A rn'en3ure has just been sanctioned (by the Board
of Athniralty, for the benefit of the Fantilies of
this. meritorious class of Oilicers, wh!`clr redounds

so much to the credit -Of the corpS itself witl

tvhich it originated, and to the praise of Govern-
ment, by whom it was very tealonsly 'encouraged,
that we are desirous of making, it gene'rAly known.

In common with the Widows 'Of other Naval
Officers, the Widows of Surge Ons have hitherto
had pr_ntions of 401. per annuni frO'rnrio.verninent.
But tke subordinate and not less useful class of

Assistant Surgeons have had im such prot'ision.
it was therefore df!terinin6l, h nieans of a small

contribution from each member of the corps,

(compulsory on those hereafter 'entering the ser.-
vice, but optional to the present members) to
etablish a Supplemental Fund, in order to grant
additional pensions of 401. a year to the Widows,
and certain other benefits to the Orphans, of such
of the Medical Officers of the Navy, of every de-
scripti )n, as should desire to :Avail themselves of
the rtivileges of this lovitution ; such additional
pension not to be reckoned aa private income, or
as tending to deprive the widow of the King's pen-
sion. Consistently with the present regulations,
therefore, a Medical Officer's Widow may in In-
sure hold the two pensions of 401, each, besides
SOL of private inctime. This Fund has now been
established by H s vat Highness the "SINGE
REG E NT, a copy of whose Order in Council we
subjoin. It is not the least encouraging part of
the .plan, that the management of the Fund is

vested in the F.rst Lord and Secretary of the
Admiralty for the time bring, with a Court of
Directors, composed of the principal Medical Of-

ficers.

On Monday, the first meeting of Directors was
bolo at the Admiralty-Office, under the presidency
of `.j. W. CROKeR, Eq. when Mr. Fitst4Anotst,
one of the Senior Clerks of the Admiralty, by
'%hose active exertions the plan had been greatly
protnoted, and by whom the regulations of the
Fund and the several calculations had been formed,
was unanimously elec►ed Secretary of the Society.
Messrs. Manor, of Great George-street, %Vest-

tniustee; %vele at the same time elected Treasurers.

At the Court at Carlton House, the 13th of A ogost, 1917.
Present—His Royal Highness the PRINCE REuevr, in Council.
IViirreas there was this day read at the Board a Memorial
from the I i ht Honourable the Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty, dated the. Ist of this Instant, in the words fol-

NOTTI.NGRANI PITT CLUB —The Anniversary
of this Cli.h te.,:s held on Wednesday last. In the
absence of the Duke• of NEWCASTLB, irolll lament-
ed indisposition, LEE IS ALLSOPP, Esq. presided.

ROBBERY AT BURLINGTON-HOUSIL-Yrsterday,
about 2 o'clock,. some thieves had the audacity to
enter by the gate at Burlingtopi-house, and during
the temporary absence of the person %vho had the
care of the store-room, they entrted it, and stole
every thing valuable, .which they succeeded in
carrying off.

The circumstance of a number being drawn a
20,0001 Pi ize, aft. r it had been previously drawn
4 Blank, has created a great interest concerning
the. present Lottery, as it is to be drawn on the
same plon as the one in which the event above
alluded to occurred ;—the number was 4.367,
drawn the 9'h of July last a Blank. and re-cirawn
on the 19;11 of the same month a 20,0001 Prizr,
and shared by BIS.II into Sixteen Sixteenth Shares.
it is mare than proh.dile that some of the num-
bers drawn Blanks Nax-r FRIDAY will afterward,
be Capitals, and Bistes Offices, from having in
almost every Lottery for many years past sold
rnore Capitals than any other, are expected to
tell the greater part, if not all, the Six 20,0001.
Prizes in the Lottery which begins Nazi' FRIDAY.
