TIIK 800711811 HOSPITAL. The objects of this charity are threefold. it affords assistance to natives of Scotland to:kb:tit in the me tropolis, or its wlate vicinity, wino nut being in nss ipt of parochial relief, woulil without its aid be exposed in age or poverty, io sickness or distress, to want or beggary ; tt tarnishes passages to their own country to such natives of &edamd rs thittlin4 the expectations with which they tame to London dissip• pointed, wish, but are unallie, to return thither; and it educates a limited number of children of Scotch parents. The Scottish Hospital is au establishment of a pretty respectable antiquity, and has it history not unworthy the attention oacical antiquaries. The institution derives its origin from a kind of benefit society, the existence of which van ix' hared bark to 1613, only ten years later than the aect , sion of James 1. to the English throne. we that event there was no Scotch innuirontion into London of any moment. In the eleven t h v ear of Queen Elizabeth, then were only s Scotsmen to be found in the %%hulk me- Iropolis. But the number of bluesbonneted Whit tington" who followed their king to the southern land id' promise was pretentious. It was not even one of them who valuta, like Ceorge Ileriut. enough to endow au ha:pitch in -Auld Weide." With true national foresight, and let us in ju,tiec add, with a praiseworthy spirit of independency, a few Scotch Journeymen associated themselves, to aid each other and ptevent their becoming aburdon upon straw ' yis. and they gave to their association the name of the Seoteli liox." The earliest records preserved are of the year 1620, but reference is made in them to the transactions of 1613. The association continued purely voluntary till alter the restoration of Charles 11. Small !ous were lent on bond to the poorer menibers, without interest ; aid was aihuded is sickness; and funeral expenses paid. From entries in the minutes we learn, that in It3', the amtpany numbered only 2U flambe's; and that it allowed 204. for funerals of those dying of the plague, and 30s. far others. In was the money in the box was minted in pre sence of the members, and amounted only to GIL 3s. od. In 1661 the quarterly disburszaients were :V. 4s. The contributors to Ale box appear to have been staunch loyalists: tor in 100-7 they met at " the King's Head (or, a (sir) garden." A charter of incorporation was obtained in 1064 from Charles 11, and a second conveyin.; extended privileges in 1676 from the sum monarch. The cor poration continued to act upon the,. charters till 1773. Assistance was confined originally to such natives of Scotland, resident in Loudon. as paid stated contributions. I fr. Gilbert Burnet, afterwards Bishop ot• Sali,bury, Walt , the tirst eh:unable or patrouisini ISUbSCHIN.T, and his first subseiietion ! U. half-yearly was pail iu 1682. The neees , ity ut e .ntrihuting. Io order to obtain a title to relief, WAS IRA diSpelltled With till after 1775. _ _ The year of the great plague severely tested the resources of the new corporation. but it strug.th.sl successfully through that terrible petiod. The art ut ingeniously raising the wind for charitable purposes appears to have made considerable progress even ut that comparatively earleriod. In 1087 the cor poration petitioned to " have the sale of three knight; patents;” and in 1088 we find it " ordered that th knight baronet's patent for England granted by hi-. majesty be offend at :AO guinenn, and the two Soots patents at 300 guineas each." Two appear to have been sold. The royal burgh-, of Scotland contributed 20W. in 1688; the regiments of Scots Guards contri buted in 1095; and in 169; the corporation obtained " a tally un births and meninges for 41111/." The great influx of Scotsmen after the Union ap pears to have brought a load upon the hospital under which it- resources broke down. As early as 1712 we find a committee reporting that they " had con sidered all the books of the corporation, and found them so intricat and iierpleat, that they judged es treiunly hard if at all possible to be ander%tond. - Matters Frew worse and ey.•rne till the new chat :cc was obtained in 1775, nor did they mend imme.li ately after that event. The rms. i ition of the tharitv was mainly due to the indefati_ tble (tietc .); the third Duke of Illontr3ss . who was pre-ident :a 17a2 to 1811. The list of active belief:a:Rs and promoters of the charity includes many rouarkable bcotsmen. Lan rdafe. the grim persecutor of the covenanters. rank- ls-ide the garrulous tutu good-natured Whig Bi,lop Burnet Drummond, the founder of the banking bow which still retains the name, and Campbell, the founder of Coats's, are among the number. Our main reason for thus inviting attention to the character and nature of the ScottiA hospital at pm sent is to have an opportunity of disa':using the Scotch residents of the metropolis of an erroneous belief that it is a wealthy institution awl indepen dent of assistance. The kinlueh fund of 76,-105/. in the Three per Cents., is limited in its application to poor and disabled Scotehmen in distre-s. wounded in the service of their country," and a Willi raised by subscription in India 30 years ago, which enables the corporation to expend 1001. per annum fur edu ' eatioual purpses, arc all its pennammt property. The do:a:mous and annual subscriptions are eau ally inadequate to meet the growing claims on the charity. If our Scotch readers in the metropolis will give themselves the trouble to inquire they will find that the institution has three :aeong e:aims upon them:- -la the first place it is managed with judg ment, impartiality, and intvglity. In talc second, by contributing to it thej will obtain the =OAS of saliating really distre countrymen, by a mode rate annual expenditme ' safe from the deceit of the professional " begging - l etter writ,r." Listly, the haidtal is an ancient and historical institution— a claim weaker, indeed, than the two former, but to which few men, and, we are sure, nu Scotsmen, have ever been insensible.

