The Sole Proprietor of the above celebrated Teas , is Capt. JOHN nHODES PIDDING, (late Commander of the Hon. Company's ship Thames, of 1400 tons - .) Captain Pidding having made EIGHT VOYAGES . tO CHINA, embraced the opportunity, when at -Canton, of securing to himself the exclusive importation of these Teas; and he sup plies them to the Public, through oNE Agent in each town. GEORGE CARLYLE, Repository, 86; Bold-street, SOLE AGENT for LIVERPOOL. In an action brought by Capt. Pidding, against a person who counterfeited his title and packages, it was proved before the Vice-Chancellor, on the affidavit of Mr. William Styan, an eminent Broker, of 27 years' experience, employed to test the merits of these Teas, " That Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE' is a tea of a peculiar flavor, and composed of mane/ varieties (el black teas, all of the finest quality; that it has a character peculiar itself —A FINE NATURAL AROMA. And "That HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER' IS Gun powder Tea of the very finest quality, agd thgt such tea could not be bought in the market. "W. Styan "Sworn at the Public Office, Chancery-lane, this Bth day of Mar, 1837, before me, " Filed Bth of May, 1837." " N. W. SENIOR. It was also proved on oath, that Captain Pidding's Teas were supplied for the Royal Use. Dr. Johnson, late physician to Geo. IV., considers this the best of Teas, and uses no other. As Author of "The Eco nomy of Health," &c., his testimony is invaluable: he writes thus:— " Nov. 22, 1837. " SlR,—Ever since your Howqua's .Mixture' Tea was first introduced, myself and family have used it, indeed only it, and we have no hesitation in giving it the preference to all others. " Yours, &c. "'To Capt. Pidding." " JAMES JOHNS., M.D. Its superior excellence is further proved, by G. Sigmond, M.D., F.L.S. &c., who, in a lecture on tea, delivered on the 14th of /%IZi.veraber, before the Medico-Botanical Society, stated—" The Hoeg Merchants used not generally to deliver for exportation their finest sorts of teas. It.was proved by the fact that since the opening of the trade new varieties had been brought to England. and, in particular, a tea under the name of the richest and the most esteemed of the HOng Merchants, which had been very much and very deservedly prized, and the Howqua's Mixture' bas now become "A STANDARD TEA IN THIS COUNTRY!" It is impossible to furnish more conclusive proof of its su periority. The term "standard" comprehends every good quality. These Teas consist of " Howoua's Mix-I.mm ' (black tea), at 6f. per lb., or Bs. the catty package. "HOWQuA's SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER," at Bs. 71(.1. per lb., is lls. 6d. the catty package. Each package contains 1 lb. and one• third nett of tea. CAUTION !—The names of C. VERREY, 218, Regent-street, and T. LITTLEJOHN, 77, King William-sheet, City, Sole \-. 4 Agents for London, are upon every genuine catty. All others are spurious. IMPORTANT Testirnor als 1 ,, the efficacy of BARKER'S GOU'r :.ad • Excerpt from Letter, Sir D. Erskine to the Edinburgh, 6th March, 1835. MY Dear Lord,—l have been a leflo'w-sufferer, and have found a perfect cure in Dr. Barker's Anti-Rheumatic and Gout Pills. It is not a Quack Medicine, as Dr. B. has been a regular practitioner in this city for thirty years, and has been my surgeon for many years. It has no effect on the human body, but in removing the complaint ; and your Lordship will find, by taking two Pills night and morning, that the pains will be removed in four days. I have found the same advantages in the case of Gout; for, in place of being confined two or three months by each fit, as formerly, I am now seldom confined a day, and my attacks are less frequent. I consider Dr. B.'s Pills to he as effectual in the cure of Gout and Rheumatism, as Vaccination is in the pre vention of Smallpox. To Dr. Barker, Edinburgh. L args, Ayrshire, 71h December, 1835. Sir,—l was confined to my room for four months with Rheumatic Gout, and had used every variety of remedy without effect, until I was recommended to try your invaluable medicine, which gave me, in a very short time, complete relief. Since that period I have recommended it to many of my friends, all of whom have derived equal benefit. Sir Jr. Maxwell, of Pollock, Bart., Colonel Blair, of Blair, and Robert Struthers, Esq., of Large, are among the number.-1 ant. &c., GEO. MACKAY, Major. These Pills are prepared by Dr. Barker, Edinburgh, and sold in boxes, at 2s.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. 'Mr. FELIX ALBINOLO, (from Turin,)P, Earl-street, Blackfriars, London, sole proprietor and co4pounderof the Ointment called AI.:BINOLO'S OINTWENT, warns the public that the testimonials of Sir Dgrijainin C.

