EDINBURGH, WEDNESDAY, THREE O'CLOCK. A. Telegraphic Dispatch, at three o'clock this morning, announced the appearance of the Royal squadron off St. Abb's Head, and at an early hour the Calton Hill and other high grounds in the vicinity of Edinburgh began to be spotted with people. The morning was fine, but a thick fog hanging over the mouth of the Firth, prevented the squadron from being seen till about nine o'clock, at which hour they were descried between North Berwick La;.* and the Isle of Ma;'. By ten o'clock, the top of the Calton was crowded. with spectators, but the fog bad become so dense, that our re porter, even with the assistance •of a very excellent telescope, politely lent him at the Observatory on the Calton Hill, was unable to learn the number of vessels. About clever. o'clock, One of the squadrons and the battery on the Bass saluted each other, and the white smoke being distinctly - seen through the black fog, which had a very picturesque appearance, left no doubt of the actual approach of his. Majesty. The ascertain.' ing of this fact was followed by enthusiastic cheers. About twelve, the Royal Yacht towed by two steam vessels was seen to emerge from the fog, and at a quarter past twelve, the ships of war in Leith Roads fired a salute. At this time the Royal yacht and the vessels in the Roads were about five or six miles from each other. The Royal yacht now glided smoothly up the Firth, aided by the flowing tide and a light breeze at East. • The sky began to be overcast, and at one o'clock, the signal guns announcing that his Majesty would land in five hours, were fired from the Castle and Calton. All Edinburgh was now in commotion—every person flew to his post—High land Clans, regiments of dragoons and yeomanry cavalry, with the Officers of State and other official personages to be engaged in the procession, assembled at the mustering place at the east end of Queen-street. The Lord Provost's carriage, with six horses in splendid liveries, was drawn up in front of the Royal Exchange, accompanied by the Civic Tail, (the fashionable word for any person or thing that follows), ready to deliver over the Keys of the City, at a barrier erected at the top of Leith walk. All the windows in the streets through which the pro cession was to pass, were speedily filled, chiefly with fashionable females, splendidly dressed, while the streets themselves present ed a bustling mass, every person repairing to the place where he might see the imposing ceremonies. 'Unfortunately, however, it began to rain heavily, and it has continued to do so ever since, so that the spectacle will be deprived of its beauty and much of its comfort. The platform at Leith pier is laid with drab and crimson, and the covered way by which his Majesty ascends from his barge to the platform is very convenient. Five o'Clock.—Owing to the continued heavy rain, his Ma jesty has delayed his landing till to-morrow, and should it be as unfavourable, a further delay will take place. The officir.l announcement of this intelligence was received with marked signs of disappointment by the official and civic procession in Queen-street ; nor were the Tails of the Chiefs less vexed, as they returned marching to the mixed sound of the piebracht and the pattering rain. The flowers and trappings which adorned the ladies who filled the windows and balconies along the line of procession, also suffered not a little. ROYAL OBSERVATORY, CALTON HILL, AUG. 14. The wind has been all the morning about 'south-west, but very light ;at about half-past 11 the hulls of some vessels were indistinctly seen, but owing to the haze nothing positive could be ascertained • about twelve th e w i n d s h i f ted to the south, and the haze began to clear away ; at a quarter past twelve the Royal yacht, towed by two steam boats, with her sails furled, was distinctly seen, the small er s t eam -b oat fi rst w i th sail set; and at this time the vessels in the Roads fired a salute; forty minutes past twelve the wind blew a fine gentle breeze from the south. The yacht still in tow, without any sail set, and nearing very fast ; six vessels in company under sail, besides two steam boats. The steam boats having the yacht gaining on the vessels under sail. The Calton Hill at this moment presents one of the