SADLER'S WELLS.

In addition to the numerous attractions which
have appeared at this theatre in quick succession
during the present season, the lovers of the drama
who frequent Sodlet's Wells can now boast of u
gratification not to be had at ally ocher place of
public amusement. This eutertamment consists of
two performers of distinguished merit, but as yet
obscure fame. The one is • dog of monstrous size,
the other a she bear, of slither a feminine cha-
racter, both of whom have made their first sp•
pretence on these boards within the last week.
The first of these interesting animals is a lintel
descendant. as hath been must clearly testified, of
him of Aloas•rgis, whose urine sheds such lustre
on the records of dramatic fame; and it cannot
without egress violation of truth be denied that he
possesses qualification, well worthy of his great
progenitor. The fair debutante is rather of doul.t.
fat extraction, and belongs to • race of animals
not very remar►able for dignity or suavity of de-
meanour; and although not blessed by nature
with any of the graces of person, yet it is clear that
she has that within her which far surpasseth show ;
and even though the timidity of • first appearsuce,
a ray of native genius occasionally gleamed which
clearly proved her talent for the histrionic art.—
The piece selected for her natant efforts is the forest
scene of the well-known romance of Valentine and
Orson. and in developing the intricacies of her
character. her agonies after taking the poison, and
all the affecting circumstances her setbseqoent
dissolution, her sagacity was most conspicuous.—
A new ratio drama, entitled The Rival Indiums, is
the piece in which the canine hero manifested his
extraordinary powers, on repeated occasions; by the
miraculous interposition of his assistance he saves
the life of his master, and as a reward for his fide-
lity, he received thunders of applause from an over-
flowing and highly-gratified audience.

The lingo left town yesterday about two o'clock
for his lodge in Windsor Park.
Yesterday morning, soon after six o'clock, the
Princess AUGUIT♦ kit town for Leamington.

The Duchess of KENT and the Priucess SOPHIA
visited the Duke of You yesterday.

On Monday evening, roan after six o'clock, the
Duke of CsLoucitaxga, accompanied by Sir
GEORGE COLLIER, arrived in town from his short
excursion abroad. His Royal Highness landed at
Margate on Sunday night, where his Royal High.
ness slept, and proceeded from thence early on
Monday morning to Brosdatairs, and arrived in
London at the time he had appointed for his return.
On Saturday the Duke of WELLINGTON. ac-
companied by Mrs. AkiIuTHNOT and Mr.. Fox
Ulla, honoured the Red House at Battersea with
his Company. Ou his arrival and departure the
guns in front of the house saluted him.
Lady PERTH entertained a select party of fa-
shionable' yesterday evening at her house in Park.
lane, among whom were the Dowager Duchess of
RICHMOND and the Ladies Lasmox.

It is said in the faellionable circles that a treaty
of marriage is on the tapis between Lord JOHN
RUIHISLL, nephew of the Duke of BRDFORD. and
Miu COUSEMMiga, daughter of Lord and Lady
Ds CLIFFORD.

Baron Da ROTHSCHILD, of Paris, ■ailed from
Yarmouth on Friday for Fetsrsburgh, iu the yacht
of Sir WILLIAM CURTIS.
Notwithstanding previous accounts had led us to
anticipate much pleasure trout the performances of
the theatrical company brought here by Messrs.
ABBOTT And FAILLSY, on Monday last, we are
bound in justice to state that high as our expecta-
tions had been raised, they were more than realised.
The company is altogether superior, far superior to
■ny we have ever before seen on our boards, and in
making this assertion we are confident we shall be
supported by tF.e opinion of eve►y individual who
was present. The play, Venice Preserved. was well
cast and admirably acted, and the farce of The
Irish Tuto► kept the sudieucr in a roar of laughter.
and in high good humour both with themselves and
with the performers, from its commencement to the
all of the curtain.—((luacester Journal )

ANBCDOTE OF a Scots GILEY AND A COLLIIIII.
—Du►iug the comment between the sew. Grey,
and the colliers at Crwailin, one of the Greys was
in the act of striking a collier with his sabre. " Hold,
ALBIANDSIL !" said the collier, rod *hewing his
medal, " don't you remember when I carried you
wounded off the field of Waterloo 1" The soldier
immediately dropped his sabre, proud that he had,
for the first time, au opportunity of sheering his
gratitude to the man to whom he owed his exist-
ence: the effect any be better conceived than
deocrtbed.

7718 KIAG"'S VISIT 7'o SCO 1 L.IND.

[Prom the Caledoxias Merelery, of Tboroday last.]
•
It being understood that his Majesty is to land
at the chain-pow. near Newhaven, the tiononrabte
the Trustees for the Cramond distiict of roads hue.,
under the management of Mr. David James, the
superintendent; employed, for the I.t.t eight days.
betwixt 400 and 300 men, and shoot 400 curio, in
embanking, *Wetting, and repairing the road Irons
the westward of the chain-pier to that leading to
Lilliput, by which his Majesty is to piss. These
improursnetata reflect greet honour oo the Trostetts,
and will, when completed, add much to the beauty
of that quarter, as well al to the comfott and cots.
venience of the public.
By 'whatever rotate it shall be decided that his
Majesty shall enter Editibtir•h, we understand it is
iuteuded to erect a triumphal arch or gateway at
the entrance of the royalty. where the ceremony of
surrendering the keys of the city will Like place.
Should his Majesty proceed by Trinity and Cruet,-
mills, the procession will move by Hanover-street
into George street, by Mope-street into Princes-
street, and by the Regent's-bridge and Calton-hill
to the Palace, by the uew approach hom the Abbe)-
hill.

