PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY.—On Tuesday evening is
meeting of the committee of management, and others
terested in the welfare of the above society, was held P
the London Tavern, for general business. The 29th aly
nual report stated that the subscribers must not be stir;
prised to find that the society had felt the pressure o'
the times and their events during the past year, part',"
cularly at its commencement, from the war and genet
circumstances of the country. The annual dinner acv
produced 243/. a sum much below the usual average
The annual subscriptions e
have also felt the pressure. tl'
der the pecuniary circumstances, the committee fonna,„l
necessary to draw upon the invested fund for 100/, vi
c'ear the expenditure of the year; that sum is only a pot'
tion of the .terest, which is strictly applicable to tile
current exp-nses of the society, and must not be conl
tiered as so much capital withdrawn, but only so MO,
less invested. The property of the society is now 6,991 b
5 4d. invested with the Commissioners tor the R-dotr
_A
tion of the National Debt, and 754/. 3. 7d. Re
Three Rif. Cents. A fettacy of 50/. has been •• et've fst"d
ex( cutors of the late Mrs. M'Arthur. A new regqirt•
tion has come into operation, by which the widows °I;
pensioners, if 70 years of age, are entitled to a penFi°,,
f 9/. without elect ion, three of whom are now receiving
the benefits thereof. The amount paid to pensioners dot'
ing last year exceeded 6001. The number. of pensionerth
male and female, who have been recipients, inclnditl,
the last election, were 257. The property of the sopiPsJ

APPREHENDED SCICIDE ON THE NORTH KENT RBI
WAY.—The body of a man, apparently about 28 years o
age, was discovered on the North Kent line of railway'
a'e,ut cue mi e oo the London side of the Erith statiao'
at an early hour foaTucsiay morning. The head waslylo%
a few yards from the body, from which it had been se;
parated, as if by the action of the guillotine. The AO
and hands, the trunk, limbs, and feet, were wholly 13.1,55,
injured. The vertebral column protruded at the Dort
a- if the dissection had commenced at its very eumtv:
The countenance was little altered from a natural tv:
p aranee, except from the distortion of the eyes ; tu"
hair is long, and more like that of a woman than a 110. i
The presumption is that the deceased, who has not
been recognised, bad intentionally placed his neck Wei;
the rail on the approach of a train, probably the up flies.,
goods train, and so brought about his own destruct'?"
and this shocking catastrophe. The clothes of the uei
ceased are good and clean,. and exhibit no synrptorns
squalor or poverty. A small sum of money was hurl
in his pocket, but no papers to lead to identification.