finest scenes imaginable, owing to the immense crowd ; 50 minutes past 12, it now rains a little. One o'clock, it still rains and is hazy • five minutes past on e , tw o guns fi re d front the Calton Hill andi two from the Castle; the yacht and steam boats bearing about direct south from Inchkeith. The crowd upon the Calton Hill is now dispersing very fast ; and great numbers are proceeding down to Leith in all directions ; 13 minutes past 1, about a troop of the Scots Greys axe passing by the new London-road to Leith. It is now much clearer and the rain has ceased, and a troop of the 3d Dragoons is passing in front of the gaol into town, and lining the streets; nine teen minutes past one, th e y ac h ts , accompan i e d by two steam boats, are between Inchkeith and the Beacon, near. the mouth of Leith Harbour ; it rains a little again. At twenty-five minutes past one, the smallest steam vessel left the yacht, she being at this moment to the west of the Beacon ; 29 minutes past 1, the ships in the Road's saluted again, and also the guns at Leith Fort ; at 36 minutes past 1, the other steam boat left the yacht, and she came to anchor outside the Guard-ship; 47 minutes past 1, the wind has shifted to the S.W. with every appearance of heavy rain ; it has already begun. The yacht is completely surrounded with small boats, but it is so hazy that nothinecan be distinctly seen ; 10 minutes past two, it rains pretty hard, and is so hazy that the vessels in the Roads are scarcely visible, and the people are leaving the Calton-Hill very fast. A band of Highlanders has just passed by the gaol to Holyroodhouse. Thirty-seven minutes past 2, the yeomanry are passing down Leith-Walk, and a band of Highlanders, dressed in green, with yellow feathers in their bonnets, are passing the front of the gaol, from Holyroodhouse, and ,„Poing down by the old roa d f rom the Calton-Hill to Leith-Walk, down which they are proceed ing ; '46 minutes past 2, the haze is a little removed, but no thing can be discovered of what is going on, on board or about the yachts. The troops are leaving their posts on Leith-Walk. Immediately after the smoke of the second salute had cleared away, the person of his Majesty w as di s ti nct l y seen on t h e quarter-deck, and cheered by some boats which were passing;'.

On Thursday last Visdount Newry, assisted by five of his own servants (men not accustomed to the work) for a consider able war, accomplished the herculean task of rowing f rom Ox ford to London in 18 successive hours. The boat left Oxford in the morning, exactly as Great Tom struck three, and arriv ed the same evening at Godfrey and Searle's Wharf, Surrey side of Westminster Bridge, one minute and a half before nine, winning the bet by the minute and a half only. ills Lordship and crew, by an incessant application of 18 hours to the oar, were, on arriving, as may be naturally expected, in. a state of great exhaustion; they however performed the und erta ki ng i n a gallant and masterly stile. When we consider the time ne cessarily lost in passing the numerous locks, we b e li eve an instance of greater skill and prowess is scarcely to be found on record ; but Lord Newry is famed - far manly and athletic exercises and laborious employments, which constitute his or dinary amusements.

This curtailment has been effected so judiciously that there is now no doubt of a successful run for the drama.— Several of the pieces of music were encored, and the splendid scenery and dresses were much ad mired. The performers exerted themselves greatly, and Mr. BARTLRY announced " Gil Bias" for repetition every evening amidst loud applauses.

This man became ill, and applied for a phy sician, which the Czar granted. The physican prescribed Cnenzor Tortoni. The Doctor had scarcely got home, when he was arrested and carried before the Minister, who, as soon as he entered, addressed him very angrily,. calling him a traitor, threatening the severest punishment, exclaiming; " You dog, what have you been talkin g t o th e P o l e a b out the Crim Tartars ?" The Doctor, who stood motionlesS with astonishment, now comprehended the misunderstanding arising from the report made by some listeners to the Minister, and explained it by sheaving the prescription which he had left with the patient.

