ROYAL CALEDONIAN ASYLUM.—A quarterly ge-
neral court of the governors and directors of this institu-
tion was held yesterday, at the Scottish Hospital, Crane
court, Fleet street. The chairman opened the business of
the meeting by observing that, in consequence of the in-
creasing number of children, both male and female,
Suther-
landfaonr and
1.-lately permitted to share in the usefulness of the asylum,
its funds, large as they were, were not adequate to meet
the additional claims. He was pleased to say that the
institution had now within its walls one hundred boys
and forty-five girls, all of whom are supported and
clothed, and

strength and durability of her hull and framework; and
it gives Lus pleasure to be enabled to state, upon the
authority :of a most experienced engineer, that so far
everything has appeared most encouraging for the
owners. She is quite safe and sound in her hull and
frames, not being shaken, strained, nor indicating in the
slightest degree anything that would lead to the suppo-
sition that her back had been injured whilst imbedded
in the sands of Dundrum Bay. Indeed, it is our opinion,
and that of many others who witnessed the position
which the noble vessel occupied in Dundrum, that even
not sheeting would have been but little injured, had it
not been for the " penny wise and pound foolish" system
adopted at first, while the vessel was under the command
of Captain Hosken. We allude to the injudicious man-
ner in which the coals were thrown under the ship's
sides, to be sold to the country people in half tons and
hundred weights. On more than one occasion
