their pardon for it. He had come amongst them—he v
had . been received with the utmost kindness, and •he
could only again assure them that he should feel bound
to the end of his life to endeavour to do everthing in his
power to promote their welfare and prosperity.—
(Cheers) The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to bear
testimony to the excellent manner in which the mayor
and corporation of Sunderland discharged their duties,
and concluded by moving " The Mayor and Corpora-
tion of Sunderland" amidst loud cheers.
the MAYOR briefly returned thanks, and expressed
his conviction that the inhabitants of the town were
under the deepest obligations to Mr. Hudson, as with-
out his patronage sad exertions it would have been im-
posible to have secured the construction of the docks.
A variety of other appropriate toasts were then drunk,
and the company did not separate until past four o'clock;
after which about 500 of the workmen were regaled
with a substantial dinner, at the expense of the directors.
In the evening there was a ball at the Athenmum
Rooms, which was very numerously and respectably at-
tended; and the Hendon Gardens and other popular
places of amusement put forth a host of attractions for
the gratification of their patrons.

The musical arraleennents under the direction of Mr. Hobbs, as-
sisted by the first talent of the day.
Ia addition to the system of granting annuity, it is proposed (as
soon as a sufficient sum can be collected for that purpose) to build
an asylum a short distance from London for the aged annuitants.
The generous assistance of the benevolent is earnestly solicited to-
wards this object, the Christian propriety of which it is impossible to
doubt. Aged persons of respectability with small annuities are evi-
dently unable to procure for themselves lodgings at all partaking of
the Same character for comfort as their former abodes. In the case
of females whose fortunes have fallen into decay, there can be no
doubt that this is an intense aggravation of their misfortunes, for a
mean lodging in a low neighbourhood, with all its associations of
missry, if not of crime (as must too often be the case), will indeed
form a heavy source of painful degradation to one whose former lot
has been ',cast in the pleasant places." What can be more desir-
able, then, than to place such persons in comfortable and respectable
dwellings, Nebel e the decencies and proprieties of life can be pro-
perly maintained, and the old age of the inmates preserved from all
these eisagreeable eirounstauces to which we have adverted? It
has been considered that tlie full intention of the Society has scarcely
been produced until this last object has been accomplished.
Dbnors of 51. of upwards to the Building Fund are entitled to the
privileges of Lite Governors, with twe votes at every election, and
for every additional 51. they may procure, so that ladies or gentle-
men collecting 51. or upwards for the Buildigg Fund are entitled to
the same privileges pro rata.
Persons collecting 501. or upwards for the Building Fund, er ob-
taining Ten Lie Governors to this
,Institution, shall, for every such
501., be constituted Life Governors, in addition to those benevolent
persons who may be thus constituted by their respective donations.
Contributors to the Building Fund are placed precisely in the same
position as other Governors and subscribers.
Contributions isit aid of this important national object will be most
thankfully received by the following bankers :-
