The anniversary festival of the Highlaud Society Vag
celebrated on Saturday evening, at the London Tavern,

diate vicinity of the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, when the cloth was removed, gave in
succession the healths of n The Queen
-" " The Queen
Dowager ;" "The Duke of Rothsay, and' the remaining
branches of the Royal Family." In prefacing this last toast
the Noble Chairman expressed his couviction that, at any
time, the company would be anxious to do honour to the
toast, but more particularly on that day, which was the an-
niversary of the birth of two members of the Royal Family,
namely, the.Duchees of Gloucester and the Princess Alice.
The toasts were drunk with the greatest enthusiasm.
The Army and Navy were next toasted; and then
The CllAMMANpeoceeded to advert to the benefits con-
ferred by the society ;which they had assembled to support.
Through its instrumentality and the munificence of the
contributors to its funds, 20,000 children were educated, who,
without their aid, would le've no means of education at
all. In conclusion, he proposed " The health of his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge (President of the Society),
and prosperity and perpetuity to the Royal Highland
Society."—(Cheers.)
The Earl of RoSEBERY gave " The health of his Grace the Duke of Richmond, and prosperity to the root tree of the
house of Lennox.".--(Cheers.)
The Noble CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and proposed
" The health of hie Majesty the King of the French," whose
name was enrolled amongst those individuals who had made
donations to the society.—(Cheers.) II e was worthy of this
tribute of their reipect, not only because he was a subscriber
to their funds, but also because he was a great man, who
thought that war should never be resorted to if it could be
avoided.