Dendy, Esq., (from which Mr. Thomas Holloway, of 13, Broad-street Buildings, City, gives gar bled extracts in favour of a Medicine of his own,) referred to Albinolo's Ointment, and not to any discovery of Mr. Thomas Holloway, who never knew, nor was ever made ac quainted with the ingredients of which Albinolo's Ointment is composed, or the secret of manufacturing the same. Extract of a letter from Sir Benjamin C. Brodie, Bart., Surgeon to the Queen, directed to Mr. Thomas Holloway for F. Albinolo. " London, 14, Saville-row. June 19th, 1837. "Sir,-1 have made several trials of the Ointment which you sent me. I have found it useful in some instances; 1 am more inclined to employ those of which I know the composition, than I am to employ Signor Albinolo's Oint ment, the composition of which you have not informed me.

The ointment has been of use in all the cases in which I have used it. Send me, if you please, some more, in a few days time. I have enough for the present. (Signed) , "H. MAYO. "Middlesex Hospital, April 9, 1837." By Herbert Mayo, Esq., F.R.S., &c. " am much obliged to you for your polite offer to send me more of the ointment which I tried at Mr. Hollo way's request. I really have kept no note of its effects be yond what my communication to Mr. Holloway contained. la a few cases of skin disease it was serviceable. The best case I had of its efficacy was one of scrofulous tubercles, on the face of a child, which mended rapidly with it.-19, George street, August 29, 1837. I am. &c., (Signed) " HERBERT MAYO."

I recommended him to try your Ointment, which I had seen advertised in the "Monthly Magazine." He followed my advice, and in three days (after as many ap plications) his son's head was perfectly cured. If it be necessary, I can procure the testimonial of the gentleman above alluded to.

LE DRAY & CO., Suigeon-Dentists, respectfully inform the nobility, gentry, and inhabitants-of Liverpool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment perma nently at No. 70, S EEL-STREET, eight doors from *Berry street. They continue to fill up the cavities of decayed teeth with the Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure, it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, preventing and curing the tooth-ache, arresting all further progress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The mi neral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but by completely stopping up the cavity prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of the breath which invaria bly accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the teeth and gums, there is none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent than scurvy, and it is well known that the loss of teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of tooth ache and decay; to those so affected Mons.

Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at. No. 42, SEEL-STREET, LIVERPOOL. In boxes at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d. each. Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, CUBEBS, or any deleterious ingredient. *** With each Box is given a Treatise on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weak ness &c. &c., containing hints worth knowing by those who are, or have been sufferers to this dreadful and devastating malady. Dr. DAVIESON continues to direct his attention to those disorders arising from the too free and indiscriminate in dulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numer ous train of nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age. In that distressing state of debility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigor ous health. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the venereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con stitation. When the great : Doctor Swedour became Pro fessor at Leyden University, he conferred an invaluable be nefit upon mankind by the : discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure of this deplorable complaint. Never did a dis covery excite a greater sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with undeviating success in the most minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the cure of which they have been so long celebrated. The fame of these Pills throughout Germany, caused their speedy in troduction into almost every country. The certainty with which they were continually administered can be attested by many thousands. In fact, during the long continental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infection was entertained. What medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The 11vgeian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the body expelling the grosser hu mours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and un equalled powers. They neither contain mercury florally other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery—they require na restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, hut effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the II ygeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplor able state in which many persons have been when visiting the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it, impera tively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered. These Pills should form a portion of all Medicine Chests, by sea and land, and ought never to be omitted by any person going a long voyage or journey, their properties are such that neither heat nor cold will injure their quality, or pre vent the due effects on the constitution. Dr. Davieson will attend daily at his residence, from Eight in the morning until Ten at night, (on Sundays from Nina till Two,) where he gives advice to all applicants taking any ofhis preparations, WITHOUT A FEK.

