EWSPA PER PRESS BENRYO-
- T ASSOCIATION.

The fourth anniversary dinner of this valuable institution
took !lice 011 Saturday evening at the London Tavern. The
great roam was well filled upon the occasion, and the presence
of I..dies at the table gave a brilliancy to the scene which se-
dum adorns similar meetings. About lon l ersons dined. Vit.
count Sane-ton took the chair shortly before seven o'clock.
'the Moth .having been removed and " Benedictus" sung,
the Chair Man proposed in succession the usual loyal toasts,
which were responded to with the utmost enthusiasm,
. The CHAIRMAN, in giving " Tee Army and Navy," said
that their Noble Chairman last year had said, in giving that
toast, that he trusted it might be long before the services of the
army and navy would he again required. He little anticipated
that within a few months they woull be again called in, o ac-
tion ; but they had bout called into action upon the scene of
their former exertions, and they had not been found wanting
in the maintenance of their own and the national glory , for.
'tress after fortress had fallen at their approach, and their suc-
cess had been most complete.(Loud •chtiers.) Still he
trusted that It would be long before they had again to exult in
such triumphs, for they were triumphs invariably
attended
with great hardship and misery.—( Cheers. )
Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE returned thanks.
" Rule Britannia.". The solo parts by Mr. T. Cooke, Mr.
Hobbs, and Mr. Horneastle.
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, " Prosperity
to the Newspaper Press Benevolent Association," said he now
came to the toast peculiar to the occasion. He wished that he
posse, sed some of that distinguished eloquence which on a
former occasion had enlightened and adorned the subject which
he had now to treat ; but as every age could not have two
such men as Lord Brougham and Lord LytitiLurst, so it was
nut given to one Association to have its festival graced year
after year by such eloquence.—(Cheers.) The subject, in-
deed, scarcely needed it. How much of their daily ree.rea'ion
and information came from a newspaper It was tile medium
of civilization in modern times—it was the great corrector of
the public morals—(Cheers)—the great organ of public opi-
nions. Without that mechanic aid which enabled them to
distribute information in a very short tine over the whole
world, the art of pr•nling would have done but half its work;
it would have slept in the closet for the benefit of the learned,
and would have been prodnetive of little or no advantage to
the people at large.—( Cheers.) He need not urge further
the claims of those who had the laborious task of furnishing
that daily amount of amusement and information, of all la-
bour intellectual labour was that whieh most exhausted the
men who were engaged in it ; and when they thought of the
midnight toil, of the journeys by sea and land, of the ability,
readiness, and industry required fur the instant production of
that which will interest and entertain from hour to hour, it
must be acknowledged that of all literary men those engaged
in furnishing the food of the daily press were the most de-
serving of sympathy and support.—( Cheers.) He concluded
by saying that as the ipress had given them much, he hoped
they would in return contribute liberally to the funds of this
Institution. —(Cheers. )
The toast was received with great warmth and enthusiam.
' Dr. SHERIDAN, the Chairman of the Directors, in return-
ing thanks on behalf of the .Issociation, said that the cause
which he advocated would compensate for hit deficency ; for
it was the cause of pure and unalloyed benevolence, which never
needed any eloquent or elaborate recommendation to elicit
British sympathy. It was essential to the character of this In-
stitution that it should be recognised as one of a purely chasi
table na•ure ; he could state positively that no one of its mem-,
hers had joined the Association with a view to derive benefit
from it himself—(Cheers)—and if it should in any care beano*,
necessary, the consciousness of hay rig contributed to the fund
would diminish the rain of receiving pecuniary assistance. It
had been said that they ought to depend entirely upon their
own resources; but their numbers wee not sufficient toenable
them to provide for those who might fall into decay without
! public aid, and in receiving that aid they only iniiiatell the he-
nourable exami,l, of the officers of h, r .Majesty's army and navy,
whose excellent institution—the Untied ':service Benevident In-
stitution—did not hesitate to receive public aid.—(Cheers.)
Hitherto no member had applied for teli.f, but death had been
busy with them, and fortunately they had found the means of
affording some relief and assistance to the mother and children
deprived of their nattn al protector in more than two cases.
Was it not, he asked, emphatically more commendabie to as-
sociate together for the relief of Oistressed members accepting
the public aid, than to leave the unfortunate amongst them de-
pendeet on casual relief, or perchance to perish in the streets ?
He put that question emphatically to those who had hitherto
refrained from joining the association. .Many who rote to ele-
vated stations from the press were afterwards ashamed of the
connection ; the press had many ungrateful offspring ; he trusted
that he should never be one. He rejoiced that each of their
anniversary festivals had exhibited the aristocracy of rank
uniting with that aristocracy of mind which was confined to
no rank or station.

After " The Health of the Chairman," which was proposed
by Mr. Heppel, and that of the American Minister by the
Chairman, had been duly honoured, the Secretary lead a letter
from Mr. Stevenson, apologising for his absence.
" The Vice-Presidents and Donors," " Viscountess San-
don and the Ladies," and several other toa,ts of a similar cha-
racter were drunk hefnre the Chairman left the chair.

We must not omit to notice the readiness of the memberscf
the musical profpasion to contribute to the entertainment, nor
the excellence of the fare which they provided. Aliss Birch

Ii viting," Miss M. B. Hawes " I'll speak of thee," encored ;

ceased on Sunday evening as far as Battersea-bridge.; on their
return, at deceased's solicitation, witness allowed him to row,
but in a short time advanced toe ards him fur the purpose of
taking the sculls again, when the deceased, by ris.o.g too
hastily, ueset the brat, and they were both immersed

there saw the deceased, who had also escaped.

stopped to pick up two hats and coats which were floating, and
it was with great difficulty he prevailed on them to look for
deceased. John Lynch, a wcternian, stated that he found
the body off Bi!lingsgate, on Thursday, and while towing it
ashore,a boy who was with him searched the deceased's pockets
and took from them Lour shillings and a watch ; witness took
charge of the propinly, and give it to Mr. Jenkins. Mr. Thos.
Farrer, father of the deceased, said he bad at least seven pounds
in his pocket at the time of the accident, and it was absurd to
sunose that the O.! alone hail fallen out ; he would not pay
the retvard for finding the body until the money was produced,
ail he would moreover prefer a Charge°, robbery ag,inst the
persons ,uspec,ed. The Coroner advise d such a course. Ver-
