I 5 , fr ages, he would use every exertion in his power and ~t,i b tles to promote its interests —(sipplouse). He re oa!ded it as an mere] and excellent charitable Insti tution. He could wish that his past endeavours had been attended tt ith effect ; he was sensible, at least, that they were received with kindness—(Hear, hear). — From the nature of his situation, he had been in every part of this kingdom, and he had always found Scotch men to be useful and respectable members of society. This was his first inducement to join this Institution, and as long as his services were acceptable or useful, he would be found ready to render - them. He should have, when he came to speak of the success of' the So ciety, a better opportunity of dwelling on its peculiar rosins, and therefote he would, for the present, content hiirself with saying, that as long as they did him the honour to continue him in the office of Ptesident, so long he hoped he should be found deserving of remains jo , in that situation—( Applause.) 'The next toast was, " The Wooden Walls of Old England."— " Rule, Britannia." Colonel HAMILTON said he rose for the purpose of proposing the health of het Royal Highness the Duchess ut CLARENCE. Her Royal Highness had manifested upon all occasions the utmost zeal to promote the ob jects of the Institution. He would therefore drink " Health and prosperity to her."— The toast was most warmly received, with three times three.— . Here's a health to all good lasses." The Duke of CLARENCE returned thanks on the part of her Royal Highness, and assured the company of the ~ n od wishes she entertained for the success and pro sreray of the Siciety. His Royal Highness concluded, be proposing the health of the Mike of MONTROSE, who for twenty-eight years fulfilled the office of Chair man of that Society. Tune—" Should auld acquaintance be forgot." Song—" John Anderson, my jo," by Mr. BROADHURST, who was encored. The ROYAL CHAIRMAN said he had been pleased at the encore that had just taken place, for he looked upon it as a national mat kof the feeling of the evening. To that national feeling he wished now most particularly to appeal, in behalf of those who had not been so for tunate in life as themselves, and he trusted that that appeal would not be the less successful for being made on the Anniversary of their Saint. The next toast he had to propose was connected with the Charity itself. That being the anniversary of their Patron, St. Andrew, he had no doubt that it would open the hearts of the Meeting, and induce them to contribute liberally to the support of an Institution, upon the objects of which !here could be only one opinion. It would be quite super ffuous now to enter into a history of the Corpora tion, and the grounds on which it was established. Oae great object was to give the advantage of instruction to those who could not enjoy the opportunity of education in the parish schools of their native country. The more the Institution was considered, the more it must be admired. He had heats! the Scotch reproached for a spirit of nationality; but so far from considering such a spirit matter of reproach, he thought it an advantage. The two countries had been so long united, that he could not admit any difference to exist between Scotchmen and Englishmen. In every psrt of the globe, whether in the torrid climes or the frozen regions of the North, Scotchmen were to be tound in the various pursuits of life, and they were senerally successful. But still there were exceptions; their were some who, without perhaps any fault of their own, were disappointed in their hopes, and needed the assistance of their countrymen. It was for such he pleaded, and he trusted he should not plead in vain. Ilis Royal Highness concluded by proposing the Scot tish Corps), ation, and success to it. " The Health, Welfare, and Prosperity, of the Scottish Hospital." This toast was drunk with three times three and loud applause.— Song, Mr. Taylor," Good old times of Adam and Eve." Toast—" The Vice-Presidents of the Scottish llospita" The toast was followed by a sung lions Mr. Phillips, " Who deeply drinks of Wine." Toast—" The Land Cakes."-Soug, Mr. Collier, " Home, sweet home." Toast—" The land we live in."—Tune, " Oh, the Roast Beef et Old England."—Glee, " Nlynheer Von Dunck." The health of the Treasurer, the Honourable Mr. Fraser, was d.en drank with applause, upon which that Gentleman returned thank- ; he trusted that when the Subscriptions were announced, it would be found that the Funds of the Hospital were materially harroved. oast, " The standing Committee of the Charity."—Song, Taylor," Oh, what a town." Dr. MANUEL returned thanks in a brief speech. Mr. AuLu, the wotthy Secretary of the Institution, and whose zeal for its interests is unremitting, then pro ceded to read the list of Subset iptious for the evening. Anton! , the Subscriptions were his Majesty, 100 guineas; the Rdie of Clarence (halt -yearly subscription), 10 guineas; the Duchess of CLrence, 10 guineas (half -yearly); Colonel Hamilton, 17 guineas; Wm.

