The number d t pectators was greater than within the recollettion of the oldest hdo bitants—perhaps no lea than SO,OOO persois,were present.— when the carriage appeared on the opposite shore, lan eyes were f lie d on the spot ; loot no itioncr bad the steam-boat left the shore w ith the carriage on board, than a large gun, which was stationed to *tweet. was Ind, the bands immediately striking up " 0, ye'su b o ating o' awoke!" This was an interesting moment, and re tailed the memorable landing of the Kos at Leith. The fire was mat ered.frosa the weed-yard of Mr. BALD,' to the east, and kept i p all thethied erasing. The boat having now reached the op. pate shore, \ Lord Amami= immediately spranr over the bul warks, and welcomed the old Earl and his two daughters, by hear Lily shaking them by the hands. The horses being taken from the ca ffiage,. a great many sturdy fellows pulled it from the boat to the l u do( the pier, amidst the loud huazas of the multitude, wbeie it re mained till the whole line of procession had passed it, and with which the Earl was highly delighted, although at times he appeared to be overcome with the distinguabing honours he was receiving.

The body was procured in the space of a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes, but not till life was completely ex tinct, though every meant to restore animation was resorted to.

Henry Thomas Meg was put to the bar, on an indictment charging him with a most wanton and unprovolwd assault on the person of James Watersoo, in Gray's Inn-road, on the 12th sof August last. The prosecutor stated, that on the day in question he was return ing 'to his master's house, near Bedford square,. >r eotnpant-with his master's son, and another young Gentleman. , Tile defendant had a dog with him, which barked at his young muter, who took up a atone to defend himself ; the witness also took up something: and on the dog coming up to them, they were in the act *4l-Wag . him away. The defendant" immediately ran up, and beai with a stick, as thici as a man's 6nger, the prosecutor all aver his perion. Several persons passing interfered, and rescued him from further ill-treatment, at the saute time compelling the defendant to give his address. The defence set up was, that the prosecutor attacked the dog 6rst, and raised% blob round the defendant. who ' as alleged, onhi mastetately chastised him. . He, however, failed to convince the Jury of his moderation, and they found Pain Oskiltp YOUTHFUL DRLINCIUENTS. Three mere boys, named Smith, Lewis, and ration, were put to the bar, charged with being reputed thieves, and with robbing a 'Gentleman, whose name was unknown, of a silk handkerchief, in the Strand. Neither of the young rogues have attained their biz teenth year,,, but are well known to the police. Two of them. Lewis and Smith, bare been tried at the Old Bailey, and publicly sebipped.--The charge was clearly proved against them, and the Jury found them Guilty. Yesterday, Mr. PHILLIPS applied on behalf of a Mr. Thornton, who 'complained of a poor woman, named 'Susan Melon, putting him in bodily fear, and following him froth 'Wapping to Bunhill-row, whither be had removed to avoid her; he now wished to ex hibit articles of the peace against her, on the ground of her being insane. The CHAIRMAN said, that the best way would be to proceed by indictment. He could not confine the wo man'for insanity, as it would be imprisonment for life. Mr. Palw.tra said, that the woman had taken a par- I ticular notion into her head that there was a charm in drawing blcind; and pet her notion int, execution, by wounding. Mr.. Thornton's hand, which took a long while to heal. She had lately expressed a strong desire to repeat her charming operation, as being absolutely necessary to complete the enchantment. It was for protection from this magic that Mr. Thornton applied to the Court. The Cif/OILMAN asked if a bill of bithetment was not now before the Grand Jury ? Mr. Puzwes.—Yes, but. CllBllllllAll.—Well, what more can you want? . The poor woman, attended by her sister, appeared in Court, on bail. She was a sickly diminutive creature. • , Mr. Thornton was now called.—On coming forward Ms . ap-, pearance, which was John Bullish and gigantic, excited laagliter. The CUAIRMAX said, be thought the little woman was really more afraid than the complainant. (Laughter). Her sister said she would be answerable for Susan's behaviour in future, if the Court would now forgive her. Her recognizance was then taken in .020, and the case was discharged. John Watsmt, a tax-collector, was charged with as saulting Edward Evans,•an oil and colourman, when calling for 4s. 6d. being the Watch-rate due. It ap peared that the tax-man had called the day before, and bad some words with the colourman's wife, which the colourman resented the next day, by ordering the offender ont of his 'shop. This led to a scuttle, in which the tax-man throttled the colourtnan, threatening to murder and daremmithim. M.

