INVERNESS, OCT. 2.—The Northern Meeting commenced
here yesterday, and will continue to-day anti tomorrow. It is
numerously and fashionably attended, and our streets exhibit a
very. gay appearance from the illustrious company and splendid
equipages which are seen driving in every direction. Yesterday
forenoon passed agreeably in the sports of the turf—a new anti
enlivening amusement ao this meeting ; and the evening was
devoted to the social intercourse of the dining-room anal ball-
room. It is too soon for us yet to give a detailed list of the
company, as we understand fresh arrivals are looked for. We
can only say at present that we observe among the ladies, the
Marchioness of Huntly, Lady Saltoun, Lady Cumming of
Altyre and Gordonstone, &c. &c. And among sixty gen-
tlemen who sat down yesterday to dinner, there were, the
Most Noble the Marquis of Huntly, Lord Saultoun, Sir
W. Cumming, Sir Charles 3l'Donald Lockhart, Glengarry,
Lovat, Colonel Rose of Kilravock, &c.—The Marquis of
Iluntly presided at the dinner.—The death of a much es-
teemed Lady in our neighbourhood, and of a friend of the
Marquis of Huntly, in Aberdeenshire, will cast a gloom over
the cheerfulness of marry who attend, and will occasion the ab.
sence of others who would add much to the happiness and en-
joyment of this week. Every one seems disappointed that the
Noble Marquis leaves town this day in consequence of the event
we have last mentioned.

Lady Darlington is fitting► up her beautiful chateau in the
north m a style of elegance peculiar to her Ladyship's good
taste. The decorative part of the furniture has been prepared
in town, we understand, by Graham; and from the specimens
we have seen of the chairs, curtains, and glass, they may be
pronounced unique.

ft is to the unfeeling avarice and various
stratagems employed by managers, that man.), a novice is in-
debted for a failure. The petty tyrant of his own territory,
the manager, lords it over all around him ; and eager to gain
subsidies to enrich his coffers, tramples, without scruple, on
the future prospects of those who trust to his professions.*
A first appearance, whether biped or quadruped, (though it
must be confessed the latter generally remains the most per-
manent and distinguished favourite), fills the house; and so
long as that end is accomplished, it is immaterial whether the
candidate succeeds. It is also a common rote de guerre to
prevent another theatre from deriving advantage in the same
line, in which, though over-stocked themselves, they wish to
withhold participation from their rivals."
" As long as our theatresl which were intended to pourtray
the living manners as they rise, to foster talent and bring it to
perfection, and to reflect the follies of the age as in a mirror,
become the receptacles for glittering pageants, and procesaioni
of horses and elephants, their uses are outraged and subverted,
while genius neglected and abused, looks on in the melancholy
contemplation of fallen hopes."
• " The fallen theatre, alas I groans under the mismanage-
ment of mercenary and interested undertakers, whose only ob.
ject is to raise pecuniary contributions on the curiosity and
leisure of their fellow-citizens; they being for the most
.part
totally unfit for such an employment, through their gross igno.
trace of the several views proper to be conceived, or of the exe-
cutive means to which they should have recourse, in order that
the desired effect may he obtained."—( Atgarottl, ptige 12.)

INTERESTING PUOLIC BAPTISM.—Grent inte•
rest was excited last Sunday at the Episcopal Jews' Chapel, in
consequence of the Rev. Air. HAWTRY announcing the in-
tended public baptism, that day, of a foreign Gentleman of the
Hebrew persuaston. On the doors being opened in the even-
ing,, the concourse of people assembled filled every seat. It is
computed that upwards of 1000 persons were present—and in
that number, about 100 converted Jews and Jewesses. The
Gentleman about to enter the pale of Christianity was a native
of Poland, about forty, and connected with some of the-first
families on the Continent. He arrived in England about three
months ago. The organ, by a solemn air, announced the
commencement of the ceremony, and Mr. illiwtry then read
the prayers appointed for the service, in a manner that ap-
pealed to inspire the congregation with reverential awe. To
the solemn questions propounded by the Clergyman, the con-
vert answered with a firm and audible voice; and on being
sprinkled and marked with the sign of the cross, he ap-
peared deeply affected, In the prayer that followed, he
joined most fervently, and at the conclusion, seated himself near
the font. This is the second adult that has been baptized in
the chapel within the last month. After this part of the service,
Mr. Hawtry delivered an excellent discourse from the 46th ch.
of Gen. 4th and 6th v. The great progress of Christianity In
this country,. and other parts of the globe, was dwelt upon
with much force by the Rev. Gentleman. The individuals of
the Jewish persuasion present at the ceremony remained during
the whole of the service.

CURE FOR DEAFNESS.—The late Rev. Mr.
wok an opportunity of consulting the late Dr. Cullen
for an occasional deafness. The Doctor wrote a prescription
Mr. A—, in return, tendered a fee. " I thank you, Sir,"
said Dr. C., "but I have long made it a rule never to accept
a fee for advice to a country clergyman—he cannot aiThed it,
Sir."—" Perhaps there are many who cannot," said Mr. A.—,
" but I can ; for my living is good, and I have no family."—
" What I are you a bachelor ?' cried Dr. C.—" 1 am, ''
re-
plied Mr. A-- " Now, why did you not tell me so atfirst ?
Destroy the prescription I have given you. Go home, and get
married as fast as possible ; and I hazard my reputation that,
in a month after, you shall hear on the deafest side of your
head."