BY an almost simultaneous movement, the Shopkeepers in London, and the leading provincial towns, have re cently associated themselves for the purpose of bringing about a curtailment of the hitherto unreasonable hours of business; and their efforts, for the attainment of that object, have been attended with unexampled success. Some of the leading tradesmen of this town, being also fully aware of the comfort which not only their assistants, but themselves, would derive from following so good an example, (Ad stimulated byThe successful efforts of the Drapers,) convred a general meet ing of their body to take into consideration the propriety of establishing an earlier and uniform hour of closing. At that meeting, which was very numerously and respectably at tended, resolutions to the effect that it would be advisable to close their places of business at eight o'clock, during the winter six months, and at nine o'clock, during the summer portion of the year, were unanimously adopted. A committee was at the same time appointed, for the purpose of ascertain. ing, by personal canvass, the opinion of each individual; by great attention and labour, that Committee have waited upon upwards of eighteen hundred Shopkeepers, and it is to them a matter of warm congratulation that a very large majority cheerfully and promptly acceded to the time proposed. The greater portion of persons objecting did so with regret, the nature of their business unavoidably requiring their attend ance till a later hour than that named in the resolution ; the others are a class of small shopkeepers, who, being supported by the .lower portion of the community, are unfortunately hostile to a regulation based on that system and order which is always found to be the characteristic of the truly respect. able tradesman. It is to be much regretted that a few of the Shopkeepers in the leading streets have refused to coin ply with this beneficial regulation ; it is, however, confidently expected, that, on seeing the all hut unanimous feeling of the public upon the question, deference to the wishes of their neighbours, and a desire fo avoid the affectation of singu larity, will induce them very shortly to follow the general example. It has hitherto been a. serious evil, prejudicial to the health, as well as to the mental and social condition of the middle classes of our large towns, that the whole of their time is allowed to he engrossed by their attention to business, to the total neglect of the blessings of do mestic quiet, and the advantages arising from the ra tional employment of periods of leisure. That such a course is prejudicial to the health, undermining the constitution, and bringing on premature decay, has been noticed by all writers who have directed their attention to the causes of disease existing in large communities. It becomes, then, an imperative duty on all to curtail as much as practicable (but still with due regard to the objecti of trade) the present pro tracted hours to which tradesmen have hitherto been the voluntary slaves. Of how many hours' enjoyment, in the society of his children, is the father of a family deprived ? How many engagements of social and happy intercourse with esteemed friendS, must the industrious Shopkeeper forego? How much knowledge is being acquired by other portions of the people, who, availing themselves of more rational hours of occupation, are rapidly outstepping those who have hitherto made no effort to free themselves from those injurious systems which tend to keep them in ignorance, and to prevent those relaxations which are required both for the health of the body and the energy of the mind ? To recapitulate all the evils attendant upon late hours of business, would extend this address to an unnecessary length; it may be permitted, however, here to call the attention of parents to an obligation imposed upon them with regard to the health and morals of their children, and exhort them to give their best support to the new regulation, and thus the dangers to which their constitutions have been exposed, would be averted, and the choice of companions, from the moral part of the community, brought within their reach. The Committee, therefore, earnestly call upon those who have conformed to the resolutions of the Public Meeting, steadily to adhere to the regulation, and to exert their friendly influence in inducing others to comply with the arrangement, that it may be generally encouraged and permanently esta blished—au arrangement which, if strictly persevered in, must, without injury to the interests of any, add to the health and happiness of all. _ _ By order of the Committee of the Shopkeepers' Association.

Clement. rri HAT " Union is Strength" is an axiom universally _I admitted, and a strong exemplification of its truth may be found in the establishment of the Licensed Victuallers' School and Asylum. These two very interesting and impor tant Institutions afford demonstrative evidence of the power and advantage of united and well-organized exertion. The same energies so laudably displayed in the cause o f benevo lence—to support the orphan and protect the aged—when directed to the establishment of a FIRE AND LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, founded on principles of equity and economy, have proved not only of great national impor tance, but, from the number and aggregate resources of the Licensed Victuallers, of incalculable advantage to that body at large. When it is remembered that there are now in existence, the Law, the Clerical, and Medical Assurance Societies, each formed primarily for a particular class of persons, it will not appear unreasonable that so large and influential a body of men as the Licensed Victuallers of England—a body ex• ceeding Ninety Thousand, and whose annual returns of Capital approximate to £6o,ooo,ooo—should possess a similar Institution. Its extensive and beneficial operations, during the past two years, may be quoted as an earnest of its future success. While, however, this Society has been formed by them, and for their mutual benefit, it is not confined exclusively to their own body, but is open to all classes of individuals who may wish to partake of its various advantages. The objects embraced by it are : First.—lnsuring Houses, Furniture, Stock-in-trade, and every description of Personal Property, against Loss or Da mage. by Fire. Second.—Assurance on Lives and Survivorships, and En dowments for Children. Third.—Granting Immediate, Deferred, and Survivorship Annuities. Fourth.—Purchasing Contingent and Reversionary Pro perty, Advancing Money on Annuity, Mortgage, and other Secur►ties. FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The certainty with which they are continually administered can be attested by many thousands. Tne Specific Pills root out every parti cle of insidious unison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but reno vate by their action the different functions of the body, ex pelling the grosser humours. and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their est°. nishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mer cury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, hut effect a corn plete cure ' without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will he well to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain pre ventative, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their stu dies to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aver sion for all pleasures.

