LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM.

(Froth the Morning Advertiser.)

Yesterday took place the second excursion to the
Nore,. within two, years, of the Members of the
trade of Licensed Victuallers, in the Metropolis and
its suburbs, in aid of the Institution, established by
themselVes for the shelter and reception of the aged
and widowed Members of the trade, under the above
most appropriate denomination.
At eight ,o'clock in the morning, .above 300 o f
the most opulent Licensed Victuallers and their
families were on board. As the Venus moved down
the River, she was repeatedly obliged-to " haul to,"
because boat-loads of company, of, the most respect-
able description, tendered their tickets, and were
received on board.

About one in the day, the weather, which had
been threatening from the northward by east, lower-.
ed—heavy falls of rain descended—and the com-
pany were therefore obliged to make a temporary
retreat into the cabin.

When they were re-assembled upon the deck,
during the brief interval of the cessation of the rain,
Mr. GILL, Secretary to the Asylum, suggested a
trifling contribution by way of collection towards
the funds. •

The hint was unnecessary, as, in less than one
hour, 701. was subscribed; and the general cheer-
ing acknowledgment of each donation was the toast
" Success to the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum."
In the 'afternoon, when the yacht was passing
round the fleet in ordinary, in theMedway, the com-
pany, not heeding the weather, stood forward, and
joined in.the National Anthein, and RuleAritannia.
In this way was the fore-part of the day past, and
when the heaviness of the weather at one period
caused a retreat to the awning, a vocal concert was
raised, in which the loyalty of the Licensed. Vic-
tuallers, " the best subjects of the King," was again
4isrilayed; by Mr. Wilson, of the Bull, 'Camberwell,
Being called upon for " God save the King," which
composition this gentleman sang with great, effect
and spirit.
L.. Mr. Druce, of the Feathers, Waterloo-bridge,
wainext called upon, and he sang, with an univer-
sal chorus, " The King, God bless him." The
bands, for an hour or two after, performed a variety
of the most popular music.
The company- having dined, assembled again
upon the aft deck of the ship, and in answer to a
general call,
kr. DRIEST, - Chairman of the Licensed Vic-
tuallers' Society, ascended an elevated- portion of
the deck to address - the company. lie begged to
propose '" The healths of the President, Vice-Pre,
sidents, Governors, and Committee of the Licensed
Victuallers' Asylum," and he' required them to ac-
knowledge it with three cheers. (Cries of Bravo.)
When it had subsided,