On • one part of the stone is paint ed the day of judgment, and on the other the passage of the Israelites through the Red Sea. The figures ate in good style of colouring, similar to that used by the German painters 7 im mediate successors of Albert Dur er . Th e art i s t has inge niously expressed the clouds and water by the natural tints of the stone, which represent with great effect the wall of water sus pended for a passage to the Israelites, and the waves rolling back on Pharoah and his host. The artist, whose name was John King, has drawn his own portrait lying at the feet of the Pope among the blest in Heaven. An extraordinary circumstance occurred last week at Messrs. Russell and Co.'s waggon office in this city, which excited considerable alarm in the neighbourhood. Some chests be longing to the Manager of the Exeter Theatre were left there to be forwarded to Weymouth,. preparatory to which their weight was about to be ascertained, according to the usual practice. The warehouseman who was superintending the weighing of one of the chests suddeilly observed a smoke issue from it, and had scarcely time to heti= his employers of the circumstance, when an explosion, accom panied with a hissing noise,. like that of a wheel-rocket took place within, which for c ed open " one side of the dest.-- This occasioned considerable -,alarni, and to guard against any latent danger, the chest was removed into the street ; but so much was the rumour spread, and so magnified by: repetition, that two fire-engines were promptly brought to the premises. The chest, ou being opened, was. found - to contain theatrical dresses, and a preparatiOn for making what is termed " Greek fire, ". which, by friction, or some other cause, had taken . fire, and entirely destroyed tie other contents of the chest, ' which were of considerable value. This was the e x te n t o f -th e acc ide n t ; b ut i t i s ex . tremely fortunate that it occurred in the day-time, when per sons were on the spot ; had it happened 'at night, or on the road to its destination, the event aright have been serious.--(Evetcr Flying Post.) • _ Method of destroying .a. Shark.—The Shark is such an enemy to our sea-faring brethren , _ that sailors hav e as little compassion for this animal as-he has tbr them. 'This sea-tiger follows a vessel for several days, and snaps at and swallows indiscriminately every thing thrown into the •sea. • The sailors, taking advantage of this propensity, heat a brick flaming hot, which they cover with sail-cloth dipped in oil very thick, and, binding it tight with twine, throw it over board. The greedy glutton swallows it at a venture, and con ceives it to he nothing more than a gentle stomachic. In a few minutes, however, the sea is all in a foam with hi s dyi ng an d spasmodic convulsions, and the upturned white belly of the monster proclaims to the delighted mariners that the hour of his tyranny is over. PROFITS.--A Gentleman residing near this city (Chester), not being able to obtain a remunerative price from a butcher for his sheep and lambs, commissioned a person to kill them, , and retail the joints 'to the poor at 3d per pound ; by this proceeding, he not only rendered service to the indigent, but obtained a much greater price f or hi s stoc k t h an the butcher had offered him.—(Chester Guardian.) On Thursday a child between three and four years of age, belonging to Mrs. Routh, No. 9 - , King-street, Golden-square, was burnt to death by its clothes faking fire. A gentleman pass ing the house was alarmed by the shrieks of the child,- but too late to render it any assistance. The mother left her kitchen for a few minutes, when the catastrophe occurred. The child was taken to Middlesex Hosiiitil, where it died shortly after. A Coroner's Jury sat on the body yesterday, and returned a verdict of Accidental Death. • MERWLTILE.SHIPPING. . .

