has been associated with so many atrocities
during the progress of the disturbances. We
aye not room, of course, for the details of the
numerous trials of the insurgents, a circum-
'lt4oce not much to be regretted, as our Readers
are already acquainted with the shocking transac-
tinns out of which, they have arisen. The exarni-
4ti" of Captain Rock Dillane, however, dis-
tlos
•es such a scene of unparalleled barbarity,
that, though we blush for our common nature, in
Putting upon record the horrible picture which
"jil-ill:lilt:te has unfolded, we think it our duty, as
fat
liv Chroniclers of the times in which we

- cannot, at the same time, but express our
disgust that the evidence of this wretch has been
re, •
"ved, and that he bus been permitted to save
his
"11 vile existence, by furthering the ends of

tice against his companions. We do not give
'Whole„ of his evidence, but only the most

MS MAJESTY.

PREPARATIONS IN THE CITY FOR THE DEPAR-

TIME OF lIIS MAJESTY FOR SCOTLAND.

For several days his MAJESTY's loyal Subjects in the City
have waited in anxious expectation for an official communica-
tion, announcing the time of his Majesty's departure, on his
visit to Scotland, in order that they might manifest their affec-
tion and respect in the highest possible manner. No informa-
tion, however, upon which much reliance could be placedi was
received upon the subject until yesterday, when the Chief Ma_
gistrate had due notification, that on Saturday morning at half_
past eight o'clock, the King would embark at Greenwich. This
notification was, we believe, accompanied by a wish upon the
part of his Majesty, that he should be attended as far as the
City limits extend, by the Lord Mayor and great Corporate
Bodies. His Lordship, long before he had been put in posses-
sion of his ,Majesty's intention of leaving Greenwich on Satur-
day, had given orders to the Water Bailiff, and other officers
under his jurisdiction on the Thames, to prepare the city
barge with all possible splendour for the oiciwaion of the
Royal departure, having, at an early period, been assured that
his Majesty was determined to set sail within the city bounda-
ries. He also sent round to the several Companies, expressing
his belief that it would be a source of gratification to the King
to see as numerous and respectable a body of citizens as could
be conveniently collected on the river, to witness the embark-
ation.
The hint was taken with alacrity, and already a num-
ber of elegantly ornamented barges are ranged together in the
Thames, as much in the neighbourhood of the grand entrance
as the Commodore, Sir Charles Paget, will permit. The Lord
Mayor will embark at the Tower-stairs on Saturday morn-
ing at six o'clock, in order that he may arrive at Greenwich
an hour and a half before his Majesty shall reach the Royal
Yacht. His Lordship will proceed in his barge, which is
to be towed along by a steam-boat immediately before the
Royal Yacht, as his Lordship will attend upon the occasion
as Chief Conservator of the Thames, and not in his office of
Mayor. As soon as the Lord Mayor shall have reached the
Medway, where we believe the city boundaries have their limit,
the City barge will salute the Royal Yacht and immediate-
ly return to the City. The Company in the City barge is to
consist of the Lord Mayor, the Lady Mayoress, all the Alder-
men and their Ladies, the whole amounting to about 50. His
Lordship will attend in full dress. Capt. Dall, of the James
Watt Steam-boat, is ordered to have his vessel in readiness by six
o'clock, in order that no delay may be occasioned to the Royal
Yacht. His Majesty is expected to land at Leith on Monday
about half-past two or three o'clock. He will proceed to the
Palace of Holyrood in his travelling dress, and he will be re-
ceived by the Duke of Hamilton as Hereditary Keeper. The
Lord Provost of Edinburgh will to received by his Majesty im-
mediately after. While in Scotland his Majesty's chief resi-
dence will be Dalkieth Palace, where he will be attended by only
eight persons : —Lord Gwydyr, Lord Greaves, Lord F. Conyng-
ham, Si; William Knighton, Sir Edmund Nagle, and three
persons of inferior rank.—On Wednesday, by special com-
mand of his Majesty, that part of the household which had
been shipped on board the James Watt steam ship, command-
ed by Captain Dall, was removed to the steam packet Tourist,
which sailed yesterday for Edinburgh. The James Watt has
been selected for the King's accommodation, and is now fitted
up in the most splendid manner to receive his Majesty on
board, should it be his pleasure to leave his yacht during his
voyage to Scotland. This superb steam ship and the Tourist
were both examined on Wednesday by the proper officers of his
Majesty's squadron, and the great superiority of the James
Watt obtained for her the distinguished honour of a Royal
.
command to wait on his Majesty during his Northern voyage.

(From. the 05server of Monday last.)

It is rather singular that no Sovereign of Great Britain has
ever been in Scotland who was not in the line of the ancient
Scottish Monarchs, according to the undoubted assent of all
parties ; and that no such Sovereign could have been here but
George the Fourth. Charles the Second was here, who was
unquestionably in that line : from his time, to the death of the
Cardinal of York (late in the reign of George III.), the Royal
Family was divided. The claims of the exiled branch of it were
maintained to the very last, by a party who were called Jacobites,
which latterly was not a very large party, but which yet survived
in Scotland. and persevered in supporting the right of that fa-
mily to the Throne of Britain. By the death of the Cardinal of
York, the Jacobite party have become completely triumphant;
for we are all now ifacobites, thorough-bred Jacobites, in acknow-
ledging George IV. If George 111. had been here, or any of
his predecesssors, back to James 11. (VII.), it might have been
said by the Jacobites that he was not the legitimate Monarch,
inasmuch as the elder branch of his family was preserved in the
persons of the ejected Stuarts; but nothing of the kind can be
I
said of George V.: and Scotland is in the singular situation (.4
making preparations to hail the arrival to a Sovereign,who unites
in his person all the claims to the throne, whether de ii: re or de
facto, which' any party has ever set up and which no-Sovereign
'has been able to boast since the Royal visit which Scotland re,
ceived, if we except the short and feverish reign of James 11.
(VII.), though in fact he was here when Duke of York. This
seems to be one of the feelings that stimulate the people here, at
the present time, to make such,great exertions.. Our King is
the heir of the Chevalier, in wnose service the Scotch suffered
so much, shone so much ; and he will find many a Flora" Ma-
cdonald amongst the " Sisters of the Silver Cross," and many
a faithful Highlander attending on his Throne, with the
forester's bugle and bow.
