MISCELLANEOUS.

Tile regular Mail from Madrid, which also
brinks the Cadiz and Gibraltar letters, did not
arrive in London on Thursday last, It has since
been ascertained that the person _conveying it.
Shortly after leaving- Victoria, found the road
mipeded by a skirmish between a small party of
the Royalists and Constitutionalists, and, fearful
that his letters would be seized, returned to Vic-
toria. The Mails of Thursday and Monday
ilext are expected to arrive together.
Lt,.tters from Stettin, of the 10th inst. state
that an order had arrived there from Berlin, for
'giving that place the privileges of a free port.
The repot ts of the illness,"and even the death
of the POPE, and the certainty that this can be
n 0
very distant event, have revived, it is said,
with more than usual keenness, the political and
ecclesiastical intrigue's with which that prize is
esought. Austria naturally seeks to confirm and
enxftend'her dOminion in Italy by the appointment
a POPE in her interest, and one of the Arch-
'e`, who is a Cardinal, is spoken of as the
probable successor.

THE KING.

EDINBURGH, WEDNESDAY, THREE O'CLOCK.

It is said to be his Majesty's intention to visit the Earl of
Hopetoun to-day, at his elegant retreat, about sixteen miles
from town ; but that he will dine at Dalkeith.—His Majesty
is to inspect the performances of the Scottish Artists to-morrow.
The greatest emulation prevails to make the collection ample
and splendid, as, independently of the anxiety which prevails
to gratify the Sovereign, a strong desire is felt to obtain the
approbation of so eminent •a judge of the Fine Arts. The
Peers' ball takes place on Friday evening.—The grand proces-
sion from Holyrood to the Castle has been postponed till Satur-
day.—On Sunday his Majesty hears' Divine Service in the
High Church. The Moderator of the General Assembly, Dr.
Lamont, has been appointed to the honourable office of preach.
ing on that occasion."—On Tuesday the King attends the
Theatre; and on Wednesday his Majesty leaves his loving
Northern subjects for LOndon.

( From the Edinburgh Observer.)

The first Drawing-room held at the Palace of Holyrood-house
excited great interest, 'and the wetr.ess.of the day had no effect
in thinning the ranks of the spectators assembled to see the
King and the company going to Court. In the Park, indeed,
the crowd was much greater than it had hitherto been. Old
Holyrood looked quite in the splendour and vigour of its youth
again. The approach to the staircase presented a new appear.
ance, for, instead of the solitary wanderers in the Piazza, the
whole side along the columns was occupied by well dressed
spectators, whilst the Archers and the Celts added to the bustle,
and brought back to our recollection the days of Waverley.
The Royal Progress is now, we may say, finally fixed for to-
Morrow ; and it is expected that the ceremonial will be given
in an Extraordinaq Gazette in the course of this day. In its
general feature it is the same with that adopted and so well
executed at his Majesty's landing and reception. The Judges
are left out; but then we have a great and important novelty
upon this occasion, which is the carrying of the Regalia of Scot-
land. The Crown will be carried by the Duke of Hamilton,
as Earl of Angus ; the Sceptre by Lord Francis Leveson Gower,
and the Sword by the Earl of Morton.
The only doubt we have is in regard to the -bearer of the
Sceptre,_ and the result of our inquiry leads us more and more
to think that this arrangement is by no means correct; .but as we
are open to conviction, we shall in the mean time give our view.
The reason assigned is (if we are rightly: informed), that the
Earls of Sutherland had the right of carrying the Sceptre, and
that the Marchioness of Stafford has the Earldom of Sutherland
in her own-right, and may carry the sceptre by her deputy. Now,
upon every investigation, we have had.leisure' to make,' it seems
clear to us, that the family of Sutherland never had such a
right—that the sceptre was once carried by an Earl of Suther-
land is true, and perhaps he may have carried it oftener, but on
these occasions he had that honour, .because of his seniority in
the Peerage alone, and not from any heritable right. We do
not 'speak from the family charters, but we speak from other do-
cuments, some of which have just been published by Mr.
Blackwood. Acts of the. Privy Council ordain the sword and
sceptre to be carried by the senior Peer present, and accordingly
five or six Peers have carried the screptre upon public solemnities
since the Earl of Sutherland died. But suppose a right did
exist in the Sutherland family, it is equally clear that the proxy
should be a person qualified to perform the duty, and in our
opinion, no person holding a title only by courtesy is qualified
to bear any part of the honors of Scotland.
The honors of Scotland were always borne by a Peer of
Parliament, both in compliment to the Regalia themselves, and
to avoid the dilemma arising from the incongruity of bringing a
person within the bar of Parliament, who, by the regulations of
the House, was liable to he turned out. These are merely our
opinions, and being so, we judged fit to state them ; and we
trust our doing so will be taken amiss, for we can assure
Lord Francis Leveson Gower that we look upon him with the
highest regard, and our writing at present is strictly confined to
the dignity and rights of our Regalia, and we even anticipate
his Lordship's approbation of our views on this subject.
Having said this much respecting the Regalia; we shall give
our readers a copy of what we conceive is likely to be the order
of the procession, which it is expected will move from the Pa-
lace of Holyrood House about one o'clock on Thursday.

with sand along which the procession is to pass.
It is understood, that should the procession, from the state
of the weather, or other causes, be postponed, this will be
announced by two guns tired from the Castle, repeated by two
from the Calton hill.
