The powerful Influence of the sun on the skin at this period
of the year calls for increased attention In preserving its delicacy and
beauty. The most pleasing and effectual specific for this desirable
object is

R OWL ANDS' K AL YDOR,
so deservedly established in Royal and Public favour and estimation.
Its application neutralizes the effects of atmosphere, and induces
that healthy action of the microscopic vessels of the skin, by which
Its delicacy and beauty are so essentially promoted. Freckles, Tan,
Spots, Pimples, and Discolorations fly before the application of the
KALYDOR, and give place to a healthy smoothness and transpa•
rency of complexion. Ladies travelling or taking out-door exercise
will find it to diffuse a grateful and refreshing feeling. In cases of
Sunburn, or Stings of Insects, its virtues have long been acknow-
ledged. Price 4s. 6d. and Ss Gd. per Bottle.

The Select Committee ~f the House of Commons having, after a
lengthened inquiry, and the examination of a great number of wit-
nesses, reported to the House
" That the cow 'nuance of a market for the sale of live stock in
Smithfield is proved by experience to be attended with serious incon-
venience and objections, and that it ought to be removed.
" That it is the opinion of the Committee that, in accordance
with the tenor of the evidence, only one great metropolitan cattle
market can exist."

And the Islington Market having already the sanction of an Act
of Parliament, conferring the privilege of holding the market,
taking tolls, slaughtering, &e., and is possessed of all the require-
ments suggested by the Committee, especially its locality (being
with!, three hundred and eighty yards of the Junction Railway,
connecting all ethers)—the places of disembarkation for Scotch,
Irish, and foreign cattle, &c--the Acting Committee, in perfect re-
liance on the soundness of their views, and encouraged by the un-
equivocal support of the press, and the decision of the Select Com-
mittee of the House of Commons, confidently submit their plans to
the public.

"It is enacted that it shall be lawful for John Perkins, his heirs
and assigns, or the owner or owners for the time being of the piece
of ground, to open, establish, and hold a market, to be called the
Islington Cattle M trket, &c. ; it is further enacted that it shall be
lawful for any person, duly authorised by the owners for the time
being, to kill, slaughter, singe, scald, melt, or dress any beasts,
&e., or any fat. lard, tallow, hides, horns, or other articles or things
whatsoever, within the buildings on or belonging to the said market.
"And that the said market shall be for ever deemed and taken to
be a public market."
The Islington Market Estate consists of the Market House, six
public houses, thirty-six dwelling-houses, with all the substantial
buildings in the market, &c., spacious lairs enclosing fifteen acres
(Smithfield Market does not contain six acres), pens, stalls, stables,
offices, banking-houses, tanks for water, which is laid to each lair,
&c., erected by the late Mr. Perkins, on twenty-two acres of free-
hold land, besides several acres of 1_ ng leasehold (in all nearly thirty
acres). Thus it will be seen that the shareholders will immediately
possess a valuable property, as a safe investment for their capital,
with other prospective advantages.
The market is in complete order, and already more than a thou-
sand head of cattle are sent weekly for the advantage of the superior
lairage, water; &c.

The estimates, which have been carefully prepared, show that there
must be a large profit to the shareholders, without in any way trench-
inn on the rights of the public. The cattle market at Liverpool,
which was formerly in the centre of the town, has been removed to
the suburbs, and the 251. shares pay a dividend of 2/. Its per share
per annum, exclusive of the abattoirs, which are now paying iu ad-
dition twenty per cent. to the shareholders.
In accordance with the powers of their Act of Parliament, the com-
pany intend to construct, with all the recent scientific improvements
spacious slaughter ng establishments and a carcase market; for the
latter a site is appropriated containing a frontage of two thousand
feet, immediately adjoining the market. Extensive cooling stores
will be erected for keeping the butcher's surplus stock (under his own
control) at all seasons at a uniform temperature.
To GRAZIERS and OWNER+ of cattle sending stock for sale to the
metropolis, the Islington Market cannot but be preferred to the
ancient site of Smithfield, where insufficient space and consequent
cruelty to the animals deteriorate their value and entail a posi:ive
and considerable loss, which the greatest care has proved unavailing
to arrest. .

