• • he was incompetent to do jnstice to the subject; that it was at the same time ditlicult•for him to ex press his own sentiments, without, perhaps, utwing, expressions %s hick might not be felt by others in the same manner in . which they were impressed upon himself. In the first place he had to return thanks to the company in his own name, and in that of the Peers who were associated with him in the toast, for the honour they had done him. This it became his duty to do, although he knew there were whers much better able to perform it. If, however, there were (as he was aware) many better, there were none more :-.nxious than he was to express,with warmth and sin ccr-ity, the cordial feelings which the occasion called f'r, and to avow a steadfast readineis to maintain a loval duty to his Sovereignosithout any subserviency of political opinion on the part of himself. No man w:ts more ready than he was to come forward and ray homage to the honour and dignity of the Crown; but at the same time he was not to forget the just and jealous care which he was bonn I to observe to v-ards the rights and interests of the People, under t:iis free Constitution. He felt a pride in showing every honour and respect to whomsoever wore the Crown of these realms ; but in doing so, he repeated that he must not forget, in honouring the King, that. lee had also duties to put in a claim for, and main tain on the part of the People,which were interwoven with the best rights and securities of the Crown, and whicli, ill fact, formed the basis of the true honour and safeguard of the Constitutibnal glory of tats Sovereign. It was remarkable, not only that no applause fol lowed this loyal and constitutional speech of the Duke of Hamilton, bur that an expression bordering upon impatience was manifested during its delivery, though it did not break out into an actual demonstration of interruption. The irealths of the Duke of Argyll, and of the, Church of Scotland, successively followed. The LORD PROVOST next gave the health of " The Earl of Errol," who in acknowledging this favour, confined himself to a mere expression of his thanks. The Earl Of STRATHMORE then rose to propose a toast, but the noise in the room prevented his Lord ship from being distinctly heard. Sir WALTER SCOTT. however, who was next his Lordship, exclaimed, " Lord Strathmore gives The health" of lAcly Arbuthoott, and the flowers of Edin burgh.'" This toast was drank with great applause, and the music ztiuck up the layout ite air of "Here's to all good lasses." The LORD PROVOST then proposed the health of the Duke of Athol, who merely expressed his thanks. His Grace proposed the healths of the Lord Presi dent, the Lord Justice Clerk, and the Courts of Ju• dicature of Scotland, declariqg at the same time, that the country at large must feel the great benefits which were derived from them by the different classes of the people, who must feel that these Judges well deserved all the honours which could be bestowed upon them. Lord President HOPE, in returning thanks, said, that although the Judges ought of all things to re frain from seeking popular applause in the discharge Df their weighty and important duties; yet it could . ..cver fail to be gratifying to them to learn that their . - .;:cisions had obtained the applause of their country men. That their duties should be discharged in such a manner as to give satisfaction to all the classes of the community, ought always to be a great object with them ; but still it was always their bounden duty to face every danger in the strict and uncompro-' t; icing duty of administering justice—(Applause). The Loan PRovosT then proposed the healths of the distinguished strangers, who, from England and Ire land, had honoured the company with their presence. i The Earl of ERROL next rose, and proposed the ' : I— W alth of Sir alter Scott, Bart, who had taken so' active a part in their arrangements. Sir WALTER SCOTT, in returning thanks, said, that he really wanted power to express his feeling upon this occasion. He was even happy that his want of expression arose from the warmth of his feelings, which rendered him incompetent to utter what he should wish to say upon such an occasion. He could, however, say that he did not deserve this mark of their attention ; and if, as an amicus curice, he had' thrown out a few hints, and appeared in their ar rangements—for in no other capacity, having neither duty nor right, could he interfere—he had either at tracted (Jr deserved their notice, he had only to say, that he had had an easy task, for he had to commu nicate with Magistrates who were willing and easy to command, and who had to deal with a people who were most ready to obey—(Applause).—That he had li•mself any, even the slightest, share in these happy arrangements, would always be to him a matter of the utmost pride—(Applause). The Earl of STRATHMORE next gave " The health of his Grace the young Duke of Buccleugh ;" and Sir WALTER Scorr added, " The King's young Land lord." This toast was drank with applause, and Lord MoNraotr, his Grace's uncle, rose and re turned thanks, and said, that what they had already seen on the part of the Duke of Buccleugh, was only sr. earnest of what he was sure they would find here after--(Appkus4 The LORD PROVOST then gave " The health of the Duke of Montrose, and. speedy recovery from his present indisposition." The Earl Of L A UDERDALE next gave go The Uni versity of Edinburgh, and may it retai n its superio rity over the other Colleges in Europe. The following toasts were then given : " The buke of 'Wellington." 