SCOTTISH HOSPITAL.

Wednesday was held the St. Andrew's festival of this laud-
able institution, which has been this year pat out of its usual
course by that melancholy event winch has postponed every
plan of national or private festivity.. From the same cause
the Duke of Clarence' who was expected to be Chairman,
was unable to attend. A great assemblage of the friends of
the Society had collected at six o'clock. At about a quarter
past six the Chairman, 51r. Ur. Watson Taylor, as substit
for the Royal Doke, entered the room, accompanied by the
Stewards, and preceded by a bagpipes, whose roll al-
though appropriate enough in the hall of a Highland
or at the head of a Highland regiment, seemed rather over.
powering for the London Tavern, and does not appear a ne-
cessary appendage of the Scottish Society, or of the patron
Saint attic institution. Before dinner glace was said by the
Rev. Dr. Waugh, who merited the distinction of Honorary
Complain to the Socigiy by a Sermon, in the course of the
year, which increased its tnnds by 9gl. Gow's band, which
was engaged for the occasion, was not inactive iu playing na.
tiunal airs, and in gratifying the company with the most ap.
propriate tunes. After the usual loyal and prtriutic toa,ts,
to which was added, with becoming expressions of sympa-
thy, that of Prince Coborg, the Secretary proceeded to give
mt account of the nature, objects, proceediugs, and (we are
glad to at:it) prosperity of the association. Since last spring
meeting, where the largest subsea iption ever known was col-
lected, several great donations had been given or continued,
and neat lv 3uol. had been contributed by thus- who went to
hear the sermons of Des. Chalmers and Waugh.
-

In the Course of the year, above 300 individuals had been
relieved by the bounty of the Society, or had been sent back
to their native country, free of expence, by its assistance.—
The unparalleled distress of last year had called forth unpa-
ralleled exertions; and besides the subscriptions which from
their natm e wine expended for the immediate purposes of
the charity, 3001. had been funded for its future use. The
speeches were made by the Chairman, by Sir T. Dell, by Dr.
Waugh, and by Mr. Lawrie, were addressed principally to
the benevolent feelings and the purses of the company ; and
their utility and poser si ill be best seen by an inspection of
the secretary's books. Their operation was aided in this way
by the great assemblage of the people present, by the songs,
the toasts, thew rue, and even the bagpipes, which, by open-
ing the heart and awakening national associations, showed
their combined effect towards the close of the meeting, in
the alacrity of the subscribers, and the extent of the contri-
butions. The night passed away in that hilarity, cordiality,
and harmony, which accorded so well with the liberal purpose
of the meeting.

THE PRINCE LEOPOLEL—On Monday morning the
Prince Leopold left Claremont, and proceeded to Wind-
sor, on a visit to the Princesses Augusta and Sophia.—
His Serene Highness being expected, fires were lighted,
and apartments were prepared for his reception at the
Upper Lodge. The Prince proceeded to the Royal
vault, where lie vented his grief over the remains of
his beloved Princess for near an hour. In his visit to
the Princesses Augusta and Sophia, he gazed on the
portraits of the Princess Charlotte, lately finished by
Mr. Damve, which the Princesses have had put up in
their apartments. His Serene Highness returned to
Claremont to dinner, and arrived a little before five
o'clock, and found Mr. Dykes, the King's Messenger,
waiting with 3 letter to his Serene Highness from the
Princess of Wales, in answer to the communication
containing the distressing, intelligence of the death of
her daughter. Tuesday was Prince Leopold's birth-
day ; on that day P.! months the first painting of the
Prince Leopold, by Mr. Dawc, was taken home com-
pletely finished, as arranged by her Royal Highness.
His beloved Consort had made other arrangements for
the second anniversary of the Prince's natal day, for a
till-length likeness of herself, by time same artist, which
she sat thr a kw days previous to her death, and it was
to have gone home on that day, to correspond with
that of the Prince Leopold's.

Tuesday was observed in solemn silence at Clare-
mont. 'the Prince's mind was a little.relicve,l by the
arrival et' a likeness of the Princess by Sir TOomas
Lawrence : Sir Thomas took it himself from Loinlon.
It has been for some time in the possession of the Prince
Regent, at Carlton House; :and was sent to Prince
Leopold at his desire. The picture is to be returned to
Sir Thomas on Prince Leopold's departure for Wey-
mouth, in order that a full-length copy of it may be
taken for the purpose of engraving.

His Serene Higliners Prince Leopold does not im-
prove in health. For some time his body, as well as
his mind, has been severely atkicted. He has expe-
rienced for several days extreme agony in his head,
from rheumatic attacks. He has bemi afflicted with
severe spasms. On Sunday, however, when Lord
Lauderdale Nisited his Serene Highness, be was better.
The Noble Earl passed the day with hint. I lis High-
ness still preserves the same retired habits ; he conti-
nues inaccessible to all, except u few chosen friends ;
passing his time in Jeep riluction on the vicissitudes
of this life; and he cads his late happiness " a tran-
sient dream."

On the 921 of October, the ship Prince of Orange
encountered a severe gale, which threw her op her
beam-ends, and leashed overboard 100 head of mules,
and other wise &waged the vessel aiul cargo : she was
then in lot 17. lon. 71. This WAS the day after :he
hurricane, which had nut rcaehed Jamaira. I 1 ei Ma-
jesty's ship La Pique, of :;;7; guns, sailed for Triad, ad,
de Cuba, and the Havannali, on the -}th of November,
to demand, at the latter place, the restitution of arc-
tic taken worn his Majesty's ship Tay.
