Society met in their new Hall, Albyn Place, which has been finished and fitted up in a style, and with a ,taste, which de much credit to Mr. Playfair the Architect. The accommoda tions fur the Direct:4s, Committees, and acting Officers, and for the Library, are in every respect complete, as will also be the apartments for models of Machinery, when finished as pro posed ; but we suspect the room for the General Meetings, which for its size is a very beautiful specimen of pure Greek Architecture, may occasionally be found small for the accom modation of the very numerous and constantly increasing mem bers of this great Institution. Soon after one o'clock, nearly 200 members were assem bled, and among those, the Duke of Hamilton and Brandon ; the Marquis of Tweeddale ; the Earls of Mar and Aboyne ; Lord Name; the Right Hon. Sir John Sinclair, Bart. ; the Right Honourable Charles Grant, M.P, ; Hon. Baron Sir P.

On the motion of the Duke of Hamilton, seconded by the Earl of Mar, the Marquis of Tweeddale, one of the Vice-Pre sidents in office, was unanimously c a ll e d to the Chair, when, after a ballot, as prescribed by the Society's Charter, the fol lowing Gentlemen were duly admitted members, their names ordered to be recorded, and public notification of their election given, viz. : The Hon.

Factor on the estate of Invercauld. Mr. Ixems, the Treasurer, with much perspicuity, sub mitted to the meeting a view of the funds of the Society, em bracing an articulate Report of its income and expenditure last year, from the detailed annual state thereof on the table, pre .pared by .11Ir. Russell, the Society's Accountant, which proved highly gratifying. Mr. Metermerwen, the Secretary, then reported the pro ceedings of the Directors since the last general meeting in July. He submitted a general view of the rewards bestowed for pro moting the agricultural and internal improVemenf of Scotland; observing, that since November premiums had been awarded . to a very considerable amount for Essays, containing informa tion on various subjects — for improving Waste Lands—Drain age—raising Turnips and Cultivated thasses—numerous local exhibitions of Live Stock in various districts, at which about 600 head of Cattle had been brought in competition, besides -Horses •and Sheep—for medals to Practical noughmEin—me-' dais to Cottagers for promoting attention to cleanliness and neatness —honorary premiums to • proprietors in the He brides, and Orkney and Shetland, for planting—for im proving the quality of Kelp, and collecting and preparing Ma , rive Plants for other useful purposes ; in regard to all whicii, he observed, that as the names of the successful. competitors would be afterwards published, it was unnecessary to detain the meeting. In speaking of Kelp, the Secretary noticed wall approbation the successful experiments of Mr. M'Crummen of Leith, with the view of improving its quality on the east coast, where it bad previously been rated at a comparatively' low vri e lue. He also observed, that various Local Agricultural So cieties were 'now very judiciouely devoting a portion of their funds to promote attention to Veterinary Surgery, by encourag. ing skilful Veterinary Surgeons to settle in their respective dis. tricts, or for defraying a part of the expence of sending, Fare riers to Edinburgh, to attend the Lecturei given by. Mr. Dick, under the Society's patronage. . Mr. FERGUSON of Woodhill submitted the 'Report of the Committee, for conducting the General Show of Live Stock at Edinburgh, from which it appeared, that the COmMittee Were unanimous in recommending its continuanee at Edinburgh during the present year e but that the Committee had felt h their duty to consider with mature deliberation, the request from the Noblemen and Gentlemen, Members of the Society, connected with the west of Scotland, to obtain for Glasgow, occasionally, the benefit of this Exhibition, and agreed that Glasgow so important in respect of its great population, and consequent demand for fat cattle—from its vicinity to other large manufacturing towns, and its position with relation to extensive Agricultural Districts, had a claim for obtaining for the feeders and graziers a the west, an opportunity of showing their stock at such a general exhibition. The Committee therefore resolved, 1. That the General Show of Stock, and Exhibition of Im plements of Husbandry, Roots, and Seeds, should be continu ed in . 11825, in Edinburgh. 