TIIE THEATRES. The appearance of COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE last night afforded a striking manifestation of .the true BRITISH CHARACTER, in the liberal support which was given by 'the Public to the Benefit for the Family of the late Mr. EMERY. We say tl►e Public, because it was evident that the numerous and overflowing audience who attended may reasonably be supposed to testify the general feeling of the people on this interesting oc casion. The house was crowded in all parts, and multitudes soon after the opening of the doors were precluded from any chance of admission. The play • was The Rivals, and to the honour of the Performers employed in the representation, all were eager to participate in so meritorious a cause. MUNDEN came on purpose from Brighton to appear in Sir Anthony Absolute, and was to return last night to that place. CHARLES KEMBLE, before the arrange ment was fixed, declared that he would deliver a letter or a message on the stage rather' than not be employed on the occasion, bt 7 lt he supported the part of Captain Absolute in such- a manner a's to shew that talents derived increased animation from friendship and huma nity. Mrs. EDWIN, Mrs. EGERTON, and Miss BDOTH joined the standard of benevolence.— laisToN necessarily delayed .the performances at the Ilaymarket Theatre, that he might perform the. part of Acres. Mr. ARNOLD closed his Theatre last night, that his best performers, WILKINSON and others,might join the benevolent band. At the end of the play Mr. BARTLEY came forward in mourning to deliver an Address, written by Mr. COLMAN, whose Muse is at all times as much im pelled by the zeal of humanity as by the in spiration of genius. Tho Ugh we shall subjoin this Address that was delivered with ad mirable judgment and feeling by Mr. BARTLEY, yet we cannot avoid noticing the following lines, which besides their appropriate classical allusion, were admirably descriptive of the ease, truth, and nature of EMERY'S peculiar merit as an actor, and his Personal worth : " True to the Drama's as to Friendship's call, He charm'd us—for 'twas honest Nature all. How oft, when scarce an effort would appear, He drew the Giant's bow of Genius here; Seem'd like a random shooter in the dark, But—never, never fail'd to hit the mark." The author may well be said to draw the Bow of Ulysses himself, for he is now, and it is but a poor compliment to say so, the best ,dramatist of his time.—The Play was followed by a Con cert, in which Miss CAREW, Miss HALLANDE,' MadameVEsTais, Messrs. PEARMAN, T. COOKE, BROADHURST, and TAYLOR took part. The last piece was Belles without Beaux, which was well supported by Miss CAREW, Miss CARR, Miss BOOTH, and . Miss KELLY, the last of whom was received with repeated tes timonies of general favour. On the whole, this triumph of British generosity was one of the most gratifying scenes that the public ever witnessed. The Committee, who devoted themselves to this benevolent cause, exerted themselves with the most laudable and effective activity, but Mr. GEORGE Roam demands peculiar notice, as his laudable zeal doubtless made an addition of many hundred pounds to the subscription in favour of the Family of the lamented Actor. The Green-room was filled with gentlemen who had subscribed for the occasion, but who had been unable to procure seats in front, or who had declined to accept them, in order to afford more room for casual spectators. A bust of Mr. EMERY, as strong in resemblance as could be expected under the circumstances in which it was taken, was exhibited in the Green-room, and Mr. RoßiNs, in the warmth of generous ex ultation, gave a liberal supply of Champaign to the Performers and the Company. The Per formances did not conclude till a late hour, and the company in front and in the Green room remained till the whole was ended, and then departed with the gratifying consciousness of having enjoyed those feelings so well ex pressed by Dr. JonNsoN, and which can never be more properly applied : Hence then shall calm reflection bless the night, When liberal PITY dignified delight, When PLEASURE fir'd her torch at VIRTUE'S flame, And mirth was bounty with an humbler name. The following is the Address, written for the occasion by GEORGE COLMAN, Esq., and spoken by Mr. BARTLEY . Friends of the Muse ! who in a polish'd age, Support the Morals of our British Stage ; Who, when a Public Favourite gives birth To feelings of respect for Private Worth, With generous, and equal ardour, scan The merits of the Actor, and the Man; Need we to-night express our grief?