roblemen and gentlemen in uniform, and a Ma Song
[ muster is expected ot\the Queen's Body Guard, the
Deputy-Lieutenants oaounties, and other personages
of note. On Saturday her Majesty and suite swill
visit the principal sights of the metropolis, and on Sun—
day attend Divine service in the High Church.
Having thus honoured the metropolis, the Queen
will proceed on Monday to Scoone Palace on a visit
to the Earl of Mansfield. She will afterwards visit
Lord Willoughby D'Eresby at Drummond Castle,
the Earl of Kinnoul at Duplin Castle, and the Mar-
quis of Breadalbane at Taymouth Castle, where ex 7,
tensive preparations are making for her reception. In
her route, she will see some of the finest of our High-
land scenery, including Dunkeld ; and, after a week
thus happily spent, the Royal party will return to
Dalkeith Palace, on Monday, the 12th proximo, and
re-embark the next day for Woolwich.
A special meeting of the Edinburgh Town Council
was held yesterday, when a committee was appointed
to make the necessary arrangements for the reception
of the Royal visitors. The strongest desire was mani-
fested by all parties to render these as complete as
possible, and to welcome her Majesty in a style
worthy of the capital of Scotland. This is a feeling
in which all good subjects will participate. We hope,
however, that the Committee will not suffer their
loyalty to get the better of their prudence, as we are
sure that any very costly display—which, indeed,
the city can ill afford—would, in the present state of
the country, be at variance with her Majesty's
wishes. We do not profess much sympathy with that
sort of utilitarianism which seeks to abolish altoge-
ther those external splendours in which so many find
enjoyment;. but while we hold that our young and
popular Sovereign should be welcomed with enthu-
siasm, we should regret to see such profuse extrava-
gance as attended the visit of George the Fourth,
when, among other follies, 5,000/. was added to the
city debt, to furnish out an entertainment in the Par-
liament House. Our loyalty will be best shown by
respecting the judicious desire of her Majesty, that her
visit should partake more of a private character than
of an affair of state.
