wherever they should meet. This wish to pre serve in the present day the language and costonts • of Other times might positively be called prejudice, but so also might many of the noblest feelings which can ;termite the human mind. Modern la titude of opinion might stigmatize as prejudice the loyalty of the patriot and self-devotedness Of the soldier. The self-called" citizen Of the world" might, in the language of universal philanthropy, blame love of country itself as a narrow and pre judiced feeling, and, while he attempted to measure princiales by the standard of general utility, might if, fact reduce them to iodividnal and sordid sel fishness ; but surely to a meeting of Highlanders it was unnecessary to enlarge on this point, or to explain how love of country might resolve itself into lov e of one's countrymen, and thence into at tachment to the' peculiar customs which distin guished those countrymen ; and even on the score of utility, the preservation of the garb which dis . tiognisheti the Highland soldier, of the lan guage in which the deeds of his forefathers were celebrated, and of the music which anit»ated him in the day of battle, were objects well deserving the attention of those who wished to preserve unimpaired his martial spirit, and to devote him to the service of his country. The next object of the Society, namely, the " preserving front obli vion the valuable remains of Gaelic Literature," was one which he supposed could not be match promoted its this province ; but if any such remains were still extant amongst any of the more ancient emigrants, it was needless to point out the pro priety of immediate attention to them. The objects next specified—namely, " the esta blishmetit and support of Gaelic Schools, and the relieving distressed Highlanders at a distance front their native homes," were both peculiarly appli cable to the state of society in this province, where the means of bestowing generally the be nefits of education were still very deficient, and where many Highland emigrants were daily ar riving its a state of poverty and distress. The object of the Parent Society " for promoting the improvement and geoeral welfare of the northern parts of the island of Great Britain," would pro bably in this branch thereof be modified so as to apply to the improvement and general welfare of the Highland settlements in this province ; and though be was deficient in local knowledge on the subject, yet the information he had received left to, room to doubt that, by a judicious distribution of premiums for agricultural improvements, and by other means within the reach of the society, much rni;shr be done towards promoting so desir able an object. This mention of premiums na turally led him to consider the means of providing them, and of contributing to the other objects of the society, which it was evident could only be done by subscriptions to be paid by members; atid in fixing the rate of such subscriptions-, the meet ing would have to consider, on the one side, the expediency of raising ample funds to promote such laudable purposes, and, on the other, the danger of deterring eligible members from coming forward, by exacting too heavy a contribution on admission into the society. On this point, and indeed on every other which he had introduced, he (the Chairman) had - derived much infoituation . and assistance from a gentleman well known to • the tneeting, and highly respected by all to whom he was known l—a"gentleman active and indefa tigable in promothog every object connected with the prosperity of the province, and to whose in dividual exertions the trteetiog was indebted for obtaining the commission under which they met, and for organizing the measures to be brought before them. This gentleman was the Reverend Alexander Macdonell, anti lie (the Chairman) Was satisfied that that gentleman's previouseap probation Of the propositions to be submitted to the meeting would of itself be sufficient to pro cure them a faventrab!e reception. It only remained to speak of the internal re gulations and the meetings of the Society. The Constitution of the Parent Society was establish: ed by Act of Parliament, and the bye-laws (of which he presented a copy), bad been frathed with great care, and wet.: the result of long ex perience. Still, hoWever, they might be found to contain regulations unsuitable to the state of social in this Province, and it -appeared the safest plan to adopt provisionally the constitu tion and bye-laws of the Parent Society, and to appoint a Committee to consider and to report cuch modifications of them as might appear ex pedient and beneficial to the interests of this Society. _ A similar course tnight perhaps be. adopted with advantage, in regulaiing the meet ings anti providing for the expenses attending them, so as never to infringe upon the funds of the Society, :illicit he trusted would always be preserved inviolate, and strictly applied to the objects specified in the Constitution. A certain number of meetings it was evidently necessary to hold, but it would be well to guard . against making them too frequent, or too expensive. The meetings of the Parent Society were generally, held at that period of the year, when London was the resort of persons of distinction front all parts of the country, and their general annual meeting was held on the 21st of March, to cele brate the anniversary of the battle of Alexandria. In this province, the seasons of the year a►►d the Efate of the roads would necessarily he taken into consideration in appointing the times of ID-cting, and there was no season of the year in %%Thiel' days might not be selected endeared to the feelings of Highlanders by the deeds and the fame of their gallalit countrymen. Ha understood the summer vou!d be the inoqt convenient season for the gene- rat annual meeting of this Society, anti the:aoni- versary of the batik of Bannockburn had been suggested as an appropria'e occasion for Scotch men, mod the descendants of Scotchman, to com- mernora;e,—And certainly he concurred in the opinion