sconmi HosiirtAz. . Saturday being St. Andrew': Day, the tons of Caledonia celebrated the Anniversary of their Patron :-aint by a Public Dinner, for the purpose of pro moting o ne of the best Charities this Metropolis, rich it is in benevolent Institutions, can boast. The t ., co t t ih Hospital derives its origin from a Society ;.ormed a short time after the accession of King " A mes, for relieving the less fortunate individuals of th e Scottish nation who had upon that event come to tngland. A Chnrtet of Incorporation, under its pre. scot designation, was granted by King Charles the second, in the year 1665, empowering the Society to held lands, and to erect an Hospital for the reception tf t h e objects of the Charity ; and an opportunity soon afterwards occurred of manifesting the benefits to be ,'. e ,i r ed from it. It appears from the Records of the Corporation, that, during the great plague, upwards ef three hundred natives of Scotland were buried at the so le charge of the Society, and numbers more wer e nourished during their sickness, without sub acting the Parishes where they resided to any ex 'rive whatever. Experience soon evinced, that confinement to a c harity workhouse was altogether uncongenial to the celings of the Scottish Poor. The idea of an Flospi • I A or receptacle for the objects of the Charity, was ;4 , cons equence relinquished, and the plan of assisting and relieving these objects at their own habitations substituted. But this assistance was confined to such cily of the natives of Scotland, resident in London;' as had become members, and paid quarterly contri; 'onions to the Society, by virtue of which they were entitled to relief when in want. Though the claims ' w ere thus restricted, the amount of relief afforded mus t have been considerable, for thetwhole receipts a ppear to have. been, for a very long period, annually distributed. At the end of a century, after the first incorporation, the funds were little Tr. re than at the commencement, the annual receipts less, and the So ciety was dwindling away. Fortunately the management now devolved on active bands—persons who loved Scotland, and knew h ow be,t to serve her sons without wounding that feeling of independence and that aversion to eleemo synary relief which is so characteristic of Scotsmen. An efficient Committee of respectable Gentlemen meet on the second Wednesday of every month to distribute the charity, which is done (after a personal and strict examination ino the character and preten sions of the parties applyifig, and producing a recom► mendation from a Governor), by giving casual relief, and providing passages for such as wish to return to Scotland. Once in six months, the Committee take into consideration the eases of such as are past labour, either from age or infirmity, and who have been pro reily recommended as fit objects to be put upon a permanent pensi on. Among t he C ontributors to the Funds, and enrolled in the list of Governors, the Society has been honoured will the names of his present MAJESTY, and all his Illustrious Brothers; and the patronage which it has :eceived, has not been confined to the Scottish nation, but the Nobility, Gentry, andall classes of the United Kingdom, have in a most liberal and zealous manner espoused its cause. The stagnation - of trade and manufactures which has ensued since the peace, and borne so hard upon the country, has, however, had a proportional effect upon this Society, and that in a double ratio ; having tended to decrease very considerably its income, at the sametime that the applications for relief have greatly increased. The donations for the year ending 50th November, 1821, were short of those of the pre ceding year 3091.95. and the annual subscriptions 1071. making together 4171. 