(From Are Greenock Aclrertiserl 1 stood is Rolyrood's deserted hatlr, I gazed oe tioayrood'aclosolicinred And o'er my vaiml the memory of the past Was like a darksaing shad dimly east ; .1 thought of Base► time--when Prince and Peer Mighty is power all met triumphant here ; %then *await mirth, sad royal splendour gleamed, And Beaoly's eye in brightest radiance beamed; When not an echo of tiing Arthur's Hill, Or by the ruins, or the c►.gs, was still; Where purple harmers waved o'er every tower, And ill was wealth, and pageantry, and power! Ab! where was now the pomp of regal pride! The expedite* crowd that gazed on every aide— The neighing steed that proudly pawed the ground—. The tramp of war, the bugle's swelling Noted— The haughty Bares with tie valiant band—. Tlw word obsequious, •r the high command— Where were they all Their very trace was gone: 11 stood dejected, silent, and alone! The wintry minds were howling sadly by, And teats unbidden filled my downcast eye. But winter rolled on, and the winds were at rest, And spring with its breeze and light cloud from the wet, Had yielded to rummer's luxuriant days, When Nature the bloom of Fee beauty displays; And spin in fair Ho',rood*, Palace I stood, How altered its look, and bow chang. d was my mood ; Fur my heart brat triumphantly proud to behold Once again in its halls the gay glitt'ring of gulil ; And my heart beat with rapture a Monarch to see «•ho looked once again, my own Scotland, on thee; And I gazed on the brave of ray country once Toro., ♦nd I gazed on that Monarch they all did adore, And 1 joined with the thousands who raised the proud cry, That ler him they would live, or with him they would die. Ye Gods! it was magic that reigned o'er my son!, It was magic imparted its grace to the whole; It was magic that cast o'er old ilolyrood's pile The radiance that beams from the sun's morning smile; 0! the splendour of jewels and beauty was there, And Joy reigned ecstatic, and laughed away Case I And Edina remembered ancient renown, And hailed in delight the loved heir of her crown! And F►me over Scotia flew swift on the whim, Every stream, glen, and mountain r►joiced in their King! &mock July 31, 1822. H. B. PREPARATtAtfS IN tilt CITY VIA TWO DEPARTC7tE of his MAjEITT for SCOTLAND. The Lord Mayor had due eintifirattiow that on Satnetist Morning. at half-pam eight n'elnek. the King would embark at • Ger enwich. His Lordship, long , before he hart been put in porresmain of his Risjesta'a initiation of leaving Green wich osi Saturday, had given ardent to tie Water Bailiff and other officers metier his jurisdiction on the Thaerretyao pre. pare the City barge with all posaible apleoditor ott elision of the royal departure, having at an early period been assured that kin Majesty was determined to art sail within the City boundaries. He also sent round to the se. carat Companies, exposiaing his belief that it would be a suture of gratifiration to the King to see as numerous and revertible a body or citizens a. could be conveniently col. heeled nn the river to witness the embarkatioo. The hies.* leas taken with alacrity, and a cumber of elegantly orna mented bargee arc ranged together in the Thames, as much in the neilhbonritood of the grand euirance as the Comoro. doer, Sir Charles Paget, will permit. His Lordship will em bark at the Tower-staira this motoring at six o'clock, in or rice that he may arrive at Greenwich an hour anti a half be. fore his Majesty shall reach the royal yacht. The Lord Mayor will proceed in leis barge, which is to he towed along by a steam-boat, insmedately before the royal yacht, as his Lordship will attend upon the occasion as chief conservator of the Thames, - and not in his office of Mayor. As soon as the Lord Mayor shall have reached the Medway, where, we believe, the City boundaries have their limit, the City barge will salute the royal yacht, and immediately return to the City The compauy in the city barge is to consist of the Lord Mayor, the Lady Mayoress, all the Aldermen and their ladies, the whole amounting to shout 50. His Lordship will attend w full drew—( Erasing Paper.) But little bustle was apparent at Greenwieh sad the vie+. noty I oat mooning. The terrace by the waterside prewsted n o addition to the number of visitsats which is to be seen walking there.. any oordiaary occasion is fine weather, saw. here sad there a disappointed greup of persons who bad bees attracted from town by the expectation of being admitted no board the Royal George, to inspect the vessel, and see the nature of the accommodations prepared for its royal owner. The permission to admit atrangws on board for that par pow was mode must extensively available on Thursday and a lea preceding days, when crowds of visitors