The object of this Society is to assure benefits to its members, re
income rising from Bs. a week to 28s. during sickness, with the
advantage of medical attendance, and sums of money payable o
death. To übtain these benefits, members are obliged to coat

of the party at his entrance. The princjple upon which the So.
ciety is founded is that of mutual reciprocity. Since the. SOcie,t,
has been founded it has paid 17,000/. to afflicted members, and
reserved surplus is at present 6,5001. Mr. Alderman Challis Pre.

The usual loyal toasts were given frsm the chair, and wa
responded to.
The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the toast of the eve
but before doing so, he read a letter from - Mr. T. Dunc°'' bit
M.P., in which the Hon. Gentleman expressed his regret that
Parliamentary duties would prevent him from having the file 1,,
of being present on so interesting an occasion. The worthy ‘
man, after paying a well-merited compliment to the zeal of the
Hon. Member for Finsbury, in the cause of the working then,
proceeded to observe upon the toast which he was about to Plje,
pose, namely, "Success to the London Friendly Institution."
owned that he was most anxious for the success of this institull's",
because he felt that one-half of the evils, sorrows, and sulreriro
of society sprung from the difficulties with which humanity had nt
contend, and because he believed that such a society as the pre'ed
was well calculated to ameliorate the condition of mankind'o
by lending its aid to soothe the sorrows of affliction, Make..!'

curred in the City sometime ago :—A highly-respectable man, the
