BRITISH PHILANTHROPIC P,EN-

SION SOCIE FY. TESTIMONIAL TO MRI
PHILIP LEWIS.
A party of the leading gentlemen of this prosperous an
excellent institution dined together on Thursdaynight, at Mr...
J. Titchiner's, the Britannia Tavern, Bishopsgate-street With
out. They had assembled for the purpose of presenting
their late treasurer, Mr. Lewis, with a mark of their
esteem for the generous and kind manner in which he had
discharged his duties in that capacity. The excellent din-
ner which their host had provided, was sufficient in Itself to
account for the good-humour which prevailed throughout rho ;
evening; but it is only reasonable and just to assign tor i t a far
nobler cause, arising from the intense satisfaction always in-
separable from benevolent actions. Few societies which have
commenced on equally small beginnings, and have derived
strength from the same number of years, can boast so
proud a title to the respect of the country. It was
established in the year 1838, for the purpose of affording
relief to the infi-m and needy. Within the space of five'
years twelve pensioners were on their books, and at the end.
of that time their subscriptions had so far increased as toe
enable them to allow ss. a week instead of 2s. Where could.
the philanthropist look for stronger encouragement, or for
more judicious i• struction in the direction of his energies?
Societies of this description always formed a prominent trait
in our national characteristics; they remove an astounding
mass of misery, and entitle their members to the respect 0
their fellow citizens.
The chair was to have been taken by the President of the
Society, Peter Morison, Esq., but a tall from his horse bad
unfortunately prevented him from attending.
Mr. Wallace. Chairman of the Licensed Victuallere
Asylum, was called to the chair.
'The cloth having been removed, and the usual loyal toasts
proposed from the chair and enthusiastically drunk,
The Cuarnatax rose and said, that an important task bad
devolved upon him in his having to present Mr. Lewis with
a testimonial of respect from the members of the Society,
He felt extreme pleasure in taking that duty upon himself
though he deeply deplored the absence of the President,
who would have discharged it more efficiently.—(
no.) But he regretted it the more that it should have
been occasioned by a severe fall from his borne. The Ow
sure of the present occa-ion was, however,s-some compel"'
sation to them, and, for his own part, he estsemed it ah
honour to present so excellent a man as their late treasurer,'
with this testimonial of his merit. Charity; the brighter
diadem of the Christian, and thcssurest indication of pure rely.
gion, was of him a token and a sign. On all qx.casious he W 5
ready at his duty, distributingto the poor their usual all°
ante ; and when the carelessness of a secret try had left hi?'
unproslded with the necessary means, he had, unhesitatingq;
supplied them from his own purse.—(Cheers..) He had not
even contented himself with that, for he had, on many necie
sions repeated his benevolence. Under those eircurnstanli
he wa- proud and happy to present Mr. Lew is with the g
of the Society.
The Chairman then handed Mr. Lewis a ?handsome saver
snuff-box, of large dimensions and elegant diesign.
Mr. LEWIS rose to receive the box, and thunked the caner
pany in warm language for the highly complimentary rites,
ner in which they had expressed themselves ,an his disevu"
of duty.
