(user Tin stussuses OISSOVIre. or /Maier-) The King attended divineservice in St. Mee Chita, yesterday forenoon. The Lord Prorate and Meg%Wield, sod the Jadges of the Girt of Snake, and the Beres' of &cheque. had takes shelf places in their 'Seidl seats before his Majesty's arrival, and the Cengregetios (some of whom were In the church by 7 o'clock A. M.) were fully assembled.. Oa his Majesty's entrance, he yes rewired by the Mi nisters and elders, arrayed in a line in frost of the church door; Dr. Baird then had the honour almond. ing his Majesty from the door, and "hewing the way to the Royal Seat, and we understand that an Interesting incident occurred in the progress. His Majesty had a sealed packet in his hand. He inquired at Dr. Baird where the usual receptacle for the congregation deposit ing their contributions was placed; on being told bhe Reverend Principal that the weal receptacle bad been removed for the time, in order to avoid interruption to his Majesty's entrance, his Majesty appeared to regret this circusataace, and then putting the packet into the Principal's hand, he desired that it toight be applied with the rest of the collection, to the benefit of the poor. We afterwards saw the address of the packet dons graciously given, sad it was as follow.:—" Oise hundred pomade from hie Megjeety." Hie Majesty then took his seat— with, among ether eminent persons of his suite, the Earl of Errol (bearing the sword of state, en Isis right band) and Lord Glenlyna, as Lord in Waiting, on his left. These remained standing during the slick, around the Royal Chair. Dr. Lemont, who, as Moderator of the Assembly, had been desired to preach before the King, took as his text. Col. iii. 3. and 4. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ is God. When Christ who is our life, shall appear, then shall 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.—By the sidgingoithe last psalm especially, we could notice that he was sensibly impressed, We perceived that he joined his voice to that of the as sistant-band, and the audience both in that psalm and the two preceding ones. Immediately on the service being closed, his Majesty, after hosing to the preacher, left the church. (IIXTIACT Or a LIITTIIt MOM ZDINBUIOII, AUG. 26.) Nothing that his Majesty has done, since his arrival to ingratiate himself with his northern subjects, has operated so successfully as his attendance at the High Church yesterday. Such an act was quite io character with the zealous regard which the people in general pat to the sacred Obligations of the Sabbath. At an early hour the High -street was lined en each side with detachments of cavalry, and as his Majesty passed from Holyrood House to the Church a deep silence prevailed, and an ordinary spectator must have been struck with the impressive solemnity of the seen.. The people tes tified their homage by taking off their bats, and bowing to his Majesty, bat not one ebeer was beard, nor was there the slightest demonstration of ardent feeling. Every emotion was repressed in solemn ce for the day. None were admitted to the church but the members of the regular congregation; consequently there was no oppressive crowd. A chair of state, and other suitable accommodations, were ;nevi led in the Gallery appropriated to his Majesty and the Royal suite. About eleven o'clock theJedges and Municipal Autho rities arrived, and took their respective seats; the Rev. Dr. Lamont, the Moderator of the General Assembly, making Isis appearance In the pulpit at the se me time. At haltpast eleven precisely, the King entered the church. His Majesty was attended in church by the Doke of Argyle sad his Duchess, the Duke of Due cleugh, Lords Reseberry, Belh aven. Etch*, Errol, and Cates. besides Ida Psso>sal WO. Ml+ the Staff of Scotland. The service neontmess with the first version of the 100th Psalm, which was finely chaunted by the Choir. After a very impressive prayer, part of the 23d paraphrase, from the Itith verse to the end, was sung. The Lord's Prayer was thee repeated, in a solemn and distinct manner. At the conclusion, Dr. Lamont commenced the sermon. It was an excellent discourse, but deli vered with too much theatrical affectation. One feature in it was particularly remarkable. It did not contain a single allusion to the circumstance of his Majesty's visit, nor was the word Meg, or Sovereign, once men tioned in it. The Reverend Preacher expatiated in glowing terms on the obscurity of a true Christian's life in the present world, as contrasted with the splendor that straits him in the life to come. He dwelt en the instability of all earthly grandeur, and portrayed, in vivid colours, the vanity of all human enjoyments. His Majesty appeared deeply affected by the sermon, parti cularly towards the conclusion; and it may, perhaps, be said that it was the only one without eatery that hag ever been . delivered is his bearing. On leaving the Church, Ibis Majesty returned to Holyrood House, and thence immediately after to Delkeith. Ile was dressed in a Field Marshal's uniform, and wore the star and Insignia of the Order of the Thistle. The speech which the Duke of Hamilton delivered at the Civic Banquet, has produced a strong sensation in the public The Whigs applaud it with rapture, the Tories decry it with vehemence. It is certain that the Duke was not previously a favourite with the King, but now that the occurrence of Saturday night has been reported to the Royal ear, there can be but little doubt but that marked coolness will be tweed to positive aversion. It is thought, however. that something stronger than pa triotism dictated the high-toned address which the Noble Duke delivered; and every one believes that he was at the time actuated by indignant feelings of wound ed pride, at finding himself though the Premier Peer of Scotland, unnoticed, even by a nod; while the son-in law of Mrs. Jordaa reoeived the utmost gracious marks of Royal attention. • (FROM visa CALIDONIAN ISCRCOOT.) Yesterday afternie-te the Karl of Fife and a select party had the honour of dining with his Majesty at Dalkeith House. Royal. INVIONART.--This excellent lostitntion has, we understand, received a mark of Royal favour, his Majesty having ordered a donatioa of 200 guineas to be paid to the Treasurer, in aid of the funds of the charity. Ills Majesty has also seat a donation of 100 guineas to the Treasurer of the Lunatic Asylum, for the ben& fit of that Institatioa. The other donations of his Majesty to the Charitable . Institutions of Edinburgh. are 100 guineas to the So ciety for the Relief of the Industrious Blind, and fifty pintas to the Lying-in-Hospital. Three public edifices. the Royal Chapel, the Eqaes trian Statue, and the National Monument, will be added M the other splendid buildings of Edinburgh, all of which owe their commencement, or their don. to his Majesty's visit. 11 is said that seen after the King's return from Scotland big Majesty ►ill visit St. Paul's in state, aad dine at thildhall, as meal after every Coronation.

