GIRLS' SCHOOL .
GENERAL COURT . —July 13 . There was no particular subject of comment . The general report was satisfactory . After the adjournment of the Court , some of the Governors remained
in conversation . It appeared that the Matron , Mrs . Crook , had received a few pounds from benevolent friends , to be disposed of in an entertainment for the children ; the Governors then present thought that a trip to Erith by the . steam-boat promised well for the occasion ; and that the expense to and fro would be but trifling ; that arrangements could be made for some refreshments at Brother Warriner ' s ( the Pier Hotel ); and that many Brethrenfriends of the Charitymiht be
, , g disposed to join the party , and dine together on the occasion . The project was approved of by many ; but at the next meeting of the House Committee , the members very generally objected to the plan , which was consequently abandoned . The objections stated were very reasonable , and in them we perfectly agree . There is not only a serious responsibility attending the transit of so many female children , but there are other circumstancesnot necessary to be statedwhich operate
, , against a water excursion ; nor can we pass over the propriety of preserving the essential character of the school , which , however tending to happiness , is based on humility . The children have since visited the collection in Windmill-street , the Adelaide Gallery ; and it is intended they shall also visit Madame Tussaud ' s exhibition . However , we emphatically express our hope that the minds of the children may not be led to indulge a taste for pleasure . On leaving their present asylum the
great majority of them will have to fall back on danger and difficulty ; and it is incumbent on the House Committee to repress , not to encourage , any other thoughts than such as are strictly consonant with a peaceful content—gratitude to their protectors—and humility to God . Brother F . B . Ribbans has , we observe with great pleasure , for the third time , presented to the children several copies of his book on " Faith and Practice . "

BOYS' SCHOOL .
The Institution is progressing ; the best proof of its estimation will be found in perusing the letters of thanks from the parents of youths who have been educated . The funded property is now £ 8000 , threeand-a-half per cents . July 18 . —A Masonic benefit , in aid of this Charity , was held at the Grecian Saloon , City Road . The Committee appear to have catered very liberally to amuse their friends—having omitted nothing that could conduce to effect ; the result , we fear , did not realise much profit .
