Ho s pital Yard, and_ in 'age, with four horses, and a troop of the same corps, drew up before the stains leading to the water. His Majesty immediately alighted, and an en thusiastic cheer burst from the hearts of all within view.— His Majesty took immediate notice of this grateful work of affection by repeatedly bowing. The following are the per sons who were on the beach, and had the honour to be close to the person of his Majesty when he alighted from his carriage t—The Governor, Sir Richard Keats ; the Lieute nant-Governor, Honourable Captain Browell ; Commissioner Sir George Grey ; Colonel Meres, the Commandant; Guard of Honour ; ColOnel 111‘Cleverty ; Major Lynn ; Captain Arding ; Captain Edge; Lieut. Hutcheson; Captain Larkins; Sir Thomas Thompson ; Commissioner Cunningham and Lady; Major Clapperton; Sir George Cockbhrn ; Sir Win. Congrevc ; Sir J. Brenton, &c. The King did not tarry long on the beach, but merely conversed a few minutes with those who were about him, and then proceeded down the steps and entered the bait; the Officers standing uncovered to receive him, and the men, of course, with oars to up. Without loss of time, however, they plied their oars, and his Ma jesty was alongside the yacht. During his progress their universal shouts rent the air,' whilst all the bands- struck up,, the national anthem. Those enthusiastic cheers were mingled with every expression of good will teriards the Sovereign, which it is in the rower of strong attach ment to devise, and they were answered by his Majesty frequently taking off his hat. On arriving at the yacht, his Majesty was assisted out of the barge by some of the Officers in attendance ; but he mounted the " accommodation ladder" without any aid, and with great alacrity. He was received on the gang-way by all the Officers on bcarel uncovered. In the centre of the group Was Earl St. Vincent, to whom his Majesty walked on and shook him cordially by the hand._ Having spoke with several of the officers, to most of whom he was introduced, he svallted the quarter-deck with the veteran Admiral for sonic minutes. Earl St. Vincentt, however, ap. pearing somewhat fati gue d, was kindly persuaded by his Ma jesty to sit down whilst he stood conversing with him. His Majesty scorned much struck at the appearance of the mul titudes that lined the opposite shores of the Isle of Dogs, to whom he frequently:. bowed, as well as to the Greenwich shores, whilst the loudest plaudits continued to fill the air from all sides. He a:so seemed to derive much satisfaction from the appearance of the yard-arms of different vessels crowded with persons anxi ous to get a view of their Sovereign: At twenty-five minutes be fore four, those noblemen, gentlemen, and officers,. who were on board, that did not accompany the King to Scotland, took their leave and left the vessel. His Majesty with that refinement of good breeding and natural kindness of heart, for which he is dis tinguished, gave his arm to Earl St. V intent, whilst he supported him from the quarter-deck to the gang-way on his taking leave. It was truly a gratifying "sight thus to see a Monarch in tire presence of his subjects, waving all distinctions of rank, and paying an almost filial mark of attention to an aged servant of the Crown. Trivial as the act in itself may appear, nothing can be more becoming to the Kingly station than this appropri ate display of affability, whilst nothing can more strongly point out the natural goodness of his Majesty's disposition, or the • rectitude of his jud g ment. Th e V enera bl e E ar l seemed fully sensible of his Majesty's flattering kindness and condescension. —On Earl St. Vincent arriving on shore, at the top of the steps near the beach, he was received with a salute by the ma rines and troops ; he turned round, with his face towards the Royal George, and exclaimed, in a.voice as loud as he could command, " Three cheers for the King." Three loud • cheers were given, and the old naval warrior appeared truly de lighted. The accommodation-steps were then hauled up, the port closed, and ev er y thi ng prepare d f or sailing. The sails, however, were not unfurled, as what little wind there was, was not favourable. At twenty minutes to four o'clock, the Comet steam-packet was attached to the Royal George ; the King informed the Commodore that he was prepared to sail, and the Comet's machinery was set in motion. The moment the Royal George. was observed to be moving down the river, the people cheered from both shores enthusiastically._ When tire King and his retinue were safely on board the Royal George, the state-barge of the Lord Mayo r of L on d on was unreroored and rowed to the Royal Sovereign steam-yacht, which vessel took her in tow, and proceeded to the centre of the river.—• Some delay occurred while the Royal - George was getting her anchor; but this being done, a hawser was made that from her bows to the Comet steam packet, appointed for that purpose, and at four o'clock the Royal yacht was in rapid motion.—The moment the Royal George moved from her an choratte, all the vessels, boats, and craft of every description on the river followed h er e x amp l e . Th e b oats were breaking away in every direction, and many of them had great difficulty in keeping clear of the larger craft. The Lord Mayor's barge (towed, as we have mentioned above,) by the Royal Sovereign, kept the lead.