admitted that the court had no jurisdiction over them until
deem, last, and since that 900 lioness had been drained,
sod two miles of sewers bad bean built within their Juriediee

Mr. SIDON —No seensation.

Mr. SIMON beeped most unequivocally to disavow any

Mr. BLAKE accepted tte disavowal. As to closing
all the usegools in London within twelfth months, he
believed it would bs impreeticable; and, even it it
were, the nuisances created would he greater fur a time
than that which was removed. In one point he agreed
cordially with the report, and that was its maw
neadation that a tid .1 OM should not be made the recipient
of the bump of a gnat city. (Hear, hear.) The recom
satiation ter lengthening the sewers to proven' nine at
cartels periods of the tide, he thought was premature :
kientifio men were at present employed in foundering a I
means hy which the sewage should be diverted from the c*ty
altogether (Hear, hear.) One word or two with respect
to the water supply. He quite concurred se to the advan-
tage of a more akindent supply, but Mr. bison did not tell

Bewley it was quite Mu that hat any &endont happened to

wherks, with en intermittent supply, and a system of ca.
furnace, there would be time to remedy the inconvenience.
(Herr, bear.) As to the argument against leaden cisterns,
it cutlet be got rid of by the eithetdution of slate, which was
the cleanest et all possible reservoirs. Ou the point of
is-
pesos, also, it appeared that the intermittent system had
the advaninte, es it gave an average expense to nab cot

Win refines, to the mortality of the City, it was grad

ENDORS' BENEVOLENT AND
PIWVIDENT INsTITIITION.

Yesterday the first anniversary dinner of this in-
stitution took place at the Albion Hotel, Aldengatt-'treat
Mr. Charlet, Dickens in the chair. After propoidog the
health of bar Msjeerv. Mr. Dickens gave " Priam Almrt,
and the net of the Royal Family," and he reminded the
company that this was the anniversary of the birthday of
the Pioneers It lye!. Ho would therefore savant that they
shntld connect with the toast their good wishes for many
happy returns of the day to that dastinguished young
ladifte tout having been received with enthusiastic applause,
•

The CHAIRMAN said at now became his duty to give
what was usually milled the toast of the evening; but he
would promise them that what he said should ha said
earnestly and to the purpose, at once as mush and as little
as possible. As be learnt from the pamphlet which
bed been pla,vii before him it was tea years since
the newevenden (being a large and industr:ous
body) established a benevolent and provident ir.stitution,
for granting temporary relief and permanent ass SWIM to
persoas engaged is their avocation. And he observed that
the institution, as originated, had this ezeollent feature—
that only those were eligible as permanent pensioners, who
were members of the society, and had contributed to its
fends—as he thought a very salatory and wise regaled in,
not only as encouraging provident habits and a tech ig of
brotherho d, but also as sparing the reduced recipients of
their bounty, any humiliation in the receipt of those funds,
as inspiring tee thought that they could take the money
withaut • blush ; that he had done a just thing in subsuib-
lag to this society, and he did it for others no lees than for
himself. He did not then know that the hour of sickness
and distress, which came to so many of his fellow labourers,
would come to him; bat having come, he thanked God that
he wee mindful of it, and could take the pittance with an in-
, depoodent spirit and upright head. This institution
lbw. it had a thousand pounds out at interest, was still
lemendingly young—its whole life had been passed in the
onesery—it was so young, indeed, that it had never until
this day come down to show itself after dinner. (Loud
laughter.) But as there was, in the infancy of almost every
Younfidnitturee& certain period when the frame was collecting
vitality and strength, so he believed that this youdg creature
had been employed during the 10 years of its existence in
taking the aecessery amount of deep and sustenance, and
that to-day • young giant was exhibited to theta for the first
time which , liks the giant is she " Arabian Nights," would
kick over the casket which had contained it, and Nutlike
that giant) sever be able to get into it again. (Cheere end
laughter.) Toe rapidity with which young children outgrow
their clothes was a complaint in many families—he knew if
was in his own, and' was familiar to them all. It
this child of theirs did wit grow out of its first
salt of • 1,0001., and get measured in quick succession for •
suit of 2,0001., 6,0001.. or 10,000 L, the fault would be only
theirs, and they would deserve to be made an example oL
(Cheers.) For himself, as • member of the family, he should
sot be satisfied unless he had an opportunity of saying to the
grown-tip beatifies, " I knew you when you were a mere
baby, with a very weak chest; I sat at the
head of the table on the first occasion when
your pinafore was taken etr; and now I ace you
• 'Moog mos. who (if I may venture to adopt the
phraseology of the sporting portion of the mem) may be
heard of eves • year at the bar of the Albion, and whose
mousy is reedy for comers, sad who would be very slad to
meet with may eastomers that Wight call upon him." (Cheers.)
The skims at the newsvendine upon one another and
epos the public, to erect a president institution
of their own, sad to elevate themselves in the
amid male, were undeniable. It was not that they
toiled in all weathers—that they were up early and late—
that they were watching whilst others were sleeping—that
they ministered throughout the whole year to our enjoy
meats—it was that they were consented with that great
power which* had become the axis upon which
the moral world turned mmad—humbly con-
nected, so doubt, but usefully and inseparably, the
newsvenden were to that fountain of knowledge,
popilarly sailed " the Press," what the modusts were to a
Will of water, or what the pipes nader the streets of this
city were to the great gas-works from which the light came
that tensed the slight tato day—it was that they went for
ever between us and those mighty engines which, working
the whole night through, were fe t, in their faintest throb,
throughout the world—it was that those men should be in
some degree worthy of their trade, and should not
be bottled the members of any other industrious sass, but
should be up wish the foremost. It was sot more than 260
years since that the very first idea of a neweptpar was con-
ceived in this island, to stimulate the people to resist the
Spanish Armada. It was ..ot 200 years since the first notion
of • regular newspaper, In anything like the present form,
was reduced to pewit.). 160 yews ago there did not appear
to have been a stogie daily newspaper is Bagland, and 10
years later only one. When he compared such a
state of things with that whir* now existed, he
felt as if the humble men connected with news-
veadlog should be la advmos of those times, ia
the eases degree as the newspapers themselves, and that they
shetald he as musk respected in it as the papermaker or the
Sttte, Tea object which had brought them together to-
r might at lest appear small enough—but it was so large
aid emamprehemelve in principle that it deserved their best
coadderatim. His opinion was that every follower of that
peat plonk whisk was ever turning up the world, and
knew no semen of passe is Ib work, was entitled to their
highest ososideradon. Re would, therefore, call upon them
to drink heartily and eardiely " Prosperity to the We".
molders' Benevolent and Provident Ismitadas." (Cheers.)
