It is said to be his Majesty's intention to visit the Earl of Hopetoun to-day, at his elegant retreat, about sixteen miles from town ; but that he will dine at Dalkeith.—His Majesty is to inspect the performances of the Scottish Artists to-morrow. The greatest emulation prevails to make the collection ample and splendid, as, independently of the anxiety which prevails to gratify the Sovereign, a strong desire is felt to obtain the approbation of so eminent •a judge of the Fine Arts. The Peers' ball takes place on Friday evening.—The grand proces sion from Holyrood to the Castle has been postponed till Satur day.—On Sunday his Majesty hears' Divine Service in the High Church. The Moderator of the General Assembly, Dr. Lamont, has been appointed to the honourable office of preach. ing on that occasion."—On Tuesday the King attends the Theatre; and on Wednesday his Majesty leaves his loving Northern subjects for LOndon. ( From the Edinburgh Observer.) The first Drawing-room held at the Palace of Holyrood-house excited great interest, 'and the wetr.ess.of the day had no effect in thinning the ranks of the spectators assembled to see the King and the company going to Court. In the Park, indeed, the crowd was much greater than it had hitherto been. Old Holyrood looked quite in the splendour and vigour of its youth again. The approach to the staircase presented a new appear. ance, for, instead of the solitary wanderers in the Piazza, the whole side along the columns was occupied by well dressed spectators, whilst the Archers and th e C e lt s a dd e d to t h e b ustle, and brought back to our recollection the days of Waverley. The Royal Progress is now, we ma y sa y, fi na ll y fi xe d for to- Morrow ; and it is expected that the ceremonial will be given in an Extraordinaq Gazette in the course of this day. In its general feature it is the same with that adopted and so well executed at his Majesty's landing and reception. The Judges are left out; but then we have a great and important novelty upon this occasion, which is the carrying of the Regalia of Scot land. The Crown will be carried by the Duke of Hamilton, as Earl of Angus ; the Sceptre by Lord Francis Leveson Go we r, and the Sword by the Earl of Morton. The only doubt we have is in regard to the -bearer of the Sceptre,_ and the result of our in qu i r y l ea d s us more and more to think that this arrangement is by no means correct; .but as we are open to conviction, we shall in the mean time give our view. The reason assigned is (if we are rightly: informed), that the Earls of Sutherland had the right of carrying the Sceptre, and that the Marchioness of Stafford h as the Earldom of Sutherland in her own-right, and may carry the sceptre by her deputy. Now, upon every investigation, we have had.leisure' to make,' it seems clear to us, that the family of Sutherland never had such a right—that the sceptre was once carried by an Earl of Suther land is true, and perhaps he may have carried it oftener, but on these occasions he had that honour, .because of his seniority in the Peerage alone, and not from any heritable right. We do not 'speak from the family charters, but we speak from other do cuments, some of which have just been published by Mr. Blackwood. Acts of the. Privy Council ordain the sword and sceptre to be carried by the senior Peer present, and accordingly five or six Peers have carried the screptre upon public solemnities since the Earl of Sutherland died. But suppose a right did exist in the Sutherland family, it is equally clear that the proxy should be a person qualified to perform the duty, and in our opinion, no person holding a title only by courtesy is qualified to bear any part of the honors of Scotland. The honors of Scotland were always borne by a Peer of Parliament, both in compliment to the Regalia themselves, and to avoid the dilemma arising from the incongruity of bringing a person within the bar of Parliament, who, by the regul a t ions o f the House, was liable to he turned out. These are merely our opinions, and being so, we judged fit to stat e th em ; an d we trust our doing so will be taken amiss, for we can assure Lord Francis Leveson Gower that we look upon him with the highest regard, and our writing at present is strictly confined to the dignity and rights of our Regalia, and we even anticipate his Lordship's approbation of our views on this subject. Having said this much respecting the Regalia ; we shall give our readers a copy of what we conceive is likely to be the order of the procession, which it is expected will move from the Pa lace of Holyrood House about one o'clock on Thursday.

