SCOTTISH HOSPITAL. Yestethay the Anniversary Dinner of this truly ex. cellent Charity was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, when nearly 200 Gentlemen of the first respectability sat down to a most excellent dinner, Lord GLENORCHY in the Chair, supported on the right, by the Hon. Taos DUNDAS, JAMES BLAIR, Esq. M.P. N. C. TINDAL, Esq. M.P. Sc. &c. and on the left, by yice-Atimiral Sit PHILIP DURHAM, Sir PHILIP ANSTRUTHIR, Sir WIT.. LIAM MAXWELL, M.P. Sir JOHN *LEAN, Sir RICHARD BUMF., Mr. ABERCROMBIE, Mr. BRUCE, &c. &c. We have so frequently called the attention of the public to the nature and objects of the Scottish Hospital, that we might content ourselves with merely recording the events of the day ; but as we find at every anniver sary some Gentleman acknowledging that he knew but half its merits, we may be excused for , describing them once more ; and this we do with the More pleasure, as benevolence never flowed in a puler channel—never was money more carefully expended than the funds of this Charity ; and without any invidious comparison with others we may say, that we know no institution which excels it in doing the most good st the least expense.— If, however, it is limited in its bounty, it is because the means are not more ample ; this however, the public can alter by increasing its funds. The Scottish Hospital has some claims too on account of its antiquity, having its origin in the reign of James I. when a great number of enterprising Scotchmen fol *lowed their King to this country and so important had it become, that at the time of the great plague in Lon don, in 1665, upwards of 300 natives of Scotland, who fell victims to its ravages, were buried at the sole charge of the Society, and numbers more nourished in sickness. The Scottish Hospital is governed by a President, six Vice-Presidents, a Treasurer, and an unlimited number of Governors. A donation of ten guineas and upwards, constituting a Governor for life; and a sub scription of one guinea or more, but less than ten, an annual Governor, so long as such payment shall con tinue to be made. It is a charitable Institution, for the relief of poor natives of Scotland, who may be reduced to poverty and want ; and in order to do this, an efficient Committee of respectable Gentlemen meet on the second Wednes day of every month to distribute the charity, which is done, (after a personal and strict ex imination intaibe character and pretensions of the parties applying, and producing a recommendation from a Governor) by giving casual relief and providing passages for such as wish to return to Scotland, of which there are a great number every year. The charity of the Scottish Hospital is applicable to the poor mechanic, the artisan, and labourer, natives of Scotland, with their witres,widOws, and children,retident in this metropolis, and its immediate neighbourhood, who, not having acquired any parochial settlement in this country, would, in age and poverty, in sickness and distress, or when in want of employment, be exposed to the utmost wretchedness or beggary, but for the fos tering care of this Institution. ► The number of these poor _objects ' dependant on public bounty, is much greater than is generally imagined. From the Ist of May, 1824, to the 80th of April last, this Corporation gave aid to 1,988 individuals, many of whom were sent home to their native land, the expenses' of their passage being paid. The natives of Scotland, who are remarkable for their emigrating disposition, are to be found in every quarter of the globe where civilized establishments have been made : and many, after enduring hardships and privations of all kinds in other countries, return home in poverty and distress. London is the great channel through which they take their way, and they frequently artive here utterly destitute. To such, the funds of the Hospital have been always accessible, its charity being open to every poor Scotchman who can .get a proper recommendation ; it is thus evident, that while the Scottish Hospital is a real blessing to the aged, the diseased, and the unemployed poor of Scot land, resident in London, Westminster, and the neigh bourhood, and affords such ready assistance to the dis tressed wanderer, and the disappointed son of industry, it is of incalculable benefit to the community at large, , who are by means of this Charity prevented t( .e agont aidg sight of beholding so great an addition, as other wise there would be, to the number of our destitute fel low-creatures seeking their