41 The gallant Companions in arms of the Duke of Wellingtons " " Lord Hopetoun," " Lord Lynedoch." The latter briefly returned thanks. " The Memory of Nelson, who seemed only to live till his gibrious mission was accomplished, and expired in the act of giving the exterminating blow to the naval powers of the com bined enemies of Britain." 1 " The gallant Companions of Nelson, and all the naval heroes , who. ave pursued the same glorions career." " The Marquis of Lothian." " The Lord President, Lord Justice Clerk, Lord Chief Com missioner, Btc." " Sir Thomas Bradford." " Admiral Sir John Beresford, and the north squairon." " The noble family of Boccie ugh, long so inti matrly acquainted with this city and county, and we will add in particular, his Ma jesty's young liuidloid." " The City of London, and Sir William Curtis." " The City of Dublin." ' The prosperity of England, Ireland, and the Land of Cakes," ri , )sed the toasts for the night, and the company hmke up, after enjoying to the fell extent the festivi ties of the night. The tesiquet paned off with great eclat, but the • AV! • persons who exe r t e d t h emse l ves to g,. ve a mtaute ;e -xeunt of it ow* nothing to the hospit tlity of the LORD Paovorc and his Bailie:. They we e crammed into a box among the singers, and there suffered to remain from five o'clock till eleven,without getting the slight est refreshment, except when an individual oceasion• ally grappled at a glass of wine for therti front one of the tables.' How different was the conduct of. the Authorities in Dublin on a similar occasion.' Bul this charge of inhospitality applies only to the Municipal Body, fur never was more marked attention shewn to any men than they have experienced from private individuals; and it were an injustice to the citizer.s of Edinburgh not to acknowledge, that in no part of the world will a stranger meet with, more courtesy and kindness than within its walls.- The musical arrangements were 'excellent, under the superintendance of Mr. MnottAttt, and the band played favourite airs during the evening. THE KIREING. Str/IDAT MORNING. As the KING'S remaining at Dalkeith during the preceding S un d a y h a d, as we remar k e d, gi ven offence to his Presbyterian Deans and Chaplains, and as this had, it may be, been heightened by the strong spice of the old Jacobite tenets and feelings which were in fused into the Episcopalian Address which had been presented on Monday, it had been arranged that his Maiesry should this day listen to the simple and primitive service of the Scottish Kirk. As there is a permanent Throne in the High Kirk for the accom modation of the KING'S Representative during the Sittings of the General Assembly, no new erection was requisite in that Kirk. The throng of people wishing for admission was, however, so great, that admission had to be granted by tickets, for which pretty high prices were offered. The KING came from Holyrood in a carriage and six, entered the Church at half after eleven, and seated himself on the Throne, surrounded by his Courtiers, Nobles, and Officers of State. When he entered, the people stood up, and continued so during the reading of the intro ' ductory Psalm. The Sermon was one of considerable power and eloquence, and the Very Rev.Dr.LamoNt, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Kirk, did not make a single allusion to his Royal hearer, The discourse was a fine specimen of Presbyterian sermo nizing. It abounded in lively description, in rheto rical beauties, was rich in the use of scriptural allu sions, and gave a comprehensive and masterly view of the text. In the last prayer, remarkable for pious feeling and originality of thought, the Reverend Doctor introduced his MAJESTY'S visit nearly in the following terms: " May the best blessings of Hzavem descend upon the Head of our Sovereign King George. Grain him a long, a happy, and a prosperous reign. May he be adorned with every christian virtue; may he be happy in this life, and happy in the life to come. May the paternal regard which his Majesty has shewn in visiting this part of his dominions, which has diffused such delight throughout the land, have a lasting inSuence on the heart artsl conduct of his Majesty's subjects." The service was not long, and immediately after it was over the KING set nut for Dalkeith. The con duct of the people, both outside and inside the church, was to the full as characteristic as that upon any of the preceding occasions. The assembled people in the street lifted..their hats and bowed respectfully as the KING passed along ; but neither from those there, nor from those within the church, was there any shout, or even the smallest noise. The solemn and dignified stillness which pervaded the whole brought hack to one's view the sabbaths that have long gone by; and if .the KING had reason to say, that on account of their week-day conduct they were all Ladies and Gen tlemen, he must have felt from their conduct on this Sabbath, that they are a nation of Christians. If in their other conduct they have put an end to the ca lumny of sedition, in this they have put an end to that of infidelity and profaneness. SUNDAY, FIVE o'CLoct.