were meta passing to and from the vessel the whole day long. The ap proach of the time fixed for his Majesty's embarkation, how e►er, rcadrred it necessary to ampead that permission las moaning, is order that the requisite preparations for the re ceptios of the royal passeager might proceed without inter. caption; and orders were gives to admit so strangers with out a written order from Caritas Palace. The cumpasy, therefore, which had gone from lowa le igoo.noce of that eirenroomoce, were necessarily compelled to content them selves with rowing round and surveying the exterior of, per haps, one of the most beautifully moulded vessels ever be held; sod maim proceeded to Deptford to view the Royal S.prereign, which was said to be still allowed to admit visi tors or board. It has been erroneously stated in some of the Daily Papers, that the river was already crowded with gatly.deco. rale., barges, and other ls, moored as near to the royal yacht as Commodore Sir Charles Paget would permit, for the accommodation of compaay desirous to rime's his je►ty's embarkation. But auy poises ereo slightly *equal's.- ed wills the regulations for keeping opea the navwation of the river, must have knows that no sued means of obstruct ing the fair way amuse's pusiug op or down would be per. rattled. The fact is, that last manilas the only vessels is the ►each, besides the Royal George, were her two leaders, his Majesty's steam.vemel Royal George, the Admiralty yacht, Commissioner Sir George Grey's yacht, the James Wait steam•sessel (which we ooderstand has been hired fur the conveyance of mime of his Majesty's suite and stores, and to tuts tie royal yacht down the rover), sad two or three small *ailing pleasure beads belonging to private persons. lie Royal Suvereiga yacht was 'expected to drop ems inse Deptford in the course of the tide.

The whole pack age.' were aaf.ly landed, sad eonveyed, the throne to Holy. roo d Palace, a.ti.ehe ',late to Dalkeith noire. under mortar of military. The same weasel also brought a large quantity of poultry. The abovrponitry. it was at heat stated, had been brotight for his Majesty's use. and that each of them weighed 7 or Slb.; but we hese the best anthority for snits', that they are nrit iatorpleil for the King's table. They are the private property- of Mr. Spike, • London poulterer, who brought them down on his own speculation solely, throirgh in the en. pectatinn of having the honour of supplying his Majesty'. establishment with that article. He was, however, old that the Kings purveyor had contracted with poulterers in Erbil. burgh, fur whatever of the kind might be wanted during his Majesty's stay. We inderstand that no provisions that are ant the produce of 'Scotland will be set spots the King's table, shile his Msjcity shall continue in Scotland. Mr. Florence, purveyor to the King, has formed a very extensive dairy at Ditkeith. for the service of his Majesty's table. Only the butter and cream are In he retained for that purtanse. The whole orate milk mad boiler milk is to be distributed amongst the poor of Dalkeith sod its neighbour. hood, hyoriler of his Majesty. This distribution, we under stand, is to commence tn.day. There Is also • laundry formed for the use of his Majesty's household; and, when the King arrives, there is Is lie a poor's-pot established, from -hence We poor of Dolkeith, &e. are' to he served with good wholesome broth snit • pro. portion 'of the broken victuals, as pas the ancient custom of the august family of Hnteleuch daring the life time of many former Mikes. There is also a similar establishment to be at the Waterloo Hotel—whence all the broken meat, &e. will be distributed amongst the poor prisoners, puor.buirse, &r. daily. There is at present a great numher of workmen homily employed in repairing the decayed walls upon the Rams Rock, on which ore to be placed six levee cannons ' for the pur pose of tiring a Cava salute to his Majesty as he enters the Frith of Forth. A Rag staff 40 feet in height, is to be put upon the top of the rock on which the royal standard is to be hoisted. it is expected that his Majesty will land, as his Royal Highness Prince Leopold did. during his visit to Scotland ; and to make it more convenient fur his Majesty to take a view of the rock, a very broad stale is at present making on the south-mist side of the island, which is the only place that it is possible to get up, it being ioaccessible on all aides except this. We understand that• Lord Melville yesterday held a con. Imitation with the Port-Admiral, and some of the Mays- Iran, respective the most convenient situation for his Ma. jesty's landing. Nnrieciaionlas been officially promulgated ; hut it is understood that the Cisitom•bouse, Lath, was