HARRISBURG, WEDNESDAY, DEC. s.—This morning the locofocos commenced operations by a meeting in the court house, at which sundry threats were made that the arms in the state arsenal should be taken by force, to drive the tyrants, as they styled the governor, the senate, and the ca binet, rom power. About ten o'clock an order was sent from the governor to the keeper of the arsenal to raise a force to defend it; whereupon he enrolled a posse of twenty five men, and stationed them in the building. By this time the locofoco branch of the House of Representatives had met to go on with their movements and soon adjourned, when a considerable mob collected in front of the arsenal. A com mittee was then appointed by the locol)cos to confer with the friends of law and order, and induce them to withdraw, and the keeper of the arsenal wo irk_himself that no arms itli t iadle 7 talMsxrupe ,tlrOPWrie dreir, and - soon after #g, -the was about of obtaining nu ftlktpietkmstaiacts. This Was about one o'clock, p.in. After thngarrison,of the arsenal had adjourned,_a consi derable number of the voters assembled in Locus-street,lii: front of Gleim's Hotel, where their orators delivered several inflammatory addresses; but as a heavy rain was descending at the time, they soon dispersed. (From the Harrisburg Intelligencer.) AWFUL STATE OF AFFAIRS. The mob have actual possession of the capital of Pennsyl vania, and it is impossible for the legislature to meet, or the business in the departments of government to proceed. As the hour of half-past two this afternoon is appointed for the meeting of the house, the Speaker deputed .Mr. Speak man to adjourn the houst: till to-morrow. hall was filled with the rioters, who seized Mr. S. and forced him to retire, when they all rushed out, and he was barely enabled to es cape without injury. In the scuffle the doors were broken, and the bull otherwise mutilated. The mob have now possession of the town, and mob-law reigns supreme. The officers of the law make no attempt to put down the disgraceful scene. No life is safe; but the state authorities, we understand, have taken all the measures possible under the circumstances, for the preservrtion of life and property. We appeal to the people or Pennsylvania to defend their laws. The reign of anarchy has continued long enough. If liberty be worth an effort, let that effort be promptly made. The garrison, we understand, has issued a proclamation, calling the citizens from abroad to hold themselves in readi ness to aid in preserving civil government, in case the rioters persisted in their revolutionary measures. The locofoco papers, we see, are pursuing their deceptive course in the accounts they give of the scenes here, and are, endeavouring to throw the blame on our party. But we ap peal to the representatives of the people, who will shortly, no doubt, be obliged by the mob to adjourn the sessions busi ness and go home to their constituents, if our account be not correct, or if anything so highly coloured as the actual truth. Indeed, we have feared to represent the locofocos as bad as they are, lest we might be subject to the charge of exaggera tion. It is awful to contemplate their doings. LATEK.—A meeting of the Whigs was called in Philadel phia, to be held yesterday, if Dec. 7.) to consider the state of affairs at Harrisburg. Great excitement prevailed in Phila delphia. The locofocos also called a meeting for yesterday afternoon. The United States Gazette of yesterday states that passengers who left Harrisburg late on Thursday morn ing bring information that a requisition had been made by the governor for some military aid from the adjoining coun try, and that a few companies of volunteers were expected in the course of the morning. Di TIIIS MORNING ' S MAIL. Harrisburg Dec. 6, 10 A. M. After I wrote of the morning session yesterday, nothing of moment occured until the hour appointed for meeting of the House of Representatives—half-past two o'clock, p. rn. The mob had resolved that the body should not be permitted to as semble. For this purpose they as usual took possession of the hall, and when Mr. Speakman, who had been deputed by Mr. Cunningham to take the chair, advanced to the speaker's chair for the put pose of adjourning the house from that place, he was met by Thomas B. M'Elwee, and some of the Phila delphia county gentry, and peremptorily ordered to desist from his purpose as he valued his life. The mob, at the same time, made a rush upon him, but by active exertions of sonic of the ringleaders, who I suppose, thought that the time for slaughter had not yet come, as there were but few democrat members in the hall, he was dragged from the stand and through the chamber to the door, where the rush being great, 11.04 w-el door,s,were brokeu,slewn, and other iejuries.doneto -; the hall. The court-house was and the customary round of inflammatory and sanguinary addresses made, but the meeting did not come off with much eclat. There was an evident diminution of feeling and of num bers. The democratic members of the legislature met in a room at Wilson's Hotel, at seven o'clock last evening. Dr. Fans was elected clerk, and A. P. Hughes, sergeant-at-arms. A petition was then presented from Bedford county, contest ing the right of T. B. ISPElwee to a seat in the House of Representatives, when they adjourned to meet again this