EDINBURGH, JAN. 7.

The Lords of Session took the o4ths to his Ma-
jesty King GCoRGE IV. on Friday, and were
~worn in by IValter Scott, Eq. senior Clerk of
Senion, in the first•division of the Court.

Yesterday the mourning here feu his Majesty
was very general, and evinced the high tespert
in which he was held by all classes. The bells
did not ring as usual, but tolled for church, alid
appropriate and *pressing sermons 'were deli-
vered from all the pulpits.
On Friday the PRINCE REGENT was proclaimed,
at Glasgow, King of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland, with the usual solem•
nities. The Gentlemen who formed the proces-
sion consisted of at least GOO, and every thing
was conducted with the greatest order and regu-
larity. The bells of•the city were tolled in the
forenoon for two hours. The day was remark-
ably fine.

We learn .from Paisley, that the succession of
his Itsoyal Highness George, late Prince of Wnle3,
to the Imperial Crown of ti►e United Kingdom,
was proclaimed there on Friday, with due so-
Ictm►nity.

The Proclamation of his Majesty King George
IV. was made at the Matket-cross and Pier-head
of Dunbar, on Saturday, by the Sheriff-Sub-
stitute of fladdingtonsitire. The procession
consisted of the Magistrates, Sheriff, Sheriti•Clerk,
Practitioners of the Sheriff Court residing in
Dunbar, the Town Council, and principal Inhabi-
tants. A gun announced that the procession was
set out ; and atter reading the Proclamation at
the pier.head, a royal salute Was fired from the
battery, amidst the cheers of a great concou:sc
of people. The procession then retorned.to the
inn, and- drank to the health of. the King, then
the Duke of York and the rest of the Royal Fa-
mily, each by three tirws three.
Saturday, his Majesty George IV: ruse pro,
claimed at the Cross, Aberdeen, with the usual so-
lemnities, in presence of the Lord Plovost and
Magistrates, the Naval, and Military Officers,
Functionaries ot the Ciy, and the_ most respect-
able, Inhabitants. After the ceremony,; his Ma-
jesty's health was drank in the Town-house. ,
This' day. came on before "the Court of
Justiciary, the trial of Vt'illiano M`Oheer, or
M`Gherr, and Charles Britton, or Britain, accused
of stout brief and robbery, by breaking into the
house, at Borehnd, Ayrshire, inhabited by James
Drennan, farmer there, under pretence of search-
ing for tire-arms, and of robbing the said house
of a number of articles. The !minds pleaded Not
guilty, and, a Jury being chosen, the trial is 'row
going on.—(Edinburgh Courant, Feb. 7) .

A number of Scotch weavers, who cannot find
tnyl,,yinent at the loomq, tore now engagcd in
nrining a road, twelve feet wiee, at the bAse of
salishory Craggs, from the point „here they
Arthor's Seat to the Palace of tio!yrood
Edinhorgh, which, when comple,ell, will be one
of the most romantic aid picturesque promenades
in Europe. . . •

A few days since Cobbett received an Address,
purporting to come iron► the Female Reformers of
Weht»oud, in Surie.y, congratulating him on his
arrival in this Country, and amongst other strong
expressions of regard, an invitation to honour them
with his presence on the• Sunday following. The
fair patriots semed to with him to ►eccive some-
.hing more substantial than words, for they sent
him what appeared a silver tea-pot, with the fol-
lowing inscription :—" Front the Female Re-
formers of Richmond, in Surrey, to the (3ttardian
Angel of Reform." Thus far things went no sa-
tisfactotilv, and on Saturday last Cobbett thus
announced his intention of 'visiting his fair ad-
miters :---

" MY DEAR COUNTKYWOMEN,—The Female Reformers of
Richmond, in Surrey, are hereby most respectfully it:firm( d
that. I have, as the place is so near, resolved to go to Rich-
mond, and deliver my answer to their sensible, puhlic•spi-
cited, and eloquent address,. in person ; and that, fOr that
purpose, I shall, with a few friends, be at the Talbot on
Sunday next, after Divine service in the afternoon.

" N. 13. It will he best to fix on a precise time ; I will,
therefore, if I am alive and well, be at the Talbot, at pre-
cisely 4rtlf-past fora• on Sunday."

However, in the course of the day, a suspicion
arose that all was not right, and upon a close
inspection of the tea• pot, it was discovered to
be brHss, slightly plated over. Thus was the
hoax discovered, which the gross and stupid
vanity and sordidness of Cohnett had
,so eager-
ly sWallowed.—As, however, the report of his
intended visit had been made known, several
of his Radical Friends attended to witness the
honours that awaited him. The news in the mean
time having reached the ears of the landlord of
dre Talbot, he gave notice that he had 110 room
for the Radicals and it was whispered that a
party had formed the resolution of giving the
Trans-Atlantic Patriot a refreshing dip in the
purling strearns at the bottom of Richmond-hill.
'the persons who went to witness the ceremony,
returned to town atter hiving been laughed at for
their trouble.

Winter Theatres, under feelings of olisappoint-

spoudtace with his literary rival, who, resenting
the attack, hinted at a hostile termination of it

to do so fur a piece of fire arts.

SINGULAR Occunitr:Nce.—Friday evening a Mr.

in the Strand, deposited several Bank notes in a
drawer in his parlour, and the following day,
having occasion to pay his men, he missed a 101.

the door, but the person who knocked was gone
before it could be opened; on looking, however,
