Edinburgh College.—\t appears from the statement 
submitted by the College Commissioners, that the 
grants from Government expended up to 24th Janu- 
ary 1822, amounted to £68,856, and up to January 
1825, they amounted to £91,724. The contract- 
charge for building the Library on the south side, 
which is now in progress, is £23,000, of which £6520 
have been paid. Two years ago, the sum necessary to 
complete the buildings altogether, was estimated at 
£40,000, of which £20,000 has since been granted.— 
£10,000 is craved for the present session, and a 
similar sum for the next session will make up the 
amount. 
On Tuesday the 22d of February, an alarming fire 
broke out from the fourth back-flat of a house in the 
High-street, Edinburgh, called Lady Lovat’s House— 
having been occupied, within the recollection of 
tmany, by the widow of the unfortunate Simeon Lord 
Lovat—which nearly destroyed two houses. 
One of the workmen belonging to Arrat’s Mill, 
near Montrose, while walking beside the mill-lead, 
on Monday the 28th February, observed an otter, 
at which he threw a stone. The animal paying no 
heed to this signal of defiance, a little dog belonging 
to the man began to bark at the otter, and afterwards 
approached him to begin the attack, when the otter, 
making a sudden leap, seized the dog by the back, 
and dragged him into the water, from which he never 
rose again. 7 
A dreadful explosion took place on the morning of 
the 18th February, at Stobbs’ powder-mills, about 
four miles from Dalkeith :—two men lost their lives, 
and part of one of the bodies was found nearly a mile 
Scotland and Ireland. 
295 
distant. It is not known how the ac cident originated 
the shock was felt at Edinburgh, and at Dalkeith 
one of the bells tolled from the concussion of the air. 
Several persons received contusions from stones; and 
a shoemaker sitting at work at Gorebridge, had his 
head cut by a piece of glass forced out of his window. 
The quantity of powder- supposed to have exploded 
is about six tons! 
A short time ago, on digging the foundation and 
cellar of a house near the port of Annan, the work- 
men struck upon a spring of water, which to them 
appeared to be of a mineral nature. On this being 
made known, several respectable persons visited it, 
and, on trial, found it to bea chalybeate, strongly 
impregnated with alum; since which, a number of 
cures have been effected by it, such as dropsy, gravel, 
&c. It is highly diuretic, and an excellent tonic :—it 
approaches nearer to the Hartfell Spa than any that 
has come to our knowledge, and may prove of gene- 
ral benefit when its virtues are known. Nearly a 
century ago this spring was much resorted to, but 
the tides flowing over it, it fell into disrepute; from 
which circumstance, the port of Annan has to this 
day been denominated Annan Well.
