CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 14.

Our market is this morning in a state of stagnation, and
nothing Could be done in the Wheat Trade to-day ' • the stands
well supplied with every thing, but no sales could be effected in
any thing'; Flour fell ss. per sack on the lattmpart of Monday,
but too late, for our report. The Millers complain of a want. of
water, which caused the trade to hesitate in lowering the price
of Flour.
MR INTELLIGENCE.

Sou TnwAnK, AUG. 12 —We have nothing
.new in cur
trade to communicate. The accounts from the various planta-
tions atc rather more favourable ; no one will bet against
135,0001. duty.
MAIDSTONE, Aun. 12.—Within the last three or four
days we certainly have had a very considerable improvement in a
great many of our Hop . Plantations ; the Golden and Canter-
buries promise an average crop. but the Grape and inferior
sorts are still very defective. We certainly at places hive more
mould, and a great many gardens much injured by the flea.
According to present appearances, we think, the duty may ex-
ceed our calculation, but the event must still be considered un-
certain. • "

PAals, Alio. 10.—A pamphlet, entitled Bo-
naparte et Murat, Ravisseurs dune jeune fenzinc,
was a few years ago the subject of an action
more or less scandalous, between the Lady and
her first husband,•M. Revel, formerly .a Captain
of Cavalry. The affair seemed forgotten in the
Courts, but a crowd was collected again yester-
day in the Chamber of the First Instance by a
new episode. The object of the cause is
to fix the condition of the minor Leon,
now aged seventeen, who has performed a
great part in the memoires and pleadings of
M. Revel. About 1819, M. Revel insti-
tuted a suit to bastardize this youth, who ap-
peared to be taken under the particular protec-
tion of the Buonaparte family, and whose for-
tune had been doubled by the good management
of his guardians, Count Mauvieres and Baron
Meneval. He affirms that this youth is the son
of his wife, that he was admitted to the civil
state in 1806, under the name of her family, and
that he disavows him as the offspring of adultery,
because his birth coincides with the period of
the commencement of the process of divorce, and
when he, Revel, was confined in the prison of
Dourdan. P 4. Dupin, Counsel for Baron Me-
neval, represents the action as the result of skil-
ful. tactics on the part of 'M. Revel, who, by
circuitous .means, endeavours to claim a youth
who belongs neither to him nor his wife. The
cause is adjourned for 4 vteek.

HIS MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.

[PRIVATE LETTER: FRCIM EL)INBU.RGI,IS AI:GIJ4T 10.1

Chir preparations for receiving his MAJESTY are now nearly
completed; for the last three,weeks all, has been ,hurry and
.bustle, but the din, has, at last begun, in some degree, to Sub.
side, and the workmen seem busy.in,pptting ,the finishing stroke
to the numerous scaftbldings that, are erecting in, every part of
the city through which his Majesty is. expected to pass..
The Castle-hill looking towards Prince's-street h►as had mar-
quees pitched upon it wherever a spot of level ground was to
be found on which one could stand. The Calton-hill and the
lower part of Arthur's Seat are studded with tents for the ac-
commodation of those who are conducting operations there ;
and the summit of the latter, viewed from below, has much
the aspect of a gigantic ant-hill, the groupe that crowd the
crest of it bearing up timber and tar-barrels for the bonfires,
diminished by the height and distance to the size of pigmies.
The scaffolding that still surrounds the new monument
erected to the late Lord Melville by the officers of the Navy,
will be removed to-night, as it is now finished so far as the
architecture goes, and only wants the statue on the top to com-
plete it.
The Royal Archers' Company met at four o'clock in the
Physicians' Hall, in George's-street, for the purpoie of being.
sized and divided into proper squads for the procession and
duties during the Royal visit. Their costume is that of the an-
cient Scotch bowmen, and the material, a green tartan slaihed
with green satin; overalls of the same, with a broad stripe of
silver lace; Celtic hose, with a large rosette of black ribband,
in the shoes, and a ruff' round the neck ; a close bonnet and
eagle's plume ; the arms, the bow, and a dagger, in a broad
leather belt.

