His Royal Highness Prince Leopold of Smite
Coburg, mid suite, reached Perth Friday week ;
bat, clititr.ify to the general expectation, they came
early in the dee, and stopped only a few hours.
Ili4 Royal 1-I:gimess appeared frequently at the
ssu•dows of the Star lots, and bowed to the sur-
rounding crowd, chiefly composed of ladies, by
whom he was greeted with the warmest accla-
inetion.. He Wall waited upon by the Lord
Provost and Mtoristrates, who presented his High-
ness with the freedom of the city. slid to whom,
4111 returning thank', he expressed himself much
pleased with the cursory view he had had of the
city, particularly wills its appearance from the bill
or Nlooctieffe. Nis Royal Highness spoke in high
terms of his reception in Edinburgh, and seemed
gratified with his journey altogether. On being
presented with an elegantly humid copy of tl:e
History of Perth, as cootaioitog records of the city
when the capital of the Scottish kingdom, his Royal
night:row was pleated to may, .1 that he valued this
mask of attention, aod received much gratificatires
from the expressions of attechusent be every where
met After au early dinner they proceeded
to Dui.keld, where they were received with the
most lively expressions of welcome. A signal had
been given from Birestri to wens the isilialmants of
his Royal Highness's approach, and he entered the
city, and proceeded to the Duke's Palace, through
lines formed by the inhabitants in the streets, across
the bridge, and teens:hug a considerable way on
the road to Perth, while the hells from the Cathe-
dral pealed a joyous welcome to the first royal
visitor this country hes seen since 1745, and the
ever-memorable visit of the Duke of Cumberland.

Bishop ATTERBURY, upon a certain Bill discus.
sing in the House of Lords, said that " he had
prophesied last winter this Bill would be atietnpted
in the present Session, and hr was sorry to find that
lie had proved a true prophet." Lord CONINGS-
By, alto spoke after the Bishop, and always spoke
in a pain: desired the House to remark " that
one of the Bigot Reverends hail set himself forth
NS a-p►ophrl ; but for his own Oft, he (lid not
know what prophet to liken him to, unless to that
furious prophet Balsam, wind was reproved by his
own ass." The Bishop, in a reply, with great wit
and Callllllesß, exposed this rude attack, conclud-
ing thus—" Sluice the Noble Lord hath discovered
in our manners such a similitude, I sin well con-
tent to be compared to Prophet Balsam. But,
my Lords, I sin at a loss how to make our the
other part of the parallel : I am sure that I have
been reproved by nobody but his Lordship."
Doctor KING, of St. Mary Hall, Oxon, who
when lie died had reached his SOth year, a staunch
Ton• cf the old school, says, iu his Memoirs, jog
published—" At no time of my life, either in
England or Ireland, either from the present, or at y
former Government, have 1 asked, or endeavoured
by any means to obtain a place, pension, or em-
ployment of any kind. 1 cout:l assign many MA-
MMY for my conduct; but one answer I have always
ready : I inherited a patrimony, which 1 found sitf-
ficient to supply all my-wants, and to leave me at
lilwriy to pursue those liberal similes, which a!'..
forded me the most solid pleasures in my youth,
and are the delight and enloyment of tiny old age.
Besides, I always conceived a secret horror of a
state of servility and dependance : and I never yet
saw • placernan or a courtier, whether in at higher
or lower class, whether • priest or a layman, who
was his own master." What an alarm such a Tory
as this 'Jailor was, would create Ha the present
Cabinet, the members of which pique themselves
on so much genuine Toryism !
The following extract from the Gentleman's
Alva:tom of September. 1762. *hews that much of
the not and profligacy of Bartholomew Fair may be
reduced, if not altogether prevented. The present
is • proper moment fur adverting tt► such a topic.
" Friday, September 3, 1761.
" Severn! persons had provided booths is Smithfield, to
perform Molls and Interludes, dosing the time of Kariba-
tomew Fair, as had been customary for many years paid, and
were preparing to eithibit accordingly; but the City Mar.
shall, and oilier officers, by order (ruin the Lord Mayor,
obliged them to take down their phew cloths and decamp."
—As the present LORD MAYOR has shown so much
activity to prevent Smithfield from being the scene
of riot, it is to he hoped he will chew an equal
anxiety to get rid of the odious uoisance of this
Fair, which to the inducement of 'lot, adds all the
allurements of vice slid profligacy.
The heat and acrimony ;adduced by the late
%Vilts county election do not subside so speedily
ar
might have been expected. The ASTLEY and
KENRTT parties continue a paper war through the
newspapers, and at public dinners. At a venison
feast, at Trowbridge, on Tuesday last, Mr. W. L. T.
WeLt.esttY complained that Mr. Beware had re-
fused to communicate with him as the other County
Representative, and had charged him with uvglects
