FAnew et t DINNER.—On Sunday evening the male
performers of the I...nglish I)rerallouse gave a farewell
dinner to Mr. Bartley, on his taking leave of the corn•
piny, preparatory to his intended departure for America_
Mr. Arnold. took the Chair —Nlessrs. Harley and Nuke,
jun. were the Stewards. The scene, by all accounts,
•was highly interesting, and was marked by good humour
without any convivial excess. Mr. Arnold took the
opportunity of testifying, in the. name of the company
and himself, the regret which .they all tilt in parting
with a gentleman who, in his public and private cha-
racter, and in his capacity id: Manager, had otatducted
himself. in such a wanner as to deserve their respect
awl esteem. This speech, which we understand was
well conceived, and delivered with affecting Anergy,
excited .the warm acclamations of the company,. and
made such an impressiog on Mr. Bartley himself, as
for some.minutes to prevent him from giving any an-
swer. At length he subdned his feelings, and expressed
his acknowie4meots with interesting fervour. This
amicable. festival must be deemed highly, honeurable to
these wlm.premoted it„,as well. as to Mr. Bartley, who,
from all that we have-lieurd.of his character .and con-
duct, appears to be fully enti'led to such a testimony of
brother!! respect , and attachment We heartily wish
him and. his wife a prosperous voyage, and we doubt
not that their united talents will insure them a liberal
patronage in the scene of their future destination.
the harvest in the East Highlands of Perthshire is
one of the most abundant e. er remembered in that
d4ttiet. The alternations of wet and dry weather have
been such as to bring both the grain and fodder to the
fullest perfection. In this particular season the moor.
taint have given the fanner an advantage which has
been denied „to tli inhabitants of the southern plains
where, although lib quality of the grain is gond, the
prevalence of tiert,glit to said to have rendered the grain,
and espeeiallynhe fodder, .rather scan.y. ~..Appi has
