Mr Mackay, who here spoke with great humour
in the character of Bailie Jarvie.---My conscience!
My worthy father the deacon could not have believed
that his son could hae had sic a compliment
paid to him by the Great Unknown!
Sir Walter Scott.---The Small Known now,
Mr Bailie.
Mr Mackay.---He had been long identified with
the Bailie, and he was vain of the cognomen which
he had now worn for eight years; and he questioned
if any of his brethren in the Council had given
such universal satisfaction. (Loud laughter and applause.)
Before he sat down, he begged to propose
``the Lord Provost and the City of Edinburgh.''
Sir Walter Scott apologized for the absence
of the Lord Provost, who had gone to London on
public business.
Tune---``Within a mile of Edinburgh town.''
Sir Walter Scott gave, ``The Duke of Wellington
and the army.''
Glee---``How merrily we live.''
``Lord Melville and the Navy, that fought till
they left nobody to fight with, like an arch sportsman
who clears all and goes after the game.''
Mr Pat. Robertson---They had heard this
evening a toast, which had been received with intense
delight, which will be published in every
newspaper, and will be hailed with joy by all Europe.
