I AM too much indebted to many enlightened Gentlemen, in various parts of Scotland, for the local information they have favoured me with, not to take this opportunity of publicly expressing my thanks and obligations.

It is with cordial pleasure I mention, that, in the month of September last, the foundation-stone of the New Gaol of Edinburgh was laid. This Prison, so much and so long desired, is to be completed from the excellent designs of Mr. Robert Reid. As soon as it is ready for the reception of prisoners, the present Tolbooth, mentioned in the following Tour, will be pulled down.

The Lord Provost and Magistrates are also about to make an application to Government for further aid, to enable them to finish the College. Those who support such an application will do honour to themselves, and confer a lasting obligation upon that illustrious Seminary.
