Scots Corporation, a General Court of the Governc4rs
was held,. according to their Charter,, for the elec-
tion of Officers for the year prisUing, when his GrAce
the Duke of MoNTROSE was re-elected President ;
his Grace the-Duke .of ARGYLE,. the Marquis of
'DOUGLAS and 'C'ISDESDAL, the Earl of 'Rossi.-vg,
Lord MINTO', Lord aCno, and. General Sir JANIE'S
PULTENEY, Bart. were elected Vice-Presidents' (the
two Senior Vice-Presidents for last year going out by
rotation, aCtording,tO .a,Strinding bye-law of the Sto-
ciety); and HENRY MORNTONj .I.t..rq. M. P.. Tre-
asurer. The Court afteTTliairds adjourned to
Lon-
don Tavern' to di:tmer, with the benefaaors" and •
-friends of Institution, Lord Mlyro,V,ice-Presideni,
in the Chair: The company on this occasion was, as
usual,numerbus and very respectable ;aird the Noble , •
Chairthan lost no opportutiiiy, during the evening, of
gratifying the wishes of Al present with loyal and
patriotic toasts, and so publicly testifying their love
to.,their :King and Country, and gratitude to the
British heroes. he: Treasurer of the- Navy be- .
itig present; delivered 'a 'speech replete :h great •
patriotic zeal and•philarithropy, extolled.the British
Officers and Men, and recommended tl.e Chatty as
one, in his mind, the rnOst deserving ;- contributed
himself handsomely, and expressed hi;• sentiments of
great respect for the Country, the -4-roor of which
this InStitution particularly regarded, and his sincere
wishes for its success, in language the most impres.
'We noticed among • the other Officers and
Gentlemen of rank present, Captains SKENE and
MA WELL, bf the Navy, who entered warmly into
the business of the day, and by their liberality,
affability, and conviviality, added greatly to the
pleasure and harmony of the Meeting. • The. former •
of the two last mentioned Gentlemen-being called
to the Chair when the Noble Chairman left it, ac-
quitted himself, as we are persuaded he will do on
everv'octasion, much to his own honour, and to the
satisfy Lion of the Company. On this occasion
some excellent patriotic songs were sung by Messrs.
DIGNu!I, GIBBONS, &C. &C. In the midst of the
festivity the Noble Chairman never lost sight of the
purpose of the Meeting ; 'and his warm recommen-
dation of the Charity, and liberal example, accom-
panied by a handsome donation from- the-Earl- of
;VIOIRA, was well followed tny by the Company,
whereby a suin was added.to the furids Of the Insti-
ttition, equal, if not superior, :to most of. the termer
years. 2 The Worthy Recruiting General of the Cor-
poration, although prevented' freirr personal attend-
, ance, by indisposition, had not beau unmindful of
-tll2 annual muster on that day. It was, evident
Throughdut, that the Stewards had beenUnremitting-
ly,attenae to the brin,ing together of a respectable
CoMpany, and afterW;ds mhking them Comfortable
and happy. The dinner and wines did great ho-
nour to- the Stewards, and, much credit to .the
Tavern.' '
