The tender of the Wcolwieh Iron Company, Bir kenhead, hue bail accepted by the Lottls of the Admiralty for the manufacture of iron masts, Er the ironclad frigate Lord Warden, 24, 1,000 horse power, under construction at Chatham dock yard. Like the Bellerophon, 14, 1,000 horse power iron frigate, also building at Chatham, the Lord Watden will be fitted with steel yards, and she will also carry iron topmasts, The preparation of the 6 inch armour plate© which will encase the sides of the Lord Warden has been in progress for some time pest, and the work of fixing the armour will be commenced in the course of a few days. The whole of the plates have been manufactured at the Atlas Works, Sheffield, by Messrs John Brown and Co., and aro of the best possible description of rolled iron, while, at the same time, they are the heaviest yet applied to a sea-going ship of war. In all previously constructed armour eased vessels the difficulty of supporting the enormous mass of armour bolted to their sides by giving the requisite dis• placement to the ship, while at the same time re. raining necessary qualities, has been so great othe rthat designers have been only too glad t e h q e ua lly to reduce the weight and quantity of the plates in every possible manner. Hence in nearly the whole of the ships of our present squadron of ironolads the the armour plates have_been carried but little below the water, the ports have been kept as low as pos. Bible, the armour—and in this lies the chief consi deration—has been thinned down at the bow and stern to obtain the minimum quantity of metal, and in short weight has been saved in every other prac. tical way. The designer of the Lord Warden, Mr Reed, the Chief Constructor of the Navy, has made provision for carrying the armour plates of a thick ness never before placed on the sides of a wooden hull, well down under water. Instead of the port sills being only some 6ft. above the water, as in the case with most of the previously built iron clads, the Lord Warden's ports are to be nowhere The Late Gale. .. SHIELDS, Tuesday Night. On Sunday seternoon the bodies of Mr Shesd, the master, and Alfred Page, the cabin boy of the Friendship, of Col cheater. were Interred. Thin afternoon the hodlea cl the mate, Alfred I\li , eleeli, William Clerk, seaman, and. William Button, an orphan lad, the remainder of the crew of that unfortunate ship, w ere rerucved from the Tertiperanee-hall e to the new, cemetery to be interred. The liearee was fol lowed by all the Colchester shipmasters and their crews who were in port. Upon entering the cemetery the coffins were taken out of the hearse, the mate's was covered with a union jack, and the other two young men's with ensigne, and they were borne on the eleculders Dr - seitarn le the grave. Some hundreds of tailors-and-fishermen's Wives followed the funeral to the grave. An old man named Roberts arrived here to-day froill the north of Scotland, and identified a body in the Temperance. - Hall, as that of his daughter Jessie Roberts: The bodiei of two middle-aged women remain unidentified in the Tem perance-hall. They are supposed to be those `of Mrs Pratt and Mrs - Smith,, and will be interred to-morrow., The - National Lifeboat Society have' been very prompt in made ing down a new lifeboat to Tynereouth to replace the Con- • stance, disabled. The new lifeboat, the Robert Whitworth,- bought by subscriptions raised at Manchester, Was received yesterday, and was immediately placed on the station. A volunteer corps is being organised in Tynemouth to eze operate with the Coastguerdmen in saving life from ship. wreck by means of Manly's rocket apparatus. The coroner's inquest upon the bodies found and iden tified lost with the Stanley and the Friendship was resumed this afternoon, in the Town-hall, North Shields, by the deputy coroner for Northumberland. James Gilbert, of Tynmouth, who acted as coxswain of the Constance lifeboat on the night of Thursday last, said, —We proceeded with the lifeboat towards the Stanley. We got close under the tow of the Stanley when a sea came and broke all the oars, except two on each side. The boat next caught the fore rigging of the Friendship, and part of her side was driven in. I stuck to the boat, and four of the crew got on board the Friendship. We were not lashed to the life boat. The Friendship was on the rocks, and she fell over with mast to the south. We had an opportunity of speaking to the crew of the Friendship. They made no answer to us. They seemed to be paralysed. We were able to get safe ashore in our boat, and it the rest of the crew had remained in the boat they might have been saved, The boat was nearly perpendicular in the water. Three of the men were thrown into the rigging. The fourth jumped on board and was saved. It is not:the practice to be lashed into the life. boats. I was once 11 hours in the lifeboat, when we saved several crews. I was not lashed in. No man would like to be tied in. Every man had his cork jacket. John Main, chief mate of the Stanley, said—We sailed from Aberdeen on Wednesday last. I was acquanted with the channel of the Tyne from the entrance upwards. When we got off this coast the captain determined to bring the Stanley into the Tyne. The captain asked me if I thought it would be practicable to go in. The tide was then about an hour from low water. 