It is proposed to cover part of the street with sand along which the procession is to pass. It is understood, that should the procession, from the state of the weather, or other causes, be postponed, this will be announced by two guns tired from the Castle, repeated by two from the Calton hill. f it Pe de nt ' • ,c mtion t hen, r, to Coal' but i llel unter4d? pu . a test COr ol l estr°l .„ 0 0.• lie " in the ti f l ' ' _ docli le 0 :3.1 i orr tile a " 3 le Re s° ' ist e orev erlt r, • o n t it °ill .5: v c' t 5 , tta c ' oe )11. ee b ,:t tO tbe f .p.. 1 0 0 gad e 4 z eo -joioDl Erg fice, .(1 his LONDON FASHIONABLES.

Soon after eight o'clock the Princess Augusta', attended by' Miss Wynyard and Dr. Bright, entered a few minutes before the Duchess of Gloucester, who was attended by Lady Isabella Thynne and Colonel Higgins.

The pro menade is resumed every evening in the Gardens, where the band attends in a very elegant and fanciful temple, by way of orchestra.' The promenade was numerously and respectably attended. WisnEcii HARMONIc SOCIETY.—On Thursday evening, the 13th instant, 'the members of the Wisbech Harmonic So ciety gave a public performance in the assembly-room at the Rose 'and Crovin, before a' numerous' and respectable au dience, when some very popular glees and duets w ere sung , amongst which the following were introduced : Glee, " Hark the Lark at Heaven's Gate sings."—Duet, " Ye Banks and Braes."—Glee, " Hark !

At about half-past ten o'clock th e . ad mired glee of the " Chough and Crow" closed the 'even ing's display, an idstthe most rapturous signals orapprobation, when the assembly, which principally consisted' of the fair sex, began, to disperse, highly gratified with their evening's cr_tertainment. Immediately after the performance, a nume rous party of 'Gentlemen presented themselves to the respective members of the society, when a splendid Free and Easy took place and was kept up with great spirit till a late hour. It is highly pleasing to observe the general approbation with which this society has been favoured during the short time it has.been established. • In conformity with established custom, the an. niversary of the foundation of the Kent and Canterbury Hos pital was yesterday observed by the attendance of the Gover nors, with the Mayor and other Members of the Corporation, at Divine Service in the Cathedral, where a sermon, demonstrative of the beneficial intent of the institution, was preached by the Rev.

When the 'world in throngs shall press 'To the, battle's glorious van, "%When' th' oppressed shall seek redress And shall claim the rights of man— Then shall Freedom smile again, On the earth . and on the main. When the tide of war shall roll imperious ocean's surge, From the tropic to the pole And to earth's remotest verge— Then shall valour dash the gem From each tyrant's diadem. When the banner is unfurl'd Like a silver cloud in air, And the champions of the world In their might assemble there Man shall rend his iron chain And redeem his rights again. Then the thunderbolts shall fall In their fury on each throne, Where the despot holds in thrall Spirits nobler than his own— And the cry of all shall be, Battle's shroud or liberty ! Then the trump shall echo loud Stirring nations from afar, In the daring line to crowd, And to rear the blade of war 7 While the tide of life shall rain And encrimson every plain. Then the Saracen shall flee From the city of the Lord— Then the light of victory Shall illumine Judea's sword— And new liberty shall shine On the, plains of Palestine. Then the Turk shall madly view How his crescent waxes dim, Like the wanin g moon , whose hue • Fades away on ocean's brim— Then the cross of Christ shall stand On. that consecrated land. Yea—the light of Freedom smiles On the Grecian phalanx now— Breaks upon l on i a 's isles, And on Ida's lofty brow-- And the shouts of battle swell Where the Spartan lion fell. Where the Spartan lion fell : Proud and dauntless in the strife.- - Ilow triumphant was his knell ! How sublime his close of life ! Glory shone upon his eye, Glory which can never die. Soon shall earth awake in might, Retribution shall arise— And all regions shall unite To obtain the glorious prize-- And oppression's iron crown To the dust be trodden down. When the Almighty shall deform . Heaven in the hour of wrath- , - When the angel of the storm Sweeps hi fury on his path Then shall tyranny be hurl'd From the bosoui of the world. • Yet, oh Freedom, yet a while All mankind shall own thy sway— And the eye of God shall smile On the brightly dawning day— And all nations shall adore At thine altar, evermore.

