STEAMER.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPII.)

LI VERPOOL, Wednesday, 10.20 a.m.—Messrs.
Richardson, Brothers, of this town, have just re-
ceived the following telegraphic despatch from
Queenstown, it being thought that the steamer seen
was the missing Ci ty of Glasgow.
The Captain of the Baldaur, arrived at Queens-
town, reports as follows :—April 21, lat. 45.30,
long. 32.51, two miles distant, saw a large steamer,
hull and funnel black, inside painted drab,
paddle boxes yellow, fore and fore top mast,
sail yard and top, nothing on the mainmast ;
great beam, and strong list to port. Saw no people
nor smoke. She was headed north, but altered
course towards the Baldaur, and immediately dis-
appeared. The Baldaur steered there ; saw large
quantities of biscuits and boxes. When first ob-
served a barque was alongside the steamer, but she
steered away south.
The above description applies to the City of
Glasgow, with the exception of paddle boxes, and
it is thought that the captain of the Baldaur might
have taken the houses on deck, which are painted
yellow, for paddle boxes.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE ROYAL HIGH
LAND SCHOOL SOCIETY.

The usual anniversary festival of this valuable society.
is fixed to take place on Saturday, May 27, at the Lon-
don Tavern ; his Grace the Duke of Montrose has con-
sented to preside. As officers are " particularly re-
quested" to appear in uniform, and Scottish gentlemen
in Highland garb, the scene at the dinner will probably
be a very brilliant one. The secretary, Mr. Mackie,
whose exertions on behalf of the society have not only
been unremitting, but eminently successful, we regret to
find retires from his office this year, being about to re-
side in Scotland. He now appeals, and we hope not
without receiving a warm response, to his friends and
countrymen to give him their support on the occasion,
in order that his last official effort in aid of "the children
of the north" may be made with eclat. The anniversary
sermon of the society will be preached on the forenoon
of Sunday, June 25, by his Grace the Archbishop of
Canterbury, at Portman Chapel. Baker-street. It having
been stated that the Crystal Palace would be opened on
the 27th May, the managers bethought themselves of
chanc'ing the day for the festival, but on communicating
with Sir Joseph Paxton, the secretary received a reply
to the effect that the day had not been appointed for the
opening.
