with S . RIC/TAINT; KEATS, the Gtirettopi, who had a party to meet his Lordship, consisitti of the Of ficers 42: - the ROYAL Gamma Yacht, find those of the Hospital. The Lords of the Admiralty are in attendance. A party of the 72d Regiment arrived this morning from Woolwich, for the purpose of keeping the walk, ir. front of the Hospital clear, while his MAJESTY embarks ; and three hundred Marines have the duty cf keeping the gates of the Hospital. The Pensioners, those veterans who have fought with a Howit, a DUNCAN, a NELSON, and a VINCENT, clad in their best uniforms, and marked with the scars of many a glorious fight, will be drawn up, and line the principal avenue within the gates, through which his MAJESTY will pass. The School of the Establish- Xnent, consisting of upwards of 1000 children, will also form another line within the gates. The utmost care is taken to prevent all irregularity and confusion, and with that view it is arranged that no person shall be admitted into the limits of the Hospital without a ticket from the governor, or the Board of Admiralty. Conshierable alterations have been made as to the time of his MAJESTY'S departure; and such was the secrecy observed (by his MAJESTYS desire) on the part of those who superintended the preparations for his NIAJESTYS excursion, that it was not until ten o'clock yesterday morning, some Peers and others, who accompany his MAJESTY officially, were made acquainted with the time and place, and manner of embarkation. It was intended that his MAJESTY should embark at nine o'clock this morning; but in consequence of a representation from Sir CHARLES GREY, the em -I).,'';ation will not take place until this afternoon, as ac state of the tide was such as to endanger the rr.;yal yacht's being stranded off Woolwich, should it have sailed this morning. EITP ACT OF A LETTER FROM EDINBURGH, AUGUST 6. This town is crowded to excess, and each succeed ing moment brings with it a fresh influx of visitors. The principle of nationality, always strong in the breasts of Scotchmen, was never more strikingly dis played than on the present occasion. They all ap pear anxious to enhance the character of their country, by rendering his MAJESTY'S reception worthy the dis tinction in which they have long been held as a People sincerely devoted to their SOVEREIGN. In the prin cipal streets lodgings cannot he procured for any money, and in the less fashionable quarters they bear a price enormously disproportioned to the usual rate. —Great diversity of opinion exists respecting the ar rangements to be made for his MAJESTY'S landing, and some letters have been addressed to the LORD PROVOST, commenting on the localities of Leith har bour. I have learned that Lord MELVILLE yesterday }ad a conference with the Port-Admiral on the sub . Jett, and it is understood that the Custom-House at Leith was the situation axed upon, should circum• stances permit. A plan was this morning suggested to the Magistrates, which, if carried into execution, would have a very picturesque effect. It is, that 200 boats should be linked together by a chain-cable from the slime to the Royal yacht, upon which a boarded platform, covered with rich carpet, should be raised—a contrivance which, in the opinion of the Gentleman who proposes it,would enable his MAJESTY to land not only without inconvenience, but with great case, in the presence of the vast concourse assembled to greet his arrival. In the evening there will be grand illuminations in all parts of the town, and I have already seen some of the devices, which are very appropriate. Many of the shops exhibit emblems for such as wish to testify their loyal attachment in more prominent display. Cockades representing St. Andrew and the Thistle are sold everywhere, and buttons are seen in the windows with the words " Royal Visit" inscribed on them, and having in the centre the letters G.R. surmounted by the imperial crown. In short, nothing is omitted to give all pos sible eclat to the Royal visit, and everything is con ducted in a manner that reflects equal credit on the taste and good sense of the People. The Nobility in the North and West of Scotland are, I am told, ex ceedingly disappointed at the determination which his MAJESTY has formed of not extending his tour to those quarters. Some Noblemen in the North of England will be equally so; for it is novt generally considered that his MAJESTY does not mean to return by land. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND has made splendid preparations for his MAJESTY'S reception, and sir have also the Earl of DARLINGTON and Lord RAVENRWORTH. The latter Nobleman has brought down from London four waggon-loads of costly fur niture, purchased expressly for the occasion. The Duke of PORTLAND has left his seat, Welbeck, Notts, for Scotland. Sir JOHN SUELLEN', Bart. left the Waterloo Hotel, Jermyn-street, yesterday, for Scotland. It is said that Mr. CHARLES REMBLE has gone to Edinburgh, for the purpose of witnessing his MA JESTY sentry into that City, in order to give a splendid representation of it at Covent-Garden Theatre, in the ensuing season. Sir ALEXANDER and Lady BANNERMAN' arrived yesterday at Blake's Hotel, from Scotland. Su popular has the tartan become in Edinburgh, on the occasion of his Islattstfs visit, that during the last week great numbers of the merchants of that city Lave beet: to Glasgow, and after clearing the whole sale warehouses, visited even the retailers : remnants of silk tartan, however small, were bought up with the greatest avidity. During the prorogation of Parliament, the House PE Lox& is to undergo many alterations. Mr. SoANz and the Surveyor-General have received a warrant, authorising them to commence the improvements. — A new Royal entrance is to be made, and the Great Chamberlain's rooms are to be fitted up in a superb style for the accommodation of his MAJESTY, when ever he goes to the House of Lords. Hitherto the Ki No has had no other apartment in which to be ac cvnimudated, but the Robing-room. TIIE 'KING'S LANDING.

