A band had assembled near the river Nell°, under the conduct of a few inferior native chiefs, among whom was one Kerto Widyoyo, the deposed Dement of Minoreh. It does not appear what was the reel object of 'this band, but it seems to have been plunder, es Abe, surprised several villages, both in the district 'erf,tlfirgelong and in Probohneo, without much in creasing their numbers. The Resident hastened with the few European civil officers, and the small native garrison, to go in pursuit of the rubbers, whom he suet with and put to flight on the 27th. They afterwards made a sally from a village where the ground favoured them, but were driven back and dispersed. Detachments of cavalry from Semarang and Djokjukarta arrived on the 20th, and on the 29th went in pursuit of the robbers, who had so com pletely dispersed that none of them were met with. On the Seth all was tranquil, and the Resident •_ of Djokjukurta, who had come to the assistance of his colleague, returned home.

EDIRBUEGE, TUESDAY, AUGUST 27. CALEDONIAN HUNT BALL . Last night his Majesty honoured with his pee ',Dee an Assembly given by the Gentlemen of the Caledonian Hunt—an institution of which his Ma jesty had previously condescended to become Pa tron. Long before his Majesty's arrival from Dal keit)), crowd. of people had assembled in Clerk. street, Nicelson-street, the Bridges, Prince's -street, St. Andrew's-square, and George-street, to obtain • sight of his Majesty as he passed ; and mounted dragoons were stationed in the same manner as upon the occasion of the Peers' Ball, on Friday last. On arriving at the Assembly-rooms in George. street, we observed that the decorations had eape ►ieneed very little modification since the display of them on the prior occasion. The only cl.ffereuce, indeed. was, that the pillars were covered with blue and yellow drapery, and studded at the top with roses of pink muslin, which produced a pleasing effect. The grand saloon was also divided by lines into two compartments, to render the dancing less exposed to obstructiou, owing to the duplication of rows. His Majesty arrived at half-pest nine, in his pri. vale carriage, attended by the Duke of Dorset and Lard Graves, and escorted by detachments of greys. Several Noblemen received his Majesty at the en trance-hall, where the Marquis of Winchester and Lord Beittinck formed pint of the royal suite. His Majesty wore his uniform as Colonel of the guards, and, ou entering the wand saloon, bowed sod smiled most graciou►ly to all around hint and was received by the company with every mark of at. tention and respect. In a few minutes the dancing commenced : it consisted of country-dances, reels, and quadrilles. The dresses oldie ladies presented nothing strikingly varied from the fashion of Friday night ; nor could they have been more becoming or more charming. The gentlemen were also arrayed much in the same manlier as at the Peers' ball ; though • few, and among them the Duke of Hamil ton and Lott' Archibald Hamilton, appeared is a costume which we supposed to be the uniform of the Hunt : it was a plain scarlet coat, with a gold thistle worked on the collar—no epaulettes. In short, the company consisted nearly of the same per sons, and their general appearance as well as that of the rooms immediately brought to mind the re cent mirthful scene, of which et seemed but the continuation or second act. To crown all, the re fecto►y was admirably furnished with the richest delicacies in season. His Majesty stood for • short time after the deicing commenced, and conversed at interests with the Nobility near bins. He then took his seat upon the Throne, from whence, for a long time, he appeared to survey the dancing with much plea sure. His Majesty retired from the assembly at eleven o'clock precisely. and was attended back to balkeith Palace in the same manner as lie came. An immense crowd was collected round the As. sembly-rooms to see his Majesty, as well as the dresses of the company ; and both on his arrival and departure his Majesty was loudly cheered. At two o'clock this day the grand Masonic Pro cession to lay the first stone of the national mono meet ou Calton Hill, act out from the Parliament Home, preceded by bands of music playing ma sonic airs. The appearance of the different lodges was very splendid, and the paraphernalia rich and appropriate. The Dale of Hamilton marched in ant, as Grand Master for Scotland.

