'1 he Duke KENT then rose. In an elegant and
forcible speech, his ROM Highness recalled the
origin and objects of the Institution. It was in 1800.
that this Charity, intended for the support of Scotei
tish orel,ans whose fathers had,fallen in battle, in the
lievy ur Army of tl sir country, had commenced,
and it &re him great satisfaction to perceive, that
the worthy founder, Mr. *Arthur, had favoured
the company with his presence. His zeal in the cause
ri
of the helpless children r f his countrymen entitled
him to the applause of every feeling heart. The ex-';
ertions made by Scotland in the same cause reflected •
the highest • credit upon that gallant nation. They
were the mote remarkable when it was considered
that Scotchmen abounded in greater numbers than
any other class of their tellow-subjects, in his Ma
jury's sea and land service, whilst their country was
i.ss populated than any other part of the United
Kingdom. The whole population tit Scotland, in
fact, did rot exceed that of the three metropolitan
cities. The original intention of the fauuder had
been, that £30,000 should be the minimum with
wit eh the undertaking should cotstmency, and pre-
viously to the first Inciting a sum of te15,000 had
'heady been subscribed, to promote the objects of
the Institution. The success of their exertions had
beer' Imesa tripled, until the battle pf IVaterloO had
given a e'lirent turn to the course of charitable con-
tributions. At that period, the Directors, contem-
plating the more imperious calls produced by that
wernorable event, had thought fit fur a time to rest
upon their oars. The purposes of that subscriptiOn
hay ng a tw been accomplished, they again deemed
it advisable to invite the friends of Caledonia to me-
th/tibia their efforts, in order to eaabk them to pro-
secute the benevolent object of the Instittion...
h gave him considerable pleasure to remark, that

the spontaneous oeerings if tbajkitis nation "Muhl
require no *stimulus: As trScottish Colonel, te felt
it his peculiar'pride' to consider himself as forming a

Highness then expressed his acknowledgments for
i the attention with which his obseriations had been
ofreevveivaedte,ri and cwonheicluhdevid byoo,asdprolioswinigthe
th loud and res-
, peated acclamations.
The Right Hon. GDOBOE ROSE proposed the
health of his Royal Hi/glten the Duke of Kent,
which warreceived with the most unbounded ap-
plause, and drank with three times three. His
Royal Highness returned thanks in the mostgracious
manner.
The health of his Royal Highness the Duke of
Sussex was then given by Mr. Foam, and drank
with.the same demonstrations of approbation and re-
spect, upon which the Duke of RENT expressed, in
the name of his Royal Brother, the regret which he
felt at being unable, from indisposition, to attend the
Meeting, and the assurance that the Institution had,
at all times, his warmest wishes for its success. He
then observed that Gentge Clark, the gallant Piper
of the 71st, who had so nobly continued to animate
his conntrymen, whilst he lay seriously wounded in
the fi,:lcl of Waterloo, was present in the room, and
would give the company a specimen of his national
melody. His Royal Highness expatiated at consi.
cligAble length on the merits of the Histhland Society.
wnich had heen the mein spring of the Cal..donian
A,yluria. He explained the pa 1 ociples of that respect-
. bee Charity, which was intended for the relief of
those worn out by age and infirtinti.., and to provide.
for their return to their native home ac. mment
ed on the benefits of the HiAlii ind Society for the
promotionct Christian Knowiedge, which, he ob-
set ved, was busily occupied in extending the blesshigs
of education throughout every part of Caledonia.--
He concluded by earnestly rec,lnthehding each of
these Charities to the support and encouragement of
the Meeting.
Thq health of the Vie.:-Presidents of the Corpora-
tion was then proposed by the Royal Chairman, and
drank with three times three, upon which Sir Anna.
BALD KACDoNALD addressed the company in an ap.
propriate speech, and returned thanks in, his name
and that of his colleagues.
Upon the Corporabou of London being drank—.
