SCOTTISH HOSPITAL.

The Spring Anniversary of this Charity was
celebrated at the Freemasons' Tavern, on Saturday kit. In
the absence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarenee, WllO
was unable, from indisposition, to attend, Lord BINNING took
the Chair.

" The King and the Royal Family" having been drank,
The CHAIRMAN propused "His Royal Highness the Duke
of Clarence." He much regretted the absence of the Illustri-
ous President, who had hitherto-by his activity, as well as V
his personal attention and purse, done all that was in hzs
power to promote the objects of the Charity.—Tune—" Rule
Britannia."

The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The Duchess of Cla-
rence," who, since her arrival in this country, had been a
liberal subscriber to the Charity.—Song--" Green grow the
rushes 0 !"
The Cuwilt MAN next proposed the " Duke of Montrose,
who had been 28 years the President of the Corporation, and
during that time had been most assidious in his attention."—
Song, ' Should auld acquaintance be forgot.'
Lord Sauroux proposed the health of'" Lord Dining," the
Noble Chairman.
His LORDSHIP returned thanks, and proposed " the Right
Honourable the Secretary of the Home Department." The
Association, he observed, had in him a sincere and valuable
friend, and no man had the interests of Scotland more at heart.
Loud cheers.)—The toast having been drank with three
times three—
Mr. YEE ra said, if he were in the society of t nglithmen, or
any other society, he should feel himself 'Justified in expressing
his feelings with respect to the character of Scotland and its in-
habitants, who had invariably distinguished themselves in im-
proving and ennobling the character of their country. There
was not a person on this aide the Tweed, whose heart beat
with a warmer attachment to Scotland than himself.—(Loud
cheers.)

The CtrArnmAN then gave, " The Duke of St. Andrew's
(the T)uke of Clarence), and Prosperity to the Scottish Cor-.
poration."

Mr. PEEL gave " The Health of the Vice Presidents."
Lord SALToux returned thanks.
The " Health of the Treasurer and Committee" having been
drank.
The SECRETARY proceeded to read his Report, announcing
several liberal subscriptions.

The " ilealtlis of 'Sir John Malcolm and Mr. Downie"
were next drank ; and die CHAIRMAN, after an apology for
his neglect, proposed '• the Ladies who had honoured -them
with their presence."--(Cheers.)--At this moment Miss Paton
appeared in the gallery. Glee Here's a health to all good
lasses.' Aliss Paton sang ' Mary of Castle Cary,' with a power
and enthusiasni, which drew down repeated bursts of applause.
The healths having been drank, song, ' A' the flirts the wind
can blow.'

The CHAIRMAN' proposed " Miss Paton's health" for ha*_
ing contributed to the harmony.—Mr. Frazer returned tliarl .
in her name, and the Stewards for the ensuing Anniversary
having been named, the Meeting broke up.

The storm on Wednesday evening- last was not
confined to England alone. In the Channel and
on the coast of France the disturbed elements
raged with terrific grandeur. Much agitation was
felt on board the vessels coming op Channel, from
whom signal guns were continually fired for pilots,
the weather changing successively to the opposite
extremes. The boats which nightly leave the
French coast with expresses for England did not
on this occasion put to sea, so generally did an
awful sensation prevail among the maritime
people, and which particularly evinced itself in
the more superstitious among the lower class of
our continental neighbours.—(Kentish Gazette.)

could not be given. Ha Lordship was of opinion that the child
was living at the death of the testator. As to 'the Commission
of Lunacy, he considered it material evidence in Middlesex.—
The trustee being a lunatic could not convey. His lunacy was

THE GREEKS AND TURKS.

MARSEILLES, Jura: 26.—We yesterday re-
ceived news from Alexandria, in Egypt, which come down to
the 22d May, and affirm positively that people continued still
to speak of the embarkation of the Viceroy's troops ; but that
nothing certain was known on the subject, no troops having
yet arrived in the neighbourhood of Alexandria. The corps
which it was said was to be commanded by Ibrahim Paella,
was encamped some leagues from Cairo, and at that time at
least was not making any preparations to break up. Ibrahim
was with his father at a country house near Cairo. It was
affirmed besides that the troops to be embarked were not to be
conveyed to the Morea or placed at the disposal of the Turkish
Government, bits that they will go to Candia, where there is
already is strong corps of Egyptian troops, to which all the ad-
vantages are to be ascribed that the Turks have hitherto gained
in that island.L-Farther, it is stated in these letters, that the
corps intended for embarkation does not exceed 6008 men, and
that there could be no idea of projects against Greece till Candia
is wholly subdued, in which these trooops are to assist. life
have no certain information respecting the Turkish fleet under
the Capital' Pacha. However, it had not yet appeared near the
Peloponnesus, or at the entrance of the Egean Sea ; it still
loitered about Negropont, where it is said to have lost some
vessels:' Accounts brought by vessels speak of a new and suc-
cessful attempt to land near Volo. In the Peloponnesus there
was still great confusion. Colocotroni has again renewed hos-
tile measures against the Central Government ; but it was not
believed that he acted in 'concert with the Turks. The unhappy
differences that exist might, however, be very fatal to time
Greeks, if the Turkish operations were conducted with judg-
ment and energy, which seems, to be by no means the case.—
M. l)rouot has now taken the command of the French naval
force in the Levant, instead of M. tie Ifigny, who has returned
to Toulon.—(Allgeniaine Zeitnng, July 11.)

