TILE KING'S VISIT TO ECOTL.4ND. His Mansrf takes his departure for Scotland on Fiiday ; he will embark at Greenwich, where the ilny 11 Yacht, and all those vessels intended to con vey the Royal Suite, are now assembled. The KING, Fke the late Emperor NAPOLEON, is fond of fixing upon certain remaikable days on which to do certain t hings, and with that view is most anxious to arrive in Edinburgh to celebrate his birth-day on the I.2th of August. MAJEsTY's stay in Scotland will not exceed tcn days, for he has resolved to return by sea on the YOth inst. The delicate state of his health would scillingly have induced the KING to give up the journey until next year, had not preparations to re ceive him gone so far. His MAJESTY, we arc sorry to say, is just now visited with slight symptoms of the gout, which is flying abouit his person ; the pre- sent seat of it is in one of the elbows. His MAJESTY has determined not to pay any private visits, so that there will be no distinction of party or predilections manifested during his stay in Edinburgh. Jrnmediately on his MAJESTY'S return it is bis intention to reside for the remainder of the year at Brighton. GEORGE THE FOURTH. AND A' THAT. A SONG.—Tans, Think eer the lacy 14. BY JOIIN MAYNE. Y . :1; GE*ROZ the Fourth is coming down To see his friends in Fmbro-town; To hold his court, and wear the crown 0' Scotland's Kings, and a' that: And a' the chieftains o' the North, Lords, !Eddies, lairds, and men of worth, Are docking to the Firth o Forth, To welcome him, and a' that! Wore his barge can reach the land. Ilehald, in millions on the strand, A loyal People, band in hand, In tears of joy, and a' that! For though our Urge has Kingdoms throe, Aad crony an Island in the sea, Auld Scotland strives to bear the gree For loyalty, and a' that 'Den ccck Tour bonnets, Wm blade; A td, lore:: and !eddies, man and maid, Let rites and honours due be paid TJ Royalty, and a' that. Though Kings and Queens of high renown flourish'd aft in Einbro.town, A better never wore the crown Than EORGE the Fourth, for a that! But, oh ! while guns and cannons roar, Ard bameks wave frae shore to shore, The heart is wounded to the core That we maun part, for a' that Yet fill your goblets till they foam ; And whcri the Kimis dispos'd to roam, He'll look on Scotland as his home, dild come again, and a' that!

STEPNEY, &c. 1: e zeturtl of the Marquisof HASTINGS from India is at Lngth finally arranged, and the Right 11.nour ai,le GEORGE CANNING, as Governor General, takes his departure from England on the 10tb.ef October. Mr. and Nlis. MITCHELL had a grand dinner party on at their house in Charles -street, Berke leps(inare. SINCLAIR, formerly of Covent-Garden Theatre, is now at Florence, completing an engagement as first tenor. lie has received some very flattering honours in Italy. At the Opera at Pisa, during the Carnival,' he sin before the GRAND DUKE, who was plea•ed to compliment him highly ; and the Cassino, or Academy of Musk, at Bologna, the first in Italy, lave elected Mr. Staci.ma as Honorary Member-of their Society. When yesterday we animadverted in somewhat ttron l ; terms on the conduct of the polished Parisian auilience towards our English Actors, we were not aware of the extent to which their brutality had been carried. A French Paper, the Journal des Debats, of .Sunday, notices the affair at some length. After detail ing the disgusting scenes which took place " during the horrible pantoniiine %%hid) terminated the representa tion clone of the chifs dantvre of the great Shakspeare," the Editor proceeds to state, "that the little Piece, imi tated from one of the most amusing productions of the FEIDEAD, might perhaps have inspired more fa vourable sentiments in the audience, had the per formance of it been committed to tolerable actors.— The actors aad actresses, however," he adds, " were so tidiculous, that the only sentiment which their 'Gas were calculated to excite, was that of corn rauk-n• Compassion, however, was not the feeling which appeared to preva il ; f or one o f t h e most - gal- Lit of the oppositionists signalized his courage by (inclining one of the largest copper coins against the head of the actress who acted the part of the waiting maid. The aim of the ruffian was but too wea di rected, for it struck the unfortunate woman over the eye, and she fell senseless into the arms of one of the performers. Thus ended (says the Journalist) This gallant and magnanimous contest. This signal triumph was obtained on the first night. It was Got till the attempt at a second representation that the chivalrous gallantry of the French nation, and the superiority of CORNEI LLE tO SHAESPEARE were fully established, by a still more successful discharge of missiles against the devoted actresses." . THE ARMY. The Ant division of the 7th Dragoon; arrived in Glasgow, on Saturday ,to relieve the Scots Greys, the last division of whom set off the same morning for Edinburgh. I Wednesday the Ist Battalion of Grenadier Guards, 750 strong, under the command of Colonel Warr, arrived at Liverpool from London.

