Newsvenders' Benevolent and Provident

The twenty-fourth annual meeting of this society
was held yes'erday at the News Exchange, Black
Horse-court, Fleet-street, Mr. Kennedy in the chair.
Mr. MILES, the hon. s, cretary, read the report,
which congratulated the members on the increasing
prosperity of the society, and the fact that during
the past year many members of the trade who had
hitherto stood aloof had come forward and joined
the society. By a wise rule of the society the elec-
tion of its pensioners was limited to the amount of
dividend received upon its invested stock, and this,
now amounting to £1,925, enabled the committee to
receive another pensioner on the fund, whose elec-
tion would take place at the close of the meeting,
making a total of five pensioners, one at £l6 and
four at .£lO per annum each. The committee were
enabled to announce a large addition to their funds
by many donations received at the la►e anniversary
dinner, presided over by Mr. Charles Dickens, to
whom the thanks of the members are due. The total
income of the society for the year bad been £342 9s.
7d., and the expenditure /33765. 5d., being a balance
on the year of £25 38. 2d. The office of secretary
bring vacant consequent o❑ the sudden retirement.

office.

mittee and officers, the retiring directors and audi-
tors were re-elected.

NexItCELY CREDIBLE:I.-I'6e oddest Idea (says
the Court Journal) that mai fa-hion has had of late
(Where I' we venture to ask] is that of making gentlem-m wear coloured coats and breeches at balls. They must be
either of silk or velvet, and (ming to the " sottuess" and
constquent appropriateness, velvet is the chosen.
RE - POSTF.D NEWSPAPERS. -- • Grantley Berkeley has lately writtrn that—" Postmasters cannot
charge an extra penny for the transinisfion of a stamped
newspaper, on the ground that its redirection, if on the
pap -r itself, and nut on a fresh cover, is 'writing' prohibited
by 15w. I have just had the case decidwi by the Post-
master General, and the two pennies which were charged
on a
paper re-sent to me from" Wycombe to London, and
thence to_Winkton, returned.
