ME ARMY AND NAVY PENSIONERS' EMPLOY.
MEET SOCIETY.

The record annual general meeting of this society
was held yesterday, at the Royal United Service Institu-
tion, Whitroball.yanl, under tho presidency of his Royal
Highness the Duke of CAIIIMIDGL Commander-in•Chiet.
'There was a large attendance of military and naval men.
His Royal. HICHNESs, in opening the proceedings, said
that, surrounded as he was by military and naval men, he
need not remark on the good which such a society as this
was calculated to effect, and be rejoiced that the number of
geotlenien who had taken the trouble of forming it could
view its progress with satisfaction. It would, he hoists], be
well supported not only by military and naval men, but by
the public at large, who were equally interested in the
soldier's welfare. When an old soldier at the end of his
career was thrown on the world, this society enabled him,
who was unequal to military work, to utilise bis labour,
mid be would say that a more beneficent object no society
could have in view. (Applause.) To the liberality of Cep-
tale Walter the society was touch indebted, as also to Messrs.
Con, the army agents, bad taken upon them a pecuniary
ability, which he hoped the society might this year
with economy be able to discharge. It was most satisfactory
to know that the men who had been recommended by the
society for employment had behaved themselves in the moot
excellent manner, as far as the council -knew. Ten pen-
sifters thus recommended had been employed by Messrs.
Thompson, the wine merchants, who bore testimony
to their good behaviour. Every facility was given
to the men to enter their names, but they were
Obliged toldm with them cortifisates for Joe
and if Hiffa not produce them reletenee waslar*
the regiments in which they served, and nothing was done
for them until a report had been received from their corps
that their conduct had been satisfactory. It would be un•
wise and foolish were thssoclety to recommend for employ.
meet men who did not bear a good character, and having
received s good character of those whom they did recom-
mend, if the men should misconduct themselves afterwards
no responsibility could rent on the society. (Hear, hear.)
Hat as fares they knew all the men had turned out well,
sod he could himself personally bear testimony to this in
the cape of one man who had been recommended to him
by the society. He might mention as a gratifying
fact that three sergeants recommended by the society
were now employed in the coast guard service at salaries
of 7fil. per annum. (Hear, hear.) He wished to observe
that this society bad nothing to do with the Commis-
sionaires' Society. They were desirous of recommending
men to the other society if it felt inclined to accept their
recommendation. The two societies were not antagonistic,
but this society was no pert of the other, and that was a
point which it was necessary should be clearly understood.
His royal highness having resumed his seat amidst loud
applause,
The SECRETARY read the report of the committee, from
which it appeared that the total amount of subscriptions
and donations received in the past year was 4991. 16s. 7d.,
and the working expenses 455/. 2s. Id., leaving a balance in
favour tithe society of 441.145. fid. Having referred to the ad-
vances made by-Capt. Walter in 1559-60, the committee stated
they had, with the view of placing their operations as a
satidsotory footing, obtained a loan of 2001. from Mears.
Con and Co., the army agent', by which they had cleared
off all outstanding debts, and to which sum their liabilities
were now reduced. 'hey pointed out that the sum of 449/.
10a 71. received last year wows from donations, subscrip•
thus from life members, and from annual subscriptions, the
latter amounting to about MIX, and on which alone they
°mild calculate during the present year, and to which her
Majesty had contributed 50/., and the Duke of Cam-
bridge, 101.
General Sir J. Beacom moved the adoption of the re-
port, which was carried.
A vote of thanks terminated the proceedings.
We may observe as a hint to volunteer corps that a gen-
tleman subsequently applied to the secretary to know whe-
ther the society could recommend efficient men as drill and
maisketry instructors, when the latter observed the society
could confidently do so, there being thirty men so recom-
mended at present employed.