Calton Hill and the neighbouring sites were crowded with well-dressed people, and the bustle and beauty of the scenery equalled any thing seen here since his Majesty's arri val. Vollies of artillery at half-past three o'clock an nounced the lowering of the first stone of the mo nument by the Duke of Hamilton and the other Comatibrioners, with all the imposing forms of massunic accompaniment. The King will pay ■ parting visit on Thursday next to the Earl of Hopetoun, at his beautiful seat 12 miles from this city; his Lordship's tenantry will be un the lawn to receive the King. His Majesty will, at fon, o'clock in the afternoon, take his de parture Gam Scotland in a private manner, at Queensferry, near the Hopetoun demesne, where the royal yacht will be in readiness for his Majesty's re ception. Oo Wednesday Lady Gwydyr, accompanied by Lord Roslyn, Sir George Warrender, and nn ele pot party, went to look at the Celts, on their pa rade ground, opposite Queeo•etreet. Her Lady ship advanced, supported on the arms of Lord Roa•lyn and Dr. Mackintosh, when she received the salute. This fine body of Highland gentlemen then marched past her Ladyship in open columns of companies, at quick and slow time. The No. ble party then expressed to the Commander the pleasure they felt on the occasion. Lord Roselyn was particularly pleased with the soldier-like ap pearance and steadiness of the gentlemen compos ing this body. Lady Gwydyr and the same train went afterwards to visit the Royal squadron in Leith Roads. The following fact shows the anxiety which ge nerally prevails to see his MAJESTY. A herd set out from Arnprior, shoat twelve miles from Stirling, use morning last week, for Edinburgh, with only eighteen pence in his pocket ! He reached his destination the same eveuing. Duritgg his stay his was gratified by seeing the KING five times! Being desirous of having., au his return, a (voyage by sea, he went to Newhaven,ind bargained with one of the captains of the steam-boats, to make himself useful on board as a compensation for his pastrge 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 ! An amusing occurrence took place at the Peers' Ball on Friday. Miss --,who is generally known to be emulous in the dance, found herself exposed to a isoirp/as, by the absence or inattention of her partner at a time when she was to join in the figure. Turning round, on the instant, iu'ending to repair the wrong by impressing into her service the first gentleman,who should beat liberty,she onfortuntitely seized the hands of the King, and importuned him, nest in the most ceremonious way, to proceed with her in the dance. The young lady discovered her mistake in time only to complete her confusion. His falajrsty politely declined the invitation, but in a manner which seemed to betray a well-timed regret that his dancing days were over. A pedestrian was occupied in walking upon a measured piece of grouted on the green below the Castle-mound from 12 o'clock yesterday to the same hour this dry. It was a wager that the man should wulk 100 miles in 24 boars—he performed this arduous task in 23 hours and 50 minutes. Im mense crowds were ma the spot during the whole of the time, and it is said the wager woefully and fisirly won by the pedestrian, who is a small spare-looking young man: his gait was an ambling one at first, soil the adds were offered against him until this colorising, SERVICE PERFORMED AT THE CITY BANQVET.

The Treasury Journals emulously seek to shew the displeasure of their patrons at the admirable and highly constitutional speech delivered by the Duke of H•MILTON at the civic dinner given to the KING by the PaovosT arid Corporation of Edinburgh. As the speech of The Noble Duke has been sneered at by this clans of writers, we could-yave wished they had token the pains to ana lyze it, and have pointed to the passages which even in their opinions were unworthy of a British as sembly to hear, sod of a British Nobleman to utter. If the speech dwells iii the memory of our readers, they will recollect that the Noble Duke avowed in the warmest terms his respect and affection for the Kum, and the ready zeal he had ever felt to evince his devotion to whomsoever the personage may be who wore the Crown of these realms. To this he added, that while he felt this principle of loyal at. ischment to the Sovereign, lie could not forget the claims which the other brunches of the State press ed upon his attention, nor that the privileges and rights of the peo;de no less formed • part and par cel of the constitution than the prerogatives that encircled the Throne. It is most fortunate for this country that there are in it Peers like the Duke of HAMILTON, who are lint besotted by the maxims of the Court, but who can distinguish between the proper respect which belongs to the Kum, as the Chief Magistrate of the realm, and the abject sub mission which degrades alike those who offer it and the Monarch who receives it• The reproaches that are flung upon the speech of the Noble Doke are too vague to admit of a distinct reply : we should like to see any person hardy enough to take the speech to pieces, and point out those parts that are justly censurable. It cannot, we think, be contended that the Duke did not isoilit out very clearly the duties of u Peer, as they are defin ed by the constitution cf the realm. The Peers are the hereditary counsellors of the Crown, and the constitutional upholders of its power and authority ; but they are not to uphold this power sod authority beyond the limits pre scribed by law, nor to an extent injurious to the rights of the other branches of the com munity, with whose interests their own are pro. perly identified. Their duty is to stand between the Crown and the people, the advisers of the one and the protectors of the other, and this mediatory character it is essentially their own interest to main tain ; for although the honours of the Peerage may flow from the Crown, its authority, nay its very existence, depends upon the opinion of the people, and this inion has continued to be favourable to ion, solely upon the ground of its being have promoted the interests of the corn. 'he Duke of HAMILTON boasts a prouder han any other Peer of Great Britain. In nertd the claims of the House of STU A az gone; and if such a man should, on an 'ike that of the Ktwo's visit to Edin asowledge his duties as well to his court as to the &mu individindly, the speecb and Jignify of the Earldom of fteiltiriand, as the heir of the body of William, who was Earl of Sutherland, 1275," esta• blisbed her Ladyship's right to the oldest Earldom in Scot land. ft was, therefore, correctly staled, that seat to the family of Sutherland, the Earl of Moray was entitled to the honour, because, after the Earl of Sutherland, follow the Earl of Errol, who was executing the office of High Con stable, the Earl of Morten, carrying the sword of Stale, and the Earle of Buchan, Winton (a minor), CaostlM, and Otitis nem being absent, the Earl of Moray was the eldest Earl. The determination, therefore, of his Majesty, that the right to bear the sceptre is in the Earls of Sulwrlsasi, and his gracious peresissiou to Lord F. L. Gower to exercise it, as deputy of his mother, must certsiuly be held to confirm that right Sxed by the proceedings of his Royal aacesturs.