But what has chiefly attracted the notice of the city to-day
was a meeting of the. Celtic Society, in full costume, to receive
their colours. They assembled in the field fronting the east
division of Heriot-row about half-past twelve o'clock. The
Gentlemen composing that most imposing body of men had a
very fine appearance ; the variety of the costume (each wearing
the tartan of his respective clan), though it detracted from strict
military uniformity, added much to the picturesque effect of
the groupe.
" The Gathering" was then sounded by the chief piper of
the Society, and the Gentlemen fell in and drilled for some
time on their private parades ; after which Gen. Graham Stir-
ling, who commanded on the field, formed them into line by an
echelon of divisions, and afterwards wheeled them back into a
hollow square, facing inwards. These manoeuvres were per-
formed with a steadiness truly astonishing, if we consider the
very short time that has been allowed them for preparation, and
that many of them never before were accustomed to military
movements. '

About half-past one Sir Walter Scott, accompanied by Co-
lonel David Stuart (author of the work on the kfighland Regi-
ments) entered the square, and the colours being placed in their
hands by General Graham Stirling, Sir Walter Scott addressed
the corps nearly in the following terms :
" Highlanders—ln delivering to you those standards, I am
convinced that I am placing them into the hands of men' of
honour and courage, who will never bring a stain on their pu-
rity, and who will defend them with their best blood.
" I cannot perform this most gratifying duty without offer-
ing you my most sincere congratulations on the occasion on
which these ensigns are presented to you, and the honourable
office that has been assigned to you on this most joyful occa-
sion of his Majesty honouring this realm with his presence.—
The duty of guarding the ancient emblems of the Independence
of this kingdom has devolved upon you ; and though upon this
occasion you only draw these swords on a business of form and
ceremony, yet should the h9ur of real danger arrive, I have no
doubt that you will do credit to the lineage from which you are
sprung, and stand forward in the foremost ranks of danger for
the rights' and liberties of your country, as becomes men of
honour, of courage, and of loyalty."
The colours were then presented by Sir Walter Scott and Co-
lonel David Stuart, and the corps saluted in the ancient Celtic
fashion, the pipes sounding during the salute. A Most solemn
and impressive prayer was then delivered by the Rev. Dr.
Anderson, the Chaplain to the Society, and when it was coo-
chided the corps were marched off with their pipers playing
before them to the Assembly-roomS, where they took the oath
of allegiance. The standards are of white satin, with the Blue
Cross of St. Andrew in the Star of the Thistle ; the borders
are surrounded with silver fringe.
There was a most numerous and respectable assembly of
spectators on the ground, who seemed all highly delighted with
the splendid and martial appearance of the Celtic body, and
the imposing effect of the ceremonial.
It was intended that the Regalia should have been removed
from the Strong Room -in the- Castle at four o'clock to-day
under the guard of the Celtic body, and the Yeomen were hur-
ried out to assist at the ceremony, but Mr. Peel not having
arrived so early as was expected, it was put off till Monday.

THE LADIES OF THE SILVER CROSS.

We understand that the bard of " mine own romantic town,"
the worthy Poet whom Scotland loves," has been selected by
some of our most distinguished countrywomen to undertake a
gallant mission in their service. He has been charged, we
believe, as their Seal Knight, to greet the approach of our
Royal Visitor to this shore, and to do homage• in their name,
by laying the ancient emblem of Scotland at his Majesty's
feet. The design of this elegant offering is chaste, and worthy
of the fair hands that formed it. It consists of a broad and
rich cross of pearls, raised on blue velvet, and inclosed within a
belt of gold, on which is embroidered with pearls the Gaelic
motto of Riogh albham gubratle (Hail to the King of Scotland.)
The belt is attached by a brilliant diamond buckle, and from
its extremity is suspended a magnificent pearl, the produce of
Scotland, and probably the finest ever found. in this country.
The whole is surmounted by the Imperial Crown, girt round
with brilliants, and richly decorated with-rubies, emeralds, and
the topaz, alternating with pearls, in the manner of the ancient
Scottish Crown, so long forgotten, and so ominously brought
to light at this auspicious period. A band with a buckle of
Scottish gems is adjusted, so as to admit of this elegant and
costly jewel being worn either on the hat, or bound round the
arm.

We anticipate with delight the gratification which could not
fail to fill every Scottish bosom, were we to behold the much-
loved descendant of our ancient Monarchs step on shore, bear-
ing on his sacred person the emblem of Scotland, and that em-
blem from the hands of the fair daughters of the land. Long
may he continue to honour a badge so dear to Scotland, and
share with its loyal inhabitants that proud feeling of patriotism,
which equally led our rude ancestors to victory, and made us
their children earn our share in the recent glories of Britain.

We understand that his Grace the Archbishop
of YORK made an offer to receive the KING at his Grace's
palace, at Bishopthorpe, in case his MAJESTY returned from
the North through York ; but his MAJESTY has signified to his
Grace, through an official channel, that it will not be in the
power of his MAJESTY to avail himself of his Grace's offer, as
his MAJESTY, according to his present arrangements, will not
have the opportunity of visiting York..(Lceds Intelagencer.)
