The Coursing Meeting was.fixed to commence this morn-

ponement imperative ; it now stands for Thursday and Sa-
turday. Since this was determined on the weather has again
changed; it now rains heavily, so that the Steeple Chase is
almost safe to come off.

CELTIC ENTERTAIIMENT.—The• Highland Pipers
and Dancers gavo an entertainment on Tuesday evening at the
Music-hall, Store-street. The company were numerous and
highly respectable,' and evinced great pleasure in witnessing
the agility of the dancers. '" Gillie Callum," (or the Sword
dance) by M'Dougall, and the " HighlandiShePherdess,"
bl M'Donald, were. cleverly executed and loudly ap-
puded. The "Piobaireachd of Tailte a Prionns," (Prince
Charles's. Salute) was heautifully.played 'by
.Cameron, who
displays great taste in his playing, as well as in his manner
on the stage. 1). M'Kay gave " Mackintosh's Lament" be-
tween the parts, which served to relieve the dullness that
pervaded the room on thepreiious oecaiiona. These pleasant
and amusing entertainments are to be repeated on Friday
afternoon at the Same place,
evening, and every Tuesday
until furtherricitice. ' •

GOING A-HEAD" RATHER.—The New York He-
rald says, " The country is prosperous, and he who trades on
the cash system, and believes in God and women, can always
live happily, and get rich slowly. , This great republic is the
Garden of Eden among the nations. We have nearly twenty
tnillions of inhabitants—one thousand millions of dollars
worth of annual produce—thirty or forty religions, and a new
one every month—two hundred broken banks—=eighty mil-
lions of specie—two thousand financiers not yet in the state
priions—and any quantity of fine land, high mountains,
splendid rivers, with a sun and moon the .best and brightest
that ever took the great circuit of eternity."
