On Wednesday last, at a meeting of the Go-
vernors of GEORGE ilEato-r's Hospital, it was
moved that they should rescind their resolution
respecting the 2rection and endowment of a
Church on the east side of the Calton Hill, as a
speculation not only uncertain in its results, but
altogether inconsistent with their obligation as
trustees on that charitable foundation, being in
direct violation of the statutes, and subjecting
the Hospital to the clause of irritancy in G EOR GE
IlEntoT's ill,by which the funds,in case of misap-
plication, are to be transferred to the Univer-
sity of St. Andrew's. Another motion was
made that they should adhere to their resolution,
with this modification, that the time at which the
erection of the church shall take place may be-
come the subject of future regulation. On the
vote being taken, the second motion was carried
by a majority of 17 to 7. Several dissents were
entered, and an intimation given, that in all pro-
bability it will be made the subject of complaint
before the Civil .Court.--(Edinburgh Courant,
Dec. 22.)