—Previous to this period, as the craft on the river were stowed so closely together to obtain a nearer view, they did not appear to be very numerous; but when they began to disperse, some towards London, but by far the g reater number for the purpose of ac companying the Royal George part of the way, they seemed to cover the whole face of the water to • the extent of at least a mile, and the scene was, in the highest degree, picturesque and grand. The King was observed for some time after he was on board to walk about unattended as one of the officers ! As the Royal yacht passed the numerous vessels, the crews manned the yards, and loudly cheered the King, who re turned the compliment by bowing repeatedly in themost affable manner. When about half-way between Greenwich and Black wall, the boatswain of the Royal George piped to man the yards, and almost in a moment, every top man was at his sta tion aloft, and all was ready to unfurl the sails. In this state she proceeded, receiving numerous salutes from the shore, and from vessels corning up the Ris er, until she arrived off the West India Docks, where she was greeted with a royal salute from a tier of guns planted for that purpose at the entrance to the docks. Hereabouts the King retired below for a short time, and having divested himself of his naval uniform, re appeared upon tyre quarter deck of his yacht in a plain blue surtout and travelling cap. Off the East India Docks a fine breeze sprung up, the sails of the Royal George were unfurled to the wind, and she stood before it in gallant style. WOOLWICH. This being the scat of a royal dockyard, as well ts of a royal ' arsenal, it was determined there to pay the usual marks of re spect as his Majesty passed ; and for this purpose order s w ere issued to Mr. Alex a nd er , th commander of the Alligator fri gate, which lay oft' th e ock, to fire a royal salute; for which purpose the necessary preparations were made, and the vessel herself was decorated with the royal standard and the other cus tomary British flags.—The artillery of the royal arsenal were also ordered to be in readiness, to pay a similar compliment, and were early on parade for that purpose. On the steeple of the church of Si . oolwich, as well as that of Greenwich and Deptford, was hoisted the standard of England. —A great portion of the inhabitants had proceeded to Greenwich to witness his Majesty's embarkation ; but still an im mense number were left b e hi n d, w h o too k their stations on the shore, to witness the Royal fleet, and to cheer it as it went by, At a quarter after five his Majesty passed Woolwich dock yard, and, as had been previously arranged, was saluted by discharges of artillery from the Alligator frigate in the River, and the artillery at the arsenal. The crowds assembled all along the shores cheering with all their might. The regiment quartered there (the Buffs) were drawn up in front of the King's yard and Royal Arsenal, and as the flotilla passed, the b an d played " God save the Kin g ," and the corps presented arms. rom the entrance of one of the dry docks a very large flag was suspended, bearing the inscription, " Long live King George the Fourth." The houses as well a s th e s h ore at this point were literally crammed with people, whc as the Royal flotilla passed, rent the air with their shouts. The yards of the' vessels•moored` off the town were manned by the respec tive crews ill their best apparel, and the rigging of each was covered with the colours of every nation. The church bells also rang a merry peal as the flotilla passed.—The Royal George, when she passed Woolwich, was followed only by se veral steam-yachts, no sailin g , vessel being able to k ee p u p with her. When near th e Half-way house to Gravesend, the wind increased, and she kept her course for sonic time close hauled ; when, having the breeze right abaft, her studding sails were set, and she soon distanced every thing. The tow ing of the Comet was no longer necessary, although she still kept her station, and the James Nlratt, with all her power of machinery in operation, did not shoot a-head. The beautiful yacht of the Marquis of Anglesea was towed immediately astern of the Royal George, by the King of the Netherlands steam-packet. The King remained upon deck until it was nearly dark, and returned - the greetings from the numerous vessels which passed him, with his usual affability. Ac each vessel which accompanied the royal squadron from Greenwich quitted it to return ..o London, the respective companies cheered his Majesty with loud hums, and God save the King" was sung as the Royal George passed,—a compliment which was acknowledged in a very earnest manner by the King. GRAVESEND. The interest excited by the expected approach of his Ma jesty to this place, in his way to the Nore, was scarcely less ardent than that which we have described as having ex isted at Greenwich. The same disappointment which occur red at Greenwich, too, was experienced here, and for two days the inhabitants of the surrounding country were kept in suspense. Every possible demonstration of respect had been determined on, and each day, from Thursday morning, flags were displayed from the church steeple and the town hall, as well as from every elevated building.