—or tell Sorrows in which you sympathize so well ? Poor EMERY is gone, who play'd his part Each day he breath'd, home to the very heart. True to the Drama's, as to Friendship's call, He eharm'd us,—for 'twas honest Nature all. How oft, when scarce an effort would appear, He drew the Giant's bow of Genius here ! Seem'd like a random shooter in the dark, But never, never, fail'd to hit the mark. Various his range ;—but, in the peasant vein, " We ne'er may look upon his like again." 'Twas his, well studied in the rustic school, To shew the arch, the vicious, and the fool ; 'Twas his, with matchless humour to pourtray The Lumps and Dandie Dinmonts of his day ; 'Twas his, in Tyke, with truth's resistless force, To fill the lowly villain with remorse ; 'Twas his to feel, too, with becoming pride, How Talent can support its own fire side ; his prime, alas !—of life bereft, Life's dearest objects shelterless were left. Patrons of Genius ! Guardians of Distress ! Friends of the Destitute, and Fatherless ! For You, his Widow will her prayer repeat, For You, his Children's grateful bosoms beat; And may his Spirit now, look down, and view The succour they obtain this night from You. ITATMA RKET.—MiSS PATON made her second appearance last night ns Susannah, in The Mar riage of Figaro, and fully confirmed the favour ite opinion which her first performance excited, and proved herself, as a Singer and an Actress, a valuable addition to the public stage, EQUIPAGE OF THE LORD PROVOST OF EDINBURGH. The preparations due to the great occasion of his Majesty's visit to the Northern Kingdom, are carrying on with an energy and promptitude rarely exceeded, and testify the high sense entertained by all classes, of the distinguished honour about to be conferred on them. Amongst others, we have noticed the Right Hon. Lord Provost of Edinburgh has been anxious to pay every respect becoming his high rank on the first arrival of his Majesty. A handsome six-horse set of harness has just been completed, highly finished in rich ornamental silver, and elegant State appendages throughout, composed, as suitable to his Lordship's livery, of white and orange, tastefully blended A most superb hammer cloth for the State carriage, made of rich fall orange drapery, with elegant white and orange trim mings, has been finished, which reflects equal honour on his .Lordship's taste and liberality. The Armorial Bearings of the City of Edinburgh are beautifully conspicuous, being richly embossed in solid silver, and borne on each side. The State holders for the servants are correspondent. The whole, per- haps, forms an equipage seldom equalled, which while it boasts a superior elegance and beaum. bears also so chaste, and deli• cate a character as cannot fail to excite a lively approbation, and give a happy specimen of the general features of his Lord. ship's arrangements. Mr. Gs o. MAHE RLY, of Welbeck.street, from whose house these equipages were furnished, appeals to have been, in this instance, as eminently successful as perhaps in any one of the many wherein the House has enjoyed an equal share of confidence. The whole was embarked for Scotland on Thursday last. --- (From the Edinburgh Courant, Aug. 3.) It is considered as certain that cn Thursday next his Majesty will leave London on his visit to Scotland. His Majesty. it is expected, will embark on board a steam-vessel at Tilbury Fort, where several will be stationed to receive the King's suite. These vessels will thence proceed to the bore, to join the ships now riding off that station, awaiting his Majesty's arrival.— We understand that the Royal Physical Society of this city met on Tuesday last, and appointed a Committee to draw up an Address to be presented to his Majesty, on his arrival in Edinburgh. The Merchant Company met yesterday, and agreed to address his Majesty, , on his approaching visit ; they likewise made the necessary arrangements for the Company's attendance on the occasion of his public' entry. The Ma gistrates of Aberdeen, Dundee, and Montrose, have voted loyal addresses to his Majesty, on occasion of his visit to Scotland, and have appointed Deputations to pre sent them to his Majesty in Edinburgh. —We under stand that the kitchen under the Parliament House is fitting up for the purpose of the grand banquet.— Sir John Hope, Bart. of Pinkie, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Mid Lothian Yeomanry Cavalry, has issued a regimen tal order to the members of the corps, intimating that the regi ment is put under the orders of Major-General Sir Thomas Bradford, K.C.8., Commander of the Forces N. 8., prepara tory to the arrival of his Majesty, and to continue during his stay in Edinburgh ; and the members are requested to be in readiness to turn out at a moment's notice in the best possible ' order. s+) (-.' \ f.eft • '''... 11. 4 3) ' l'' k%' !,‘t• ' '!,-,..