i; I c
tz I _

CD".
• Ga

To BUTCHERS and SALESMEN the improvement by the change of
site will be obvious ; to the former the contiguity of the carcase
market will offer advantages superior to those they have hitherto
possessed, and the system of abattoirs needs only to be understood
to be appreciated ; and to the latter the spacious standing room for
the animals will enable them to give the fullest satisfaction to their
employers.
To the Public generally, as consumers of animal food, the legisla-
tive decision must be considered a boon, tending to a decided sani-
tary improvement. Cattle goaded, bruised, excited into fever, de-
prived of water and fodder, cannot be in that healthy condition
previous to being killed that they should be. At the Islington
Market, with all its varied accommodations and improvements, the
cruelty which has been so loudly denounced, with the consequent
depreciation of the animal for food, will not take place.
To the Shareholder this Company offers an investment totally free
from risk, with a uniform and undeviating source of dividend, such
as few undertakings have ever been able to command ; whilst the
small amount of the shares, wholly paid an, will enable persons in
every grade of society to participate in the advantages.
Applications for Prospectuses and Shares may be made to the Soli-
citors of the Company ; to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Com-
pany, Wellington-street North, Strand ; and at the Market-house,
Islington. Prospectuses may also be had of Thomas Allsop, Esq.,
Royal Exchange-buildings.

FENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
I. The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty
years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to he the only
article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or
grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change.
While other dyes destroy the hair by their pernicious properties,
this liquid promotes its growth, nourishing the roots to the latest
period et' life. Persons who have been deceived by preparations
which have a horrible stench (dangerous to the head), troublesome
In their application, and unsatisfactory in their colour, will find
Spencer's Chinese Liquid Hair Dye a distinct article, agreeable in
every respect, and that " none but itself can be its paraliei." Price
3s. 6d., 65., and 10s. per bottle.

A WORD to the WORLD.

Enormous Globe, on which I dwell,
And some few others, too,
I've lately thought 'twould be as well
To say a word to you.
The reason for my doing thus,
I'll candidly confess;
I hare a something to discuss
Concerning M. and S.

Moses and Son, I often say,
A world-wide fame have got;
Now tell me in a ready way,
Whether they have or not?
And tell me also, I insist,
Thou venerable ball,
Where Moses' equals may exist,
If they exist at all ?

I need not wait for your reply.
I know what it would be—
" The name of Moses, ranked so high,
is spread o'er land and sea.

" No equals to these men I know,
No flag is so unfurled ;
I speak the truth in saying so,
As sure as I'm a world.

" Since first mankind adopted dress,
There never was attire
To equal that of M. and S.,
For whom you touch the lyre.

" Well may their dress be famed afar,
And not a nose he curled,
At articles which really are
The choicest in the world."

I NO l'H ERN CIRCUIT.--York, July 24.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN
and a Special Jury.)
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—DURLAND V.
BRIGGS.
This was an action for breach of promise of marriage.
The defendant denied the promise and the breach.
Mr. Watson, Q C., and Mr. Hugh Hill, were counsel
for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, Mr. Atherton,
and Mr. Wallis for the defendant.
Mr. WATSON, in opening the case, Said that the plain-
tiff was a young lady of great beauty and accomplish-
ments, aged 23, the daughter of an attorney at South
Cave, near Doncaster. The defendant was an officer in
the Ist Dragoon Guards, and is 26 years of age, equal in
station. An attachment had been formed, upon which
followed an engagement, for breach of which the pre-
sent action was brought—not from sordid motives, but
to stop the whisperings which had gone abroad.
Mr. Sergeant WiLicrms here said that he had given
more than ordinary attention to the ease, and, he was of
opinion that no good man could withhold from the plain-
tiff his sympathy and admiration. The correspondence
did infinite credit to her head and heart. No human
being could esteem and. honour more than the defend-
ant did her accomplishments and attractions; but there
was a destiny, in marriage, and the-,defendant having
felt that he could not promote her happiness as a hus
band, in the' manner she deserved, he could not fulfil his
promise, but he hoped that time would heal the wound
he had occasioned.
Mr. WA.rsort said, that deeply as the plaintiff was
wounded, she had no vindictive feeling, possessed no sor-
did motives, and as the question of damages was left en-
tirely in his hands, he at once acce3ed to' the Learned
Sergeant's proposal, and the jury- would therefore find
for the plaintiff damages 881.
Verdict accordingly.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Exeter, July 24.

NISI PRlUS.—(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS, and a
Jury of the city of Exeter.)