evening, at seven o'clock. The locofocos met at ten this morning, but adjourned again without transacting any business. The Philadelphia papers of yesterday morning contain the proclamation of Governor Ritner, giving a condensed detail of the lawless proceedings of the mob at Harrisburg, which had suspended the action of the legislature, and stating that there still remained at Harrisburg a force, encouraged by an officer of the general government from Philadelphia, who are setting the law at open defiance, and rendering it unsafe for the legislature to assemble in the capital. He therefore called upon the civic authorities to exert themselves to maintain order, and the military to hold them selves in readiness to repair to the seat of government to assist in reinstating the supremacy of the law. We also find an address to the people of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, from the speaker and eighteen members of the senate, and an address from T. S. Cunningham, speaker of the House of Representatives, giving a detail of the pro ceedings, and stating that the senate and house have been dispersed and prevented from sitting by tumultuous and riotus multitudes. The lives of the members have been threat ened and put in jeopardy, and officers of the state govern ment have been designated as the objects of attack. Offici als of the general goverment were there instigating these il legal and dangerous proceedings. We learn from Washington that several of the administra tion, members of the Pensylvannia delegation, had left Wash ington for Harrisburg. Among others, the Hon. George M'Keim, of Berks, who have gone on to join Ingersoll, to contend for the supremacy of the locofocos, in contradistinc tion to the supremacy of the laws. N othing had been ef fected in the way of compromise, and it was supposed the locofocos were hollow and insincere in their profesaions, and. had no wish to allay the violent proceedings at Harrisburg, as they hoped to effect that by violence which they are cot entitled to by right, and are anxious to prevent an "expose" of their frauds at the elections. The whigs remained firm, and refused to listen to any terms until the mob was withdrawn, and the legislature left to act untrammelled by violence. A great deal of excitement pi e vailed at Philadelphia. and the tory Ingersoll has certainly obtained a most unenviable notoriety. The military were to leave Philadelphia at eight o'clock yesterday morning, in the railroad cars, to proceed to Harris burg, in sufficient force to put down the mob. LATEST FROM PHIL A DELPHIA.—The steam-boat arrived at about two o'clock this morning, bringing us the Philadel phia papers of last evening. A military detachment, under General Patterson, left yesterday morning for Harrisburg, and it was presumed that the mob would immediately disperse, the legislature resume their functions, and order be restored. The conference had been broken of by the locofoco com mittee on the departure of the troops for Harrisburg, it ap pearing to have been their object to prevent the moving of the military mere than the interference of the mob. Several volunteer companies, amounting to 1000 men, left Philadelphia for Harrisburg at nine o'clock. DEMERARA. The advices from Demerara are very late, and very satis factory; they are to the 15th ult. The Court of Policy has been opened by an Address from the Governor, in which his Excellency states that the momentous change which had oc curred in the condition of the negroes had been attended with inconvenience, but that in general the estates were well cultivated under the new system. His Excellency observes: " It must be our object to raise the sodial condition of our new brethren by every mode in our Power. Civilization de pends on labour, but labour free to change and free of choice." The following are the most extraordinary extracts from this public document:— " The desire for moral and religions instruction among the labouring classes, so generally advanced by the zealous efforts of all the ministers of Christianity of every denomination, is a pledge that civilization cannot retrogade. How, then, can industry diminish; Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to approve of my conduct, and the course adopted by the Court of Policy, in respect to the important ordinance which gave freedom to so many thousands of our fellow-creatures. "Though as yet no result has followed the resolutions of this Conrt to encourage emigration to this colony, yet the time will doubtless arrive when it will reap the benefits of your liberality. I took on myself the payment for ►he intro duction of the first ten agricultural labourers after my pro clamations. I trust our measures will prove our desire to ameliorate the condition of all classes, and increase the pros perity of the colony, where, I fearlessly assert, if the labour ing population, under the blessings of freedom, will cast off the thoughtlessness and improvitleuce of their former state, they may secure themselves and families a greater sum of earthly enjoyment than can be obtained by their white breth ren of the same condition of life in the mother country." The brewers of Dubin have raised the price of porter to 445. per hhd., and 28s. per brl. _ _ It seems there is no truth in the report that her Majesty intends visiting Scotland in June or July next.
