THE GERMAN HOSPITAL AT DALSTOIS.—The
annual general court of the governors of this valuable
institution was held yesterday at the London Tavern.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who had
kindly undertaken to preside on the occasion, took the
chair at 12 o'clock. In his address to the meeting,
' which was numerously attended, his Royal Highness
explained the nature and the purpose of the meeting,
viz., the adoption of certain resolutions respecting the
manner of the management of the charity and the elec-
tion by the governors of a certain number of' members to
fill the vacancies occasioned by the outgoing, as p 0-
vided by the statutes of the irstitution, of certain mem-
bers of the committee. His Royal Highness congratu-
lated the company on the improved state of the affairs of
the hospital, which had enabled the committee to acquit
all debts which had formerly hampered them, and on the
final cessation of those unfortunate dissensions which at
one time seriously threatened the existence of the Ger-
man Hospital. A series of resolutions, by which the
thanks of the Court were given to the treasurer, the
vice-treasurer, the chaplain, the secretary, the physicians,
and the surgeons of the institution, was next proposed
by the Royal Chairman, and passed by the unanimous
vote of the assembly, and 10 new members of the com-
mittee having been elected, a vote of thanks to his Royal
Highness was moved by Mr. Sieveking, and passed by the
enthusiastic assent of the meeting, which then broke Ue
ROYAL HIGHLAND SCHOOL SOCIETY.—The
anni-
versary festival of this institution was held on Wed-
nesday evening, at the Freemasons"ravern, when
nearly one hundred gentlemen dined together, the
Duke of Argyll in the chair. In proposing " The
Health of . the Queen" the chairman said that he
knew, from personal observation, that her Majesty was
the best Queen who had ever sat on the throne of that
kingdom, and Ns ho was most anxious to fulfil the duties
of her high station. She had always manifested the
deepest interest in the welfare of her people. When-
ever she could withdraw from the imperative
duties of state, she always seized the opportunity
for endeavouring to promote the welfare of
her Scotch subjects. On all occasions, and at
all times, she was most anxious for the prosperity of the
Highland School Society, and he was therefore sure that
all true-hearted Scotehmen would readily unite in drink.
ing, "Health and Long Life to her Majesty the Queen."—
(Applause.) The Duke successively gave—" The Queen
Dowager," " Prince Albert,"" The Prince of Wales, and
the rest of the Royal Family ;" as also " The Army
and Navy ;" in reference to the last of which toasts
he said that he was desirous of giving all honour
to those persons who belonged to either branch of the
defensive services; and he would say, " God speed and
long live the men who, in the army and navy, fought
at the command of duty, and maintained the rights of
their Queen and country."—(Cheers). "Prosperity to
the Highland Schools " having been drunk, the Duke
of Argyll said that, among the many charitable institu-
tions which abounded in that country there was not
one which, with so small amount of means, coaferred
such lasting and durable benefits upon Scotland.
The Health of the Chairman " and other cus-
tomary toasts having been given, his Grace
withdrew amidst the warmest plaudits of the company.
The Secretary then read the report of subscriptions,
amongst which were announced, her Majesty, 504 ;
Queen Dowager, 10 guineas; Lord Drumlanrig, 10 gui-
neas; Duke of Argyll, 251., annually; J. Baines, Esq.,
10 guineas ; Dr. Cumming, 5 guineas; Dr. Stubbing, 5
guineas ; J. Forbes, Esq., 5 guines. The party was
enlivened by several Scotch songs from the Misses Birch
and Mr. Cooper; the performances of Mackay, her Ma-
jesty's piper, and by the sword dance, performed in a
most exquisite manner by a young Scotchman.
CANADA COMPANY.—The half-yearly meeting of
the court of proprietors was held yesterday, Charles
Franks, Esq., governor, in the chair. A statement was
read of the amount of sales and leases of land made by
the company up to June 7, from which it appeared that
1,751 acres of Crown reserve and Huron tract lands bad
been sold at au average of 14s. Bd. per acre, and 25,338
acres had been leased, making a total of
27.089
acres
disposed of. 'I he receipts of the company inbanadaaueps
to the 9ih June amounted to 12,6251. 10s. 11d., a sum
short of the income from the same sources dcouoringTthhee
corresponding period of taAt year by about 4 , e f
Chairman attributed this diminution to the operation o
causes to which he bad alluded at the meeting in 3tlay
last—viz., a state of unparalleled distress in Canada
during eighteen months, the failure of the timber trade,
the commercial panic in Europe, and the unusually large
importation of goods from England in 1845-6. Still the
directors recommended the payment of the usual divi-
dend of six per cent. clear of income-tax for the half-
year ending lOila July next, for which purpose it would
be necessary to borrow a sum of 8.000/. There was due
to the company a sum of 185.0001., secured on the set-
tlers' land, which was increasing in value daily, and
their interests would be advanced by the approaching
introduction of railways, one having been already
designed between Halifax and Quebec. It would be
their policy, therefore, not to sell their land, but to let it
on leases for a term of ten years, and they might expect
that the deficiency which, on an average of the last four
years, amounted to about 14,0001. per annum beyond
their income, would be shortly made up. The proposal
of the directors, being approved of by the proprietors,
was put, and carried unanimously. The meeting then
separated, after having passed the usual vote of thanks
to the Chairman.
Another grand fete will take place shortly in aid of
baths and washhouses for the poor, under the same ex-
alted and distinguished patronage which was given to the
fete at Willow Bank, last year, for the same object.
THE WAY TO PAY Texes.—A woman named
King was fined 10s. end costs at the Police-court
yesterday, for throwing a bucket of dirty water over one
of the new collectors of parish rates, who had the im-
pudence to apply to her for a payment of taxes...._Liyer.
