After No* Nobis Domino had been mucommonly well sung by
Mr. M'Grath and his professional and amateur baud, the Lord
Provost rose and spoke to the following ellect
" My Lords and Gendetueu,—l base the honour to propose it
the health of his Majesty, who has this day bolsoured us with
his presence, and who has conferred upon the good city of Edin-
burgh, a distinction which, 1 venture to say, will never fade I
fro n the memory ui tide grueration."
The bumpers were instantly tossed ono, we believe, sixteen I
rounds of cheering, but they ran so iuto each other as to have
the effect of a military jeis de joie.
The sigual fur the royal salute from the Castle had not been
true to a second, and so their peals were symphony to the short j
and very neatly spoken reply of his Majes. y, who rose and said
in effect—
.. I teal this one of the proudest days of my life, I return you '
toy warmest thanks for the reception which 1 base met with iu
this country, I um highly hitelSilett Wl' It your attentions, and
want words to express my leelings, and so 1 shall, without fur-
ther ceremony, drink to all your good health's."
The speech of the King was followed by warm plaudits ;
these by " God save the King ;" that again by the " Duke of
York and the Arniv," and that by the " Duke of Clarence, and
rest of the Royal Family." Eac . toast ecoompanied by %stetted
honours, and appropriate music, both vocal and hist' umental.
W hen the last note of the music had ceased. his Majesty
again ruse, and the Provost has iog knelt, sad kissed halms, the
King lifted him up. and tut mug to the company, gave
" The health of Sir kV ni.Areuthuot, Baronet, sod the Cor-
poration of Ediuburgh."
The newly-made Baronet blushed, the King smiled, the com-
pany applauded, and the iiiii *as played and sung " Within a mile
of sweet Edtuburgh town," and" Apollo."
His Majesty ruse a third time, and proposed
" The Chieftains and Claus; and way God Almighty bless
the Land of Cakes."
After which, he and his more immediate attendants retired,
escorted to the door by the Lord Provost, amidst peals of ap-
plause, with which the brazen tongue of holm and trumpet con
tended in vain. The Chute of State vanished forthwith, tied
was replaced by a common one, in which the Right Hon. Sir
Arbuthnot, Baronet, Lord Provost of Edinburgh,
seated himself to preside for the remainder of the evening.—
' By this 'isle a venerable Senator of the College of Justice had
decided that the wine was good, and so it began to circulate
with more rapidity.
The Duke of Hamilton, after passing an eulogy upon Sir
W. Arbuthnot for the ordeily arrangements that hat been
made, proposed his health; and Sir W. returued thanks, a
good deal overcome by the freshness and greenness of his me-
rited houours.
I As soon as the Right Honourable Chairman had recovered
himself, he proposed--" A :ono, prosperous, and happy reign
to his Mejesty, and " The Three auspicions Days, the I-Ith,
15. h, and 2116 of August, in which his Majesty had anchored
on the Scottish Strand, set foot on the Scottish Shore, awl ho-
noured the Lord Provost and Magistrates with his Company at
Di tttt er"—To these followed, " The Btitish Consitution in
Church and State ; " and " The health of Mr. Secretary Peel,"
all of which were drank with becouting enthusiasm sod ap-
plause.
By this time (about ten o'clock) the room was thinned of
the principal Nubility, and at u seemly hour the liaineitt dually
closed, in order that all might, Oil the Folk. lug day, be pre-
scut, outside ur iuside the high Church.
SC NDAY, FIVE O'CLOCK.

The King departs for Moreton House to Thursday moroiDg,
whence Ire will pass on board the fleet, and sail immediately.
EDINBURGH, At tit:sr 28.—Tire King attended Divine Ser-
vice in St. Giles's church. The Lord Provost and Magistrates,
and the Judges of the Court of Session, arid due Marotta of Ex-
chequer, had taken their places in their ollicirl seats before his
Majesty's arrival, and the congregation (some of whom were in
the church by /revert o'clock, a.m.) were fully assembled.
Ori Isis Majesty's entrance, lie was received by the Ministers
and Elders, arrayed in a line in front of the church dour; Dr.
Daird then had the honour of attending his Majesty from the
dour, arid shetting the way to Inc royal seat, and we under-
stand that air interesting incident occurred iu the progress.—
His Majesty bad a sealed packet in his hand! he inquired of
Dr. Baird where the usual receptacle for the congregation de-
positing th-ir contributions wan placed ; on tieing told by the
Reverend Principal that the usual receptacle hail been removed
for the dole, iu order to avuid interruption to Iris Majesty's
entrance, Iris Majesty appeared to regret circumstance, arid
Lien the packet into the Principal's hand, he desired
that it mi,;l7t be applied with the rest of the collection, to the
benefit of the pour.
The address of the packet thus graciously given was as fol-
lows ; —Hue hundred pounds from his Majesty. His Majesty
then took his scat with, among other eminent persons of his
suite, the Earl of Errol (hearing the sword or state), on his right
{uril, and Lord Cleat, on, as Lord iu Waiting, un his left.
These remained standing during the service around the royal
chair. Dr. Lamont, who, as Moderator of the assembly, bad
beers desired to preach benne the King, took his text, Col. iii.
IS arid 4.—'• For ye are devil, and your life is hid whir Ci,rist in
God. \V hen Christ, who is our Ire, shrill appear, their 64:111
)e also appear with Liar iu The sermon was excellent,
and both to it and to the other parts of the service, his Majesty
gave earliest attention. Immediately on the service ueing
closed, his Majesty, after bowing to the preacher, left the
church.

