per of wine was, by his MAJESTY'S command, handed to him, and he pledged his loyal Radicals in returns ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE. This day the Km held a Court and Closet Levee, te receive upon the Throne some Ecclesiastical Ad dresses. His MAJESTY also gave audience to several Peers and Nay Counsellors, who presented Ad dresses. At ten minutes after two o'clock, the Kinn arrived at Holyrood House, from Dalkeith. His MAJESTY was accompanied by the Duke of DoRRET and Lord GRAVES. His MAJESTY wore a Field Mar ihal's uniform. His demeanour was firm and disni fi•!d; but he has not displayed that flow of spirits which characterised him during his visit to Dublin. The death ill the Marquis of LONDONDERRY seems to hive made deep impression upon the Royal mind. His NIA:TESTY has uniformly spoken of his late Mi nister, since the fatal act, with respect and kindness, and, it is said, alluded with despondency to the , broken state of the Administration under existing circ imstances. The rumours respecting the private hours of Royalty are prove' bially uncertain ; but it is said that the KING contemplates with emotion the probable successor to the late Marquis - of LONDON DERRY in the Cabinet. Mr. CANNING'S is not a very gracious name to mention in the Royal presence, and' the hanker of Lord GRENVILLE is not well calcti lated to court favour at the present crisis. Mr. PEEL and Lord MELVILLE are in daily communication with Ministers in London, and it is said that the Earl of LIVERPOOL will not repair to Edinburgh; that the KING hits (according to rumour) submitted the situa tion of the Government entirely to his Lordship, and intimated that lie will leave Scotland on Wednesday week, so that it is probable all the arrangements for the late Foreign Secretary's successor will be ready for his MAJESTY'S approbation a: the period of his 4 return to England. The arrangements at Holyrood House this day Were on the usuaLscale for Court ceremonies. The i Marquis of WINCHESTER had arrived early with seve nil of the Royal Equerries, to make the preliminary arrangements fer the Ktsc's reception : he was soon after followed by the Dukes of MoKrnosE, ARGYLL, and Nrixot., the Marquis of QUEENSBERRY, and the Earls of 'MORAY, WEMYSS, REISEBERRY, ROSSLYN, and Lords iftcam and AU/ENE, who had Addresses to present. His MAJESTY — t&CIfed on the Throne the Address of the Committee of 'the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, and 'thoie of the Universities. The KiN9 received the Address of the Scotch Episcopal Church and the others in the'elinset. Mr.FitANCIIJEFFERY first arrilved with an Address. He came as Lord Rector of the UdiverSity of Glas gow, and attended by several of die Professors.— Bishop CLEIG, accompanied by the ComMittee ti the Bishops and Clergy of the Episcopal Chintb, nest! arrived. Then came the Moderator, Clerg}iiltad Elders of the Church of Scotland. The Earl of .FIFE with Addresses from the Town and County of MA I and the Borough of Inverary; and the Hon. General DUFF with the Address from the Town of Elgin. The following Members of the Marischal College and Uiliversity of Aberdeen presented their Adds ess: Charlt. l'uri)es, Esq. M. P. Lord Rector; Hugh Lusnadon, Fag. A:locate Dean of Faculty; William Lawrence Brown, D. D. Dean of his Majesty's Chapel Royal, and of the Order of the Thistl:, Principal; the Lord Provosts( Aberdeen, Assessor to the Lo-d Rector; the Rev. Dr. Georges Forbes, Minister of Strathdon, Assessor to the Lord RectoV; Robert Hamilton, IL. D. Professor of Mathematics; James Kidd, D. D. Pro fessor of Ot lentil! languages; George Glennie, D. D. Professor of Mora! Philosophy and Logic ; James Davidson. M.D. Pro fessor of Natural and Civil History; John Cruickshank, A. M. Junior Professor of Mathematics. The Presidents of the several Courts of Session also atten led. The Earl of ROSSLYN presented a depu tation from the Highland Society. Lord MELVIL4g presented the Addiess from the University of St. Andiew. They were all most graciously received, had the honour of kissing hands, and v..ere •:-ettrrned suitable and flattering answers by his MAJesrl, upon the presentation of their several Addresses. Sir JOHN SINCLAIR presented a copy of his statistical works in splendid binding. To-morrow the Royal Drawing `room 'will take place; on Wednesday the Procession to the Castle; Thursday the Civic Banquet ; Friday the Peers Ball. On Sunday the KING will attend Divine Service at the Church of St. Giles, then a re view ; and the Ball of the Caledonian Hunt *ill close, it is said, the Royal ceremonies. The bustle here is mow entirely confined to people of rank, the public at la-ge appear to take little interest in Court festivities. ?