(Ifeai, hear.) The Society was founded kanE.SOlll;4l4,l
best axioms of political economy, and was based upon high moral
and religious principles.—(Hear, hear.) The principles of a so-
ciety were referred to, to show how a great many by combination
could benefit the few that required assistance.—(Hear, hear.) He
perceived that it was proposed that two thousand persons should
have a share of 100/ each, which sum was to be paid up at LI. a
month ; so that in eight years and a half or so the whole lON%
would be paid up. This would give to the Directors 2,0001. a
month, which sum would be let out to enable persons to go into
business, and generally to promote their welfare in business.—
(Hear, hear.) The principle was a good one, and if they secured
the numbers which they proposed getting there was no doubt of
the success of the object which they had in view.—(Hear,
hear.) Now how were they to get the requisite number ?
In this way—by each man making a point of bringing
a friend with him to join the Institution.—(Hear, hear.)
And here he was reminded of a circumstance which oc-
curred in the City sometime ago :—.A highly-respectable man, con-
nected with the City was killed—several persons went about the
,: City expressing regret at the circumstance. At last a Quaker
Ga.(l, in reply to some expression of commiseration, " I feel 1001.;
wh' do you feel ?"—(Laughter, and cries of hear, hear.) Now he
wou 0 tapply this anecdote in this way :—To carry out the propo.
sition toe .which lie had referred would require additional members, .
and the qu,,,,4.;0n he wished to put to them was this—" How many
members do y._.„.. feel ?" (Hear, hear, and laughter.) After some
further equally .
ropriate observations, the worthy Chairman

concluded by propos.l„,:, " Success to the London Friendly Insti-
tution."—( Applause.]
Mr. C. BRADY then r,,,,,, nosed, in very eulogistic terms, the
that gentleman responded to in health of the Chairman, whif.lt%
brief but effective terms.

The CHAIRMAN then proposed the healths of the Medical At-
tendants of the Institution.

Mr. BAINBRIDGE returned thanks, an :aid he was at the birth
of the Institution. He was proud of thevceas which had at-
tended upon its establishment, and sure he WO that a more valu.
able instution did not exist in the metropolis.
Mr. NEIL proposed the" Directors and Auditors Of w_le Society."
Mr. Jones and Mr. Varley returned thanks ; as dbe also Mr.
Green and the Secretary, for the toast of the " Receivers land Se-
cretary of the Institution."

The CHAIRMAN then proposed the " Health of the Stewards (due
Dinner Stewards)," which having been acknowledged, the Chair—,
man retired, and his place was snpplied by Mr. Brady, who, during
the remainder of the evening, performed the duties of his office in
a manner that gave infinite satisfaction to the company.
Messrs. Atkinson, Hamblin, and Johnson sung several excellent
glees in the course of the evening, and thus added to the enjoyment
of the company.
Mr. Higgs was a capital toastmaster.
