LICENSID VICTUALLER" ASYLUM

The thirtieth anniversary festival of this institu-
tion wee held last evesing at the Highbury Earn Tavern—
OOTAV Ire EDWARD Coors, Esq. (of the firm of Means.
Ind, Coop., and Co,. of Burton-on-Trent and Romford), in
the chair. About 600 meow sat down to dinner.
From the report of the committee, which was read by the
Btcarraay (Mr. Foster), it appeared that the committee
had come to the determination to erect 15 new dwellings on
the ground of the asylum in the Old Kent-road ; the new
buildings were to be called the Albert Wing, and his Royal
Highness the Prince had been pleased to intimate his inten-
tion of laying the foundation-stone on Wedne,dity, the 23rd
of June. A sum of 2,9131. would be required for the build-
ing and 3,78 W. for the endowment of the new erection; but
the chairman of the day (Mr. O. E. Coope) had, on the
occasion of his visit to the asylum on Friday
Wt, undertaken to miss amongst the friend, of
his firm the amount required for six of them, and the
principal blowing firms of the metropolis had subscribed 100
guineas each to the new fund. During the peat year the
subscriptions had amounted to 3,6271. 12a., the legacies to
5731. 12e. 9d., and the annual ball produoed 2001. From the
opening of the institution 396 inmates had been received, 248
had died, and 160 were now in the enjoyment of the benefits
conferred by it.
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toast of the evening,
" Prosperity to the Liceneed Victuallers' Asylum, and gno-
mes to the Albert Wing," said that since his firm had the
honour of receiving a deputation from the society his atten-
tion bad been naturally directed to the subject which called
them together, and he could not but come to the conclusion
that they, sea bolyof traders, presented an unusual instance
of well-organbied combination fur legitimate objects. They
bad established a Trade Protection &day, they had an in-
fluential insurance asaiciation in connexion with their body,
they had erected and endowed schools for the education and
clothing of the children of the poorer members of the trade,
and they had also established • journal which now held a
high position. He regretted that so many members of the
trade still held aloof from the society. Only three out of
every five in the metropolis were members,. but be hoped
that before the end of the year the three would get the two to
join. At every election there were at least 60 or 60 eligible
candidates to fill about one-tenth that number of vacancies.
The committee had therefore telt bound to takes tets:erect
additional dwellings, and he was lure the undertak would
receive every support. He had lately visited in-
stitution, and from what he saw, be fah they
were all much indebted to those gentleman who
exerted themeelves to promote the comfort of the inmates.
Amongst the other toasts were, " Success to the first of
Messrs. Ind, Coops and C 0.," " The brewers, distillers, hop
Interetuate, Ac., supporters of the institution;' "The pest
and present officers;' " The ladies," Ac.
During the evening subscriptions to • very large amount
were received, including 300 guineas from led, Coope and
Co., exclnalve of an annual inibecription of 30 guinea;
the chairman, 100 guinea"; Otto. Coops. Pau., 60 guineas ;
E. W. Ind, P. eq., 60 guineas; E. Ind, Esq., 60 guineas. The
total amount subscribed by the chairmen and hie firm
was 1.0791. 2a, being the hugest amount ever received
through any chairman.
