PROPOSED ADDRESS AND MEMORIAL.

The humble Address and Memorial of the Peers of Scotland.
To the King's Most Excellent Majesty,—We, your Ma-
jesty's loyal and dutiful Councillors and subjects, the Peers of
Scotland, beg leave to approach the Throne, and humbly to
represent to your Majesty, that the Chapel Royal of your
Palace of Holyrood-house, appointed to be the chapel of the
most ancient and most noble Order of the Thistle, is in a very
ruinous condition, and we earnestly pray
.that your Majesty
may be graciously pleased to take its situation into your Royal
consideration.
In consequence of the great inconvenience which we experi-
ence when assembled at Holyrood-house _for the purpose of
electing our Representatives to the United Parliament, we called
upon your Majesty's Usher of the White aoa, whose duty we
conceive it is, as the Usher of the Parliament, and of the Peers
of Scotland, to attend to such matters, to report to us how it
might be remedied. And as his Report, with our approbation
thereof, accompany this Memorial, it is not necessary to repeat
what is therein stated, nor to add other reasons in support of the
present application. Referring to that Report, we conclude
our humble suit, by prying on behalf of ourselves, and on that
of a most loyal, a most gallant, and a most important part of
the United Empire,
That it may please your Most Excellent Majesty, to take
into your Majesty's consideration the propriety of restoring
the ancient Chapel Royal of Holyrood-house to its former
state and splendour, •so as to enable the Peers of Scotland to
conduct their meetings with becoming dignity and decorum,
by holding their elections under the banners of their most
ancient and most noble national Order of the Thistle, which
will add much to the comfort of the Peers, and be an ever-
' lasting proof to the people of Scotland of the high sense
your Majesty entertains of their meritorious services in the
late war, and their devotion in defence of the rights of the
,British Empire.
The Address was not presented, but was signed by 27 Peers,
and is still in the hands of some of their Lordships.
His Majesty, in the handsomest and most liberal manner,
has sent a donation of one hundred guineas to the Society for
relief of the Industrious Blind of Scotland.—The Royal Infir-
mary has received a mark of royal favour, his Majesty having
ordered a donation of two hundred guineas to, be paid to the
Treasurer, in aid of the funds of the charity.—His Majesty has
also sent a donation of one hundred guineas to the Treasurer
of the Lunatic Asylum, for the benefit of that institution.

( From the Edinburgh Courant of August 22.)
