The .Seiretery of the Sonatas Academicas has issued a Make to the stutleists attending the Uni versity, directing them to enter their names with' the college librarian, from whom they are to receive tickets to join the other public bodies in the proces sion of Ms Majesty from the Palace to the Castle, &c. The students, at a meeting held in the Uuive►- sity on ittediresday, determined to wear upon their breasts, as their badge, during his Majesty's stay here, a representation of the front of the College, with a suitable inscriptioo. The Society of Printers have resolved to take their station, under an appropriate banner, which will, of course, be similur to the arms of the Sta tioners' Company of London. The Society was in stituted in• 1750 for benevolent purposes. The grand and lofty summit of Arthur's Seat is already covered with an immense quantity of cons. bustildes prepared for the bonfire. The lion's head is so completely covered with the masse, and the ge• neral appearance of the hill top so altered, that one who had been for soma time absent would scarcely ree•oguize it as an old acquaintance.

GERMAN PAPERS. SIATRItA, JUNE 24. (From Ibe Oriental Spectator of Jure 38.] In the night of the lath, or rather at half-past one in the morning of the I9th, the sky towards the S.S.W. appeared for forty minutes to be on fire, from which it was inferred that some unfortunate event had takeu place off Sc!cr. which lay in that direction. On Wednesday; evening the Bairam began. On Thursday the Turks came to our quarters, said the days passed over in such perfect tranquillity, that the Greeks, encouraged by the peaceable behaviour of the Munelinen at the end, also left their houses, and went about every where uninterrupted and without meeting with the slightest affront. In the evening all returned home easy and-contented, and congratulated each other en the admirable order which had prevailed during this firat day of the Bairam. when, all at once, a report was spread, that the Turkish High Admiral had lost his life, and his ship was burnt by the Greeks. Our Pacha had received this news by four different couriers, and made it known. A general panic ensued; people asked, "Is it only one ship of the line that has been blown up? What impierrion will such a tragical event make on the Turks under present circumstances? What will become of the Greeks ?" In the Tut kith quar ter all was still—all buried iu profound sleep—but in the neighbouring quartets of the Franks terror, tumult, and confusion prevailed. At eleven o'clock at night a "'Anentl flight commenced, and still con tinued at dry-bresk. Men; Wornen, children, and baggage fitted the streets leading towards the sea shore, and all fled in confusion to the houses on the strand, befdre which twelve European a hips of war were at anchor. At half-past four o'clock in the morning envy& of fugitives still continued to !tour through the streets of the Franks. We now saw the Commander of the guard, an old man with a large white' beard, advance quite alone to meet them, and conjure them in a loud voice to turn back, and not to give way to unworthy fears. His exhortations were not in vain: about nine o'clock all the streets were empty, the Greeks had gone back to their houses, and the Franks, who had staid at home, had not been a moment molested. Friday passed over in the same quiet mariner. The Turks did no harm to any body ; some of them even affected a kind of cheerfulness; many of them went quite unarmed, and we heard more than one say, " If our Admiral is blown up what does it matter ? It was God's will. We are at war with the Greeks+it is natural that they seek to do us ell the injury is their power. Does then the fate of an empire depend on the loss of a ship of the line? In the room of the one we will build ten new ones." Friday is well known to be a day consecrated by the Musselinen to prayer, on which account they had assembled at noon in the mosque.. Iu the principal morgue the !man mounted the pulpit, and took the burning of the Admiral's ship for the subject of his discourse. Ile painted in gloomy. colours all the horrors committed at Scio ; the shed ding of innocent blood ; the wanton burning and de struction of the city and the villages; the innocent women sod children cruelly relied, and then carried into slavery. God, lie said, incensed at these enormities, had hailed down from heaven the avenging tire, &c. The Turks from•whom w•e have learned this fact, and who were themselves present at this severe lecture, assured us that it had made • profound impression on all who had heard it. On Friday evening the Greeks again appeared in the streets without any apprehension, and on Saturday, the third day of the &limn, they filled all the streets as in the quietest and happiest times ; all the shops were open by superior command, and never was the police more strict than during these days. At the desire of his Excellency the Paella, the Consuls or the different nations have waited on him. His Excellency could not refrain from expressing his displeasure ut the disorder which had prevailed in the lower town in the eight of %Vedittsday. adding, that the panic which had seized the majority was very unjust at a moment when such good order prevailed, and every possible precaution was taken to maintaio it. All this is very true; but how are the people to be induced on certain occasions to listen to argu meats ? The remembrance of the past must by some miracle be first erased Irons their minds. Some movements which the ships of war stationed in our port thought it necessary to make, have i❑ like manner caused an alarm in the Tut kirh quarters among the women, who were not to be pacified, but thought it advisable to fly with their children to the mountains.