REAL AND SEVERE AFFLICTION.

GENTLEMAN, considerably advanced in
years, who, hitherto, by his literary qualifications.
(though deteriorated by accumulated infirmity), has supported
himself with decency and comfort, has latterly been minced, by a
considerable increase of those afflicting dispensations; to an ex-
treme state of physical debility and pecuniary indigence. 'lle
saw regularly engaged for many years hi a particular 4ine of
political literature, but which; irons long continued and se-
verely diseased eyes, he was sonic time since cdnstrained to
dezline. After long struggling against the two-fold calamity,
destitution of employment with increased expenCe, through his
physical afflictions, the latter. Were most Serialsly aggravated
by an apoplectic attack in December last, which, though the
fit was providentially surmounted, still injuriously affects him.
His petunia. 'resources being thus completely exhausted, he
is under the necessity of appealing' to•the liberal and compas-
sionate sympathies, and to that discriminating benevolence
which laUdably characterise so many individuals of the British
Pubic, submissively intreating those under such benign in-
fluences to contribute to his assistance and relief.
Benefactions will be received by Thomas Copeland, Esq. 4,
Golden-square ; by Roht. George Clarke, Esq. 5, Craven-street,
Strand ; and by Mr. Mitchell, 138, St. Martin's-lane ;to which

ODE

On the BIRTR-DAY of the late Right Honourable WILLIAIL
PITT, May 28, 1824; celebrated this day at tho City of
London Tavern.

NT JOHN TAYLOR, ESQ..

If he to whom our rites Are due

Were now his Country's state to view,
With all his former love,
lie self-approving worth would feel,
And pleasure at his Country's weal,
Increase his joys above.

Then would he see the plans his mind
With patriot energy design'd,
To guard his native land,
Accomplish'd to their utmost aim,
And Britain, with unrivall'd fame,
In strength and safety stand.

Then would he see a Monarch sage,
Who hence will grace th' historic page,
PIT T's glorious ends pursue,
And, best to aid those glorious ends,
Entrust them to those steady friends
To all his counsels true.

And see, among that patriot train
A master-mind the cause maintail
Of universal right,
That Freedom may with Pow'r be timid
To regulate the realms around,
And all in peace unite.

Such now is Britain's happy hour,
Supreme in freedom and in pow'r,

Such PITT, we owe to thee,
Oh ! may fell Tyranny beware,
And ev'ry state our blessings share,
Be happy, and as free.

Yesterday being Ascension Day, the boys of
the different parochial schools in London, Pre"
ceded by their respective Ministers, Church:-
wardens, &c. patrolled their parishes, and
marked their different boundaries, according to
annual custom,

[THE TIMES.]

A memorial-has, it appears, been presented by
the English to the Dutch Plenipotentiaries, on
concluding : that famous treaty -which we have
within these few days brought under public no-
tice. This memorial is to us even more decidedly
despicable than the treaty for which it was in-
tended as an apology to the English nation. It is
full of congratulations ! on that happy issue of
the conferences, which has placed the commer-
cial interests. of England and-of Holland on such
a delectable footing of one-sided reciprocity. It
defines.-the Molucca or Spice Islands, of which,
in the true spirit of free and enlightened com-
merce, the Dutch are allowed a monopoly, to
comprehend all the rich and - extensive Archi-
pelago, betweeh Celebes, New Guinea, and
Timor. -1-t first delivers up millions of unhappy
natives to Dutch harshnesi and rapacity, and
then gently recommends them to the " paternal
kindness" of the Dutch. It is, in truth, no less
than a inean cloak for the weakness of those Mi-
nisters who have been so egregiously, on this oc-
casion, deceived and bullied by Holland.

which had previously been prepared, drove about the grounds in
his pony phaeton, which was in readiness fur him at the Lodge.
His Majesty did not leave until after eight o'clock for Carlton

to their late highly respected town-clerk, Nathaniel Clayton,
Esq., a Gentleman who had served that important office for the
long period of nearly 40 years, with the greatest credit to him-
self, and not only to the satisfaction, but, it may with truth be
said, to the great advantage of the interests of the Corporation.

poration enjoy the pleasing prospect of seeing their affairs ad-

pying the seats on the right and left of the body. The sublime

LITERARY NOTICE.