the point agreed upon, as far as that-resolution may not be af fected by clrentastmoces. The state of the tides will admit Of his Majesty's landing here at half low water; hut should the arrival be Inter, it in conjectured that his Majesty will be landed at whatever place it should, on the instant, be judged praetieable and most ronvenirnl. • It is now believed. that, whether the Ring lands at Leith or at Newhaven, he is Certainly to proceed to Edinburgh by the way of Leith Walk. No city In Europe can boast a nobler avenue. The king will be in his travelling carriage, which is to meet him at the shore, and his progress on this occasion is not to be considered as his public and formal en trance.into the city. His earrisge will be escorted, as it is understood, by a party of the yeomanry cavalry of the county c of Mid LosZlt The Edinburgh troop will be imiembried Cloie to porsre arch erected opposite Pi. candy-niaee.

The line of march whiele.has bets determined on is are. drab:toll, from excellent authority, to be as follows, viz.

The King, baying reached Firelyrood, will view the Palece at his Ware, and proceed privately to Dalkeith House, where be la sextiected to sleep every night during his st a y i n this neighbourhood. The House of Dalkeitb contains a very noble intoner hall and stairrese, and a suit of rooms every wiy such us his Majesty is likely to approve of. The furniture, which is plain, bet very handsome, remains as it is, with the ereepilon of a magnificent state bed, vial' has 'just been pat np for the King's use, under the or -Mr. Trotter. The King has sent down his plate, end is to 'retire his personal filets& at din_ wer, &r. Dalkeith Hoar. The whole of the Wa terloo Hotel has been engaged for the use of his Maj. sty's spite, who have their own cooks, &e. Various table. are So be kept there every day, at the King's entrees*, for the accommodation of his annotate, in their different orders and classes. Another table is also to be kept at Holyronl, for the Gentlemea of the Royal Company of Archers, who are 'to 'diseharge,. *evading. to their ancient pateet, the duties of the .f ,Nemec Pensioners, or, Cards of the ix. tarter of the King's Palace. Thirty of them, it is supposed, are -to -besot' duty rich day during his Majesty's stay : they are to line the gallery and ante-chambers, and enjoy, In scherj reipect, the same privileges which the Grailemen Pennowers , have its Carbon Pilace and St. James's. A new dress of Lincoln areenotlaithed with white satin, centrals de clothe,' quiver, Sec. &e. bas been ordered, and will be worn on this (iv-adult by the Gentlemen of this ancient body, Thty are to be commended by the Earl of Hopetoun, their Captain-General, and under him by Major Norman Pringle, of Torreos. Their appearsuce, so graceful in itself, and as sociated with so many antique recollect' .... s, cannot fail to produce a very sulkier-direct. Th t d a y immediately asicegeding that of his arrival will be jointed by the King, it is understood, in a private manner. He will, however, In all-probability, visit, in the course of it, some of the ietiverdiusig scenery iuhis neighbourhood, such as Rodin', Hawthoradity, Ate. The repose of this day will prepare his Majesty Isyr the fatigue of holding a Levee at Holyrood on bat immediately succeeding. Q a t h e secon d d a y a fter ins Majesty's arrival, his first lat.e.wll4 it is said, be held in the Palace of Holyrood. Attie ffroosiog in his. private apartment., (the same lately acopied by the tan of Strathmore, part of whose splendid collection of cabinet pictures still remains there), the King will pureed to the preseoce.chalitber, iu which a throne has Seru erected: seated upon his throne, he will *.eceive the whiny or the Magistracy of the city; and, sifter he has ad- Tilted the hl aliens state,•nd others who enjoy the privilege of Ate, serf, into his closet, the doors will he opened, Sod the Noblesse's and Gentlemen &news, of being hrearitted; or Of Paying their respects to the Sanely', will be successively infrodoced. On this occasion no gentleman can appear otherwise than in a ititharess suit, with sword and bag; but hair powder is nut now held lb lie indispensable. Gentlemen may appear in any uniform to ohich they have a right ; and for that who present themselves is Highland era, the ancient costume of their cosatry is always sufficient dress. Those who wear the Highlaud dress must, however, be careful to be Valet' in the proper Highland fashion— steel wrought pistols, broad sword, and dirk. It is under stood that Gleogarry, Bresitalbane. Fluently, and several other chieftaias, mean to attend the levee lath their tail on, i.e. with a coosi.terable attendance of their gentlemen fel lowers. Aare, without