FLORIO, *„,* The foregoing animated effusion of the American Muse holds forth a salutary.lesson to Monarchs in all countries, to make the welfare of the People their chief rule of conduct, and not to cl:erish ." Th' enormous faith of many made for one." A doctrine, however, never likely to endanger our well-poised and admirably mixed political Constitution. From the Mount Zion (Georgia) Missionary.--- Such a phenomenon 'RA his taken place, and is still progressing in the county of Jefferson, near the Warren line, on a hill near the Ogecheo river, is not common in this part of the world. About 6or 8 weeks ago, the earth on a steep hill-side was discovered to be sinking and dividing asunder to the extent of about one acre. A gentleman in the neighbourhood of this scene told me that he went round it and on it about three weeks ago, and very distinctly heard the cracking and snapping of the roots. A man of the same neighbourhood, who was my pilot to this eventful place on the 25th June, 1822, told me that it was progressing fast. When I was favoured with a view of it, I think it had extended over about 2 acres. On the most elevat ed part of the hill, the earth has sunk about 12 feet perpendi cular, while on the lower side it has risen six or eight feet above the surface. Over about one acre the timber has been prostrated on the earth, forming a ruinous appearance from its having been thrown in every direction. On the other part, some of the trees are fallen, whilst the remnant are tilted in dif ferent directions, with a number of cracks of different sizes, and running various courses. There is a large crack ex tending itself along the side of the hill, indicating thereby the further progress of this strange eruption. Previous to this event there was a good spring of water flowing from the troubled part of the earth ; the water still issues from the ruin, re sembling in colour the earth which is discoverable in those cracks. ELISHA nuRT. OXFORD, AUG. 23.—0 n Monday last, the first stone of the New Bridge at Witney, in this county, was laid by the Right lion. Lord Churchill, and the Rev. John Hyde, two of the Committee of Magistrates appointed to superintend the work. Specimens of the coinage of the present reign were deposited in the stone, with appropriate inscriptions, marking the date of the year, &c. The workmen were afterwards liberally entertained with a good dinner, &c. by the directibn of the Magistrates, and the architects, Messrs. Richard Wyatt and Son, of this City. The Commissioners from the London Com mittee, Messrs. WADDINGTON and WARMING TO N, arrived at Killarney on Monday last, but owing to their previously having communicated their wishes Ihrptlgtl STEPHEN GAL LW EY, Esq., that their arrival may not be noticed in any way, the in habitants of that town were prevented from giving expression to the feelings of sincere and universal gratitude which per vade the heart of every individual in this country towards the body they represent. It required the greatest exertions of the Magistrates to prevent the town being illuminated, light ing bonfires, &c. whi c h were prepared. The Commissioners also declined the offer of a stag hunt on the Lakes, as well as the acceptance of the public entertainment, which had been in preparation by t h e G entry, t h e i r o bj ect b eing to pass on as privately as possible through the country, anxiously devoting themselves to the object of their benevolent mission.—( Cork Intelligencer. ) We are sorry to learn, that among the casual ties which occurred on the Castle-hill, Edinburgh, owing to the falling of the scaffold is a young Lady, who is represented as the greatest beauty in Edinburgh, and who upon that fatal oc casion lost an eye, and had her cheek dreadfully torn. Another Lady, we understand, had her leg broken. DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.-Between nine and ten o'clock on Friday evening, as Mr. John Ro bertson was returning to Malmesbury in a low four-wheel carriage, with Miss Walker, and Miss Mary Page (a young lady from London on a visit to Miss W.), in descending a hill, at the entrance of the town from Tetbury, the horse became unmanageable and set off at full speed.i Miss Page, greatly alarmed, jumped out, dislo cated her neck, and died instantaneously ! The feelings of her companions may be better con ceived than described. A Coroner's Inquest was holden on Sunday.' Verdict, 46 Accitrental Death."--(Butte Herald.) THE AfiMY.
