EDINBURGH FOOT-BALL SOCIETY.

This Society, which has been established for 'two
years, held their second annual dinner in the New Slaughters'
Tavern, Stockbridge, on Friday evening last. This Society has for
its object the practice of those athletic exercises engaged in by the
Six Feet, Border and Highland Clubs, &c. viz. throwing the
hammer, putting the stone, quoits, running and leaping, with
the additian of the highly spirited and national game of foot-ball.
Its meetings are held once a week during the Summer months on
Burntsfield Links, and from the rapldincrease of its numbers, and
the interest taken in it by the members, it seems to bid fair to be-
come a principal rallying point for the youth of- Edinburgh to engage
in those healthy and invigorating exercises which are now so gent-.
rally and deservedly recomniended. About sixty members attended
the anniversary dinner, which was served up in Mr. Presgrave's
best style; and the evening was Spent in great harmony mid conv6l
vtality.

DOVER, Nov. 16. •

Arrived yesterday his Majesty's Post-effice packet
Salamander, from Calais, laving on board his Excel-
lency Le Chevalier ZEA DE BERMUDEZ (Envoy Extra-
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from his MOST
CATHOLIC MAJESTY to the Court of London), his Lady,
and suite; also, Sir
,RICHARD and Lady VAUGHAN,
Mrs. and Miss SMYTHE, and thirty other passengers.

At four o'clock this afternoon the Crusader Post-
office packet, Captain loam, from Calais, appeared off
the Harbour Piers, with four carriages on deck and a
great many passengers; but it blowing a strong gale
from the S.W. with a heavy surf, a signal was made
from Pier flag-staff that it would be dangerous to at-
tempt the harbour entrance, and the packet accordingly
bore away tor Ramsgate.