THE DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF LON DON DERRY. We are not apprehensive of being charged with insincerity when we affirm that it is with deep and unfeigned regret we have this dey to announce the death of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. There are circumstances and feelings which we trust can exercise a kindly influence over society beyond the feverish and troubled circle of politics, and the world may join in lamenting over the death of • good man, without anxiously /canning his merits n a Statesman and a Minister. The death of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY was almost sudden. his Lordship had attended upon the KING on Saturday last at Greenwich in his usual good health and spirits, hut on the even ing of Saturday and through the following day he complained of indisposition, and hy• the advice of his medical attendants underwent the operation of cupping. No danger, as we understand, was then apprehended by his family or his physicians, but unhappily in the course of Sunday night or the morning of yesterday, his illness suddenly assumed au alarming character, and almost on the instant became fatal. The immediate cause of his death is variously ascribed to apoplexy, and to an attack of the gout in his stomach. . - It happened that Mr. Vicu. a State Messenger, had been in attemfauce .upon the Noble Marquis 00 Sunday, and was detained at North Cray in consequence of his Lordship's illness. This gen tleman, immediately npon ascertaining the sad eYent, returned with all haste to London, and con.- veyed his intelligence to the Foreign Office, where he arrived about one o'clock yesterday. The news thence quickly transpired,and excited through out every part of the metropolis a deep ant. unxinus interest. The public offices, in particular,. dia. played a troubled feeling approaching to 1144; and the funds experienced an instant depresairst c about a half per cent. Dispatches were instantly sent off' to his MA JESTY, to the Lord Lieutenant of IRELAND, and to such of the Cabinet Ministers as were not in town, apprising them of the melancholy event. The KING, we are convinced, will sincerely lament the sudden death of a Minister for whom his MA JESTY ass generally believed to have entertained a high respect, and we cannot doubt that the event will, in no slight degree, diminish the feeling of enjoyment which his MAJESTY had else received from his visit to the Scottish capital. It is a mutter for serious reflection to consider that the Noble Marquis had, on the g h of August last year, corn. municated the intelligence of the late QUEEN'S death to the KING, at Holyhead, when his MA JESTY. was occupied in his journey to Ireland. tier MAJESTY'S death cast a gloom over her Royal Consort's journey to Ireland, and the melancholy event to which we now refer will uo less irnbitter the pleasures of the KING'S excursion into Scot land. A Cabinet Council was summoned to meet yes terday, and Lord CLAN WILLI Am, one of the Under- Secretaries of State fur the Foreign Department, kit town at an eat ly hour for North Cray. The Noble Marquis was the eldest son of the Tate Marquis of LONDONDERRY, to whose estates and title he succeeded !as• yule. His mother was SARAH FRANCF.9, (laughter of the late Marquis of HERTFORD. He was burn J une 18, 1769, and was consequently at the time of his death 53 years of age. ills political career began at an early age, fur we find him, soon after he had attained the age of manhood, distingui s hed in the Parliament of Ire land as an active and intelligent Member, con. spicuous as the partisan of the Chancellor, Lord Ch.ARE, and the ostensible manager of the pro jected Union between the Legislatures of the two islands. His style of parliamentary speaking was then, as it has since uniformly continued, laboured and verbose; but he frosorased in • high degree firmness and consistency of character, so that he seldom failed, by perseverance sod energy, to accomplish the purposes of his fixed resolution. The Union of the British and filth Pothoments Was his Aril great political achievement. Whatever degree of moral guilt may attach to his character, from the means which he employed in accomplish ing that purpose, the praise of activity, energy, perseverance, and even of physical cou►age, must unreservedly accompany the successful result of hia exertions. To assert, indeed, that Lord CASTLE. REAGH, in purchasing the consent of the Irish Par figment to its own dissolution, had corrupted the purity of the L-gi.lature of Ireland, would be id assume the existence of this attribute in the corrupt assemblies which were dignified by that name; hut degraded as those assemblies were, they had yet so far obeyed the impulse of the public voice as to give a momentary freedom to their country, and the history of the Parliament even