doubt, this will add very greatly to the variety, (earfuls's., and appropriate splendour of the nese. The State-rooms in Holyroed (including the long ga ll er y sod the apartmeat• lately occupied by the French Prince') are certainly orneh more spacious than those of Carlton- House or Buckioglsam House; so that here a very favour. aMalimmiii --i. able opporloirity for the display of courtly tnagnificeote is about to he afforded. We may add, what all will hear with pleasure, the hest works of Messrs. Rtehurn. Allan. Piny smith. and o ir other Scottish Artists, are to be exhibited in the lines Present, Chamber during the stay of the Court. A Itmomidersble rliterenee of opinion having arises as to the propriety of gentlemen, privates in yeomanry corps, waiting on the King in their uniform, it may be as well to state at once what is the truth of she ease. Every restlentan in this situation may, without doubt, appear heroes the King in the fires. of his regiment but it Onto he the full dr..., viz. a cost with skirts, ke. The following additional particulars may be pretty well relied upon : The Regalia of &Idiotid are at present, as it is well known, in the Castle of Edinburgh, under the care of Cap. tatty Adam Ferentrin. Sir Aleasuiler Keith, Neighs Maris chat of Scotland, will. as soon as the King is its Holy rood, proceed to the Castle nod, presenting a warrant tin• der the sign ma nua l, d ems .:l the Regalia l o on the keeper, in order to their removal to the Palace, The Koichi Ma. met's! (who represent. the ancient and illustrious Howie of the Earls Marisehal. and possess,s their estates, the title oflEarl having been forfeited in 1715) will ride, according to the old custom, oil horseback, attended by six esquires in rich costumes of scarlet and gold. He himself weals the dress of his office. which is of blue and white satin, the na tional colours of Scoil.nrl. The Knight Merischal, having received the Regalia, will convey them in his cumin , to Holyrood, attended by his esquires, as above described, and a large military escort. On the day when the King in person goes to the Castle, (he Doke of Hamilton, Premier Peer of Scotland, will crrry the Crown. This is a privilege which he enjoys as Earl of Angus, and representative of the once all but Royal House of Douglas. The sword of state will, on the same oecasion, he carried by the young Earl of Errol, Lord High Constable of Scotland. la virtue of ibis high office Lord Errol rank. ss the first of Scottish subjects. His authority supersedes that of all other Magistrates within the verge of a Court holden in Scotlaud ; so that the peace will be preserved at Holyrood, ikr. during his Majesty' s visit, by the Officers of the Lord High Constable alone. The gentkmeniof the Celtic Society are, it is supposed, to set in this rapacity; hot be sides these, whenever the High Constable appears its any pro cession, he it entitled to come with • personal suite of the Knights, ten Esquire., mid twenty yeomen, all in appro priate costume. Lord Errors appearance will, therefore, form a very important feature os every occasion of formality. On the fourth day, it is nederstood, his Majesty will hold • drawiscroom. When the Kisg was is Ireland last year, the crowds of gentlemen coming to Court were such, that his Majesty was constrained to issue a sort of order, that nig"e of those who bad bee, at the levee should come to the drawing room also, unless they had ladies on whom it was necessary for them to attend. It is hoped, that, from the superior accom modation in the state chambers of Hulyrood, no such ar. rangewirot will be called for here. No gentleman can come to the drawi■;•room without having been previously presented at a levee The proper object of the drawing room is ibe presentation of ladies. Ladies are introduced to the King either by ladies who have already been at Court, or by the Lord is Waiting. The Lady drops her trite (shoat four yards in length) when she enters the circle of the King. It Is held np by the Lord in Waiting till she is close to his Majesty. She curtsies. The King raises her up, and salutes ►er on the cheek. She then retires, always facing the Sovereign till she is beyond the circle. A considerable difficulty HI pre. mated to the inexperieeced by the Necessity of retiring (without assistance) backwards. The Ladies must exert their skill to move their trains quietly and neatly from be. Lind them as they retire; sad those who have never worn such dresses should lose so time in beginning to practise this. Most pliant must the situation be of a youug female who is so unfortunate as to makes faux. par on such an secasien. It was by no mesas so difficult when hoops were is &Aloe; bat sow that these have bero discarded, there