that it was In many respects highly in teresting to celebrate a clay in which the land of their forefathers. had been defended against inva- Ilion, and tesued from oppression ; but in other respects, the selection of a day in which Scotch nifni had vanquished Englishmen might give room for misconstructi:m, and it appeared to him more proper to select the anniversary of a day equally interesting to their feelings, and nearer to their own times—a day in which Englishmen, Irish met, anti Scotchmen had fought side by side, or a.rthe Highland sentiment better expressed it, " shoulder to shoulder," for the defence—not of Scotland alone, hut of Europe, and even of the civilized world, against a foe more formidable than Edward, and against tyranny at least egoally oppressive. It was scarcely necessary to name the 18!li of Jnne, the an' iversay of the glorious field of Waterloo, as a day in which Highlanders had maintained the repnt'ation of their Country, and emulated the deeds of their all cestors. —He would. therefore, prooose that day to be selected for the Anniversary Meeting of the Highland So ciety of Canada. The followi►►g Resolutions Ivere then read by the Chairman, and being seconded by Mr. Mae donell, were unanirnotizdy carried, viz : Ist, That it is eNpedient to establish in this Province a branch of the Highland Society of London, to be called ''The Highland Society of Canada." 2d, That the Geri? Jewel) now present he declared the origi nal Members of the Highland Society of Canada, and that the Gentlemen whose names are contained in the annexed list, be also recorded - as original Members, on signifying their wish to that effect, and acceding to the present proceed ings. 3(1, That the Constitution and Bye-Laws of the Paent So ' ciety be adopted to regulate the proceedings of this Branch thereof, so far as the same may be found consistent with the state of society in this Country, and that a Committee he ap pointed to consider and to report such modifications of the said Constitution and Bye-Laws as may appear requisite. 4th, That the objects of this Society be declared the same as those of the parent Society, together with such further ob: jvcts, conducive to the general improvement of this country, as nioy be found practicable and consistent with the means of this Society. Gth, That an annual subscription of Three Pounds shall be paid by each Member of this Society, and - that it shall be optional for Members preferring to pay a Life Subscription in one sum, to become Life Members on payment of the sum of Twenty Pounds. Gth, That the election of Members he conducted on the same principles, and subject to the same restrictions, as in the Parent Society, with these additions—that the Proprietors of Lands in the Highland Settlements of Canada are deciar i ed eligible to become Members—and that two black balls at the ballot shall exclude the Candidate. 7th, That a General Meeting shall be hell to celebrate the Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo in each year, at which Meeting all Members shall appear in the garb of High landers, and at which such Premiums as the Society may be stow shall be distributed. Some further Regulations for the internal cc.- nomy and management of the affairs of the So ciety were then proposed and adapted, and the Meeting proceeded to coniider the election or Officers, when the Rev. Mr. Macdondl commit nicated the gratifying intelligence that he had so licited and obtained the consent of his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor to he elected the fits( President of the Highland Society of Canada.— The following Gentlemen were then unanimously elected, and, excepting the President, wet e im mediately installed into their respective offices, viz. :- Hii Excellency Sir PEREGRINE MAITLAND, K.C.B • &c. &C. &c. }The Rev. Alex. Macdonell, Vice-Presidents The Hon. Col. McLean, Col. Dana4ll - 711eDonell. Treasurer Alex. Fraser, Esq. }Dr. Roderick M‘Leod, Committee.... Mr. Alexr. McLean, Mr. Akxr. Wilkinson. Secretary Archd. McLean, Esq. After Mr. S. M'Gillivray had resigned the Chair to the newly-elected Vice-President, it' was resolved, " That the Thanks of the Meeting of the original Members of the Highland Society of Canada he unanimously voted to the Hon. Wm. M'Gillivray and to Simon M'Gillivray, Esqrs. for their attendance and able assistance in the forma tion of this Society." The Meeting partook of a plentiful -entertain ment provided for them, and the evening was passed with the conviviality and social enjoyment befitting the occasion. The toasts, as usual in the Parent Society, were given in the Gaelic language, which, it deserves to be recorded, was understood and spoken by every Genleman pre sent. The scene was enlivened by many excel lent Highland songs, and the hour was late , or rather early, before the party took leave of each other with the Highland ceremony of " Doch an Dorais." In our columns to-day, we present our readers with the account of the ((inflation of a New So ciety termed the Highland Society of Canada, being a branch of the London Highland Society. Experience has long since shown the advantages resulting from establishments of this description in the mother country; and of all those which have been instituted for the most laudable pur poses, there is none has a higher claim to public patronage than the Highland Society. This will be readily admitted, whether we ground oar as sertion on the admirable correctness with which its Affairs are managed, or the numerous and use ful purposes TO which its patronage has been ex tended. We feel particular pleasure in announc ing the extension of a branch of this institution to Canada. Many of the most beneficial improve ments in Scotland owe their commencement and progress to the support they have received from the Highland Society. And now that it is esta blished in this courury, we sincerely hope the_ benefits resulting from it will be commensurate with the necessity for improvements, and the de sire for them which we see rapidly springing up into action