wretched pittance on the -streets, liable to be taken up as vagrants, sent to the ',House of Correction, and probably subjected to the disgrace of corporal punishment. The Duke of CLARENCE, who is President of the Scottish Hospital, usually presides at its anniversaries, but in consequence of the absence of , his Royal High ness on the Continent, the Chair was taken yesterday by Lord Gursoacne, one of the Vice-Presidents. After justice had been done to an excellent dinner, provided by Mr. Cuff with his usual liberality ; and Non Nobis Doming bad been sung by Mr. Sinclair (who kindly gave his services in support of the charity) and Messrs. Collier, Clarke, Fitzwilliam, and Jolly ; The CHAIRMAN rose to e ropose the health of the King. Scotchmen, he said, had always been dirin guished for their loyalty, as was manifested in their at tachment to an unfortunate family, and their ardour in a cause when St had become hopeless. His present Majesty had, however, still stronger claims on their attachment, as ender his mild' and glorious reign, the country enjoyed crmstitutiiMal freedom, the sanctity of their altars and their homes, and a prosperity almost unbounded. He would propose, " The King." Drink with three times three. Air and Song, • 'God save Ole King." ' " The Royal Family." Three time three. The CHAIRMAN bad another toast to propose, which he was sure mould be drank with enthusiasm; it was that of his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, 'Who had been for fourteen years President of the Scottish' Corporation, and who, by his money and his personal exertions, had s 6 powerfully contributed to its support.' " The Duke of Clarence, the President of the Scottish Corpora tion." Three time three. " Rule, Britannia." " The Duke of Vert and the Army." Three times three. Glee, " How merrily we live that soldiers be." " The Duchess of Clarence." Three times three. Sons, by Dlr. Collier, " Smile again, any Bennie Lassie." The CHAIRMAN rose and observed, that it was now his pleasing duty to propose a toast, winch he was sure they would all, as Sc tchmen, unite in drinking most cordially; he need only say, that it bore allusion to the Charity which they were that day met to celebrate --(Applause). It was an Institution that he would chatacterise as having every claim upon their henry,- lence ; it had antiquity, though that was bet a minor consideration when compared with its general utility, and the opportunity it afforded hundreds of poor per ,sons of escaping Isom the wotkboase; for it was the . . ixtesit of this charity, that it hesteerbi its doaationll out appearing to reduce the unfortunates who received it to a condition of absolute beggary. Aoothet claim that the Society had to the notice of benevolent indivi duals was, that the objects it relieved were personi who were specially excluded from the privilege of parothial relief, and who therefore would entirely sink ink> pe nury and want, were they not fortunately upholdin by the exertions of this Institution. With respect to the past year, it was only necessary for him to observe, that each month 106 cases had come under their notice, making an aggregate during the year of 1,988 persons relieved, exclusive of 100 - persons who received regu larly among them the annual sum of £.500: in addition to these persons relieved, the Society had been the means cf sending 287 persons, including women and children, from this country to their native places in Scotland, by which it not only relieved Lon don of a burthen, but contributed in protecting, in an eminent.degree, the morals and manners of those per sons from that corruption which was so often the fatal consequence of want and disease in the metropolis— (Applause). The Noble Lnrd concluded, by proposing— Success to the Scottish Hospital and Corporation, of London," with three times tbree—(loud applaUse). Song—!Ur. Sinclair. " The Death of Abercrombie." Sir WILLIAM MAXWELL then proposed the health of their Noble Chait man," and took occasion to observe how much pleasure it gave him to see so young and so promising a Nobleman filling the sioation of Presi dent to the Society, in the absence of his Royal High ness the Duke of Clarence.