DUNDEE.—We hear that after the fete in Edin-

called by his name. It is rumoured that previous to the day
on which this magnificent work is to be opened our good citi-
zens are to invite his Lordship to a dinner, exceeding, in the
rarity and excellence of its viands, the splendour and magnifi-
cence of its ornaments, and the richness and flavour of its w►nes,
the one at which the illustrious guest will have been previously
entertained in the metropolis. For this purpose the Dock
itself is to be the hall of feasting. It is to be covered in with
a temporary awning of the richest Osnaburghs of home manu-
facture, and to be lighted with a profusion of gas, which we
understand the Gas Company are expected to supply gratis
on such an interesting occasion. Tat!)les are to be laid to ac-
commodate '2,000; the centre one to be occupied by the Poli-
tical Union, with a worthy Bailie at its head, and a Penny at
its tail. To purify and sweeten the atmosvhere, and to enliven
the scene, an immense quantity of tare and valuable exotics
