~: - • • ' • • I.P. W • • C:81 Ti! KING. ROYAL, PROCESSION TO EDINBURGH CASTLE. As this was the occasion upon which the people of Edinbur,,h Were to make their nearest approach to the King, the meows lions fur it were very general'. Accommodations had been erected for the several " gietles" of the natives, and the utmost role taken that every body should be secure. Dining the whole of Wednesday the citizens were running to and fro. bearing all manner of rumours auout the speetac;e t.king or nut taking place on Thursday ; mud it was hosted, upon tolerable good authority, that the King himself had expressed some re luctance at being thus publicly exhibited iu the streets. "be show, however, hail been expected, and au a Gazette on Wed nesday esetiog announced it for the Di:lowing day at two. — The morning ail Musa*, was rather unpropit,ous, hitt stiil it hid not prevent the streets, balconies, booths, windows, and housetops from being thronged at an early hour. The members of lite trades, corporations, mud friendly societies came piping to the bur or tlie progress by about eleven, and formed a double 1.6 e for the progress, each well dressed, and armed with a while wand ; behind them in varied phalanx was that port of Vie posse cuesitatus which could not alluid to pay fur windows or seats, and here and there stood a special constable or Fife shire yeoman mounted. Outside these the ten storied houses of toe High-street were tapestried with human faces ; and to pre vent disturbances all the cross streets were lined by cavalry. ( Fruits the Rilitibluvis :ttar.) ROYAL PROCL,SioN.— Inc people general viewing it as the 1 set public ocolution that presented itself to them of testifying tow loyalty and attaukusout to their Sovereign during his so jouen here, emursced it with acidity, and collected in crowds groin all Touters. This feeling was not confined to the men alone. The gentler sex shared ire their seal and participated in their entousiasm. Numfmrs of females, elegantly attired, graced the deferent plabssions and galleries from Holyrood house to the Castle, and showed by the animated expressions of their countenances how lively an interest they took in a scene whim they *erred at once to embrace and adore. W Lieu tile Mille carriage arrived at the barrier gate, outside the drawbridge, his Majesty descended, and the keys of the Castle were delivered to him by the Governer. Has Majesty walked with a firm step along the drawbridge, till coming to time tuner gate be stepped into another state carriage which stood waiting, the grenadier company of the With regiment funning his guard of honour. The Royal procession moved slowly through the street and narrow passages of the Castle, pawing a moment a: the Governor's-house, till it came to the half-moon battery, where a platform was erected. His Majesty ascended ibis, and soon presented himself to his admiring who hailed him with the loudest acclamations. The comma soon to'd from the lower balletic* (bat the King of Clothed stood upon the summit of Edina's grey crest. 'the Canon, the crags, and the fleet, answered, and though the I oweriog fog prevented .bis Majesty from enjoying the line and extensive view, it threw a dark suolianity over the whole ; and time broken outlines of chit, and tray, and turret, came out with the most impoeing effect. The King atinessed himself delighted;b.ghly and, When bone of his attendants regretted that it rained, he said, with &suede. " Never mind, I CAu wear my hat." After his Majesty had show. himself fur a few mi nutes to the shouting an m delighted people, be descended fio.n the platform, and resumed his carriage. His Majesty repeatedly bowed to the ladies who graced the I:3e of the prooession, mud our fair countrywomen greeted their b . .vereign by a con.,lant waving of handkerchiefs. amid the lo idesi acclamations of the crowd* who Idled the streets be. oath them. An nth:T.:sting spectacle was presented to his Majesty when lie arrived at the bead of West BOW, w . s a platferni was erected fur and lined by the masters and boys of toe High Scoot,' in H.:riot's Hospital, Wotson's Hospital, gio. The High School of youths were dressed in blue jackets and white trowsers, with a bloc sash, and the others in their respective uniforms. The appearance oft o large sod interesting a body of the yonth of Scotland, could nut fail to be highly in teresting to his Majesty. CMk HaVIE.W.—Ou Friday at five o'clock the King re viewed the cavalry on Portobello Sands. The day was uncom monly fine; the amearance and conduct of the troops was such as to drew forth the warinost coruluendatione of his Majesty, who, amounted on a superb charger, rude gracefully along the line.