SERVICE PERFORMED AT THE EDINBURGH BAN-
lt.—The honourable sauce of attending on the King, with
a silver basin end ewer and napkin, fur his Majesty to dip his
hands, which was performed on Saturday by N'‘llliam Howison
Crawford, younger, of Braellead din/ Crawfurdland, in place
of his mother, the proprietris of Hraehead, in the connty of
Mid Lothian, being the tenure by which these lands are held,
has its origin in the following %try interesting stury,•related of

Ouc of the kings of Scotland, James IL or 111. Gavelling
incuy. (as was frequently his custom), in the neighbourhood
Crantunil-bridge, was attacked by a wing of Gipsies, then
very numerous in Scotland. The king long gallantly defended
himself, but they at length succeeded in twinging him to the
ground, whets a husbandman named Howison, and hia son,
employed in thrashing grain in a barn hard by, hearing the
noise of the setae, culled out, Ind seeing our man attacked
by so many, gallantly sided with the weaker party, and dcalt
siicli lusty blows with their ILtida among the I 'ipsies, as put
them to (light, and rescued the stranger from his perilous
situation, They afterwards conducted him to their humble
dwelting, mall, bating ph beefed him will a basin of water
and a napkin to remove the blood and dirt from the bruises
received in the contest, they gate Lim refreshment as their
houss afforded. Tradition adds, that when the stranger
laid aside Lis cloak, the farmer perceived by his apparel
I that he was a person of some diatinction, sad placed him
I ac:ordinly at the bead of his board. This was at lint

declined, bnt the farmer persisted, saying, " He was master
there " and the stranger was obliged to comply. Helene
plug away, the stranger, after many thanks, invited his deli•
verer to visit him iu Edinburgh, and desi. ed him to inquire
j at time Castle for arse JAnes Swint, who would gratify the u.
riosity he had expressed of seeing that fartieas. " Wow,
man," obaerved the farmer, " 1 would like to see the Castle ;"
considelingo this, perhaps, a sufficient remuneration fur the
I assistance he had tendered. At no eliatant period, the farmer
availed hiffi. &of the invitationond, leaving asked for his friend,
as directed, was with due amazement, ushered into an assembly
• • of nobles and courtiers, among whom lie recognized his old
j friend " James Swint." lie again repealed his gratitude, and
nt the smile time informed him that the King was present,
whom he would soon lied out by being the only person covered.
" Then," said the bewildered farmer," it be either you or me."
After dirertiag himself at the rantler'S simplicity, the now-dis.
closed Monarch desired the twiner to name a boon, such es lie
could bestow, for his deliverance. The buneat rualic modestly
; replied, that the summit of his earthly wishes was to become
I proprietor of the lands he occupied as bointsmun, which was
cheerfully complicit with by the 3lonareh, and a crown charter
of the lauds of Braelieud was immethately prepared, with the
redtkmdo of holding a basin of water and napkin for the King to
wash, when required no to no, in COllliiitillOrittloll Of the flieudly
oilier perffirmed by the huthandiumn to his Son ereign, out ran-
i ouing him from the Gipsies. We anderidand the awry was told
by Sir Walter Scott, and that his 31ajeaty was highly amused
; with it. _ _

AMUSING ANECDOTE.—On the first levee-day at
Holyrood-house, his Majesty was dressed in the lull Highland
costume, and from the crowded presentations, was stuntmen ors
the kit side, and near the eutrauce of the room. Immediately
opposite were some of his suite with several noblemen, and
amongst them Marshal Bc►esfurd, in full court dress, and
splendidly garnished out with all bin foreign honours. A Glas-
gow MaAistrate, in makiug the emfre, scarcely eleiAned to glance
at the familiar liAure of his countryman, and 1/11,11.111g OD to the
gorgeous Murahal. knelt and bent forwards, is th•it hoe style of
couctliating humility which conducted his countryman, Sir Per.
through so many lucrative promotions. The Marshal, to
prevent any delay iu the cerenioily, smiled, and waved his baud
for the kneeling supplicant to pass on, which be readily did,
gladdened by the cheering smile of the great man. Diving
alt.•rwards with a numerous party, and boasting of the gracious
reception lie had esperieuced lie launched out in rapturous
eulogy on the rich habiliments a.id scarlet splendour of the
royal personage. " Scarlet !" exclaimed his adjoining friend,
why his Majesty was dressed iu tartan, and you, Sir, must
bare mistaken the person." Hoot awe mon! returned the
sapient Justice, think ye 1 inn sic a gowk as not to ken a
King Ira a kilted loon, who was naethieg else but a Highlised
sergeant, placed as a body guard on his most sacred Majesty
A few days ago whilst the Riding Master of the
Scots Greys was amuling round one of the parks near Buceleucli
palace, his line courser attracted the notice of his Majesty, who
i who was silting at one of the windows of the palace. His
Majesty was pleased with the noble look of the horse, and seat
1 his groom to the Hidiug Master to know if he would sell hint.
The Kidilig Hasler had had loin when a toll ; and he was such
a noble animal, and so completely broke, that to use an expres-
sion chain officer of the Grey's, " lie could tide round a bottle,"
and he put the groom all' in the best possible wanner. Ou the
I day folios mg the Riding master was in the park, and no doubt
showing oil his line animal to the best advantage ; the groom
being sent out again by his Majesty on the same errand, the
Riding Muster dismounted, and wade a present of the noble
animal to his Majesty. It is said that he has been 110 loser by
the transaction. It was this beautiful animal that his Majesty
rode at the review.
