HAMPSHIRE. 
At a Vestry meeting lately held st King- 
ston, Thomas Fitzherbert, esq. of Siubbinge 
ton-lodge, made an offer to the parish of Port~ 
sea, of apiece o, land, on which he would 
build a large Charity-school, forthe educating 
of fifty poor boys and fifty poor girls, witha 
house for the master and mistress of the 
school to live in, provided the parish would 
agree to pay sixty pounds per annum towards 
asalary for the master and mistress: or, if 
the parish preferred it, he would give one 
thousand pounds, towards erecting the 
school. This generous offer wis accom- 
panied by a letter from Mr. F tzherbert, ex- 
pressing his conviction of the necessity of 
such an establishment, in so populous a neigh- 
bourhood, and, with much philanthropic feet< 
ing, he forcibly expatiated on the advan- 
tages the rising generation would receive 
from it. The only objection felt at the ves- 
try to this laudable, praiseworthy, and bene- 
volent design, was an unwillingness to lay a 
rate on the parish, to defray the expence of 
the salary for the proposed master and mis 
tress, The vestry therefore resolved to ap- 
point adeputation to wait on Mr. Fitzherbert, 
to thank him for his liberal offer, and to try 
what sum could be raised by a general sub- 
scription, in addition to the large gift offered 
by him. It is hoped that the parish will de- 
termine to give the poor, friendless, and or~ 
phan children of their neighbourhood, ali the 
blessings and advantages of education.
