PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY.—A meeting of the
committee of management, and others interested in the sup-
port of the above society, established for the permanent
relief of aged and infirm printers, pressmen, compositors,
and their widows, was held on Wednesday evening, at the
London Tavern, for general business. The report (the 24th
of the society's existence) stated that the result of this long
experience appears to be the, settling down of the society
into a regular and steady course of proceeding highly advan-
tageous. The sum paid to pensioners last year amounted to
565/. 125., and the number who have participated in its
benefits, including the last election, amount collectively to
224 individuals, independent of the " Whittingham pension"
of 71. 12s. per annum, founded with a legacy in 1841 of 2007.,
bequeathed by the late Charles Whittiughatu, Esq. The
funded property at the date of last audit was 5,664/. Bs. 5d.,
producieg a yearly income of 2101. per annum. From the
great amount of good already effected, the committee hope
that by using every effort still further and continually to in-
troduce improvements and energy into its management, such
increased confidence will be from time to time created as to
induce the members to enlarge the amount of their subscrip-
tions, and. to MOW= to add to the number and strength
of their body.