— The rook. fashion, and elegance present, were beyond all paral- LI t.t Sco :a el, and the whole went oil' with the greatest eclat. On Thursday, at a general meeting of the Institution for the encouragement of the tine arts iu Scotland (the Earl of Wemys io the Chair), it was unanimously resolved that an equestrian statute, in bronze, of his Majesty, he procured, and that his Majesty be invited to sit for this object to any artist he may be graciously pleased hematite ; 11'111 to appoint the place where the statute ou g ht to he erected in Edinburgh, in order 10 cum aneuaorate, hi the most Lofting manner, his Majesty's auspicious visit. to Scotland. II a Majesty was attended in Lie carriage during tlie proces sion, by the Ertl o Cathcart and the Duke of Argyll, which latter oma his WINO of odiot, as hereditary Master of the Household. In the evening his Majesty will honour the Peers' hall with his presrene. He is expected to arrive at the assembly-rooms . shout nine o'clock, and to remain shout two hours. On Thursday his Majesty inspected a collection of pictures, which bad been carried to Holyruod house for that puipuse, also salonifted to his examination a collar of the ribbon which which had been worn by Prince Chalks. THE CIVIC BANQUET. EDINBURG% StrilltritY EV.:AING.-- rite body of the Hall was occupied by tour rows of tables, containing, we should suppose, covers for about he 3 gu!vts.—The vocal p: r- Isomers were packed io one of the " Ordinary's" hosts, and the lostrumentel Band in another :—and the learned persons, as well as such of the company generally as were laminar with Edinburgh, beard with no small astonishment the notes of -song and of fiddle, issuing front the same pluses whence are wont to iaace the solemn dicta of the la«. The room was thronged by six o'clock, end though there was more gravity than is usually found at e.dioner p as ty, the coup died was ra ther *Whine. The Lord Provost of Edinburgh, in his robes and catena tisn, occupied Ilse post of honour on the King's right band ; hot thou g h his Lordship be spun ordivary occasions a very po lite RAU. he 'reedited a little abashed at thus dining fur the last foot. sad in all limitability fur the last, at the right band of Ma. insty. The King arrived at a quarter to seven, dressed in a Field Vardial's uniform, and wore foe honours of the Thistle. As soon as his 11 ijesty had tuken his *eat, tae Very Reverend ' , widt h,' Ilford slid grace intermit and measurer which were at once of diodox and becoming. Immediately all was still, cove the ti..kle of plates, and the ocoesional tones of music. When his Mojesty had dieted a gentleman onterod, hearing a ails er ewer mod haain, and adenete.t by two pages. lie knelt to the King. %Vi/U dipped hie heed. in the wate7, uj a v.hich tie fa.' anod of with Lis cbtat ge. After Now Nobis Doming bad been secommonly well sung by Mr. 111•Grath and lies professional and &meteor band, the Lord Provost rust soil spoke to the following effect : .• My Lords and Gentlemen,-1 have the honour to propose the health of his Majesty, who has this day honoured us with his presence, and who i as conferred upon the good city of Edin burgh, a distinction which, I venture to say, will never fade from the memory urn this generation." The bumpers were instantly tossed off to, we believe, sixteen rounds of cheering, but they ran so into each other as to here the effect of a military Oa de joie. The signal for the royal salute from the Castle had not bees true to a second, and so their peals were symphony to the short and very neatly spoken reply of his Majesty, whorose and said in effect— " I teal this one of the proudest days of my life, i return you my warmest thanks tor the reception which I have met with in this country. 1 am highly satisfied with your attentions, and want words to express my feelings, and so 1 shall, without fur ther ceremony, drink to all your good healths." Vile speech of the Kiug_ was followed by warm plaudits; these by " God save the King ;" that again by the " Duke of York sod the Army," and that by the " Juke of Clarence, and rest of the Royal Family." }lac • toast acoompanied by wonted honours, and appropriate music, both vocal soil iustrumental. W hen the last note of the music had ceased. his Majesty spin ruse, and the Provost having knelt, and kissed hands, the King lifted him op, and turning to the company, gave " The health of Sir Ww. Arbuthnot, Baronet, sod the Cor poration of Edinburgh." qtr The newly-made Baronet blushed, the ging smiled, the omit pony applauded, and the music played and snug " Within *o of sweet Edinburgh Town," sou " Glorious Apollo." His Majeaty rose a third time, and proposed " The Chiefthina and Claus; and may God Almighty blears the Laud 01 Cakes." After which, he and his more immediate attendants retired, escorted to the door by the Lord Provost, amidst peals of sr' plaude, with which the brazen tongue of born and trumpet cm tended in vain. The Chair of State vanished forthwith, and was replaced by a common one, in which the Right Hun. Sir Wiiliam Arbuthnot, Baronet, Lord Provost of Edinburgh, I seated himself to preside for the remainder of the evening.