Sir Robert Peel is to be invited to a public
entertainment in Edin- burgh. The Glasgow dinner is to take place On the It2th of January. The Glasgow Argus says— "'The exact number of tickets to be issued has not been fixed, but in all pro- bability they will amount to upwards of two thousand. The ground appro- priated for the dinner (a large plot behind the house of .111r. John Gordon, Buchanan Street) is, we understand, capable of accommodating a great many more. The demand for tickets to the dinner is vet), great, applications having been received from all parts of the country ; so that it will not be a 'demonstra- tion ' of the feelings of the West, but a gathering of the Tories scattered all over the face of Scotland. If Sir Robert accepts of a dinner, as proposed, in Edinburgh, that circumstance will, in all likelihood, have the effect of checking the immigration from the East."
About two hundred gentlemen and tenants of the Duke of Bue- cleuch gave Sir George Clerk a dinner, at Dalkeith, on Thursday week. The proceedings do not require any notice, beyond the bare announce- ment that such a dinner was given and sundry Tory speeches deli- vered. There seems to be no doubt of Sir George Clerk's ejection from the representation of Mid-Lothian.
