	Highlands & Islands Emigration Society - HMS Hercules 1853
		HMS Hercules, 74, ultimately destined to become a floating barracks at Hong Kong during the sickly season, is now in the harbour of Campbeltown, at the entrance of the Firth of Clyde, receiving emigrants aided by the society, by an arrangement which they have made with the Admiralty and the Colonial Emigration Commissioners.
		The Hercules sailed from Campbeltown on December 26th and, after contending in vain for five days with adverse and boisterous weather, she anchored off Rothesay, in the Isle of Bute, where she is awaiting a favourable wind.
		The toast of "Captain Baynton and the officers of HMS Hercules," was drunk with great cordiality and was followed by various toasts having reference to the benevolent object of the meeting.