1 saw it advertised in the papers that there was as much as from 17 to 18 feet on the bar at low water. The water shallows up towards the lighthouse. I don't know to what extent, but tho ship would have been safe. I think she would have got as far as the lighthouse without taking the ground. Above that she would have grounded; but she would have been in safety opposite the lighthouse. He decided to come in, and I said. I would do my endeavours to bring her in. Neither lights were lighted at the time. I said I thought there was plenty of water, or something to that effect. I felt confident from my previous knowledge that I could bring her safely up the channel. There are no guides ; but I knew we ought to steer W. half N. The captain and I were both on the bridge. I told the captain how to steer and the captain gave the orders. We took W. half N., and were guided by the surf on each side. A heavy sea struck the vessel on the starboard quarter, and she run against her starboard helm. By that means sho was driven to the north. The see drove her where she was. She is only 20 or 30 yards out of the channel now. Before the sea struck her she was in her right channel. The regulation as to the lights is, to put them out at quarter ebb and re-light them at quarter good. I went on the sup position that at any time theiewas watp:cnpligit to seams, °Vet Therher. 'Our shi?d rely I'd ft. 'Of water. There one seamen and the second mate at the wheel when the sea struck her. We have never mere than two men at the wheel when taking the bar. After we struck she was kept going at lull steam to try to get her off. She went ahead a little, and then stuck fast. We then sang out for assist ance. I did not give orders to get out the waist boat. The crew did it themselves. I superintended it, and kept part of the ladies from getting in. When the boat was ready, four ladies, three seamen, and one fireman got into the boat. I gave orders for lowering the boat. The davit broke right in two, close up to the neck. I cannot account for it. I sang out to cut the rope at the other end, but we could not get a knife, and the end of the boat was immersed before we parted. Three sailors got on board by means of ropes held out to them. The four ladies and the fireman Gordon were drowned. The captain then gave orders to get the other boat out. The men would not go near hand. To the best of my belief the men had lost control. Another sea came and washed away the remainder of the boats. We then waited until assistance came from the shore. The nearest lifeboat to us was about 20 or 30 yards outside. At a later part of the evening the ship parted in two. Before she parted some passengers and the engineer, who were on the bridge, were washed overboard. There were none at the stern when she parted. Before that I advised the ladies to come eft the bridge, but they would not let go the railing. I was on the crane. The rocket apparatus was brought to us before the vessel parted. When we got a communication with the shore, the second mato and I took charge of it. We fastened it to the bulkheads. That was about the level of the topgallant fore castle. I did not hear the captain make any remark that was not the proper place for it. I believe he did make that remark, but I did not hear it. I thought the rocket had been fired from the cliff; and it would have been very difficult to get the women to the masthead. That was the reason why I did not fix the rope higher in the ship. A seaman was the first and the second mato was the second to go ashore. They got ashore safely. The next was a woman, accome panied by a seaman. They were unable to get across, and in drawing them back they fell out of the cradle. A fire man went next, but the cradle got foul of the water, and he was obliged to leave the cradle and return. No further attempts were made that night. The hauling-line fouled. L'efere the steamer parted the hawser broke. Nothing was done after that till the morning, when the rocket was used, and we were all taken off. On the second occasion we fastened the rope to the masthead, We saw them on the rocks then. It was a lower elevation. It was lower down to the ship at any rate than when it was fired before. I cannot say if we might have kept the ship out at sea with safety. less than Bft. 6in. above the load waterline. The armour at the stem and stern will not be pared down to a couple of inches in thickness, and there will be scarcely any difference between the thick ness of the plates at stern and bow and those at the broadside portion of the frigate. The armour itself will be 51- inches in thickness from the lower edge, carried down about 5 ft. below the water-line, to 2 ft. above the water's surface, and all round the gun battery, amidships, where the usual 4-1- in, an mour will be placed, an extra iron skin-plating of 11 in. thick is already being worked upon the frames of the frigate behind the outer planking. The total thickness of the vessel's side will thus be rather more than 3 ft., of which 6 . 