NEWSVENDORS' ANNUAL DlNNER.—Yesterdfiy the
annual dinner provided ly the proprietors of the metropo-
litan press, for newsvendors and their families, and servants
actually engaged in the sale and distribution of newspapers,
took place at Highbury Barn Tavern. Notwithstanding
that the weather was most unfavourable, a lare number of
the trade had assembled by mid-day, but the co, tinued and
drenching lain prevented them taking that healthy recrea-
tion in the extensive grounds which they were wont to do.
From the very great precautions taken by the stewards in
issuing the tickets this year, the company was much more
select than at previous dinners, as, from the facility with
which they were heretofore procured, great numbers who
were not engaged in the business obtained admission surrep•
ritiously. Soon after one o'clock the boys, numbering nearly
300, employed in the trade, sat down to a plentiful and most
substantial dinner, consisting of roast and boiled meat of every
description, a large supply of vegetables, and a profusion
of pastry; in audition, each boy was presented with a ticket,
value threepence, for which fruit or other refreshments could
be ob'ained. At half-past six o'clock ad
dsu id superb
pdlein ner,
served in Mr. Hinton's usual style, was served, when 400
men, their wives and families, sat down, an
jus-
tice to the superabundant viands. The arrangements were
under the- immediate superintendence of Messrs. Spilling,
Walter, Fielding, Alley, and Browne. After the cloth was
removed, the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given and
responded to, and "The Metropolitan Press " was drunk
with all the honours. The company then retired to amuse
themselves as they best could, the uncovered portion of the
gardens being completely saturated with the heavy rain
which had fallen almost incessantly during the day. At nine
o'clock they were summoned to the ball-room, where an effi-
cient baud was in attendance, and dancing was kept up with
much spirit until a late hour, when the company separated,
highly gratified with the day's amusement.
[ A DVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills have cured
Indigestion and Complaints of the Stomach.—The symptom.
arising from dyspepsia and disordered stomachs are spume,
flatulent and acid eructations, langotir, want of appetite, dis-
tension of the stomach, flushed countenance, sense of oppres-
sion and sinking after meals, dejection of the spirits, defective
circulation of the blood, a'so frequent pains in the head and
breast. To remove these unpleasant sensations it is only neces-
sary to take a few doses of Holloway's Pills. This inestimable
medicine will soon palliate the most urgent symptoms, restore
the fond of the stomach, and prevent a recurrence of the dis-
ease.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's
Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
SMITHFIELD MAHlLHT.—Yesterday the Committee
of the House of Lords formally declared "the preamble
proved" of the Bill for the abolition of Smithfield-market
adding thereto various important clauses to the effect, that
unless the proposed new market in the suburbs in substitution
of Smithfield be opened within three years after the passing
of the Act—so much of the Act as provide that Smithfield-
market shall cease to be a market, shall from and after the
expiration of the three years cease to be void—the corpora-
tion to receive fair and reasonable compensation for th
injury they may sustain by the opening of the new market
to be determined by arbitration or a jury, on the net
average amount of tolls which shall have been received by
the corporation during a period of five years, the compensa-
tion to be a permanent annual charge on the new market.
The clause giving the corporation the power to carry out the
Act, agreed to in the Commons, does not appear to have been
adopted in the Lords, who have very materially altered the
Bill as it came from the Commons.

The Earl of Derby, in answer to inquiries,
yesterday, at his Lordship's mansion in St. James's-square,
was stated to be still indisposed, arising from an attack of
gout. The Noble Earl has been invited by the Duke and
Duchess of Richmond to pass the race week at Goodwood
Park; but we learn with regret that his Lordship,
owing to indisposition and the recent death of his
noble father, will not be a guest of the Noble Duke's
this year.

ST. STEPHEN'S, WALBROOK._By the liberality of
the Grocers' Company, this beautiful structure is to be fur-
ther adorned by a magnificent stained-glass window. The
company have decided on the design for the window. The
centre compartment will present the stoning and enthroniza-
tion of St. Stephen, supported on each side by the Four
Evangelists, and surmounted by the Ascension. The
parishioners are about to exert themselves with a view of
raising sufficient means to introduce stained windows at the
end of the side naves.