The Baltimoi e Paper states that the squadron formerly under Commodore Awn., to gether with the inhabitants of Old Providence, have sought and obtained the protection of the Colombian Government. This squadron, consisting of nine sail, was to proceed to Laguira, and would be a reinforce ment to the squadron blockading Porto Cabello.— The death of MORALES is confirmed. Thursday a Special Board of the Lords of the Trea sury was held, when the Earl of LIVERPOOL presided. Yesterday a Board of the Lords of the Treasury assembled at the Treasury Chambers, at which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCH EWER, the Hon. BERKELEY PAGET, and Lord GRA NVILLE SOM ERECT were present. Lords JOHN and HENRY BENTINCK left town yes terday for their father's (the Duke of PORTLAND) seat, Welbeck, Notts. The Earl and Countess of CHARLRMONT and the Ladies CA ULFIELD left the Pulteney Hotel yesterday for Cheltenham, from whence, after a short stay, they proceed to their seat in Ireland. Recent advices from Mexico, dated the latter end of June, mention, that two battalions of Trigarantes brought about the revolution in favour of trumps, in consequence of which he was named Emperor of Mexico, by a plurality of votes in the Congress, al though it was universally believed that many Depu ties were overawed, and voted both against their wishes and their consciences. Many of the enlightened and independent men had left the capital from mo tives of disapprobation. It was indeed thought that so extraordinai y and abrupt a measure would not be agreeable to the Provinces, that anarchy might be the result ; and Iztraarax himself began to feel the precarious situation in which he was placed, in con sequence of which he issued a Proclamation, dated May Is, " in the character of a citizen desirous of seeing order and tranquillity preserved." He says, " The army and the people of this capital have just adopted a measure which it behoves the rest of the nation to approve or reject." He does not, however, presume to dictate what line of conduct they should pursue. An Inquest was held on Thursday, the Ist inst. by Mr. BUNYAN, Coroner, on the body of Anne Craven, a fine child, eight years old, daughter of a labourer, at Roxholme, near Leasingham. On the Monday preceding she was left for a few minutes in the house by her mother, who went to drive some pigs out of the garden, and for precaution took a younger child with her. The deceased, in their absence, went to stir the- fire, in doing which a piece of burning wood fell on her clothes and set them in flames. She ran out of the house and attempted to extinguish them in some water in the yard, but there was not suffi• cient for the purpose, and she died from the burning two days afterwards. SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE FAMILY OF POOR EMERY. —A General Meeting of the Committee for conduct ing this praiseworthy Subscription took place yester day, when Mr. Roams took occasion to compliment, in suitable terms, the extraordinary liberality of the Proprietors of Covent Garden Theatie which was not generally known, that poor EMERY stood in debted for a deficiency arising from his last Benefit. of 421 15s. 6d. this the Proprietors had generously conceded ; but their philanthropy did not stop here, the incidental expenses of the night were very great, for at the time a Benefit was proposed the interior of the Theatre was in a complete state of undress; not a chandelier or a scene, or a box fit for the recep tion of an audience—all this was completed in the short space of five days. The expense of which, in cluding the lighting, which was very considerable, he had to state that the Proprietors have agreed to pay the whole of this out of their own pockets ; so that it might be truly said (and probably it will be the first instance of the same kind upon record), tha this Benefit was literally a gratuitous one. Even the scene-shifters and door-keepers followed in the race of liberality, volunteering their useful services. Mr. ROBINS also stated, that he had received a very kind letter from his friend Mr. SHAKESPEAR REED, an ex. tract from which might be useful with a view to call the attention of the Profession to an observation that he thought seriously entitled to consideration : You will not deem me presumptoous - in submitting to you, that if Heroes of the Sock and Buskin would spare only one twentieth part of their salaries, and apply it to an assurance on their lives, it would console them during life with the pleasing recollection, that when it pleased the GRZAT Mimosa of us all to call them front this Stage to that of Eternity, they bad se cured the means of comfort to their surviving families. —Mr. REED inclosed a draft for £lO.