its the Canadas. To enumerate the many subjects which have come under the foster ing care of that great institution, and have been brought to perfection by its support, would far exceed the limits of a newspaper communication. We shall only remark, that the present improved system of agriculture has been in a great measure produced by the exertions of the Highland So ciety. A great number of the smaller Agricultural Societies are under its patronage; and whenever they award premiums at their_ different competi tions, they are always accompanied with a me dal, or some such mark of merit, to the-success ful competitor from the Highland Society. Com merce has felt its cheering influence. The Arts and Sciences have not been ovei looked by it. And the importance which rank and wealth give to many of its members-secures for it the patron age of the powers that he to carry any of its be uelicial plans into operation.— (Montreal Herald.) LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, FEB. 6. OPERA-HOUSE. WATNIS V. TAILOR. Mr. HEALD, on the part of Mr. Taylor, made application to the Lord-Chancellor that this case might be decided, it having remained for so long a t une before his Lordship. Many months ago ►he Solicitor- - General had applied to the Court, on the part of Mr. Waters, to allow of a postpone ment in the payment of the stun of 10,0001. into Court. This had been granted, but the period at which the sum ought to have been paid had long since expired. U oder these circumstances, he en treated his Lordship to come to some determi nal ioo. The LORD-CHANCELLOR expressed his readiness to decide the case. Mr. Hr ALD.—Perhaps your Lordship will allow me to mention this ease on Thursday next, at\the sitting of the Court. The LORD- CUANCBLLOR.—CertainIy, I can have no objection. COURT OF KING'S BENCEI, SATURDAY, FEB. 6. THE KING V. THB PARISH OF ST. MARY, CANTER• BURY. This was a question respecting the settlement of a pauper, under the following novel circumstances:— The pauper, a boy, had been bound apprentice to a master-mariner, resident in St. Mary, Can terbury, and continued with him some months ; hut circumstances arising which prevented the master from getting his vessel to sea, the master at the end of that time asked his apprentice whether he would like to be turned over-reratiOther master, or wht 'her he would go to setioni for a time, and learn Navifzation. The boy chose the lattet,and was accordingly sentzto a school in Canterbury, by his master, wtlere he continued some time, when he ran away, and returned to Shadwell, to which parish tie had 'originally heionged. Here he afterwaids became chargeable to the -pr;sh, and was _passed to St,. Mary, Canterbury, on the grounds that Ire had obtained a settlement in that parish, by -his service of a year. • Against this decision of the Magistrates that parish now appealed.— The Court, aster hearing the argument, decided that no settlewen' had been gained in St. Mary's parish :,to constitote 'a settlement, there must not only he a binding; a sleeping, and support, bur titer± must also be labour. In the present case the master had not bad the latter. The boy was bOund to bim to kart) practical navigation, but he had not done so ; hk was sent to school, wn.ere he was tau:vs( theoretical navig'ati , m of ly; and there he went by his own choice, and not in consequence of any contronl exercised over him . by his master. This was not such a binding anti service as would settle the pauper, who still -be longed to his original parish ; and the order of Sessions, settling him on St. Mary, Canterbury, was orth:red to be vasbcd. THE KING V. AMOS. The defendant in this case was the keeper of the House of Corret-i-on_lar the county of Lan caster, and was indicted and found guilty of re fusing io deliver up a prisoner named John Sent tern, who had been committed to his custody on a charge of felony, to be tried at the Borough Ses sions for the Borough of Liverpool, _which Ses sions were held in the month of July ; and per sisted in keeping him in custody till the General Quarter Sessions for th e C ou nty, which did not take place till August, when the prisoner was tried and discharged. At the. trial of the defend ant before Mr. Justice Bayley, a point of law in his favour was reserved for the opinion of the Court. The COURT, after bearing Counsel, observed, that the case was one of considerable importance, and they would therefore postpone their judgment, and take time to look over the.cate. THE KING v.' FRANCIS, DAMON. The derendant had been convicted Of . inegally taking fiih in a private fishery, the property of t h e H on . Lady Fane—namely, in a part, of the Rivet Avon, which runs through her Ladyship's ma nor. Mr. CHITTY now applied to have the convic- tion of the Magistrates quashed, 'on the grounds that by law r►o one could lodge an information, or recover penalties under this statute, except the owner of the fishery. In the present instance, the information wits prosemled by Sir H. Fane; and there was no proof whatever before the Magi strates that the i►►formation was preferred at the •desire of Lady Fane, or that she had not given leave to the defendant to fish in her fishery. Mr. CASBERD contended, in support of the con viction, that it was stated on the face of the con viction, that Sir H. Fane appeared at the instance, and on behalf of Lady Fane, and that this was sufficient, without the tact being sworn to, that it was at the desire of Lady Fane. That circum— stance Alight be supplied by intendment. The COURT, however, lied, that in a case of in for•mation the Court would supply nothing by in tendment ; all must be established by proof ; the words of the Magistrate .used in the conviction were not proof. Here was no proof that this in formation was preferred at the desire of Lady Fane. That fact ought either to have been embodied in the information, or proved in evidence ; the want of that proof in the present case was fatal, and the' conviction must therefore be quashed.—(Ti►nes,) A CORRECT METEOROLOGICAL JOURNAL.