HIS MAJESTY was delighted with the splendour of his Palace of Holyrood, and so satisfied were certain members of the Household with its accommoda tion, that they declared, had they been aware that it was in every way so suitable, it would not have been considered necessary to resort to the additional conve nience of the princely residence of Dalkeith house. A certain learned and very respectable member ofthe literati of Edinburgh was recognized at our late Levee under singular circumstances by his MAJESTY. The said Gentleman had on a late occasion to be presented at the Palace of St. James's, when, in the ardour of his feelings, he so far forgot etiquette, as to take his MA JEsTy by the hand, and give it the hearty shake of old acquaintance. Considering the quarter from whence the little Ana pea proceeded, it was under stood to have caused some amusement to his. MA JESTY. At Holyrood the learned Gentleman no doubt intended to do away former impressions by the cor rectness of his courtesy, and politely kissed the Royal band which was held out to him, and was about to proceed onwards, when his MAJESTY said, " Stop, friend, I always part with my old acquaintance as I meet them".-and, with peculiar grace and good hu mour, returned the compliments of the former meeting. Arteng the crowds which pressed out in boats to get a view of the Royal squadron, and if possible a peep at his Alt...ream was one boat with a number of well-dressed Ladies, regardless ef the rain, which fell heavily. The cabin window of the Royal yacht was open, and the party had a full view of the KING. They hailed his person with fervent cheers—and were moving away when Naval. Officer came alongside in a boat, politely intimating that he had been com manded by his M*JEsTY, to beg the Ladies' accept ance of a couple of bottles of Madeira to drink his MAJESTY'S health. The gift was highly prized—it was more than nectar, and the party moved away equally delighted with his MAJESTY'S condescension and tkeir own good fortune. A stout Highlander, in another boat, probably de sirous that his loyalty should be equally atti active, got in front of the window of the Royal cabin, and with no small force of lungs, lustily gave vent to his greet. ings. It was his MAJESTY'S hour of dining; the energy of our countryman• teemed to amuse him ; at length his MAJESTY ordered that he might have a bottle of Claret to tune his throat. The precious licoor was ac coi dingly handed nut, and instantly dedicated, in hearty libations, to the KING'S health and long life. .rAeoprrk iirtie: . 1 • • 1 1 After the discomfiture of the Rebets• - it thibattle of Culloden by the Royal Army, .under the cont mod of the Duke of CUMBERLAND, GoVernmebt; it is known, issued a Proclamation, in which 'they of% fered a reward of C. 30,000 for the apprehension of the PRETRNDER, dead or alive. fh opposition to this,' the folloiving curious paper was issued by the PRE !ENDER and his Council, which at this moment, and under the circumstances of his MAJittri's present! visit to Scotland, must be read with peculiar interest: , ' " Charles, Prince of Wales, Ste. Regent of the kingdoms of Scot land, England, France, and Ireland, and the dominions t►ere anto belonging. " Whereas, we have seen a certain scandalous and malicious paper, published in the style and form of a Proclamation, bear ing date the Ist inst. wherein, under pretence of bringing us to justice, like our Royal anctator King Charles I. of blessed me mory, there is a reward of 30,0001. stet ling promised to those who shall deliver us into the bands of our enemies, we could not but be moved with a just indignation at so insolent an attempt : and though from our nature and principles we abhor and detest a practice so unusual among Christian Prince., we cannot but, nut of a just regard. to the dignity of our Person, promise the like reward of X 30,000 sterling to him or those who shall seize or secure, till our further orders, the person of the Elector of Hanover, whether landed, or attempting to land in any part of his Majesty's dominions. Should any fatal accident happen from hence, let the blame lie entirely at the door of those who first set the infamous example.. " CHARLES, P. R. " Given at our Camp at Eifilockeill, Aug. 22, 1745.