MINES. (rim the Daily Nees.) SATURDAY Evart The business in mining shares during the week has been of an unsuallylimitcd character, but not withsiairling the depressing influence exercised by the emnparative absence of inquiry, prices on the whole have been fairly supported, the instances of decline being few and unimportant. This is a Wry satisfactory feature wider the circum stances, and is mainly ascribable to the favourable accounts which continue to be received from most of ' the chief mining undertakings of the country. The meetings at this time awl during the month of June, arc always very numerous and important, and in vestins naturally hold back for the purpose of ob taining reliable information relative to the present position of the various adventures. Business is thus tireurnscribed, hut it is satisfactory to note that the asks adverted to in our lust weekly review, have not been prosecuted upon the same scale, all the other markets, save the railway shine market, in which exceptiaaat influencies have been in operation have shown a similar want of animation, this week having been. in many respects, a holiday one for business purpos.:*.

TO TU T.DITOU Or TOE vcruts!.. Sin,-1 was surprised to sec in your leading article of yesterday our remarks on the good management of the Miihand Railway. I don't know what it may be thought of in some parts of England, but in this county the Mid land Railway Company kis become quite a by-word -.Mid land Reilway time being synonymous with no time at all. I have no hesitation in say in that the Midland Railway is one of the worst-managed lines in England, let the other be whits it will ; and the tally wonder is, that accidents are not more frequent on it tn.at they are. No one seems to have any management or control over the trains—they in variably arrive too late. Take. as un instance, the brunch line running from this to Nottingham, sonic sevent, en miles in length. It is nut one time iu to n that the trains ar rive at the proper time, even on this short 'ranch, fre quently being half and sometimes one hour beyond time. Passengers ride just where they please, and iu fact du al most as they like, often takilec no tickets, and getting sway with, tut paying- gi ulna into ard-iclam carriages and pitying fur setiitiel, &e. It is a perwet miracle that no accidents have happened to passenger* on this branch. The gradients are very steep, and the last fray miles of the line into Mansliedd is out. continued scries of sharp curves, on a descent of übeut one in ninety, and pissing over a valley in one pl.:en by an old tram way bridge of live arches, which Rd% haul C comidt red unsafe even for horse. and coal wag vas to pass over, and so narrow that the carriages are within a Mw inches of the low puraiiet wall., and frequently with two enormous engines on it at the same time.