is mottling to assist is keeping the train off the ground. The ladies cannot require to be informed that they must all appear in Court plumes and fans. At least nine feathers must be in rarh headdress. A "'mud Levee. and • second Drawing-room, will con. elude, for the preseat, the public appearances of his Ma jesty at Holyrood. Rut it is expected that be will gratify us by coming one nigh►, during his stay, to the theatre, where a proper box is to be prepared with all that gond taste for which Mr. Murray and Mrs. Siddoos have ever been die tinguished. It is understood that the King will pay short visits to the gallant Eel! of Hopetoun, the Marquis of Lothian. Lard Lie•teaaat of the County, Viscount Melville, sad some other distinguished characters in t►is neighbourhood. If the exertions now making continue, all the scaffolding for the accommodation of the different public bodies will be erected in the room of the present week. Workmen have began to fit up the gallery over the Royal Excbassge. Is the Parliament House the preparations for the banquet are of the moat splendid description, and it Is understood that it will not be inferior, either in respect of decoration's, or in the variety and excellence of the viands, to the feast given by the City of London to the allied Sovereigns, some years ago. The King's table is already prepared, in • semi.eiren lar form, under the great window of the Parliament House. At this table a select company of about 30 will sit; his Ma. jesty under • canopy the centre, with the Lord Provost un his right band. The project of a triumphal arch has been glvea up; and consequently, we understand, • larger sum of money will be applicable to the entertainment at Parliament House. A proposal fur the introduction of • choir his been under eon. sideratiou, and 100/. were Named as a provision fur bringing four vocal auxiliaries from Loudon. But as it was ton late to cosvey them down by water, the above sum nut being sufficient to defray their travelling expenses by land, we believe that the suggestion has altogether failed. This is to be remelted, since the presence of such olee singers es the Messrs. Royer' t, and one or two others of their circle, would have considerably enlivened • feast suck as the one in eon. templatio•. It is not according to etiquette, we believe, that any oratory should be introduced at a royal bouquet ; and the &lolling of the King's hesla, which will he the principal eip►ession of attsebmcnt to the King. cannot hit out the evening. The design of erecting gallarica for ladies, we rinderstand, has also bees •baadoned, on account of the expense which it would occasion; but this need forgo no objection to admitting them to the feast, after the man tic r of the citizens' wires in London, should the plan be approved of by his Majesty. If, however, there are to be no ladies, and no singiag, the least that coo be done will be to provide the best instrumental music which the city will afford. The Professional Society ought to be engaged; and, that his Majesty might hear some of the hest Scotch airs in their cumin! perfection, Goo's hand should be provided few this occasion. We have yet heard of none bat military music having been decided on. This can be no novelty to the• King. who retains in his household service the finest military band in Europe. The Peers of Scotland have agreed to give • ball in the Assembly Rooms, fur which 400 tickets will be i•siied, slot for which the most splendid preparations are maltose. We bare seen the design for the embellishment of the east end of the Assembly Rooms, which has been approved of by the Committee of Peers appointed to superintend the demotions, and it certainly exceed• in magnificence any thing which has been previously seen in Scotland. The arrangyme•ta in the interior of the Theatre Royal, for the accommodation of his Majesty, as in • state of forward ness, and reflect groat credit on the taste of oar spirited Manager. Two rooms will be splendidly fated up, through which his Majesty will pass on hips way to the Royal Box. HI. Majesty will enter ■t the hex-ogre, Ilse ulterwinue oa which, for this purpose, were commenced by Mr. Murray on Friday. .Of the easy superb preparations fir the approaching Royal visit, we have observed nothing to excel two beititifill ornaments, prepared by Mr. Sanderson, lapidary, and which we have just seen. They are intended fur the rose of the garter on the hoe of the leg, in the Highland dress intended to he worm at Court. They are set its fine gold, and are com ps* posed of rairregoru amethysts,•qua marines. diamonds, and subies, of the richest description, all of them the minister of our native island, and so arraoged as to form ft complete imitation of tartan.