TECTION OF THE THIEF.- GUILDHALL.-,Between two and-three o'clockin the morn ing of Saturday the 27th of July last, the family of Mr. Laurie, mapseller, No. 53, Fleet-street, was alarmed by the watchman, who on going his rounds, found the outer door of the house open.; and upon examining the premises, thes,Qunting-house had been broken into, the desks opened, ,and property to the amount of 23/. in notes and upwards, and forty sove reignS- taken - away. It was evident, from- all the circum stances, that the robbery must have been effected, by some per son within the house, and Charles Robinson, a lad in the ser vice of Mr. Laurie, was taken up on suspicion; but discharged, nothing appearing upon his examination 'to .criminate him.— Suspicion then fell upon two chimney-sweepers; who it appears were sent by Robinson to sweep the chimnies of Mr. Laurie's -house, alleging that he was desired to engage them to do so.-- They were taken into custody on their arrival at Mr. Laurie's house. Robinson was found watching on the other side of the way for their coming out, and the whole three were brought up before Mr. Alderman Brown, at this office., - Thomas Seekins, the elder of the two chimney sweeps, stated, that Robinson met him and the boy that was with him in the Strand on Monday last, and told him to apply at Mr. Laurie's to sweep the kitchen chimney, and to say, if they were asked, that they came from Mr. Brown, of Water-lane. lie then de stribed to them the situation of the copper fiuerand told them they would find a small bag there with sonic money in it ; and if they got the job and brought the bag to him, he agreed to give them two sovereigns for their trouble. This same story he had told at the time he was apprehended, and in the presence of the prisoner, who then made no reply to the charge. The bag with its contents was produced ,a i nd sworn to by Mr. Laurie. The Prisoner was accordingly committed to Newgate for trial, and Seekins bound over to give evidence against him. FATAL EFFECTS OF SEDUCTION. TOWN HALL, SOUTHWARK.—A young female, of very prepossessing appearance, who gave her name Jan e A n d rews , was re-examined on a charge of robbing her ieady-furnished lodgings at •the house of Mrs. Newth, • Suffolk-street, St. George's-fields. It appeared that the prisoner, who is a 'young woman of good fathily, became the victim of a fellow Who; under a pro mise-of instant marriage, prevailed on her to quit the house of her parent, and to retire with him to lodgings he had taken. Having her thus in his power, he informed her with an air of great concern, that unfortunately theirnuptials must be delayed for a few days, in consequence of an important affair which he had in hand, and which would affect his, pecuniary arrange ments in a considerable degree ; but as soon as ever the matter was settled nothing on earth should prevent their marriage.— By means such as these he easily won .on ,the credulity of the simple girl, and finally accomplished her destruction. lie then began to grow more cold, and when she ventured to talk of marriage, he always urged the unsettled state of his business as an excuse to avoid the subject. At length he left her alto gether without money; arid in debt: In'thi s trying situation, •she.reskved tO give up the apartment iihe'was in and look fur cheaper, as she was both ashamed and afraid to go back to her friends; at, that time the prosecusrix had a furnished room to let, and the prisoner 'took it, and mqved into it immediately, :tr•tistingto Providence for the means-of existence in f u t ure —f or al that' time she had but a mere trifle, which she had raised upon her clothes. However, this soon went, and she was quite destitute along time she withstood the attacks bf hunger, and the temptations of theft; but at length she yielded to the latter. She carried the bolster and pillows out of the house secretly, and pawned them at a shop - where she' and her family were well known, and where the transaction caused an extraordinary sen sation, as the former were known to stand in no need of such assistance; however, she recefved 'what she asked, and nothing 'was said. The blankets, &c. next began to disappear, until at length the landlady's suspicions became roused, and she insisted on searching the room. On this the prisoner, with streaming eyes, confessed her misfortunes and her crime, and readily gave up the duplicates to the officer. She hatLietidentally mention ed name and place of abode of her parents, and Mrs. Newth thought it her duty to send to them ; the poor People had long 'been inquiring after her, and it is a remarkable fact that th e same morning brought iem the intelligence, that their (laugh ter was a criminal at the bar of public justice,-and her infa mous seducer, a married man with - several 'children ! Mr. Newth, not wishing to prosecute, did licit attend, and after being called in the usual way, the prisoner was told she was discharged. The Magistrate, with . great feeling, pointed - out to her the narrow escape she had just had from being ranked with the vilest and the basest herds of society. Ile trusted that the re collection of her past misconduct would inspire her with thos e feelings of humility and piety, which were at all times the true criterion of a repentant spirit.—She then walked - away, leaning on the arm of her mother. An instance of extraordinary powers in a fe male is observable at this time sit button, near Oundle. A woman born deaf and dumb, and who is nearly N years of ai,e, has for a great number of years regularly reaped with Ihe men in the harvest field. No one can do work better, nor i s more handy and expeditious. At the p re sent ad va n ce d time of her life, she can cut, bind, and set up, two roods a day, bea in; many stout, blustering reapers. ' Sue walks nearly two mil a to her work, and through the day keeps time and pace with as men ; and performs her work equal any, of there. from