of England, in the days which witnessed the murders of the Russit.t.t and the SYDNEYS, and the rapid expulsion of the STU•RTS, ought to guard nations against the pos sibility of despairing for their eventual prosperity. It cannot he denied that the Union must contribute to the general force of the empire, by removing many obvious causes of occasional diversities be tween countries merely federal; hut it is equally certain, that from the moment in which the volun teers first sprang into life, until the hour of the dim lotion of the independent Parliament or .. .lreland, that country had bounded forward in the course of im provement with a pace more rapid than had ever bech experienced of airy other nation or people in the world, and that since the Union she has 'fallen back into the old crooked path of party government, of prejudices and party influences, of county jobs end Castle patronage. The proud hopes and honest ambition of Ireland were all blighted by the Unior, and for those bright prospects of national improve ment, which might have been fairly justilied by a view of the past, Ireland has now to contemplate the comforts of provincial protection—a pauper population with the alms of charity for their Pup port, and an Insurrection Act for their suppression or security. Lord C•STLEaEICH placed himself, for the moment, iu the seat of empire, and he sacri ficed the peculiar interests or his own country to promote what he believed to be the general pros• per ity. Few• tnen have occupied a larger share of public attention than the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, and few have pursued • political career more brilliant in its couise, or in its results individually more for tunate. His talents seemed to have been happily formed for active life, and from whatever cauKe arising, his Nine brightened and extended in pro portion as the sphere of his exertions became more enlarged and more conspicuous. As the Representative of the British Empire in the Coupe's of Kings, he yielded to noise in those external attributes and forms which attract the eye and ratify the mind of the million, His figur e and countenance were manly, ingenuous, and dig. itified, and his manners were peculiar!) , Liking**. His address was easy and appareolly unreserved, but it was said of bins that he possessed in a peculiar degree, that talent that belongs, we hope exclusively; to the habits of diplomacy ; of dissembling the actual object of his wishes. We shall not embark stow into the va,t se• of the di versities of opinion which prevailed after the close of the Congress of Vienne, nor shall we at this moment reproach his memory with the sacrifice of Poland, of Saxony, and of Genoa, nor upbraid him with • criminal negleCt of the commercial interests of his own country. Of his political sentiments, whethe► in foreign or domestic matters, it has been our ill fortune sel dom to approve. He was unhappily governed by other views than a reverence for general freedom, and his notions of political excellence rested upon the authority of Kings far more than upon the liberty of the people. He dreaded the excitement of popular commotion; and this moral timidity be came the basis of his policy, and Inc.' him to form mud avow .opinions no less hostile to every principle of public advancement throughout Eu rope in general, than they were especially at mi. once with the ls , st and most cherished doctrines at our own Constitution. His Lordship, though a Peer of Ireland, continued after hit accession to the title of his father to hold a seat iu the House of Coluinuns, where he repte• sented ■n English borough. The urgent neerssi ties of the Ministry required this sacrifice from the Noble Marquis; for it would be difficult to find another person so eminently qualified as he was for a leader of the business in the I-louse of Cronneir s. This statement must appear remarkable to !Lose who have heard that the Noble Marquis was cot distinguished for the style, the manner, or the ex pression of his parliainentai y oratory. Ile was copious without distinctness, his ideas sere no always well digested or well arringed, his won!' were frequently ill-selected, arid he was sometime• rot intelligible where he secined most anxious to be communicative. This might have been the habit of his mind, or it might have been policy, but whatever momentary impulse such a defect might have occasioned, it seemed to have detracted eery little from his efficiency as a parliamentary hrder. He was in this clarecter uniformly actiee and ready, he never suffered a weak point iii his oppo nents to escape observation, and he was singularly dexterous in urging all the strength of his own case. To these qualities he added those of an imperturb able temper, 'Aid' bade defiance to ridicule or taunts, and a cool manifestation of M determiuid _ . - El
