BENEVOLENT SOCIETY OF BLUES.—On Wednesday
the annual meeting of the members of the above Society, formed
in 1824, for the relief of persons educated at Christ's Hospital,anO
their widows and orphans, when in distressed circumstances, was
held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street ; Charles Few,
Esq ,in the chair. Mr. T. R. Sidebotham read the report. It ap-
peared that the Society continued to increase in prosperity. The
claims upon its funds had not been so numerous last year as the
year before, and the committee had consequently been able to act
with greater liberality to those who did apply. During the year
many persons educated at Christ's Hospital, and once in prosperous
circumstances, but reduced by misfortune, had been relieved, but
the resources of the committee were yet inadequate to meet the
demands made upon them. The funded capital now amounted to
6,109/., and the receipts during the past year to 2951. Deduct.
ing the amount awarded in relief, and the expenses of the Society,
a balance remained with the treasurer of 321. Mr. Perkins
moved, and Mr. Skegg seconded the adoption of the report. The
motion Was carried, after which the officers were appointed, and ,
Lau* voted to the chairman. The meeting then operated.