LEAMINGTON SPA.—The arrival of the Princess AUGUSTA at this elegant and fashionable retreat, on Tuesday the 30th ult. was followed by the appearance of the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, who arrived at 7 o'clock on Thursday even ing. The reception of these illustrious persons was such as their exalted birth and their amiable and engaging deportment so justly entitle them to. Every animated expression of wel come was freely offered by the inhabitants and viSitors of the place. Triumphal wreaths were stretched across the streets in various places, which at night were illuminated with variegated lamps. The bells rung a merry peal ; a number of carriages and well dressed pedestrians escorted the Royal travellers to their residence, and the whole place wore an aspect of gaiety and cheerfulness: Almost immediately after alighting from their carriage, the Duke and Duchess, joined by the Princess Augusta, returned on foot through the town, and appesred to be highly gratified with the general appearance of the place.— They walked through the Upper Assembly Rooms, the Re gent Hotel, the Pump Room, and grounds adjoining; visited the Theatre, Elliston's Library and Assembly Rooms, Bisset's Picture Gallery, Copp's Hotel, &c. &c. They were accom panied throughout by the Masters of the Ceremonies, and seemed to be agreeably surprised at the rapid advance of building, the extraordinary accommodation of various kinds, the copious and elegant supply of baths and pump-rooms, and the various other establishments provided for the convenience and gratification of visitors. In their whole progress the manners and observa tions of the Royal Party were marked with that gracious affa bility and kindness which so peculiarly distinguish all the branches of our Royal Family, and which cannot fail to secure to them the hearts of the people. On Saturday . an Address was presented on the part of the inhabitants and visitors, to which a most gracious answer was returned, expressive of the satis faction which the Royal Party had received f rom their recep tion, and of their good wishes for the prosperity of the place. POETRY. HIS MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND. CARLE NOW 'THE KING'S COME! Br SIR WALTER SCOTT, BART. Being new words to an auld spring. The news has flown frae mouth to mouth, The North for anes has bang'd the South : The de'il a Scotsman's die of drouth, Cade, now the King's come ! CHORUS. Carle, now the King's come ! Carle, now the King's come ! Thou shalt dance and I will sing Carle, now the King '.4 come ! Auld England held him lang and fast : And Ireland had a joyfu' cast ; But Scotland's turn is come at last— Carle, now the King's come ! Auld Reikie, in her rokela gray, Thought never to have seen the day ; He's been a weary time away— But Carle, now the King's come She's skirling frae the Castle Hill ; The Carline's voice is grown sae shrill, Yell hear her at the Canon Mill, Carle, now the King's come ! " Up, bairns !" she cries, " baith great and ama', And busk ye for the weapon sham ! Stand by me, and we'll bang them a' ! Carle, now the King's come ! " Come from Newbattle's (1) ancient spires, Bauld Lothian, with your knights and squires, And match the mettle of your sires, Carle, now the King's come ! " Your welcome hame, my Montague ! (2) Bring in your ligd the young Buccleugh ; I'm missing some that I may rue, Carle, now the King's come !. " Come, Haddington, the kind and gay, You've grac'd my causeway mony a day ; I'll weep the cause if you should stay, Carle, now the IGng's come ; " Come, premier Duke (3) and carry dour, Frae yonder craig (4) his ancient croun ; It's had a lang sleep and a soun'— But, Carle now the King's come ! " Come, Athole, from the hill and wood, Bring down your clansmen like a cloud ; Come, Morton shew the Douglas' blood,— Carle, now the King's come ! " Come, Tweeddale, true as sword to sheath ; Come, opetoun, fear'd on fields of death ; Come, Clerk, and give yon bugle breath ; Carle, now the King's come ! " Come, Wemyss, who modest merit aids ; Come, Roseberry, from Dalmeny shades; Breadalbane, bring your belted plaids ; Carle, now the King's come ! " Come, stately Niddrie (5), auld and true, Girt with the sword that Minden knew ; We have ower few such lairds as you— Carle, now the King's come ! " King Arthur's grown a common crier, He's heard in Fife and far Cantire,— Fie, lads, behold my crest of fire !' (6) Carle, now the King's come ! " Saint Abb roars out, I see him pass Between Tantallon and the Ba's !'— Calton (7), get out your keeking-lass, Carle, now the King's tome !"--- The Carline stopp'd ; and, sure I am, For very glee had ta'en a dwam, But Oman help'd her to a dram.— Cogie, now the King's come ! Cogie, now the King's come ! Cogie, now the King's come ! I'se be fou, and ye's be toom, Cogie, now the King's come ! (1) Seat of the Marquess of Lothian. (2) Uncle to the Duke of Buccleugh.