2. That it is expedient that the General - Exhibition of Stock should also be continued in 1826, but to be held in Glasgow, and the same sum applied for this purpose as is given in Edin burgh, and that' this should be 'immediately announced for the information of competitors. The Duke of HAMILTON rose. His Grace began by ob serving, that he trusted he might be allowed to express to the Society, in name 'of ' the agriculturists in the west, their sense of the special mark of attention to their interests and wishes evinced in the proposal subMitted front the Committee;—that on the expediency of the suggestion, he trusted the meeting would concur with the Committee, as he felt convinced that the occasional transferences of the general Show of Stock to Glas gore, would be a judicious measure, as likely to excite a laud able spirit of emulation among the great agriculturits in the east and west ; and must be conducive to the purposes of its establishment. His Grace added, that he had no doubt, if the proposal was acceded to, the gentlemen in the west country would show when the day of exhibition arrived, that they had not been inattentive to promoting the patriotic views of the Soe ciety, and concluded a very appropriate address, by moving that the report of the committee be approved. The Earl of A BOYNE, said that he took entirely the same view of the matter as the Noble Duke, and had therefore much pleasure in seconding the motion, which was unani mously approved, and the necessary sums accordingly voted for the General Show of Stock at Edinburgh in 1825, and in Glasgow in 1826. Mr. ROBERTSON SCOTT of Bercholnae, from the Commit tee for deciding the premiums for the best specimens of Dun lop, and of imitation Double Gloucester Cheese, made in Scot land, reported the very satisfactory result of this the first com petition. Fifty two cheeses had been sent in, and 'from tin affidavits of competitors it appeared that some thousand stones ' of the saute quality must have been made in the course of the year. By the advice of several practical judges, who had af forded the Committee the benefit of their assistance, the first premium for Dunlop was awarded to Mr. Sandersen, tenant in Blackcastle, Carnwath, Lanarkshire, and that for imitation Double Gloucester, to Mr. James Bell of Woodhoueeleee, Dumfries-shire ; the Judges being farther of opinion, that many of the specimens of the latter description of cheese were equal in quality and flavour to real Gloister cheese. . Mr. LOCKHART of Greenaton observed, that he was ac quainted with the locality of the farm, upon which the Dunlop cheese, which had obtained the premium, was made. It was situated in a high and by no means a fertile arable district, a circumstance which gave rise to a well-founded anticipation, that, by improved management, so much might be made of, the dairy hustandry, in many of our grazing districts, as to super sede the necessity of any import of the article of cheese, and we might probably; by and by, be enabled to rival our neighbours in England in this manufacture, as, he trusted, we might also shortly hope to do in stapling our own wool. Mr. MACPHERSON' GRANT, M.P. reported, that the com petition for the premium for a report on the cotnparative ad vantantages of drill and broadcast husbandry, in cultivating grain crops, had given rise in some curious results. Mr. Bos well of leingcausie, in' Kincardinshire, who had gone to Nor •folk to see the drill system, as practised by Mr. Coke, had re. , ported a very accurate experiment, afterwards made by him 'with a crop of bear, after fallow, in which the broadcast, in re spect of produce and quality of grain, had the advantage. In the opinion of the committee, however, some circumstances, connected with the state of the field, probably were unfavour able to a fair experiment ; but Mr. Boswell proposes to repeat it this season, after a turnip fallow, and report the result. In the meantine, it appeared expedient to continue this premium for farther experiment. A most favourable and interesting. Report was made by Mr. Monto Binning, front the ComMittee appointed to decide the premiums offered by the Society for promoting the curing of provisions in Scotland, after the manner practised in Ireland. He said, that in a branch of industry, previously almost un known in Scotland, a rapid advance had already been made in the quarter were the premiums were offered. These were li mited, in the first place, to beef shipped at the port of Aber- • deen, crom cattle fed in the counties of Aberdeen, Kincardine, and Banff; and in the course of the first year