THE CALEDONIAN ASYLUM. T A - nuiversarY Dinner of this excellent Insa tution was held on Saturday at the City of Lon don Tavern. The Right Honourable Lord SAL TOUN took the Chair, in the absence of His Royal Highness the Duke of Yonx, whose public du ties prevented his presiding on this interesting anti gratifying occasion. About two hundred gentlemen sat down to dinner,•amongst whom we observed, Lord Glenorchv, the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, t c 6 ert Donnie; Esq., of Appin, M.P.. James Cawthorn, Esq. Admiral Fraser, Allan, E sq ., Al cxander M Fraser, Esq. A. Spottiswoode Esq., k e i ll: 141 11 Anderson, Esq., James Wedderburn, 'James rrtdge Duncan, j un ., Esq., A. Stewart, Esq., G. F. Bran dram, Esq., V. F. ftivay, Esq., Alexander Grant, Esq., Chas. Esq., A. '.ll‘Leay, Esq., &c. Most of the Members of the Highland Society '7. 110 we're present wore the national characteris 'c dress, and Itsl‘Gregor and Clark, the Pipers ~ the Highland Society, were in attendance, and al ternately with Gow's Band entertained the r omp arty during dinner with many delightful and 'avourite Airs. After the cloth was removed, (C Non nobis homine," was mug by Messrs. Clark, Broad hurst,.and the other Professional Gentlemen pre- NOBLE CHAIRMAN . then gave " The " The Royal Family," " The Duke °I . York, President of the Institution," for w hose absence his Lordship apologized, and The Memory of the Duke of Kent ;" all of which were received with great enthusiasm, ex ept the latter, which was drank in solemn and re spectful silence. 'The NOBLE CHAIRMAN then proposed, in a short and appropriate speech, " Prosperity to the Caledonian Asylum," which excited The most rapturous applause. ' After which the note of a well-known pibroch announced the arrival of the Children now on the Society's 'Esta blishment, who immediately entered the room, P.receded by the Piper; they were attired in the Highland garb, and presented one of the Most pleasing and interesting sights that we ever Witnessed, and we much regretted that the Royal President of the Institution was not present to Participate in it, as it could not but have been h lghly , gratifying to him to see an Institution, similar in its design and objects to that which does so much honour to him, reared and brought to such perfection, by the exertion and liberality of Private individuals, unassisted by the influence Or the resources of the Government of . the country. Aft er marc hi ng s e vera l times round the room, the Children retired, but their appearance seemed to have imparted a gratifying and proud satisfaction to the company, which we are well convinced they will long continue toenjoy, as the just reward of the interest which they have taken in the forthation and endowment of so benevoient an Association. The SECRETARY shortly afterwards announced various donations and subscriptions, which had' been made in the course of the evening. The amounts we believe, was upwards of 5001. be sides several new annual subscriptions, and its atmouncement was received with long and reite rated applause. The NOBLE CHAIRMAN then proposed -" the S eas • of th e Chief J u stic e o f th e ... Common : 1 1 eaS," which was drank with the utmost cordi viltY, and his Lordship returned thanks in an 09., the speech. and concluded by proposing e health 'of‘Lord.

Ent:pit—lt will have I.;;ert vain that 1. cry Iris recorded the,rise and fall of nations; t 11::it..States and their insrittitions, if the seeurity of CI:!- . Protestantr.;', 01;',.7,:ne , t1 by the bioo.d of their neli•tyrs i •established hy,their ancestors, and main t:2ineti inviolable, as it has been for upwards of a century,. is now to be• left defteneele.s or preg nable to Popish innovations, to political intrigue, or private interest. It is a fact very worthy of remark, that the Opposition Journals have for the most part been .silent on the sulject of - the,Ca-. thulic Question ; and why so ? t is to What pcc. , ple,.to let them slurs:her- until the firc- ir•:::;d of Catholic persecution _shall. be applied to then: ; is to let them tread on with c.•: a _warning upon the path they are stow pur sai,ng,untll they have entered the Catholic Baran cipation toils, when the nets will be sr read, and the mrsuspecting Protestants becoe the prey .of Papa! bigotry. • No Journals have- attempted the defence of Catholic Emancipation, and on.a just ground, if Protestantism is to ex.ist they never can. Ask the Catholic, what is heresy, and ask him; if it is not consistent, and .not only so, : but imperative in the laws of the Church, to extirpate heretics by any means • whatever, practicable ,with safety to themselves. If, as min of genuine honour, whom: ;he belief of the infallibility of their. Church influence, can they deny the truth of the assertion ? If, with oht mental reservations, they can, tiles - are the Protestants unjust, and State" should have its Popish Senators. Consiiler the -petitions that r't. - pres - ented' from . all' pttrtie's iitainst the-i ro duction of Papists into the LegislaZure ; hear and read the arguments, so sound; so numerous, and uncoritradieted,' upon not tnert...l% the in-:- policy of sueh a measure, lint the injustice that would - be counitt4d, and the. tyranny that in a.f tertime must ensue from it. Ever since the lie formation have' the . works.of the learned abound ed with sentiments of this kind; and to this day it is the general feeling, and is the incessant voice of the public preSs, 'pouring forth its cool but reasonable objections to such threatened un constitutional and terrific innovation. But what Will these appeals avail .when one party in the State can effect its ohject, whatever it may be or whenever it may suit ? If such is the case, (and some proof of such 'has, of late times, been yielded,) the _ Press may then, in deed, by them be looked down upon with indifference and contempt ; it may never be seen, perhaps ; for awhile it may not be heard —but one general burst in the voices of a Pro., testant and deluded nation, will speak, nay will effect one day or other, that which intrigue, im po:icy, interest, or call it what you may, infatua tion, shall have for the moment yoked upon this people. Are the Protestants, too, not suffering —have not they a claim upon the State ? Where is the real benefit of the reiterated boast of " the people's right of election"—where is the re ported " voice of the people"—where is. their " representation" to be found—surely, not in the Members 'for a Borough, 'who can return them selves. Arc the Protestants, then, who have en dured their grievances so long, to he attended to the last, and the Catholics to be paid first ? The Protestants have not forfeited their claims, I trust, by their passive obedience and loyalty ; let,' then, their debt be' ii . OW . dliicha . rged. They claim their due, and it shoeld, in my opinion, be given—a restoration of the rights to the Elective Franchise.' A PROTESTANT. FRANCIS REGNIER, an ,elegant French Poet and translator, of the seventeenth century, was a man of such inflexible integrity of character, that he was called the abbe PERTINAX. -Upon a par ticular occasion, a person high in office, from whom he had some expectations, pressed him to stretch a point so far as to tell an untruth. "If you do not comply with my request," said the great man, in an angry tone, " you will rue the consequences, for I. am resolved to quarrel with you. " Whatever the consequences may be," replied REGNIEn, coolly, " I had much rather you should quarrel with :tie for my refusal of your request,Than that I should quarril with myself for complying "with it."—ln his elegant poems, gaiety is blended with moral reflections. Among his short pieces there is one which he sent to a lady, with the present of a violet. The flower is supposed to address her in the following strain of sweet and delicate compliment : " Modeste.en o - ia couletr, modeste en mon sejoar, Franche d'ambition, je me eathe sots l'hethe ; .
