"The l.luo Hells \ of Scotland" and "Dame Dindeii" (re- I peated by genel'td desire) a Horded vtiriely to the pro : ;rauime, and met with a unanimously hearty reception from the auditory. We must not omit to mention that Ihe piano, which not only has a most Unique appearance, bill possesses every quality requisite Id make a good instrument, is (he property "f Mr. Longford, who has just received it from Ihe linn of Messrs. Hogg and (\>. If is of hYeneh manufacture, hearing Ihe name of " dipp. I'aris." and of a discretion that bids failto earn for b oenera! favour.