— By this time a venerable Senator of the College of Justice had &cased that the wine was good, and so it began to circulate with more rapidity. The Doke of Hamilton, after passing an eulogy upon Sir W. Arbuthnot for the orderly arrangements that had been made, proposed his health; and Sir W. returned thanks, • good deal overcome by the freshness and greenness of his me rited humours. As soon as the Right Honourable Chairman bad recovered himself, he proposed—a' A long, prosperous, and happy reign to his Majesty, and "The Three suspicions Days, the 14th, 13th, and 24th of August, in which his Moja'. y had anchored on the Scottish Strand, set foot on the Scottish Shore, and ho noured the Lord Provost and Magistrates with his Company at Dinner"—Co these followed, " The Britith Cons itutiou in Church and State ; " aod• " Toe Leonia of Mr. Secretary Peel," all of which were drank with becoming enthusiasm sod ap plause. By this time (about ten o'clock) the room was thinned of the principal Nobility, said at a seemly hour the trample' finally closed, in order that all might, on the following day, be pre sent, outside or inside the MO Church. SUNDAY, FIVE O'CLOCK. The King departs for Hopeton House os Thursday morning, whence lie will pass on board the fleet, and sail immediately. LoINBUticH, Abrit 3 sT 38.—The King attended Divine Ser vice in St. Giles's church. '1 he Lord Provost and Magistrates, and the Judges of the Court of Session, and the Barous of ,Lii cliericer, had taken their places in their ollicial seats before his bicjeary's arrival, and the congregation (some of wliutu were in the church by seven o'clock, a.in.) were fully assembled. On his Majesty's entrance, be was received by the Ministers and Elders, arrayed in a line in front of the church dour ; Dr. Baird then had the honour of attending his 'Majesty from the uoor, and thawing the way to the royal seat, and we under stand that an interesting incident occurred in the progress.— His Majesty had a sealed packet in his band! he inquired of Dr. Baird where the usual receptacle fur the congregation de positing their contributions was placed ; wn being teld by the Reverend Principal that the usual receptacle had been removed for I.le time, in order to avoid interruption to his Majesty's entrance, his Majesty appeared to regret this circumstance, and then putting the packet into the Principal's hand, he desired that it miglt be applied with the rest of the collection, to the benefit of the poor. The address of the packet thus graciously given was as fol lows :—One hundred pounds from his Majesty. His Majesty then took his seat with, among other eminent persons of his suite.the Earl of Errol (hem leg the sword of state), on his right hand, and Lord Gleuly on, as Laird in Waiting, on his left. These remained standing during the service around the royal chair. Dr. Lamont, who, as Moderator of the assembly, had been desired to preach kfore the King, took his text, Col. iii. 3 and 4.—" For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shan ye also appear with him in glory." The sermon was excellent, and both to it and to the other parts of the service, his Majesty gave earnest attention. Immediately on the service tieing closed, his Majesty, after bowing to the preacher, left the church. SERVICE PERFORMED AT THE EDINBURGH BAN or nr.—Tne honourable service of attending on the King, with a silver basin and ewer and napkin, for his Majesty to dip his hands, which was perforated on Saturday by William Howison Crawler& younger, of Braehead end Crawfurdland, iu place of Isis mother, tile proprietria of IlraAead, in the comity of Mid Lothian, being the tenure by which these lands are held, has its origin in the following very interesting story, related of an ancestor of the present tamily of Howison of Braehead : ... Ore of the Kings of Scotland, James 11. or 111. travelling ineug. (as was frequently his custom), in the neighbourhood of Crannind.bridge, was attacked by a gang of Gipsies, then eery numerous in Scotland. The King lung gallantly defended himself, but they at length ssicceeded in bringing him to the ground, when a husbandman named Howisoit, and his sou, employed in thrashing grid° in a barn hard by, hearing the noise of the scuffle, called OA, Sad seeing one man attacked by so many, gallantly aided with the weaker pnrty, and dealt suck laser blows with their flails among the gripaies, u put them to