`ROM THE EDINBURGH COURANT OF MONDAY. Saturday, his MaJzsry held his first Levee at the Palace of Holyrood, and it was most numerously attended, upwards of 1200 Noblemen and Gentle. men being present. The number of carriages was about 500, and extended from the Palace to Frede rick -street, by the new Calton Hill road and Regent Bridge. At eleven o'clock, detachments from the 13th,'6Gth, and 77th Regiments, marched from the Caitle;to the Palace-yard, where the band add the grenadier company of the 13th were stationed ; the mast of the troops proceeded to Salisbury Crags, where they remained during the Levee. The com pany began to set down at twelve, and continued to do so till two; and, notwithstanding the great num ber of carriages, very little confusion took place. A few minutes before two his MAJESTY arrived from Dalkeith , in a carriage and four, escorted by a party of Scots Greys. He entered by the private tioor on the south side of the Palace. His MAJESTY vat dressed in full Highland Costume, of royal Stuart tartans and looked uncommonly well; he appeared in ticeltent health and spirits. A great many Naval rritl Military Officers were present, and several No blemen and Gentlemen wore the Highland garb, among whcm we observed the Dukes of HAMILTON =rid ANGTLE, the Earl of BREADALBANE, and Lord' GLENfrgorsv. The Earl of Vita also soore a High land dress, which was much admired. The Marquis iIIuEENSBEIt HY was in a Lord Lieutenant's uniform; the Earl of M4NTo, in that of the Roxburgh Militia; I Sir WILLIAM Enntor, in the Roxburgh Yeomanry uniform; and GeneralDurv, in a General's dress. With regard to the number of spectators who were gratified with a sight of their SArereign on his land ring, and in the procession to lfolyrood Palace, the very circumstance of the ground being so eminently favourable to admit of their seeing him distinctly, ixeverited the possibility of estimating their number in a manner at all approaching to accuracy, but we may readily suppose that of our own population, In- Wing Lcith, not less than 90,000 saw their King ; that the rest of the country supplied at least .10,000; that the inhabitants of Glasgow, who from the first intimation of his - MaJnory's intention not to visit the west of Scotland, have displayed uncommon eager ness in coming to our city, it is generally admitted there were.not fewer than 50,000; these numbers put together made 150,000; and, supposing that the whole of Scotland besides did not send more than the metropolitan county and the two principal cities, there must thus have been 500,000 of his Majesty's Scottish subjects who saw him within the sport space of two hours, and all these inJependently of a great number from the northern counties of EnvlAnd. I ItROM THE CALEDONIAN MERCURY Or MONDAY. We understand the procession to the Castle is to take place on Thursday first; and in order to give time fot the removal of scaffolding, the city banquet is put off till Saturday. The Peers ball takes place on Friday, and that of the Caledonian Hunt on the Monday following. We omitted to state that the Sutherland High landers were, on the day of his MAJESTY'S entry, stationed at the Palace of Holyroed, as his MA .terzY's Highland Guard. They were commanded by Lord FRANCIS LEvEsotr GOWER, accompanied by his Esquires, Major MACKAY, as representing Lord REAY, DUNCAN MATTHIESON, Esq. Advocate, the Chief of that name holding under the SUTHERLAND family, and WM. MACKENZIE, Esq. Messrs. Sneer, GORDON, and BUCHANAN, walked as his Pages. The men were under the immediate command of the Chief of the Clan GOWN, another of the Clans holding un der Ban Afneir fhear Chataibk, and her ancestors. The Hon. WM. MAULE has sent an additional supply of bucks for his Maje s ty's table. The Levee on Saturday closed about a quarter past three, and his MAJESTY immediately held a Privy Council, which was composed of the following No blemen and Gentlemen : The Duke of Montrose, the Duke of Athol!, the Duke of Dorset, the Marquis of Conyngliatn, the Marquis of Winchester, the Earl of Lauderdale, Earl of Elgin, Earl Cathcar4 Lord Vis count Melville, Lord G. T. Ileresford, Lord Garydir, the Right lion. William Dundas, Sir John Sinclair, Bart.; Right Hon. Robert Peel, Secretary fur the Mottle D epartment; the Right Hon. William Adam, Lord Chief Commitsioner • Sir Samuel Shepherd, Lord