Aulticutztatm. wis IN IRELAN D.—Owing to the extremely favourable state of the weather in pro moting vegetation, the ear ly -sown crops have fully re cov.red from the eifecia of a late and harsh spring, and all the reports from the provinces give tine most encouraging accounts of the proapeet of on abundant harvest. It stems that the land has been far better and more extensively cropped than at any time since the famine, and that, not withstanding the enormous amount of emigration, much more land is under tillage. Less wheat is now sown than in former years , , but it has came up most vigorously; oats and barley have been very extensively planted; the breadth of land under potatoes is nearly an great as ever in many districts; and dux, which has been cultivated far and wide, promises exceedingly well, from the rain which fell so opportunely after the sowing had been completed. The rattle fairs all through the country still yield fairly remu nerating prices, especially for young stock. Even upon fat cattle there was a slight advance at Monernore and other fairs held during the past week. The correspondent of a Cork paper says: "The state of all growing crops in this district—l believe in this country—is most satisfactory. New potatoes, free from any appearmr-e of blemish, have been exhibited in town this wes k, and these of a more than ordi nary size at this early period.—The Cork Examiner says: " Potato plants, which some days ago looked in many places dry and withered, are now shooting up most vigor ously, cheering the prospects of the agriculturist, and giving strong hope, that the days of blight arc passed. This escu lent already is beginning to find its way into the market. Sir. Henry Courtayne has grown in the open air potatoes which are now full silted, and to all appearance as good • specimen of the root as could be espceted in the early ason of the good days of former years.' —The Limerick kip:atm' illustrate+ the drain of emigration by the following statement : " A eleti , :ieney of ahle.bodied labourers is felt in several parts of the country—so much m, that in some places turf cutting c innot be proce,:del with, and the result is an aopreliended scr.reity of fuel. We understand that in the neighbourhood of Oort there arc no labourers. In one night, about three weeks ago, no less than one hundred and twenty persons kit the estate of Loughcootcr, and pro ceeded to Limerick, Galway. and other ports to take ship ping for America! In the once populous village of Tome- Vlia, levelled to the irround this time two year., under the superintendence of a person of the name of Nilson, it is stated, by the relieving officer, that the-re is scarcely an able bodied labourer to be found."

In the Engli-h stock market prices continue on the rise. Business to-day, though not extensive, has ken of a satisfactory character, and incluthst a good sprinkling of orders for investment. whilst the dealers ut the same time evince more disposition to speculate for a further upward movement, not withst.mding the high figure to which the home stocks have now attained. The continued action of the government broker, in conjunction with the other favourable influences now in operation, is doubtless relied upon as a sum support to the market. Consols, which closed Saturday aftenwon at 97: for cash, and 971 to 1, for the 10th of June, have been dom. to-day as high as 981 for account, but they are at this moment quokd a shade lower, at 971 to 98 for money, and 98 exactly for time.

The Bank of England returns show the result of the alter2d state of the bullion market, and an in crease of specie has again taken place. We cannot say much as to rates far bullion, be cause Effie has been done in the marke: here latterly. There are lam., arrivals of specie, little special demand, and a disposition on the part of buyers to wait for a reduction in the rate of silver. The Paris market for silver is likewiseun the turn.