—Mr. ROBINS said, he could not touch npon any matter connected with the Suboiption, but with feelings of exultation; and it was not generally known how magnanimously the London Press had behaved on this occasion by inserting the Advertisements for the Duty only; and no doubt existed, that the Country Papers would adopt the same kind feeling.—Earl FITZWILLIAM has ge nerously contributed R2O; another anonymous Sub scription, under the assumed title of 66 A Friend to the Distressed," £4o,.—From MICHAEL KELLY, two guineas; JOHN BELLAMY, EA. of the House of Com mons, gave Mr. ROBINS £5 for one seat in his box ; the Hon. BERKELEY CRAVEN, ES, ece. The Commit tee will continue their labours throughout the whole o f the present month. - • • 4ISTURBANCES IN IRRLAND. , The following is copied ft ( -, m the Cork Advertiser of August 6, received this n.oroing : a We have received comloinications which unequi vocally shew that the insurrectionary spirit,which from the still armed state of the peasantry might be ap prehended at a later period of the season, has already -ommenced its operations. The following is a copy :, " Bandon, Ai S. august " Nothing of any consequence ha s lately occur red here worth mentioning till yesterday, when three Notices were found posted, signed General Rork, on the Chapels of Kilbregan. Ferran Ivan, and Newcestown, requiring that no more tithes or taxes be paid, under pain of punishment usually inflicted by the gallant Gene ral. Kilbregan is quite adjacent to Bandon, Farran Ivane about three miles, and Newcestown about five and a half. " I have further tosinform you that the windows of Desert Church were broken by some ruffians on Saturday night. I assure you that those persons here who are best acquainted with the state of public feeling, are entirely of opinion that the ' Hereditary Bondsmen' are fully intent on striking another • blow' this winter." His Excellency the Marquis WELLESLEY has beets graciously pleased to extend mercy to seven of the ten unhappy men now under sentence of death at Carlow. The remaining three are left for execution.

EXECUTIONL—Monday, John Matthews, found guilty at the Ox ford Assizes of robbing and ill-using Joseph Thomas, near Net tlebed, was executed at the County Jail. He made a full con fession of his guilt, and evinced the most sincere repentance. Yesterday morning, Alemnder John Spence, who was capitally convicted at the last Dover Sessions under Lord Ellenhorough's Act, underwent the awful sentence of the law at Dover. On leaving .the Jail, he ascended the ladder with a firm step, and met his fate with a fortitude which astonished every beholder. Ilia youth (he being only twenty-two years of age) gave rise to strong petitions in his favour; and his friends and acqtrdintances cherished the hope of a reprieve till the very last moment. MARLIOROUGH-STREET,—•The two watchmen, Clegg and Clarke, who gave evidence against the Bishop of Clogher, at tended at this Office yesterday morning, when one of them was immediately dispatched to Ireland, in order to go through some usual form in the Ecclesiastical Court, prior to the other wit nesses being sent over to give their evidence. The whole of them will shortly be forwarded to that country, when the pro ceedings will take place in that Court. UNION-HALL—TUE MINIATUKL--•The two Ladies who dis puted this prize the other day, attended yesterday to have it de. cided. It was agreed upon by both that the miniature should be trampled to pieces and burnt, a piece of justice which was ably performed by the two rivals, who, before they committed it to the flames, abused the features of the gallant so that his moriler could not have traced a resemblance. Bow-rriturr.—Love Ma rreas.—A fine looking woman, appa rently about 35, named Boughton, was brought before Mr. Mao- SHULL on Wednesday evening, in custody of Bond, charged with making a riot and disturbance at the house of the Rev. Mr. Co- - ling, in Somerset -street, Portman-square. Mrs. Cowling had applied to the Magistrate in the morning for his assistance, and she then stated that the defendant was a natural daughter of the late Sir R. Boughton, and some years ago was under the protec tion of a Noble Earl, and subsequently of an Officer in the Army, of considerable Notoriety in the fashionable world. From the latter she was taken into keeping by a young gentleman named Walker,with whom she remained and was treated with extreme liberality, until about two years ago, when he became the suitor of Miss Cowling, daughter to the applicant. He was under a . matrimonial engagement with her, and he endeavoured to shake ' off the connexion with the