Tat HOLY BIBLE; in which the Leading and more In-
teresting Chapters are distinguished for YOUTHFUL ME-
DITATION, and as a Course of FAMILY READING. To
which is prefixed, THE PORTEUSIAN INDEX.
T his is a new and well-printed Edition,, in
Stereotype, of the sacred foundation of Christian
filth, comprising the OLD and NEW TESTAMENT.
t has the advantage of the common editions of
the Sacred Volumes, in containing a reference to
the Holy Scriptures, with citations explaining
the nature and object of Religion, and presenting,
In those citations, rules for the regulation of life,
and the conduct of man in all the situations in
which human nature may be involved. These
rules and exhortations bOing conveyed in the
awful language of HOLY WRIT, are calculated
to make a stronger impression upon the mind
than the most powerful expression of the noblest
Profane writers. This Work is styled the Ptto-
ltiESlAN BIBLE, but not in any part of the Work
itself. The name arose in consequence of the
Scriptural Lectures delivered by the late Dr.
vORTEDS, Bishop of London, by whom the se-
veral citations from HOLY WRIT were selected,
and arranged under different heads, with intro-
ductory comments, and bv whom a comprehensive
Index was formed, which is included in the pre-
lent Work. Upon the whole we can confidently
recommend this Work to parents and guardians
I" particular, and to the public at large, since this
•E an age too much inclined to scepticism and in-
fidelity, as a religious Vade Mecum, which not
wily renders the sacred text clear, but teaches
lankind their duties to society, and due reverence
and submission to the will of the Divine Creator
the Universe. We gave a brief notice on
Wednesday last of a Meeting, which took place
the day before at Freemasons' Hall, which was
"tended by a numerous and most respectable
~ompany, and some of whom, under the title of
the PORTEUSIAN BIBLE SOCIETY, are likely to
sPread the truths of the Gospel, and of course to
Promote the happiness of man in his present pro-
bationary state of existence.

MARBLE.—A large block
NORTHUMBERLAND
of beautiful veined dark marble has been disco-
vered on the estate of his Grace the Duke of
NORTHUMBERLAND, near Alnwick, by Mr. WM.
DAVIDSON of that place. This marble is sus-
ceptible of a fine polish, and appears to be of a
ew -upon-Tyne, will be
very superior quality. Some of the fire-places
in the new building for the Literary and Philo-
sophical Society, Newcastle-upon-'Tyne,
ornamented with this indigenous product.
Last week, while some masons were employed
in repairing a building in Whitehaven, they dis-
covered, in an aperture in a wall, the skeleton of
a cat, in
a watching posture, the skin and bones
of which were entire, but the entrails and hair
were decayed ; and in a crevice, at a very short
distance, the skeleton or a rat, in an exactly si-
milar state.

Mr. GRENFELL moved the addition of certain Members
to the Committee on the St. Katherine's Dock Bill. The lion.
Member took occasion to observe, that many misrepresentations
had gone forward as to the number of inhabitants likely to be
affected by this Bill ; 10,000 were mentioned, but in fact there
were but 4,000 in the parish. The number of houses too were
mentioned at 1,400, but there were not more than 800. This
was an exaggeration caused by rival Dock Companies. The
other objection, as to the want of notices, was of no weight, as
the houses in question would be rendered mote valuable by the
alteration proposed.—The motion was agreed to.

THE A 11,M Y.