1 inches will be of iron, through which both shot and shell will have to penetrate before reaching the gunners in the battery. In the trials made with the Lord Warden target at Shoeburyness a short time since, to test the shot and shell resisting powers of the Lord Warden, although the target was ultimately knocked to pieces by ordnance of exceptional weight, it was, nevertheless, found capable of withstanding even the 300. pounder gun firing solid spherical shot with 50Ib. of powder, and the target at length only suc cumbed under trials more than usually severe. As there is no gun at all approaching in efficacy the 300-pounder yet in use in the French navy, and as the largest description of Federal guns lately proved ineffective against the inferior plating of the Con federate ram Tennessee, it cannot be doubted that the Lord Warden is perfectly impregnable to the existing ordnance of the French and American navies, while, on the other hand, the frigate herself will be capable of carrying guns of a larger and far more powerful kind than any in use in any other navy in the world. Althongh•the Lord Warden will carry 1,400 tons of armour-plating bolted to her sides her designer does not intend to effect this at the sacrifice of speed. On the contrary, provision has been made for her rate of steaming to surpass that of any of the previously constructed wooden built frigates sent afloat, either with or without ar mour. To effect this engines of 1,000 horse power (nominal) are now being prepared fnr her, but by means of great expansion, surface condensation, super-heating, and other modern steam engine im provements, never before fitted to an armour-plated frigate, an indicated horse power of :6,000 will be obtained, sufficient to drive the mass through the sea at an average rate of 14 knots an hour: The Geyser, 6, paddle sloop, Commander Thrupp, returned to Portsmouth from her cruise off Dunge ness in search of the wreck of the merchant ship Robin Hood yesterday morning. Commander Thrupp reports having found the Robin Hood lying in five fathoms water, just inside the Stevenson shoals, and about five miles west of Dungeness. Her royal yards were across, and above water, but the sails had been unbent by the crew of a Deal lugger. The day the wreck was found (Sunday last) was fine, but there was a heavy " send of the sea over the wreck, and it was found quite im possible to do anything of importance with the Geyser's limited means. A diver was sent down to the wreck, and a brief inspection made of her state, which was embodied in a report forwarded by Commander Thrupp to the Admiralty, who, in reply, directed the Geyser to return for the present to Portsmouth, where her services are required to. day to convey seamen and marines paid off from her Majesty's ships Marlborough and Ariel to the De. vonport. It is not improbable that the Admiralty will leave the further measures to be taken for the recovery of the Robin Hood and her cargo to pri vate persons who are accustomed to such opera tions, and have the proper appliances for carrying on that description of work at their command, Capt. Sherard Osborn, C. 8., yesterday went on board his ship the Royal Sovereign, at Portsmouth' for the last time as her commanding officer, Capt. Osborn resigning his command of the ship this morning on the completion of his captain's service in sea time entitling him to flag rank on the active list.

Her books and accounts are kept. on board and entirely separate from those of the ship (Excellent) to which she has been formally attached as a tender tempo• rarily for experimental purposes—and, in fact, the appointment of a captain and a certain number of officers and men to fill up her complement would render her competent to cross the Channel at a day's notice on active service. Various and modified orders have been issued from the Admiralty re specting the ship, but she now appears to be held in hand for any possible unforeseen contingency as readily as possible under the circumstances. The alterations on board are in accordance with the sug• Two or three witnesses swore that the Coastguardsman behaved most heroically but that the lines could not be brought after 8 o'clock at night on account of the sea. The jury, after a carefully summing up by the coroner, returned the following verdict :—" We are all agreed that the loss of the Friendship was purely accidental; also the Stanley, but we attach blame to the mate and master by taking the bar too soon before the lights were lit; and as to the harbour lights, we would recommend that they shall be .kept in continually without alteration in the light so long as there is 17ft water upon the bar, and that when there is not 17ft there must be an alteration."