I-IA7I, IaIDAY, AUGUST 9. EX PAITE CHELSEA HOSPITAL, IN THE HATTER OF -- ABBOTT A BANKRUPT. Mr. HEALD stated that this was • petition from the Right lion. Sir Charles Long, Treasurer of Chelsea Hospital, praying that the Under- Treasurer should be allowed to prove • lelst under the commissioo issued against the bankrupt. and also that the assignees already chosen should be superseded. . This was • claim in resprct of 11,074/. prize money, in . the hands of the bankrupt, doe to the army for the capture of the Saints. 'The Commissioners had refused to receive the proof of the debt offered by the Deputy Treasurer of Chelsea Hospital, and he (Nlr. Heald) was prepared to con tend, that they had, in so refusing, acted errone ously. The Learned Counsel referred to a clause of the Pr ze Act, whieb authorised the Treasurer et . Chelsea Hospital to appoint deputies to act in any port or place of the (hided Kingdom, for all the matters Nod purposes of the Act. Mr. Mu l l.. fur the sissignees, contended that the Under-Treasurer of Chelsea Hospital was a recog— nized public officer, in. existence long before Act of Parliament to whieb his Learned Friend (Mr. Heald) hsd referred. and certainly not ap pointed under it; ,XridOst reference to the 24th sec tion of the some Act, it, would be seen that all remedial powers were lodged in the hands of the Treasurer only. The Vice-CH*l.O;2.lAm concurred with Mr. Bell, that the Hepity-Tressurer for the general purposes ef the Hospital could not he understood to be meant in the clause which Mr. Heald had recited. With respect to superseding the mmig. nee*. the Court had never o►dered it where the Commissioners; acting hiroestfp, ;lough its mot. had not excluded by their inieteke 9-liniss of the bona fide creditor,. Now, in the present nue, if the proof Cw the Hospital wets admitted; it would but amount to 1-4,h . of the debts prosid, and there was uo imputatiou or error on the Commis sioners. Mr. MALD mid. of the assignees chosen, one was Mr. Fembrother (en auctioneer), who might understand very well how to knock down an estate, but who was of course very unacytt•inted with prize matters ; and the object was, as Greenwich Hospi tal and Chelsea Hospital were together creditors on this emote to the .mount of $,000i., Mid at least one assignee should be appointed having a know ledge of prize 'agency, thut their interests might be duly protected. I'ltr VIOL-CHANCELLOR said, that was a ques tion of the competency or incompetency of the assignees, which was not touched in the present petition ; but if any injury could be apprehended from the incompetency of the ussigitees, on it being so stated in a petition, the Court would act upr•l that ground. Mr. BELL said no such inconvenienc. could be apprehended, as no Lisowledge of prize bushier," Was necessary in the as.i4trees. Mr. HEALD said. lie would take the order 1. toe Treasurer to make the proof. Mr. BELL stud, that wait uunec 99999 y, a. h ss,, not dented but that the Treasurer might unskr Us,. proof.