One of the passengers who was on board the ship Liverpool, from New York bound to Liverpool (which was lost on the Banks of Newfoundland), and who was in one of the three boats which contained the crew and fifteen passengers, gives the fol lowing account :—They were six days and nights in the open boats, and 500 miles from shore, and were reduced to a biscuit and half a pint of water per day, not having been able to save anything from on board the Liverpool. At length they were picked up by-a fishing-boat, which they were on board of two days, and carried to Newfoundland.

Hudson, one of the best tried men in the kingdom, on the 10th of September, for a stake of 100 sovereigns. Barlow is a fine young fellow of three and twenty, and cast altogether in a fighting mould. The whole of the stake money was made good, and some bets were made at even, and 5 to 4 on Hudson. The long-pending match between Turner anJ the Country man, otherwise the Norfolk Champion, was mate up at the house of Belcher, the Castle, Holborn, last night, for XI SO, when the stakes were deposited, but the time and place where the battle is to be has not yet been appointed. The Club-room and Coffee-room were crowded by Gentlemen of the Fancy, and also a vast number of amateurs attended. Considerable sums are pending on the issue, but at present bets are in favour of the countryman. CANTERBURY RACES—Feiner, AUGUST 23. The County Plate of £5O. Four-mile heats. Sir J. C.

CORK ASSIZES, 'AUGUST 27.. The Trial of Walter Filen:luring, alias Oplain Rack, who had been transmitted from Limerick, Patrick C!alloghan,J An Sheehan, Valliant l'ierney, John Ready, William Coddle, and' Done! Rms. ttakan, was called on, for the abduction of Miss Goold. Mr. Jacrwan stated to the Court, that an affidavit was pre paring on the part of Walter Fitzmaurice ' to poopone his trial till the next Assizes, on account of the absence of Mr. 'Renner basset, the Magfavrate to whom he had surrendered. - The affidavit being produced and read, Mr. QOM, Counsel for the Crown, opposed the postponement of the trial; and The COURT, under all the circumstances of the case, did not conceive there were sufficient grounds laid to warrant it in post poning the trial. -The trial must go on. Mr. JACKSON..—" Then, my Lord, if such be your Lordshi?'s determination, I ant instructed to plead guilty on the part of Walter leltzmatirice, who throws himself on the clemency of the Government." Mr. Qcor.- 0 My Lord, before that plea is recorded, we, for the Crown, wish to have it publicly and distinctly known, that it is put in without oar knowledge and without any understand ing with us on the subject; and we now caution the prisoner against the consequences'of what he offers through his Counsel." Mr. Jackson admitted that it was without the knowledge of the Counsel of the Crown, but said the prisoner was decided. COURT." If the prisoner pleads Guilty, I can only look to the indictment against him, and his plea. I cannot interfere, or take into consideration anything that has happened heretofore; and am bound to pronounce judgment, and on that judgment sen tence of execution. Any application to me after that would be perfectly useless. Let these things, therefore, be communicated to the prisoner before the plea is fully recorded." The prisoner was formally made acquainted with what hzd been stated by his Lordship, hut persevered in pleading Goi:ti. The Clerk of the Crown said—" Walter Fitzmaurice, are pa guilty or not?" Piisoner—" Guilty, my Lord. I throw myself on your Lord ship's mercy." COURT.--•" Not on mine. I have no power. I can only look at what passes in Court, and act accordingly." Prisoner.—" My Lor d, you know I gave myself up, and it is a hard case when I surrendered myself to Government." COURT.-•-•" I know nothing of it, prisoner." Ills Lordship then observed to the prisoner's Counsel, that the man ought not to place any dependence on a remission of pu aistunens. The persons concerned for the Crown had thought he should be brought to trial, and that there was nothing in his case that should arrest the usual course of justice. fie wished the prisoner to be warned of his plea, as he still might be al lowed to withdrzw it. Mr. JACKSON." My Lord, I have put the matter in every way to the prisoner, who perseveres in his determination." The Couftr.