But you must lay aside modesty upon the present occasion , and drink the toast which I am about to give . It is health and prosperity to the city of Glasgow , and also to tbe prosperity of all who wish well to the city of Glasgow ; and I couple that toast with the name of the Lord Provost and Magistrates of Glasgow , who must be dear to the citizens , otherwise they would not have been placed in the position they occupy . That they have discharged the duties to ivhich they have been elected

, fame and public opinion bear full testimony ; that they deserve the full confidence of the city , their position and the situations which they hold are sufficient to assure mo . I beg you will drink the health of the Lord Provost and Magistrates , and join me in wishing that the people of Glasgow may long continue to enjoy that freedom of opinion which they have always shown themselves worthy of .

The Lord Provost replied in suitable terms . The Rev . Professor Calderwood proposed " Success to the Glasgow Industrial Schools , " replied to by Mr . C . C . M'Kirdy Mr . Dalglish , M .

ROYAL ARTILLERY THEATRICAL CLUB , WOOLWICH . On Wednesday , the 26 th ult ., a performance was given in the R . A . Recreation Rooms by the officers of the above club , by permission of Gen . E . C . Warde , C . B ., Commandant . The performance commenced with Used Up , Bro . F . C . Hughes Hallet sustaining the principal part of " Sir Charles Coldstream " iu so able and finished a manner that showed tbe perfect artist in the

delineation of so difficult a character . Bro . J . J . Pope played the Blacksmith , " John Ironbrace , " with great success , his muscular form , in addition to his conception of the part , drew forth rounds of applause . Miss C . Addison played and looked charming . The other characters incidental to the piece were played exceedingly well by tbe officers of tbe 11 . A ., embracing the names of Messrs . W . C . Rothe , S . De Lacy , E . Wickham ,

and H . B . Kingscote , Bro . J . J . Pope sang a comic song that was vociferously encored , and was again called a third time and sang another song that kept the audience in a roar ; his talents are of no mean order and perfectly original . The farce by E . Yates , Esq ., entitled Mg Friend from Leatherheadin ivhich Bros . Pope aud Hallet were assisted by the

, members of the company , brought the evening ' s entertainment to a close at a late hour . At the end of every act tbe members were called before the curtain and received a perfect ovation . The band of the Royal Artillery played during the evening some very excellent music .

TRUE joy is a serene and sober emotion , and they are miserably out that take laughing for rejoicing . The seat of it is within , and there is no cheerfulness like the resolutions of a brave mind . RICHES are like the leaves of a tree , beautiful for a season only , but when the winter's storm arises they fall off and are blown away .
