EDINBURGH; AVG. 24.-(PEERS' BALL.) The. Ball given by the'Scottish Peers in honour of his MAJESTY'S visit took place last night, and Was attended by all the rank, beauty; and fashion, at present in the city. The company began to arrive at eight o'clock, and by half past nine the great ball-room was completely filled, and pre sented a most-splendid appearance. The Ladies were in most elegant white dresses, many of them richly bespangled, and had on plumes of white ostrich feathers. The Gentlemen were in full court dresses. There were a great number of naval and military officers present. His Majesty arrived a few minutes before ten, attended by the Duke of Dorset. and several other Noblemen and Gentlemen of. his suite. He was dressed in a Field-Marshal's uniform, and appeared in excellent spirits. Inimediately on his Majesty's arrival the ball was opened by a reel, 'which' was succeeded by a country dance, - both of which; from the spirit with which, they were executed, and the sprightly airs that were played, his Majesty seemed to witness with much pleasure, and frequently kept time to the notes of the music. His Majesty was most affable and polite to all within his observation, and.in walking along the room in the most friendly manner shook hands with many of theNoblernon and Gentlemen present; and also paid the most marked attention to several Ladies, with whom he con versed for some time. The dancing of the reels appeared to give him most delight, as he stood for nearly half an hour wit nessing the agile and spirited movements of the different dancers. A Lady, and a Gentleman in a Highland dress danced a strath- spey with much taste, which his Majesty so greatly admired, that he clapped his hands in token of approbation. His Ma jesty remained till a few - minutes past eleven, when he retired, and entering his carriage, set off for Dalkei th. A great crowd was collected in front of the-Assembly Rooms, who cheered his Majesty as he'entered and retired from the rooms, and in all the streets through which the royal carriage passed, it was loudly cheered by the people. The fitting up of the great ball-room is of the most magnificent description. A splendid _.Throne of crimson velvet forms the chief object at the cast end of the I room, the walls of which are covered with rich and handsome draperies of blue, edged with gold coloured fringes, surmounted by massive gold comers. The Throne is raised on a stage of crimson; on each side of which are splendid candelabras in white and gold, and gilded chairs, finished with crimson ; on the opposite end of the room stand three corresponding cande labras and chairs of similar form ; rich groups of lights form the ornaments of the other side of the room and orchestra ; and sofas finished in blue, with gold coloured fringes upon stages of crimson cloth, surround the rest of the room.—His Majesty's supper-room forms an important object; the window is fitted up with royal tartan drap cries, with curtains' of scarlet cloth, surmounted by a crown upon a rich gold cornice; the walls are hung with fine paintings, and the table richly covered with gold plate—The temporary room which has been constructed for this occasion is of an octagonal shape, the extreme dimen sions being about 48 to 50 feet, entering from the second ball room, the windows of which were formed into doors ; it was fitted up in the style of a magnificent tent, the curtains of which were drawn aside, and disclose some of the finest views in Scotland, beautifully painted ; the roof and walls composed of rose 'colour, and white muslin, in alternate stripes, radiating from the centre, enriched with tasteful drapery and rosettes, interspersed among . the columns which separate the interior from the panoramic circumference ; it is lighted by three splendid crystal lustres and candles on the tables which surround it. The King's stair-case, and the entrance lob by, were tastefully decorated with flowers, and the Scot tish banners and arms of the Peers suspended from the dome in the centre. The portico, in front of the Assembly Rooms, was elegantly and tastefully illuminated with variegated lamps, and the entrance, at whic7a his Majesty alighted, was also illu minated in the same manner. The interior decorations and the whole arrangement were of the most judicious description, and reflect the highest honour on all connected with them. The whole of the Peeresses and Peers who attended the Drawing room were present at the ball, and we may add nearly the whole range of the Scottish gentry. A great many of the Gentlemen wore tartan dresses. The company did not break up until a late hour. - At one o'clock this day the ancient regalia of Scotland were conveyed back with state pomp, an escort of Highlanders, and amid the sound of their bagpipes, from Holyioodhouse to the Castle, and deposited by the proper officers in their previous place of security. His Majesty, it is therefore certain, will not make his appearance again in state while in Scotland. This evening the King partakes of the civic banquet, to which all the nobles and dignitaries of Scotland are invited. His Majesty will attend divine service at St. Giles's to-morrow, and no huzzas are to be given in the street. The sermon will be preach ed by the Rev. Dr. Lamont. The following Memorial to the King, for the repairs of Holyrood House, is prepared for pre sentation : „J,..4,..., ~.. ~_, ..., , . 8 , .. i ; P I [ f - " * -14' '' 0 • ' JD _, / . ft,l -':, ' ti : ".,, 4 c ~%., , 1% - -"r.,-;.), ' ' • : - . 14 - .1;,,,;., 0 4. : . ? _ W 1 4,', . 41. , „-• -f . .-; „ Ii„, _441 , -,,, ;; ,5 , -,,, e ., , P4,.-„ir: , e _A-7Th • t \ ‘y \'4;,-,,, , -- 1 -.- -''''.19 ,. ..•? - ' 6 4-4AN" - ',4, ~‘ ~', - , *it - N...SP” ' V N ' • I't .;fit ,...., -..1-1 oy ....