—" The situation of the prisoner, and the plea he has put in, are so momentous, that I find I can, without preju dice to the Public or the State, postpone this trial till to-morrow morning, which will afford him time to consider the subject. SATURDAY. This morning Iralieriritz;naurice;;; put to the bar, and still persisting in his plea of Guilty, the trial was proceeded in. Mr. Qum stated the case for the Jury. Honors Goold was then swurn.—She identified Fitzmaurice, and deposed to his share in her abduction. When she cried, he. swore that unless she held her tongue, he would have her life. The evidence of this interesting young Lady did not materially differ from that given on a former trial at Limerick. Several other witnesses were examined, after which the Learned Judge charged the Jury, who returned a verdict of GuiPy against Fitzmaurice and Costello, who immediately re caved sentence of death ; but no day was fixed for their execution. Bow-mat-L.-Yesterday John Gillespie. second mate of the merchant schooner Ate, now lying in the London-docks, accom panied by James Nowlan, the cook, and two others of the crew, belonging to the same vessel, appeared before Mr. llau.s, the Sitting Magistrate, and requested him to assist them in (Altair ing redress from their Captain, for very gross and unwarrantable outrages committed upon them while on the coast of Africa.— The complainants then entered into a narrative of alleged acts of unprovoked cruelty committed on them, by command of their Captain, named Webb, soon after their arrival on the coast of Africa, on a voyage of spreulatiox, which we forbear giving, as being in the present stage but an ex-parte statement. Mr. HALLS said their story was a very extraordinary one, and expressed some doubts about the troth of it. The complainants declared their readiness to swear to all they had stated, and one of their shipmates, who had not bees a suf ferer, stepped forward and assured the Magistrate it was per fectly true. lIALLs asked what speculation the vessel went upon, as he strongly suspected that she was intended for the slave trade. The men said they could not tell exactly what was intended to be done, but there were no irons on board, nor any other ap pearanceof preparations for a human cargo. The Magistrate said he was glad to hear - them say so, for he assured them, if it had been as he suspected, they would have had no redress from him. A complaint of crud treatment would come with a very ill grace indeed from men engaged its that diabolical traffic. As it was, however, they might have their warrant. A warrant was accordingly made out against the Captain for an assault. Woasuir-sraiter.—On the 19th instant, the house of W. Allen, Esq. in Church-street, Stoke Newington, was entered in the night, by forcing the iron grating of the coal-cellar. Abort eighteen bottles of wine, part of a roasted leg of lamb, come cheese, and a number of other articles were stolen. Suspicion fell on T. Jr . ffs, who had lived in the neighbourhood with his family many years, and on searching his house, the piece of lamb, three wine -bottles, and a piece of cheese, wer e f oun d.— The servant identified - the bottles and cheese.—The prisoner made no defence, and was committed. QIIFEN-SQl!Aßß.—Thirteen men and six women, found by u party of the Bow-street patrol, sleeping on the benches in St. James's Park, were brought before the Ilagistrates for examina tion. The men described themselves as mechanics out of work, and, being without money, they took shelter in the Park, consi dering there could be no harm in sleeping on the benches for that night. The Magistrate told them that sleeping in the forth air brought them under the Vagrant Act, and such as could not give a satisfactory account of themselves must be sent to the llouse of Correction forseven di.ys.—Five of the vronien were next put to the bar. They said they were servants out of place, and for want of money to procure lodgings, were obliged to sleep in the Park. They were likewise committed.