3s. The Charity of the Scottish Hospital is applicable to the poor mechanic., the artisan, and labourer, natives of Scotland, with their wives, widows, and children, 'evident in this tnesropolirand its immediate reighbourhood; who, not having acquit ed any pato dial settlement in this country, would, in age and poverty, in sickness and distress, or when in want of employment, be exposed to the utmost wretched ness or beggary, but for the fostering care of this Institution. Though " an often told tale; We have deemed it necessary to testate the nature and object of the Scottish Hospital, which is an Institution not merely, entitled to the support of Scotsmen, but presents the strongest :Lams on general humanity. If what GOLD. morn said of Governments, that the " state that's best administered is best," may be applied to public Charities, and we believe no one will dent it, then is the Scottish Hospital the best of Institutions; for, is the zeal with which its funds are collected ; in the pains that are taken to inquire " the wretched out," and tender to them the " offices of humanity ; and in ' the economical distribution of the funds, we venture to say it is not surpassed by any Charity io the kingdom. From a view of the numbers relieved by this Cha rity, it is evident, that while the Scottish Hospital is a real blessing to the aged, the diseased, and the Mk. ployed poor of Scotland, resident in London, West minster, and the neighbourhood, and of such ready assistance to the distressed wanderer, and the esappointed son of industry, it is of incalculable be nefit to the community at large, who are by means of Lis Charity prevented the agonizing sight of behold so great an addition, as otherwise there would be, to the number of our destitute fellow-creatures . -eking their wretched pittance on the streets, liable t; be taken up as vagrants, sent to the House of Cor c,cticin, *and probably subjected to the disgrace of Eul eural punishment. The Anniversary, on Saturday, was held at the Albion Ta*rn, Aldersgate-street, where nearly 300 cf the Governors and friends of the Charity sat down ks an excellent dinner. His Royal Highness the i Duke of CLASSICS and ST. ANDREWS , the President I of the Institution, was in the Chair, and was sup ported on the right hand by Lord Sa troust, one of tie Vice-Presidents, and the Earl of ERROL.; and on iris left by the Earl of GLASGOW, W. It. K. DOUGLAS, Lact.m.r. GZOSGE HUTTON, Esq. M.P. Dr. HAMIL TON, &C. &C. His Royal Highness entered tbe room at half-past six o'clock, preceded by the Stewards and a High land piper, playing one of the soul-stirring airs of Lit native hills. As soon as-the cloth was removed, Nme noble Do wine was sung in 'fine style by Messrs. BROADHURST,. k:OLLYSII, PYSF., and Titssev. Mr. AULD, the worthy 4tßipersevering Secretary, ORLI read a letter of apology taw Xr. Cawing, who was expe c t e d t i s have honou red thts Meettas with has presence, bit vebo was prevented by public business. He expressed his best wishes for the sue- 1 cess of thalistitution, and hceouspanied his letter by a donation of 101. The Dukb of Montrose tent an , apology and twenty guineas. Lord Binning also sent ' a letter regretting his inability to attend the dinner, as did the Right Hon. Robert Peel. The CHAIRMAN now rose to propose the first health. 4, I cannot," said his Royal Highness, suffer the toast, which you my food Scotch friends all antici pate, to be drank without some few ptdatory re marks. I know, Gentlemen, the enthusiasm with hich you drink this toast at any time. I know the sincere attachment and affection which all Scotsmen have for their Sovereign, and which is one of their characteristic virtues. It is not, therefore, to express , what you all feel that I address you : but, my friends, since the last anniversary of St. Andrew's Day, a circumstance has arisen of a nature as peculiar as it is interesting. You will, I doubt not, readily perceive that I allude to his Majesty's visit to his Scottish do minions ; and I have to assure you, that I know no. thing can exceed the gratification and delight which his Majesty experienced among his Scottish subjects, which made an impression on the mind of his Ma jesty which he will never forget. I therefore, Gen tlemen, shall conclude by proposing " The KDOO, and GOD bless him." This toast was received with the loudest cheers, and drank with three times three. The National Anthem was then played and sung. a great part of the company joining in chorus. " The Royal Family ; ' three times three. Tune, a Grand March. Song, " Hail Star of Brunswick." " The Duke of York and the Army." The Duke of York's March. " How merrily we live that Soldiers be." Lord Savroug said that, in proposing