NORTH BRITISH AND MERCANTILE INSURANCE. — Mr. James Logan, the widely-known and highly-esteemed local manager at the Newcastle branch, recently attained his jubilee in the company’s service, and was entertained at dinner by the directors in Edinburgh. The chair was occupied by Mr. D. B. Wauchope, the senior director, and Mr. Quintin Hogg, chairman of the general court, was also present, as were several members of the Newcastle local board. After dinner, Mr. Logan was presented by the directors with a very handsome massive silver bowl, as a token of their personal regard and appreciation of his long and successful services. The bowl, which is a copy of an old Irish bowl of date about 1700, was supplied by Messrs. Hamilton and Inches, Goldsmiths, Princes Street, Edinburgh.

There has just been erected in St. Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh, a memorial to the late Mr. Lindsay Mackersy, W.S., clerk of the church and parish. The memorial, which has been placed in the vestibule of the north door, is in the form of a bronze tablet, which in its brief inscription conveys a sense of the very great services Mr. Mackersy rendered to St. Giles's during his lifetime. The tablet was designed by Messrs. Hamilton and Inches, of Edinburgh.
