Festivities in the Trade.— On Saturday evening, March 4th, the annual dinner of the principal employes of the firm of J. W. Benson was held at the St. James's Restaurant, Mr. Liddell, Old Bond-street, occupying the chair, and Mr. Gould, Ludgate-hill, the vice-chair. The repast was sumptuous, well-served, and appreciated, and the wines were as good in quality as diverse in kind. All kinds of good things were said of the individual members of the firm and the toast to their health drank with musical honors. Some excellent vocal and instrumental music, by members of the staff, occupied the rest of the evening, which all agreed was one of the most pleasant in their lives.