BROOKS V. ROOKS-SEDUCTION.
This case, which was commenced at eight o'clock on
Tuesday evening, occupied the court till half an hour
after midnight, when the defendant's case was not con-
cluded, and was resumed next morning. It was an
action for seduction, the plaintiff being a poor widow,
the mother of three daughters, living in Bear-street,
Exeter; and the defendant, the Rev. Charles Rooks
(" Dr. Rooks" by virtue of a German University di-
ploma), a clergyman of the Established Church, holding
the living of Nymet Rowland, Devon, but for some years
past residing in Hill's-court, Exeter. The defendant
pleaded, firstly, that he was not guilty of the seduction;
secondly, that the woman seduced, the plaintiff's daugh-
ter, was not "in the service" of plaintiff ; and thirdly,
that the claim for compensation was barred by the
Statute of Limitations.

Mr. Collier and Mr. Kerslake were counsel for plain-
tiff ; Mr. Greenwood, counsel for defendant.
The defendant was present during the trial.
Divesting the case of the strong and indignant
language used by the plaintiff's counsel, the facts stated
by the witnesses, who were chiefly the three daughters
of plaintiff and the medical gentleman, were as follows:
—Several years ago (whether in September, 1841, or
1842, was a disputed point) the plaintiff's second
daughter, Mary Maria Brooks, being then 24 years of
age, , was in the domestic service of Mr. Rooks. During
six weeks or two months that she was there he some-
times kissed her, while he was under the influence of
liquor. In November she went home to nurse her
mother and elder sister, who were both ill. During that
winter defendant used to come to see her mother, bring-
ing brandy and medicines, and also administering spiri-
tual counsels; he brought her religious tracts and books.
and prepared her for receiving the sacrament, which ho
wished to administer to her. He then engaged Mary
Maria Brooks to make shirts and to mark pocket hand-
kerchiefs for him, bringing the calico and cambric him-
self. He insisted on her bringing the shirts to his
house singly, as they were finished ; and he also re-
quested her to come to his house and make patterns for
sofa cushions, which she did. On one occasion, in the
beginning of January, 1843 (as she stated), she brought
home some pocket handkerchiefs. At his desire she
went up stairs into his bedroom to put them into the
drawer. Ilis female servant was out at that time. As
soon as she had got in the bedroom he locked the door,
threw her on the bed, and the intimacy was effected.
Both before and after that defendant frequently urged
her to come back to his service; and in the early part of
March, her mother and sister being better, she went back.
She then felt sickness and headache, and told defendant
she was afraid of being in the family way. He said "he
would give her some pills." She asked what they were
made of, and he said " Never mind, they'll do you no
harm, if they do you no good." She took the pills. and
a fortnight afterwards a miscarriage happened. At a
subsequent time she became pregnant again, and he gave
her pills, and she miscarried again. He desired her to
tell her mother she was in the family way, but not to tell
of the pills. She told her elder sister, Eliza, in Novem-
ber, 1843. According to the statement of Eliza Brooks,
on this occasion, defendant met her at the parlour door.
and wished to shake hands with her, but she refused,
saying " No, sir, look at my sister's condition. You have
deceived my mother. You said we should never regret
her coming to live with you." He said he was " very
sorry, but that they must make the best of
a bad matter. All I want (added he) is your confi-
dence." The eldest sister said, " Remember, sir, you
are a clergymaa." The defendant shook and trembled
very much, and crying, with his face between his hands,
replied, " I know I am. Hush! hush!" He asked the
sister to come and take wine, but she would not. He
then gave her 30s. to get necessaries for her sister's con-
finement. On the Bth of February, 1844, Mary Maria
was confined. At two o'clock in the morning defendant
came to the p!aintiff's house, and entreated her to come
and see her daughter. She did go, and defendant was
there all nigh, attending to the fire and nursing the
child. He also fetched Mr. Land, the surgeon, and paid
him. The child died in three days, and defendant went
with plaintiff to order the coffin, which he paid for, and
superintended the funeral. All this was proved by the
sisters, and by old Mary Shepherd, the monthly
nurse, who said defendant warned her " to be sure not
to tell anybody, particularly Mr. Latimer, ha-
cause ho was no friend to parsons." [Mr.
Latimer is editor of the Western Times, and
the old nurse had been employed in his family.]
Mary Brooks was seriously ill from coming down
stairs too soon after her confinement, and the surgeon
recommended her sister to call in Dr. Shapter. At this
defendant was alarmed, and, weeping and trembling, he
went down on his knees to the sister, entreating her,
" For God's sake, Eliza, don't have Shapter, or eke the
Bishop will know all, and I shall lose my gown." He
frequently told the moth, r and Eliza that if " they would
not expose him he would provide for Mary for life; that
he had liked her from the first moment he saw her, and
if his wife died he would marry her." [Defendant has
been separated from his own wife for some years.] He
told Mary Brooks the same; and, according to her state-
ment, gave her a written promise to provide for her. She
locked up this document in her work box in a drawer
in her bed nom, and kept the bed-room door always
locked. The paper was sate for years, but lately,
in 1847, she missed it, and she then discovered that
Mr. Rooks had another key to the bed-room door.
She charged him with taking the paper away, but he
denied it—he did not (she said) ever deny having
given her the written promise. She stated that for a
year or two previous to her leaving defendant's house
another woman (who was named) used to come there at
night to see him, and that Once that his manner was
more distant towards herself; she thought defendant
ought to confice himself to her. At the time of her
confinement, in the early part of 1844, her youngest
sister Anne, who was then about nineteen years old, was
allowed to go and live in the house as Mr. Rooks' ser-
vant, to answer the door. She lived there two years.
Mary Brooks herself used to dine with the defendant,
and sat in the parlour. Ile taught her to write. He
used to read prayers with her, and sometimes she read.
Whenever Mr. Rooks had to assist in performing any
marriage service he and she used to read over the service
tJgother beforehand. After her confinement she was
churched in the parlour by the defendant himself. She
lived in the house of defendant till November, 1848.
[The action was commenced 12th December.] She had
been ill ever since, and was now ill. The defendant had,
she said, given her pills and mixtures on several occa-
sions, and in consequence she had four miscarriages
within one year.

