" Drawing forms so elegant sod agreeable an amusement.
and has so wide a range of general utility, that it caannt
fail to be attractive to a polished soled. It is equally adapted
to both sexes, and to all ages; and whether it be employed
in embodying the forms of fancy, delineating the beauties
of mature, or the inventions of art, it never fails to be a
sourer of amusement ; it is the basis of most of those arts
that embtllisb civilised life."

As early as nine o'clock on Thursday morning the
civil and military powers received the signal for pre-
parationond before ten the whole of Leith Walk was
lined nn each aide by a single line of yeomanry ca-
valry, the horses posted at even distance■.
Ot► arriving at Leith, the arrangements for his
Majesty's landing appeared in a very forward state.
The carpenters were occupied in adjusting to the
platform the machine which had been invented for
facilitating his Majesty's landing, and the platform
was under the protection of the gentlemen con=
stable. of Leith. The Macgregor., Celts. and
archers soon afterwards arrived on the ground. The
last took up their station at the platform, within the
lines of constable.. Detachments of the Scotch
greys and dragoon guards were drawn spat the top
and bottom of the platform. The Macgregor., on
their appearance, were loudly cheered by the po-
pulace ; and the archers seemed to be very much
admired on account of their dress. The next object
which attracted the gaze and admiration of the
people, was the royal carriage drawn by eight bays,
richly caparisoned, which drove up to the foot of the
platform in readiness for the reception of his Ma.
jesty. The elegance of the pages, the dazzling
splendour of the state liveries, together with so sub-
stantial an appendage to • royal procession as thirty
three yeomen of the guard, habited ii► their proper
state costume, engaged for a long time the ass*
nished eyes of the multitude. Such magnificence
attached to an equipage had not been before wit-
nessed on the shore of Leith, either by the present
generation or their fathers.
But more precious and more valued than all
the glittering pomp of state, was the coop &cell,
which the assembled " million" themselves pre.
settled, but for whom the gorgeous spectacle of
• royal procession would have been dim to us.
But for this, even the presence of Majesty itself had
lost the better portion of its real and extrinsic im-
portance. The mind, however, was not left to re-
solve what is a Sovereign without subjects; nor
was it deprived of the comparison between the
chief magistrate exacting respect, and the citizen
paying it.
If we should be cold in describing the thickly
peopled shores and piers of Leith, or the well-ma►t-
ned yards and shrouds spicing high above them,
it is because we have since followed out the route
of procession, and seen the mountain of heads
wF.sre erst stood Calton Hill, the site of our intended
Par heon.

Situated where we stood, the spectator had before
him a simple, but not on that account insignificant,
contrivance of human ingenuity and art. The
hammers and bustle of the carpenters fixed our at-
tention upon the machine which was in preparation
for the landing of the King. We understand it is
the invention of • very youug gentleman, and con-
sist,. to describe it roughly, of a wide accommoda-
tion ladder, hinged on to a floating raft, in such a
manner as that the stair could be elevated or lowered
according to the state of the tide. The stair having
been connected with the platform, the whole was
covered with red and grey cloth.
Among the first persons of distinction who had
assembled on the platform, in readiness to receive
his Majesty, were the Marquis of Lothian, as Lord-
Lieutenant of the county, accompanied by the Earl
of Fife, w ho was dressed in the rich uniform of his
rank as Field Marshal in the Portuguese service.
Next arrived the resident Magistrates and Clergy,
and soon after the Admiral of Leith. By this time
we also observed that the Magistrates of Canon-
gate, as superiors of North Leith, had stationed
themselves on the Customhouse-quay, at the head
of their Constabulary.
The bridge which hereabouts forms the means of
communication between the opposite shores, had
very prudently been drawn up, to preclude the
danger w hick might have been apprehended from
a sudden rush of the crowd, on either side of the
water; but the bows of the vessels below the bridge,
and which were crowded with females, sufficiently
preserved, nay, greatly improved the amphitheatre
appearance of the scene, and gave a loftier front to
the g.lleried rows of company, which extended
round to it from the piers north and south.
The effect of this arrangement had soon to be
tried. Whilst we were yet engaged in making these
observations • barge from the royal squadron pre-
pared us for its approach by the even stroke of its
oars, and in another minute was seen at the foot of
the King's accommodation ladder, on to which it
landed Sir Wm. Keppel, Admiral Sir E. Nagle.
and Colonel Thornton. There shortly afterwards
appeared on the platform the Duke of Dorset,
Muter of the Horse; the Marquis of Winchester,
Groom of the Stole ; Lord Cathcart, wearing his