Several of the counties of Scotland have been
already summoned to meet, for the purpose of pro.
posing addresses to his Majesty ; and there iv no
doubt all the others will follow the example. An
extraordinary general meeting of the Highland So-
ciety of Scotland has also been called. an isistite-
Linn, as our renders know, embracing in the list of
its members the great body of ihe nobility and
lauded interest of this part of the United Kingdom.
The meeting is summoned for the gth of August.
The Society of Writers to the Signet met again
yesterday, when they approved of the Report of
their Committee, and of an Address prepared by
them, which is to be presented by the Keeper,
Deputy-Keeper,-sod 15 members of the Society.
The Society have made offer to the Lord Provost
of the use of their Library and Hull, tin the occreiun
of the entertainment to be given to his Majesty,
which it is now decided will take place iu the Outer
Parliament House.

A carriage is preparing for the Lord Provost,
with the anns of the city painted on the pannels ;
and • hamme►-cloth, and liveries of orange, the
city colour. Dresses are preparing similar to that
of the beef-eaters, for thirty men, who are to do
the duty of the Lord High Constable, and Knight
Msrshahneo.

His Majesty's 'toy in this city will not, it is said,
exceed a fortnight. He will hold a grind drawing..
room and levee as in Dublin, and receive mod give
one grand public dinner. The royal suite will nut
be so numerous as in Ireland ; but it will priori-
' pally consist of the same personages. Hi. Majesty
intends to continue his aquatic excursion after his
departure from Edinburgh, but for what length of
time is not yet determined.
Mr. Mash, of the Lord Chamberlain'. Office,
arrived at Oman's hotel yesterday.
Amidst the dim of joyous preparation for the re-
ception of a gracious and beloved Monarch, we are
glad to learn that the Committee of Noblemen and
Gentlemen, contributors to the National Monument
of Scotland, are, in redemption of their pledge in
the petition presented to the Throne iii May last,
determined to lay the foundation-atone of the
edifice on the occasion of his Majesty's approaching
and auspicious visit to the ancient palace and capital
of hi. royal ancestors.
Accordingly the necessary preliminary measures
are in full activity, end it will be a most happy and
striking coincidence if this imposing ceremony
should be accomplished under the immediate au-
spices of his Majesty, the Patron of the Grand
Lodge of Scotland, and that too, on the lith of
August, the anniversary of his birth-day, thus perpe-
tuating the epoch of his royal birth and his gracious
visit, and identifying them with the commencement
of that grand memorial which is to commemorate
the past, and conduce to the future glory of Scot.
land ; iunnortaliaing his reign not leis by its warlike
achievements, than by the splendid mouuments of
art by which it will thus be adorned.
We are further authorised to ewe, that the Ma.
gistrates of Edinburgh have, in the handsomest
manner, given every facility ou their part towards
the forwarding of this great national object.

[From the Glasgow Chronicle.]
It does not seem to be exactly known whether
the Kiog will advance beyond Edinburgh. The
preparations which for three mood's have been
making .1 the Duke of Montroae'a seat on Loch
Lomond are still going on. If his Majesty visits
Buchanan House, he may not improbably go by
Stirling, and return by Glasgow. In the mean
time the Reufrewahire and Glasgow yeomanry and
volunteers are to proceed to Edinburgh. His Ma-
jesty is expected to arrive this day fortnight.
At • meeting of the Lieutenancy of Perthshire,
on Monday, the Duke of Athol stated that be had
it from good authority that the King did not intend
to cross the Forth during his ensuing visit; bat as
he had taken • house in Edinburgh, during his stay
there, he would have the honour of introducing the
gentlemen of the county to his Majesty. A Com-
mittee was appointed to make such arrangemeuts
as may be deemed necessary, and to propose a
suitable address to his Majesty on the occasion.
The projected Royal visit is the prevailing topic
for dist-oilman at Cupar. The last Royal visit to
Fife was made by Charles 11. who was entertained
by the Megistrateatu the Tolbooth—beang the beat
place which a primitive age could afford to enter-
tain Royalty. A search is making into the Council
records for the minute of Council, with reference
to this visit—an extract of which. rumour with, is
to be presented to his Majesty by the Magistrates,
at all suticipated levee in 1-lolyrood House.
Extract of a letter, dated Edinburgh, July 23:
The Royal Company of Archers will claim their
old privilege of defending the King's person, as a
body guard. within six miles of the capital. This
company, which owes its origin to the Commis.
lioness appointed in the reign of Jetties I. for en-
forcing the exercise of archery, was revived during
the reign of his late Majesty. It now consist* of
one thousand members, among whom are most of
our Scottish Nobility and persons of distinction.-...
Such • guard, we doubt not, will be most accept-
able to his Majesty, and we are all anticipating the
pleasure of seeing our Sovereign escorted by this
tine company of Nobles and Gustleaneu."