flight, and rescued the stranger from his perilous situa:ion, 'lLey ortsrwards cuunucted bile to their humble , i..sslling, au.:, having presented luau with a basin of water ' and a napkin to remove the blood and dirt from the bruises Ireceived in the contest, they gave him refreshment as their 1 bona, afforded. Tradition adds, that when the stranger laid aside his cloak, the farmer perceived by his apparel 1 that lie was a person of some distitirtion, and paced hia I eccudiugly at the hes,: of his beard, Tgj f , was at kat • • . declined, bat the farmer persisted, laying, " He was master there " and the stranger was obliged to comely. Before going away, the stranger, after many (Leeks, invited Lis deli verer to volt hint in Edinburgh, sod dealt* ed him to inquire at the Castle fur sue James Stuart, who would gratify the • u. riosity be had expressed of seeing that furores. " Wow, man," observed the farmer, " I would like to see the Castle ;" considering this, perhaps, • suSeient reniuneratiou for the assistance he bad rendered. At no distant period, the farther availed hieneelf of the invitation, end, hating asked for Lis fitted, as directed, was with due amazement, ushered into an assembly of nobles and courtiers, among whom he recognized his old friend " James Stuart." He &gain repeated his gratitude, slid :It the sate tams iuformed him that the King was present, whom he would soon lied out by being the only person covered. " Then," bead the bewildered farmer," it be either you or toe." After diverting himself at the farmer's simplicity, the now-dis closed Monarch desired the farmer to BAUM • buon, such as be could bestow, for his deliverance. The honest rustic mudestiv replied, that the summit of his earthly wishes was to become proprietor of the lands he occupied as bouttsman, which was cheerfully complied with by the Monarchs, mid a crows charter of the lands of Drachmae' was immediately prepared, with the redline*, of holding • basin of water and uapkiu fur the King to washiphen required so to do, in commemoration of the friendly office perforated by the husbandman to his Sovereign, oil ree -1 • • mug h im front the Gipsies. We understand the story was told by Sir Walter Scott, sad that his Majesty wan highly amused with it. AglalNO ANECDOTE.—Ott the first levee-day at Holyronjj-boure, his Majesty wait dressed in the full Highland coatitmeoind from the crowded presentations, was stationed on tint left side, and near the entrance of the room. Immediately opposite veers some of his suite with I °sidemen, and amongst them 3isesnal Beresford, in full court dress, aid splendidly garnished out with all his foreign Immure. A Glue gow Singlet-we, iu making the 'noire, scarcely dei,,ned to glance at the familiar figure of his countryman, and passing on to es gorgeous Marshal, knelt and bent forwards, in that hoe style sf conciliating humility which conducted his countryman, Sir Pei tines, through so litany lucrative promotions. The Marshal, to prevent any delay io the ceremony, smiled, and waved his hand for the kneeling supplicant to pass on, which he reality did, gladdened by the cheering smile of the great man. Dining afterwards with a numerous party, std boasting of the gracious reception he had experienced he launched out in rapturous eulogy on the rich habiliments and scarlet splendour of the royal personage. " Scarlet!" exclaimed his adjoining friend, why his Majesty was dressed in tartan, and you, Sir, must have mislakeu the person." Hoot awe moo! returned this sapient Justice, " that& ye I ant sic a gowk as not to ken a King fra a kilted boost, who was naething else but • Highland sergeant, placed as a body guard on his most sacred Majesty !" ' A few days ago whilst the Riding blister of the Scots Greys was ambling round one of the parks hear Buceleueb palace, his fine courser attracted the notice of his Majesty, who who was sitting at one of the windows of the palace. His Majesty was pleased with the noble look of the horse, and sent his groom to the Riding Master to know if he would sell lien. The R.din„; Master had had ham when a colt; and be was such a noble auirual, and so completely broke, that to use an expres sion elan olliefer of the Greys, " he.could ride round a bottle," and he put the groom sir in the best passible manner. On the day following the Riding master was iu the park, and no doubt showing olf his line animal to the best advantage ; the groota being sent out again by his Majesty on the same errand, the Riding Muster disinoeuted, and made a present of the amble animal to his Majesty. It is said that he has been no loser by the trausuctloa. It was this beautiful menial that his Majesty rem; at the review. FROM TUESDAY NIGII7"S GAZETTE. ....p...- BANKRUPTCY SUPERSEDED. W.
