SCOTLAND.
EDINBURGH, Sews 14.
The church collections in behalf of the Infirmary
made yesterday were liberal, as might have been ex-
pected of persons in immediate danger from a pre-
vailing epidemic. Referring to this extraordinary
collection, the managers in their circular say that
" the necessity for such a step has arisen from the
prevalence of fever among the poor sf the city and
neighbourhood, so great that not only the Infirmary
and all its outbuildings, but also five tents obtained
by permission from the military stores in the Castle,
are crowded to an extent never equalled during any
Dinner epidemic." All this is sufficiently melan-
choly ; but have the managers of the Infirmary, or
the inhabitants of Edinburgh, profited by experience
in the matter of epidemics ? Epidemics are no new
thing; some four or five years ago a brick erection
was put up for fever patients, and one night the roof
was blown off, and the miserable inmates saved from
destruction by miracle. Whit remedy did the occur-
rence of such a catastrophe suggest? Obviously, a
new hospital. Yet, in defiance of all experience,
Edinburgh and Leith have since limped on with one
hospital, and that hospital the lazar-house of the sur-
rounding country for some twenty miles. And here
we again are, with a focus of fever concentrated in a
range of dingy buildings in a dense part of the town,
and five military tents on the grounds besides.
But, the crisis past, we should be more wise
for the future. Edinburgh requires another hospi-
tal, fever statistics being judge ; the site of the
present one is not ever-salubrious for the patient, or
safe for the inhabitants; moreover, the managers have
for nearly a century had a grasp of medical patronage
which, so far as the trim interests of the Edinburgh
medical school are concerned, might have been better
managed, and which has further been fruitful of the
odium medieum to an extent that has hindered the
real progress of science. With some dozen of useless
erections, Edinburgh has only one hospital for the
sick—why not lay hold of one of these for an infir-
mary ? Skilfully managed, parliament might not be
indisposed to alter the destination of the magnificent
structure called Donaldson's Hospital, foolishly in-
tended by its founder for the boarding and educating
of the youth of a community already well nigh pau-
perised by eleemosynary educational institutions. If
inch a step to reckoned too bold, let the dean and
faculty of Advocates be asked what they have done,
or intend doing, with the 30,0001. left in their hands
in 1838, by "George Chalmers, plumber, for the'
erection and endowment of a hospital for the sick and
hart." Is that fund to be allowed to accumulate till
only the grandchildren of the present generation can
receive benefit from it P 30,0001. lying for ten years
at interest, should now be a large sum; and supple-
mented by the donations of the current inhabitants,
they should surely be allowed to reap some of its ad-
vantages; at all events the infirmary managers most
not always expect assistance when they cry " wolf!"
Confining their vocation to the reasonable compass
of ministering to a portion of Edinburgh diatom, they
do well, and should be encouraged—more they should
not attempt, because more is as impossibility.
A public meeting is to be held in Aberdeen on the
18th, for the abolition of drinking usages at funerals.
At this city, we observe from the Aberdeen Herald,
attempts have been made to close up foot-paths
patent to travellers in bygone times, and a good re-
medial suggestion has been hit on in the proposal to
revive the riding of the marches. This is an ancient
custom, and consists in the magistrates and inhabi-
tants riding over the barghal territories, or " common
good " of each town, and extending their peregrina-
tions to the bounding points of jurisdiction and psi.
'liege. Equestrian cavalcades of this kind would
make up for the loss of volunteer and militia drills,
prooesmons, and other shows which were wont to
awe the populace ; and they would carry terror to
the cock and bonnet lairds who meditate inroads on
what are called the " lungs " of large towns.
