The children of both sexes belonging to the various schoo's were
on the sides of the road as his Majesty passed, and bowed to
him, which appeared to give pleasure to his Majesty. All the
taverns were filled with company,,And also every private house
between London and Greenwich. „We-must not forget to no-
tice, that just before his Majesty lefais yacht, the Lord Mayor's
barge was turned round to the starboard of the Royal Sovereign,
and his Majesty took leave nf his Lordship_ by bowing repeat-
edly. The company on board the Lord Mayor's barge bowed
and cheered repeatedly, and the Lord Mayor made his obeisance
to the King.--The following address-from -the inhabitants of
Greenwich had been prepared, and it was their anxious wish
that it -should be presented to the King :
" TO THE KING'S mosT EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
" May it please your. Majesty,L-We, your Majesty's most
dutiful subjects, the Vicar, Parochial Officers,, and other In-
habitants of the town of Greenwich, in the county of Kent, beg
permission to approach your sacred person with the expres-
sion of our unfeigned sentiments of attachment, respect, and
loyalty .
" 1 ully appreciating the blessings of the paternal govern-
ment under which we live, in the mild and equal administra-
tion of the law, by which our rights, our property, and our
liberties, are so amply secured to us, we are bound, as well
by interest as by duty and inclination, to pray for your Ma- '
jesty's long and peaceful enjoyment of the throne of these
realms.
We anxiously hope that the royal visit to Scotland has
been as productive of personal gratification to your Majesty
as it must have been delightful and animating to our
northern fellow-subjects ; and we highly value the honour
conferred upon our town by your Majesty's gracious presence.
"It is our heartfelt wish and pray that the sceptre of the
British Dominions may long be swayed by your Majesty, the
best assurance we can desire for tile continuance- of our na-
tional prosperity and happiness. . .
" GEORGE MA/HEW, Vicar, Chairman."
[Signed On behalf of the Meeting.]
The above Address, it was prOposed and determined, should
be resented to his Majesty as' soon as he mounted the steps,
and arrived in the great square of .theColkge ; but upon ap,
plication to the authorities being made as to the form of pre-
sentation, it was found to be contrary to etiquette for a body "not
corporate;" to present by deputation an -address or petition to
the King in person.
When his Majesty's arrival at.Carleon Palace was known,
the bells of St. Martin's, St. James's, and other churches of
the metropolis were rung at intervalxfor the remainder of the
evtning.

EDINBURGH, AUGUST 29.

