,Scotland dined together in the Waterloo Hotel, Edinburgh, in

in the Chair. About three hundred Gentlemen were present ;

After the cloth was removed, the CHAIR MAN gave, " The
M
King," which was received with loud cheers.
The health of the other branches of the Royal Family was
then given, after which the Noble Chairman rose to propose the
Memory of Mr. Pitt. They were again met, he said, to testify
their admiration of the principles of that great man, and he
elt his inability to do justice to his memory. Ile had proved
himself, by the meitsurem which he adopted, and the means he
pursued, to have been the steady supporter of the throne and of
the altar, and the real and true friend of the people. He
had been opposed by well intentioned men, but their opposi-
tion had taught us how to distinguish between the steady light
which illuminates our path and the glare which bewilders and
leads astray,--(Applause.)—When ho considered the wealth—
the power—and the industry of the country, which had been
raised and brought forward by the wisdom of Mr. Pitt, he could
not but admire the wisdom which had effected the mighty deed
of raising us to an unexampled height among the nations of
the world. He then gave, "The Memory of Mr. Pitt."—
Drank in solemn silence. _ _ .

Many appropriate toasts were drank with the utmost cordi-
ality, and the whole passed off with remarkable spirit and unin.
terrupted harmony.
After the Earl of Hopetoun had Tetireti, the Chair was taken
by Lord Abereromby, and the company did not separate until
a late hour.

GLASGOW.
Yesterday, being the Anniversary of the Birth-
day of that Great Statesman—" the Pilot that weathered the
Storm".;—Mr. PlTT—about 120 Gentlemen of the first distinc-
tion in this city and neighbourhood dined together in the As-
sembly Rooms, to commemorate the same, J. T. ALSTON,
Esq. in the Chair-•-•ROBEILT WATSON, Esq. Croupier. A
number of Loyal and Constitutional toasts were given from the
Chair, and the evening was spent in the greatest harmony and
conviviality. The company was enlivened by a great number
of excellent and appropriate songs, and did not separate till a
late hour. The dinner and wines were furnished by. Mr. Burn,
of the Black Bull Inn. H. Monteith, Esq. I‘LP: is appointed
Chairman for next year.—lt is satisfactory and pleasing to ob-
' serve, as time elapses from the death of our great Statesman,
that his memory becomes snore dear to the people of this cestn-
try,—more respected and honoured by his countrymen, as they
live at a distance from the period when he lived—to save his
country by his firmness and .Enmpe by his example. Nor is
this tribute of respect confined to Tories, but is shewn, though
in a different way, by his political opponents.—( Glasgow
Courier, May 2g.)

MS MAJESTY bas, we understand, in his pos.
session at Windsor, two very tine Einem or
Southern Ostriches, from Van Diemen's Land.
The female has brought forth seven eggs, six of
which are hatched, and the birds are fine and

strong upon the legs. We understand that such
is the attention of the male to the young brood,
he boldly present* himself to prevent any one
approaching them.
ALL CALF.—A dandy called the other day at
a boot-maker's, requiring to be fitted with a pair
of half-boots. Several pairs were shown him,
which he tried, hut not one would suit. " Here,
I think, is a pair that will do," said Crispin,
reaching down a pair of excellent cordovan.—
" No," said the dandy, " those, I can see at this
distance, won't do ; they, are too short ; fashion-
able half-boots should cover the ca:" -" Then,"
said Crispin, slyly, measuring him with his eye,
they must be jive feet eight."