Mr. Wilson, to guineas; Mr. Smith, its guineas; -sir. Hill, 10 guineas; and several others, amounting in all to £5OO. His Royal Highness then proposed as a toast—" The Thistle, :he hose, and the Shamrock."—The toast, he said, was suggested 111 the circumstance of an Irish Gentleman present (General Deer ten), wilu with a liberality peculiar to kis countrymen, subscribed t.venty guineas to the Institution—(Applause). Ile would beg leave to couple with the toast—" The g,:od health of General Devereux." General Dtveaxel, who appeared in the foreign uniform of a General Officer, returned thanks, and was nominated as one of the Stewards for the ensuing year. Toe evening was spent in the utmost cheerfulness, and his (loyal Highness •retited about eleven o'clock ; but several of the company remained, and kept up the spirit of conviviality to a much later hour. We are sorry we can say nothing in favour of the dinner ; it was neither good nor well served. Ducc.—A meeting wok place near the Green Man, Finchley CoMnion, yesterday, between a Gentleman - of the flame of FORBES and a Mr. HETHERINGTON, in con sequence of a quart el, in which the character of a Lady is said to be involved. The first fire was a miss; but in !he second, Mr. HETHERINGTON was severely wounded ui the side, and he was conveyed off the ground in a cost-chaise. A dreadful accident occurred yesterday, on the pre r.i3es of Air. Bramwell, wine and spirit merchant, at the corner of :' , •zabeth•street and Ebury-terrace, Five-fields, Pimlico.

GREENWOOD AND COL This action was brought by the widow and personal iepr esentativ e of Major George Spyring, an Officer in the Artillery, against Messrs. Greenwood and Cox, the Paymasters of his Regiment, to recover a balance of 1601. ss. 93. due to his estate. There was no fact dis puted between the parties, and the case was tried on admissions. From these it appeared that certain allow ances, formerly permitted by the Board of o:dnance, were in 1816 withheld, and notice given to the defen dants that they mint no longer expect to receive them on behalf of the Officers. Messrs. lireerN•ood and Cox, homever, neglected to communicate this determination to Major Spring ; and in 1820, furnished him with an account, in ahich they gave him credit fur the allow ances, nearly, if not quite, to that period. The question was, whether, having given this account, they could now dispute its correctness, by sliewing that in 1816 the allowances were actually withdrawn ? It having been agreed that the point should be re served for the opinion of the Court, in the form of a special case, The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE told the Jury, that, in his present view of the case, the defendants were not now at liberty to dispute the correctness of the account which they had chosen to render. It was very important to all men, and certainly not less important to military men than to others, accurately to know the extent of their income, that they might accommodate their ex penses to their means. As the defendants had allowed Major Spyring to go on in the supposition that his in come remained unchanged, and had supplied him with an account on that supposition, he thought they were not now entitled to spew that they had been in error. The Jury, then, by his Lordship's directions, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1601. ss. 9d. THE KING V. CLIFFORD. This was an indictment against Edward Clifford, an uncertificated bankrupt,charging him with obtaining two bills of exchange of 1001. each, from Thomas Palmer, on fraudulent and false pretences. The question for the consideration of the Jut y was not whether the defendant had practised a fraud to ob tain possession of the bills, but whether he had prac tised the peculiar fraud charged in the indictment ? The first count was, that the defendant intending to defraud. Thomas Palmer of two bills of exchange, pretended that he was able to obtain large sums of money on bills, and if Thomas Palmer gave him two bills, he should receive a large sum the next day. The seem& count went on to state, that the said Thomas Palmer gave two bills of 1001. each, and when the defendant was called on for the money, he TV as not able to advance any such sums. The third count stated, that the defendant falsely pretended that be should be able to advance to Palmer 2001. next day, when he well knew that be was not able to get the bills discounted. Another count stated, that the defendant said, if the prosecutor would deliver the bills of exchange, he would advance 2001. next day. The case was stated by Mr. GURNEY, and detailed by the evidence of the prosecutor. Thomas Palmer stated, that being desirous of raising money, he inserted an advertisement in the Times Newspaper, to the following purport: 6 ' Wanted, by a respectable tradearnan, 2001. at five per cent. on valuable estates." The advertisement contained the address and name, Thomas l'Almer. In answer to the advertisement, he soon after obtained a letter from the defendant. It was in these terms: " ELY FLACK, MAY 25, 1824.