During the recent visit of Mr Sothern to Edinburgh he was aßked out to dinner by the officers of the 17th Lancers. Before the wine was cleared off the table the officers pressed Mr Sothern to perform a part of one of his characters, which, of course, he very naturally declined. They continued, however, to press him so much that he reluctantly consented, and commenced the drunken scene from David Garrick, when to the astonishment of all present he swept the cloth clean off the table, smashing glasses, decanters, plateß, &c, wholsesale.
