Yesterday the thirty-first anniversary festival of
the Butchers' Charitable leatitntlon wee bald at the Landau
Tavern, D. Tit our. Em., a trustee of the society, in the
chair, supported by Francis Healey, Esq., president of the
association, Meters. Themes Barrett, T. M. Chats, Edward
Rill, Thomas King, W. J. Prentice, J. Sanderson, B.
Cooper, John Banister, William Pape. David Andrade.
Baldry, J. E. Banister, dec., and about 180 gentleman, all of
them seinected with the trade. Indeed it appeared Atm the
prlitriploof dependence for the promotion of the objects
of the charity on those whose kelisp sad sympathies
were most likely to be enlisted on behalf of their
dietresesd brethren was that presented in the getting
up of the festival, and its moons was not the lees assured.
I t may be stated that the Institution owed its origin to the
circumstaece of two or three prosperous members of the
trade meeting together and subscribing for the relief of cer
min cases of distreas among those of their own calling from
no fault of their own. From this small beginning rerang
the existing charity, which now poseemes a well-ordered
and extensive asylum at Walham.green, which at present
at•commodatee 40 inmates, while the total cumber of pen-
sioners on the fonds of the meociation is 88. It
was stated in the course of the evening that no leas than 180
recipients of the charity have died mice its establishment,
while of its original founders only three remein alive. Since
the last annual report, the appeal which has been made to
the trade has been favourably respeaded to, and a consider-
able accession to the list of subscribers encourages the hope
that thlsexcelleut inatitutionwillbe maintained in:a petition of
usefulnees. Several legacies and donations have added to the
fends of the charity, and, os the whole, the treasurer is gambled
to keep a good balance in hand. Notwithetanding the swan
which has attended the efforts of the active eupporters of the
charity, it was urged by aeveral of the gentlemen who sedated
in the proceedings of the festival, that its means were not
adequate to the d. means upon it, and that sev.rel most dr
