SIR WALTER SCOTT'S MONUMENT.—Yesterday
(Monday) the foundation-stone of a monument to com-
memorate the genius and virtues of the late Sir Walter
Scott was laid in St. George s-square, Glasgow, with the
usual masonic and other honours. About half-past two
the procession, flanked by the 9th Lancers, proceeded from
the Court-hall up the Salt-market, along Trongate, and
Argyll-street, Buchanan-street, St. Vincent-street, to St.
George's-square-east by the south, and round to the north
side, to the site of the monument. When the junior
lodge arrived at the entrance in St. George's-square it
halted, and opened right and left, and so on with the other
lodges in succession, according to their seniority, in order to
allow the grand lodge of Scotland to advance to the site of
the monumental column. On arriving, the Grand Marshal
proclaimed silence, and the Rev. Dr. M'Leod mounted a
temporary rostrum erected for the occasion, and offered up
an eloquent and impressive prayer. After the ceremony of
laying the foundation-stone had been completed with the
usual masonic benediction, the Lord Provost and the very
Rev. Principal Macfarlane addressed the multitude at con-
siderable length. Altogether the spectacle was one of the
most gratifying description ; and never on any occasion of
a similar nature did we witness proceedings conducted with
greater judgment or rorlarity.—G-laseto Courier,