Mr. I). Milne, the successful competitor, had cured and shipped above 90,000 pounds of beef, fit to keep on any foreign voyage. As superior pieces only were used, it was estimated that he must have cleared the market of 700 or 750 cattle, fed in the three coun ties. Mr. Binning congratulated the Society on this satisfac tory result, and mentioned, that it was in the view of the Di rectors to transfer the premiums to some Others of the princi pal ports—Greenock and Dundee for instance. The Meeting expressed their aknowledgments to Mr. Horne Elphinstone, Convener, and the other Members of the Local Committee at Aberdeen, and also to Captain Brebner, who was. so obliging as to afford them the benefit of his skilful assistance, in a pe riodical inspection of the beef, as the process of curing pro ceeded. . On motion of Mr. M`Pherson Grant, seconded by the Duke of Hamilton, the thanks of the Society were voted to the Corn missiOners for Public Records, and particularly to Thomas Thompson, Esq. Deputy Clerk Register, for presenting a copy of the Parliamentary and other public Records of Scotland, published under their direction, to be deposited in the Society's Library, which was now to be established on a footing:of re spectability and permanency. On the motion of Sir John Sinclair, seconded by Mr. Scott of Sinton, the thanks of the Meeting were likewise voted to various public authorities and private individuals of France and the Netherlands, who had lately pre sented to the Library publications, containing important statis tical and. agricultural information connected with these king doms. 31r. GRAHAM DAL YELL, Convener of the Committee on Machinery, stated the proceedings since last General Meeting, • and upon their report, approved by the Directors, the follow ing sums were voted, viz. 1. To Mr. James Scott, superin tendant at Queensferry, for a grate on a new construction, by the use of which a considerable portion of the smoke is con sumed during the combustion of the fuel, a Premium of Five: Sovereigns, and a sum not to exceed 101. as the price of the, grate, which had been placed for experiment in a chimney in. the Society's house. 2. To James Aird, and James Dunlop, ingenious operative mechanics at the coal-works of Messrs. Taylor, of Ayr, for an improvement in the mode of attaching axles and wheels to carriages for rail-roads, a ismodel of which was submitted to the Society; Seven Sovereigns: 3. TO . J a mes Sellar, an operative blacksmith, in the parish of Bo triphney, Banffshire, for a cart-wheel, with nave, spokes, and felloes, entirely of malleable iron, with certain improvements, Six Pounds ; a model of the wheels and axle to be transmit ted to the Society in place of the large wheel which was sent for inspection. Several other articles and their purpose were exhibited to the members; among which were the model of a maChine for twisting straw ropes for co r n stacks , by Mr. Ainslie, farther at • The Earl of Man presented to the Meeting' several models of improved corn-stacks , and also a specimen of hornbeam hedges, which his Lordship has. found to make a remarkably by Mr. Hunter, of Thurston. Haddiogtonshire; and the model of an improved gate, • strong and durable fence. He, at the seine time, lahl - on the' table a paper of directions for preparing the sniil and treating' hedge after it, bas been plante t dointil it attains maturity_ 'The Meethig expr'ssed their ricknoivledgMents to his Lord ship for these further instances of his continued' attention ;to ,agriculture. .. • Mr. it. JoritriTon - , a .. Magistrate of Edinburgh, brought Under the notice - cif'file Society, by letter, the iinpOrtince of procuring throughout Scotland, full and accurate returns of births, deaths,nd.inarrixgesi, sinailar to those . which bavelicen 'Obtained for OliSgow; for several 'years by Mr. Clellifid—a extremely important, and which, Mr. Johnston thinks from the successful result of the Society's inyestigatiojas re garding Friendly' Societies, might be attained by. its interpoSi- - tion. It seemed to be the general impression of the ineetirig, : that although the attainment of this zneasure.was, in itself; highly important and desirable, it could not come within ,the objects of the SCitiety ; and from the' Wide field of inqUirreth bitaCedby it, will the' great expence which that inquiry must occasion, it could only be eflectually .attained by the interfe rence of ,Government. gilt as the .commitnicatiOn wa„l t vell dettei4ifig 'of 'inotedelib'erAte'conSideratidn , than could be given