On the 6th instant died, at his house in the
Barracks at Chatham, Colonel RICHARD LEE, after a long
and faithful service to his KIN G and country of forty-six years.
The Colonel was seized the day before with a paralytic affec-
tion, good health. Few Officers have seen

Colonel
Lee. Ile was at the siege of
Quebec, and at all the battles of Sir Edward Hughes in India,
and has subsequently Served in the West Indies, Mediterranean,
and during the last war. He was .a perfect soldier, and a kind
friend. The men who served under him deeply lament his
loss : he attended to all their little comforts, and often, in pri-
vate relieved the wants of their
Wives and children by private
donations. His remains were interred with military honours,
corresponding to his rank, on Blonday last, attended by the
whole.of the officers and privates of the garrison and the fleet.
The following was the order of the procession, and from the re-
spect in which Colonel Lee's characters was held by the residents
of the town, the concourse of peon, 'which attendadhim to the
grave far exceeded what was ever witnessed on similar mourn-
ful occasions :

ODE TO MUSIC.
Music, genial maid,
Come to thy Poet's aid,
And, as I touch the string,
The light rob'd zephyrs bring,
Swift tripping o'er the ground,
With roseate chaplets crown'l
Hark ! Through the sky
Her deep voice floats
In liquid notes,
And meets my ear
In warbling clear
Of harmony.
Enchantress of the soul,
Thou dost fierce rage controuL
As thy sweet numbers flow,
The softer passions glow,
From Pity's kindling eye
Drop tears of sympathy.
Hark ! From around,
An answ'ring strain
Replica again,
And rock and wood
Pour back the flood
Of echoing sound.
Music, whose rapturous song
Hurries the mind along,
To realms whose splendours glestrt
Only in Poets' dream ;
'Who dost bright Joy inspire,
To thee I strike the lyre.
Hark ! O'er the hill,
A dying swell,
From distant cell,
In cadence slow,
Comes
I And 1 alld im and lows
Ais still.

DREADFUL RIOT IN CALMAL BUILDINGS.

MAR YLEBONE OFFICE (This Day.)-4,10.
thony Murray, Timothy O'Donnet, Michael Glifr
ford, and John Shelton, with some others, all be''
longing to the Sister Country, were brought br
fore the Magistrates on a charge of creating
disturbance early yesterday morning. It appeared
from the evidence of Winans and Lamb, two
constables, that upwards of a hundred of the low
Irish, residing in Calmat-buildings, and the other
Courts at the back of Portman-square, had R9''
sembled at Chalk Farm, and were engaged in"s
general fight, each being armed with a thick,
bludgeon, and also employing brick-bate. 8"
other missiles, which were flying about in ill
directions. The constables finding their strength
inadequate to the dispersing of the rioters applied
at Portman-street Barracks for military assistance,
which being gran ted,the crowd,after some troublei
were dispersed, but shortly after re-assembled.
at Calmal-buildings, and renewed their fight.
The military were again called in, and, after
some difficulty, succeeded in capturing the above
named prisoners. Mr. Rawlinson commended
the officers for their attention to their duty, and
ordered every one of the prisoners to find good
bail to answer the charge at the Sessions.

Sir Wm. CURTIS has had an audience with the
KING since Isis.arrival in London.

Yesterday evening Prince LEOPOLD left Marl'

afterwards visited the Galkry of Sir WILLIAS
BEECHEY, at his house iu Barley•street.
The Asia Spanish line-of-battle ship, and
Avila corvette, which were left at the Falkirk
Islands the middle of March, hy the Jana,
Captain AVFnnxr.t.,- just arrived in the River,
were bound to Lima. They were fully manned,
but had no troops on hoard.
Some years since a Jew, who dealt in diamondo)
going accidentally into a public-house in Wapping, happoll
to want change for a guinea, occasioned the landlady to PLI
Out the contents of her poc::et in search of a sixpence to make
up the sum, among which a large pearl was noticed by the,
Jew, which the landlady said was given her by a sailor, ow
had been carried in her pocket for several years. The Jew be'
traying much anxiety to purchase it, so enhanced its value in
the possessor's opinion, that her husband-applied to an eminent-
jeweller in the city, and sold it for a considerable sum, that
retiring from business soon after, and purchasing ground nw
Holywell Mount, he built a row of houses, to which he gsoo
the name Of Pearl.phiCe, in 'commemoration of the incident.

PILLARS OF SAND.