insignia of Knight of the Thistle; and the Right
Hon. Win. (Sondes. M.P. for the city. Next in
order arrived the principal Judges—the President
' of the Court of Session, the Lord Chief Baron of
the Court of Exchecinev, the Lord Chief Com-
missioner of the Jury Court. and the Lord Justice
Clerk—followed by the Lord Clerk Registrar, the
Lord Advocate, and Mr. Sheriff Duff.
At twelve o'clock precisely a gun from the
royal yacht announced that the King lied entered
hid barge. Ili. Majesty was no sooner under
we,gh, than the ships and forts proclaimed the cir-
cumstance by the thunder of their salutes, and the
populace testified their sati•factinn by their cheers.
In less thew • quarter of an hour afterwards the
royal barge entered the port of Leith. The Mettle
of the people, which had become still the louder as
his Majesty approached the harbour, now broke oat
in their strongest note of acclamation. The King
frequently acknowledged their cheers, by taking off
his hat, and bowing to all around. His Majesty
was dressed in blue, with red facings, and he wore a
gold laced naval cocked hat. His Majesty also
wore his insignia of a Knight of the 'Whistle. Ou
his Majesty's right eat the Marquis Conyngham.
and on hi* left • naval officer of distinction. The
harbour and roads were covered with pleasure
barges and boats of all descriptions, 611 ed with
welkdressed ladies and gentlemen ; and the display
of streamers and flags, with which every vessel was
decorated, greatly beautified the scene.
Hie Majesty looked rather pale and dejected, and
was insisted out of the barge by the officers in at-
tendance cab him. At the bottom of the ladder his
Majesty was received by the Marquis of Lothian,
who knelt and congratulated his Majesty on land-
ing. In return, his Majesty shook him cordially by
the hand. Leaning on the Marquises of Lothian
and Conyngham, his Majesty then ascended the lad-
der, apparently with great ease. After Mr. Dundee
had paid his respects to the King, John Macfie,
El. as senior Magistrate, advanced towards his
M.jesty. and, in the name of himself and the Magill.
trate' of Leith, addressed him to the following
effect, sod, as well as we could hear, in the follow-
ing terms
" May it please your Majesty-..As senior Magistrate of
Leith, 1 have the high homer to congratulate year Majesty
on your auspicious arrival is your &wriest kindest of Scot-
land, the lead of your mat aacestors ; sad to express,
in the .arse of the loyal community of this tom, the
pride and gretillestios *bleb we feel in thee having the
homer to be the first to welcome to Us ?waiter, dome%
Mess the illustrious deseeedeat of were Mast a haired
rinr."
Hie Majesty immediately afterwards cordially
shook hands with Bailie Macfie, and expressed
himself much gratified with the attention Gingen
him by the Magistrates and the loyal inhabitants
of Leith, and particularly with the preparations the
Magistrates of Leith had made for his reception.
The King, on his landing, was saluted by the 13th
regiment. and by the royal archers.
His Majesty then proceeded down the platform to
his carriage, accompanied by William Child, Esq.
Port-Admiral, John Macfie, Esq. James Renck,
Esq. and Abram Newton, Esq. Magistrates.
His Majesty being seated in the carriage, the
procession was then marshalled, and proceeded
forward, through Bernard-street, in the following
order :

