RYE—At a recent meeting of the Livertool Literary and Philosophical Sod's 7 an interesting paper was read by Dr. Hayward on the "I:migration of Public Orphans." Ile pointed out that thewe are beim; brought up in Liverpool by the parish authorities 2,000 orphans and that they cost fur their mere maintenance and orphans, £l3 a year each, and including the interest en ho cost of land anti buildings £lB a year each, which makes a total of 30,000 a year out : t.f the ratta for the mere bringing up of parish orphans H., stared that they are kept unt.l they are from tourteen to sixteen years of age ; and that by Miss Rye taking away fifty at the aversive age of • eight years at' saved the ratepayers £5,200, which these fifty orphans would have cost in their mere maintenance aid education from eight to sixteen years, and at the isau,e time provided for them very much better than would otherwise have been possible. Hr showed that inducing parish oruhans to emigrate at the average ace o.f ..ivht sears would be MI immense advantage to the mother country. to our colonies, and to the orphans theutseives ; anti that keeping the orphan girls in these institutions until sixteen years of age rendered them unfit to take their place in life, and, in ti,- case tit parish orphans, ct.ntrlb..ted to their ruin ; while if they emigrated under Miss Rye's auperintendonce their safety. ',gelidness, and success would be insured. It was he urged, the result of ex; erience that to is ace. ptable to the colonies, and to be successful there, persons should emigrate not at much lates than eight years of age. The 70 taken out by 111i4 Rye had been gladly accepted, and ahe had already homes waiting tor 100 wore. . • .  u L ova —A sempstress manisd Cat herii e M'Carthy hae le.en chore. 41 at tie Mansion Rouse, ii ,onion, with ...lie) mi, Mr. 'Pallor, a Imeridr,per in Beech et, I; obi.vm It apiwars that she h,a foi the last. two ) ears hi-se in the hahit of coming t • ittr.
