Mr. Esson ; the col- lection amounted to the large sum of J635. In the evening, about 150 members and guests^ dined together in Rasoo's Hotel. Daring the month of December, the package contahi- ing the Flags, &c., ordered horn Edinburgh, arrived at New York, not having been got ready in time to come oot by way of the St. Lawrence. It was consigned to a Mr. M*Leod, who, however, declined taking charge of it, and it was consequently deposited in the Custom House Stores. This proved a moet fortunate circumstance, for a few days afterwards, the memorable fire broke out, which destroyed an immense number of buildings, and amongst others, Mr. M*Leod*B stores, from which scarcely any property was saved. An application was made by the Secretary to the Government of the United States, explaining the cause of our Flags and Banners having been sent by way of New York, and praying that as they were not for sale, nor intended to be used in any part of the United States, we might be allowed to take them into Canada withont paymg any duty. This re. quest was at once, and In the handsomest manner eom* plied with* A simihur petition was preferred to the Earl IS 4)r Gotford, then GoTemor General of Caaedai with the tddition that the inititation waa adelj a eharitable one» and that if the heaTj daty of tl! if per eent. waa ei* aoted, it wonid in faot be taken from the poor, aa it would dimlniih the fanda to that eitent. Hb Lordihip refnied, however, to oomply with the prayer of the So- ciety, and the fall doty wai exacted. The fermon preaohed hy the Re?. Mr* Eeeon on the Annivenary FeatiTal, waa printed at the reqneet of the Memben. At the Qaarterly Meetinf; in Febniary» 1886, a letter firom Mr. George Robertion of the Regiater Hooee, Edin- borghy wai read, tranimitting the invoioe of the Flagi, &e., and detailing hii ezertiona in procuring them. Thanks were onaniraouily voted to Mr. Robertion for his kind and gratuitous seryices, and he was elected an Honorary Member by acclamation* The Rer. Mr. Esson again brought forward and urged the adoption of his proposed amendments to the Conati* tution, particularly the establishment of a Register Office for servants. A long and animated discussion was raited by this proposal, and it was finally agreed to authorise the Standing Committee to make the experiment of an Office of the description alluded to. By invitation from the St. Patrick's Society, thia and the other National Asaociations accompanied it in pro* cession to the Roman Catholic Cathedral on the 17tb March,— St Patrick's day. At the Quarterly Meeting in May, the Standing Com* mittee reported that they hkd established a Regietry Office in accordance with their instructioni. The appli* cations for servants had been exceedingly nnmerousy amounting to above ^W9 hundred, but only two servanta had applied for placea, and it appeared on enquiry that veiy few Scotch persona would become servanta, and the I ' 14 iimited AnmtMr who did, had no diffiooltj in obUinlnf plaeea. Ai the eipenie of the Office woald be eboot j650 per annum, the Committee did not reoommend the continuance of it, and the Meeting concurring in opinion with the Committee, the office wae diacontinoed. An application from the pereona who had hitherto aoted aa pipera at the proceationa and dinnera, to be appointed ** Pipera to the Society,*' waa agreed to. At thia meeting the namea of 79 of the .original Sub* acribera of the Conatitution were atruclL off the roll for non-payment of their feea. The Secretary, Aasietant Secretary, and Treaaurer. having procured at their own coet, and from a deaign of their own, collara of green velvet embroidered with ail- ver thiatlea, propoaed that the other Office-bearera ahould procure aimilar onea, but the meeting decided that theae were too ezpenaive, having coat JC6 lOa. each, and it waa finally agreed to procure them with only one thiatle, and that the ezpenae ahould be borne by the Society ,-*the price waa limited to £2 lOa. each. At the Auguat Quarterly Meeting, the Preaident an- nounced the receipt of a letter from the Right Hon. the Eail of Dalhousie, ezpreaiing the gratification he felt at being elected an Honorary Member ot the Society, and preaenting to its funda the princely donation of onb hun- DaED POUNDS aterling, requesting that it might aid in the. relief of such of our fellow countrymen as might arrive on our ahorea in distress, from whatever cause. A vote of thanks waa paaaed by acclamation to the Noble Eatl for hia great liberality, and the President was requested to ezpresa the high feelinga of gratitude, admiration and eateem the Society entertained for his kindness. Mr. Edinonstone, the Secretary, preaented in the name of hia brother, Archibald Edmonatone, Esq., of Stirling* two very handaome snuff-mulla, one a aheep'a head with 15 homi eomplttoi mounted in iil?