It is supposed the Marquis, Marchioness stud flintily, would speud the summer at Slane Castle. _ . _ Lord Stopiord and his Aside arrived at Cour town, county Wexford, on Wednesday week. The humours of Donnybrook Fair produced at College-street Office yesterday no fewer than 15 cases of assault, all of which were dismissed, with out being productive of a single brief for any gen tleman of the long robe. From what we witnessed yesterday, the ;resent fete does not promise to bens productive of ansasio , g exhibitions as on former occasions; but the telling off is fully compensated by a choicer selection; amongst which we particolarly noticed a species of Parisian pastime, newly introduced by some soya gear, amongst our fair-going folk. called " ✓et de Pigeols"—firing marbles from a bow and arrow, formed as a gnu at a wooden pigeon. A lIVW SPECIES or Roseety.—On Monday night, about Moe o'clock, IS or 20 ruffians col lected in Siephen's-green, at the earner of Har court-street, all bare-headed. They had previously deposited their hats in a place of safety, and were assisted in the execution of their plan by a number of women. They assailed every person who passed, pretending to have lost astir hats, and desiring lo see the hat worn by those who alighted from the cars which came from the fair. As soon as the unsuspecting pavvengrr give his hat for inspec tioa one of the females suspt it from the bare headed robber, who pretended to hive no know ledge of tier ; she female fled, while one of the robbers called out " Stop thief !" but with what success may be imagined. In this way about twenty bats were taken from ritffereat persons. rH E Blur' s H PRESS. of the Noble Duke ought to be received with act. miration end applause by the public at large, and we doubt not that so it has been, notwithstanding the petty sneers of the Miniaterial Prints. We lament to find by the Paris Papers of Tues day that the Greeks have suffered their indignation at the massacre of Scio to tempt them to retaliate upon their barbarous tyrants. The garrison of Athens had surrendered to the Greeks by capitula tion, but upon some account reaching the con querors of the success of the Turks at Thermopylae, they put 600 of the Muasulrnat►s to the sword. We may account for this, but we do not pretend to excuse it. The guilt of one party can never justify that of their opponents. It is an evil al most necessarily incident to a civil war, that every crime committed upon either side may find some excuse in the conduct of the opposite. The wretched remnant of the Musaulnian garrison of Athens found refuge on board a French ship. It is said that this ship brings an account of the total defeat of the Greeks by CHOURSCHID PACHA, but as no date is given to this event, we still hope that it refers to the action of the 7th of June, and not to the battle of the Bth, alien, according to the first intelligence, the Greeks took noble ven geance for their discomfiture on the preceding day. The tiial of the persons implicated in the Ro chelle conspiracy still proceeds. The charge up pears to have had its origin in the machinations of some spies of the Government, of whom a fellow of the name of DE11114015, who disgraces the rank and title of a General, seems to have been the chief. This is the mat►, the mention of whose name gave occasion on the second day of the trial to the Pre sident and the Bar to shew their indignation against the counsel of one of the prisoner., for having insinuated that so immaculate a character ■s a " French General" could have acted dishonourably. The lively imagination of . the Parisians is vastly amused by the publication of an anagram of this person's name, which in their opinion marks his character and occupation.