—The toast was drank with loud applause. Lord GLENORCHY then returned thanks for the honour done him, and for the flattering manner in which his health had been proposed. He had only to say, that he felt much gratified in presiding on so iii tetering an occasion, and that the Scottish Hospital should never want his support, such as it was. The CHAIRMAN proposeJ the health of his Grace the Duke of Montrose, who had been for twenty-eight years President of the Scottish Corporation, and who had contributed more to its funds than any other individual. After the toast, which was drank with great applause, Mr. Sinclair, at the request of the Chairman, sung Auld lung sync, in a way that forced many involuntary but pleasing recollections on the minds of the company. The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of Sir Richard B rnie, who, in returning thanks, observed that he had been placed in such a situation at the Meeting as ne Police Magistrate ever, perhaps, was before, or ought to be. He was proud of being a S cotchnsan and of having had a Scotch education, to which he ascribed his being at the head of the Police of this Metropolis. Sir Richard concluded by expressing his best wishes for all present. The Hon. THOMAS DUNDAS proposed the health of the Earl of Breadalbane : and the CHAIRMAN returned thanks for the compliment thus paid to his father, who, he assured the company, had the interests of the Charity warmly at heart. Mr. P. STEWART, of Greenock, rose to propose a toast which he was sure the company would drink with their highest honours, however humble the individual who named.it. He took shame to himself that this was the first time he had attended the anniversary of so excellent a Charity. The great moralist Dr. Johnson, in a fit of bile or spleen, occasioned perhaps by the jogging of his unwieldy carcase on a S'ietland pony. had said no sight was so agreeable to a Scotchmart as the road to England : but although his countrymen did emigrate, they did not forget their native land ; [and the records of this Corporation proved how many of them felt with the Poet, that " Their own best country is at home." He trusted the subscriptions that evening would be liberal, and, alluding to the Play of The School for Scandal, said he hoped that when the screen at the end of the room (where Mr. Auld, the Secretary, sat to receive subscriptions) should be withdrawn, it would discover something more valuable than a little French milliner. He concluded by proposing " The Land of Cakes"—Drank with imagine applause. The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the health of Sir Philip Durham, a gallant Naval Officer near him, who had distinguished himself in the kervice of his country. Drank with the usual honours. Sir PHILIP DURHAM returned thanks in a neat speech, and proposed the healths of Sir R4lph An smother, Mr.Abercrombie,and Mr. Michael Bruce; the last named Gentleman returned thanks for himself and his, friends. The health of the Honourable Mr. Frazer, the Trea surer of the Charity, drew from that Gentleman an .urgent appeal on its behalf. The Rev. Dr. BELFRAOR, the Minister of Falkirk, proposed, as a toast— " The English Friends of the Scottish Hospital." The health of Lady Gwydyr was drank with im mense applause. The Vice Presidents, the Stewards of the day; the Stew irds Eiect, the Secretary, to whose zeal for the Charity a just compliment was paid, and several other appropriate toasts, were drank, and the conviviality of the evet.ing was protracted to a late hour. The list of donations was read by the . Secretary; uad amounted, we believe, to upwards of £4OO. LONDON FEMALR PCNITENTIAIM—Yesterdiy the annual meeting of the London Female Penitentiary WAS held at the Crown and Anchor TAvern, in the Strand. The object of this excellent Institution is to afford a temporary asylum to unfortunate females, and to give them the means of again becoming useful and industrious members of society. The Institution has existed for some years at Pentonville, and has been the occasion of rescuing from misery and depravity many a wretched female, who otherwise might have perished in an hospital or in the streets. The-meeting, though not numerous, was respectable, and consisted princi pally cif females. Wednesday, the remains of Mr. WM. &firm, one of the Equestrian Company of Astley's Theatre, who died aiew days since, in consequence of a spinal injury received in throwing a summerset, were borne to Lam• beth Church by sax of the miner auxiliaries in that department, and followed by Messrs. Ducaow and WEST, the Managers,. as chief mourners, and about 26 of the Company in deep mourning. Many others, who did not join in the procession, accompanied it to the grave. The conduct of Mr. DUCROW to the un fortunate man, deserves mention. The morning after the accidtnt be sent 10/. to Mr. Smyrtt's wife, wish an