[From the Edinburgh Courant, April a.)
EDINBURGH SOCIETY OP HIGHLANDERS.

The first anniversary of this society was cele-
brated on Thursday, last in the British Hotel,
Prince's-street. The meeting was numerous and
respectable. The members and visitants appeared
in the full Highland dress of their respective clans.
A splendid dinner was provided by Mr. M.Lean,
with excellent wines, and a due portion of their
own native and favourite beverage, Highland
whisky. The evening passed away in the utmost
harmony. The laudable purposes that drew the
.Members together as a society, glowed in every
bosom, and broke forth in'every sentiment—these
purposes, as we formerly had occasion to observe,
are to keep alive the language, dress, and customs
of their ancestors, their funds being principally
devoted to benevolent objects. Many loyal and
patriotic toasts were given, and songs sung, in
the Gaelic language, appropriate to the occasion;
and the company broke up at a late hour, singn-
larly gratified with such an opportunity. of recall-
ing feelings connected with " Tir mem begun,
tea' w gleaun agus na'n gaigach."

tered at Piershill'Birracks, have received notice
