TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Under the head Sporting Intelligence in your
paper of the 29th inst., is an account of a disgraceful
turf transaction at Newmarket, and ono of the parties is
stated to be " a Mr. Hughes, of Worcester." As one
bearing that name, and well known in this city, I beg to
inform you that I am not the person referred to, nor do
I believe from inquiries I have made, that any party of
the name of " Hughes," residing in, or known in this
vicinity, has been concerned directly, or indirectly, 113
any such transaction. The name and address are there-
fore an error, or may have been assumed fi. otitiously by
some person to protect himself from the infamy of his
conduct.—l am, Sir, your most obediently,
IV. S. F. HUGHES.
Worcester, Oct. 30, 1852.

THE SCOTTISH HOSPITAL FESTIVAL.—The annual
dinner held by the directors and friends of tbis excellent and
ancient institution in honor of St. Aac ndrethi s w (the patron saion
nt
of Scotland) is announced to take ple year as usual,
the 30th inst., in the London Tavern, with more than ordi-
nary eclat. This gathering of the men of the north creates
on every occasion national interest among them, because on
that occasion they are met, not merely for hilarity alone, but
to perpetuate social friendship and aid in the holy
pcaautrsieotoicf
charity and benevolence. These are objects suffiacpipeenatrosf

Advocate for Scotlard—supported by u
persons, named as stewards ; among whom are three

bankers, merchants, artists, and others in various positions in
life. With such distinguished support, it is to be hoped, that
the funds of the useful charity,forwhose benefit this anni-
versary is held, will be sensibly affected by the demonstration
—for it must be admitted, that although it may be consi-
dered a strictly national meeting, unconnected as it were,
with any institution—still it is to, the untiring exertions of
its Secretary (Major Adair) that Scotsmen owe the counten-
ance of so many eminent individuals at their festival : and
we only hope, that so numerous will be the demand for
tickets, that the gallant:l ioajyaLilll