Stit,—To the singular circumstances related as attend ing the loss, on the coast of Holland, of the !mane fri- gate, whose wreck has recently been diseovered, after the lapse of so many years, may be added another, rela. five to the insurance of the specie on board of her, which the saderwriters are now trying to get leave from the Hatch government to fish up; and well may their recollections he awakened and acute, for the risk was taken at a trifiing premium, it heing ; in fact, considered as wo risk at all, and the insurance agents pushed it into the hands of their particular Jriemds as a mere henna. Thee each took as mach as lie decently, and without the ap; MillIOCI) of greediness, could take of so good a thing. With respect to the decision of the Dutch government on the chains of the Underwriters, I must say, that 1 think that its rejection of those claim*, whatever other motive may sway that decision, is more consonant to the rights of the people titan its allowing them, on the coned that we were at war for the Orange family, would be; fee if the people chose to submit to soy other go vernateet, what business bad we to make war on them in favour of that family? He this as it may, if I were Interested in the wreck, I should be inclined to follow the jedgment of a prudent friend of mine, and a man of experience in those affairs. I should be very shyer witionsrpiar soy more ie sack an affair t for 111.4, fed after Toni neiroaition. plata the permission r. nested. it will be s miracle if the expellees do not swallow op more than the Gantte that will be recovered from the wreck. Q. U. I. Z. [The Dutch, it appears, when applied to fur leave to recover the property on board the sunken wreck of the Latin', replied that the wreck had happened when Bog. land was at war with Holland, and therefore the pro. perty had become their lawful prize. This reply the Corder terms oncourteous. Whatever the reply may be termed, it is, however, in the spirit of the decisions in the English Courts of Law; as the following cue; we recolleet,wil! sbew:—Previoas to the revolutionary war with France, a 1 bound from Bordeaux to Guade loupe was inured, valid all hazards of Me sea and oneasy, out and home. The vessel reached her destined port In safety. but was afterwards seized with others by the British forces on the capture of theisland. During the Peace of Amiens ' the owners applied to the underwriters for the sum insur ed, and payment being refused, they had recourse to the Court of Common Pleas to enforce their claim. The case was tried before Lord Alvaoley, and decided against the owners. Thd grounds of the deci sion were these:—One of the objects of war, as his Lordship sail, was to amiiisitaie the commerce of the enemy. A Declaration of War, must,therefore, dissolve all obligations that might have been contracted between the subjects of the Belligerent States Cu. the protection of the property , of either; for it could not be allowed that sub. jects should defeat the purpose of the State, by insuring that property of which the Government meditated the de struction. The cause was again argued before the Judges, on a writ of error, we believe; hut there was no hesitation about rejecting the owner's claim. Some mention was made relative to ordering the premium to be returned, but as the voyage for which the I had been inured had heen accomplished in part, the order was not seade.—Entron.] Yesterday a Ballot was takes at the East India lipase for the Election of a Director in the room of John I nglie,Esq. deemed At six o'clock the gl were cloud and delivered to the Scrutineers, who re ported the Election to have fallen on Cherie' Mills, jun.