IRELAND. EARL FITZWILLIAII AND MISR RENTALS. The conduct of the Wicklow tenantry of Earl FITZWILLIALI (says a Dublin Journal) demands his most serious attention. Distress and dissatisfaction are very prevalent throughout his vast property ; and thi, cannot apl.ear extraordinary when se inform the Pub lic that the war rents are still demanded and enforced everywhere. It must be admitted that, during the war, these rents were extremely moderate, and that, while the time. held up, the FITZWILLIAM tenantry were among the happiest in Ireland. But it is a fact too notorious to require proof or illustration, that a rent which allowed a man to live luxuriously six or seven years ago, scarcely leaves him a shred or a morsel in these times. And we need not very ear nestly labour the case of a people of whom this one fact is to be told, that, with the markets and prices of 1822, they have to pay the rents of 1815. The income of the 56.000 Fitzwilliam acres is said to be, even in these times, £36,000 a-year. Thus far the Dublin Paper.—We believe, however, that is justice to the Noble Earl, who is one of the best landlords in the United Kingdom, it ought to be stated that his rents were never raised to the war pi ice, and that the rental of 1815 was, in fact, the rental of 1793—a f.eriod to which agriculturists wish to return. EXECUTION OF NINE MEN AT LIMERICK. Thu'sJay last were executed, in front of the new County Jail, James Clary, James Browne, Thomas Neill, Thomas Gorman, and John APDonough, for the murder of the Shanagoldea post-boy, which took place on the 21st March. Of these five malefactors, two were but 22 years of age, and the other three a little older. tilAturday, Lawrence Walsh, Maim* Walsh, Ed. mad Deoly,‘ and William Martin, received a similar ignominious death, fur the murder of young Mr. Hos kins. They all appeared resigned to their fate, and acknowledged the justness of their sentence. From the moment of their conviction, they all attended the admonition of their pastor with becoming seri. 0111SLICSS and contrition. Thursday, a race of one mile took place at Sittingbonme, be- I tween Mr. Ganaterr and Mr. SALMON, for one guinea. At start ing two to one was laid on Mr. SALSION ; but the race was won by the former, and was performed in the short space of seven minutes, the Gentleman being between 50 and GO years of age. The dog which displayed so much speed upon the Ulversten Sands, in taking sea-fowl, on the wing, a few weeks ago, has been trained to hunting wild ducks. The other day be met with a brood of flappers in a huge pond, when the animal dashed into the water attar them, and swam to the opposite side, where they had concealed themselves amongst some reeds; he dislodged them, and seizing one, brought it to his master, then went in pursuit of the others, and after swimming and even diving (for this he was seen to do repeatedly) after the ducks, he succeeded in capturing six of them. MANCHESTER. JULY 20.—Williant Johnsen, a venerable looking old man, with a long beard and hair, both as white as snow, was brought up on a charge of vagrancy. The prisoner was called upon to give an account of himself; and he stated that be was one Aumbed andfour years old last November; and that be was a native of Cambel-town, in Argyllshire; that he was proceeding from Scotland to London, and had walked twenty miles a day from leaving Glasgow until he arrived in Manchester, where his legs failed him, and he became unable to proceed; and then he began to tremble violently, and to support himself by the railing in front of the bar, as he was unable to stand. Mr. Smith said, that, as to the prisoner's legs failing him, he had had sufficient proof to the contrary; tor whilst he (Mr. Smith) went a very wort distance to procure assistance to take the prisoner into cus tody, the latter had made such good use of his legs as to get clean out of sight ; and he was obliged to be followed a long way before he could be overtaken. The Magistrate then asked the prisoner what motive he had for going to London? but it did not appear that he had any definite object in view. The Magistrate ordered the prisoner to be discharged ; but cautioned him to make the best of his way out of the town, which the prisoner promised to do, and retired from the bar with great alacrity. Notwithstanding his great age, he appeared to see and hear as well as any matt in the Court. Order of the Court of Chancery, made 31st of July, 1822, in a cause, DAY and MARTINI, Blacking Manufacturers, against Samuel Nicholson and George Nicholson, Artists and Engravers, Liverpool: " That an Injunction do 'sone to restrain you the said De fendants Samuel Nicholson and George Nicholson, your Ser vants, Agents, and Workmen, and each of you and each and every of them under the Penalty of £5,000, to be levied upon your and each of your and their and each and every of their Lauds, Goods, and Chattels, to our use, from cutting or engraving upon wooden blocks, or in any other man ner, any Labels being copies or fac-similes or imitations of the Labels used by the complainants as suck partners as aforesaid, or any Labels or description to which the complainants said ' names or firm of Day and Martin shall have the appearance of being subscribed or annexed as a signature thereto, and from making and forming from such wooden blocks or other engrav ings any mould or moulds, and from casting from such mould or mulch any metal or stereotype plate or plates, and from selling any wooden blocks or other engravings having such Labels cut ithereon, or any metal or stereotype plate or plates cast from such mould or moulds or any mould or moulds irtads or formed from such wooden blocks or ruktr entravirgs."

Andrew But hart, a pensioner, residing at Mont rose, 29 years of age, late a private in the 71st Re giment of Foot, had been wounded in a skirmish in the Pyrennean Mountains, by a musket bullet, which lodged in the fleshy part of the leg, a little above the ancle. He felt little inconvenience from it. Ile found it had shifted its position, sunk lower in the leg, and come near the skin, and he extracted it himself with very little trouble. A letter from Curacoa, dated June the .stb, says— This island is abundantly supplied with provisions; few or no sales can be effected at present ; Spanish produce is very scarce and high. The affairs on the Maine continue in a state of confusion, and Porto Cabello still remains blockaded by the Patriots, and little hope is now entertained of reducing it soon, as the Spanish frigate which arrived a short time since sailed again with provisions and succeeded in getting into Porto Cabello, ,which will enable the Royalists to hold out some time longer.