- •
The following are the particulars of the KING'S departure for
England :
• " This day his Majesty took his final departure from Scot-
land, and by a singular coincidence, the forenoon was not less
gloomy and inclement than the afternoon of the day of his at.
rival. 'trained heavily through the night, and the morning
presented an aspect both dismal and unpropitious. Piquets of
cavalry and patroles of Police were in attendance at an early
hour, and occupied several stations from Dalkeith to Hopetoun
House, near which latter place his Majesty was to embark; the
distance lay about 18 miles. The Royal Archers mustered at six
o'clock, and shortly after got on board a steam-boat, which was to
convey them to Hopetoun House, where they were to serve as
a guard of honour to his Majesty, during the short stay he was
to make with its noble proprietor. At a few minutes past
twelve, his Majesty drove in from Dalkeith in a close travelling
carriage, drawn by four horses, with postillions in front, and
attended by a large escort of cavalry. His Majesty was dressed
in the Windsor uniform, and wore his travelling cap. The Duke
of Dorset sat with his Majesty- in the carriage. The people
cheered and stood uncovered as his Majesty passed, and
when he got down about the middle of Princes-street, a Royal
salute was fired from the Castle. His Majesty's progress
was so rapid, that he was soon out of the precincts -of the
town, and he did not stop any where till he reached a little
village called Davidson Mains, where he changed horses. Se-
veral of the houses along the way were decorated with green
boughs in honour of his approach, and the gate leading to the
residence of the Knight Marischal, Sir Alexander Keith, was
rendered conspicuous by festoons of variegated flowers, sur-
mounted by laurel. In the small town of Queens-ferry, which
is one of the Royal burghs, and situated immediately adjacent
to Port Edgar, the place of embarkation, a number of genteel
persons had collected, and the houses on each side were decked
with green foliage. After leaving the limits of Midlothian, his
Majesty was escorted by the Westlothian Yeomanry Cavalry, in
addition to the Scots Greys, who had attended him from
Dalkeith. The several Noblemen and Gentlemen, trustees of
Queen's-ferry, were invited to Hopetoun House on the occa.
sion. On arriving at Hopetoun House his Majesty was con-
ducted from his carriage by the Noble and Gallant Lord to
whom that mansion belongs. His'Majesty was led into a spa-
cious room superbly furnished, where he sat down to a drjeune,
consisting of all the piquant luxuries which the ingenuity of
scientific cooks could supply. To this room none but persons
of Supetior distinction were admitted. His Majesty appeared
in high spirits, and conversed occasionally with his Noble
Host m terms f the greatest kindness and affability. In the
meantime a substantial repr st was provided for his Majesty's
eicort,- as well as for the numerous tenantry of the estate,
who ranged themselves along the corridors on each side of
the house. The day had by this time somewhat cleared,
up, and the scene on the lawn in front was peculiarly gay and
animated. Groups of females, elegantly attired, promenaded
up and down, and the splendid uniforms of the military served
not a little to enhance the effect, Jlopetoun-house may be pro.
nounced one of the most noble seats in Great Britain. The struc-
ture itself bears sonic resemblance to Greenwich Hospital, but
on a much smaller scale. With respect to the scenery—no de-
scription, however florid, could pourtray it in colours too glow.
ing for the sublime objects it embraces. The ground above the
harboUr rising in the form of a_ natural amphitheatre, is over-
hung with trees of a luxuriant growth, giving reality to the
vivid scene which Virgil has poortrayed—
' llOll sytvis:seara COTUSCLf
hesuper, borrentique atrsun nemus iruminet umbra.
The different officers belonging to the Royal squadron were all
on shore to inspect the arrangements for his Majesty's em-
barkation at Port Edgar, and Arthur Paget was particu-
larly active. A considerable number of spectators stood on
the pier-head, and several of the Scotch Nobility walked up
and down the space leading to the platform. Most of the
Royal suite had got on board before his Majesty came
down. During the short time he continued at Hopetoun
House, his Majesty gave an additional proof of his re.
gard for the arts, by conferring die honour of Knighthood
on Mr. Raeburn, the most celebrated painter at present
in Scotland. lie also conferred a similar honour on Captain
Adam Ferguson, the Keeper of the Regalia. At three o'clock
precisely his Majesty arrived on the beach, and on getting out
of his carriage did Lord Hopetoun the bonnet of taking his arm.
On his way to the platform he was met by the Chief Lord Corn.
missioner one of his earliest friends, whom he shook affection.
ately by both hands. Sir Arthur Paget assisted his Majesty in
getting into the barge and the Duke of Dorset and Lord
Fife stepped in immediately after. His Majesty then bade
a cordial adieu to Lord Hopetoun, and the barge left
the shore amidst the cheers of the numerous spectators and
`the roaring of cannon from the ships and all the stir.
rounding hills, his Majesty taking off his cap, and bowing re-
peatedly. In less than ten minutes isis Majesty was on board,
and the Royal George shortly after got under weigh, and bore
down the Forth, towed by the James Watt, steam-packet. The
atmosphere again became exceedingly dark and hazy, but the
wind was as favourable as could be desired. Salutes were tired
at occasional intervals from the ships in Leith Roads and the
batteries on shore, till at six o'clock it was announced that the
Royal squadron had completely cleared the mouth of the Forth,
and stood out for sea."

Earl Bathurst has been on a short visirto Combe Wood, and
was expected in town this day.
The Duke of Devonshire arrived at Dublin on Wednesday
last, on his way to his magnificent Castle at Lismore in the
county of Waterford. ,
Sir F. Burdett passed through Plymouth, on his way to
amide's Hotel, Dock, on Tuesday last; in the course of the
day he inspected his Majesty's Dock yard, and on Wednesday
proceeded to the seat of Sir Masseh Lopez, at Maristow.

I Lord NORBURY, whose waggery is proverbial,
never loses an opportunity of diverting the Court,
when the cause is not of too serious a nature,
with some lively sally of humour. A person
who was lately giving evidence before his Lord-
ship was asked what was his religion ? The
man acknowledged that he was an Itraclite.-
44 It is somewhat paradoxical then," said his
Lordship," that you cannot be of the Ju-ry.
It has been invidiously and no doubt unjustly
insinuated that a certain Northern Duke was in-
duced to deliver his memorable speech on a re-
cent occasion, because he was not_invited to dine
at Dalkeith. The probability is that his Grace
was not actuated by so unwortll a motive, but
that it was merely the effect of 'rconvivial indis-
cretion, according to the old adage " when the
wine is in the wit is out."
