LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM.

The thirty-second anniversary of this institution
was celebrated yesterday at the Crystal Palace,
Sydenham, James Watney, jun., Esq., in the chair.
About 1,400 gentleman sat down to the dinner,
which was amply provided by Mr. Strange.
The grace having been sung, the CHAIRMAN, on
rising to propose the usual loyal toasts, was received
with vehement cheering. He took occasion to ad-
vert to the fact that the Prince Consort had always
shown himself to be the patron of the arts, and that
to him they were indebted for meeting under the
roof of the Crystal Palace. Moreover, his Royal
Highness had laid the foundation stone of the
Albert and Ladies' wing of the almshouses. The
toast of " The Army and Navy" followed.
The Rev. Mr. MARTIN then read the report of
the committee, which was of a most satisfactory
character, and alluded to the generous subscriptions
of the firms of Messrs. Watney and Elliott. It ap-
peared that the sum of £20,000 was required to
effect the especial endowment of the asylum. There
were many in the trade who were in a position to
subscribe who had never contributed one farthing
to this fund, and as the prosperity of the society
depended in a great measure upon the annual fes-
tival the committee urged the necessity of liberal
contributions.
Mr. IMRIE read the first list of subscriptions,
which was headed by that of the chairman and his
friends, amounting to .£594 145., the chairman hay-
ing contributed 100 guineas.
The CHAIRMAN proposed the toast of the even-
ing. The- asylum was founded in 1826, and in.
1827 the committee were enabled to purchase a plat
of ground. The foundation-stone was laid by the
Mike of Sussex in 1828, and he remained the
patron to the time of his death in 1843. The
building was completed, and 103 dwellings were
raised. The Prince Consort consented to honour
the institution by becoming its patron, and the

Mr. THOMAS WHALEY, t c
he hairan of the
board of management, proposed " Them Health of
the Chairman,' who responded in most courteous
terms.
The subscriptions and donations amounted to
nearly £4,000, among which was a list presented
unsolicited by Mr. Strange, of the Crystal Palace,
amounting to 105 guineas. (Loud applause.)
The remaining toasts, which were very nume-
rous, were of a complimentary character. The
musical arrangements were under the direction of
Mr. George Genge, assisted by Miss Medora Col-
lins, Miss Ellen Lyon, Mr. J. Howe, Mr. George
Tedder, Mr. Burgess, and Mr. Ford. Mr. Toole
was the toastmaster. _ _

Before the company separated, the CHAIRMAN
proposed " the Health of Mr. Strange," who had so
liberally provided for so large a company ; to
which Mr. Strange responded in very appropriate
terms.

[ADVERTISEMEYT.]—HOHONVEty'S Ointment and Pills.
—Limbs Saved.—Nothing can be more gratifying than the
numerous testimonials voluntarily sent to Professor Hol-
loway recounting the extraordinary cure of wounds, sores,
and,ulcers,effectedby his ointment and pills. John Thomas,
far advanced in years, residing at Peinmainbank, Conway,
suffered severely from a bad leg, which for years :resisted
the treatment of the most skilful surgeons, who ultimately
recommended amputation of the limb. He was, however,
persuaded to try Holloway's remedies, which effected a
complete cure, affording ease shortly after their first em-
ployment. In glandular and white swellings, t culwY awl
all skin diseases these noble remedies may be relied upon.,
They cure the particular local ailment by clewing mid,
regulating the whole system.
