DEATH OF ME. BENJAMIN POSTAL—A great
number of our readers will share with us the regret with
which we record the sadden deceased Mr. Benjamin Foster,
the well-known and highly-esteemed proprietor of the Jeru-
salem Tavern, St. John's-gate, ClerkenwelL On Thursday
night that gentleman attended the vestry apparently in his
mud health, and on Friday morning he suddenly ex-
pired. As • valuable administrator of the benefits
of the Licensed Victuallers Institutions. the deoeesed
had for a long periodeareed the gratitude and esteem of that
body. The restorations of the old structure, in which he
took such a pride, arid the historical and literary samalaticare
of which he perpetuated with such congenial taste, had
gathered around him the society of the most eminent mem-
bared the liberal professions, by whom his death will be
felt as a severe loss in their own circle. The " Urban Club,"
which arose under his auspices, will thus lose one of the
most kindly and not the least intellectual of their members.