TROOPS FROM VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.—On Tues-
day evening the following detachments arrived at the
invalid depof, Fort Pitt, Chatham, as invalids for me-
dical inspection, viz., one corporal and 13 privates, with
three women and 13 children, 96th Regiment, and 12
privates of the 99th, under command of Lieutenant
Charles Blamire, 99th, with surgeon John Moody, R N.,
who was in medical charge. The above troops came by
the ship Way, rley, and had landed the same day at
Gravesend. The ship sailed from Launceston, Van
Diemen's Land, on the 26th of March last, when after
six days' sailing the ship encountered one of the most
severe gales ever remembered, lasting for about seven
wecks. The ship's bulwarks were carried away, and the
cook's galley, with copper, &c., was washed from its
place by the violence of the sea breaking over her.
During the perilous situation of the ship the troops
were battened below for nearly six weeks. On the 6th
of May they rounded Cape Horn. The vessel being
heavily laden with corn and wool, and being in imminent
danger, 380 odd bags of wheat were thrown overboard
in order to lighten her; when off Newfoundland the
wind became a little abated. The troops speak of the
gale as most awful; they state that at times the sea was
some feet deep on deck, and they expected nothing
else but the ship must have gone down. Serjeant Joseph
Daniel, 96th, came home with the above for the purpose
of joining the depot at Chatham.

COLONEL WALDO SIBTEIORP.-Our readers will,
we are sure, deeply regret to hear that the upright and
honest Colonel Sibthorp is seriously indisposed. For
some time he has been unable to attend the House, and
he is now confined to his bed. On Saturday he was
considered to be rather better, but fears are entertained
for his safety.—Boston and Linden Herald.

These were the statements of the plaintiff's wit-
nesses. Little effort was made in cross-examination to
break down their general credit ; but Mary Brooks was
subjected to a strict inquiry by Mr. Greenwood as to
whether she had not " made a mistake " about the year
of her entering the defendant's service. fl showed her
several little red memorandum books of household affairs
purporting to record payments of wages to herself and
her fellow-servants, and asked if they wore not attested
by her signature. She denied the handwriting, as far
as concerned the dates in 1842 ; but there was much
confusion in this evidence, and her sister Eliza thought
two of the signatures, in March and May, 1842, were in
Mary's handwriting. A man named Charles Southard,
formerly servant to defendant, stated Mary Brooks was
there in 1842, and that the signatures were
hers ; but he had only seen her write three times.
Mary Hanger, who had been in the service previous to
Mary Brooks, and came away ill of the small-pox, when
the plaintiff, the mother, attended her, also stated
it was in the winter of 1841 she was ill, from which
it would follow that in the spring of 1842 Mary Brooks
came into defendant's permanent service. On this point the
counsel for the defence relied. He stigmatized the action as
entirely one got up by the attorney for the sake of the
costs; he indignantly inveighed against the conduct of
the plaintiff in permitting her daughter t., live so many
years in impure concubinage, and in allowing another, a
younger daughter, to go and live within reach of the
seducer's embraces; ho declared that a mother who
could so act was unworthy of any compensation; and he
protested against the delay of several years in bringing
this action. The counsel for the defendant mainly
relied, however, on his argument, that the woman was in

