children sang in concert the dedication performing
their parts very credtably, without accompaniment
or leader. Henry Dodd, a chubby little fellow,
about nine or ten years old, spoke an opening ad-

The psalm Praise We the Lord" was repeated by
them, and a further address delivered by George
Watson, boy of somewhat more advanced age

Tho CHAIRMAN said, the children were capable
OF going through many other exercises and exa-
limitations which would be very interesting to
the audience, but the committee feared there would
not be time, as they wished them to inspect the
building, in the rearing Of which there had been
some unavoidable delay, owing to the weather :but
still they had great cause to rejoice at the progress
they had made and the site Of the place and build
ing. Two years ago it had been suggested, if the
ladies would dispense with ribbon occasionally,
and devote it to this purpose, much might be done
but they had done more than they then contsmpla-

street and other places in New York city, and six

uated right and left and tho eating rooms are
in the basement. Tho internal arrangements are,
intimately connected with the institution seem to
think improvements might DO effected. The ereo.
ton Of the hospital will afford relief to some Of
the Inconvenience. The inmates are provided for
in every respect, even to tobacco and pipes. They
live perfectly unrestrained, following their own
bent, which is generally a very harmless one, and
even dressing as suits their own fancy. The present
number is three hundred-much less than it was
supposed there would be. This may be accounted
for thus-seamon Of temperate and careful habits
need not, and do not, become destitute in old age,
save by accident; and those Of contrary habits sell
dom live TO reach it. OF those at present there,
many are manned and blind, and among them
are several masters Of merchant ships. Some work
in different ways, but they not compelled to do
anything. They read good deal, borrowing books
from the chapains library, as that gentleman show
ed us by his memoranda, to considerable oxtent.
The library is undoubtedly we'll selected, containing
sound, good books, and some popular ones; but the
tedium oftho poor veterans lfs might be relieved by
an addition to the atter description Of works, and
no harm done. Basket making is common pursuit,
and our reporter saw ono blind man working at one
in excellent style All money that they earn is, of
course, at their disposal and some make great
deal. One anecdote Of an unexpected benefit con-
icrred by the charity, is amusing. An old man had
been there for considerable time. carrying on q