„----k, ~, N 4 4,id ,:i. • 4PI f ) re, ie rodgf w hose d t 1 of tae )ssi bl" een at ; ~uy°° PROPOSED ADDRESS AND MEMORIAL. The humble Address and Memorial of the Peers of Scotland. To the King's Most Excellent Majesty,—We, your Ma jesty's loyal and dutiful Councillors and subjects, the Peers of Scotland, beg leave to approach the Throne, and humbly to represent to your Majesty, that the Chapel Royal of your Palace of Holyrood-house, appointed to be the chapel of the most ancient and most noble Order of the Thistle, is in a very ruinous condition, and we earnestly pray . that your Majesty may be graciously pleased to take its situation into your Royal consideration. In consequence of the great inconvenience which we experi ence when assembled at Holyrood-house _for the purpose of electing our Representatives to the United Parliament, we called upon your Majesty's Usher of the White aoa, whose duty we conceive it is, as the Usher of the Parliament, and of the Peers of Scotland, to attend to such matters, to report to us how it might be remedied. And as his Report, with our approbation thereof, accompany this Memorial, it is not necessary to repeat what is therein stated, nor to add other reasons in support of the present application. Referring to that Report, we conclude our humble suit, by prying on behalf of ourselves, and on that of a most loyal, a most gallant, and a most important part of the United Empire, That it may please your Most Excellent Majesty, to take into your Majesty's consideration the propriety of restoring the ancient Chapel Royal of Holyrood-house to its former state and splendour, •so as to enable the Peers of Scotland to conduct their meetings with becoming dignity and decorum, by holding their elections under the banners of their most ancient and most noble national Order of the Thistle, which will add much to the comfort of the Peers, and be an ever ' lasting proof to the people of Scotland of the high sense your Majesty entertains of their meritorious services in the late war, and their devotion in defence of the rights of the , British Empire. The Address was not presented, but was signed by 27 Peers, and is still in the hands of some of their Lordships. His Majesty, in the handsomest and most liberal manner, has sent a donation of one hundred guineas to the Society for relief of the Industrious Blind of Scotland.—The Royal Infir mary has received a mark of royal favour, his Majesty having ordered a donation of two hundred guineas to, be paid to the Treasurer, in aid of the funds of the charity.—His Majesty has also sent a donation of one hundred guineas to the Treasurer of the Lunatic Asylum, for the benefit of that institution.

Both the sons, however; being clandestinely married, find it requisite to make their fathers acquainted with the cir cumstance, for which purpose Benedict secures the intercession of Delph . with Porcelain, and Diggory solicits Porcelais to ad vocate his cause with Delph, which gives rise to a double dqui vogue ; for Liddy (the wife of Diggory) being concealed in an upper apartment of the warehouse encounters Porcelain, whom she mistakes for the father of her husband, and who is exceed ingly disgusted with his son's supposed choice; and Emily, the wife of Benedict, coming to the house to entreat forgiveness for her husband, meets with Deiph, whom she mistakes for Porce lain ; while he, conceiving her to be the wife of Diggory, is de lighted with his imagined datighter-in-law. Meanwhile, the disappointe partner insisting on a partition of stock, the par ties are brought together in the warehouse, where an eclaircisse ment takes place, and the respective' fathers become satisfied with the election of their sons. As this is one of those light fugitive pieces which are wholly intended for the amusement of those - visitors of a summer theatre whose sympathy would be little attracted by .the more weighty productions of the dramatic muse. during the dog-days, the purpose of the-Author and of the . Manager are fully accompliShed if , the audience are so far diverted as to permit them to pass with out opposition. Such, however; was not the case last night, as the audience were not content witltmere negative assent, but seemed to be gratified with the piece altogether, and confirmed its success by hearty applause on the conclusion. The truth is,' that the Author, whoever he may be, has fitted the characters to the talents of the respective Performers, and, knowing that Lis- TON and TERRY are . sure cards, has assigned the odd tricks to them. LisTo,ses grotesque humour, obvious under assumed gravity, was highly diverting, and' TERRY, with real gravity, blended with 'something of an impetuous nature, played ihto each other's hands with great success. The incidents. are ludicrous, and are rendered more so by ingenious equivoques.- OXBERRY . aIso figures' in the piece with broad rusticity, and Mrs. PEARCE, who is a general and a good comic a ctress,maintained her Irish part with good humour. LEONI LEE gave a respectable support to the piece by the modest style in which l►e supported his little part, and a duet between him and Mrs. GARRICK was encored. The music is at least pretty, and the Manager has - donp his part in supplying good scenery. The piece is likely to be attractive. Miss BLAKE, the pupil of Mr. NATHAN, - Who was so successful in her performance of Captain Macheath last season at the Haymarket Theatre, has been exerting her talents with such effect during the present season at the Royal Cobourg Theatre, that the liberal Proprietor has prolonged her engagement upon very advantageous terms. Her voice is certainly the best that has been heard since the days of Mrs. KENNEDY, and her singing strongly resembles the style or that popular singer. Mr. BRAIIAM, the celebrated vocalist, is also said to have decided. on crossing the .Atlantic.— The lovers of exquisite singing will not fail to hail his arrival as a fortunate occurrence.—(New York Paper.)