Morocco, Portland, Globule, and Creole first showed in advance, but in the first few hundred yards The Rogue rushed to the front and led to' the stand, where Meanwood, who had been waiting, took up the running, followed by The Rogue, Ballinasloe, Creole, Portland, and Le Vidame in pretty close order, whilst at an interval of several lengths followed Flyfisher, Globule, Sly Fox, Morocco,' Acrobat, Beechnut, Benedict, Dobbyn, Spatchcock, and Woodford, in whose rear came Piggy Wiggy, Jerry, and Princess of Wales some distance in the rear. After crossing the ploughed land Meanwood assumed a long lead and Creole took second place, The Rogue, Port land, and Dobbykeleie tekther next, with Flyfisher imme diately in their rear': — Scrice - dietailee separated this lot from Morocco, Spatchcock, Sly Fox, and Globule, who were next in pursuit, a long way from the leaders, the lot being whipped in by Jerry and Princess of Wales. Approaching the stand in the second time, Flyfisher ran into third place, but rising the hill gave way, and there The Rogue went to the front, Meanwood and Ballinasloe occupying second and third places, with Flyfisher, Portland, Sly Fox, Morocco, and Spatchcock in close company following, whilst Jerry and Princess of Wales were tailed off in the first two miles. Upon entering the ploughed land a second time, Morocco ran up to the leader, but after taking a "feeler," again dropped into the sixth or seventh position, and descending the hill on the opposite side of the course to that of the stand Meanwood, at an improved pace, in creased his lead, and Flyfisher took second place. The pace now told upon Creole, Dohbyn, The Rogue, Portland, and Morocco, who throughout had occupied a prominent position, but who half a mile from home were entirely out of the race, and Meanwood at this point coming to grief the lead was left with Flyfisher, next to whom were Sly Fox and Spatchcock, nothing else being near the trio, As they swept round the turn at the bottom of the course Sly Fox and Spatchcock gradually drew upon Flyfisher, whom the pair caught at the last fence, which was charged at the same moment by the three. Safely alighted, the three commenced a resolute race, and though Spatchcock appeared to have the worst of the struggle with Sly Fox a distance from home, the latter, who is said to be in the same interest as " the Cock," tried and was beaten by a head ; two lengths separated the second and third.

Royal Scottish Hospital, The 200th or bi-centenary festival of this institution took place yesterday evening at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, being St. Andrew's day, the patron Saint of Scotland. As might be expected, a very large company sat down to dinner in the spacious, lofty, and well-lighted ball, under the presidency of his Grace the Duke of Montrose, K.T. Nearly 250 gentlemen were pre sent. A brief outline of the history of an institution which after two centuries of activity finds itself neither paralysed nor impaired by the lapse of time, may be worth considera tion in this age of philanthropic schemes of all kinds, and at the same time offer valuable-and -practical suggestions to those who wish to pursue a similar course in endowing insti tutions, which in their practical operation are calculated amidst all changes of time and circumstances really to effect the object aimed at. " The Scottish Hospital owes its origin to a society formed a short time after the accession of King James I. for relieving the less fortunate individuals of the Scottish nation. The society continued to exer&se its benevolent purposes under the designation of the Scottish Box,until the reign of Charles IL, when in the year 1665 a charter of incorporation, under its present designation, was granted, empowering the society to hold lands, and to erect an hospital for the reception of the objects of the charity. A second charter of incorpora tion was granted by the same monarch in the year 1676, containing more extended privileges. Within a few:yeara after the date of the first charter an hospital was built; bat experience soon proved that confinement to a charity work house was altogether uncongenial to the feelings and habits of the Scottish poor. The maintenance of an hospital or receptacle for the objects of the charity was in consequence relinquished, and the plan of assisting and relieving them at their own habitations substituted. That assistance was confined to such natives of Scotland, resident in London, as had become members by paying stated contributions to the society, in virtue of which they were entitled to relief when in want. To enable the corporation to extend its relief to such objects, it became necessary to obtain a new charter, which was granted by Geo. 111., in the year 1715,whereby the Scottish Hospital of the foundation of King Charles 11. was re-incorporated. A sum is set apart for the support of five persons exceeding 65 years of age, who have occupied a respectable social position in society, and who have a per manent income of not less than £l5 but not more than £3O per annum ; for 10 poor infirm persons, exceeding 72 years of age, to whom a pension of £l5 per annum is allowed; for 90 above 68, to whom £lO is allowed. The vacancies which occur by deaths or other removal of the pensioners are filled up at a general election, twice a year, on the last Wednesdays of April and October. Pensions of £6 are granted to 50 persons selected from the casual list. Monthly casual relief to upwards of 200 is awarded by the committee, and free passages to Scotland to such as require them. From the Kinloch Bequest pensions are given to about 600 disabled soldiers and sailors. The charity of the hospital is applicable to the poor natives of Scotland and their children, resident in the metropolis and its immediate neighbourhood, who not being in receipt of any parochial relief in this country, would in ago and poverty, in sickness or distress, or when in want of employment, be exposed to the utmost wretchedness, or to discreditable beggary, but for the fostering relief afforded them by this