Preparations are making at the Palace at Windsor for the reception of the KING. Since the commence ment of the fine weather, the Princess AuGun*, at tended by her Lady in Waiting, rides out daily in an open carriage, principally in the beautiful rides in the Great Pa! k. There are letters from her Majesty the QUEEN, dated the 29th March, from Rome, and there are subsequent letters of the sth instant in town, up to which time she had not made preparations to set out on her journey towards England. Her MAJESTY states, that she was waiting for the arrival of Sir WILLIAM GEI.L, who was detained at Naples by a fit of the gout. Yesterday morning Prince LEOPOLD visited the Princess SOPHIA. Ile afterwards paid his respects to the KING, at his Palace in Pall-mull; and in the evening his Royal Highness dined with the Duchess of KENT, at the King's Palace, Kensington.

When the examination of Adams was concluded, he underwent a severe cross examination by Mr. Ano LPJJ rs. The following witnesses were then called, all of whom had been examined on the preceding trial. Some of them, particularly Monument, were rigidly cross-examined by Mr. AnoLetrus; Eleanor Walker, of the house in Foy-court, Gray's lan-lane, where Inp.; lived; Mrs. Rogers, of the ram place; Joseph Hale (Brunt's apprentice); Thomas Smart', the watchman in bros venor-square ; Charles Bisset, another watchman ; Henry Gillen, who met two of the prisoners at the 'Rising Sun public-house, on the evening preceding their arrest; John Heetor Morrison, who sharpened a sword for the prisoner ; Edward Simpson, a corporal in the 2d (Coldstream) Guards; John Aldoas, a pawn broker, 'to prove that Davidson redenned a sword which he had pledged ; Thomas Hyden, to prove giving the note to the Earl of tiarrowhy ; John Baker, his Lordship's butler; John Monument, an approver; Thomas Monument; George Kay lock ; George Thomas Ituthven, James Ellice, William West. cott, LaLe Nixon, Joseph Champion, Jahn Wright, William &cobs, and William Lee-'all of the Bevesstreet Patrol; En sign ritzclarence; Serjeant Legge, of the piquet, who had cot been c.:3mineel before ; Hercules Taunton, and Dank' Bishop, both Bow-street Offiz,:rs. Mr. GURNEY now said he had more evidence to offer, as to arms that had been found. Chief-Justice DALLAS observed, it would be better to take it in the morning. Hit Lordship then said, as it was impossible to finish even the case for the Crown to-night, that the Court would adjourn over to to-morrow morning. At half-past eight o'clock their Lordships ad journed the Court. OLD BAILEY-THIS DAY. The Court met at the usual hour this morning, to proceed further in the trial of Janes Ings. The public anxiety respecting these trials is 'evidently much on the decline. On the Bench we only recog nized Sir JAMES SHAW, Sir WILLIAM LEIGHTON, and Sir WILLIAM DOMV ILLE. The Lady of the Chief Justice DALLAS, and his two daughters, are accommodated with seats in the box of Mr. Sheriff BOTHWELL. The galleries and the body of the Court are almost deserted. At a few minutes past nine o'clock, the Lord Chief Justice DALLAS, the Loup CHIEF BARON, and Mr. Justice RICHARDSON, took their seats on the Bench; but the CHIEF BARON left the Court almost immediately, to attend his duties in Westminster- Hall. He returned about twelve o'clock. Proclamation being made, and the names of the Jury called over, Ings and the other prisoners were brought into the Dock. They seemed to possess all their wonted composure, except Brunt, who. looks dejected. The ristols, blunderbusses, swords, pikes, hand grenades, and ammunition, seized in Cato-street at the houses of two of the prisoners, were brought, and excited much curiosity. Chief Justice DALLAS gave notice to the Jurors not on the present trial, that their services would not be wanted until Monday. The further examination of witnesses on the part of the Crown then commenced. _ _ _ Bishop, the officer, was examined by Mr. Grimm and cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS. George Ruthven, another Bow-street officer, who was examined by Mr. GURNEY, deposed to the ar• tides be had taken in Cato•street, and upon the prisoner. Ings here denied that some of the things said to h ave been found cm his person, had been so. John Morrison, shopman to Mr. Underwood, the cutler'; Taunton, the officer; and Serjeant Harrison of the Royal Artillery, were examined by Mr. Guit- NM The latter dissected a hand grenade, and es, bibited its contents to the Jury. All the prisoners, except Ings, bring removed from the dock, • Mr. Cuftwoon rose, and addressed the Jury at considerable length, on the law of High Treason and the nature of the evidence adduced on the part of the Crown, During the speech of Mr. CURWOOD, the Jury re quested that the gunpowder, cartridges, itc. might be removed from the Court, which was done imp mediatel y. Mr. Cwswoop concluded his address at a quarter before twelve o'clock, when two witnesses were called on the part of the prisoner, viz. Thomas Chambers, of No, 3, Heathcock-court, Strand, boot-maker, and who was one of the flag bearers at the Smithfield Meetings, was examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS, Rlid cross-examined by Mr. Gunicsv. Mary Barker, daughter of the prisoner Tidd, was examined by Mr. CURWOOD, and shortly cross-exa mined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL. Mr. ADOLPHUS rose, at a quarter past twelve o'clock, to address the Jury, on behalf of the priso ner. His object appeared to be, to impeach the cre dibility of some of the witnesses for the prosecution, and to convince the Jury that the conspiracy did not amount to High Tseason—ELeft speaking, 4; one.:l A Meeting of the Nobility, Gentry, and Clergy of the County. took place at Maidstone on Wednesday, when an address of Condolence and Congratulation was unitnimously agreed to.

