ST. GEORGE'S SOCIETY OF NEW YORK

(From the New York Albion of April 30.)
The Forty-fitth Anniversary of this Benevolent Institu-
tion was celebrated on Saturday the 23d inst., by the
members dining together at the City Hotel. At six
o'clock a large assemblage of members and invited guests
sat down to a sumptuous dinner, comprising every delicacy
the season affords, served in Unsparing profusion. Mr.
Jennings exhibited his usual taste in the decorations of the
room,—and never was banquet better appointed or more
luxurionsly supplied than by the Jibe, al arrangements
made on this occasion by Mr. Jennings. Among other
guests, the Society was honoured by the presence of James
Buchanan, Esq. H. B. Majesty's Consul, John Graham,
Esq. President of the St. Andrew's Society, John Cham-
bers, Esq. President of the Society of the Friendly Sens
of St. Patrick, and Philip Hone, Esq. President of the
German Society, &c. &c. Owing to the nonattendance
of the clergy the divine benediction was invoked and thanks
offered up by Joseph Fowler, Esq. who officiated as Pre-
sident of the Society, in consequence of Thomas Dixon,
Esq. now in Europe. On the removal of the cloth "Non
nottis Domine " was given in the most effective manner by
Taylor, Pearson, Gear, and Weight. After which Mr.
FOWLER rose and addressed the Society as follows:
" Festive celebrations have to contend with their full
share of opposition. By some they are opposed. because
they are averse to that display of pomp and circumstance,'
which they pronounce to be inseparable froth such occa-
sions, and which they deem more honour'd in the breach
than the observance.' The objections of others are not so
easily arrived at, unless they proceed from a desire to seem
wiser than their more simple neighbours, at the expense,
however, of being Las happy. And there is a third class
of opponents where scruples and motives are so complex
and so profound as to pot even their own inventive powers
on the rack for the discovery of a single why or the pro-
duction of a solitary wherefore. Pe this as it may—l am
persuaded that although an Engliihrnan may deny festivi-
ties to himself, there is one species of hospitality he never
can, nor never will deny to others, and that is a tear for
want--and sympathy for misfortune.
No radiant pearl which crested fortune wears,
Shines with such lustre as the tear that flows
Down Virtue's manly cheek, for other's woes.'
" Gratified as I feel, gentlemen, and as we must all feel,
at this present large assemblage of our social body, I can,
I think, read in the countenances of all around me that
we are not drawn here by the mere attraction of sight and
sound ; but by recollections of our native land, too gratify-
ing to restrain--and by the deeper associations of charity
and benevolence, connected with the high purposes of our
Society—associations which we most willingly yield to,
and which I trust will be awakened with increasing force
on each returning anniversary. Under such impressions,
1 feel unaffected ple ;sure in referring to the steady pro-
gress and continued prosperity of our Society. Our e
per-
manent' fund,—that sheet-anchor of our benevolent de
signs—flourishes and is full of promise; and the demand
upon our Charitable' Fund has been generally suet by an
equivalent supply—notwithstanding the rigours of a sea-
son, marked by its inclemency and by its pressure on the
poor and needy, among our fellow-countrymen,
" Gentlemen, we have every thing to hope and nothing
to fear, for the eminence of our institution, while we can
retain at its head an individual so distinguished for energy,
generosity, and dignity, as is Mr. Thomas Dixon, whose
absence on this occasion no one can regret mere sincerely
