EDINBURGH, FRIDAY NIGHT, AUG. 16. Last night the liege men of the North were gratified by the most brillkant display of fireworks ever seen in Scotland. A large scaffold was erected at the west end of George's-street, close to the rails of Charlotte-square. The concourse was immense; filling the whole street as, far as the Assembly Rooms, and all seemed highly delighted and in, great good humour with the exhibition. The illumination has just begun. Our City is certainly the hest calculated for such a sight of any in the world. The appearance of the lights in the high irregular buildings of the Old Town, looking into Princes -street, have a most picturesque effect, more particularly to those who have Seen in the habit of contemplating them merely as a high, dark,. irregular mass. The regular streets of the New Town are lighted with more brilliancy but have scarcely so fine an effect. The public buildings and m'any of the houses of the Nobility and Gentry, with Club Rooms, Newspaper Offices, &c. disilay appropriate transparencies • and devices. Among the most prominent we remark the following:— Custom House—A Star, .with the Rose,. Thistle, and Sham rock. Excise Office—The Cross of St.-Andrew, between Thistles, IV. It. surmounted' by the Crown—lnseription, " Salve pater patrite," Royal Bank and- British Linen Company's Bank—Devices the same as the Excise Office—lnsqipcion, " Long live the King." As these two buildings form wings to the Excise Offiee, the toat ensemble has the effect of one immense building uni formly decorated. New Club House, St. Andrew's-square—Star of the Order of the Thistle, with a rich festoon. Sir Ml. Shaw Stewart's House, in Queen-street—The Crown —lnscription, " For ever." Union Club, Queen-street-4nacription, Hurra." Assembly Rooms, George-street, front of the. Portico—Crown auO Thistle, G. IV. It., on the sides, diamond of coloured lamps. The House of the Lord Provost, Charlotte-square.—Brilliant Stars between each window—lnscription, " Righ abin go brath." . • - Sheriff Dan's, Charlotte-square.—Crown and Star, G. R.— Inscription; .". God save the• King." Tax Office, Princes-street.—Crown, Stars, and Festoons. Bank Of Seotland-Crown and Stars, Cr. IV. IL flanked with diamonds. The pillars of the building surrounded with spiral wreaths Of coloured laMps. •• • • : • , . Courant Ofiniee:—CroWn and Star, G. IV. R.—lnseripticin; " Wekome to Auld Reekie." • . . .- • Register atrice—Crown, Sword and Mace, Palm and Olive Branches Rose, Shamrock, and Thistle the whole surmounted wii a brilliant Star-raised on the top of Parapet. Centre Groupe of the North side of Charlotte-square, con sisting of-the houses of Lord Justice Clerk, flanked by that of Sir John Majoribanks on the left, and Mr. ,Polish on' the right; forms one grand mass, consisting of the Crown, with G. IV. It. in the centre, with the Rose and Thistle in a wreath below—luscription, " God save the King," " Happy may he live," " Long may he reign." Mr. Trotter's, Princes-street.—A splendid Rose, Thistle, and Crown—Transparency, the Royal Arms. The Centre Buildings of the Regent's Bridge most splendid ly illuminated with the emblems of Royalty, and of the Na don, to correspond with each other. Physicians' Hall—Crown, Stars, and -Festoons.

