SCOTTISH PATRIOTIC SOCIETY FOR IMPROVING
THE CONDITION OF THE LABOURING CLASSES.—WO
are glad to find that a deputation of this highly useful
national society, which is patronised by the Queen and
Prince Consort, and has the Duke of Sutherland for its
president, will state to a public meeting to be held on
Thursday, at two P.M., in the Freemason's Hall, the
objects and progress of the institution. The Chisholm
will preside. It aims generally to improve the condition
of the labouring classes throughout Scotland, by various
suitable means. It however, has at this time Six hun-
dred improved acre farms in Gauloch, cultivated on Bel-
gian principles of husbandry, under the superintendence
of the honorary secretary, and two hundred of the Edin-
burgh workmen, who have no-employment at their own
trades, are at this time occupied in spade husbandry t.,n,
the Patriotic Society's land, at Edinburgh. The society
I at this juncture is most useful among the Scottish. la-
bouring classes, and will, we trust, rally round it the
support of all who wish to keep those classes from de-
mocratic influence.
