without the hioeseent enrages of the newsmen, the incal-
culable bkesinp of the British press could not be obtained;
far to them it wee owing that • thwarter of a nallien of papers
was distributed daily along* rise United Kingdom, inde-
pendent of over one million or copied of weekly aewspapenn

Mr. Taney, tee of the founders of the buditution, returned
thanks at ha behalf, and gave insoutess of the beeedre which
it bad been the means of maiming on the families of mere-

BROOKS, to • humorous speech,
the 'rah of the proprietor' of tbe peas with wricribt
coupled the name of Mr. W. Bradbury, of the firm of Brad-
bury aid Evans.
Mr. BILI.DevitY, In rutnening thaaks, said that be felt he
had ao ebbs or pretension to be adociated with the tout, se
he had been by his friend Mr. Brooks. Be felt that he hod
gait* enough to snider for en his own account, and was
therefore reluctant to NNW& for all. But as
one connected with the pram in the character
of proprietor, publi.her, and printer, be felt bound
to expense his deep sense of gratitude to the gentlemen who
surrounded him, Jot without their earneit co-operation ha
was fully aware that no expenditure of capital and no
amount of stably would be able to secure success. (Heir,
hear.) Is only regretted that he was not acquainted with
the Bidet, at as metier period of his life. If he had known
them Man earlier petted his find acre would have been to
bring them late closer amochelon, which he was sere would
have resulted in their mutual bereft (lieu, bear.) He
would cowhide by one remark, namely, that as he wee ono
of the culprits who had dam his utmost to give Increased
trouble and laboar to everybody in the room, he was deter-
mined, although he had ocoadonally burned his flags», to
pea and give them all the troubd in the world. (Cheers
sod laughter.)
Mr. WOOD next proposed the health of the President, Mr.
C. Dickens, which was duly honoured.
111. B. WansTilit, whose name was proposed by Mr.
Lamm, end most cordially responded to, maid he could
warmly appreciate the object for which they had assembled
that evening, having once been in the " trade" himself.
(Chien.) Some years ego (he would not say how many,
there being ladies present) he had a strong desire to follow
the stage ss a profession ; but his end attempts proving a
failure, he commenced business as bookseller and news-
vendor. Hie strong panics, however, to "fret his hoar"
induced him to return to the theatre, and in the capacity of
on actor be had faithfully stuck" over since. Be con-
cluded by giving "The ladies," which was drunk with due
honours.
A lair total of anbecriptioas wee announoed, and the even-
ing was enlivened by some excellent tinging.