institution. These poor natives of Scotland resident in London who may desire to spend the remainder of their days in Scotland, have free paessges granted thorn by the corporation, From a view of the numbei s relieved it is evident that while this institu- t ion is a real blessing to the aged, the helpless, the diseased and the unemployed poor of Scotland, resident in London, Westminster, and the neighbourhood, extending to a circle of ten miles radius from the hall of the corporation, it is of incalculable benefit to the community at large, who by means of this charity are spared the pain of beholding so great an addition, as otherwise there would be, of our des titute fellow-creatures seeking their wretched pittance in the streets, liable to be taken up as vagrants and sent to the House of Correction, and probably subjected to greater evils and disgrace. From the accumulation of a subscription which was raised in India 30 years ago, the corporation is now enabled to allot £l2O a-year to the ministers and kirk sessions of the several congregations of the Scottish churches in London and Westminster, for the purpose of affording education to the children of Scottish parents at the schools attached to these churches; There are also governors of the institution, gentlemen of eminence in the medical profession, who in all cases requiring their aid and advice are ready to give their time and pro fessional services to the poor gratuitously. The Scottish Hospital is in a more prosperous condition at the present moment than it has over been during the 200 years of its existence. During the past year the total income from all sources amounts to £4,900 15s 4d, being an increase of £674 Ils 6d over last year's income, which was the most success ful year ever known during the existence of the charity. The amount received in donations and subscriptions has during the last two years been doubled, and the sums given to deserving applicants proportionately increased. In conse quence of the liberal subscriptions received, the directors have formed five new pensions of £25 each per annum; and to give temporary relief in urgent cases often to a considerable amount; the charity is thus the means of alleviating much suffering and of preserving that independence of spirit and position which it was designed to encourage and maintain." Ample justice having been done to a banquet which re fiacted the highest credit upon Messrs Shrewsbury and Elk ington, the proprietors of the Freemason's Tavern, and espe cially to those time-honoured and highly-relished dishes, minced collops, and the "great chieftain o' the pudding race"—haggis, The noble CHAIRMAN gave in succession the usual loyal and patriotic toasts. He reminded the company that her Majesty and the other members of the Royal family had always been liberal contributors to the funds of the hospital, and that, apart from all their other claims on the gra titude and loyalty of the community at large, that was a fact which deserved special recognition from that company. His Grace proposed the health of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales as "Albert Edward Prince of Wales, Duke of Rothesay, Baron! Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, and Great Steward of Scotland," amidst loud cheers, explaining, as he did so, the ancient connection which the titular Prince and heir apparent had to this special claim on their loyalty. The toaskwasenthusiastically honoured, and was followed by that of " His Royal Highness Prince Alfred, and the other members of the Royal Family," and the "Army and Navy Volunteers," given by the Chairman; and as far as the last toast was concerned, responded to by Mr B urton and Dr. Rally. His Grace, the CHAIRMAN then proposed the toast of the evening, " rho Scottish Hospital," and success to the com pany which had assembled there that day to promote the objects of that institution. It stood, as it were, apart from all other charitable institutions, not only in London, but in England. In the first place, it was one of great antiquity, as was evidenced by the fact that they were celebrating its bicentenary; and in the secand place, because the mode in which it administered relief and gave assistance was not in the slightest degree opposed to the soundest principles of political economy. Apart altogether from the pride which belonged to Scetchmen of every class, and which prevented them, even in the most desperate straits, from appealing for charity either to individuals or institutions, there was some thing in the constitution of the Scottish Hospital which peculiarly adapted itself to the national idiosyncracy. Help could be obtained whet° needful without publicity or humiliation, and hence it was, in his opinion, that the hos pital, after having gone through many hard times of late years, had come out of the furnace like pure gold, and was now better prepared than ever to carry out the grand objects of its founders. At the same time his grace reminded the company that to keep pace with the growing demands on the charity increased liberality in the subscriptions was requisite, and looking at the splendid meeting—remember ing the success which followed Scottish enterprise and de termination everywhere all over the world—he had no doubt of the future prosperity of the Royal Scottish Hospital. The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm. The Rev. Dr CUMMING proposed the health of the noble Chairman, to which his Grace briefly replied. The hall was tastefully decorated with banners, carrying the arms of the old Scottish chiefs and clans. Over the chair hung the arms of the hospital, as granted by "King Jamie," and at intervals the armorial bearings of Cameron of Lochiel, Maclean, Glengarry, M'Kenzie, Grant, M'Duff, M'Donald, Lord of the Isles ; Murray, Forbes, Gordon, The Chisholm, Stewart, Eglintoun, and other well-known names brought back the memory of a thousand years, and Evan's Donald's fame rang in each clansman's ears." The subscriptions and contributions announced in the course of the evening amounted to over £2,000.