the health of his " Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, Pie. idetit of the Corporation, and the Navy," it would be unnecessary for him to preface it with many obser vations. The services conferred on the Institution by his Royal Highness were equally well known to those whom he addressed, and he had no doubt were justly appreciated. His Lordship concluded by pro. posing the toast-- " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy "—" Rule, Britannia." His ROYAL ilionszcs, in rising to return thanks, said he felt deeply the honour which had just bees conferred upon him, and assured them that he was warmly interested in the success of the Corporation, 'the object of which was so truly laudable. He hoped that all distinctions of country were now re moved, and that those north of the Tweed were no longer called foreigners. He wished to see all united, without national distinction, and that each of either country would be equally ready to contribute to the relief of the other. Of the two countries he was satisfied that none derived more advantage from the Union than that country in which he was now ad dressing them. He was now not very young in the world, and had often met Scotchmen, but he must say, wherever he met them, whether in a civil or military capacity, they were equally conspicuous for their good conduct as eminent for their loyalty.— However contemptuously some might look on the manner in which the Scotch rose in the world, be was net one of that number. He saw nothing to be despised in habits of saving and industry; on the contrary, they should receive praise and encourage ment; and he hoped the Scotch might long . continue to possess them. The Scotch were also distinguished for national feeling, which prompted them to assist and relieve each other ; and he called upon those present now, who had risen to wealth and affluence, to bring that national feeling into action, as it must tend to unite their hearts in the bends of charity, and make them more ready to contribute to the relief of their distressed fellow-countrymen.— The Scottish Hospital was a charity of a peculiar na ture, and of singlar utility and service to the un fortunate fellow-countrymen of those whom he was addressing. It had, indeed, been followed by several other Charitable Institutions. The best manner in which such Scotsmen as GOD had blessed. with af fluence could sheer their •gratitude, was by assisting those of their fellow‘countrymen who were less for tunate ; and no way could they be so well assisted as through this charity. He was happy to see so numerous and so respectable a Meeting, and was con vinced that this Institution had not only been bene ficial in a charitable point of view, but in removing those national and rival prejudices which once were strong, but now existed no longer. Within the last few years a change of Sovereigns had taken place, but no change in the bonds of friendship which united England to Scotland. He need not state how much Scotland benefited under his late Majesty—it was only to refer to what it was on the SOth of No-. 'ember, 1760, and the present day, to observe with joy and satisfaction how the country had improved. He would not detain the Meeting longer, but must• again urge on the Gentlemen present never to forget that the object for which they now assembled was charity, and he trusted that before they separated it would be found that they had all felt its influence.— He begged to return his best thanks for the honour done him, and to assure the Meeting that so long as they thought him worthy of being , their President, so long would he devote his best services to the Charity. He would drink to the success and welfare of the company. The CHAIRMAN spoke in high terms of the service of the Duke of Montrose, and concluded by proposing " The Doke of Montrose', wile was twenty-eight years Prei dent of the Corporation."-.Trine, ROT'S vy)fs.—Song, * Aulti Lang Syne." The CHAIRMAN said he had now the Most import ant toast to propose—the great object for which they were assembled; he would therefore drink— " Success to the Scottish Corporation."—Tuns, " Bannock, .'barley-meal" • The Vice-Presidents of the Corporation./ Lord SALTOUN returned thanks ,ht a neat speech.

