LICENSED VICTUALLERS'
SCHOOL, KENNINGTON-LANE, LAMBETH,

The Fortieth Anniversary Dinner of the friends and
patrons of this institution was held yesterday, at the
White Conduit Tavern, Pentonville. The Right Hon.
the Lord Mayor presided.
The cloth having been removed, the " Non Nobis "
was sung.

. The Bight Hon. the LORD MAYOR proposed the first
toast, which was one which he said he needed but to
state to ensure the most cordial reception ; it was the
health of her Majesty Queen Victoria, the patroness of
the institution. The toast was drunk with the usual
honours.

The next toasts were " The Queen Dowager," " Prince
Albert, the patron of the institution," " The Prince of
Wales, the vice patron of the institution," "The Princess
Royal, and the other branches of the Royal Family,"
" The Army and Navy."
The children of the school, boarded, clothed, and
lodged by this institution, were then introduced to the
company.
The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR then proposed the
next toast. He said—Ladies and Gentlemen—l am
satisfied that you are all acquainted with the objects for
which we have met together this day, and seeing the
interesting sight which we have before us in the youths
of those whom you have thought fit to introduce into
thiS establishment, I um convinced- that you have met
upon this occasion to promote the object of this school,
which I must say is one of the greatest importance in
this large metropolis. It is a school managed, I must
say, with the smallest amount of funds of any of such
noble institutions in the country. And when I say so,
I do not say so without having made the most minute
and particular inquiries into the circumstances of this
school, and the mode upon which it is conducted, but I
do say so from information which I have myself received.
Before I came to the chair to-day I found this to be the
case, and I find that every year it is going on with
still greater economy of management, and with greater
benefit to those whom you have sent to this institution.
—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I congratulate this noble as-
semblage brought here to day on the objects and designs
of this Institution, which is to have these children
brought up in the way they are, and put out to an honest
and industrious means of obtaining their livelihood. It
is also worthy of this assembly to know what are the
means by which this Institution is supported. When I
come to look over the large amount raised by the in-
fluential persons connected with this Society, I think it
would be perfectly astonishing to a foreigner, were he
to be told of the amount. I think he could not believe
such enormous sums could be collected together. When
I read at page 120 of your report, I find that the
amount, enormous as it is, is stated to be " for weekly al-
lowances," 132,2461. 19s. Bd.—(Loud cheers.) Gentle-
men, what would that noble-minded foreigner, in whose
company I was yesterday, say to this sum, if
he were here at the present time ?—(Hear,
hear.) He is ono of those inquiring minds, who
would not rest till he had made himself acquainted with
the foundation of the institution. His object in making
these inquiries is for the good of his country and his
people.— (Cheers.) Gentlemen, when I look at this
report, I find the subscriptions to amount to the enorm-
ous sum of 130,6401 7s. sd. When you see the good
works you have already accomplished by the esta-
blishment of these schools, you will not, I am sure,
refuse your assistance to support them. There is
only one thing which I can comment upon
with anything like feelings of lamentation, that is, that
your schools are capable of affording accommodation to
100 children more than you now have, but that the funds
will not admit of that increase. You are met here
to-night for the purpose of hearing these statements,
and you will, I am sure, be ready to do your utmost to
make up this deficiency. There is one further sum, and
rather an important item in the account, which comes
under the designation of " Charity-box subscriptions."
This amount is derived from persons whose names are
not known—who do not participate in the benefits de-
rived from these schools. I see the sum of 4,3071 4s. 6d.
placed to this account. When I consider that that sum
is made up from small contributions from persons who
are not inclined to make their names known, I must say
that those are persons whom I most admire.(Cheers.)
I will now speak of the total amount of the funds
raised last year, which I find to be 250,5961. 11s. Id.
When will you find an institution of this kind supported
with the same degree of liberality—a school supported
by those whom I know take a deep interest in the school
designated the Licensed Victuallers' School ?—(Loud
cheers.) An institution supported by an excellent and
gracious Queen. She gives us encouragement to sup
port it, and when she finds that you will put your
hands into your pockets to support it, she will, I am
sure, be ready to assist you when called upon to do so.
Gentlemen, I am satisfied you will hear from the children
of these schools to-day that which will delight your ear,
and which I am sure you will wish to hear ; and while
you may be gratifiel with the scene you have witnessed
to-day, I can assure you that no person will be more
gratified than myself.—(Cheers.) It is true that I was
called upon at a late period ; but when I found that
your excellent friend Sir Felix Booth, who takes so
much interest in the proceedings of this Society, was
prevented, by illness, from attending, I at once responded
to the call of your Committee to take the chair, however
feebly it may have been sustained.—(Loud cheers.)
Gentlemen, I have witnessed many scenes during my
year of office, but I have not yet witnessed any scene
which has gratified me like this, or one that has given
me greater satisfaction. I recollect contributing to the
Society at a former period, and I shall be happy to lend
you my aid at any time you may think fit to call upon
me for that purpose. Gentlemen, lam satisfied that the
toast which is now put into my hand, will be received by
you with the greatest enthusiasm. It is "Prosperity to
the Licensed Victuallers' School, and may it prosper and
flourish for ever."

