On Wednesday I.sst, the Noblemen and Gentle-
men of the Harmonic Society, had their filth din-
ner, at the Old Assembly &mins. The table was
supplied by Mr. GA Le. with every delicacy the sea-
t, n affords ; the wines, punch. &c. were excellent ;
the professional Members exerted themselves with
great den, and the delightful singing of Captain
Sours, and several other members and visitors,
added infini!ely to the harmony and hilarity of the
day.
On Friday, the Members of the Cate!) Club also
finished their amusements with • a grand dinner and
Concert, at York house; Colonel Sr erne ss, of Ca.

style, an appropriate new Song, written by Mr. J.

of ch.. company. Captain Maciooces tavonred the
Society with several jovial sungs ; and Messrs. Ma•
GRATH; 13/KNETT, GRAY, COOICe, and WIHTLR,
displayed their bi dliant talents to the greatest pos-
sible aJvantage. It is but justicc to Messrs. Luc AS
and ItestLy, to say, the dinner, with it...ippendages,
were of the first class ; in fod, there was nothi:.g to
regret, but the absence, through indisposition. of
I valuable and entertaining members.