—Sir—In answer to an advertise ment in the Times, I am prepared to say, that if the property you have to produce is security for a loan of 2001. being of actual value, I have no doubt I can procure it for you, in case you will repay the money in the course of six months." Mr. Palmer went to the defendant and told him he came about the letter, on the subject of a loan of 2001. The defendant was in a back room at Ely place. He asked Mr. Palmer whether he had the leases of his houses? and having been answered in the affirmative, told him the money would be advanced, not on mortgage, that was expensive, but upon bills of exchange. He went with the prosecutor to his iela• tion at Bethnal-green, produced stamps, and made him draw two bills of 1001. each, at three and six Months. Ile then went with him to Shoreditch, and stopped at the City of Carlisle public-house. lle there entered into illivate conversation, and said " I will tell you what I want you to do ; I want you to give me the two bills your brother has accepted, in order that I may go into the market and receive the money for them." The de fendant, at this public-house, also produced two other stamps, and drew two other bills in favour of the pro secutor, which he accepted. The bilis were given as a security that he would give the money next day. When Palmer called for the money the defendant was not at home; he called the next day, and the defendant said he must give him time 'to get the bills discounted. Palmer then became suspicious, and expressed a wish to get the bills back, and pay him for his troulale. Ile refused to give up the bills, and Palmer said he thought the bills had been improperly obtained, and if not re turned, he would prosecute. The defendant, in answer to that, said, " Oh ! you kno.v it is only an exchange of paper." Finding he could not get his bills, he com menced this prosecution. Mr. ADOLPHUS addressed the Jury for the defendant, contended that the transaction could not bear the cha racter of fraud, and produced several letters written to Clifford by Palmer, to prove that Palmer had not men tioned anything about fraud. The defendant insisted that the transaction was not, that he was to receive the two bills to give Palmer money the next day, but in exchange for his bills. Mr. GURNEY, in reply, said, this is a transaction which takes place too often, but it is not every man who has been plundered will come forward in this way. Many do not choose to expose themselves in a Calm of Justice, but would rather submit to impositions of this kind. When a man does prosecute in such a case. he does the public a service. If, Gentlemen, you think this case his all the machinery of fraud, and that he obtained these bills not to get money for Palmer, but to possess them by fraudulent contrivance, find the de fendant guilty, and you will promote the interest of the public. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE proceeded to sum up the evidence, when the Foreman of the Jury said, " My . Lord, the Jury are al! satisfied." The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE observed, notwithstandin they were satisfied, that he vri.!ied to call their atten• tion to some of the details. His Lordship accordiii;;ly stated the evidence, and concluded by (Electing, them, if they believeA the defendant received the to gib& money for them next day, to find him guilty. II th..t eras not the condition on which he took the bills, they would acquit him. 'ftle Jury, without he itation, found the defendant Guilty on the tw•o list couno.. COURT OF COMMOX FLEAS, NOVEMBER SO. ANDREWS V. LORD ALVANLIY. This was a scire facia:, brought by the plaintiff, as administratric of Mr. Alexander Andrews, to i.evise the judgment on a bond granted by this-noble defendant, in the zitth year of the late Kjng. The defendant pleaded that he had satisfied the judgment; but as the proof of the issue was on him, and he did not produce any evi dence to substantiate it, a verdict was taken fur the plaintiff for 1831.1. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, NOVEMBER 30. THE KING V. ATTFIELD. - This was an information filed by the ATTORNEY. GENERAL against the defendant, for having in his pos. session a certain quantity of smug. led brandy. The case was stated to the Jury by the SOLICITOR. GENERAL.—The defendant lived near Portsmouth, and was a gardener ; his garden extended to the sea-shore, and at high tides the water washed his premises. Two Excise Officers, in consequence of some suspicions as to his manner of life, obtained a warrant to search his grounds. They examined very minutely in the first instance, but found nothing to warrant their suspicions. They subsequently proceeded to the garden, and these found concealed, under a mound of earth, called a po tato-bury, half an anker of brandy, and under similar mounds, two other quantitie-, amounting altogether to seven gallons of spirits. They also found a large cave, which then contained nothing but water, but which he contended increased the suspicion against the defendant, and was evidently meant to receive smuggled goods. The cave was hidden by a hedge of brambles, and it was otherwise concealed from observation.—Several witnesses were called in support of these facts. 