Mr. ROBIN'S yesterday communicated to the Committee, that he had received a most gratifying and kind let ter from his Royal Highness the Duke of 1 oux, inclosing a draft for 501. His letter expressed in very feeling terms a san guine hope that the Committee who are conducting this subscrip tion will not close their labours until a sufficient sum is received to make a permanent provision for the whole of this distressed and surviving family. He had also the pleasure to add to the subscription-list, Hughes Ball, Esq. 251. for a box ; Henry Baring, Esq. 10 guineas ; John Soane, Esq. 10 guineas. THE UNFORTUNATE AERONAUTS. ( From the Gloucester Herald of Saturday. ) We are happy to be enabled to lay the following highly sa tisfactory official communication before the public, which we received just as we were going to press : " Turk Dean, Friday, Aug. 2, 1822. Two o'Clock,l. m. Mr. Griffiths has gained considerable strength ; he is able to move with less pain, and upon the whole is in a very favour able state. Mr. Green is more free from pain, but he still re mains in a precarious condition." We learn by another account that Mr. Griffith, who ascended with Mr. Green, is Proprietor of the Cheltenham Chronicle. On Sunday afternoon the body of a soldier was found drowned in the Regent's Canal, near the Rosemary Branch. His hands and feet were tied. From a letter found in his pocket, his name appears to be Corporal Stuart, of the Guards, now in the Tower. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

Ladbroke's match to trot his horse sixteen miles in an hour, and to carry ten stone, was undertaken yesterday morning over a two miles piece of turf, in Ashford.Park, near Romford, for 300 sovereigns. The horse was backed at sto 4 to win, and the ground was done as under : MIN. SEC. MIN. SEC. First two miles in - 7 26 Sixth two miles in - 7 52 Second ditto - - 1 26 Seventh ditto --7 50 Third ditto - - 7 12 Eighth ditto - - 7 42 Fourth ditto - - 7 28 Fifth ditto --7 39 GO 29 The match was lost by the 29 seconds through the horse breaking npon the trot in the 13th and 14th miles, which Sub jected the rider to turn him round twice. The horse was not distressed. Another match over the same ground, on which at least five hundred Sovereigns were pending, caused much sport. A Mr. Goodchild undertook to ride first a galloway . on the trot 13 miles in one hour, and next a horse 13 miles in another hour. and to complete the twenty-six miles within two hours.froin the time of starting. The galloway -performed the distance well in three minutes within the given time ; and Mr. Goodchild mounted the horse, and won the match with 49 seconds to spare. The rider was dead beat, to use a sportsman's phrase. FALSE ALARM.—Sunday night the greatest curiosity was excited, and various conjectures were afloat, at a light being observed by the watchmen and passengers, in St. James's Church, Clerkenwell.• The general idea was, that it was some supernatural being paying its nightly visit to the edifice. At length the circumstance was named to the sexton ; and he, having possession of the keys of the church, pro ceeded, in company with several others, to ascertain what it really was. On opening the doors of the church all was very silent, and, with fearful steps, , they explored the interior, when, on reaching the vestry, they were dreadfully astounded at a loud snoring ; and, on further inspection, they found the fire alight, and two women very comfortably seated in chairs, fast asleep. They were instantly roused from their slumber, and called upon to account for their bein g c , in such an extra ordinary place at that hour in the night, when it turned out that they entered the church to hear a funeral service in the afternoon, and, having fallen asleep, were locked in, and did not awake till it was quite dark, and they had found out the coal cellar, and the tinder-box, by which means they ignited a fire. They were taken to the watch-house, and yesterday morning were brought to Hatton-garden office, where they related their adventure to the Magistrate, and there being no reason to doubt the truth of their statement, they were discharged. Yesterday an Inquisition was taken at St. Giles's Workhouse, before Mr. STIRLING, Coroner,on the body of a woman, name Unknown,who died in Tottenham-court-road, on Saturday last. It appeared that she was going along the foot way, and being taken suddenly ill she sat upon the step of a door, and in a few minutes expired. She was about the middle age,very poor and emaciated ; she had no money in her pockets, nor any thing whatever which would lead to a discovery who she WA!. There were no marks of violence upon the body, and the Jury returned a Verdict—Natural Death. A GOOD AIM AND A STEADY MARK.—A few days ago, in consequence of a trifling wager, the following cir cumstance took place, which certainly rivals the eelebrated feat of William Tell. In a yard, within a short distance of our of fice, a professional Gentleman of this town stood with a tumbler glass on his bare head, and with his face to another individual, a tradesman, who at the distance of 12 yards, discharged a bullet from a cross-bow at the glass, and broke it to atoms, with out injuring, in, the slightest degree, the mortal target which bore it. Our readers may depend on the truth of this state ment; but we know not which they will declare to be the greatest—the skill of one of the parties, the nerve of the other, or the folly of both.—( Liverpool Mercury.)
