The following account of thefestivities at Guelph, on
the 12th inst. have been forwarded us by a friend
GURLPH ANNIVERSARY. •
The 12th of August being the anniversary of the
commencement of operations by the Canada Company
at Guelph, as well as the birth day of our beloved So-1
vereign, was celebrated at that place with much spirit
and feeling. The morning was ushered in by the firing
.cif guns. music, Ike. which continued at intervals through-
out
the day. Flags were hoisted at the principal inn
and market-house, and at an early hour the. different
approaches to the city,particularly the celebrated avenue,
ptesented a most lively appearance, from the various
.gfoups of settlers, who with their wives and daughters,
dressed in their holiday clothes, came flocking from the
sinonnding townships to the scene of festivity—their
countenances beaming with the anticipation of capected
enjoyment. •
' At six o'clock a most superb banquet. comprising
every delicacy of the season, was served up in the new
tinintion of JOHN GALT, Esq. which was opened for the
occasion. Three elegant apartments, communicating
by folding doors, displayed a range of table sufficiently
cbpatious for the accommodation of above forty Gen-
'deafen. Oa the removal of the cloth, the worthy lino,
,
stipported on his hand by James Buchanan, Esq..
ThiCish Consul at' New York, and on the left by the Rev.
371 t. jsheed, gave the following toasts r
" The King—Goa bless him." For times lam.

of the official rank held by. the noble personage,*

• • 'Mi. McCono, as a member of that society, in a very
animated speech returned thanks. and assured the Gen-
tlemen present that he should have much happiness in
conveyinrt to that body so gratifying an expression of
the sentiments entertained towards them by their friends
in Upper Canada.; pledging himself at the same time
upon all occasions to use his utmost exertions for the
benefit of the new society, by forwardlng from time to
time any important communication the Lower Canada
Institution might command.
Mr. SMITH, of the Canada Company, who has but
lately arrived from England, felt it a duty incumbent
on him to express his astonishment at the rapid growth
and prosperity of the new settlement, and on that ac-
count would propose—
