SCOTTISH HOSPITAL. The Annual Spring Meeting of this interesting and hi g hly patronised Society was held at Freemasons' Hall, on Saturday, and was most respectably and numerously attended. Hi. Royal Highness the Duke of CLARINCE was in the Chair, with the Earl of Roseberry on his right, and Lord Colville on his left. Among the . co rnpany present were—Sir Samuel Shepherd, the Chief Baron of Scotland, Sir L. Shadwell. the Vice Chancellor, General Maitland, Sir James Macgrigor, Nr, Watson Taylor, M.P.

The gallery was crowded with Ladies. Immediately after dinner Non nobia Domino was sung Id very d eellent style by Messrs. Taylor, Broadhurst, and others. The Royal CHAIRMAN then rose, and prefaced the f t eslth of his Majesty, by describing the universal pa nonage which he extended to all charitable associations, but in a more particular manner, the numerous and liberal donations which he had bestowed on their excel lent and valuable Society. His Royal Highness said, that he himself was connected with many charities—he , had presided in the same Hall at the last Festival of the Welsh—he had presided at many Festivals of the Irish Society, and though they were connected with national objects, and deserving of national support, he knew none the object of which was more laudable, the exertions of which were more unceasing, and the practical benefits of which were greater, than the So ciety of the Scottish Hospital. He had always found the Scotch a peculiar race of men. He had been connected led them for nearly half a century (49 years) since he first entered into his Majesty's navy, and there, as well as in the army, they had been conspicuous is the service et their King and country. They were now met for a ewe peaceable, but certainly not less praiseworthy ex ercise of patriotic feeling, and he was happy to see their exertions successful, and the cause of charity advancing for sixteen years, during which he had been President of the Society. His Royal Highness mentioned that he was aurally in the habit of announcing his Majesty's • of 100 guineas at the November Meeting, and merely remind them at present, that he had al- Anted 5001.

The Society knew how to appreciate his Highness's merits, and as long as he contineed Oise them, as well by the liberal donations bestowed, as by presiding at the festivals, so the Society continue to flourish. Without preface, he begged to propose the health of his Highness the Duke of Clarence—Three times Song, " Since harmony seigns." 'YAL PassrepanT returned thanks, and re expression of sincere attachment to the in :he Society, and his determination to continue their President as long as his health and shoe ' permit. - - Gtonoa WATSON TAYLOR rose, and after pass nrerited eologiuns on her charitable disposition virtues, prOposed the health of the Duchess ;sce —Three times three. Song, "My ain ie, 0." ArIAL CHAIRMAN again rose—He was at a said, to know in what manner to return thanks ist which bad just been proposed. The fair !ways held in the highest estimation in those where the men were most conspicuous for valour ; and if the civilization and morality of were to be judged of by the correctneai and . the female character, be had no hesitation in that Britain stood first of all the countries in In illustration of this, be introduced the fol• snecdote which occurred in his preseace—Dnr lrersation concerning the merits of different foreigner asserted England to be the first, and as his reason, that every o th er nation placed it itself. His Roya l Highness concluded by saying, sgh the Duchess of CLARNICR was a foreigner in feeling and sentiment the was truly Enilish. ,SIES SHIPHERD, the Chief Baron of Scotland, : Charity was very mach concerned in the toast about to propose, as it owed to it gratitude for The illustrious Person in the Chair had :ked in the cradle of British heroism, and could '• its benefits to the kingdom; be had in early ialiied himself for the high functions be was performing.

And after passing an encomium on his Lordship. gave " The Lord Chief Baron, and the Land of Cates." The CHIEF BARON returned thanks for the doable honour of drinking his health, and connecting it with that of Scotland. In that country be had met with the kindest attention; and, without a sacrifice of any of his early attachments, he had resolved to make it the land of his adoption.

The Secretary mentioned, that in looking over the records of the Hospital that morning, he had found that the tune Gentleman, during his life, had in the year 1793, presented a donation to the Corporation of 1001. This instance of research on the part of the Secretary was regarded by the Company as an additional proof of the profound attention paid to the affairs of the Hospital by that meritorious individual.

BAWL OF ENGLAND CLOCK.—The clock, in a buil& ing immediately over the Hall, or Drawing Office, is a very ingenious piece of mechanism, and intended, as it fully does, to obviate the di ffi culty experienced in the various S tock Offices, from the difference of clocks.— This, with the dials at the Bank, cannot occur ; for the hands of all are moved by one piece of machinery, and the whole, sixteen in number, indicate the precisely similar hour and second. The communication between the machinery and the hands made by means of brass rods, arranged within the roof, and thence continued to the different apartments in the offices. The length of the whole of these various rods is nearly 700 feet, which weigh at least sic cwt. There are 200 wheels in motion; the principal weight is about 3501b5. and the clock is wound up twice a week. It also strikes the quarters and hours on large bells." .

REMOVAL OF SMITHFIELD MARKET. An open Meet.ng of. .the Corismittee of Gentlemen 'ppornted .or the purpose of endiaiotiiing to abolish t-e noi;ist. es of Smithfield Mat ket and the slaughter hi•useb f. London; was' held a few .days baCt at Mr. Welsh's chambers, in Regent street. It was attended by a deputation from the. Committee of Butchers, who h-ed been invited, in order to discuss the outline of a Petition to Parliament which it was purposed to submit to a General Meeting. • The Petition, which contained the objections so often noticed against the present system of slaughter houses and cattle markets. having been read, ti conversation took place between the parties. The deputation objected to some expressions in the Report of the Provisional Committee, which appeared to attribute to the butchers the evils complained of, as to the treatment of cattle. This intention the Committee disclaimed, and even ad mitted, that. so far from the butchers being culpably accessary to those evils, they were themselves great sufferers by them. The deputation informed the Committee that the butchers admitted the necessity of removing as far as possible the evils complained of ; but they thought this might be done by enlarging Smithfield mai ket, and by changing one of the market days from Friday to Thurs day—measures respecting which . they were about to, have interviews with the City Authorities, who, they hoped, would second the views of the trade in those respects& The Committee replied, that even if the proposed enlargetnent of the market could be effected, it would fait of making the improvement which the convenience of the piiblic requited; but they added, thrt' the en: largement could not be effected without an expense which would far exceed the whole estimates for the new slaughter houses and tattle markets. After sense further discussion, the parties separated in perfect good humour, the butchers being resolved, by the aid of the CiVic Authorities, to continue the pre. sent system ; the Committee expressing their determine. ;don to persevere in their exertions, and solicit the sanc tion of Parliament ip removing the mai ket and slaughter boils to eligible situations in the vicinity of London, by .wbic;t me a t would be obtained in the best state, and ill the existing and intolerable nuisances be completely abated.
