walking along the room, in the most friendly . manner shook hands with many of the Noblemen and Gentle men present and also paid the most marked•attention to se. eral Ladies, with whom he conversed for some time. Tile dancing of the reels appeared to give him most deiight, as he stood nearly half an hour witness ing the agile and spirited movements of the different dancers. A Lady and Gentlethan, in a Highland dress, danced a strathspey with much taste, which his Mainsey so greatly admired, that he clapped his hands in token of approbation. His MAJESTY re mained till a tew minutes past eleven, when he re tired, and entering his carriage, set off for Dalkeith. A crowd was collected in frontbf the Assembly Rooms, who cheered his MAJESTY as he entered and retired from the rooms; and in all the streets through which the Royal carriage passed it was loudly cheered by the People. The rooms were beautifully fitted up and decorated for the occasion. On the staircase set apart for the KING'S reception stood a large pedestal supporting four figures, with lamps in their hands; from the centre of the pedestal rose a pyramid, imitating mar ble, on the top of which were four painted lamps, and the - whole was surmounted by an Imperial Crown, elevated on a gilt stands Round the upper part of this room were large oval tablets, displaying the arms of Scotland; at each corner were banners of the national lion and St. Andrew's Cross alter nately ; and behind them the star of the Order of the Thistle. The walls were covered with btiff drapery. On enteriii; :he grand room, the sight was truly mag nificent. At one end stood the canopy of state like a throne : an elevated platform ran the whole length of the end of the room, and was covered with crim son cloth ; upon this platform was another, made only large enough to contain the throne, which was of crimson velvet, with drapery of white satin on each side. On the canopy were the unicorn and lion, splendidly gilt; and a dome of crimson velvet rose in the middle. Arm-chairs of crimson and gold were placed about the platform and below it. Sofas were lxnged round the side of the room, under the win dows, and at the end opposite the throne, and a few were opposite the windows. They were covered with light blue cloth, and hung with yellow fringe. On each side of the throne was a magnificent candelabra of white and gold, supporting abundance of lustres; and over each fire-place were three superb branching lustres. At the end of the mom opposite the throne were three candelabras of white and gold, like those near the throne. Three very large and very handsome chandeliers were hung down the middle of the room, and eight others by the side of them. The side-rooms were also very tastefully fitted up. The floss were chalked in patterns to match the shape of the rooms, and the intervals were filled with military trophies, flowers, &c. The KING'S private apartment was very tastefully decorated, and covers for 18 were laid, who had the honour of partaking in t! e refreshments laid for his Maaaarr. A number of well chosen paintings were distributed on the wails, and the whole had an effect that must hate been highly gratifying to his MAJESTY. The new room forms half o f l a many-sided figure, having two win dows only, which are placed near the old building ; those sides of the room which are opposite the en trance are painted so as to represent Highland scenery. The lake is interrupted by jutting promontories, and adorned wish boats. Hills, rocks, woods, towers and battlements, judiciously, and not overpoweringly dis uibuted, made us almost fancy that we saw a real and most attractive scene. The roof, which gradu ally rose towards the centre, somewhat like that of a marquee, was formed of wide bands of white muslin, and rose-coloured glazed cotton alternating, and be coming narrower as they approached the centre; the intersections of the angles were fastened with roses of the same materials, and rich festoons were suspended all round, as if to complete the delusion of making the spectator fancy he was suddenly transported from the presence chamber of his Sovereign into a teat pitched in a retired but magnificent part of the coun try, to enjoy the beauties of nature. The front of the marquee appeared to be supported by six slender pales covered with drapery, and the walls of the old building, and that part of this new building which extended as tar as the windows above-mentioned, were also cove: ed with muslin and rose-coloured cotton, richly folded. Around the farthest part of the build ing were spread tables for refreshments; and ready acre %% as given t' the domestics by staircases to the loner apart: ent The •• . Peers and Peeresses who attended the Drawing-room were previa at the Ball, and we may add, nearly the whole range of the Scottish Gentry. A great many of the Gentlemen wore tartan dre.st,. Inc company did not break up until late. A: • •I.c o'clock this day , the ancient Regalia of Scot land were cibilveyed back in state pomp, by an escort of HiAblanders, and amid the sound of their bag pipes. from Holyrood-house to the Castle, and depo sited by the proper officers in their previous place of security. His MAJESTY, it is therefore certain, will not mak Ili, appea:ance again in state while in Scot land.