There is at present a great numher of workmen homily

Royal Highness Prince Leopold did. during his visit to
Scotland ; and to make it more convenient fur his Majesty
to take a view of the rock, a very broad stale is at present
making on the south-mist side of the island, which is the
only place that it is possible to get up, it being ioaccessible on
all aides except this.

some of the ietiverdiusig scenery iuhis neighbourhood, such
as Rodin', Hawthoradity, Ate. The repose of this day will

be careful to be Valet' in the proper Highland fashion—

the variety, (earfuls's., and appropriate splendour of the
nese.

The following additional particulars may be pretty well

to the old custom, oil horseback, attended by six esquires in

tional colours of Scoil.nrl. The Knight Merischal, having
received the Regalia, will convey them in his cumin, to
Holyrood, attended by his esquires, as above described, and
a large military escort.
On the day when the King in person goes to the Castle,

ss the first of Scottish subjects. His authority supersedes
that of all other Magistrates within the verge of a Court
holden in Scotlaud ; so that the peace will be preserved at
Holyrood, ikr. during his Majesty's visit, by the Officers of
the Lord High Constable alone. The gentkmeniof the Celtic
Society are, it is supposed, to set in this rapacity; hot be-
sides these, whenever the High Constable appears its any pro-
cession, he it entitled to come with • personal suite of the
Knights, ten Esquire., mid twenty yeomen, all in appro-
priate costume. Lord Errors appearance will, therefore,
form a very important feature os every occasion of formality.
On the fourth day, it is nederstood, his Majesty will hold
• drawiscroom.
When the Kisg was is Ireland last year, the crowds of
gentlemen coming to Court were such, that his Majesty
was constrained to issue a sort of order, that nig"e of those
who bad bee, at the levee should come to the drawing room
also, unless they had ladies on whom it was necessary for
them to attend. It is hoped, that, from the superior accom-
modation in the state chambers of Hulyrood, no such ar.
rangewirot will be called for here.

No gentleman can come to the drawi■;•room without
having been previously presented at a levee The proper
object of the drawing room is ibe presentation of ladies.
Ladies are introduced to the King either by ladies who
have already been at Court, or by the Lord is Waiting.

The Lady drops her trite (shoat four yards in length)
when she enters the circle of the King. It Is held np by
the Lord in Waiting till she is close to his Majesty. She
curtsies. The King raises her up, and salutes ►er on the
cheek. She then retires, always facing the Sovereign till
she is beyond the circle. A considerable difficulty HI pre.
mated to the inexperieeced by the Necessity of retiring
(without assistance) backwards. The Ladies must exert
their skill to move their trains quietly and neatly from be.
Lind them as they retire; sad those who have never worn
such dresses should lose so time in beginning to practise
this. Most pliant must the situation be of a youug female
who is so unfortunate as to makes faux. par on such an
secasien. It was by no mesas so difficult when hoops were
is &Aloe; bat sow that these have bero discarded, there is
mottling to assist is keeping the train off the ground.
The ladies cannot require to be informed that they must
all appear in Court plumes and fans. At least nine feathers
must be in rarh headdress.

A "'mud Levee. and • second Drawing-room, will con.
elude, for the preseat, the public appearances of his Ma-
jesty at Holyrood. Rut it is expected that be will gratify
us by coming one nigh►, during his stay, to the theatre,
where a proper box is to be prepared with all that gond taste
for which Mr. Murray and Mrs. Siddoos have ever been die-
tinguished.
It is understood that the King will pay short visits to
the gallant Eel! of Hopetoun, the Marquis of Lothian.
Lard Lie•teaaat of the County, Viscount Melville, sad
some other distinguished characters in t►is neighbourhood.
If the exertions now making continue, all the scaffolding
for the accommodation of the different public bodies will be
erected in the room of the present week. Workmen have
began to fit up the gallery over the Royal Excbassge.
Is the Parliament House the preparations for the banquet
are of the moat splendid description, and it Is understood
that it will not be inferior, either in respect of decoration's, or
in the variety and excellence of the viands, to the feast given
by the City of London to the allied Sovereigns, some years
ago. The King's table is already prepared, in • semi.eiren-
lar form, under the great window of the Parliament House.
At this table a select company of about 30 will sit; his Ma.
jesty under • canopy the centre, with the Lord Provost
un his right band.
The project of a triumphal arch has been glvea up; and
consequently, we understand, • larger sum of money will be
applicable to the entertainment at Parliament House. A
proposal fur the introduction of • choir his been under eon.
sideratiou, and 100/. were Named as a provision fur bringing
four vocal auxiliaries from Loudon. But as it was ton late
to cosvey them down by water, the above sum nut being
sufficient to defray their travelling expenses by land,
we believe that the suggestion has altogether failed. This is
to be remelted, since the presence of such olee singers es the
Messrs. Royer' t, and one or two others of their circle, would
have considerably enlivened • feast suck as the one in eon.
templatio•. It is not according to etiquette, we believe,
that any oratory should be introduced at a royal bouquet ;
and the &lolling of the King's hesla, which will he the
principal eip►ession of attsebmcnt to the King. cannot hit
out the evening. The design of erecting gallarica for ladies,
we rinderstand, has also bees •baadoned, on account of the
expense which it would occasion; but this need forgo no
objection to admitting them to the feast, after the man-
tic r of the citizens' wires in London, should the plan be
approved of by his Majesty. If, however, there are to
be no ladies, and no singiag, the least that coo be
done will be to provide the best instrumental music
which the city will afford. The Professional Society
ought to be engaged; and, that his Majesty might hear
some of the hest Scotch airs in their cumin! perfection,
Goo's hand should be provided few this occasion. We have
yet heard of none bat military music having been decided
on. This can be no novelty to the• King. who retains in his
household service the finest military band in Europe.
The Peers of Scotland have agreed to give • ball in the
Assembly Rooms, fur which 400 tickets will be i•siied, slot
for which the most splendid preparations are maltose. We
bare seen the design for the embellishment of the east
end of the Assembly Rooms, which has been approved of
by the Committee of Peers appointed to superintend the
demotions, and it certainly exceed• in magnificence any
thing which has been previously seen in Scotland.
The arrangyme•ta in the interior of the Theatre Royal, for
the accommodation of his Majesty, as in • state of forward-
ness, and reflect groat credit on the taste of oar spirited
Manager. Two rooms will be splendidly fated up, through
which his Majesty will pass on hips way to the Royal Box.
HI. Majesty will enter ■t the hex-ogre, Ilse ulterwinue oa
which, for this purpose, were commenced by Mr. Murray on
Friday.
.Of the easy superb preparations fir the approaching
Royal visit, we have observed nothing to excel two beititifill
ornaments, prepared by Mr. Sanderson, lapidary, and which
we have just seen. They are intended fur the rose of the
garter on the hoe of the leg, in the Highland dress intended
to he worm at Court. They are set its fine gold, and are com-
ps* posed of rairregoru amethysts,•qua marines. diamonds,
and subies, of the richest description, all of them the minister