Newsom., fax or %Vzcnr.—The bounds belonging to Wu.. claw Tuavcamt, Esq. threw off, a few days since, on Rowbo rough Common, and put up a hare which ran for two hours and seventeen minutes, and th e n died about ten yards before the bounds. Friday, the 22d ult. not being the usual hunting day with the Hampshire Hunt, it was suggested by come friends of their worthy Commander-in-Chief, Mr. Vittasots, that a bye day would be most acceptable to them, for the purpose of seeing the whole progeny (amounting to sixteen couple and a half) tsf the celebrated hound Pontiff; together with their dams, four in number. The place of meeting was the Kennel ; and, notwith.. standing the torrents of rain at the appointed time, a very large number of sportsmen assembled at liarmsworth. Even the fair sex were not daunted by the boisterous and rude elements, as the field was graced with the rank and beauty of the:neighbour. hood. To see the hounds unkennelkd, with Pontiff at their head, majestically seeming to exhort them in the words of the immortal Ner.son," England expects every man to do hie duty," was to every one exhilarating. Godsfield was the scene of action, and no sooner had Forrita waved his hand than every hound wag at work. A very trifling riot was checked by Sawyer, on entering the cover.—A few minutes-bad only elapsed when Prodigal and Princess seemed to own a soent, which Paragon's flourish and Prosper's whimper proclaimed a drag —young Pylades dashed across the ride, and unkennelled him. The crash was grand.— Old Pontiff was distinctly heard; but, alas! his well-known roar indicated a bad scent ; however, after a great deal of cold bunting, and having been headed twice (it is to be hoped not by a sportsman), the fox broke in good style, but to the infinite sorrow of the whole field, the scent being even Worse out of crier, the hunters reluctantly returned to the fair inmates of their • homes, w)iere only true sympathy and condolence under heavy afflictions din be found. Air. Vu.xamezes hounds are in high re#ete, and have had excellent sport already this season, hisving killed eighteen brace of foxes, and may safely challenge any pact in the kingdom to produce at the cover side so many couple of effective bounds the produce of one sire. A hound bitch, belonging ;o Mr. Hatchett, of Brighton, dropped seven pups on Saturday se'nnight, and appeared as well as such animals usually do after. wards ; next day (Sunday) the same bitch 'dropped two more, and on Monday another, making the num— ber ten. The intervals noticed in completing the brood are circumstances unparalleled. Lady THRODOSIA VTXXII was taken suddenly ill on Saturday,- at Brighton, and survived only three hours : her Ladyehip'e sou was sent for from town express, but he arrived too late to witness the last mopnents of his respected parent. We regret to state that the Meerut of the Rotas is extremely ndispoied. Re Is attended by four professional' Gentlemen of the highest eminence. The case is of a surgical nature, and con. tsidered dangerous.-06wreer. SMART RiCPLT.—Tss o friends meeting after an ab sence of some years, during which time the one had. increased considerably in bulk, and the other still re, sembling only the " effigy of a man," says the stout Gentleman, " Why, Dick ! you look at if you have not had a dinner since I saw you last ;" " and you," eplied the other, " look as if you bad been at dinner ever since!" CORN EXCIIAVGE, MARK-LANE, DEC. a. The arrivals of Wheat and Flour last week were considerable, but there were very small quantities of all other articles. In the Corn trade this morning, our fresh supplies are confined to some good quantities of Wheat, Barley, Beam, and Peak from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk. The Wheat trade is very dull, and eves the present prices barely maintain last week's currency. AM other descriptions are la. to 2s. per quarter lower. Superfine Barley, for Malting, fully supports the rates of last week, but other kinds go off heavily. Beam sell in hardly as good terms as thisilay seen:light Peas, of both kinds, have no variation. Oats sell at much the sans prises as last Monday, and not baying mane at market, most of our buyers-are waltini for fresh supplies. PRICU ON BOARD 07 iflIR Rye, New - les 43.