—All the ships and smaller craft in the river, were likewise dressed in flags of every description. Yesterday tuoming, as early as, ten o' c lo c k, th e company began 'again to flow into the town, and in a short time all thpistalsleic , tvere filled; The visitors ifinnediately proceeded to the banks of the river, and to such ele vated places as presented themselves on the shore. The ter race above the Bathing-house, especially, was thronged . . with spectators; who, throughout the morning, kept casting " long and lingering looks" towards 'London. As the tide re ceded, hope became extinguished, and at las: it was concluded that the multitude was destined to a third mortification, and many actually resolved to return home, and laugh at those who had the folly to remain. The arrival in the town, however, of the Chatham division of marines from that place excited new hope—and many wavering 'dispositions were resolved to wait the issue. The marines, which were under the command of Colonel Christie, immediately marched to a point of land be low the battery, where they piled 'arms and remained at their posts, while their officers rode towards Northfieet, in order to have the earliest view of the approach of the Royal yacht.— I In Tilbury Fort preparations were made to fire a salute, for i which - purpose a small detachment of artillery was sent for. —At six o'clock, those who had been stretching their tele- I scopes the whole of the day towards the Long Reach, in the hope of being able to afford consolation to the impatient throng, announced the thrice welcome intelligence that they were en abled to distinguish the smoke of the steam vessels by which it was known the Royal yacht was to he accompanied.— Every moment now added to the certainty of his Majesty's approach ' • and by the naked. ey e i t was soon seen that the Royal yacht preceded by a considerable distance the sailing vessels by which it bad been accompanied on its departure from Greenwich. The salute fired at Woolwich had been distinctly heard at twenty. minutes to five, so that the cer tainty of his Majesty's embarkation was fully ascertained.— Every five minutes now offered fresh consolation, and the agi tation of the assembled throng increased. The cry of •` Ile's coming," became general, and the joy evinced on the occa sion sufficiently manifested the:pleasure derived from the cir ' et:instance by the multitude. The Marines were now drawn up in two bodies, on distinct points of land, fronting Graves. end Hope, with their respective bands, and their officers took their respective stations. All now might be said to be on " the tip-toe" of expectation, and all ranks seemed to be at tuning their lungs in order to add their mite to the general ex pression of exultation. At halfspast six the Yacht was stated to have reach ad Greenhithe, and shortly after s e ve n it was seen to enter Northfleet Hope. Precistaly.twenty minutes after seven, the Sovereign steam vesseL Lowing the Lord Mayor's barge in the most masterly style, liaised Tilbury Fort, keeping the centre of the River, and the hand on board playing " God save the King." At this'moment the bands of the Marines on shore joined in the favourite Anthem, and the myriads on the shore commenced a loud and enthusiastic cheer.— In a few minutes after the Royal yacht came down in the most majestic style, towed by the Comet, and surrounded by upwards of a hundred boats, which had set out from Gravesend to meet it. His Majesty was. on deck, and was repeatedly cheered. fie appeared to be highly delighted, and repeat edly bowed his thanks. As his Majesty passed the fort, a royal salute was fired, and the marines presented arms. All the vessels which had left Greenwich with his Majesty were completely distanced ; and those which persevered in following bins did not reach Gravesend for an hour afterwards. The Corporation of Gravesend and Milton had prepared an Address to be presented to his Majesty ; but from the dif ficulty which would necessarily exist of presenting it to him on his passage, it was resolved that it shoull be conveyed through the medium of Lord Darnley, who is Steward of the Corpo ration. SOUTH END. The most anxious expectation prevailed in this town throughout the whole of yesterday, on the subject of his Majesty's approach. Several pleasure boats, filled with the temporary visitors to the place, as well as the inhabitants, were on the water the whole of the morning, and again em barked in the evening. It was nine o'clock, however, before the feelings of the multitude -were gratified, and at that hour the Lord Mayor's barge, closely followed by the Royal yacht, was faintly , seen from the shore; and at that same moment the report of a salute fired from the garrison at Sheerness, ,an nounced his Majesty's arrival at the Nore. At this point the Lord Mayor took his leave of the Royal George, amidst loud cheers, his Majesty i nt i mat i ng hi s sense of iis Lordship's loyal and respectful attention,- by repeatedly bowing and kiss inr•b his hand. The L or d M ayor t h en commenced his return to the metropolis. A fresh breeze now followed the calm which had previously prevailed, [and his Majesty proceeded into the channel amidst the prayers and good Wishes of his affectionate subjects.

