THE KING.

EDINBURGH, FRIDAY NIGHT, AUG. 16.

Last night the liege men of the North were gratified by the
most brillkant display of fireworks ever seen in Scotland. A
large scaffold was erected at the west end of George's-street, close
to the rails of Charlotte-square. The concourse was immense;
filling the whole street as, far as the Assembly Rooms, and all
seemed highly delighted and in, great good humour with the
exhibition. The illumination has just begun. Our City is
certainly the hest calculated for such a sight of any in the
world. The appearance of the lights in the high irregular
buildings of the Old Town, looking into Princes-street,
have a most picturesque effect, more particularly to those who
have Seen in the habit of contemplating them merely as a
high, dark,. irregular mass. The regular streets of the New
Town are lighted with more brilliancy but have scarcely so fine
an effect. The public buildings and m'any of the houses of the
Nobility and Gentry, with Club Rooms, Newspaper Offices,
&c. disilay appropriate transparencies • and devices. Among
the most prominent we remark the following:—
Custom House—A Star, .with the Rose,. Thistle, and Sham-
rock.

Excise Office—The Cross of St.-Andrew, between Thistles,
IV. It. surmounted' by the Crown—lnseription, " Salve
pater patrite,"
Royal Bank and- British Linen Company's Bank—Devices
the same as the Excise Office—lnsqipcion, " Long live the
King." As these two buildings form wings to the Excise Offiee,
the toat ensemble has the effect of one immense building uni-
formly decorated.
New Club House, St. Andrew's-square—Star of the Order
of the Thistle, with a rich festoon.
Sir Ml. Shaw Stewart's House, in Queen-street—The Crown
—lnscription, " For ever."
Union Club, Queen-street-4nacription, Hurra."
Assembly Rooms, George-street, front of the. Portico—Crown
auO Thistle, G. IV. It., on the sides, diamond of coloured
lamps.
The House of the Lord Provost, Charlotte-square.—Brilliant
Stars between each window—lnscription, " Righ abin go
brath." . • -

Sheriff Dan's, Charlotte-square.—Crown and Star, G. R.—
Inscription; .". God save the• King."
Tax Office, Princes-street.—Crown, Stars, and Festoons.

Bank Of Seotland-Crown and Stars, Cr. IV. IL flanked
with diamonds. The pillars of the building surrounded with
spiral wreaths Of coloured laMps. •• • • : • , .
Courant Ofiniee:—CroWn and Star, G. IV. R.—lnseripticin;
" Wekome to Auld Reekie." • . . .- •

Register atrice—Crown, Sword and Mace, Palm and Olive
Branches Rose, Shamrock, and Thistle the whole surmounted
wii a brilliant Star-raised on the top of Parapet.
Centre Groupe of the North side of Charlotte-square, con-
sisting of-the houses of Lord Justice Clerk, flanked by that
of Sir John Majoribanks on the left, and Mr.
,Polish on' the
right; forms one grand mass, consisting of the Crown, with
G. IV. It. in the centre, with the Rose and Thistle in a wreath
below—luscription, " God save the King," " Happy may he
live," " Long may he reign."
Mr. Trotter's, Princes-street.—A splendid Rose, Thistle,
and Crown—Transparency, the Royal Arms.
The Centre Buildings of the Regent's Bridge most splendid-
ly illuminated with the emblems of Royalty, and of the Na
don, to correspond with each other.
Physicians' Hall—Crown, Stars, and -Festoons.
Parliament-House—Festoons, brilliant Stars, G. IV. R.
Lord Wemyss, Queen-street—Crown and Thistle, G. IV. R.

respond to Lord W—'s--Inscription, " Our King..—Trans-
parency, the Goddess of Commerce enthroned on a cotton bag,

