Other errors I left as I found them, it being of little consequence whether I spoke sense or nonsense in what was merely intended for the purpose of the hour.
I am, sir, Your obedient servant, EDINBURGH, MONDAY.

WALTER SCOTT.
***** The Theatrical Fund Dinner, which took place on Friday, in the Assembly Rooms, was conducted with admirable spirit.

The Chairman, Sir WALTER SCOTT, among his other great qualifications, is well fitted to enliven such an entertainment.

His manners are extremely easy, and his style of speaking simple and natural, yet full of vivacity and point; and he has the art, if it be art, of relaxing into a certain homeliness of manner, without losing one particle of his dignity.

He thus takes off some of that solemn formality which belongs to such meetings, and, by his easy, and graceful familiarity, imparts to them somewhat of the pleasing character of a private entertainment.
