I MR. WGODIN'S ENTERTAINMENT.—In additl°l
to tho great number of characters which Mr. Weediu
nightly performs at the Polygraphic Hall, King William'
street, he last evening, for the int time, gave a persona'
tion and imitation of the celebrated Mr. Pechter's Hamlet.
The portion of the play which he has selected for this
representation is that where Hamlet accuses himself of
want of courage in not taking vengeance upon his uncle for
the murder of his father, and where his meditations are
brought to a close by the conviction he arrives at, auci'
PlaTyhetihnetotnhaintigon of his voice, hie;

GI: ME PROSPECTs.—On all the extensive rang°
of shooting-grounds from Loch Tay to Crieff, the reports,
says the Scotsman, continue
to represent grouse as still ita'
proving, and in regard to numbers, sportsmen may calculate
that they will
require an ample supply of ll'4 powder and 0
this season,
for on every moor the birds are plentiful, stroat
healthy, and wild. On the hills of Lawers, Glenledn°'
G
lenturret, Dunira, Ardinarlich, Aberuchill, Strowallf
Drummond, Edinaruple, and Lochearnside, not only grouse,
but woodcocks, partridges, pheasants, and all other kinds 0'
game, are numerous, and in fine condition. On the (NO
r Inge grouse were never rife except on the west-end, but io
Strathallan, on the moors of Abercairney, Braco, Ardoob,
and Cromlix the coveys are numerous, and partridges, hhres,
and wild ducks have not been so rife for many years. The
accounts from the forests continue to be cheering. The
abundance of grass and the dry spring was favourable Pr,
the deer, for it is a well-known fact that the animals will
withstand any kind of weather except a continuance of Wet'
Owing to the fine condition of deer during the autumn and
winter, the fawning season was the most propitious whirl'
has occurred for a long period, and it is remarkable that thtl
greater part of the hinds had twins this year, which caused
many of the fawns to be destroyed. The roe•deer are as.
abunanni in all the forests and woods of Strathearla
