culated that at least three years would be re-
quired to complete the extensive building. It
has, however, been finished in two years and
four months. It is so capacious that from 4to
l 500 patients can be accommodated at the same
time. It stands in a fine open situation iu the
suburb of St. George, near the river Aister. The
building forms three sides of a square. The
length in front is 702 feet, and the side-build-
ing, or wing, at each end extends in length, or
rather depth, 330 feet. It is altogether One of
the completest hospitals in Europe, and does
great credit to the talents of Mr. Wimmel, the
architect, of Hamburgh, The cost of the build-
ing, every thing included, was estimated at
400,000 dollars bauco—about 100,0001. sterling.

SCOTLAND.
DR. CHALMERS' FAREWELL SERMON.-EM.
PLOYMENT OF THE MILITARY.

[From the Glasgow Free Press.] •
This eloquent and excellent Alinister and Philosopher preach-
ed his Fareviell Discourse, last Sunday, in that Church which
has so often been the arena of more splendid oratory, earnest in-
vocation, and fervid exhortation, than perhaps any other place
of worship in the kingdom. Had the object of the Doctor been
popularity, that object was attained on Sunday in a most emi-
nent degree. The throngs that poured into, Macfarlane-street
were immense, and apparently all respectable. The Church
was crowded almost to suffocation. The Doctor himself, either
from the excessive heat, or from his own powerful efforts, was
overcome in the middle of his discourse, and compelled to give
out a Psalm until he had time to recruit himself. _Hundreds
were obliged to stand.—Mr. Edward Irving was one of the
number.
The calling out of the Military to repress the crowd, who
struggled to gain admittance, Ina been much and severely com-
mented upon. Dr. Chalmers, however, had nothing to do
with • it—it was the work of some injudicious individual.
It being generally understood that this was to be the last day
of the Rev. Doctor's ministrations in this city, so early as ten
o'clock a great crowd had assembled in front of the Church,
anxious to gain admittance; anti though police officers were
early on the spot,such was the determination of the multitude to
get in, that all efforts to restrain them proved fruitless, and they
continued to force their way in spite of the exertions of the
Elders and several of the leading members of the congregation
to restrain them ; whilethose who rented seats, particularly the
most respectable part of the sitters (many of whom were ladies,
and could not undergo the pressure), were quietly walking up
and down the street, waiting with patience the result of this un-
precedented occurrence, while at the same time they were most
desirous to hear the last sermon of their favourite Pastor. Seeing
no prospect of restraining the exertions of those who were at-
tempting to force in, it was deemed necessary to send to the Bar-
racks for a military guard, and a party of the 73d regiment ac-
cordingly arrived about half-past ten, who took their station on
the stair leading into the Church, and were of great service in
keeping back the crowd ; but in spite of their best endeavours.
it was with difficulty they could preserve order, the people still
continuing to press forward, and it not being easy to determine
who were sitters and who • were not. Things went on in this
way till past eleven o'clock, when a great part of the coat,
gation being still on the outside, several Gentlemen ascendd
the stair-case, ordered the main door to be shut, and the mil!:
tary to clear away the crowd. This having been accomplished.
anti the soldiers judiciously arranged, these Gentlemen after
much personal exertion, succeeded, in gaining admission for
number of the congregation. •