CROYDON STEEPLECHASES-WEDNESDAY. Although the first day of this truly popular suburban meeting met with a very large amount of patronage, the at tendance on the second day was far beyond the expectation of the promoters. A dense mass of holiday- seekers lined the course, and many of the trees in the line of country taken by the' fields" were cccupied by these eager to enjoy the spectacle. The inclosure and stand met with ample sup port, and the numerous fields which started for the different events gave rise to considerable speculation. The first vent, the S elling Handicap, brought eight to the post— the favourite, however, suffered defeat, the winner turning up in Little Dick—a most welcome surprise for the fielders. Gorse Hawk again gave evidence of his improving form by defeating a large field in the Stand Plate; and the event of the day, the Metropolitan Handicap, for which 19 started, was decided in favour of Spatchcock after a good race be tween the three placed. The backers at length had a turn in the concluding race, which was wan by the favourite, Bravo. Subjoined are details of the running : A Selling Handicap of 3 soya each, with 20 added ; the winner to be sold for LIO. About two miles. 8 subs. Mr Rickards,s Little Dick, aged, lOst 121 b ....

Betting-6 to 4 agst Redwing, 100 t 0.30 agst Remune rator, 5 to 1 agst Little Dick. Redwing made play, followed by Dubious, Stays, and Alexandra, the latter of whom fell into the company of Re munerator, on arriving at the first fence. Redwing main tained the front position, followed by Coroobus filly, Little Dick, Dubious, and Stays, each in turn being second during the race. After going half the distance Stays, Remunerator, and Alexandra were beaten off, pulled up, and returned to the enclosure the contrary way to the rest. Three quarters of a mile from the finish Dubious, Little Dick, and the Corcobus filly closed with Redwing, who was deprived of the lead by Dubious almost immediately after the lot joined issue. At the tunes on the top of the hill, opposite to the stand, the Corcobus filly blundered, and at the next fence stumbled and threw her jockey, fortunately on the ploughed land, and he was up again quickly, the horse being caught at the bottom of the field. Afterwards Dubious went on with a clear lead followed by Little Dick, in whose rear, a dozen lengths off, came Redwing. Dubious maintained the lead to the last jump, which Little Dick cleared first, and coming away ascending the hill at the finish, won easily by three lengths, Redwing, beaten 20 lengths from Dubious, was the only other who passed the post, The winner was bought in for 64 guineas. The Stand Plate (Handicap), of 30 soya, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each. About two miles and a half.

Betting-5 to 2 agst Leonidas, sto 1 agst Sir Bobby, 10 to 1 each agst Mistake, The Don, Lady Coburg, Under writer and Retento. Gorse Hawk made play for a mile, when the running was taken up by Sir Bobby, who passed the stand the second time, with a clear lead of Gorse Hawk, next whom, all to gether, were Leonidas (who in a jump on the opposite side of the course had stumbled on his head), Flying Spur and Mistake, and in their rear followed the rest at long in tervals, whipped in by Lady Coburg, except Rescue, who was stopped. Crossing the ploughed land, Gorse Hawk joined Sir Bobby, the pair jumping the fence out of the ridge and furrow side by side; but Sir Bobby again went on with the running, the remainder close up, until within half a mile from home,where Flying Spur took second place, but stumbled, whereupon Gorse:Hawk and Sir Bobby ran head and head to the fence at the bottom of the hill. There Sir Bobby blundered, and Gorse Hawk came up with a clear lead, but was joined at the last fence by Flying Spur, but the latter, however, never reached her stable companion, Gorse Hawk, who won by two lengths ; Retento trotted in third, Sir Bobby \vita fourth, ligouidafi and tludorwritor, Corporation of the Scottish Hospital, The annual Court of the members of this corporation was held yesterday in the hall of the corporation, Crane-court, Fleet-street. for the purpose of receiving the annual report of the Committee of Management, with the statement of accounts for the preceding year, and as to the general busi ness of the Corporation. Ills Grace the Duke of Montrose, the President, occupied the chair. On the minutes of the previous Court being read, a long discussion ensued on the question for the confirmation of them, exception being taken by Mr Strachan to that portion of them which related to th e reso l ut i on contained in them as adopted by the previous Court, to increase the salary of the secretary to the extent of £lOO, that gentleman