Ti:. Civil Authorities have since been Actively engaged in seizing the leading Radicals, and have, in no in stance, encountered any resistance. Most of those who took up arms are either in custody, or have ab, sconded. Their number for Glasgow and the 'neigh bourhood, it will be recollected, was formerly corn, puled at 214 ; but subsequent mote parti, oiar ac counts give a still smaller amount :—Calton and Bridgeton, 95 ; Gorbels and Tradeston, ; Division at Donnymuir, 20 ;- making a total el 185 men, miserably equipped, and oniy armed with pikes, fowling-pieces, or pistols, In addition to these may be cminted the Szrathaven Radicals, who moved upon CatlikinAills, expecting to find there encamped Mar shal Macdonald, and the rest of Bonaparte's Officers, flow many of these besotted creatures were armed, we have not accurately heaid ; but they must have been very few, since the Special Constables alone dispersed them, and took ten of the most active pri soners. It is now ascertained' that the party, who appeared at ,Kirkintilloch, on the morning of the Oth inst. were part of those who had musteied the night before in Calton and Bridgeton, the rest having skulked away on finding their numbers so despicable, In corroboration of this computation, we may men tion, that the persons seized for taking up arms, coupled with those who have absconded from cur neighbourhood, fall short of two hundred. A num ber of the individuals now in the Jail and Bridewell, are imprisoned on other chieges. Whoever coolly considers the ccndi:icn of the country, and the character of the people, will easily see that no serious insurrection could occur in Scot hind. The population in the manufacturing places forms not a tithe of that of the country ; and of t! is tithe notone-hundredth part is addicted to Radical po litics. With the exception of Paisley and (ilas:;ow, the manufacturing towns are so inconsiderable in size, and so far asunder, es easily to be checked by the neighbouring landholders. Paisley has nlway been accounted a strong hold of Radicalism ; but it did not join in the late effort at rebellion ; and v. e hear that there will be no convictions there for Ilitth Treason. With regard to Glasgow and the suburbs, we have already seen that 185 men in arms appeated out of a population of 148,000, Surely there never was so ridiculous, desperate, insane a rebellion ! • lied the insurgents been fifty times mote numerous, the military would have finished them in the first rencontre ; and the state of the Lowlands would haver made war, in the manner of the Luddites, altogether impraCticahle, Though no general plan has yet been adopted for aiding the distressed workmen to go to Canada, we ere glad to hear that spontaneous emigration, to 4 considerable extent, is taking place. Eighty persons from Paisley have lately gone for Canada ; and 4 Pissenting Clergyman, with sixty of his flock, from the north of Ayrshire, are Oscan removing to the United States. The expense of transportation is so small that it is a pity any weil-meaning man should want the means to transport binned to where a day's wink will purchase an acre of Lund. A vessel at Saltcoats last season, took cut passengers for a guiLea a-head ; the passengers laying in their own food. PAISLE Y, APRIL 19. We are now in perfect quietness, and hopes are entertained that the public peace will not again be interrupted. Suspected characters still continue to be brought in almost daily for examination, after which they are mostly liberated. It is be:ieved, that those who were most active in the late disturbances have left the country, especially those who were con cerned in the attack on Mr. Robertson's, at Fosbar (where one cf their leaders was shot dead en the spot), having good reason to fear that otherwise they would soon have been brought to justice, as several informations have been lodged against offenders who have not yet been apprehended. LEEDS, APRIL 20. Six more unfortunate wretches, under a military escort, passed !trough this town yesterday evening, from Huddersfield, committed to York Castle on a charge of High Treason, arising out of the late dis turbances at that place and the neighbourhood.— Fourteen others are in custody, awaiting • further examination ; and warrants are out against a great number of others, who have fled fro :n the neigh bourhood, and for the present eluded detection,* There can be little doubt that a Special Commission will be held for the trial of the prisoners at York, a$ soon as the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and the other ,Judges are /*leased from the trials now going on a l the Old Bailey, Trade continues at an unexampled low ebb. The usual Spring orders have failed. The extensive Clod) Halls, both here and at Huddersfield, as well as iit the other towns of the Riding, are crowded• with sellers only. To sum up this gloomy picture (in cons tradiction to hat may be said in some of the London and other Papers), patirerism and mi:ery,, throughout this district, are oiost alarmingly on the increase* the Poors'-rates are eves y where advancing, and L 7 boor, particularly in every branch of the staple ma- nulactnre, is.daily becoming worse) lIECKMQNDIVIKE, APRIL P.O. • It is impossible to give you any idea of the pre, vailing distress at this and the surrounding town ships. lam sure I do not exaggerate, when I say that full one-half of the labouring poi7ulation ate compelled to subsist on parish relief ; and how long this may be continued to them, it. is impossible to say; for the heavy levies, added to :he want of a market for their goods, shave reduced most cf the small manufacturers to indigence, and nearly para-, lyzed the efforts of those in more affluent circus • stances. What we cl t n annfacture is chiefly coasigned to our warehouses—already overstocked to a most ruinous extent.