«r, with a boi for tht •Doff in tht centra of the forebeed— the other t single bom, tlao monnted In lil? er, both had itiitable inierfptiona and wtra accompanied with all the utaal aparatot. A ?ote ofthanka waa paved to Mr. Edmonitone for hli very bandaome preaent, and he waa by acclamation elected an Honorary Memberi and the Secretary wai requeited to aommunieate to him the Soeiety*a gratitude for this iu- atance of hia generoaity. A Sub.Committee waa appointed to alanine the Flaga, Bannera and Traneparenciee, reeeifed from Cdinbargb« and from their report it appeared that tome of them bad received damage on the f oyage out, and aleo that the deaigne of the Bannera of '* Caledonia,** and ** an ancient Caledonia,^* were not euch aa they approved of— it waa therefore agreed to have thoee repaired which had received damage, and that in place of the two bannera which were diaapproved of, one new banner of Caledonia be proeared to matoh with the banner of St. Androw preaented by the ladiea. A dieooieion aroae aa to the fond from which thia new banner ihoold be paid. Mr. E*dmonatone olijectod to the Ainda of the Inetitution being diverted from their origi- nal pnrpoae, which waa charity alone, and propoeed that a aubacription be raised to defray the ezpenae of thia ban- ner, and to indemnify ai far aa poeiible the amount taken to pay for the Flags and Bannera received from E!dinburgh« This motion waa carried, and collectora appointed with ordera to report at the next meeting. At the November Quarterly Meeting the report of the Committee of Management, stated the amount dispensed in charity during the past year by the Standing Com- mittee, to have been X89 18s 9d, in addition to which there waa expended by vote of the Society J65, making £94 iSa 9d.

Dr. Matbieaon. In the evening, about 130 of the Membera and their gneati dined together in Raaco*s HoteL The sermon preached by Dr. Mathleaon, was printed at the request of the Members. The usual Quarterly Meeting was called in February, 1837, but enough of Members did not asaemble to form a quorum. In the month of March, 1837, a report appeared in the newspapers received from Britain, and was copied into those of this country, announcing the death of the Earl of Dalhousie. A meeting of the office-bearers waa immediately summoned, and notice issued to the mem* bers generally requesting them to go into mourning for thirty days. On the 17th March, while the Society in deep mourning was accompanjiog the St. Patrick's As. sociation to Church in celebration of ita Anniversary, in. telligence came to town by a later arrival from Britain that the report was untrue, the Noble Earl being in (he enjoyment of his usual health. 18 It » • 4 7 Bl 16 9 15 76 16 9 ng to the n On Moiidty, ih^ Uih April, Iht floeitty by iBfttation ■eoomfMnied ih« 8t.

The Meeting then proceeded to the election of Office- Bearers for the following year. On the 6th November, 1637, the finit act of the reM. lion which had long been threatened, tools place by . « oollision between some of the ** FiU de la Liberte," and the British reeidents of Montreal. Tbie wae followed immediately by a very general rising throughout the Districti and the Government at once found it neceesiry to call on (he loyal population for assistance to maintain possession of the country. The membere of the St. An- drew's Society being all loyaliete were immediately pot under arms, and performed military duty. Barricadee were erected at the different outlets of the city, and the utmoet vigilance exercised to prevent internal surprise, which at the time was as much to be dreaded as dange' from without.