After'sub mining to numberless insults and continued dangers; his patience was at length exhausted, And his personal safety demanded that he should try to break the bond age under which he had for two years groaned. Less aanfortunate than his brother, Louis XVI. by the C011t4.. ,geouescapes din June, assistance ueo, 1791, a 4 171 Swede, Count de Persen, he by way of Valenciennes into Brabant, when he joined his brother, Count d'Artoi's, and the other Princes of his house, at Cohlente. ‘ . Failing to rally round him a sufficient number of Prenchmen to attempt his restnrition, he sought 'refuge in Germany ; he afterwards lived at Turin with his father-in-law, the King of Siialinia, and then at Verona, under the name of the Count de Lille. Oa the death of his nephew, Louis XVII. he assumed the name of , Louis XVIII. In 1796, Louis XVIII. who had res'desf some time at Venice, was, in complianCe with a reqnisition from the Government of France,, commanded to leave that! 'State. He then,accompanied by only two office, sr,repaii ed . to the head-quarters of the Prince of Conde, at Riegal. Louis XVIII. learned at the same moment the deithi of the Duc d'Enghien, and that the Order of the Golden' Fleece had . been bestowed upon Bonaparte. His Ma jesty instantly retutned his decoration of the Order, the investiture-of which he had received, being a French Prince, to. Charles IV. with the followink letter:— . " SIRE, and dear cousin, it is with regret that I return you the lasignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece, which his Majesty, your father, of glorious memory, confided to me, There can exist nothing in common between me and the great criminal whom -audacity and fortune hate placed upon my throne, which be has had the barbarity to stain with the pure blood of a Bourbon, the' Otic d'Faigbien. Religion teaches me to pardon an assassin, but the tyrant of my subjects ought always to be my enemy. Paoroxelca, from inscrutable motives, may ordain that I shall end my days in exile, but neither my contemporaries nor posterity, shall ever, even ACI my last breath, say. that in the hour of adversity I 'hewed myself seaworthy of occupying the throne of my ancestors." in the summer of 1793, when looking out of the window of an ,obscure German Inn, near Mai, he was wounded in the upper part, of the forehead by a ball, Supposed to have been fired from a horse-pistol on the opposite side of the street. The perpetrator was never discovered, and Louis XVIII. forbade all search to be made after him. In 1798, Louis XVIIL was acknowledged by the Emperor of Russia, Paul I. as King of France and Navarre ; and was invited by him to reside ih the ducal castle at Mittau, until he could restore him to the throne Of his ancestors. Louis therefore left the army of Conde, • with whom he had for nearly two years shared all:pri-. vations, penury, want, and dangers. At Mittau he was first treated with all the honours due to a Sovereign, which another more fortunate Prince could bestow. He had a guard of honour of 'vim hundred Russians in his, castle, besides a body-guard of French Noblemen, created for him, and paid by the Emperor. The Rus sian commander at Mittau was entirely under his orders;, and his levees were crowded by the Nobility of Cour. 4nd, Livonia, and RUssia. As the pecuniary, bounties; '4 Paul were more than sufficient for a Prince, econoa ruical from principle and custom, as,well ai from deli-, cagy, a number of rained exiles flocked 'to Russia to share them. The duration o f this prospetous adversity, however, was not long ; the Emperor, influenced by the power of France, suddenly changed his, conduct, and sent the King, whom he had acknowledged and invited to his dominions, orders to quit the Russian territory within a week. Three months previous to this order; the payment of the usual pension' had been withheld, and Louis XVIII: and all the -Frenchmen at MUM were, in consequence, reduced to the utmost distress, be-. cause they had all been ordered to depart with their King. The Duchess of Angouleme, the virtuous daughter of Louis XVI. had never ceased to reside with her uncle since she had recovered her liberty, and married her first cousin. On the order coming from the Emperor, she inquired of her uncle what he intended to do ? The King told her it was his determination," to quit within twenty-four hours, a countty'whereinsUltend humilia tion had taken the place of hospitality ; and thit - as he had not the means to travel as he, had formerly done, and the little that he possessed was necessary for the support of thoie of his subjects who hid accompanied him, he-would on the neat day leave Mittau on foot, and shew the unfortunate French exiles to example how to support misfortunes." ' At her marriage, the Duchess of Angouleme had received from her first cousins. the Emperor and Ens• press of Germany, a box of jewels'; and without in forming any person of her intention, she sent for some Jews, and obtained upon these jewels a slim of money sufficient, not only for her uncle's travelling expenses, but to provide for the immediate wants of her countrp men at Mittau. When her uncle, the next morning, discovered this generous act, the tears of all the re lieved 'Frenchmen told their Prince, that by pressing his niece to his bosom, he should reward,instead of resent ing the first act of her life which she had ever concealed from hiin. This young Princess had, in the dungeons of the Temple, early learnt to know the little value of either jewels, rank, or even life ; as well as the real duty of humanity, and the worth of undeserved wretchedness. , After some wanderings in the wilds of inhospitable Prussia, the policy of Bonaparte to keep Louis XVIII. at a distance from his kingdom, left him at last permis sion to inhabit the castle-of the dethroned King of Po land, at Warsaw; where, in more fortunate times, one of his own ancestors, Henry 111. had ruled as a King; where his maternal ,grandfather, Stanislaus, had beer, elected King, by a Polish Diet, and proscribed as an Usurper by a Polish faction. What painful remem brances, what sad teflections, for the well-informed and active mind of Louis XVIIL I The tranquillity