Chief Baron; Ri g ht Horn Daviceßoyle, Lord Justice Cletk, &c. On this occasion the Lotto PaEstoEttr was sworn in a Member of the Privy Council. The Council sat more than half an hour. About a quarter past four his MAJESTY took his departure in a carriage and four for D.tlkeith, accompanied by the Duke of DORSET and the Marquis of CoNYNO HAM. On getting into his cat t iage his MAJESTY WAS surrounded by an immense concourse of people, who expressed their duty and affection by loud acclama tions, and by the waving of hats and handkerchiefs. His MAJESTY replied to these testimonies of loyalty by waving his hand and politely bowing to the people, who continued to crowd round the carriage, and to fun after it a considerable way through the park. The Earl of FIVE and Lord GWYDYR had the ho &or of dining with his MAJESTY yesterday, at Dal- Was House. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Some apprehensions are entertained for the safety of the Liverpool, as the ship Illinois,which sailed from New York the day after her, arrived at Liverpool on' the 12th inst. and the ships London and Panthea, that sailed from New York the 24th ult. Dine days after the Liverpool, have arrived, the former off Falmouth on the 17th inst. and the latter at Liverpool on Monday. The Liverpool was to replace the Albion, which was I unfortunately lost off Kinsale, and so many of the passengers and crew drowned, on the 22d April last. The annexed extract of a letter from New York notices the sailing of the Liverpool, with other particulars : " Naw Yogic, Jew 16.—The following are the names of the passengers in the new packet ship Liverpool, Captain Las, which left the Hook yesterday, at half-past twelve o'clock, for Liverpool, viz.

Although it is pretty certain that there will be no definitive alteration in the Ministry until the return of his MAJESTY from Scotland, yet numerous ru mours are in circulation. It is now said, and with some degree of confidence, that the Duke of WEL- Limnos will fill the office of Foreign Secretary, and that Mr. Patt. will take the management of thellouse of CoMmons. It is further reported, that the LORD CHANCELLOR has determined on tendering his resig nation to his MAJESTY, on his arrival in town: and 1 that Mr. VistreurrAar will be succeeded in the Chan cellorship of the Szchequer. by Mr. HUSK ISSON.—.. !In what manner the Master-General of the Ordnance , and Mr. VAIMItTART re to be disposed of, we' !know not. HORRIBLE MURDER. FROM THE sorfoN PAPERS, ARRIVED TIHIJ MORNIEG. TRINIDAD, JUNE 15. Yesterday morning one of the most diabolical acts of murder was perpetrated in this island. About seven o'clock, a private of the Sd West India Regiment, named Rata : went to the house of a free black woman, about 100 yards from the new bury ing-ground, at Lapeyrouze, with whom he had pre viously had some difference, and, without any provo cation on her part, stabbed her twice with a sharp knife. As the wretch inflicted the wounds ) the wo man ran out of the house, pursued by her assailant for a short distance, when he returned again, and found the daughter of the said woman, who that in stant entered It; he immediately assaulted h er w i t h the same knife, andwounded her severely in the arm: after a scuffle she succeedtd in making her escape. A coloured woman ) who endeavoured to prevent his attempt at murder, after the first alarm was given, received a wound from him, which prevented her giving any further assistance. After having com mitted this sanguinary outrage, the monster, with a savage ferocity, rushed into an inner room where two infants, one about four, and the other 16 months old, were asleep, seized both and cut their entrails out, immediately after which he seized a dog and kilted it. Armed with the bloodstained knife in one hand and a pistol in the other, the inhuman w r et c h p l ace d himself in the middle of the road, and threatened to be the death of any one that should attempt to ap proach to take him : however, one Serjeant Cox, of the same Regiment, who was passing by, and hearing histhreats, madea bold attempt upon the assassin, who discharged the pistol at him, but missing his mark, thrust his knife into the Serjeant's arm, which did not, however, discourage him, and he finally suc ceeded in taking him, having stunned him by a blow. At this time the Chief of the Police, who had re ceived information of what had occurred, arrived, and committed the murderer to jail, and had the in fants, who were not quite dead, carried to the Military Hospital. They were accompanied by their mother and sister. We tiara that both the infants are since dead. The funeral of the late Right Hon. Sir SAMUEL ADCHMUTY, Commander of his Majesty'! Lorces in Ireland, will take place on the 21st instant. His re mains will be removed on that day from the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham, to Christ Church Cathedral, to be deposited in the Royal Vault with military ho nours.