Monteith, M. 1"., surrounded by the bales and hogstieads of the Magnates of that opulent city. In the distance, a cotton-mill and smoke cone; the City Arms on a shield. The whole seems hitherto to go on joyously, lhit peaceably, and from every indication at present, it is confidently expected that it will go off without confusion or riot. ARRIVAL OF THE KING AT DALSEITH.—His Majesty has been received in this town with manifestations of the most perfect loyalty and attachment. The people assembled in crowds to hail the arrival their Sovereign, and at night_ a general illumination took place with a grand display of fireworks. Numerous bonfires blazed on all the surrounding hills, and in short every thing was done to testify the joy of the. people generally.at his Majesty's visit. His Majesty had yes terday a selectparty to - dine with him, consisting principally' of the great Officers . of the Household, with 'three or foal-ether distinguished Persim?.ges. The grounds and scenery around. this town cannot, it is presumed, fail to - accord with his MA-• jesty's approved taste, and we way venture to hope, that he will be induced to prolong his sojourn with us at least for some days beyond the very short period he has prescribed to himself. His. Majesty arrived from Edinburgh at half-past three o'clock, in a close carriage, and a guard of honour lined the streets as he passed along. ' EDINBURGH, SATURDAY, AUG; 17. His. Majesty arrived in town from Dalkeith early this morn ing in his travelling chariot and four horses, accompanied by the Marquis of Conynham and the Earl of Winchelsea, and alighted at Holyroodhouse, at a quarter past ten, preparatory to the Levee which was this day opened at 12 o'clock. Along the streets on the line appointed for carriages, were placed di visions of the Scotch fifty's to prevent interruption, and the _ Court-yard of the Palace was occupied by the archers ; 'some companies of the 13th Foot,and 3 bands of music played national airs, both in the front -court and lawn. At twelve o'clock the -carriages began to set down. All the Officers of State, Judges, and Law Officers 9f the Crown had precedence, by a different entry from that to the public in front : 140 carriage 3 conveyed the nobility and gentry to his Majesty's • Levee ; the greater part.of the company were dressed inn militarynniform. The whole of .the Nobility whose names were mentioned in the pro cession of Majesty's entrance were in attendance, as well as the principal Gentlemen of the -Scottish Bar and Church.— His Majesty seemed in better spirits than he was on the day of his a great crowd occupied the avenues to the Palace, but the utmost order prevailed. His Majesty yesterday received several visitors at Dalkeith ; among them were the young Duke of Buccleuch, the Duke of Doaset, the Marquis of Lo thian, and Earl of Winchilsea; the Eaals of Fife and Lauder dale, and Lord Melville; had a long audience. The King, at 7 o7clock, had a select party to dinner. The principal officers on duty at the palace this week are the Earlof HoPetoun, Captain-General, Sir GeorgF Mackenzie,' Sir David and Lietitionant • General Sir John Rope. The illuminations list night were uncommonly brilliant, the streets were crowded to excess, and the theatre closed at nine o'clOck. The appearance of the, illuminations was extremely grand from the elevated ground about the city. Rockets and discharges of artillery and small firms were repeatedly fired from the Castle, Calton H ill, Salisbury . Craigs, Leith battery, and the ships of war, and the vivid flashes from these gloomy (bights had a sublime effect. It is most gra tifying to add, that the whole of these rejoicings passed off with out the occurrence of any serious accident. The civic feast will. be given to his Majesty on Thursday next, the Peers' ball on Friday, and the ball of the Caledonian Hunt on the Monday following. The King, it is expected, will attend. these balls ; but it is doubted whchier he will lay the first stone of the na tional monument on Calton Hill. There is a carriageway as cending within a dozen yards of the spot, so that the ceremony might be performed without any great personal inconvenience t t o o l his d lY a l y a s j . enty. It is said that the • King's stay will bliimited ( From the Edinburgh Advertiser qf Friday, August 16.) His Majesty left the Palace for Dalkeith, at half-past three, ' and as he stept into his'earriage, he called Lord Lviiedoch to him, and expressed, in the hearing of many individuals, the great satisfaction he had experienced to-day, and stated, that he had never been more gratified in his lifetime, particu larly with the admirable arrangements that had been made. —Soon after four o'clock, his Majesty enter,d Dalkeith ; he was in a close carriage, and