The Clarendon Hotel, Maclaggan street, Dunedm, has been taken by Mrs. Wishart, late oE the Royal Exchange. Mrs. Wishart's well fouuded reputation as a hostess requires no further commendation from us, and is in itself the best possible guarantee of the manner in which her establishment will be conducted. Under her management the Clarendon will certainly rank among the first hotels in the city. Mr. E.