[Prom the Caledonian Mercury of Aug. 8. - - - HOLYROOD HOUSE.—Preparations are making in the Pa lace of Holyrood House for the reception of his Majesty ; the apartments are admirably arranged for the purpose they are so soon to be put to; and we hear that few of the palaces in his Majesty's possessionafford soniuch convenience for the:reception and presentation of company. It is intended that the compan y are to be ushered into the great picture gallery, there to remain till their turn arrives. They are then to proceed through the suite of rooms on the east, which look into St. Ann's-yards, and also through those on the south side, which look into the square. At the end of these is the presence chamber, where the throne is erected. The ceiling of this room has been neatly painted, of a light brown, or fawn colour, and the walls covered with fine scarlet cloth, with rich gold mould ings all round the room. There the company will be presented to the King, and retire by a separate door.— The room prepared for giving private audience is immediately next to the presence chamber ; it is very elegantly fitted up, as are also the dressing room and retiring room, into which there is made a direct access from the private road. Yesterday the Most Noble the Marquis of Lothian, and the Right Hon. Lord Melville, visited Dalkeith Palace, and inspected the arrange ments made for his ,Majesty's reception, (every thing being complete) with which they expressed themselves highly pleased. —"Yesterday twelve pieces of ordnance were placed on the sum mits of the Calton Hill, fronting the south, west, and north, and tents pitched for the artillerymen.

At a numerous meeting of the County of Edinburgh, held on Monday, the :Marquis of Lothian, the Lord Lieutenant, in the Chair, the Earl of Morton moved that a dutiful and loyal address should be presented to his Majesty, on occasion of his visit to Scot land, and produced an address, which his Lordship read and proposed should be adopted by the meeting. The Earl of Roseberry having, in an eloquent speech, seconded the motion, the same was usanimously agreed to.—Yesterday the Students attending the University held a meeting in the natural philosophy class-room, when they resolved, that, on the occasion of the procession of his Majesty, they should wear either blue or black coats, and that each colour should form a body by itself.— The Society of.

They will turn out about 300 strong. The society was instituted in 1750 for benevolent purposes.

The Gardens boasted a considerable number of de gantly-driased promenaders. POETRY. APOSTROPHE TO GREECE. Oh, Greece ! thou fairy-land of school-boy hours, Thou earthly paradise of youthful dreams— How have I rambled through thy classic bowers, And hung in fancy o'er thy fabled streams ! And now again the sun of glory gleams From its pure heaven ; and Victory's angel smiles And all that valour deems immortal beams Around thy lovely vales and sunny isles; And hosts are met again, in thy unstained defiles ; And heroes, as of old, undaunted rise, . Call'd to the battle for thy hearths and fanes ; And banners float in thy unruffled skies, And warlike m:isic echoes from thy plains, And swords leap forth at the inspiring strains : Who would not rush to combat for thy sake— When she they love of forcign yoke complains ! Oh Europe ! may thy valiant spirit wake And the oppressor from his grasp of bondage shake ! LEWES RACES EXTRAORDINARY.—The ground was co vered at an early hour with carriages, horsemen, and pedestrians. Three horses were to start, but as one was suddenly taken ill; another bolted from' the starting-post. The rider of the turd turned his courser's head, and jogged off' to his master's stsb!es, which w ere on l y a few miles distant. We have learned that the company retired highly grazifed with their sport. SECOND EDITION. Stiti-OFFICE,iIALr-rA3T Two o'CLoci-:.

The cow, making every exertion to liberate herself from her unwelcome visitor, broke both his jaws, and literally tore the teeth,oat of his. head. The dog, nevertheless, made repeated attempts, to ' regain his hold, racing the cow many times roend ttie ground, . and catching her by the nose ; but being unable Again.-to hold her, it excited the surprize of his master. The sow at length sprang over a double hedge, followed by the dog, who was stopped by Serjeant Wade, and it being ascertained that his jaws were broken, he was immediately, strangled. • . ..