—Freetnan's Journal, August O. Friday Sir JOHN TYLDIIN, of the 52d Regiment of Foot, the nephew of General Si r S AM U EL AUCHSIUTY, arrived in Dublin, from England. Thursday Lieutenant-General FTERS reached Dub lin, and on Friday formally took upon him the pro ten re command of the Army serving in Ireland. The Duke of BEDFORD arrived in Exeter on Mon day, and slept at the New London Inn. On Tues day morning his Grace left for Woburn Abbey.— This highly-respected Nobleman appeared to have recovered from his late severe illness. Earl FoRTESCOL in order to enable his Lincoln shire tenantry to meet the present times, bas returned to his Tattershall tenants 4.0 per cent. and to his Bil lingborough tenants 3.5 per cent. An Inquest was held on Tuesday evening, at the Duke's Head, Queen -street, Edgesvare-road, before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. Coroner for the county of Middlesex, on the body of a fine young woman, of the name of Mary Wall. The deceased had joined with a few friends in a dance, at the house of her pa rents, in Cato -street, on Monday evening, and feeling herself suddenly overcome by the heat, sat down in a chair and fainted. Her anxious friends, in the midst of their agitation, instead of removing her into the air, placed her sitting in a chair, in a small par lour, where, the company eagerly pressing close about her, she experienced a succession of violent fits for the space of about twenty minutes, when she expired.— Verdict—Died by the Visitation of GOD. Last night an Inquest was taken at St. Bartholo. mew's Hospital, before THOMAS SHELTON, Esq. Co roner for London and Southwark, on the body of Alexander M•Gillivray, a native of Dundee. It ap peared from the evidence that the deceased belonged to the Fox packet, of Aberdeen; that, after spending Friday (the 9th instant) with some friends, he was endeavouring to pass along a rope, from the Pier head, London-docks, to a lighter, from which he might have hailed the Fox, which was lying in the Hermitage-chain. Unfortunately his hands slipped, and he was precipitated from a height of twenty-four feet into the mud, receiving in his fall a severe blow on the superciliary ridge, over the left eye, which proved to be a fracture of the skull beyond the reach of surgical operation. Notwithstanding the wound, he succeeded in getting into the lighter, where belay till the morning, when a Custom-house boat took him out, and put him on board his own vessel, After having washed the wound and changed his clothes, he walked to Middle-row, Holbotn, in order to see tts cousin, will went with him to a neighbouring apothecary's, where he was advised to apply at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. The deceased accordingly did so, was admitted, and after receiving for twelve days all the assistance that his case required, he died on Tuesday morning, leaving a wife and two chil dren to lament his untimely fate. It appearing that he was sober at the time he received the injury, the Jury returned a verdict of " Died from the result of a wound accidentally received." NICETY or THE LAW.—A Licensed Victualler was on Tuesday called upon to prosecute a fellow at Marlborough -street Office, for having broken his windows, The publican gave evidence to prove that the act was wilful on the part of the defendant, and brought forward one witness to prove his case, -on which the Magistrate convicted the defendant in the' value of the injury sustained by the licensed victual ler, who naturally anticipated that the amount of the conviction would fall to his l o t ; b ut , on t h e contrary , he was informed, that the Act of Parliament was im perative. Ile had only brought forward one witness beside himself to prove the fact; in that case the penalty did not go to the pro s ecutor, but to the King. If he had brought forward two witnesses to prove it, then he, the prosecutor, would have been entitled to the penalty, to the amount of the injury done.—The poor publican thought this Act of Parliament as cu rious as it was hard, and regretted he had taken the trouble to prove his case under such circumstances.