arguing that the annual income of the charity did not at present warrant such an increase, and moving, as an amendment to the motion for confirmation, that the minutes be confirmed with the exception of the portion referred to. Capt. SMITH seconded the amendment, contending that the increase which had taken place in the income of the charity since Mr Moir was appointed secretary did not war rant such an increase in his salary. Dr HOGG, as a member of the committee who had by a majority recommended the proposed increase in the secre• tary's salary to the general court, considered that they were justified in doing so, from the services Mr Moir had ren dered the charity, and from the increased funds he had been the means of bringing to it. The last secretary's salary was £250 with a re s id ence, an d Mr Moir's was £l5O without a residence. A n d i f they loo k e d a t th e i n crease in the income since the latt er was appo i n t e d, they would see that the committee was fully justified in recommending the increase referred to. Du r i ng the time t h e prev i ous se c r et a ry was in office, the high es t amount of income was d ur i ng th e years 1842, 1845, and 1819, when it was £ 1,706, £ 1,897, and 41,724 respectively, w hi le since M r M o ir came into office, while in 1863 it was 41,736, last year it h a d i ncrease d to £2,100. The subscriptions and donations having there.- fore been raised 20 per cent. he considered they were justi fied in making this additi on. Mr Alderman WresoN considered that after the state ment of Dr Hogg the committee were fully warranted in recommending such increase; and after some further dis cussion, Strachan's amendment was put and rejected by a maj lk ty r of 2, a n d t h o or i g i na l reso l u ti on f or t h e orlil to confirmation of the minutes agreed to. The SECRETARY then read the report of the committee of management , detailing the transactions in connexion with the charity during the past year, and which stated that the income for that period from all sources, including the ba lance carried forward from the preceding year,had amounted to £4,900 15s 4d, and the expenditure to £3,914 11a 4d, leaving a balance in hand of £986 4s. The sum given to pensioners and casual applicants during the year, including free passages to Scotland, had amounted to 12,319 Is 3d, The committee had also much pleasure in stating that dur ing the past year the income of the charity from donations and subscriptions had exceeded that of the previous year by £674 Ils Gd, the totals of these sources of income being for 1863 £1,736 13s Bd, and for 1864 £2,411 5s 93. Of that in• crease £2OB consisted of new annual subscriptions, and £466 Ils Gd of new life subscriptions and donations. While therefore congratulating the Court on the most satisfactory condition of the charity, the committee respectfully urged upon the governors the necessity of continuing their indis vidual subscriptions, and exerting their influence to induce their friends and fellow -countrymen to become subscribers. Though the fluctuating income of the institution had been largely increased, the fund at the disposal of the committee was far from commensurate with the pressing claims upon them ; at the election in October last there being 93 candi dates for the twelve vacancies on the various pension lists. With these facts before them the committee considered themselves justified in recommending to the Court to take into its serious consideratio n the p ro p ri ety of increusing the e n l u a m ss b es er o o f of the pensions, an he dll and the prospect of a consi derable increas e warranted that proposal, and its adoptio n would, in the op i nion of the committee, be a most suita ble memorial of the bicen t en ar y festival. The report and the balan ce sheet accom p an y in g it havin g especially the sec on d an d thi r d per annum. The balance in hand been adopted, Mr WEBSTER proposed that the Duke of Montrose be elected president of the corp oration for the ensuin g y ear. The thanks of every one co nnected with the charit y were duo to his Grace for the gr eat attention he bestowed u p on everything connected with it, and the interest he continued to take in its behalf, and he was certain that among the notability of Scotland they could not find a nobleman more suited for occupying the office of the president. Dr. LIDDEL having seconded the motion, it was cordially adopted, and The Duke of MONTROSE acknowledged the compliment the Court had paid him. Ile hoped, however, that by next year they would find some one better suited for the office, It was said that new broom s swe p t clean, and by the infu sion of new blood into the in stitution the y mi g ht advance its interests.
