CALEDONIAN ASYLUM ANNIVERSARY

DINNER.

Yesterday having been the anniversary of this most ex-
cellent Institution, founded for the purpose of supporting
and educating the children of soldiers, sailors, and marines,
natives of Scotland, who have (lied, or been disabled
in the service of their country, and of indigent Scotch
parents, residing in London, not entitled to paro-
chial relief, a great number of its patrons and friends
sat (lawn to dinner at the Freemasons' Tavern. The
President, his Royal Highness the Duke of SussEx,
was to have taken the @lair, but was prevented doing so
in consequence of his lamented illness; in his absence it
was tilled by

His Grace. the Duke of St. ALBAN'S.—Hia Grace was
supported on his right by Lord Dundas, Sir Wm. Gordon
Cumming, Bart.. Sir Wm. Harris, &c. ; on his left by
Lieut-General Sir Fitzroy M'Lean, Bart., Major-General
Sir John M'Lean, &c. There were many other
personages present distinguished alike for their charitable
conduct on all occasions, and high rank in society ; but
the company, on the whole, was not so numerous as we
have had the pleasure of witnessing it on former occasions,
owing to the full attendance at the House of Commons last
night. Tlie gallery was filled with ladies, among whom
it was rumoured was the Duchess of St. Alban's, and wit°
has very handsomely contributed to the support of the
Institution. We regret that owing to the length of the
Parliamentary debates, we cannot give any thing like the
report we otherwise should have done, our reader-a, there•
fore, must he content with our briefly stating, that the
most gratifying accounts were detailed of the happy ad-
vantages of the Institution and its prosperous condition.
Many liberal additional subscriptions were given. The
children, dressed in Highland costume, marched repeatedly
round the room. The dinner was excellent—the wine
and desert might have been better. Among the toasts were—
The King, the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of Clarence, the
Patronesses of the Institution, and all the other branches of

the Royal Family ; the Highland Society, the Parent of
this Institution ; the Benefactors of the Institution ; the
Reverend Mr. Lees, Secretary; the Land o' Cakes, &c. &c.
The pleasure of the evening was greatly heightened by
the Highland pipes, an excellent band, and many favourite
songs, &c., by Messrs. Bellamy, Fitzwilliam, Goulding,
Chipman, and Master Smith. The hilarity was kept up
till a late hour.

The Duke and Prince GEottor: of Cumber.
land, and the Duchess of GLOUCESTFR, visited his MA-
JESTY yesterday, at his Palace in St. James's.
A female servant at Brislington was lately
charged with stealing a 201. note from her master, and on
a constable being sent for, she acknowledged that she had
rolled it up and swallowed it. An emetic having been ad-
ministered, the note was recovered uninjured.—Bath

INQUEST ON DR. JOHNSTONE.—The body
of the late Dr. Jonswroto3, of Dewsbury, which has been
missing for the last fortnight, was found in the River
Calder on Tuesday night. An inquest was yesterday held
on view of the body at the George Hotel, in Dewsbury.—
The Coroner briefly charged the Jury, when they re-
turned the following verdict at a quarter to nine o'clock :
That Dr. JonNsroh-R, on the 20th day of April, being
in a state of inebriation, wandered into the river Calder,
and was found drowned in the same river on the Gth clay of
Vijay instant. Nineteen of the Jurors were of this opinion.

We are happy to learn that the print-fields,
dye-works, and bleach-fields around Bonhill, on the water
of Leven, are in active operation, having as much to do as
they can undertake. About two months ago orders poured
in upon them so rapidly, that they were forced t) have
their works going night and day, having one sat of artists
for the day, and another at night. There are not only en-
largements made to many of the works, but a number of
new ones are getting up. One of the master: of one of
the fields finding himself sh'rt of hands for what is called
tearers, or children to stir the sieve for the printers, went
to a school in the neighbourhood, and in one day took
away thirty scholars to do his work ; and even some too
young for any school are employed at these works.-7-