'lhe CHIEF Llaaosi recapitulated the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict for the Crown. HIGII COURT OF ADMIRALTY, NOVEMBER 30. THZ NEV PIICENIX. This was a cause of wages, promoted by a mariner against his Captain. The claim was resisted by a charge of drunkenness set up as against the man, and the mat ter, which was in its details very uninteresting, was ar gued on a former Court-day. Lord STOWEI.L to day pronounced the wages to be due, and condemned the master in the costs. • TITS ZODIAC. Lord SIOWELL said he should take an opportunity of asking the Registrar and Merchants to state to hi in upon what ptiociples they had proceeded in this mat ter? and would give his opinion on a future day. AIIDDLESEX SESSIONS, NOV. 30. Ann Faulkner, a Lady of respectable appearance, re siding at '22, Upper Phillimore-place, Kensington, was indicted for assaulting Ann May, her servant. The CHAIRMAN left the case in the hands of the Jury, when they found the defendant Guilty, and she was fined Hs. 4d. William Alexander, a demure looking personage, was indicted for wilful and corrupt pet jury, with intent to injure Thomas Williams. The case arose out of a trial for an assault at the West minster Sessions, on the Ist of April last. Alexander had been formerly acquainted with a person named Williams, and his wife, and Williams having followed his wife to Alexander's house, and suspecting that they had formed an improper intimacy, he waited until Alexander came out, and then gave him a sound thrashing with a stick. For this assault he was sentenced to pay a fine of £5. On Alexander's cross-examination he swore to cer tain circumstances which were afterwards charged to be false, and for which Williams subsequently indicted him. 'The CHAIRMAN regretted, that persons daily appeared in the Court, and perjured themselves in common assault cases, and he agreed with Mr. Alley, that it should, if possible, be put an end to. He, however, allowed the objection to be fatal, and the defendant was acquitted. William Welling and John Longhurst, two officers of the Tower Hamlets Court of Requeits, were indicted for assaulting Lydia Gogay. The Jury acquitted Welling, hut found Longhurst Guilty. Mrs. Goodhall, the Landlady of the King's Arms Ac ts n, was indicted for assaulting Abraham Bates, a tailor. Mr. BARRY appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ptitr.t.tes for the defence. Jr appeared that the prose cutor chose a birth in a return chaise from Ealing to London, and the driver stopped at the King's Arms to water his horses. The prosecutor sat down with the driver to drink some beer, and after the first pint had disappeared, he called for a second. He said, that on giving this order, it was not obeyed, nor did they attend when he rang the bell. At length " Mine Hostess" condescended to appear, and in a very uncourteous man ner, she demanded why he made so much noise in the house; gave him a sharp blow under the ear, and finally brandished the kitchen poker over his head, de claring she would annihilate him. The defendant did not deny giving the prosecutor " a box on the ear," but she denied the foul language imputed to her ; and said, that having other persons to wait upon,. the prosecutor b. came noisy about the pint of beer, called her a certain name, to which she retorted by styling him a dog. He then emptied his pocket of a quantity of sovereigns, and asked her whether a Gentleman in a post-chaise could not pay for a pint of porter? He also, as the de fendant said, stood with his face very impudently op posite to her, when she gave him a well-met iced box on the ear. The post-boy corroborated this statement, and alt the witnesses were of opinion that' he prosecutor was drunk. The Jury found the defendant Guilty, and she was fined is. COURT OF ALMRMEN.

Friday last, an Inquest was taken at Shiplake, near Henley. Oxon, by Mr. CECIL, Coroner, on view of the body of a foil grown male child. William Clark, of Shiplake, paper-maker, deposed, that on Wednesday morning last, about eight o'clock, he found a male child, apparently recently born, lying dead in the water, close to the bank side, by Shiplake Mill Tail, which is in Shiplake parish, in the county of Oxford. Witness took it out of the water, and car ried it into an outhouse belonging to Mr. Hiatt, at an adjoining mill. Yesterday morning, witness brought it to Nit. Francis Walter's stable. and left it there. When witness took the child out of the writer, there was a piece of cloth wrapped round its head, which completely co vered his face; there was a Lit of list tied to the cl :th to keep it on the head, and it was tied round the neck. The child was quite naked, except the piece of raa on its head ; but the child's leg was in the tag, and the. child appeared to have been tied up altogether in the rag. Witness was of opinion, from the appearance of the child when he took it out of the water, that it had lain in the water three or four days. William Rowland, of Cliilworth, Surrey, surgeon, de posed, that on Wednesday last he examined a male child, which William Clark had that morning taken out of the water near Shiplake Mill Tail. U.oon examina tion witness did not discover any mark of violence on the child, excepting a slight mark round the neck, which might havo been produced by a suing being fas tened round the neck, of by the navel-string of the child getting round the neck. Witness had not the slightest doubt that the child was still-born. Witness formed his judgment from the lungs appearing never to have been inflated. The Jury returned a verdict, " Found dead in the water, in the • parish of Shiplake, in the county of Oxford—that there were not any marks of violence—that the child appeared to have been still.. born; but bow 'or by what means the child came into the water, there was no evidence to the Jurors." And, on the 27th November, an Inquest was taken at Wheatley, Oxon, by the same Coroner, on view of the body of Richard Sturges, a shepherd, aged G 9, who was found deid at the foot of Shotover Hill, near Wheatley, with a bundle of fern and his dog by the side . of him.