—This evening the Kinn partakes of the Civic Banquet. ;o which all the Nobles and Dignitaries of Scotland a; e invited. EXTRACT•OF ANOTHER LETTER. At the Peer' Ball his MAJESTY looked on, appa- Undy highly amused with the rapid and animated manner in which all the dancers went through the different figures ; and here I must not omit to mention an instance of singular familiarity on the part of one the Latiies, which was obviously the result of the emotion which the presence of his MAJESTY inspired. Having to turn her partner in one of her complex evolutions, she held out both her hands to his MA JESTY, yam, far from appearing offended with the fair enthusiast, placed his hand upon his breast, and said, with a kw bow, "I would most willingly, Madam, if I could ; but, I am sorry to say, my dancing days are over." The report of this little incident was quickly circulated through the room, and the Lady became an object of interest for that night at least. —At a quarter before eleven o'clock his MAJESTY retired, and was loudly cheered as he got into his carriage. The company then sat down to supper, and " the merry dance" was afterwards kept up to a late hour. It was gratifying to observe, as a proof cl national feeling and better taste, that the reel and country dance completely superseded the indecorous waltz, nor did many dance quadrilles. Thursday is positively fixed for his MAJtsrix Ictuin. his MAJESTY will breakfast that morning with Lord Horirtoms, and afterwards get immedi ately on board his yacht. The following is the Answer of his MAJESTY to the Addresses from the several Universities of Scotland : " The testimonies of loyalty and attachment which are con tained in your Addresses are very gratifying to my feelings. "I highly appreciate that excellent system of instruction which is established in the Universities of Scotland ,and which has mainly contributed to form the character of a religious and enlightened people. I feekaunred that you will continue to promote the cul tivation of science and of sound learning, and to instil into the minds of the youth committed to your care those principles which will lead their to form a correct estimate of the peculiar bless ings we enjoy under our free and happy Constitution." FROM THE CALEDONIAN MERCURY OF SATURDAY. Wednesday, Lady GWYDYR, accompanied by Lord . ROSSLYN, Sir GEORGE WARRENDER, and an elegant party, went to look at the Celts on their parade ground, opposite Queen-street. Her Ladyship ad vanced, supported on the arms of Lord ROSSLYN, and Dr. MACKINTOSH, when she received the salute. This flue body of Highland Gentlemen then marched pig her Ladyship in open columns of companies, at quick and slow time. The Noble party then expressed to the Commander the pleasure they felt on the oc casion. Lord /toasty)/ was particularly pleased with the soldicrlike appearance and steadiness of the Gen tlemen composing this body. Lady GWYDYR and the same train went afterwards to visit the Royal squadron in Leith. Roads. ' The following faCt chews the anxiety which gene rally prevails to .see his MAJESTY. A herd set out from Arnprior, about twelve miles from Stirling, one morning last week, for the metropolis, with only eighteen-pence in his pocket ! He reached his desti— nation the same evening. During his stay his curio sity was gratified by seeing the KING five times !-- Being desirous of having, on his return, a voyage by sea, he went to Newhaven, and bargained with one of the Captains of the steam-boats to make himself useful on board as a compensation for his passage to Stirling, which was accordingly agreed to, and, on arriving at home, he had something still to spare, for his whole disbursements during the jaunt amounted to only one shilling !! THE ARMY. Wednesday, that old and respectable Corps the Surrey Yeo manry Cavalry, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Sir THOMAS TURTON, Bart. and having an uncommonly fine mounted Band, marched out of quarters twin Epsom, having finished their per manent duty. During the time that they were in quarters, the Regiment was inspected by Lieutenant-Colonel SMITH, who was pleased to express his high sense of their soldierlike appearance and excellent discipline. Yesterday, according to the custom observed twice a year, all the troops attached to the Guards now in London, mustered on the Parade, in St. James's Park, where they all attended in marching order, with knapsacks, canteens, &c. They were then inspected and reviewed by their Colonels. It being the annual day for changing quarters, all was bustle in the Westminster, Southwark, and Portman divisions. They will be allowed a ju bike for three days, t. change and settle in their new quarters. NATAL INTELLIGENCE. The Fame, CLAIM, from Madras and Calcutta to London, was totally lost off the Cape of Good Hope on the 14th of June. This disaster occurred in beating out of Table Bay, with a heavy swell rolling on shore, when the vessel missed stays ' and, not withstanding every exertion. by anchoring, to. keep her off, she drove on the most rocky part of Sea Point. Providentially, be fore she parted asunder the greater part of the passengers and crew were saved by boats from Table Bay, though at the immi nent peril of those who ventured out to their rescue. The per sons lost were Mr. Corrnt, the Purser; Mrs. Muss, Miss Banes, and Master MATO, passengers; four seamen and invalids. The Grace, Captain LZTDIBIUDOZ, another valuable ship, with wool, &c. from New South Wales for England, was acci dentally burnt on the Ist June, at the Cape. Ibis accident ori ginated from the heating of the wool, which formed the greater part of her cargo, and she was run on shore while unSre, which enabled them to save the crew and passengers. The loss of these two vessels will be severely felt by the Underwriters, as upwards of £lOO,OOO was insured at Lloyd's. Information has been received that the Zephyr, Captain Lars- DMA, on her passage from Jamaica to London, was boarded on the 7th July, by a schooner of two"guns and 35 men, which took away a part of the cargo and threw the remainder overboard.