This institution is designed to afford permanent. incomes to the widows and unmarried dnughtere of the middle and higher classes. The Right lion. Lord Bateman presided upon the occasion, a n d was sup ported by boot Erskine, Sir Felix Agar, the Rev. Robert. Montgomery, the Rev. Joseph Browne. (!ap tido Hickson, b. H. Lemette and W. li. Wood, Emirs., and some two or three huntlered other gen tlemen, including many leading members of the `tuck Exchange, who, with their customary libe rality, have taken a special interest in the success of this society. After the usual loyal toasts hail been drunk, and the Rev. Robert Montgomery end Captain Hickson (the former in a very eloquent speech) had respectively acknowledged "The Church," and " The Army and Navy," the noble chairman proposed " Success and prosperity ei the Institution on whose behalf they were then assembled." " Happily," he observed, " he could fieetire the society that this suc cess was in a fair way of being obtained. The ex cellence of its objects had an commended it. that, although it only originated in 1849, they could now appeal to a list of some thirty eases, most of which were appended to the report, and which had been ap positely• alluded to by Mr. Montgomery as miniature memorials of misfortune in its most touching guise, and in all these instances iwniument relief had been altiirdiel. Nothing could be more distressing than the miserable lot of those who had fallen from affluence—the widows and daughters of officers in the army and navy. of the clergy, of merchants and member; of the Stock Exchange, or of other affluent classes who had been unfortunate. Practically it was one of the first principles of religion to visit the fatherless and widewe in their affliction, and to the illustration of this principle in one of its most ho nourable forms they were, through the medium of the operations of this society, devoting themselves. Proof had been already given that their society was no bubble' by the collection of some 1.500/. per annum, and the provisions which gave the sub scribers the security of an investment in the funds. At the same time they had evidence that the society was a growing one, as the numerous atetulance that day" (and, we may ourselves add, the increased sub s Tiption announced SOOll afterwards) •• testified. - The noble chairman, who observed that it was the first °erasion upon which he had presided at a meet ing of this description, was warmly cheered for the anti ability which he 'mimed in the cause of the charity throughout the proecedings ; and atter varions ()Viler toasts had been gi' 1 it—their president (lird Shaftesbury), the trustees, Lord 'Erskine and the members of the council. and the the latter latter gallantly responded ti by Sir Felix Agar—the party broke up. We should add that the Coldstream band was in attendance thr.mghout the proceedings. together with a corps of v.walists. which included Miss Poole and that sweet-voieed Miss Williams who has become Mrs. Lorkey. By a mysterious under etateline. al-o. which was sail to exist between the etewarie and the latellt•rd, tie dinner, eines, and at • totellnee were of a eharact cr of unusual ewellence.