THE QUEENSBERRY CAUSe. • COURT OF SESSION, NOV. 13. The Second Division of the Court of Session, in Scotland, this day advised the three following import ant questions, in which the Duke of QUEENSBERRY'S executors are concerned : Ist. The claim for violent profits, at the instance of the Duke of Buccieugh, against the tenants on the Queensberry estate. td. The claim of damages, at the instance of his Grace, against the executors; and _ _ - 3d. The claim of ;dirt' and damages, at the instance of the Queensberry tenants, against the executors. Their Lordships, after delivering full opinions on each of the different questions, have unanimously ad hered to the interlocutor pronounced by Lord Crin gleton in each ; his Lordship had found the tenants liable in violent profits from Martinmas 1819, being the first Tetm after the judgment of the House of Lords, which laid down principles that resulted ulti mately in the reduction of the leases. The Court were all clearly of opinion that this interlocutor was well founded. In the question of damages, at the instance of the Duke of Buccleugh against the exe cutors, Lord Cringleton had assoilzed the executors, reserving consideration of the point, whether the exe cutors should account to the Duke for a share of the grassums. Lord Craigie had doubts whether the Duke is not entitled to dahiages, on the ground that the Duke of Queensberry, by granting leases in di minution of the rental (as that term has been inter preted by the House of Lords), had done an act which resulted in injury to the Duke of Buccleugh ; but a majority of the Judges being of opinion that there was no foundation for a claim of damages, Lord Craigie seemed rather to concur with the rest of their Lordships in the vote, which adhered to the Lord Ordinary's interlocutor; and, on the motion of the executors' Counsel, the Court furtherfound the Duke of Buccleugh liable to the executors in the expense of this process. In the question of relief, at the instance of the tenants against the executors, the Lord Ordinary !led round the executors liable to the tenants-in relief. The court unanimously and decidedly adhered to the interlocutor, and found the executors liable to the tenants in the expenses of process. The analogous questions, at the instance of Lord Weniyss against the executor.; and the tenants on the March estate, are to be advised by the First Division on the 26th instant. SLIGO ELECTION. Saturday week the Freeholders of the County of Sligo assembled at the Sessions House in the town of Sligo, for the purpose of electing a Representative in Parliament, in the room of the late CHARLES O'HARA, Esq. • Colonel hum, the High Sherif of the County, having adverted to the riots which had occurred in the town, ezptessed his determination ofpreserving the peace, without regard to personal feelings of any kind. Mr. WYNNE, of Hazelwood, nominated Lieute nant-Colonel Psßest►A L. Sir ROBERT Of Ca A BLESTOVIN, recommend 4 the Hon. MCKAY KING. Some debate, in a low tone of voice, took place as to polling any en that day. Dr. WALDRON, Roman Catholic Bishop of Balling, was brought up on the part of Colonel Kora ; but, after duly weighing the subject, Colonel Litwin decided that he would not receive any vote till Monday, and the Doctor retired. State of the poll on the second day (November 26): Colonel PERCEVAL, 145—Colonel KING, 139. DRIIRIt•LAII THE/ATM—The Opera of Guy Man nering was performed on Saturday evening, the part of Henry Bertram by Mr. BRAMAN. He was in un tisuislly fine voice, and executed his different airs with spirit and exquisite taste. Dr. CLARKS'S cele ertliedsomposition, The last words of Marmion," afforded Mr. BIAHAM a most favourable opportunity for the display of his scientific powers. The justly popular song-4 , Scots wha ha'e," was givelt with a 'degree of boldness, energy, and decision, every way worthy of this fine national air. It was enthusiasti cally encored. Mr. RATNIR, from the York Theatre, made his first appearance in London as Dandle Din. moat. He is the best representative of the bold, honest, super.titious countryman we have seen since the Stage 'was deprived of the humorous services of Mr. EMSRT. His performance was much applauded. Mrs. AUSTIN sustained the character of Lucy Bertram with much ability. After the Opera, a new Divertitement, en titled " The Halt of the Caravan, " was performed. A caravan' on its journey halts to efresh, and whilst in this situation, the Mayes are required, for the amusement of t heir master and of themselves, to dance after the manner of their respective countries. This affords an opportunity of. introducing several national dances amongst them. The Pas Rune, the Spanish Belem a hornpipe a CAtiglaise, and a grand Asiatic Pau de deux, by Mr. and Mrs. loans, Mr. and Mrs. OSCAR Byaux,: and Miss Taxa. The horn pipe a rAtgleite by Mrs. Stays, Mrs. Nonce, and Miss TRES, was repeated with a gemeral encore. The scenery is pretty, and the dresses and decontiona splewlid and appropiate ; and the Beilet dui:gushing was' moss favours* received, a 243,1 Ns 730 9377 .~. !;
