• RICHLAND SOCIErt

•
This Institution celebrated its fifty-first Anniversary
Festival yesterday, at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-
street. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex pre-
sided. There were also present—
Lord Binning, Mr. Secretary Canning, Sir James Mackintosh,
General 'Corner, Sir R. Ferguson, Sir Peter Laurie, Mr. Downfe,
N. P. Dr. Morrison, Chinese Missionary ; and several other Gen-
tlemen of distinction.
After the cloth was removed, Benedietns, the Win-
chester grace, was sung by Messrs. BROADIIVIIST, Gout-
DEN, PHILLIPS, and Master Smurn. The Royal CHAIR-
MAN then gave—
" The King, Got, bless him ;" three time, three.
" The Duke of York, and the rest of the Iloval
" The Navy and Army."
Mr. Secretary CANNING rose and said, that the ar-
rangements of the evening imposed upon him the
pleasing duty of proposing to the company the health
of their illustrious and Royal Chairman. His cares had
not been confined to this Society alone; but he was cons
vinced that they would be the prouder of this, rather
than jealous of not monopolising the whole of his pa-
tronage. His Royal Highness possessed many claim..
upon II cir gratitude and affection. The son of George
the Thi:d could not be indgFs: ent to the diffusion of e-
ligion—(Losd cheers). The brother of George the
Fourth could not be insensible to the affectisns of Scot-
land. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by pro-
posing the health of their Royal President, the Duke of
Sussex—(lt(7pin; ow cheering).
The Duke of SUSSEX, in returning thanks, begged
first to express the gratification he felt at witnessing the
numerous attendance on the present occasion ; it gave
one courage to advocate the cause of the Charity, and
it did honour to the exertions of the Stewards. lie felt
indebted to the Right Honourable Secretary of State
for the manner in which he introduced his name. his
Royal Highness's object in every pursuit of life had
been to preserve the links which connected the highest
and the lowest classes at society. The old proverb said,
that " charity began at home," and we best consulted
our own interests by promoting the interests of those
about us. As the Right Honourable Secretary had al-
luded to the affections of our most gracious Sovereign
towards Scotland, he trusted that he might be allowed
to express a hope, that ever since the grace of his Royal
Father had conferred upon him his second title, he had
not forgotten his duty to Scotland. He had often had
occasion to address a Scottish assembly, and he had fre-
quently said, as he had declared upon one particular and
interesting occasion before Flora Macdonald's son, that
he considered the political offence of the Highlanders
a venial offence. They had shewn that if Charles came
amongst them defenceless, that was a sufficient motive
for them to stand up and defend him ; and for this feel-
ing he honoured them. His Royal Highness then en-
tered into a history of the Society, with its objects and
advantages, which he advocated with much zeal and
ability, and concluded by proposing "Prosperity to the
I nsti tut ion"—(Applause).
His Royal 1-highness called upon Mr. Broadhurst to
sing John Anderson, my Joe, John, which that Gentle-
man sang accordingly, in a very delightful manner.
The Royal Duke then rose and said, it was his duty
and pleasure to remat k, that the Right Honourable
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, who had been
hitherto an alien to them, had come forward to lend
his support to this Institution ; thus devoting the few
moments which remained to him from business to ob-
jects of philanthropy—a circumstance which must afford
gratificatign to every well-wisher of his country. He
did not. observe that his name was amongst the list of
Vice-Presidents ; but he hoped Lis name would soon be
there. As many as wc:c of that opinion (that is be in-
serted in the list of Vice-Presidents) would say, " Aye."
(There was a burst of acclamation, and a cry of"
Hi Royal Highness concluded by proposing " the
health of the Right Honourable George Canning, one o.
then Vice-Presidents." (Long continued cheerk).
Mr. CANNING, in returning thanks, did not know
whether to feel more indebted to the Royal President
for the manner in which he had proposed his name, ear
to the assembly, for the manner in which they had re-
ceived it. He came amongst them as a stranger—he
would not say an alien, for lie was afraid of reviving a
discussion which had taken place elsewhere, although
his Royal Highness seemed to take a malicious pleasuic
in chewing him how aliens were received amongst them.
He had iieser been in Scotland, but still he wars not an
alien to Scotland ; he was now incorporated amongst
the Officers of their Society. The Right Honourable
Secretary then expressed his happiness at having suc-
ceeded to the administration in time of peace, instead
of hostility, and concluded by again returning thanks.
—(Loud applause.)
The Royal Chairman then proposed—
" Lord Binning, and the Nobility of Scotland."
Lord BINNING returned thanks.
His Royal Highness, in a complimentary speech, pro-
posed—
, " The health of Sir James Mackintosh and the Vice-Presidents."

Sir JAMES, in returning thanks, alluded to the happy
effects of this free Constitution, owing to which mem-
bers of all classes and all parties were collected toge-
ther, without foregoing a jot of their own opinion,,.
a native Highlander, he felt the greatest rride in be-
holding a member of that family whose throne was
founded on liberty—at seeing the most eloquent Minis-
ter of the Crown, of whom he could say, even in his
presence, that he was trusted by his friends as then
most potent advocate, and respected by his opponents as
the man whom they would have chosen for their head ;
to say that seeing them come forward now afforded him
• pleasure, would haxdiy express his fceling3 on the sub-
ject. The lion. and Leatned Gentleman then pro-
flounced an eloquent appeal on behalf of the charity.
" Proeperity to the City of liondon."—"l h- Church of Scotlantl."
o
The Rev. Mr. WATsos; returned thanks, and entered
into
number statement
the recessity extending; the
fschoolts.o shew

" Sir Peter Laurie, the new Knight; and may he long enjoy his
newly acquired honours."—Sir Prraa returned thanks.
Mr. CANNING, in a short complimentary speech, pro-
posed the health of Alajo:--General Turner. •
The gallant General, in retaining thanks, congratu-
lated his country on the interest which the Royal Chair-
man evinced on behalf of the Institution; and on. the
union of two great political rivals in its cause.
The next tu3st was—" Mr. Llounie, np." who returned
thanks; and sang Maegy Lawler.
It was followed Sy " The Minister,: of the Church of Scotland,"
The Secretaries," " The Land of Cakes, and " The Stewards."
The Royal Duke then left the chair, and retired amidst loud
plaudits; which were redoubled, and accompanied by a buzz; as
Mr. Canning passed out. •
hirJAZILI Idsccurrosn presided for the remainder of the evening.
