Earl Spencer has been visiting Lord Kinnaird at Rossie Priory,
and Lord Panmure at Brechin Castle: Lord Panmure delighted his guest by the exhibition of some remarkably fine cattle; which, how- ever, might have been improved, in the opinion of the noble grazier, by crossing the breed with some Southern beasts.
On Thursday week, between two and three hundred of the inhabi- tants of Paisley entertained their distinguished townsman, Professor Wilson of Edinburgh, at a public dinner. The demand for tickets was very great ; a high premium on them was freely offered in many instances; and five hundred, had a room been found large enough for the purpose, could easily have been disposed of. The chair was occu- pied by Sheriff Campbell. On his right was Professor Wilson, and on his left Thomas Campbell, the bard of Hope. The principal speakers were the Chairman, Professor Wilson, Mr. Campbell, and Mr. Weir, editor of the Glasgow Argus. Mr. Weir pronounced a feeling and eloquent eulogium on the character of the late Mr. Mother- well of Glasgow.