defendant, still, however, allowing her a liberal stipend for her maintenance and that of a child, which she had while living with him. Having heard of the intended marriage of Mr. Walker, she was apprehensive of her allowance being discontinued, and it having by accident been withheld a week or two, she was constantly assailing him in the street. She came every day before their residence in Somerset-street, placed herself in front of the house, and danced the child before the win dow, with such extravagant gestures as to attract a crowd about the door. The attention of the neighbours had also been drawn to the house, and the matter excited so much observation as ren dered their residence extremely unpleasant to the family. Upon this representation, Mr. bliosuust. ordered Bond to go. to the house, and if Miss Boughton made her appearance, and conducted herself in the manner described, to take her into cus tody. The officer had been but a short time there when she pre sented herself with her child at the door, and in spite of his re ' monstrances and advice to her to go away, she behaved with much violence, and Bond was obliged to take her away by force. The defendant, in answer to the charge, when before the Ma.. gistrate, pleaded the discontinuance of her weekly stipend as an excuse for her conduct, and said that Mr. Walker was bound as a man of honour to allow a proper maintenance for his child. Mr. Walker said he was not at all unwilling to contribute to the support of the child, but he wished her to swear it to him in the regular way, and he would then cheerfully pay whatever suns was ordered. _ _ Miss Boughton declared firmly she would do no such thing. Mr. MoisouLt. said he thought Mr. Walker bound in honoim to allow sufficient for the support of the child without the adop tion of any compulsory measures. Miss Boughton said her ground for objecting to swear the child was, that she should then be obliged to accept of parish allow ance, and Mr. Walker was well able to provide for it of his own free-will, and upon a much handsomer scale. She would be per fectly satisfied with an allowance of 10s. per week. Mr. MINSHULL thought this demand was not unreasonable. Mr. Walker said he was willing to pay that suns. Mr. blissitut.t. said he supposed this was all that the defendant desired, and asked her if he could rely upon her promise not again to molest Mr. Walker, or the very respectable family of Mr. Cowling ?—Miss Boughton said, she would certainly not go near him again; and upon her giving her own recognizance in 201. to keep the peace, she was discharged. A young Gentleman Irons the country, who got himself into St. Clement's watch-house, by being too gallant to an oyster woman, was brought before the Magistrate. Mrs. Margar. t Grumpage, the oyster-woman in que-tion, deposed, that the Gentleman came to her stall, in the neighbusshood of Clare market, and ate three-pennyworth of best oysters, taking a little vinegar and pepper with them. That he afterwards gave her a shilling in payment, and whilst she was " rummaging" in her pocket for change, he chucked her under the chin. That she, nut being accustomed to such familiarities, and being withal a mar ried woman, told bins to keep his hands to himself; adding, that she never gave liberties, and no man should take any ; and that she had no sooner said this, than the Gentleman was ungentle. manly enough to give her a sad thump on the jaw, the marks whereof were emery wlit=able to be seen by anybody, whereupon she skreech'd for the watch, and he wastaken to the watch-house. Mrs. Grumpage concluded by saying she did not wish to hurt the Gentleman, as he had satigied her for the thump, and the watchman for his tillable, and seemed very sorry for his misbe haviour.—Nevertlitless, the Magistrate called upon the Gentle man for his defence; and be made a very long one. lie had no idea, he said, of meeting with such a Lucretia in the person of a London uyster-wetwa. The very utmost of his offending was chucking her under the chin, as delicately as possible, and telling her she was too pretty for her profession ; but his compliment was returned with a volley of the most outrageous abuse, and in an instant he . was enveloped by whole shoals of oyster-women and watchmen, who raised such a storm about his ears, that be was fain to take to his heels. But in this be was prevented, and a muffle ensued, which ended in his being taken to the wate,h house, amidst the revilings of the snob ; though he declared upon his honour that be never inflicted the thump complained of. Th . Magistrate dismissed the matter, with an injunction to the Gen. denim never to chuck an oyster-woman under the chin again. ~I ~~~ e A
