SCOTTISH HospiTAL.—Yesterday, the Anni.
versary Dinner of the Spring Meeting of this excellent' Insti-
tution, took place at the Freemasons' Tavern. The Chair was
occupied by Lord GLENORCHY, supported by Sir P. Durham,
Sir W. Maxwell, Sir D. Anstruther, Sir It. Birnie, the Hon.
Mr. Dundas, &c. The object of this Charity is to relieve pocr
and distressed Scotchmen, who, having no claim to parochial
assistance, would be beggars and vagrants in the streets of the
Metropolis, were it not for the exertions of this laudable Cor-
poration. The relief given is not confined to the distribution
of small pen: • ins to those who reside in London, but numbers
are supplied with the means to return to their native country,
and many men, women, and children, are every year enabled to
go back to Scotland. Last year, from the Ist of May, 1824, to
the 30th of of April last, this Corporation gave aid to 1,288 in-
dividuals, many of whom were sent home to their native land,
the expences of their passage being paid. When the adventu-
rous and emigrating spirit of the Scotch is considered, aral,that
all of them do not succeed in realizing their ambitious hopes,
and acquire wealth and independence, but many must fail in
the pursuit, and become the victims of want and disease, the
advantages of this Charity are rendered sufficiently obvious.—
Such seemed to be the case last night, when from 3001. to 4001.
were collected. Much conviviality prevailed, many songs were
rung, and Sinclair gave " Auld lang syne," in his best style.
JUDGMENT.—This day, in the Court of RING'S
BENCH, Thomas Cobden and Edward Pattison, two officers
belonging to the Board of Excise appeared on the floor of the
Court for judgment. It appeared their occupation was at a
paper-mill in Tent; it was their duty to see all paper
legally stamped and entered, In which capacity, how-
ever, they had contrived to carry on a systematic fraud for
h eig teen months, by which the Revenue sustained a 1o:is to a
very considerable amount in charging duty on reams of paper
not legally stamped.—Mr. Justice BAYLEY sentenced Cobden
to 18 months confinement in the House of Correction at Maid-
stone, and Pattison to 12 months in the same gaol.
EISTEDDVOD.—Lord Clive and Sir C. Morgan, Bart.,• of
Tredegar, are appointed Presidents of the day, at the approach-
ing meeting of the Welsh Bards and Minstrels, in London.
LIsT9IS is returned to town after his excursion
to Edinlitt&h, where his success has been complete. The
Comedy of Sweethearts and Wives was repeated eight times in
the Theatre Royal of the metropolis of the North—a circum.:. •
stance nearly unexampled, and a marked tribute to the talents`
of this favourite actor. Liston is going to Cheltenham to rus-
ticate, with a view to renovate his health, before the commence-
ment of his summer campaign, at the little Theatre, in the
Haymarket.

FUSELT was the last surviving member of the
Royal Academy who was not an Englishman.
in consequence of a hoard being erected round
York House, and the small houses at the back of
it, which are shortly to be pulled down, it has
been found necessary to close the gate leading to
the Green Park by the King's Library.
