The Glasgow Argns gives an account of the tilting, which commenced on Wednesday. Unhappily, the weather was very untlivourable, and the crowd of spectators very much out of spirits-

" The banners were drenched, and had a soiled and Bagging appearance,

while the plumes of the Knights liana in 'fueled glory ' over the helmets of their wearers. The very horses had a demure aspect—the spectators were dreadfully cowed; and though the procession was, notwithstanding all this, the best part of the exhibition, saving always the gram' stand, its reception along the line, and in the lists, was inexpressibly cold. The cheering was feeble ; and the presence of ',oral Eglintonn, a: he rode along, seemed the only circumstance that conld call forth any thiiT like a It etrty Ilarrall from the on- lookers. His Lordship, who sustained tlo•eliaracter of I.ord of t he Tournament-, wore a splendid suit of armour, which was, in a manner, covcred with gold, anti richly elta:cd. His horse. though not a powerful animal, was a very spirited one, and richly caparisoned in cloth uif loc and tttl. The noble Earl seemeti to take great delight in caracoling round the lists ; and was, as we have already 'bled. received everywhere with cheers.

The loveliness of Lady Seymour, Queen of l3eauty, was of course declared to be sur- passing.— " .1i this grghtl centre of attraction. the kni:dits, on entering the lists, basiened to pay their devoirs, and then repaired each to the tent erected for his reception.

The tiltinr_r was then commenced; and, in all conscience, a sorry enough affair it was.
