THE SCOTTISH HOSPITAL.

first be had the honour of presicrusg at the Anniversary
of the Institution.- It most appear quite superfluous
were he to say much on the nature and objects of it. It
would be as ill compliment to the Meeting if be were
to enter at large into the subject of tf4 C%arity, for it
was, be had no doubt, well known to all whom he had
the honour of addressing r_ still, however, he felt it in-1
cumbent on him to make a few observations. These
was a time whey disgraceful prejudices existed in this
coentry against the very name of a .Scotchman. These
prejudices had vanished. More liberal notions suc-
ceeded to the more liberal spirit that presided over
the councils of the country. For his part he had on
hesitation in saying, that it was to the Scottish Kings
his Family owed the situation they now held—their-
elevation to the Throne of this country—(Appla use).—
k so happened that few men had been thrown into,con-
met with more various classes of society than himself.
He bad opportunities of knowing the objects to which
various charitable institutions were directed, • and he
must say, in justice to Scotland, that no iiraitution was
more useful, more industtious, mere conducive to the
welfare of this great-country, than that of the Scottish
Hospital. In London, the metropolis of the British'
Empire, the metropolis be Might say of the world, he
could not but feel proud to flail himself at the head of
the oldest, and perhaps the most useful charitable esta-
blishment of that metropolis. lie came to the sitsratiou
inexperienced, and though conscious of his own inabi-
lity, be accepted of It because ate
_thought he might he,
of some use—(Applause.) So long at he could be of,
use, so long as they thought he might be, so long, with
their suffrages, would he remain in the situation to
which they had appointed him. A fvw wordspow with
respect to the nature.of the Institution. None could be
more grateful to the feelings of a Scotch man, because the'
end proposed was to relieve the distresses of his country-
men. He was happy to say that it trent on successfully, and
he hoped it,would always be conducttd with a 'view to
the inhabitants of Scotland who really needed relief,
and that relief of no other consideration would be al-
lowed to have any influence. There were not so many
demands at present upon the Society, as when, during
the war, the widows and orphans of those brave men
who fell in defence of their country had occasion to call
upon them ; but fit objects could never be Wanting, and
therefore he hoped that the same zealous support would
be extended to this most useful Establishment, as had
been in other times. No person acquainted with it could
be ignorant of the judicious and proper manner in which
it was conducted; but if there were any 'strangeripre-
sent, be begged to assure them that it was impossible
for any public charity tote more properly administered
in every respect. His Royal Highness concluded an
eloquent speech, which was frequently interrupted by
cheers, with thinking the health of the company.
M r. COD !MIN A 14 M.P. the Master in Chancery, begged
to propose the health of an illustrious female, to whom
the Scottish Hospital was not only indebted for several
liberal conttiloitions, but fbr that patronage and coun-
tenance which was of more value than money. He was
sure, therefore, • the company would drink, 'with their
highest honours,
" The health of the Duchess of Clarence." •
His Royal Highness said some' persons might
think it strange§ that he' should rise to return thanks
for the last teat, whilst others 'might think it still
stranger if be did not. He believed, that in this coun-
try, where marriage was considered differently from
'what it was in every other country (and long he hoped
,it would continue so), few of his Majesty's :objects had
experienced more happiness than, himself and the
Duchess- and having been married five yearsi he might

pany he had been one of the happiest of husbands.

His Royal Highness proposed the next toast. The
company need not to be told of the,services, rendered to
the Society by his predecessor, the Duke of Montrose,
who for twenty-eight years presided over the Scottish
Corporation, and has always been one of the most jibe-.
rid supporters of this eacellentinstitution. The Duchess
of Montrose -had. also seconded the efforts of her hus-

which be assured the company he hand an ample chest
ready to receive all their donations, and a band ready
to dispense them to their poor and necessitous fellow
countrymen, through the Committee of Management.

His Row. HIGHNUS then pronounced a warm pane-
gri- c upon the exertions Of the Gentlemen intrusted
with the management of the funds of the Society, corn-
mended them for the discretion which they had used in
the application of these fundi, and the discrimination
which they have shewn in selecting proper objects foe
them. Of all nations in the world, perhaps the Scotch,

Mr. Sheriff Lamaii4 in returning thenki on behalf of
Abe CoMmittee, said that they did flatter, themselves

them. Witilst the pauperi of other countries were being,,
conveyed in pass-carts, those of Scotland werelent home

The Mike .0f CLA ROWS said. thin the.speech of the
worthy Sheriff brought to his mind •a toast, whils pei-
haps he ought to have given before. • It' i'ai-suggested

that certain unfortunate persons, who bad elperienced

what country in the world he Should choose for his
abode, he should say, withciut hesitation, 6`. Old Eng-

joined by every one present, for English, Irish, or
Scotch, all were British ; he should propose, without

Theattention of the Court was occupied in disposing
of 'undefended causes till :eleven" O'clock; Several de-
fended causes were directed to stand over its conse-
quence of the Attorniesuot being in attendance. The

COURT OF EXCIIEQU Ett, DECEMBER 1.
THR KbTO t). DOHMITT. •
The Soractron•Gss teat said, this was aninforme-
tion against the defendant, a soap and tallow manufac-
turer at Deptford, and it charged him with.having ille-
gally manufactured soap and candles, in various in-
stances, by which he. had incurred penalties to the
amount of five hundred pounds.
' 'The 'Learned Counsel called several witnesses, by
whose evidence it appeared that the defendant occu-
pied. premises for the manufacture of map and candles
in Copperas-lane, Deptford. In December last, the
officers of Excise searched the premises, and after some
time" discovered that the ground in the cellar was soft,
and appeared to have been newly dog; a spade was
procured, and after digging about a spade deep, they
came to some boards ; one of these they took op, and
then descended into a cavity of about nine feet.luart,
containing two soap-frames, with about three huu4red
weight of yellow soap in each ; a pipe and funnel were
also found in a soapy state, and they were so formed
that a communication could be made from the boiler
*to those frames, to that the soap in its liquid state could
run into the frames throng!: the pipe and funnel. A
piece of new brick-work was discovered in the side of
the cavity', which, when taken away, would admit a
person to reach out the soap-frames. This hole tons.
municaced level with the stoke-hole of the soar boiler.

A great increase continues to take place in the cotton
trade. In addition to the numerous mills recently
erected, new works containing 750,000 spindles, are
-contracted for to be finished next September. Of these
600,000 spindles are for England, add 150,000 for
Scotland. They will spin 15,000,0001b5. of yarn in a
-year. The state of the Cotton Manufactures, as re-
spects the Weaver, is rapidly changing. Looms moved
by mechaniCal power are becoming every day more
rcommon. It is computed that as malty af them ale
already erected in England and Scotland *as will save
the labour of.' 100,000 weavers and winders. This as-
tonishing increase is very flattering to British enterprise;
but it should not be forgotten that it will aggravate the

1 SINGULAR MARRIAORS.--A circumstance of some
'novelty in the anuars of matrimony occurred' a short
cline ago at Rukeley, in Staffordshire: it was,the union
of two couple, whose previous relatire connexioa was such
tato produce consequences, in the sequel, of a most extra.
ordinary and ludicrous description. An old sae. of the
name of Martin, of Longdon. aged 79, appeared at the
