That the public have been much 'gratified with the Earl of
Wilton's kindness In affording them the delighttul annual recreations
of the race. in his Lordship's park, is a matter of notoriety. To
show the grateful esteem which they entertain for the noble author

the week, waked on the Noble Rol at Heaton, and intimated
that they had raised a subscription to the amount of 2004 for the
purpose of purchasing a cup to be run for at the nest Hea•on
Park Races, if it should meet with his Lordship's approbation.
Lord Wilton expressed himself much pleased with the feeling
evinced by the Gentlemen who thus volunteered an addition to

great interest.
EDINBURGH, October 10.

Saturday last, on the banks of the far-famed Carron,
the honour of the silver amw was shot for by the members of the
Denny Archer's Club. After a keen contest, the arrow was re-
pined by John Wilson, Esq. Broompark. Also two arrows, with
poison under their barbs, formerly belonging to one of the savage
tribes on the coast of Africa, were shot for and gained by Mr.
Wilson. A Gentleman, a member of the Club, gives out season
a handsome bow, to be shot for at the distance of 50 yards. Not-
withstanding the rather unfavourable state of the weather, there
was a considerable display of beauty and fashion on the field.
Gotvzsc.---Last week, the t. Andrews annual golf
meeting was held. Wednesday beiug the first day of meeting, the
silver club was played for, and won by Sir David Erskine, of
Cambo. Batt. who was declared Captain for the ensuing year. Oa
the two first days, several matches were played over the course;
and on Friday the gold medal of the Club was competed for. The
day being favourable, the amateurs of this game were pretty nu-
merous. The competitors started at twelve o'clock, in pain, each
attended by markers, and upon comparing notes at the termination
of the round, Major Holcroft, of St. Andrews, was found to be
the successful candidate, he having holed the links at 109 strokes.
The amusements of this day were concluded by a ball and supper,
given by the golfers in their Hall, which was one of the most mag-
nificent and numerously attended of any within recollection.
The whalers, this season, it is understood, were at the
west side of the Straits by the 20th of July, although they had to
go round by Melville Bay : on their first getting to the west side,
there was every prospect of a great fishery, but, owing to heavy
gales, the land ice was broken up, and soon disappeared, together
with the fish. The Home Castle, of Leith, and Jace, of Aber-
deen. were both lost in crossing Melville Bay.
The sudden vivacity of trade in Paisley has very
agreeably surprised the inhabitants of that active community.
Drawboys are now earning more than the weavers themselves did
two months ago. Thibet shawls, which at that time could have
been purchased at 50s now sell for E 4 or .C 5, with only the addi-
tion of an embroidered centre. Last week, the soup kitchens
were closed, for the satisfactory reason that nobody would take the
soup.—Glasgow Courier.
STIRLINt; ....Considerable surprise was excited in this
town on Wednesday, when it was announced that James John-
ston, of Streaton, Esq. intended to come Iprward as a Candidate
for the representation of the burgh of Stirling in Parliament on the
first vacancy that should occur.—Stir/ing Journal.
A RBRUATii.---Sir Jas. Carnegie, of Southesk, Bart.
bat intimated his intention of starting as a Candidate to prewnt this
district of boroughs in Parliament at the neat election, in opposi-
tion to our present patriotic Member, Mr. Hume.—Dtissee Mr.

SINGULAR EXiiiRITIONTLTwo Italians, with mon-
keys dressed in the royal tartan. sitting on their shoulders, were
placed at the bar of the Edinburgh Police Court, the other day,
charged with being pests, vagrant., and beggars. Charles Macin.
patrole.man, a genuine Celt, declared that it was a great
shame to see Gibraltar puggies dressed in the Prince Charlie tartan.
" Monkey.," said the worthy Celt, " have no right to wear the
tartan ate, let alum that of the Prince. There are no monkeys or
apes in Badenoch, please your honour ; and I told them I would
gi e them and their monkeys& red face !vetoer the bailie the morn,
for dancing to shentleman's paints i' the royal tartan" 'lke Nia-
gistrate said that the city was completely over.run with vagrants
of a!I aorta and denominations, particularly after harvest and that
be was determined, if possible, to dear the streets 01 titter pests.
At the same time he was unwilling to due three poor creatures for
the first offence, and if they promised to quit Edinburgh alit their
comp Atl y he would discharge them. The men bowed their acs
quiescence to the Court, and the little gentleman in tartan, whose
toggery liAti so scandalised the loyal feelings of Charlie Mackintosh,
scratched heir cheeks. seemingly WO" tilt"ed to leave their quar-
ters in regimeet.l order—and the while group quitted the Court
amidst the :aughter of the minty auditory with which it was
crowded.