Jonm FORD AND WRITON.—The match between time men took place yesterday, on the verge on the counties of Middlesex and Essex, for a stake sad a purse. Font it known by his brave combats with Oliver, Harry Har mer, awl others of first-rate order, and Weston proved himself a good man in his combat with the Bristol Youth. Nothing but a manly fight was 1°4,64 for, and the men realised the expeetations of Ike smsteurs.— Carrol, the Suffolk man, and GOlett seconded Ford, and Oliver and Clark officiated fur Weston. In the first round, Ford was bit heavily in a r2:ly, and his blows fell short from a catch or lameness in the right 'erg, and he was under in the fall. 2d. This round spun the claret about merrily. The men stood to each other, and exchanged blows wrlsout strolving to avoid, until their features were spoiled.— Both down in a dose. 3 , 1 and 4th. These rounds were contested with much obstinacy, and in each of them Ford made his !spare hitting right-hand tell upon bin wl y's bead, n Isich stoltified it, and he was floored in both the rounds.— Betting, which was even at thecommencewent, was now 6 to 4 on Ford. In the 8;6 round Weston recovered from the doss( tie hits bad throw. him into, and changed the odds in his favour. It was slashing work all through, but Fur could not get np his lame leg quick enough to meet his antagonist. Weston led until the 18th round, when he bet ame tired also, and was thrown a heavy Somerset -19. This round made i eoetvierisi turn i■ tlu battle: Ford played a ehotterieg right-handed Mow upon his adversary's Jaw, which loosened it, and dropped the man. The battle wee continued until the 28th ronod in Ford's favour. In the 234 round Weston floored his ad versary, but Ford chewed estrordinary game, nnd.•e severe punishment ; there was nothing like denial about him. Weston was at length beat by a cltrnce hit tinder the 1.;, which made him deaf to time. The men were alike much punished. A second battle was fought between Jaws, a navi gator, and Ben Smith, which was woo by the former is 16 minutes. CLontrcL, Acc !4.—On Wednesday last a poor simpleton from near Chanel), commonly called Can tering Jack, cams running Into Clone's!, accompany ing so foot the Mail Coach from Cork for Dab in, (*lsiah travels at the rats of nearly six miles am ho.ir ) Ho bad kept along side of it from Cork to thh town, and. we seelneview4l. went-es wink - tt In MI swim as far as nallytore, about 100 Irish miles, before he broke down. It was undertakes for a smell wager that poor Jack would go from Cork to Dublin aluop• side the coach.—(Clo3nael Adveriiter.) A woman of the same of Corill, residing io Taber nacle-row, was this morning, about seven o'clnek, while crossing the City-road, opposite St. Luke's Hos pital, knocked dowa by a man driving a gig in a most redoes manner. The wheel going over her leg broke it just above the meek, Every attempt was wade to stop the driver, but he avoided his pursuers, coetiou lag his career along the road towards Shoreditch. A coroner's inquest was yesterday held on the body of the man who was thrown out of the window in Bell lane, and killed, os Sunday morning, as mentioned in oar paper of yesterday. After due consideration, marl the examination of whimsies, the Jury returned a ver. dice of Wilful Murder spigot James Birmingham. (the butcher. who was is the room with the demented) and that Mary Kirwan who had also been in the room, was aiding and, assisting tbereln.—(Dus!i4 .horsing Post, August 27.) Nothing shows the utter inefficiency of the Munici pal Authorities of the city of Dahlia in a stranger point of view than the shocking and disgraceful fact, that the body of the unfortunate Inas who was killed in Dull-lane, was suffered to lie in the street, os the spot where he fell, during the whole of Sunday, and natil three o'clock in the %Nausea of yesterday. —No man should accept the office of Coroner who will not discharge its ditties: those who du accept the office, and will not attend to it, should be dismissed. Surely the Government of the country should investigate this delicate affair ; which is tort siogu!ar iu this City. It is but a few months since a woman was killed in I)mm-street, when the body re mained for the greater part of three days, anti no la. quest was held until after the lapse of that time, al though crowds of people beast aka Imam where the body lay, and apprehensions were entertained that is would be torn duets by the popnlace.---(ibid.) Voltam - I.r or [LATS.—A few days sines an inquest was held at Cambridge, on the body of Mrs. C is. Headley. 'fits d ti, it appeared, had long been subject to fits, and fir two years had been infirm and totally unable to help herself. She living on the ground flour, a lodger closed the s`tetters, sod his wife went into the room to fasten them. This was about br.lf past nine, and she then heard deceased snore, and on looking at her she appeared to be in a comfortable sleep. The aurae found the deceased in a similar state at tea o'clock, but on visiting the room again, twenty minutes afterwards, she found four rats gnaw. lug the deceased's face. The rats ran away and so lid the nurse to give the alarm. Mr. Dell, the lodger. came down, and, although bet • minute bad el.pserl. the four rats had already returned to their 11-orrid re past. Three of thorn again ran off, bat tile fourth re• . maimed. and Mr." Bell might have taken it with Lis hand, had he not been tuo much shocked at the sight. A surgeon gave it as his opinion, that the wounds indicted by the rats would sot have caused death, mud from her bands and suns, and the bed-clothes lying precisely in the position as when she was put to bed, and there being et t appearance of struggling, it s• supposed she was dead before the rats attacked her.