at ageneral meeting, the letters and re.latiYe- papers were, on the motion of Sir John Sinclair, seconded by Mr. Oliphant, remitted'to the Directors. Mr. Macinosrat.n of St... Martins called thelittention . of-the Society to the recent obliging instance of acc.ornmodatiqn af forded to them by the 'Royal Caleo. - mi;til Hunt, in changing their day of meeting in JanUary. so as not ' to interfere with the anniversary of the Society, which, by the charter, was specially fixes; to be the 2d Tuesday of that month. He observed that the Directors; upon . the :resolution of, the Hunt being' inade. -known to them, had entered upon their minutes the expression of_t h eir feelings on the subject, and he thought a like expres sion of the cordial thanks of this anniversary ; meeting' ` should form part of the minutes of the day. Mt.'"liines of Stow, trea surer of the Society, seconded this motion, which was carried With unanimous approbation. GAELIC DICTIONARY.—In absence of Mr.II.'IIIACKEN zir, th e i r Chairman, who was detained.from the Meeting by indisposition, Mr. GRAHAM DALYEI.L reported the progress of the Coininittee. He recalled to the recollection of the So ciety, that several years had elapsed since the recommencement of this national work—one which was designed to preserve the, venerable reliCs of the prestine language of the Higlilanders. Various obstacles had retarded its progress, not'only from doubtful and defective materials, and the usual obstructios tq similar literary compositions, always of the most difficult, de scription ; but the Committee, besides, had to regret the succes sive decrease.of sonic of the learned contributors employed by them, whose loss it was no easy matter to repair. They had been fortunate, however, in recently obtaining the assistance of Alr'.ll , lackintosh Mackay, who proved himself eminently quali fied frir the task. They likewise had been able to procure the use of the earliest, and only known copy of Bishop Carseweil's Liturgy, printed in Gaelic in 15G6, from the library of the noble family Of Argyll. A conSiderable'Portion of the Dictionary, now completed ) lay on the table for inspection of Members, who would be gratified equally by the style and appearance of the work ; the remainder was advancing expeditiously through the press, and there did not seem any. doubt, that in about a year, or little more, the whole would be offered in a finished state to the public. Then he was confident it would be found not only to merit the commendations of the learned, but it would remain a durable monument of the zeal of its original promoters, as well as of those useful undertakings which ,tbe perseverance of this Society is capable of conducting to a suc cessful issue. • 'A. very great number of requests for Premiums, from various districts of Scotland, were referred to the Direc,ors, with in• structions to attend to them in as far as the state of the Society's funds would admit.

The Duke of lisminTori, seconded by the Earl of Anialrxx, in.very appropriate terms, moved the thanks of, the Society to the Marquis of Tweeddale, for his Lordship's able discharge of the duty of Vice-President, and his zealous attention in that capacity to promote the object of . the Institution. The Noble Marquis expressed his acknowledgments, and his readiness on all occasions to use his best endeavours to advance the interests of Scottish agriculture, with which the exertions of this Society were so intimately and so advantageously connected. In the afternoon, a party of above 90 Noblemen and Getit tlemen, members of the Society, attended the anniversary din ner at the Waterloo-tavern, when Lord Tw p ecd9lale,.4o the duties of the chair in a way which spewed hoW . Offec4 his Lordship possesses all the requisites of Chairman of such 'a meeting. We have not known - so large a party more comtnrtably accommodated, and : the dinner was served by AIL Oman in excellent order. No business being conduCted at the anniver sary dinner of the Society, we believe no report of it is at any time made, nor were any reporters present; but although lye perfectly concur in the expediency of societies strictly for business taking no notice of their convivial meetings, we Cannot help regretting at the same time that, on this occasion, there -is no report of the . address of Lord Tweeddale in proposing tlAe toast of the day—" Success to the Highland Society of Scot land," in the course of which, he gave a most able expdsition of_the.important benefits derived from the Society's exertions.