Mr. Sheriff Brut., in acknowledging the cumpli.
mein paid to the City, expressed the high opinion he
entertained of the industry of the Scotch people, slid
stated, as a remarkable fact highly creditable to that
nation, that in the 10.000 beggars daily infesting the
metropolis, there were. according to the Meridicity
Report of the House of Commons, not more than
one hundred Scotchmen.(Lard iwdomie.)
The health of 46 The Directors of the Corporation"
was given from the Chair.
Mr. WILLIAM DOUGLAS, as ene of the Directors,
returned thanks to the I levting, and enforced upon
them the necessity of obtaining genera subscriptions.
fie eloquently observed that the proudest monument
they could raise to the ashes of men who had !alien
in their country's battles, would be generosity to then
children. Their forefathers had been deprived of ,41
but the recollectiol of their faith and achievements ;
and the brig-hr.,: ,:onsolaiiots which could flow ti,
given to lb,. .ag moments of the soldier, was vie
cheerie. . .uiance that his children would be adopted
:. country_( Lord cetera.)
Oil the health i.t cie Stewards Elect being given,
Mr. MACAktliLit returned th.stias, and paid a 1„ g„
tribute to tile Asasci :non.
The health of the Secretary was dies proposed by
Sir A. AIAkIhn.ALD, who entroduted n with the
hieiest encomiums on the indefatigabre exertious and
meritorious coliduct of Just Geot.eman.
Mr. GALT expressed his gratitude in feeling terms
for the distinguished and altogether unexpected Cont.
pliment bestowed upon his et its.
! It was then stated, that 11917 had that
bean skontaneously subscribed, of which Rooeven;n wereg annual contributions. This intelligence was received
with the most enthusiastic applause.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Yost having.!
left the Chair, it was immediately filled fry the Duke
of ICEur,. who again addressing the Assembly, took
occasion to observe, that it was the intention of the
Conductors of the Caledonian Asylum, that the Chil-
dren should not be educated in the doctrines of any
particular Church; that the first point would be, to
teach them to love Con, to respect their Sovereign,
and to pay obedience to the laws ; and as it was al.
together unjust to impose any mode of faith upon
the infant mind, to which the parents did not sub.
scribe, and as the discipline of the Scottish Church
varied from our own, it eras considered most equitable
to leave them free to follow the tenet's of their national
establishment. He concluded by proposing the health
of his Royal Highness the Dike of Yoaa, with a
grateful acknowledgment for the ability with which
he had filled the Chair, and the seal he had at all
times manifested in the promotion of the objects of
the Institutigp. This health was drank with team.'
siasm. His -Royal Highness then left the Chair.
In the course of the evening. several toasts weret
drank, and, among others, " the Lady Presidents, and !
may Beauty and Benevolence ever be ; united," pro-
to
posed by the Duke of Kam who observed, that
Scotchnien, who were always so fond of the Ladies,
he aced not say, that this toast should be given whh
three times three—(Laufl applator.)
An Address to charity was spoken by Mr. Lee
Levin, and songs were introduced by the professional
singers. The company were also highly- gratified
with the performance of Grimm CLaan, the heroic
Scotch Piper, who played several national airs.
Amongst the donations announced were one of 100
guineas by his Royal Highness the Duke.of Yomx,
in addition to a forties subscription of the same
amount; annual donations of 20 guineas each from
the Dukes of KIST and Sussex ; and one of 25 gui-
neas from the Duke of Rozanton.
The Royal Dukes did not quit the Hall until past
eleven o'clock. Several persons continued in social
intercourse for a considerable time after; and a num.;
her of additional subscriptions were made in :hi'
course of the Hight.
The dinner and wines were excellent, and did great
credit to tie Host, as did also the dessert, alum%
which were some exceedingly fanciful devices in con-
fectionary, kn. Some representations of Scotchmen
climbing ramparts, scaling fortifications, tearing
down the Bags of the enemy and phnting the colours
of wit own re cot won really admirable.
