Mr. BARCLAY'S two &each songs, " Jamey's
Gre,y !herb," and " 71tva an' Tema lay Together,"
sung in the true Aberdeen dialect', proved very
amusing to the company.
13y way of varying the .scene, Mr. FITZMAU,
played some choice Scotch. and Irish Airs on
the Union Pipes, which were received with great
ap; louse ; the great size of .the room, however, pre.
vented their having the full effed which might
otherwise be.expeeted. The Noble President, upon
his health being drank, returned thanks in a neat
speech, in which he declared the funds Of the So.
curry to be in a very flourishing condition ; and

Mr. Yootio, as one of them, returned thanks for
the bondur done them, and, in a most eloquent and
impressive speech, expatiated on the advantages of
the institution, the liberality with which their fel.
low.citizens of the United Ki,gdom had contri.
Noted to its advancement, and the invincible posi.
don in which it is placed against all external attack,
by internal unanimity, &c.
About ten o'clock the Noble President retired,
and the Chair was successively filled by the Hon.
Mr. arti IN,TONE, and Mr. Gr4ORGE GLENRY,
the exertion of whose convival powerti, at so late an
hour in the evening, met with universal mid deserv-
ed applause. We ought not to forget that the din.
ner. and the wines were excellent and that the
Stewards dichatged their duty with much regularity
and'decorum.