' EDINBURGH, AUG. 24.—The grand Cavalry Review took place 'yesterday on Portobello Sands. As his Majesty approach.: ed, a royal salute was fired, and, when near the review ground, his Majesty' came out of his carriage and mounted a grey charger. His Majesty arrived at half an hour past one o'clock, and was attended by many general officers. His Majes ty, when entering on the sands, was hailed by loud and long continued huzzas, and frequently bowed to his gratified . Subjects. The different corps of dragoons and yeomanry were drawn out in line, and extended nearly a mile. His, Majesty; with his suite'and guard of Scots Greys, rode first along the front and then, along the rear of the line. His _Majesty then took a station' in the centre, and the whole troops, having: formed in divisions, passed before his Majesty. Two pieces of horse artillery, 3d dragoon guards, Glasgow troop of yeomanry,, Berwickshire, Peeblesshire, Fifeshire,,Stirlingshire, Roxburgh, Mid Lothian, and Scots Greys. After passing before his Ala jesty, the troops again formed line, took open order, ad vanced in line ' : and. saluted. His Majesty then dismounted, and entered his carriage. As soon as his Majesty had entered his. carriage, an immense crowd collected around it and moved with it, Waving hats and cheering most enthuSiaStically. - The review wrikanded - it few minutes past two o'clock, when a royal salute was fired. The various corps then began to march to their respectiquarters.—At the desire of his Majesty, the : Highlanders wholiave been brought to town on the present joy- , ful occasion were,marshalled on the review ground, in order to be seen by his Majesty as he passed to the line. They were com manded in chief by the Duke of Argyll, superbly dressed in full Highland costume; and the other chiefs commanded their re spective clans. Among these were Lord Glenorchy,SirEvan Mac gregor, Bart., Cblonel Stewart of Garth, commanding the gen tlemen of the Celtic Society, Lord Gwydir, and Macleod of Macleod. Theytaluted his Majesty in the ancient manner with the broad; sword. His Majesty seemed greatly pleased with their manly air and martial appearance. The Earl of :Fife marched into town at their head from the review ground, amid loud and impassioned cheering. His Lordship was habited in -a splendid Highland dress, with his foreign orders; and mounted on a beautiful white horse. Thy. day was exceedingly fine, and . never did we see a greater number of carriages,ranged together, filled with beauty, grace, and fashion. There were many gentlemen on horseback, and an innumera ble multitude on foot. All seemed to be in the highest spirits, and to' admire- the scene with the keenest pleasure.—The 77th regiment furnished the guard of honour at Holyrood .House on the -isth instant, the day of his Majesty's entry into this city,-the first-guard of that description which has mounted for more than ri , tentury and whalf. This respectable corps has had the high honour of being selected to perform the duty over the King!Sduring person at Dalkeith Palace, his Majesty's stay - in this country ; the command of which duty devolved upon that meritorious Officer, Major Maclaine, who has lost a leg in the service of his country. This distinguished Regiment has been distributed in almost every part of this kingdom for nearly the last twelverrionths. MXIWANTILE SHIPPING. ; , • DEAL, AUG. 26.—The brig Zephyr, of Sunderland, arrived in the Downs this morning from Jamaica and Havannah, for • London. The Maiter communicates, that when off Cape Antonio, on the-6th.ult., he fell in with a Piratical schooner, of ' about 60 tons, painted black, mounting two carriage guns, with a crew of thirty men; they boarded the Zephyr and carried her close in to Cape Antonio, and there anchored. The following morning, at day-light, they obliged the crew of the brig to hoist out the boats, and to take the cargo out, consisting of indigo, coffee, rum, &c.; putting the passengers on board the schooner; they then tied the Captain, the carpenter, and another person,. to . the pumps, and made a fire underneath them in the half dech,declaring, with the most horrid imprecations, they should be immediately burnt,.with all on board, if they did not state where and what specie there was on board, of which they appeared to have had previous information. The Master then told them, and they took about 10001. in doubloons and .ef- • fected a generel . Plunder both of the cargo and stores, not even - • sparing the earrings from some of the female children who were -.- passengers. It may be material to add that they took many .• • articles masked with the vessel's name, which may by possibility s lead to detection. The Master further states that, after re, ceiving the most 'brutal treatment, they were permitted to pro ceed. A system of piratical depredation appears to have long • existedabout Cape Antonio, which requires the most vigilant - attention of our cruizers. The Zephyr fell in with an American frigate the following day; and communicated- the particulars to her Captain, who promised to go in immediate search of the .
