mart for respectable sales ; it was built on tlie site of
the old Parliaiuent-house, in the year 1818, and is
the property of the Royal Arch Lodge of Freemasons.
An elegant little Theatre stands in Athol-street; the
interior is fitted up with taste and neatness, in a
atyleqa'ite unique. On the Inches many oftlie citizens
eiijoy, and ardently engage in, the athletic sports and
exercises, especially ciicket, football, and the national
game of golf: the Royal Perth Golfing Sotiety has at
present his Majesty the King as patron, his Grace the
Duke of Buccleugh as captain, and includes in its roll
of members a great many of the nobility and gentry ;
the hall or parlour of the society is at 21, Charlotte-
street. The Barracks, erected in 1795, at the west end
of Athol-street, form a handsome building, originally
intended to accommodate two hundred cavalry, but
lately converted to the use of infantry ; they will con-
tain a full reKiment.
The weekly market-day is Friday : the fairs, since
the year 1822, have been altered by the magistrates and
town-council, on account of the general inconvenience
resulting from (he days formerly appointed falling on
the same days, or at the same time, with the fairs
of Falkirk and other places ; therefore they are now
held on the first Fridays of March, April, July, Sep-
tember and October, and the second Friday of De-
cember : a cattle market is likewise held, on the South
Inch, on every Friday from the third occurrence of
that day in December to the middle of June; and a
horse market takes place on the first Friday in May.
The population of the city, according to the census
of 1831, was 20,016; but to this it would be proper to
add the amount of the denizens of Bridge End su-
burb, which, beinx in the parish of Kinnoul, was not
included in the returns for that year: this addition
would make the population of Perth upwards of 23,000.
