Wednesday evening the Catch Club of Canterbury
commenced its delightful amusement for the season, on
which r.ccasion M•. C. 11.:Imar presided with his usual
ability. The concert was conducted by Mr. T. Good-
ban in a masterly style, and the whole of the'orche•tra
ev-rnd themstives in a rnAnnir which elicited general
applause; indeed it at! irded a treat for the amateurs of
music. Miss Longhurst, who has for sometime sung at
these concerts, again delighted the company with seve-
ral songs, which she emuted with much skill.

At the sale of the remaining part of the celebrated
sheep stock of the late Edward Ombler, Esq. of Saluh
Grange, .the rams, about 130 in number, averaged ra-
ther more than 121. Bs. each. The highest price was
50 guineas, given for a shearling ram.

At a digner party, a few days since, the conversation
I turned upon the military achievements of the late war. and a Gen-
tiensan remarked upon the many instances which had occurred of
the sons of tailors having chosen the military profession. A wag
present observed that be thought the Navy would have been the
more proper profession of the trio, and assigned as a reason, in sup-
port of his opinion, the supwioe knowledge which the Gentlemen in
question must have possessed of Weisz nit.