M. 1"., surrounded by the bales and hogstieads of the Magnates
of that opulent city. In the distance, a cotton-mill and smoke
cone; the City Arms on a shield.
The whole seems hitherto to go on joyously, lhit peaceably,
and from every indication at present, it is confidently expected
that it will go off without confusion or riot.
ARRIVAL OF THE KING AT DALSEITH.—His Majesty-
has been received in this town with manifestations of the most
perfect loyalty and attachment. The people assembled in
crowds to hail the arrival their Sovereign, and at night_
a general illumination took place with a grand display
of fireworks. Numerous bonfires blazed on all the surrounding
hills, and in short every thing was done to testify the joy of the.
people generally.at his Majesty's visit. His Majesty had yes-
terday a selectparty to-dine with him, consisting principally' of
the great Officers. of the Household, with 'three or foal-ether
distinguished Persim?.ges. The grounds and scenery around.
this town cannot, it is presumed, fail to -accord with his MA-•
jesty's approved taste, and we way venture to hope, that he-
will be induced to prolong his sojourn with us at least for some
days beyond the very short period he has prescribed to himself.
His. Majesty arrived from Edinburgh at half-past three o'clock,
in a close carriage, and a guard of honour lined the streets as
he passed along. '
EDINBURGH, SATURDAY, AUG; 17.
His. Majesty arrived in town from Dalkeith early this morn-
ing in his travelling chariot and four horses, accompanied by
the Marquis of Conynham and the Earl of Winchelsea, and
alighted at Holyroodhouse, at a quarter past ten, preparatory to
the Levee which was this day opened at 12 o'clock. Along
the streets on the line appointed for carriages, were placed di-
visions of the Scotch fifty's to prevent interruption, and the
_ Court-yard of the Palace was occupied by the archers ; 'some
companies of the 13th Foot,and 3 bands of music played national
airs, both in the front -court and lawn. At twelve o'clock the
-carriages began to set down. All the Officers of State, Judges,
and Law Officers 9f the Crown had precedence, by a different
entry from that to the public in front : 140 carriage 3 conveyed
the nobility and gentry to his Majesty's • Levee ; the greater
part.of the company were dressed inn militarynniform. The
whole of .the Nobility whose names were mentioned in the pro-
cession of Majesty's entrance were in attendance, as well as
the principal Gentlemen of the -Scottish Bar and Church.—
His Majesty seemed in better spirits than he was on the
day of his a great crowd occupied the avenues to the
Palace, but the utmost order prevailed. His Majesty yesterday
received several visitors at Dalkeith ; among them were the young
Duke of Buccleuch, the Duke of Doaset, the Marquis of Lo-
thian, and Earl of Winchilsea; the Eaals of Fife and Lauder-
dale, and Lord Melville; had a long audience. The King, at 7
o7clock, had a select party to dinner. The principal officers on duty
at the palace this week are the Earlof HoPetoun, Captain-General,
Sir GeorgF Mackenzie,' Sir David and Lietitionant-
• General Sir John Rope. The illuminations list night were
uncommonly brilliant, the streets were crowded to excess,
and the theatre closed at nine o'clOck. The appearance of the,
illuminations was extremely grand from the elevated ground
about the city. Rockets and discharges of artillery and small
firms were repeatedly fired from the Castle, Calton H ill, Salisbury.
Craigs, Leith battery, and the ships of war, and the vivid flashes
from these gloomy (bights had a sublime effect. It is most gra-
tifying to add, that the whole of these rejoicings passed off with-
out the occurrence of any serious accident. The civic feast will.
be given to his Majesty on Thursday next, the Peers' ball on
Friday, and the ball of the Caledonian Hunt on the Monday
following. The King, it is expected, will attend. these balls ;
but it is doubted whchier he will lay the first stone of the na-
tional monument on Calton Hill. There is a carriageway as-
cending within a dozen yards of the spot, so that the ceremony
might be performed without any great personal inconvenience
ttoo
lhisdlYalyasj.enty. It is said that the • King's stay will bliimited

( From the Edinburgh Advertiser qf Friday, August 16.)
His Majesty left the Palace for Dalkeith, at half-past three,
' and as he stept into his'earriage, he called Lord Lviiedoch to
him, and expressed, in the hearing of many individuals, the
great satisfaction he had experienced to-day, and stated, that
he had never been more gratified in his lifetime, particu-
larly with the admirable arrangements that had been made.
—Soon after four o'clock, his Majesty enter,d Dalkeith ; he
was in a close carriage, and passed to the. pulaee at a quick.
pace, 'amidst the loudest cheers .of the people, and waving of
handkerchiefs from- the windowS. A handsome triumphal arch
had been erected at the entranec to the High-street, beautifully,
decorated with flowers and fruits,_ ,surmounted by a lz.rge crown
with, the motto, " God save the King ;" at night a brilliant
illumination took place. The Scots Greys patroled the roads
in the vicinity of . the Palace during the night, and a small
cf the third Regiment of Foot. Guards are in attendance.
Vith regard, to the number of spectators who were yester-
day gratified with a Sight of their Sovereign, the very circum-
stance of the grotind being so eminently favourable to admit
of their seeing him distinctly, prevented the possibility of esti-
mating their number'in a manner at all approaching to accu-
racy ; but we may readily suppose that of our own popula-
tiJo, including Leith, not less than 90,000 saw their King ;
that the rest of the country at least supplied 10,000; that of
the inhabitants of Glasgow, whs from the first intimation of

his Majesty's intention not to visit the-West of Scotland, have
displayed uncommon eagerness in coming to our city, it is
generally admitted there weronot fewer than 50,000 ; these
numbers- put together make 150,000 ; and ' supposing that
the whole of Scotland besides- .did not send more than the
Metropolitan county and the two principal cities; there must
thus have been three hundred thousand of his Majesty's Scot-
tish subjects who saw him within the short space of two hours,.
and all these independently of a •erreat 'number from the•
northern counties of ..ngland. The day was. reMarlXablY
fine, the amazing crowd sepaeatod in the best possible order,
and we are happy to-add that Trot a single accident has come to
our knowledge. At -night a-brilliant display of fire works:took
place in Charlotte-square, which excited much admiration, And,
obtained repected applause. It was indeed one of 'the finest
exhibitions of the kind ever witnessed in Edinburgh. His Ma-
jesty will hold his first Levee to-morrow, and the Drawing-
room will take Place on 'Tuesday. ' On Monday he will receive
addresses on • the Throne. Royal Standards are displayed On.
the Castle and Salisbury Crags, and the Union is flying. od
Nelson's Monument and the Artillery stations on the Calton
Hill, and will continue during his Majesty's stay.

( From the E4.l;:turg:l4 Observer of Saturday.)
His Majesty expressed his great delight at his reception,
and at the appearance of the city and people, to several persons
to whom we have spoken. We yesterday heard, from the best
authority, that his. Majesty, was quite confounded with delight,
at the first appearance of Leith. At Holyroiid House his Ma-
jesty said, that " he had been often told the Scotch were proud;
and well they might be'," added he, " they seem to me to be a
nation of gentlemen." One circumstance, we are proud to Men-
tion, as it gives a better idea of the characteristics of the_Scot-.
tish people, than volumes written on the same subject would
convey ; there is not one single record on the police books cf
this metropolis,
.of any offence committed . against the laws,
since his-Majesty has been in,Seotland. ,

[From the Edinburgh Cokrant'.Ang: 17.]
- His Majesty had otr• Thursday a select party to dine with
him, consisting principally of the great Officers of the House-
hold, with three or, four other .distinguished personages.—
