SHOOTING.

The dry weather has been unfavourable to partridge shooting I
the birds are said to be numerous, but remarkably shy ; add to
which, there is no scent. The inexperienced shot has therefore
come off short. The number of certificates takes out is said to
be considerably less than last year.

A BF.RDEEN—Ssersmsita 11.
Yesterday the United Meeting of the Counties of Aberdeen;
Forfar, Banff, and Kincardine commenced here. The Meeting
promises to be very numerous, and highly fashionable; and the
weather, which was most propitious for the sports of yesterday,
we trust will continue so during the week. The first Public
Dinner ./n-' hall of the Meeting were held last night in the splen-
did New Ito, Its in Union-street, with which the company at
large seemed highly &lighted. These rooms are now superbly
furnished; and with the tea and card-rooms, billiard-rooms, ves-
tibule, saloon, and ante-chambers, combine to form one of the
most splendid establishments of the kind in this country. About
180 sat down to dinner; which comprised abundance of venison,
Se choicest wines, and all the delicacies of the season. The
bandsdsise proportions of the banqueting-room are such as to af-
ield ample accommodation for double that number..

the coach, the faithful animal 'hewed by all the means in his
power, placing his fore levees the wheel and moaning, his d!-
liken( accompanying him. When she. coach started, Hector fol-

ecaebolliese whence it was with difficulty it could be gut home.
