ANNIVERSARY OF ST• CRISPIN.

[From the a Edinburgh Steel
—a.
1.. After a lapse of 44 years, the procession in cee
bration of this anniversary was revived here on
Wednesday, in which upwards of 600 of the Sons
of Crispin joivad. From ten till nearly twelve
o'clock cooches were driving down to Holyroode
house. filled with brothers of this ancient Order.
Nu Majesty the King of the Crisping drove down
in an elegant landing, drawn by six berintiful greys,
and driven by in scarlet liveries. We
understand his Majesty had previously applied to
be allowed the e•cort of a body guard on this oc.
casino. ■nd, like poor Lear, in ram repeatedly di.
miui•hed the number of his required force: but no!
his Majesty. urn obliged to commit his p.r•ouul se-
curity to the loyalt}• and affection of Ilia satipets!
At Halyrood.tiorroe the main body of the brethren
were drawn up under the piazzas, and the proces-
sion was Mashalled in the picture galler. Here the
ceremony of coronation took place. The Earl
jtjar.hal, on presenting the crown to hi. Nlirjesir.
observed, that it was more ancient than the Homan
'Eagle, and, he trn•lyd, would be of more dura-
tion than the Golden Brill. About a quarter past

, The procession moved up the Canongate and
High-street, and down Back-rt►ert, and along
Prince's-street, to St. David's, and passing through
St. A ndreia's-rquare into Queen's-street, prtrce.ded
through York-place and Ptcrtdy•place'; brim
thence up Catherine-street and Leith-s►seet to Shak.
speare-quare, and to g into Waterloo-ploce,
hilted it the Calton Convening-room.
The novelty of the spectacle drew forth a greater
portion of the population than we have ever on wily
former occasion seen assembled in the streets. In-
deed, from the Abbey to the Royal Exchange the
crowd was so dense, that the effect of the pageal.t
was almost completely lost to the numerous specta.
tun who filled the windows in the tine of match.
On the balcony of the Exchange several of the
Magistrates and a number of ladies and gentlemen
were assembled to witness the spectacle. Here the
Marshals found it impossible to proceed further
without an escort, :rid the procea•ian accordingly
retired into the square of the Exchange. until a
guard of the 13th regiment from the Castle, aid a
strong body of policemen, were procured to clear
the way for it.
The Lord Chief Sir Patrick Walker, and
severe! Ladies and Gentlemen were stationed at the
WIIIIIOIIIII of Sir Ouncau's house ni Prince's-street.

Thioughout the day a number of the must re-
spectable shops 1111 the trade were shut.
Generally speaking, the multitude behaved with
g►.at decorum and propriety. But we regret to
state, that while the ponces-ion was in the Exchange,
and towards the conclusion of the day, certain dis-
orderly character• in the crowd, many of them in-
toxicated. proceeded to rioting and violence. For-
tunately no tenuous accident happened. This was
im * great measure owing to the good conduct of
the military and police. which was distinguished by
great forbearance under much ill u.age and insult.
The dresses of the various characters were ele-
gant and appropriate. l'hose of the King and the
Indian Prince were the most con•icuous. Hrs
fibtiesty wore a coat of crimson velvet, richly em-
broidered with gold race, and neer it a tich satin
robe trimmed with cuisine ; the train of which
web borne by nine _pager, neatly dretsed in light
blue coats and white 'feats and trousers. The
Prince wore a ►uperb orieatal dress, richly decu-
►ated. The Secretary of State was also arrayed
in robes corresponding with h•a high office. The
Knights were dressed in black, with velvet sashes
Of the same colour, bound with crimson. The Lord
Mayor wore a scarlet robe, trimmed with fur, and
the Aldermen gowns and wigs, with white wands.
Sir Hugh was elegantly dressed in a black velvet
rube, embroidered with silver lace, and trimmed with
ermine. The brethren were ail well dressed. each
of them wore a neat apron, and many of them
gent sashes.—The pageant upon the whole was a
very splendid one; the only thing wanting to com-
plete the eff ct was a proper military escort, to
repress the eager curiosity of the crowd.
After the pfuets►ion was crier, upwards of ROO
of the brethieu ant down to dinner in the Calton
Coovening Room, where they spent the evening
with great conviviality. Among the toasts given
were—
The King,'Quern, and Constitution ••
" The King and the Coat "
" The Lord Provost sad Ilaxii.trates of Edinburgh."
" Sic Patrick Wight., with thimble to him for his obliging
attention his tot Craft ow this uccawiow."
" Lard •ral,lbsid Hamilton., and thanks labial fur restor-
ing to the Craft their anemia privilege of amitenbliug its the
Palace of klulyruud."
The festivities of the day concluded with a bail
given to the wives and daughters of the Crispins.
and timing we. kept up till au early hoilf yester-
day nsurniog.