The toast having been most cordially responded to,
an address was delivered by one of the boys of the
school, a hymn was also sung by the children belonging
to the institution.

D. W. WIRE, Esq., then rose to propose a toast, with
which he was entrusted by the Committee. It was the
health of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, who, at a
short notice, had condescended to take the chair at this
magnificent meeting. "How," said the Hon. Gentleman,
"he has acquitted himself you all can bear testimony, for
it has been in a manner which few could have done with
large study and much preparation.—(Cheerz.) But I
know his Lordship well; and when the heart is right
the mouth will speak; an I know that, during his year
of office, the whole of his time has been taken up in
promoting works of charity, and he could not, there-
fore, refuse the request of your committee to be present
at this meeting. I am sure, that if there is any point
in which his Lordship will be distinguished above his
predecessors, it will be that there has not been a single
charity which he has not either supported himself or
cheered by his presence.—(Cheers.) It is his great
honour, not that he holds the highest munici-
pal situation in this country, but that his band
has ever been open, and his heart has been
enlarged in advocating the cause of universal
charity.—(Cheers.) And I am sure that when he comes
to part from his office, and lay down the poinp, and
state, and ceremony by which he is surrounded, it will
be with the grateful recollections, which will serve to
cheer him in after life, that he held his office, not
for the purpose of self aggrandisement, but for
the purpose of alleviating the miseries, of ad-
vocating the rights, of protecting the lierbties, and
advancing the cause of charity, and doing good to man-
kind. I shall conclude with proposing the health of the
Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, and thanking him at the
same • time for his kindness in attending this
meeting, and for the ability which he has:displayed,
and for his munificence to this charity, of which you
will hear hereafter. I hope also that the ladies present
will join in that toast, and show, by their approval,
that such conduct is deserving of their smiles."

The health was then disposed of with the customary
honours.

The LORD MAYOR returned thanks for the very hand-
some manner in which they had drank his health, and
took occasion to state that the Secretary had informed
him that there were upwards of 2,000 persons present,
and that considerably more than 2,0001. had been re-
ceived towards the funds of the institution that day.
He was sorry that he was compelled to leave them at so
early a period ; he had, however, an engagement of long
standing, which it was necessary for h.on to attend to.
In leaving, he would give theM his most sincere thanks
for the manner in which they had drank his health, and
wished them many happy returns of their festive scene.
The chair was then taken by Mr. Williams, the Go-
vernor of the institution.

The SECRETARY read the report. Among the sub-
subscribersßoyal Highness the

and drunk, and the company separated.
The musical entertainments were under the direction
of Mr. Moody; the duties of toastmaster were performed
by
proprietor of the White Conduit Tavern.
Upon the grounds belonging to the tavern several
large banners were floating, on which were inscribed
" Prosperity to the Licensed Victuallers' School," and

T ATCHPOLE. BY THE
R
fourth edition of this remarkable
work .OF MARGARET a
complete in one volume. The story
of Margaret Catchpole is one of so extraordinary and ro-
mantic a character, that the reader will almost consider it as
an improbability instead of a reality. But truth is stranger
than fiction, and of this fact the career of Margaret Catch-
pole
woniteh
of
the most striking,
tilie
the most pleasing, as well as interesting and instructive,
emphaticimp
examples. The volume before us narrates the whole of her
adventures affords
simplicity and in its close, one of
graphic truth.
Throughout may be traced an inherent love of truth and
ords
singleness of purpose—together with a natural abhorrence of
every mean or sordid vice—which form the real link of sym-
pathy, and render Margaret's fortunes interesting to all
classes of readers. Mr. Cobbold has done his romantic sub-
ject ample justice, and produced one of the most truly inte-
resting biographies in the language. The work is deserving.
of a wide circulation, and will assuredly take a permanent
place in the libraries of the people,--Elinbzugli Evening Post.