44 We were here at once surprized and terri-
fied by a sight surely the most magnificent in the
world. In that vast expanse of desert, from
W. and N.W. of us, we saw a member of pro-
digious pillars of sand, at different distances, at
times moving with great celerity, at others stalk-
ing with a majestic slowness : at intervals we
thought these were coming in a very few moments
to overwhelm us, and small quantities of sand
did actually, and more than once, reach us.
Again they would retreat, so as to be almost out
of sight, their tops reaching to the clouds ; there
the tops dften separated from the bodies, and
these once disjointed, dispersed in the air, and
did not appear more. Sometimes they were
broken near the middle, as if struck with a large
cannon shot. A bout noon they began to advance
with considerable swiftness upon us, the wind
being very strong at north. Eleven of them
ranged alongside of us about the distance of three
miles. 'floe greatest diameter of the largest tip-
peered to me at that distance as if it would mea-
sure ten feet. They retired from us with a wind
at S.E. leaving an impression upon my mind to
which I can give no name ; though surely one in-
gredient in it was fear, with a considerable deal
of wonder and astonishment. It was in vain to
think of flying, the swiftest horse, or fastest sail-
ing vessel, could be of no use to carry us out of
this danger, and the full persuasion of this
rivetted me as if to the spot where I stood. On
the 15th the same appearance of moving pillars
Of sand presented themselves to us, only they
seemed to be more in number, and less in size.
They came several times in a direction close upon
us ; that is, I believe, within less than two
miles. They hegau immediately after sun-rise,
like a thick wood,
and almost darkened the sun.
His rays shining through them for near an hour,
gave them an appearance of pillars of tire. Our
people now became desperate ;—the Greeks
shrieked out, and said it was the day of judg-
ment ;—lstnael pronounced it to be hell ;—and
the Tucorories that the world was on fire."—
(13ruce's Travels.)

The irnmunqe estates which belonged to the
late Duke of TUSCANY, in Bohemia, have de.
volved to the young Duke of REICIISTADT, the
son of NAPOLEON BUONAPATITE.

A fine large-sized elephant, be►.longing to
Wombwell's Celebrated collection of wild beasts,
died at Boughton Green Falcon Friday se'nnight.
It was 53 years of age, and cost the proprietor
one thousand guineas. It had been exhibited the
day before, and appeared as well in health as
usual. From the situation in which the pon-
derous animal was found lying, it is supposed to
have been suffocated by getting its trunk en.
tangled between its fore legs, and from being
unable to extricate itself in its confined situation
without assistance.

THE THE/I.MM.

DRURY,-LANL—AI it is more gratifying to us
to notice acts of benevolence than to enter into
formal criticisms on Plays and Performers, we feel
pleasure in stating that the liberal and enter-
prizing Lessee of this Theatre opened it last night
for the benefit of the Widow and Children of the
late Nlr.Oximutsr. It was by no means equally
successful.with that for the family of poor EMERY,
but it was productive of what may sooth the
sorrows of those for whom • its advantages were
intended. Mr. OxaxititY was not only a good
actor in his province, but possessed literary
taste and talents, and he was a cheerful and
nnoffending individual in private life. The
dramatic allurements on the occasion, besides
the impule of benignity, excited a respectable, if
not a numerous auditory. The representations
were The Wags of Windsor, the Farce of
Monsieur Torreon, and the Melo-drame of The
Miller's Maid. As those who assisted on this
benevolent occasion will be more pleased with a
record of their humanity than a panegyric
on their performance, we shall only mention
the tiIIMPS of Wzun,'HARLEY, GATTIv.,• KNIGHT,
REEVES, SHERWIN, YOUNGE, Mrs. SALMON,
and Miss S. Boont, who all exerted them-
selves with as much zeal as if the night had
been devoted to their own respective advantage.
We ought to add,.for the honour of the Manager
and the Proprietors of the Theatre, that they all
contributed liberally to the noble cause which so
laudably animated their feelings on this interest-
log occasion.
EmGtt Hu OPERA llOUSE.—The.chief attraction
at this Theatre, last night, was the appearance of
Mr. Bit n Ass, for the firSt time, as Harry Bertram,
in the Opera of Guy Mannering, aud of Miss No EL
in that of Lucy Bertram. The former was received
with the applause due to his high musical powers,
which have been so often exerted in the 'same
charactei as not to require any additional notice.
Miss NOEL, we understand, came from the Bath
Theatre, which has provided many excellent
Performers for the London Stage. Miss Nom.
may fairly be included among the number : she
is young, and her person is genteel. Her
.manners
are easy, and her voice clear and well toned, if
slot very powerful. She is a pupil of Mr.
WArrsom,a respectable musical Professor,nnd the
skill with which she sang proved the value of
his instructions. She was well received. There

was feeling as well as good sense in her perform-
ance, and some of her songs were encored, as well•
as those of Mr. BRAIIAM. Mrs. EGERTON, the
first and best Meg Merrilies, appeared in that part
last night, and supported it with her accustomed
spirit and energy. RATNER was a good Dandy
Dinmont, T. P. Cooicit a terrific Dirk Bal.
teriek, and TATLEURE sufficiently ludicrous in
Dominic Sampson. The Opera had also the sup-
port of Miss POVEY in Julia Mannering, and
altogether went off with spirited effect.
