THE Paiterass' PENSION SOCIETY.—This society,
established iu 1827, and after a successful career of 'early
SU years, having obtained a Royal Charter of Incorpora-
tion, with the title of " The Printers' Pension Almshouse
and Orphan Asylum Corporation," hss taken under its
care the almshouses at Wood-green, Tottenham, and is
greatlycetending its charitable efforts. The first anniver-
sary in 18'2$ was presided over by the Right Hon. Lord
John Russell, who now, as Right Hon. Earl Russell, has
again consented to preside at the forthcoming anniversary
on May R.

TUB RED, WRITE, AND BLU E. —Dov ER, MARCH 3.
To the astonishment of every observer, the little ship Red.
White, and Blue, which arrived here from Gravesend on
the lit inst., was towed out to-day, though it was blowing
a gale from the eastward, and a heavy sea running. The
tug Palmerston shipped a sea, filling her decks. The little
ship, being outside the Admiralty pier, made sail, and
allayed her course for Havre.
LIFEBOAT SERVICE. --CAISTOR, NORFOLR, MARCH
I.—During blowing weather last night (states the Rev.
G. W. Steward) signal lights of distress were seen by the
henchmen. The " Birmingham No. 2" lifeboat of the
National Lifeboat Institution was thereupon promptly
launched, and found a vessel lying on the outer side of
the Inner Barber Sand in the midst of the swell of
the sea and beating on the sand. The Serathy lifeboat
cone up about half an hour afterwards, and with the help
of the two lifeboats the vessel was got off the sand, and
taken into Yarmouth by daylight. She was a large fishing
smack, The Striver, of Yarmouth, with a crew of four
men and a boy, and was bound homeward from the fishing
ground.
SHIPMENT or FLOUR, —For some time past large
shipments of flour have been made on the steamers from
California to New York by way of the Isthmus. It seems
strange that this article can boar such heavy freight to
find a market in the Atlantic states, when but a short
time ago whole cargoes were shipped at a profit from New
York to San Francisco. Of late the steamers have been
bringing down hundreds of tons of California flour each
trip.—Panama Star.