of this - retreat was disturbed by' another humiliation from another Monarch. The Prus sian Minister, Meyer, asked Louis XVIII. to renounce the throne of France in favour of Bonaparte; but he refused with a noble dignity, which must have appalled the man who'thus dared to insult him. A plot having been discovered, which had for its object the assassina tion of the King, determined him to quit Warsaw, which he did within a few days after. The last and only safe asylum of the House of Bout-- on was in England, where they were received, net evilly .1) with the kindest hospitality, but when all 'the pensions from the several crowned heads Of °Europe tat one time , amounting to 120,00(11. a yeal) had ceased, they still receiveal sufficient to enable them to live in splendour. The royal palace at 1141yrood wee assigned- to thenf; bur'Louis XVIII. principally resided at Hartwell, a seat belonging to the Marquis of Buckingham. There -he remained until the fall of Bonaparte enabled him to ascend the throne of his ancestors: , When the Senati and Legislature of Franc* had se• called this long-persecuted Monarch, he isas.d•through London on his way to Paris. His entry into the British metropolis on -the 20th of Aptil, 1814, was like a triumph. The Prince Regent went 'to Stanmose to ' meet him, from which place they were to proceed in state. When his Majesty had got within a short dis tance of the village, the populace took the horses from his carriage, and drew him into the town. The Prince . received the exiled Monarch at the door of the inn, ac cording to the French custom, by affectionately em brachlg him. They then rode together in the state-car riage to town, where an immense concourse of spectators of all raelo bad assembled to view this interesting pro. cessioq. On the 23.1, the King left town for Dover; and the Prince Regent, who had set off from London two hours before him, dined with him in the evei.i..g on board his yacht. The next day he proceedel 1.1 triumph to his capital, after an exile of 23 years. . ..r. SPORTING IN I'ELLIGRNCE. , ST. FILLAN'S HIGHLAND SOCIETY. This S..lrty, which was instituted by Lord Gwydyr, for the pur pose of perpetuating and encouraging the peculiar and favourite amusements of the Highlanders, held their Fifth Annual Meeting on tlie.3lst nit. The Society assembled about eleven o'clock, in their liall, a neat building in the village of St. Fillan's, situated at the foot of Loch Earn, from whence they proceeded along a cir cuitous road to the field fitted up for the sports of the day; each Clan fully attired in their respective garbs, headed by their leaders and pipers, with the Chieftain or Preses in front. T number in this procession was from 400 tp 500, and, ashen shading through the hilk„had a most imposing erect. When they arrived on the ,ground, the Society formed around the stage _fitted up lot the va rious exhibitions, and, after a 'hat address from the Chieftain, in which be complimented them on their appearance and regularity, they. were dismissed for the present, and the competitions tom. • menced. 'fhe first *as that of the pipers. About a dozen of candi dates•appeared for the prizes held out to them. Then followed the athletic exercises of the putting stone—the sledge hammer. — turning the haiTriiincing of Scotch reels-41m sword dance—firing. at the target with the common and rile gun—and, last of all, a foot race. In all these exercises, much skill and great strength an* agi. My were displayed. In particular, the music and dancing was ex cellent, and the strength shewn in throwing the putting-stone and - the hammer, extraordinary. The firing at the target, too, which was placed at the distance of 11.:0 yards, was remarkably g ood; tot more than three of the many competitors, having missed it, though .all - shot off hand. During the interval between the dancing and 'shooting, laird and Lady Gwydyr entertained the Society in ia large tent erected for the occasion to which many of the strangers were kindly invited, and most ho spitably treated. While the firing was going on, it deserves to be noticed, that four of Lady Gwydyr's party appeared on the boards, fully attired in the Highland garb, and danced the reel of 1, Hulihan "in grand style. These various competitions continued till about six o'clock, when the SocietY, formed again,and returned to their Hall, in the same regular order, preceded by the successful pipers, where they dined, and spent the evening in the most social manner. This Society has excited much interest in the Highlands, and deservedly so. It gives the poorest of .the poor.sn.opportunity of meeting and passing a day With his Chieftain, and of recounting the adventures of olden times—the delight of a Highlander. As nearly as could beguessed, the number present would be about 7,000 or 8,000, and a more gay and respect. able assemblage of beauty and fashion is ieldlint to be seen. In short, it is impossible, in the limits of a paragraph, to give anything like an adequate description of it. BoXIIRS.--3RM BURNS AND JACK MARTIN. • The last depoiit of £lOO a-side in this matelr, was- made last night, afteee sporting dinner at the Rising Sun, in Windmill-street. The company was highly respectable, and the evening was spent in the greatest harmony. Both men are well. The odds in favour of Martin five so four. In all probabilky the fight will sake place at Doncaster. It is said that &nehmen, and Jones, the sailor boy, will fight In the same ring. Some betting took place ow the fight between 'hilt Hodson and Cannon—Ave to four on Josh. Reynolds has been.challenged by Duane, the Irish pugilist, but says they are irtaaparable friends, and cannot account fee it ; yet he will oblige him, if he is in earnest. Tom pechiticatly concludes a letter thus t—i' I am ready to fight any man of tny weight for 4150 or more a-side; and this challenge shall be open for a month. At the termination of that period I shall retire from the ring, for it is time to leave off trade when I cannot get any customers; but if I fail among my own weights, I am willing to have a turn with the big ones against time, and will fight any man in the world, of any weight, for the above stake."