— Captain LIDISDALL was obliged to pay the pirates doubloons and silver to the amount of £1,500, to prevent them from burning the ship. All the passengers were robbed of their property, and the Mate was detained en board the pirate. Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Hull, dated 24th instant :—" A letter has been received via Bremen, from Captain Tuostrson, of the Perseverance, dated Greenland, 7th of July, in about lat. 71. He had then only one fish, and stated that tbe season had been very unfavourable, most of the ships being very badly fished. Ile was then running for the west land, and intended to stop as long as possible, but the weather was very thick, and the ice remarkably heavy and close. It is later now than was ever known to be without intelligence from Davis' Straits, or an arrival•from Greenland, but the reason is partly accounted for in the letter from Captain Tnomesou." The Herring, from Quebec to Greenoock, and the Spence, from Miramichi to Liverpool, are lost in St. Mary's Bay, New foundland. Ten Revenue cruizers are ordered to be paid off; among which number are the following :—Fancy, Harpy, Redbreast, Repulse, Tartar, Active, Eagle, and Lion. An order has arrived at Plymouth Custom-house to abate in future what are called the extra or foreign light dues, hitherto payable by ships arriving from abroad.

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Ltosta's at Snsyrna, dated July 17 : •• The situation of this place continues tranquil and satisfactory. We have received a letter from Mr. THOMAS VAUI, dated at Zante, which mentions his being unable to proceed to Patras to land his cargo there from Salonica, in consequence of the Greeks blockading Patras. We are Informed here, that British ships of war do not interfere against the Greek: preventing British, as well as other neutral vessels, entering with supplies for Turkish forts besieged and blockaded by the Greeks. Further than this, we have not:heard of any European vessels receiving molestation from them for some time." Sir CHARLES RowLEY, the British Naval Com mander on the West India station, has addressed a letter to General BOLIVAR, demanding that the Re public of Columbia should give up the Portuguese renegade Emanuel Nieves, who commanded an armed force, consisting of four gun-boats, fitted out in Ca rupano, under the Spanish flag, and murdered in the month of October, 1820, in a manner remarkable for its barbarity, the Englishman, GEORGE M‘Annatta, Master of the British schooner Eagle, while on the high seas, trading peacefully from St. Vincent to An gostura, the Master not having offered the slightest insult or provocation. General Bon vita replies, through his Secretary, that the Constitution of Co lumbia prescribes - an inviolable observance of the right of asylum towards all foreigners who take shel ter under the protection of the Republic, without in quiring into their previous moral character; but Nieves having been made a prisoner by the arms of Columbia, must be responsible before the tribunals of that country, " until the condign punishment due to his atrocities shall be inflicted on him, as an enemy to human kind." An order for the immediate arrest and trial of Nieves was then issued by BOLIVAR. HAYMARKET THEATRE.-..-Last night a new farce , was produced at this Theatre, entitled Family Jars.

The week before last J. Townshend, a Sussex pedestrian, un dertook to walk 50 miles, half backwards and half "forwards, in a field at the Cewgate, near Newcastle, in 13 hours, which task he performed in six minutesi within the time. He walked one mile forwards in minutes, and one backwards in 12 minutes 5 seconds. On Friday. the 16th, the same BUM undertook to walk 50 miles in 13 hours one half backwards and the other for wards, which he completed in 121 hours, on the road near the Wheatsheaf, Mockweannouth. In fist field at the Cowgate, on Thursday week, at 10 o'clock, B. BP Mullin commenced the arduous task of walking one mile and one pole every hour for 1000 successive hours. He rests one hour and twenty minute., after every two Smiles. fillMullin bad completed 162 miles at three o'clock on Thursday the 22d, and wu in excellent spirits. John Townshend also started on the same place oak Wednesday at twelve o'clock, to walk 1000 miles in 18 days, Sundays ex• cepted, half backwards and half forwards; and on the first day completed 64 miles, performing 54 of the backwards. On Sa turday week Willi am tat Mullin, a bey of 'boot 15 year of age, undertook to walk oe the road at the north end of Stockton, 46 : miles in eight hours, which he performed about six alinutu within the time. His only inducement was to raise a coetri. button among the spectators.
