REGALIA OF >COFLAND.

'We have the pleasure to announce to the pub-
lic, that the examination of the Crown-room and
chest, supposed to contain the regalia of Scot-
land,look place on Wednesday last at one o'clock,
and was attended with complete success. The
Commissioners present were the Lord President.
Lord Justice Clef k, Lord Chief Commissioner,
General Hope, Lord Provost, the Solicitor-Gette-
tal, Mr. Walter St:Ott, Mr. [lvory Jardine, Mr.
Wiliam Chok, uod Mr. 'Ho-mason. Apologies
were made for Vs Grace the Duke of Becclench,
se'lo was confined by indispositiott, and for the
Doke of Gordon and the Lord Advocate, olio were
absent from Edinburgh. The Cononssioners
met in the Governor's house in the Castle, and
were received by the guard under arms, and the
military band. After leading the Royal Commis-
sion and other official docements, they pros, cacti.
to the Cferm-room, when do. Ning's smi•h ;Lod
earpeno-r removed the f,ooo:iugs of two doors,
the outer o 0.l , and the inner compoed if grates
itooo after pteriously aseet o.iniog that tht y had •
not been (Tenet' since the former cononi!siott to
search for records in 179-1. Nothing was found its
the room but a large oblong oaken chest, secured
by two strong locks, for which no keys had beets
found., The Commissioners, according to the
tenor of their warrant, directed the chest to be
forced open,• which was effected with soioe diffi-
culty. It was found to contain the et ono),
Sceotre, and Sword of State of Scotland, answer-
ing, in the most minute particulars. to their de-
scription in the lustrument of Depositation, 2G h
March 1707, which is printed in Nishet's Heral-
dry, vol. 2d, and more correctly in Mr. Thom-
son's late publication from the records of the
Jewel Office. There.was also a silver rod of office,
of which the peculiar use is not yet ascertained.
So soon as the existence of these venerable aod
precious relics of our na•ional holependeoce W 13
ascertained, the royal standard was hoisted, and
the soldiers cheered a salute, which was heartily
echoed from the Castle IEI, where a numerous
crowd had assembled, anxious to kali; the event
of the search after these interesting metnorials,on
the fate at which some mystery had been sop-
posed co test. Indeed we could not but feel flat-
tered by the general interest expressed by all
ranks upon an occasion so intimately connected
wit), the ancient bottom- of Scotland.
We are enabled to stale, that the workmanship
of the crown and sceptre are highly elegant, awl
in good taste ; the sword being a prc cut Irons
Pope Julius to James IV. is of a !satyr+) corre-
sponditig to the exccllen:.‘e of the arts of Italy at
that classical period. Nothing else was found in
the chest, excepting a copy of the act of deposi-
tation. The regalia were replaced in the chest,
which was again properly secured.
We understaod that, after some deliberation,
the Commissioners have come to a resolution that
they are not entitled aeain to open diet-town-room,
either to gratify their own curiosity, or that of
the public, until they have made a report to the
Pritice Regent. But there can he little doubt that
his Royal Highness, to whose direct personal in-
structionsvwe owe the gratification we have re-
ceived oo a subject so interesting, will 01th21. rota
sures for gratitying the.public cutiesity opon a
point of oreb gr.eat national interest, so soon as
-..the necessary precautions and reulations can be
adopted for that purpose.—(Ediaburgit Luarant,
