The following curious letter from the Lord
LOVA; of the year 1745, is given in a work
which is just published. An " Historical Ac•
count of the Family of Fraser :"
" DEAR LOCHIEL, "September, 1745.
" I fear you have been ower rash in going ere affairs were
ripe. You are in a dangerous state. The Elector's General,
Cope, is in your rear, hanging at yr tail, wt 3,000 men, such as
have not been seen heir since Dundee's affair, & we have no
force to meet him. If ye Macphersons wd tak ye field, Iwd
bring out my lads to help ye work, & 'twixt ye twa we might
cause Cope keep his Xmas heir ; bUt only Cluny is earnest in
ye cause, & my Lord Advocat plays at cat and moose wt me:
but times may change, and I may bring him to ye Saint John-
stone's tippet. Meantime look to yourselves, for ye may expect
many a sour face & sharp weapon in ye.south. I'll aid when
I can ; but my prayers are all I can give at present. My ser-
vices to ye Prince; but I wish he had not come heir soe empty
handed. Siller would go far in the Highlands. 1 send ys be
Ewan Fraser, wm I have charged to give it to yourself; for
were Duncan to find it, it wd be my head to an onion. Farewell.
" Your faithful friend,
" For " LOVAT."
" Ye Laird of Lochiel,

" Yese."

The rumour that Lord PELIIAM intends offer
ing himself as a candidate for the borough of Lewes gains
ground, and such an event is now looked upon as more than
probable.—(Brighton Paper.)
The foundation-stone of the Hospital of JOHN
WATSON'S mortification was laid yesterday, in part of the
Dean property. above Bell's Mills, in presence of the Sheriff,
the Lord Provost, and Magistrates, and the Directors of the
fund. In the bottle, which is hermetically sealed, were placed
a copy of the deed of settlement of Mr. Watson, and deed of
destination by the trustees; a copy of the Act of Parliament for
extending the purposes of the deed of destination; a copy of
the regulations ; a list of the Society of Writers to the Signet ;
a list of the Office-Bearers of the Fund ; an Edinburgh Al-
manack ; a set of Edinburgh Newspapers, &c. This Hos-
pital is for the maintaining and education of destitute child-
ren, and bringing them up to be useful members of society ;
and also for assisting, in their outset in life, such of them as
may be thought to deserve and require such aid. This hos-
pital is endowed from the funds of the late John Watson, W.S.
who, in the year 1759, conveyed his whole property to trustees,
to be laid out in such pious and charitable uses, within the
city of Edinburgh, as they might judge proper. The Trus.
tees, the late Lord Milton, and Mr. John Mackenzie, of Del-
vin, W.S., " resolved to apply the free income of the trust
estate, for the pious and charitable purpose of preventing
child murder, by an hospital within the city of Edinburgh,
for receiving, secretly, infant children, and bringing them up
to be useful members of society; and by. receiving privately
women big with child, and assisting them in their delivery, so
as to conceal their shame, and taking care of their children as
foundlings ;" and they devolved the management of the charity,
after their own deaths, on the principal keeper, deputy-keeper,
and commissioners of the writers to the signet. The fund,
which in 1781 amounted to 47211. ss. 6d. has been accumulated
by the care and attention of the keepers and commissioners, and
now exceeds 90,0001. But doubts being entertained as to the
propriety of an hospital for the purpose pointed out by the
trustees, an Act of Parliament, was obtained 24th June, 1822,
for erecting an hospital for destitute children.—( Edinburgh
Observer, July 5 )
REMARKABLE CASE.—There is a person of
middle age in the vicinity of Boston who has nothing but the
muscles and common integuments to cover or defend the heart
on the left side of the thorax. The heart's pulsation can be
seen distinctly, even pressing itself beyond the anterior side of
the sternum. This is a great curiosity to the anatomist, and
strikes those who are acquainted with the beautiful mechanism
of this never-tiring organ with astonishment, as it seems, on
viewing this phenomenon, as though every succeeding diastole
would burst the heart, and sever the thread of life in an instant.
The facts in relation to the case as simply these :—When the
individual of whom we are speaking was a child, by some
strange accident all the ribs about this part were badly frac-
tured, but instead of uniting again, by a deposition of ossific
matter, the absorbents took away the injured bone, anti none
was afterwards formed, thus leaving the heart entirely unpro-
tected. Even the puncture of a pin at this tender point would
be his death, and yet he is apparently so careless of his
existence,
.that he never has provided himself with any pectoral
defence beside his common clothing.—(American Medical Li-
telligencer.)
PlliwPs, in his Book on Inland Navigator],
states, " that the yearly profits produced by the
Canals in Ilolland are almost beyond belief, be-
ing above 6251. per mile, the square surface of
which mile does not exceed two acres of ground.
A share in the Ayr and Calder Navigation, in
Scotland, which cost six hundred pounds to one
of the Proprietors, nets him en income of 9001.