The 'Magistrates of Leith deserve every praise
for ktir
.0(11(409i arrirtigemetits they had made Inc
his Nl.jesty's reception, and they have certainly the
merit of great perseverance obtaining for Leith
the honour of iwoo; the royal landing-place.
•lii this reiliei-t Leith has conducted herself as
shit grueralty does. with much spirit, especially
v. hen it is cnosiiteresl that all these arrangements
were undertaten by her eingle-hatisleil. The extra
ronsiables for the occasion consisted of the roost
seonectslile young mess its I.rilli.
Owing to the exertions or the !Magistrates and
rommitte, whirls were trio.t slily supported by
theeitivi'yof Mr. SeArtli, the moderator of the
toost•itiler, not the slightest disorder nor any acci-
dent occurred.
The Magistrates of Canongste and North Leith
Stationed as above desciihrd, were the first public
authorities to greet l,i. Majesty on his arrival in his
Scottish dominions, which they did by lowering of
their colours and itacovering their heads, while their
biod of music saluted the royal ear with " God
tore the King."
Mr. Kent, or some other wittier pedestrian, we
ate told, walked out to meet his Majesty, and
pleased the royal barge waving his hat and cheering.
Last night I.eith presented a general illuanina-
tillt. There were not minty devices. but the few
we noticed • were very well chosen. The Custom-
hausr,•the Commercial Batik, Leith Bank, 'lris
toty.house, were among those which were lighted
with variegated lamps.

CEREMONY AT THE BARRIER.
Pros-ceding up Lest II %Valk, his MajestY approach-
ed she barrier about one o'clock. Here the Magi-
stratev of Edinburgh were waiting to present to his
Mujesty the keys of the the.
The Usher of the White Rod, accompanied by
the two senior Heralds, having preceded the pro-
s •ssion, arrived at the Ciiy Ranier, (tie. Sinai!. as
Misichmosit Herald, gave three knocks, when the
tlarinbeilani appeared, and inquired his commands,
upon which the Herald begged of him to inform the
Right Honourable the Lord Provost sod Magistrates
that Ins Majesty the King had arrived, and desired
to be admitted into the city. The Chamberlain
having made his report to his Lordship, the Usher
of the White Rod and die Heralds were allowed to
raster, wherestison the Merchmont Herald presented
Irtrivelf before the Lord Provost and Magistrates
u,s-nibled and made the following request :
" My turd—l have the honour of Me to your
Lordship the very sear approach of our soil gracious So-
vereign she K.'s!. to visit this his most loyal sod ancient ca.
viral of lieurlated ; and I saw commanded to request admit-
tance to the city for himself and reissue."
The Lord Provost having graciously consented,
nsderied the city barrier to be immediately thrown
which was done amid the cheers of the spec-
tators.
• When the royal carriage had entered the barrier,
tau Lord Provost, attended by the Magistrates,
aklvaoc.d, presented the keys of the city, and ad-
slit-sired Moiesly in the following terms:—
" May it please your M.ijelty—We your Majesty's most
faithful and thalami subjects, the Lord Provost, Magistrates,
and loots Council of Edinburgh, estimated with the warmest
tecltugs of attachment to your Msgisiy's sacred meson and
goveroment,lieve embrae•tl the earliest moment of approach
tog your Royal presence, for the purpose of congratulating
your Majesty on your safe arrival 10 your misdeal hereditary
of Scottated, and of offeriwg fur your gracious re-
seprwore the keys of your Majesty's good town of E'lln•
Lorgli ; this dutiful ceremony, 8 re,does um, as in former
t nut; remeseut the shred comcraud of gates and fuitilica•
toils, these having been brag mare rendered unnecessary by
Ole internal prare sad happiness which Edinburgh has ea.
j led ruder the mild surd paternal governmeet of your
Majesty, amid your Majesty's father of happy memory. This
ceremony now implies, that we place with loyal devotion, at
Ole diaposal of your klaksiy, the beadle and permits of our
fellow citizens, mud bid your Maje•ty a heartfelt welcome
to thus metropolis, so lung the residence of your royal
eurr,li.r.."

During the whole of the above speech, his Ma-
jes.y ecniiinued standing, and only rested his hand,'
oiithe side of the carriage ; upon the conclusian, lie
l.fted the keys aith his right hand, and again drop-
pee them on the cushion,
return you the k.,. of this your cowl eity, in the
fulled c.,u6.lence that they cannot be annual. d to better
tande than in thane of the Lord Prveodt and Magistrate, of
