One small Pill is a dose, and the taking of one Box, its* recent

Yesterday, the Anniversary Dinner of the Asso-
ciation established -in London in aid of the Seciety
with the same title in Scotland, was celebrated at the
Albion Tavern, Aldersgate street. The Duke of
Sussex was in the Chair. His Royal Highneis was
supported on his right by the LORD MAYOR, and on
the left by Sir Wiradeza GRANT, late Minter of the
Rolls. The company was not numerotis, in conse-
quence of the absence from town of many of the
friends to the Institution. The novelty of the even•
in g was the introduction of a Highland bagpiper
full eniform; playing his native music on the appal)).
priate instrument of his native glens.
After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts IMPS
drink, the Royal. CHAIRMAN proposed success to
the " Society for propagating Christian Knowledge
in the Highlands and Wands of Scotland;' and prat-
faced the toast With a-short account o( the origin and
objects of the Institution. It was, perhaps, one df
the oldest, and had been one of the roost persevering
and, useful Institutions of the kind, that had origs-
nated in the benevolence and public spirit of this
country. Its object was to diffuse the blessings of
useful education and Christian instruction over genie
retired and cheerless districts of the North And Weft
of Scotland, where, while the people were igho-
rant and uninstructed, their poverty, and the scat-
tered nature.of their habitations, rendered the means
of instruction difficult to all, and totally inaccessible
to many. The Society took its rise in 1701. Its
funds and its views were at first very limited. It,
as now established, superintends by-its care, mid
aids, or wholly supports by its bounty, upwards of
SOO schools for teaching, the common elements of
knowledge, and 100 schools of inddstry. • At these
establishments about 20,000 receive the means of in-
struction ; and the total annual expeoditure, through
the medium of the Society, amounts to more than
.k5OOO. His Royal Highness, after detailing these
and several other facts, which formed the best eulp-
gium on the Society, recommended the state of its
funds to the attention of the company, and in a feel-
ing appeal called upon them for an additional con-
tribution, from a respect to the memory of his la-
mented brother the Duke of. Kent, who had so zea-
lously patronized its efforts, and pleaded its cause.
On " The Kirk and Clergy of Scotland' being
given, Dr. MACFARLANE, a Clergyman frOm Scdt-
fand, returned'thanks in a neat, sensible, and appro-
priate address, in which; from his peculiar sources of
information, be threw muchlight on the excellent
conduct and extensive usefulness of the Society.
When the Chairman gave the health of the Vice-
Presidents, Sir WILLIAM GRANT (who, together with
the Lord Mayor had been 'lately elected) returned
thanks in an sitipsesa!e-addseskand recommended,
is strong and discehnmating terms, the objects and
utility of the Institution.
. On tike health 'of the Treasurer arid Secretaries
being given, the former, in returning thanks, observed
thafhe had the pleasure to inform the Meeting that'
the contributions of the "London Sstbscriptiori_ last
year amounted to £250, and he had great hopes that
the present would prosluce a greater sum. He then
read over the nattuiknf the Syncribers, amongst
which were— - , ,

The announcement of the Subscriptions was re-
ceived with loud agd continued applause. •
J. THOMPSON, Esq. the Secretary, delivered .an
eloquent eulogium on the late Duke of Kent, and
expressed the high sense entertained by the Soiqty
of the advantages that would be derived from the
auspicious patronage of their present Illustrious
Chairman. He returned thanks on behalf of the So-
ciety to the Lord Mayor, Sir W. Grant, and the Vice-
Presidents, whose exertions were highly appreciged.

The evening was passed it) the utmost harmony.

Wednesday sennight a smart shock of an earth.
quake was experien‘ed at the Cove of Cork,sby whkch
the Guard-house at Flawlbowling was much shaken,
and several persons sensibly affected; it continued
about a minute; its effects were also felt in the vici-
nity of that place.
Monaca WAtrom—The long desired Octavo
Edition of the Private Correspondence of this emi-
nent Writer, just published, includes the whole of Isis
Letters hitherto discovered, comprising a period of
above Sixty Years, that is, from 1795 to 1797. They
have been arranged according to dates, by which the
interest and connection of events is uninterrupted ;
and the prefatory Index, in which the most strikin
subject of each letter is briefly noticed, Will facili-
tate the Reader's references; although nothing like a
perfect Index could be attempted where so many sub-
' jects are compressed into a single letter, and the most
trifling anecdote becomes important from the admi-
rable manner in which it is told.
LARGE lATTEIIB.—The folloWillic Letter, we Ito.
derstand, is authentic, and we insert It because it is
creditable to the friendly zeal of the Manager, and
to the modesty, as well as liberal feelings, s:f the
Writer : . • . •