defendant's own service in 1842, previous to the seduc-
tion, so as to got a verdict cn the s:!cond plea.
The case was r,iumel at nine o'clock on Wednesday
morning, when, the defendant's evidence being com-
pleted, and the counsel for the plaiEtiff having replied,
his Lordship summed up, and
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
Damages, 100/.

Previous to the opening speech of the plaintiff's coun-
sel an offer was made in court, at the suggestion of the
Judge, to refer the case to arbitration; but it was un•
dertood by the public that the defendant declined to do
so. However, when Mr. Collier remarked that the pro-
posal to refer had been declined, Mr. Greenwood said it
had been accepted. The plaintiff's attorney, Mr. Willvs-
ford, was sworn, and stated he had repeatedly offered to
refer the matter to any clergyman or gentleman of the
county, but the defendant had sometimes accepted, some-
times refused, but the arrangement had always gone off:

CHARGE OF CHILD-3IURDER.
Mary Ann Ferneyhough was indicted for the wilful
murder of her illegitimate child on the 12th April last,
at Rugeley, in this county.
Mr. Huddleston and Mr. M'Mahon appeared for the
prosecution; and Mr. Sergeant Allen and Mr. Carring-
ton for the defence.

On the morning of Friday, the 13th of April, a bun-
dle containing the body of a newly-born female child was
found in a mill-stream below the mill-wheel at Rugeley,

of a child. The strings found on the neck of the child
were identified as having been torn off her dress, and a
great mass of proof was adduced which left no doubt
that she was the mother. Tho only question was, whe-
ther she had murdered it. Of that the only evidence
was, that she had concealed her pregnancy and thr
birth, and made no preparations for it, and that there
were on the neck of the child two livid marks under the
places where the knots were tied. A medical gentleman,
the only one who had examined the body, swore posi-
tively that in his opinion these- marks were caused by
strangulation; but the case ended in a verdict of Not
Guilty of murder, but Guilty of concealing the birth,
for which she was sentenced to twelve months' im-
prisonment, with hard labour.

MIDLAND CII2GUI F.—Derby, July 24.
(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
Thomas Doxey, 25, a mild and slender man, was
charged with the murder of his father on the 30th of
last December.

Mr. Wilmore and Mr. Dennison prosecuted; Mr. II
Adams defended.

The deceased, Job Doxey, lived with his wife and
family, of whom the prisoner was one, at Glossop, in this
county. He was an old Waterloo-man, a pensioner;
they were in humble circumstances, but industrious. On
the morning of the 31st of December, which happened
to be on Sunday, the body of the deceased was found
under one of the dry arches of a small bridge called
the Victoria-bridge, at the end of the town of Glossop.
His skull was fractured, but it was thought to have been the
result of accident, and the coroner's jury so found. On
Good Friday, however, a man of the name of Clough,
a shoemaker, made the following statement:—" lie
had been to a public-house on the night in question,
and was coming over the Victoria-bridge about eleven
at night, when he saw old Doxey coming along. Ile
was shortly after met by his son and a man whom
Clough thought was a person of the name of Rawson,
whom he had seen before. The prisoner he had known
for three years. Saw the prisoner catch hold of his
father, call him an old rogue, and say he would strike
him, which he did, suddenly. He (the prisoner) knocked
him down, hit him over the head, and the other man
kicked him. Thomas Doxey said, " Let us finish the
old —," and kicked him twice over the breast.
Witness called out " What are you going to do with
the old man?" One of the men said, "If you do not go
away we will serve you the same." Clough then stated
his wife caught hold of him and persuaded him to go
away , but as he was going he turned sharp round, and
saw the two men lifting the old man up to the top of the
battlement of the bridge, and shortly after he heard
something fall; that though he went to a public-house
with his wife again that night, he did not mention what
had occurred, being under fear; that a few weeks
afterwards he met the prisoner and began to address
him, saying " Aye, Tom," upon which the prisoner
immediately said. " If thou mentions what happened on
the bridge, thou shalt be no more, thy life's in danger;"
that he did not mention it until the evening of Good
Friday.

