New-York, November 23. The badness of the Weather, on
Sunday Last, prevented the Charity Sermon from being
preached at St. Paul's Church as was intended.
It will be preached at that Church To-Morrow, being the
24th instant, weather permitting; and on the Sunday
following another Charity Sermon will be preached at St.
George's, for the like laudable design.
N.B. The school consists of 86 scholars, viz. 56 boys,
and 30 girls. The children are instructed in the principles
of the Christian Religion, and in Psalmody; they constsntly
attend divine service at church, on week days as well as
Sundays; and the greatest attention is paid to their
morals.
The boys are taught reading, writing, arithmetic, and
merchants accompts; the girls are taught reading, writing,
arithmetic, and needle work. They are all annually clothed,
supplied with fuel, and furnished with books, paper, &c. .