passed to the. pulaee at a quick. pace, 'amidst the loudest cheers .of the people, and waving of handkerchiefs from - the windowS. A handsome triumphal arch had been erected at the entranec to the High-street, beautifully, decorated with flowers and fruits,_ ,surmounted by a lz.rge crown with, the motto, " God save the King ;" at night a brilliant illumination took place. The Scots Greys patroled the roads in the vicinity of . the Palace during the night, and a small cf the third Regiment of Foot. Guards are in attendance. Vith regard, to the number of spectators who were yester day gratified with a Sight of their Sovereign, the very circum stance of the grotind being so eminently favourable to admit of their seeing him distinctly, prevented the possibility of esti mating their number'in a manner at all approaching to accu racy ; but we may readily suppose that of our own popula tiJo, including Leith, not less than 90,000 saw their King ; that the rest of the country at least supplied 10,000; that of the inhabitants of Glasgow, whs from the first intimation of his Majesty's intention not to visit the - West of Scotland, have displayed uncommon eagerness in coming to our city, it is generally admitted there weronot fewer than 50,000 ; these numbers- put together make 150,000 ; and ' supposing that the whole of Scotl a nd besides - .did not send more than the Metropolitan county and the two principal cities; there must thus have been three hundred thousand of his Majesty's Scot tish subjects who saw him within the short space of two hours,. and all these independently of a •erreat 'number from the• northern counties of ..ngland. The day was. reMarlXablY fine, the amazing crowd sepaeatod in the best possible order, and we are happy to-add that Trot a single accident has come to our knowledge. At -night a - brilliant display of fire works:took place in Charlotte-square, which excited much admiration, And, obtained repected applause. It was indeed one of 'the finest exhibitions of the kind ever witnessed in Edinburgh. His Ma jesty will hold his first Levee to-morrow, and the Drawing room will take Place on 'Tuesday. ' On Monday he will receive addresses on • the Throne. Royal Standards are displayed On . the Castle and Salisbury Crags, and the Union is flying. od Nelson's Monument and the Artillery stations on the Calton Hill, and will continue during his Majesty's stay. ( From the E4.l;:turg:l4 Observer of Saturday.) His Majesty expressed his great delight at his reception, and at the appearance of the city and people, to several persons to whom we have spoken. We yesterday heard, from the best authority, that his. Majesty, was quite confounded with delight, at the first appearance of Leith. At Holyroiid House his Ma jesty said, that " he had been often told the Scotch were proud; and well they might be'," added he, " they seem to me to be a nation of gentlemen." One circumstance, we are proud to Men tion, as it gives a better idea of the characteristics of the_Scot-. tish people, than volumes written on the same subject would convey ; there is not one single record on the police books cf this metropolis, .of any offence committed . against the laws, since his - Majesty has been in,Seotland. , [From the Edinburgh Cokrant' . Ang: 17.] - His Majesty had otr• Thursday a select party to dine with him, consisting principally of the great Officers of the House hold, with three or, four other .distinguished personages.— Yesterday ,the Earla bf.

LOIC IfUNTINGTO:WFR V. GAlipliEß.. This was an action under the Bribery Act, to recover from the Defendant, Thomas Gardner, r. penalty of 4001. The prQ ceeding arose out of certain acts done in the Ilorough of U- . cheater, at the . late election, in the year 1820 ; Gardner being charged with having taken a bribe of 30/. (such payment going , in Ilchester by the cant term of horse-radish), for voting in , favour of Sir Isaac Coffin and Dr. Lushington, in opposition to two other candidates, Mr. A.Manners and Mr. L. Mannera • , Mr. J. Healey was an attorney by profession, and avowedly the electioneering agent of Lord Huntingtower. His Lordship , • believing that the Ilchester election had bee n i n fl u en ce d by e corrupt practices employed as to the voters, :was anxious to prosecute any offenders who could be discovered; and 'Mr. Healey contrived to extract an admission from Gardner that he • had received his " horse radish," in amount 301. The defend. ' ant,was a man in low employment, and of little education ; and lk had made the statement as to his being bribed to 'the witness, Mr. Healey, under a clear impression that it was not ' likely to be used against him. The election took place it March 1820, and the bribe was received in the following St• . tember.—Verdict for the plaintiff.