The man's wife corroborated him so far, that she was
on the bridge with him on the night in question, and
heard what she was pleased to call a scrimmage; a shuf-
fling of feet, and heard something fall ; that being fright-
ened she persuaded her husband to go away.
The defence was the improbability of the story; the
fact of there being no cause of quarrel, and none sug-
gested between the prisoner and deceased; and an al►bi
which, though not clearly made out, threw such an air of
doubt about the transaction, as to lead to the Acquittal
of the prisoner.

COMMERCIAL BANK OF LONDON,

On Tuesday the annual general meeting of the share-
holders was held at the Banking-house, Lothbury, Thos.
Barnewall, Esq., in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, before the business of the (lay was
proceeded with, adverted, in eloquent and feeling terms,
to the loss sustained by the bank in the death of the late
chairman, John Taylor, Esq., recently deceased.
The SECRETARY then read the ninth annual state-
ment of the affairs of the Bank, in which the directors
state that after writing off the bad and doubtful debts,
and paying the charges and current expenses of the
past year, the net profits amount to 12,0771. 16i. Id.
Out of these profits a dividend at the rate of six per
cent. per annum for the half-year ending December 31,
1648, has been already paid; and a dividend for the halt-
year ending June 30, 1849, at the same rate, and, as hi-
therto, free from income-tax, becomes payable on the Ist
August. After paying this dividend and deducting the
rebate of interest upon current bills, there will remain a
b..lunce of 2,5961. 17s. ld. to: be added to the reserve
fund, increasing that fund to 20,014/. 19F. 9i. From
the bal,,nce-sheet it appeared that the balance c:lrried
down after deducting bad and doubtful debts, and pay-
ing all charges and current expenses, amounts to
12,0771. 16s. hi., which is disposed of in the following
manner, viz:—

Dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per
annum, for the half-year ending 31st
of December, 1848, already paid £3,848 8 0
Ditto, at ditto, for the half-year ending
30th June, 1849
Rebate of interest on current bills
Balance carried to the Guarantee Fund
making that fund 20,0141. 19s. 93.

.E 12,077 16 1
Mr. MARRIOTT moved that the report be approved
and printed, and circulated among the shareholders, and
on their behalf warmly thanked the directors for the z oil
and efficiency whiLdi they manifi.sted in the management
of the affairs of the bank during a period of great com-
mercial depression and difficulty.
Mr. iiIINTIR seconded the motion, and congratulated
the proprietors on the steady advance which the es-
tablishment had made under the auspices of their present
able board of management.
The report was then adopted.
Wm. I3eresford, Esq., M.P., John A. Chowne, Esq.,
John Savage, Esq., and Joseph Thompson, Esq., the four
directors who retired from office according to rotation,
were unanimously re-elected.

The Chairman declared a dividend of 6 per cent. per
annum, free of income-tax, payable on the Ist of
August.

Votes of thanks were then given to the Secretary and
o the board of directors, and the meeting terminated.

PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETT.—The completion of
the twenty-second year of the existence of this valuable
society was celebrated yesterday evening by an anniver-
sary dinner at the London Tavern. In consecpence of
increasing applications, the number of pensioners has
been raised during the past year from 50, the number
originally contemplated, to 55. An increase of 28/. has
been this year divided among the pensioners, and, to
carry out more fully the objects of the society, it is in-
tended that the pensions shall be still further augmented,
which will add nearly another 100/. a year to the ex-
penses of the society. Last evening the chair was taken
by J. A. Rosbuck, Esq , M.P., who was supported by
Messrs. R. Taylor, Luke James Hansard, J. Hodge, J.
Causton, L. Thompson, and other gentlemen. After
the usual loyal toasts had been drunk, the chairman
proposed, " The Printers' Pension Society," and in doing
so, paid a deserved tribute of praise to a society which
lends support to the declining years of a class of men
who are the immediate agents in the diffusion of know-
ledge and civilization, and who, by the rules of the so-
ciety, are encouraged in a spirit of self-reliance and in-
dependence, as no one is eligible for a printer's pension
who has not been a subscriber to the society for a period
of seven years. The healths of the chairman, Mrit.tee R.
Taylor, the treasurer of the society, and the comm,.
were also drunk. The subscriptions

Messrs. Bathe and Breach. IVe regret to say that the
chairman became so seriously indisposed in the course
of the evening that he was obliged to retire at an early
hour.
