KING'S DAPARTURS from SCOTLAND.

Hie Majesty left Dalkeith yesterday a little after.

•by his retinae. He was guarded by Out escort of
the Scotch Greys, and the streets of Edinburgh,
and part of the road alooK which be had to pass,
were guarded by plequets and patrols of horsemen.
As his passage through the city was not certain,
there was no turning out of the authorities to meet
him, nor were there many of the people in the
streets. The morning too was most unpropitious,
as it rained heavily. He passed along Nicoloon-
street, the South and North Bridges, and Prince's-
street, at a rapid rate, arriving in the latter exactly
et 12, aid as he passed under the Castle the guns
fired a royal salute. It had been said that he would
helt at Ravelvtone, the seat of the Knight Marischal,
but that he did not do. The gate of Rseelstone
was, however, very tastefully decorated with flowers,
and Ins Majesty nodded approbation as he passed.
At Davidsou's Mains a relay of horses and a change
of guards waited his Majesty, with which he pro-
ceeded. A hoe of carriages, filled with genteel
company, extended a great poet of the way to
Queensferry. At Cramond-bridge Mr. Sheriff Duff
attended there, on the confines of his jurisdiction,
to take his leave of the royal escort ; and at the
same place the Sheriff of the next county (West
Lothian) appeared on duty, to offer his Majesty
safe conduct within its precincts. After the King

point the country people thronged to see him, the
throng increasing as he approached the elegant
inausum of the Earl of Hopetoun. He arrived
there about one. The spacious lawn in front was
filled with his loyal and admiring subjects, for
whine accommodation the Earl had broached sun-
dry butts of honie-brewed October ale. A vast
lesenoblage of carriages crowded the Park : to the

moot iatereotiog girls, who are educated at the ex-
pense, and under the immediate inspection of the
amiable Countess, were introduced to the King,
and met with the most gracious and condescending
receptiom
When his Majesty had enjoyed his repast, his
carnage woo drawn up. the markt cloth, which had
been removed on account of the rain, was relaid,
and kept down by biers of lead from die Hopetoun
mines. The archers re-maentibled from their

file, in each arch of the staircase. The yeomanry
opened a line in front of the mansion, sod gallopped
to sod fro to shod their dexterity io the menage ;
the piquet of the Greys mounted their well-trained
chargers, and the bustle of all announced that the
King was soon to make his appearance. The ladies,
of whom • conaiderable number were in the Noose,
thronged to the windows in the principal front;
the leads were crowded with females of an inferior
grade, and all were in breathless suspense for the
appearance of the Royal person. The King soon
appeared, in excellent health and spirits, and habtted
in the Windsor uniform. He leaned upon the arm
of his landlord, and in that state walked down the
step., and entered his carriage, which, preceded
and followed by military escorts, instantly drove off
at a rapid rate. The people shouted as he passed,
and, from the window* of the M 41111014 elegant
females, some of them holding by the upper sash.
and standing on the other, waved • loud adieu!
A new road, laid with gravel, had been made from
Hopetoun-gate, super stargine taxi, all the way to
Port Edgar Pier. The sinumities of this road
were graceful, and the Royal cavalcade, as seen
from the house, twined along them in the most
rapid and delightful manner. The eyes and glasses
of ladies and gentlemen were in requisition from the
windows and platform of the house, and the shout-
ing people followed their King with the homage of
their hearts. He left Hopeloon House at a quarter
to three, and exactly at three his carriage stopped
at Port Edgar.
At this place • detachment of the Scotch Greys,
who had been stationed there for the purpose, drew
up in line to receive his Majesty. On alighting
from his carriage, his Majesty was greeted with
loud cheers by a vast concourse of people assembled
oa the pier head. and he bowed frequently in return
while he walked down on a strip of green baize,
which extended from the place where his carriage
drew up, down to the platform from which he was
to embark. Before his Majesty reached the plat-
form, he was met by one of his earliest friends, Lord
Chief Commissioner Adam, whom he addressed in
affectionate terms. shaking him at the seine time by
both hands. His Majesty did Lord Hopetoun the
honour of taking his erns ; and the Duke of Dor-
set, with some other officers of the household, fol•
lowed in attendance on their royal master. Sir
Arthur Paget, the Admiral of the royal squadron,
stood uncovered at the end of the platform to re.
ceive his Majesty, who immediately got into his
barge that was to convey him to the yacht. Pre-
viously, however, his Majesty shook Lord Hope.
touo very cordially by the hand, and taking off his
travelling cap, bowed to his affectionate subjects in
acknowledgment of their continued acclamation..
The Earl of Fife attended his Majesty to the yacht,
and had the honour of • seat iasmediately.near him
in the barge.
The moment his Majesty left the shore, a royal
salute was fired, which was answered by salvoes of
artillery from all the surrounding hills, the specta.
tors still cheering incessantly. Shortly after his
Majesty went on board, the royal yacht got under
weigh, and bore down fur Leith Roads, towed by
the James watt steam-packet, and followed by the
whole squadron. At four o'clock precisely the
flag-ship stationed io Leith Loads descried the
royal squadron advancing, and fired a salute, which
was answered by all the other ships, as also by the
batteries on shore. Crowds now flocked to the
Pier and Sands of Leith, to take a parting view of
the royal squadron, and several pleasure-boats put
out for the same purpose. The wind being at this
time fair, blowing • steady breeze from the north,
the royal yachts did not take op moorings in the
roadstead, where it was expected his Majesty
would peas the night, but stood immediately out
for sea. At five another salute was fired, when the
royal squadron passed through Leith Road., stand.
ing over towards the coast of Fife, to the north side
of lnchkeith. At six a third salute was given from
all the batteries, announcing that the royal squadron
was fairly at sea; and the royal standards, winch
had been hoisted on the several hills round the
city. were immediately lowered. The wind was
as favourable us could possibly be desired, though
the atmosphere was darkened with • thick fog and
rain.

The place which his Majesty had selected for the
scene of his embarkation, independent of its notarial
grandeur and hearty. possesses many associations
that could not prove otherwise than grateful to a
royal mind. Queensferry itself derives its name,
according to Sir John Sinclair, from Margaret,
Queen of Malcolm Caninore, who much frequented
the passage, and was the patron of the place. The
precise spot at which his Majesty was to embark,
Port Edgar, is named slier a Scottish King. who
used it as a place of royal embarkation; but it also
hears the name of another Prince who was indebted
to it for harbourage. We believe that there is woe
tradition. which describes him as having embarked
at this little port, when flying from the jealousy of
William ' but we have not been able to meet with
'it. The following account of his taking refuge here