assurance, that whether her husband survived or not, his salary should be continued to the end of the season, and that then (supposing the worst to happen) some provision should be made for her. in addition to this the ablest surgical aid in the metropolis was obt fined at the sole expense of Mr. Dvcttow, who visited the patient daily until his death. _ At Ei 014,141 NT bjCiE . O TED: Last night a most extraOrdinaiy scene was witnessed on the Kennington -road, not, far from the Marsh-gate. 40e3i-thaisa was stopped by three Gentleiven, well nted, and a young man instantlT jumped out and ittempked to escape down Oakley -street; but was knocked down ht the blow of a whip from one of the ' pursuers. The screams of a Lady were then heard, and the Gentlemea,witheut much ceremony dragged i Lady of middle age, but elegant appearance, from the chaise, tend ;Acing her in a hackney-coach with one of the Gentlemen, who, it appeared, was her husband, di. rested the coachman to drive to a fashionable street at the west-end of the town. The two Gentlemen then seized the young man, and commenced a powerful at tack on him with their whips, to which he spiritedly resisted, and a kind of battle.royal ensued, which ended by his being given into the charge of a watch man. Some of the crowd, which was very great, asked an explanation of all this, and one of the Gentlemen very readily explained that the Lady was the wife - of a medical practitioner, and was the mother of three chil dren, and had decamped with the young man that, evening; but fortunately a servant learning the design, had given informAtitn, and she was thus stopped. We, have heard the name of the Lady, but conceal it for the sake of the husband she has dishonoured.

The fellow was permitted to escape by several who were at the moment looking on. Mr. Greenha m is a most respectable manufacturer; yet, for some fan cied cause of displeasure against him, he has been thus savagely assailed by persons not in his employment. Tuesday morning, about half-past six o'clock b a riotous banditti of not less than thirty persons, broke into a workshop in Little Ship-street (not twenty yards from the guard at the Castle Gate), which was occu pied by a smith, of the name of Donnelly, who worked for Mr. Taylor, the ironmonger, in Bride-street. Don nelly, who was engaged at the fire, was assailed by two of the party, who inflicted most murderous blows with a hot bar of iron, which was in the fire at the time ; nor did they desist from the attack till. they left him for dead. The only offence committed by Donnelly, was the supplying Mr. Taylor with smiths' work, without consulting the Union of Trades, as to the terms on which he should execute it. About two o'clock on the same day, a person of the name of William Forsyth, a painter, while cccu pied with his assistants, in painting the railing near Menton-square, was assailed by a numerous mob, who, but for the timely intervention of some Gentle men who were passing at the time, would, in all pro bability, have added more victims to that dreadful system which has already left stsb blood-stained traces of its sanguinary progress in this metropolis. One of the villains was traced into Pembroke-court, off Bag got-street, and apprehended while concealed in the house, No. 9 ; he was fully identified as one of the party, and committed to Net gate. His name is Patrick Churchill, a painter and glazier. PRAM BOOK AND HOMILY SOClrrv.—Yesterday the Thirteenth Annual Meeting of the friends and sup porters of this Society took place at Stationers' Hall, Ludgate-street, and was numerously attended.

INDUSTRY.--The Anniversary Dinner of the above invaluable institution, took place at the London" Ta vern. The Right Honourable the LORD Maven in the Chair. After the usual toasts had been given, the Chairman proceeded to esplain the objects'of this pe culiar Charity, which was first instituted in 1806, under very unpromising circumstances ; but from the patronage shewn to it by the particular favour of the Members of the Royal Family and wealthy Patrons, closely connected with the prosperity of the City of London, it acquiraJ sufficient stability, so that at the, present moment it supports 30 boys and SO girls, be.. l sides ten probationary, scholars, in clothing and edu-1 cation, sons and daughtets c f the most indigent poor, in teaching them industrious habits, and some an or trade, accompanied with religious instruction, ac cording to the pi inciples of the Church of England.--r Alter en occasional song, by Mr. C.
