Thus in these charity schools are educated 3458 boys, and 1901 girls, in all 5359. Mr. Maitland has been at some pains in endeavouring to learn the respective charges of the above schools; but not being able to obtain an account of each, he has endeavoured to settle as near as possible the expence of maintaining the whole, and that by a method equally plain and satisfactory: for having found that the parish school of St. Andrew’s, Holborn, which contains eighty boys, cost in one year 272_l._ 2_s._ 9_d._ and seventy girls in the same school 139_l._ 14_s._ 6_d._ he computed, that as the charge of eighty boys amounts to 272_l._ 2_s._ 9_d._ so that of 3458 boys must amount to 11,763_l._ 2_s._ 10¼_d._ and so, by the same method of calculation, as the expence of seventy girls amounts to 139_l._ 14_s._ 6_d._ that of 1901 girls must amount to 3794_l._ 10_s._ 7½_d. per annum_; whence it appears, that the whole expence of all the said charity children amounts to 15,557_l._ 13_s._ 5¾_d._ _per annum_. The same author adds, that the annual expence of the above free-schools, exclusive of those belonging to the hospitals and almshouses, amounting to 1990_l._ it appears that the expence of these schools, added to that of the charity schools, amount in all to 17,547_l._ 13_s._ 3¾_d._ As to the number of private schools in this metropolis and its suburbs, for educating youth in all kinds of literature, they are supposed to amount to above three thousand. _Maitland._ SCORE’S _alley_, East Smithfield.† SCOTLAND _yard_, Whitehall; so named from a palace which formerly stood there for the reception of the Kings of Scotland, when they came to do homage for the county of Cumberland, and other fiefs held by them of the Crown of England. _Stow’s Survey._ SCOTS CORPORATION, for the relief of poor and necessitous people of that country. This corporation owes its origin to James Kinnier, a Scotsman, and merchant of this city; who on his recovery from a long and dangerous illness, resolved to give part of his estate towards the relief of the aged and necessitous of his country, within the cities of London and Westminster: and having prevailed with a society of his countrymen, who composed a box club, to join their stock, applied for a charter, by which he and his co-adjutors were, in the year 1665, constituted a body politic and corporate, with several privileges, which King Charles II. confirmed the following year by letters patent, wherein are recited the privileges granted in the former charter, with the addition of several new ones, viz.
