ne girl was fitted out and sent to service.

There were, therefore, on May 26, 1850, only Two Hundred and
Seventy-five Orphans in the New Orphan-House; and with the teachers,
overseers, nurses, and indoor and out-door servants, &c., the whole
number of persons connected with the establishment was Three Hundred and
Eight. The total number of Orphans, who were under our care from April
1836, up to May 26, 1850, was Four Hundred and Forty-three.

I notice further the following points in connexion with the New
Orphan-House.

1. Without any sectarian distinction whatever, and without favour or
partiality, Orphans are received. There is no interest whatever required
to get a child admitted, nor is it expected that a certain sum be paid
with the Orphans. Three things only are requisite: a, that the children
have been lawfully begotten; b, that they be bereaved of both parents by
death; and c, that they be in destitute circumstances. Respecting these
three points strict investigation is made, and it is expected that each
of them be proved by proper documents; but that having been done,
children may be admitted from any place, provided there is nothing
peculiar in the case that would make them unsuitable inmates for the
establishment.--I particularly request, that persons will kindly
refrain from applying for children, except they are bereaved of both
parents, as I can not receive them, if only bereaved of one; for this
establishment has been from the beginning, only for destitute children
who have neither father nor mother, and there can be no exceptions
made.

2. The attention of the reader is called to the name of the Orphan
Establishment. It is called the "New Orphan-House." I particularly
request that the friends of the Institution will use this name and
earnestly beg, in order to avoid mistake, that it may not be called the
"Orphan Asylum," as there is about half a mile from the spot, where the
"New Orphan-House" has been erected, another charitable establishment,
which has been for many years in existence, called the "Female Orphan
Asylum." But most of all I earnestly request, that the New Orphan-House
be not called "Mr. Muller's Orphan-House." I have now and then been
pained by observing that this appellation has been given to it. I trust
that none, who recognise the finger of God in this work, will be sinning
against Him by giving to me any measure of that honour, which so
manifestly and altogether is only due to Hi