Au analysis of the railway traffic returns for the last week (published by Hrrapath'd Journal) shows the total receipts on 6.31)1 miles to be 271,507/,, which is equal to 431. per mile per week. For the corresponding period of 16.50, the amount was 219,7911., oa .5,743 Niles, or 43/. Ws. per mile per week. There is thus an increase in the aggro ate receipts of 21,7161., or 8.60 per cent., an increase in the mileage of .55S miles, or 9.69 per cent., and a decrease of 10s. in the am tout naivel per mile per wtek. The Railway Ti,:tla estimates the total traffic returned since the Ist °flannel y at 4,735,3t421., which, on 6,289 miles. is equal to 7421. 13s. 9d. per mile. Foe the same period last year the receipts on 45752. miles were 1,202,361 t, or 7.111. Os. .10. per utile. The balance is cense auently in favour of the present year to the extent of 111. 184. 90. per mile. Tile new concordat between Spain and the Pope contains MOM financial articles which have not per haps been much noticed. The Pope not only aban dons all claim to the convent lands alisaulv sold, but authorises tlt, sale of rho remainder, and the invest ment of the produce in Three per Cent. Stock. This stock will become tmtransfemble, or in the nature of an entail, but it is likewise said that the biddings for the lands an' to be in Three per Cent. stock. Ilse, this will give another preference to Three per Cent. stock, because a considerable sum being called for and taken out of the market, the price will in all likelihood rise. . . rhe 1111:Ve ,, :4 attendant upon the peat operations in Ireland, and the demand which has arisen in these markets for peat charcoal, has caused attention to be paid to its nr,nufactim in England. Perhaps the peat-bogs of England have been more neglected than those of Ireland, but there is a growing impression that their products are capable of utilisation. In Ireland, very naturally, the application of peat for fuel has claimed the most attention, but here, where the supply of coal is abundant, and its use general, and where even the artificial fads are chiefly com posed of coal, there is little opening for the manu facture of pat fuel. There is, however, another branch of application which has been eagerly seized upon, and that is the employment of peat charcoal in the preparation of manure. The competition to which the English farmer is subjected, has led him to great exertions, and has produced a large demand for artificial manures, as the immense trade, which has so suddenly sprung up in guano, proves. We cannot, however, but regret that so little is done for appropriating and mono miising our home supplies. It is, indeed, a lamentable thing to consider, that in this metro polis alone manure sufficient to grow corn for two millions of human beings is yearly wasted, without any efficacious step being taken to remedy such serious waste. The application of sewage manure for irrigation is a palliative of such partial appli cation as to afford nothing like an adequate remedy. While we imported guano front abroad in 18.50 to the extent of 116,926 tons, and at a cost of 1,000,0001., a much greater quantity of manure of equal quality was washed into the Thames to the detriment of the public health. Although no large measure is to be expected, it is some satis faction to find that the authorities have given encouragement to the British Peat Charcoal and Manure Company. The Duchy of Corn wall have made a grant of peat land on advantageous terms, and there is some prospect of obtaining convict labaur from the great Penitentiary on Dartmoor, and itmnediately after obtaining the net of parliament works are to be commenced at Dartmoor and other stations. We cannot, however, but think that in a subject of such importance the company should not be subjected to the delay of ob taining an act of parliament, but that a charter should at once be granted by the government, as there are no existing private interests which can be interfered with. It is likewise stated that the extent of pent land in this island is upwards of 2,000,000 of acres, affording material of the greatest value to apiculture if properly applied, and for which great encouragement ought to be given.

Our marke t continues to be well supplied, both coast wise and by rail ; trade is 'wry heavy, and, with every description of potato, prices hare a downward tendency. Coarse, second-rate samples arc nearly unsaleable at any figure.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.-THIS DAY. We have a few more Beasts than on Monday last, but the demand has equally increased, and we arc enabled to retain the quotations of that day. The number of Bbecp and Lambs is much larger, and the trade cannot be stated as good on the average as on Monday, but rather better than on Friday last. It in difficult, however, to effect a clearance. We have a short supply of good Calves they arc sold rather dearer. From Germany and Holland there are 13.3 Beasts, 1,340 Sheep, 114 Calves, and 18 Pig, Scotland, 300 Beasts; and 2,400 from Norfolk and Suffolk. ; Pe: Aisle 01411...

TILE TRIM LINEN TRADE.--WC are happy in being able to announce a slightly improved demand in our yarn market., wine of our spinners having received good orders for shipment to Germany. As the stock in tho hands of manufacturers is becoming light, and as the cloth markets arc beginning to assume a somewhat livelier ap pearance, with increased inquiry, the trade, there is reason to believe, will soon become more active and remunerative. Foreign accounts continue to exporters most unfavourable. In the United States business is very much depressed ; lawn handkerchiefs are said to have been sold at New York at prices which did not do more than cover duty and charges, and 4.4 bleached lineus were disposed of at ruinous rates. The only fabrics which have sold well this season are 8-4 diapers and damasks. We stated in our last notice, that several American agents had been over here looking con signments. These gentlemen, we understand, have not ob tained any, an impression existing that late auctions in the States were not boon {We, and mom than one of our Mr &auto being dispose, to have some litigation with regard to account sales which have been returned to them. -Ig , Balmer. larl.
