Saturday 14 Nov 1818 (p. 3, col. 3) SCOTCH NEWS-Nov. 13. On Saturday last, the 7th curt. the Annandale Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Colonel M'MURDO and Captain GRIERSON, left Annan, where they had been quartered for a few days on permanent duty. They were inspected the preceding day, and, notwithstanding an incessant and very heavy rain, the troop mustered nearly its full complement of stout good-looking young gentlemen, excellently mounted, and in complete regimentals, and performed a number of evolutions in a manner highly creditable to both officers and men, and such as drew from their commanding officer many loud and repeated commendations. In the evening, the troop sat down to an excellent dinner in the Queensberry Arms Inn, which was served up in Bailie BENSON's usual most splendid stile, displaying every delicacy of the season, and accompanied with a copious libation of that gentleman's superior and far-famed farintosh. Exactly at nine o'clock (the hour previously fixed upon) the music struck up a merry glee, and the party were summoned to the ball-room, where a large and brilliant assemblage of beauty and fashion greeted their arrival; dancing was immediately commenced, and was kept up with great spirit till a very late hour, when the company broke up, all infinitely delighted with the amusements of the evening. On Thursday, Mr. AFFLECK, in company with several others while at work in a shed, in the Old Flesh-market, Dumfries, discovered beneath the stones, a pocket-book, containing bank checks, bills, and various other documents to a considerable amount. This pocket-book proves to be the property of Mr. LAWRIE, a native of Galloway, who was robbed of the same during the fair-week, and who had in vain endeavoured to discover the thieves. On Monday last, a basket of ripe strawberries were served up, with the dessert, at the table of Sir John HERON MAXWELL, which grew in the garden of Kirouchtrie, and in the open air, without being forced in any manner whatever. On the 4th inst. the Associate Congregation of Stockbridge, (Berwickshire) gave a harmonious call to Mr. David INGLIS, preacher, to be their pastor. The Rev. Robert MACLAURIN, Coldingham, preached and presided. The son of Widow COCHRANE, who was apprehended at Glasgow, along with two women, as soon as it was discovered that she had been murdered, was liberated on Friday, as what has transpired on the precognition warranted his liberation.