The Fives Court was well filled yesterday. for the benefit of one of the best artists that , over stewed in the prise Randall won all his battles without suspicion of doing wrong. In him his backers placed reliance, and the admirers of genuine goodness flocked together to reward merit. The sets-to were of the best order. Neak and Adman turned to with much earnestness, and hit away to the satisfaction of the admirers of milling talent. Neale had the best of it. Belcher and Harry Harmer shewed some fine seience, and Harry, although a bunker, was always at the scratch in Ilse, and played the return game well. Spring and Bitten exercised their skilful measurement much to the satisfaction of the company. Randall and Harry Holt made the to-tap in a set-to complete in everything that constitutes first rate genius. The parries were of the finest order, and the return blows were as quick as the dart of a hawk upon a small bird. Randall modestly thanked the assemblage for their patronage, and assured them that he knew how to take care of the bias*. He next asked if any of Martin's friends were present to put down any money for him, as he was atTsioue to fight him it► three months, fur 500 sovereigns, and his money was ready. DRINKING. Hickman, the renowned gas-light man, got a severe purer cin his return from the fight of Tuesday. Some ohe had entrusted him with a gig, but, however sobers he can steer his fist or an anvil much better t han a prod, and making a mistake through being dicked in the nub with Butcher's grape, he ran on the wrong side of the post. He was senseless, from something like one of Neate's hits, for more than a quarter of an hour, and his cora panion is too ill to be removed from Hampton Court. ' A tremendous storm of rain took place last night, accompanied by ♦ivid flashes of lightning. It coin mencesl about twelve o'clock, and continued till nearly four. It was general in many parts of the country, particularly in the . county of Kent. Among the applicants for passages co France, at the Brighton Packet-office, on Friday evening, one Lady, on being told that the packet sailed on Satur day morning, asked, " At what o'clock it would be at the door !" Mr. Wens, the philanthropist, returned to Cowee for a few hours on Friday last. His arrival was no sooner known than the doors of the *Vine Inn ' at which he stopped, were thronged by children. Mr. WEBB shortly afterwards appeared at the window, and threw tickets for the play, which ht had Just pur ' chased, amongst the juvenile rabble. In the course of the afternoon he visited a fruiterer's shop, and dis tributed slices of melon well sugared to all the girls who chose to take them, but carefully excluded the boys from any participation in the treat. He is most singularly attired in an old dress -coat, with shabby pantaloons. When Mr. Wens was last at Cowes, he purchased a great number of tickets for the play_ box, pit, and gallery, and threw them out of the window amongst the crowd. This frolic was repeated three times—on the third, the number of tickets was sufficient to fill the house, but orders were issued that none but women and female children should be admitted, and Mr. Wean honoured the Theatre with his presence.—Southampton County Chroiude. We are desired to state, that the Capt. WiLLIAMt, who perished at sea in company with Mr. P. B. &MLLE?, was a son of Captain JOHN WILLIAMS, of the Hon. East India Company's Bengal Infantry. Capt WILLIAMS had lately exchanged from the Bth Light Dragoons to the 21st Fusileers.—l6id.
