HULL, APRIL 24

STOCK EXCHANGE.—A meeting of the London and York proprietary
was convened for this day by an anonymous advertisement, supposed
to emanate from parties anxious to promote the views of the Sise-
lane Committee ; it, however, proved an abortion, so few persons
attending that it was deemed unnecessary to call any one to the
chair. Although the Stock Exchonge was appointed as the place of
meeting, the brokers had nothing to do either in calling or promoting
the meeting. Busin,ss has been slack to-day, holders of scrip de-
mquding higher prices than the probable return of deposit. The

THE JOB AND POST-MASTERS'

PROVIDENT FUND.

The third anniversary dinner of the above institution took
place on Friday, April 24, at the London Tavern, Bishops-
gate-street. Sir J. Trollope, Bart., M.P., presided on the
occasion.
Upwards of 300 gentlemen, members cf the above society,
sat down to the dinner, which was served up in the well-
known and justly celebrated style of Messrs. Bathe and
Breach. The. whole of the arrangements were excellently
conducted, and Mr. Toastmaster Toole performed the functions
of his office with his usual ability.
The Chair, was supported on his right by his Grace the
Duke of Richmond ; on the left by Sir W. Buckley. Among
the numerous names of the subscribers read to the meeting,
we noticed those of his Grace the Duke of Richmond, 25/. ;
the Earl of Chesterfield, 20 guineas; Lord Rosslyn (a second
donation), Si. ; Lord Marcus Hill, 2 guineas ,• Mr. Sheriff
Chaplin, 5/. ; Count Bathyany, Si. ; Mr. David Saloman, 5/. ;
Sir J. Trollope, Bart. (second donation), 101.; T.Gullan, Esq.,
20 guineas; J. Shaw, Esq., 2 guineas.
Upon the cloth -being removed, the "Non Noble' was
sung in good style by Messrs, Genge, Kenny, and Smith.
The usual toasts having been disposed of,
The CHAIRMAN proposed " Prosperity to the Fund, ani
may it flourish for ever." In proposing this toast, he took
occasion to press upon the gentlemen present the necessity
of contributing to the funds of the institution, in order to
advance its interests. He stated that the higher classes
would always be found ready to assist the interests of the
society. If the case of the society was laid before them he
felt convinced that they would be found among its most
liberal supporters. _ _

The CHAIRMAN then proposed the toast of" Our Noble Pres'
dent, his Grace the Duke of Richmond." _upon Enid, 10:
toast, he remarked it was quite unnecessary for him
to say a word for the purpose of recommending it to
their notice. It was sufficient for him to say that their
Noble President was always ready with open hand to sup-
port charities of any kind.—(Cheers.) There was no limit
to his benevolence.—(Renewed cheers.) He hoped that the
toast would be drank with' unbounded applause, and with
that affection which the Noble Duke deserved at their hands.

The Duke of RICHMOND, in returning thank., said—l rise,
as the president of this society, to return you my best and
most grateful thanks for the very flattering manner in which
you have received the toast which has been proposed to you,
and from the encomiums which your worthy chairman has
heaped upon me I am not surprised at the manner in which
the toast has been received. I cannot, however, claim for
myself any merit for what I have done to advance the in-
terests of the society. I feel it to be a duty—a paramount
duty—in the situation in which Providence has placed me,
to do my utmost (however humble and feeble) which may
conduce to the welfare of any class of the people of this
country. In such a country as this persons were always ex-
posed to fluctuations, the season of prosperity could not al-
ways be depended upon. There was no gentleman present
who was not exposed to these fluctuations. All classes in
the country were liable to the changes attendant upon the
rising or falling of trades and professions, from circumstances
over which they had no control. But I will not ask any
man, be he a husband or a father, whether he does not, or
will not, feel, when he comes to be placed in that situation,
when lie cannot fail to see that he is about shortly to quit
this earth, whether it will not be a satisfaction to him to
know that those whom he has left behind, and whom he has
most esteemed and cherished on earth, will not be driven,
when he is taken from them, to seek relief in the union
workhouse. Ido not call such a course of action as would
ensure these results " charity," it is an insurance which has
been made in prosperous days against the time of adversity.
and by so doing it will be found that the dying pillow will be
softened by the recollection that his widow and his children
will be provided for from that fund to which he has sub-
scribed.—(Loud cheers.) I feel it to be a great blessing in
this great, free, and independent country, that there are so
many institutions similar to the present one.—(Cheers.) I
was requested by my esteemed friend, Mr. Tattersal, to accept
the presidency of this institution. I acceded to his request,
because I knew that he would not belong to any institution
except the funds of that institution were well and perfectly
carried out according to the plans of the society.—(llear,
hear.) I claim no merit for my connexion with the present
institution. I have accepted the office of president solely
with a view to do good, not as a sinecure, and to the utmost
of my powers, support an institution which I cannot
look upon in any other light than a purely national institu-
tion.—(Loud cheers.) And in my capacity as president I
hope often to have the pleasure of meeting you here.
Sir R. W. BUCKLEY proposed the next toast, which was
" The Hon. P. S. Pierrepont, and the other vice-presidents,
patrons, and benefactors to the fund."
The Hon. P. S. PIELREPONT returned thanks.
B. PEAnsx, Esq., then proposed " The Treasurer, Mr.
Tattersal," who returned thanks in a highly amusing speech.
" The Directors of the Institution," was then proposed by
F. SALMON, Esq., for which E. TATTERSAL, Esq., returned
thanks.

.The Hon. Mr. PIERREPONT then gave the health of the
new Secretary, whom he said he had known twenty•five
years and upwards, and who, on his (bin Pierrepont's)
nomination, had been appointed to the office, and he could
conscientiously say of him, that if he went on for the next
twenty-five years as satisfactorily as he had done the pre-
vious, he would do credit to himself and be of great service
to the institution.

Mr. CLARK rose and said, that for the kind manner in
which his health, as the newly-appointed Secretary, had
been introduced to their notice by the noble founder, and
so warmly responded to, he begged to return his sincere
thanks. That he could assure thcm his best endeavours
should never be found wanting to promote the interests of
the fund, and that at.the termination of his services, when-
ever that might be, he hoped to receive the same feeling of
satisfaction that had this day been expressed of him by his
noble proposer and founder of the institution.
The report was then read by the Secretary, and the com-
pany separated.
The subscriptions amounted to about 7001.
During the evening the company were enlivened by some
amusing comic songs, excellently sung by Mr. Moody. A
young tenor named Genge also sang some solos very sweetly.

PEDESTRIANISM.
BRIAN AND WARD'S WALKING MATcH.—Tbe ten mile
match, for 101. aside, between these bantem pedestrians,
came off at Bedford on the 21st, according to articles. Ward
went off with the start of one minute, as agreed upon, but it
was soon pretty evident that he would not be able to keep
any portion of it. No sooner did " little Jemmy" approach
him, than Ward abandoned the fair toe and heel 'style, and
betook himself to an ambling trot, that if not positive sun-
ning was so like it as to have lost all the recognised character-
istics of walking. The referee accordingly called upon him
to turn, which he did several times, but again betook himself
to the objectionable style of going in every spurt. , Finally,
the referee gave it decisively in favour of Brian at the eighth
mile—Ward " trotting" in in 1 h. 30 in. 33 secs., and the
winner nearly 30 seconds after him.