The meetiDf proceeded to the eleetion of Offioe*Bear- ere for the followinif year, and the uinal obeer? anee of the Annifenary wae reaolred on. On the 30th Mofcmber, the Society walked in procee- aion to St. Andrew*a Churchy and heard an excellent aer- mon preached by the Rev. Dr. Mathleion. In the even- ingi about ninety Memben and gueita dined together in Raeeo'e Hotel. The uiual Quarterly Meetingi in February, May, and Aoguit, 1841, were summoned, but there were not euffi- oient Members present at any of them to form a quorum, A Special Meeting of the Offioe-Bearers was sum* moned on the 30th September, 1641, to take mto con* sideration an application made by Mr« Morris, President of the Emigration AsiociatioB of the District of St. Francis, ibr some pecuniary aid to a body of 389 desti- tute Emigrants who bad recently arrived from the leland of Lewii^ (ScotiandO and wiio were then supported chiefly by the contributionB of the charitable inhabitants of the town of Sherbrooke and its neighborhood. Mr. Morris' letter intimated that without ether assistance was received, it would be impossible for these Emigmnts to outlive the winter, as they were in a etate of ^.tter des- titution, and the inbabitaBts of the township eould net support so large a number of persons from their own un« aided iwoniMt. The meetinf decided tlitt the Coneti- tmionof the Society piohihited them from epplyingite fbndf to ioeh an ohject ae the pietent— it did not appear to aothoriie the grantin|f of relief from ite fonde except to caeee of deetitation in the eity | hot ae this caM ap- peired of an urgent nature, and one partieularly calling for adei'jtance, Menri. Hew Ramsay and Neil M'Intoah were appointed to collect aubicriptiona on behalf of the emigrant!. Thia Committee acquitted iiaelf with great diligence and auccesa, having collected the large amount of je334 14a. 6d,, the whole of whieh waa, at diflfbrent timee, remitted to Mr. Morria, and expended by him in their aopport. Lettera were iceoired ttom Mr, Morria, expreaaing the gratitude of the emigranta for thie large and timely aid which waa principally the meana of keep- ing them from atanration. The whole of theee Smigraiil^ are now in eaay eircumataneea. The nanal Quarterly Meeting waa held on the 11th November, 1841. The aocounts preaented by the Stand- ing Committee, atated the amount diapenaed by them in oharity during the paat year to baye been ..J689 1^ 6 in addition to whieh the Treaaorer had paid by vote of the Society 12 "ToiTi The Treaaurer*a accounta exhibited a balance in hia handa, amounting to 626 11 4 And the number of Ordinary Membera on the roll ap- peared to be 206. Mr. Allan gave notice that at the Annual Meeting in November next, he would propose an amendment to the Conatitntion to the following effeot :— ** That the taak of collecting all moniea due to the Society devolve on the Treaaurer, and that the Secretary be no longer charged with that doty, but will be required to fumiah the Trea< surer on the lat April in each year, with a complete liat ,/l 24 of all the Membera, in order Ihtl he may lend to them for payment of their labaeriptiom; and immediately on th^ eleetion of any new Member, the SeereUry will be re. quired to notify the aame to the Treaiarer in writing.*' On the 30th No? ember, the Sooiety walked in proeee- eion to St. Gabriel Street Church, where a very imprea. eif e ditoourae was addroMed to them by the Re? . Mr. EMon. In the evening, aboat 60 Membera and gueata dined together in Orr'a Hotel. The Quarterly Meetinge in Febraary and May, 1843, were duly aummoned, but enough of Membera to eonati- tute a quorum wae not obtained. A Special General Meeting wae called on the 16th May, to ooniider an invitation from hii Worahip the Mayor of the city, for thia Society to form part of a pro- ceiaion which waa organiaing to receive Hia Excellency SirCharlea Bagot, the Governor General, on his arrival in town from Kingeton. Much disinclination was expressed by many of the Members, that the Society should join or form part of any political procession whatever, but as it was stated that all the other charitable Associations had agreed to the proposal, it would have appeared Invidioua •in this Society to refuse. The proposal was therefore concurred in, and the procession took place on the 21st May. On the 8th of July, 1842, a very melancholy accident occcurred on Lake St. Louia. A small -high pressure steamer called the Shamrock, burst her boiler shortly after leaving Lachine. The force of the steam blew the bow completely rut of the boat, and she almost immediately sank. About sixty passengers (chiefly emigrants) were drowned, and the survivors lost all their property. Amongst the latter were some Scotch emigrants, on whose Account an appeal waa made to the St. Andre w*a Society* but the same reason that prevented the application of ita IS And* lo iHlit the L«wto«migniilt« ttppMeti to tliii eMd •lfo« A Mibitription wairll^Mfora e^mnci d mwmn the U mi kt tmwi^ othwn; rod tiie io« of £$\ lU 94 railed, which wai lent to the Re?.
