HOLYROOD HOUSE.—Preparations are making in the Pa-
lace of Holyrood House for the reception of his Majesty ; the
apartments are admirably arranged for the purpose they are so
soon to be put to; and we hear that few of the palaces in his
Majesty's possessionafford soniuch convenience for the:reception
and presentation of company. It is intended that the company
are to be ushered into the great picture gallery, there to remain
till their turn arrives. They are then to proceed through the-
suite of rooms on the east, which look into St. Ann's-yards,
and also through those on the south side, which look into the
square. At the end of these is the presence chamber, where
the throne is erected. The ceiling of this room has been
neatly painted, of a light brown, or fawn colour, and the
walls covered with fine scarlet cloth, with rich gold mould-
ings all round the room. There the company will be
presented to the King, and retire by a separate door.—
The room prepared for giving private audience is immediately
next to the presence chamber ; it is very elegantly fitted up, as
are also the dressing room and retiring room, into which there
is made a direct access from the private road. Yesterday the
Most Noble the Marquis of Lothian, and the Right Hon. Lord
Melville, visited Dalkeith Palace, and inspected the arrange-
ments made for his ,Majesty's reception, (every thing being
complete) with which they expressed themselves highly pleased.
—"Yesterday twelve pieces of ordnance were placed on the sum-
mits of the Calton Hill, fronting the south, west, and north,
and tents pitched for the artillerymen. Six pieces, with a small
encampment of gunners, were also placed on the part of Salis-
bury Crags overlooking the Palace of Ho]yrood. The general
illumination is to take place on Tuesday, should his Majesty ar-
rive on Monday—the evening after his arrival being the time
fixed for this demonstration of rejoicing. Fire-works are to be
let off' at the western extremity of George-street. The grand
and lofty summit of Arthur's Scat is already covered with
an immense quantity of combustibles prepared for the bonfire.
The gallery over the front of the Royal Exchange, for the ac-
commodation of Ladies, to see the Royal Procession, is already
in a state of great forwardness. A stage to accommodate the
Noblemen and Gentlemen connected with the county and
their families is also begun to be elected at the north end of the
County Hall.—The Earl of Breadalbane has given orders for
the equipment of 50 of his tenantry in the family tartan, to at-
tend upon his Majesty in Scotland. Lamps have been placed
all the way from this city to Dalkeith; they are placed at in.
tervals of about 10 yards. At a numerous meeting of the
County of Edinburgh, held on Monday, the :Marquis of
Lothian, the Lord Lieutenant, in the Chair, the Earl of
Morton moved that a dutiful and loyal address should be
presented to his Majesty, on occasion of his visit to Scot-
land, and produced an address, which his Lordship read and
proposed should be adopted by the meeting. The Earl of
Roseberry having, in an eloquent speech, seconded the motion,
the same was usanimously agreed to.—Yesterday the Students
attending the University held a meeting in the natural philosophy
class-room, when they resolved, that, on the occasion of the
procession of his Majesty, they should wear either blue or
black coats, and that each colour should form a body by itself.—
The Society of. Solicitors in the Supreme Courts met on Mon-
day, and unanimously voted a loyal address to his Majesty, on
his expected arrival in this city. The Society of Solicitors at
Law also voted an address, in their hall, on Friday last. The
Forte frigate arrived in Leith Roads, and fired a salute of 15 guns
yesterday morning, which was answered by the Dover (flag-ship.)
—The Society of Printers, and others connected with the pro-
fession, baying been invited, along with the other public
bodies to take a station on the streets during his Majesty's pro-
cession to the Castle, a meeting of the body took place on Mon-
day, when it was resolved to provide an appropriate standard,
and to range themselves under the preses and office-bearers of
the society. They will turn out about 300 strong. The
society was instituted in 1750 for benevolent purposes.

[From the Edinburgh Courant, June B.]

Yesterday, at the Meeting of the Town Council, an Address
to his Majesty on his arrival in this City was unanimously
agreed to, and will be presented on the clay of his arrival.—The
Peeresses and Ladies of rank will probably'occupy a stand of their
own, between the corner of the High church and the Police-office.
A triumphal arch has been commenced in Constitution-street,
Leith, through which his Majesty is to pass on his way to this
city.--The King of the Netherlands steam packet arrived at
Newhaven on Monday morning, having on board twenty-five
°this Majesty's Household.

Tier PARK AND THE GARD'ENS.—Since the last week tha
departures have been very numerous, particularly yesterday,
owing, no doubt, to the movement of the King. in the ride
and the drive we observed' nothing new : there were but few
carriages. The Gardens boasted a considerable number of de-
gantly-driased promenaders.

POETRY.

APOSTROPHE TO GREECE.

Oh, Greece ! thou fairy-land of school-boy hours,
Thou earthly paradise of youthful dreams—
How have I rambled through thy classic bowers,
And hung in fancy o'er thy fabled streams !
And now again the sun of glory gleams
From its pure heaven ; and Victory's angel smiles
And all that valour deems immortal beams
Around thy lovely vales and sunny isles;
And hosts are met again, in thy unstained defiles ;
And heroes, as of old, undaunted rise, .
Call'd to the battle for thy hearths and fanes ;
And banners float in thy unruffled skies,
And warlike m:isic echoes from thy plains,
And swords leap forth at the inspiring strains :
Who would not rush to combat for thy sake—
When she they love of forcign yoke complains !
Oh Europe ! may thy valiant spirit wake
And the oppressor from his grasp of bondage shake !

LEWES RACES EXTRAORDINARY.—The ground was co-
vered at an early hour with carriages, horsemen, and pedestrians.
Three horses were to start, but as one was suddenly taken ill;
another bolted from' the starting-post. The rider of the turd
turned his courser's head, and jogged off' to his master's stsb!es,
which were only a few miles distant. We have learned that
the company retired highly grazifed with their sport.

SECOND EDITION.

Stiti-OFFICE,iIALr-rA3T Two o'CLoci-:.

The it r.uediate cause of the lamented death of
the Marq.of LONDONDERRY was, we understand,
the gout in his stomach, supposed to have been
brought on by the incessant labour ,of body and
mind of one of the most harassing. arid fatiguing
Sessions that Parliament ever witnessed. As soon
as the melancholy tidings reached town, a dis-
•
patch was instantly sent 'off to the Earl of LINER-
POOL, Fclio .was every moment expected in town.
We consider this loss as a natibnal: calamity,
which, in the present state of things, may be
deemed absolutely irreparable..
