that crowd the crest of it bearing up timber and tar-
barrels for the bonfires, diminished by the height and
distance to the size of pigmies.
The scaffolding that still surrounds the new monu-
ment erected to the late Lord MELVILLE by the Offi-
cers of the Navy, will be removed to-night, as it is
now finished so far as the architecture goes, and only
wants the statue on the top to complete it.
The inhabitants of Leith have raised a most mag-
nificent scaffolding all along the pier, from which
they will command a complete view of his MAJES-
TY'S landing.
The Royal Archers' Company met at four o'clock
in the Physicians' Hall, in George's-street, for the
purpose of being sized and divided into proper squads
for the Procession and duties during the Royal visit.
Their costume is that of the ancient Scotch bowmen,
and the material, a peen mull slashed with green
satin; overalls of the same, with a broad stripe of
silver lace; Celtic hose, with a large rosette of black
riband in the shoes, and a ruff round the neck ; a
cloth bonnet and eagle's plume; the arms, the bow,.
and a dagger in a broad leather belt.
But what has chiefly attracted the notice of the
City to-day was a Meeting of the Celtic Society, in
full costume, to receive their colours. They assem-
bled in the field fronting the east division of Heriot-
row about half-past twelve o'clock. The Gentlemen
composing that most imposing body of men had a
very fine appearance; the variety of the costume,
(each wearing the tartan of his respective clan), al-
though it detracted from so ict military uniformity,'
added Much to the picturesque effect of the groupe.
" The gathering" was then sounded by the chief
piper of the Society, and the Gentlemen fell in and
drilled for some time on their private parades ; after
which General GRAHAM STIRLING, who commanded
on the field, formed them into line by an echelon of
divisions, and afterwards wheeled them back into a
hollow square, facing inwards. These manoeuvres,
were performed with a steadiness truly astonishing,
if we consider the very short time that has been al-
lowed them for preparation, and that many of them
never before were accustomed to military movements.l
About half-past one, Sir WALTER SCOTT, accom-
panied by Colonel DAVID STawaRT (author of the
work on the Highland Regiments), entered the square,
.and the colours being placed in their hands by General
GRAHAM STIRLING, Sir WALTER SCOTT addressed
the corps nearly in the following terms :
" HIGHLANDERS !—ln delivering to yob those standards, I aim
convinced that I am placing them into the hands of men of ho-
nour and of courage, who will never bring a stain on their pu-
rity, and who will defend them with their best blood.
" I cannot perform this most gratifying duty without offering
you my most sincere congratulations on the occasion on which
these ensigns are presented to you, and the hormurable office
that has been assigned to you on this most joyful occasion of his
Majesty honouring this realm with bis presence. The duty of
guarding the ancient emblems of the independence of this king-
dom has devolved upon you ; and though upon this occasion you
only draw these swords on a business of form and ceremony, yet
should the hour of real danger arrive, I have no doubt that you
will do credit to the lineage from which you arc sprung, and
stand forward in the foremost ranks of danger for the rights and
liberties of your country, as becomes men of honour, of courage,
and of loyalty."
The colours were then presented by Sir WALTER
SCOTT and Colonel DAVID STEWA RT, and the corps
saluted in the ancient Celtic fashion, the pipes sound-
ing during the salute. A most solemn and impres-
sive prayer was then delivered by the Rev. Dr. AN-
DERSON, the Cliaplainto the Society, and when it was
concluded the corps were marched off with their
pipers playing before them to the Assembly-rooms,
where they took the oath of allegiance. The stand-
ards are of white satin, with the Blue Cross of St.
Andrew in the Star cf the Thistle ; the borders are
surrounded with silver fringe.
There was a most numerous and respectable as-
sem bl y of spectators on the ground, who seemed all
highly delighted with the splendid and martial ap-
pearance of the Celtic body, and the imposing effect
of the ceremonial.
It was intended that the Regalia should have been
removed from the Strong Room in the Castle at four
o'clock to-day, under the guard of the Celtic body,
and the Yeomen were hurried out to assist at the ce-
remony, but Mr. Pest not having arrived so early as
was expected, it was put of till Monday.

By a Blazil Packet we have received letters and
Papers irom Rio Janeiro to the sth of June, from
Bahia to _the 22d, and from Pernambuco to the 27th.
The news from Rio is not, consequently, later than
the advices brought by the BEAVER, which we pub-
lished the other day. The letters from Bahia men-
tion that everything was tranquil there, but some ap-
prehensions were entertained of an attack from the.
interior, in support of the system established at Rio
Janeiro, and in opposition to the European interests.
At Casoeira, about 40 miles from Bahia, an attempt
had in fact been made to proclaim the PRINCE REGENT
as the future King of Brazil, and a disposition was
in that district evinced to commence an open warfare
against the Europeans.

'The Gazeta do Govern° of Pernambuco of the 22J,
t::: first Newspaper from that country that has come
14,:,%-e us, contains several documents, among which
is 1::e correspondence of the Junta with the KING and
tes in Lisbon, and the PRINCE in Rio Janeiro, the,
hi incipal pai t of which we published at the time from
Lisbon Papers.

ivate letters from Malta, dated the 11th July,
5.-rte that an American ship had just arrived there
from Napoli de Romania, bringing the information
cf the capitulation of the fortress, and adding, that
by one of the articles, the Turkish garrison was to be
transported in French and English vessels. The re-
peated assertions and contradictions of the capture
of this place sliew its value in the estimation of the
contending parties. Since the capture of the un-
fortunate island of Scio, the Turks have not boasted,
of a single advantage, and they have confined
their public news to merely contradicting the suc-
cesses of the Greeks, whilst every communication re-
ceived of late from the Morea encourages the hope
that the result of the contest will expel the barbarians
from Purope, and re-establish the liberal and Chris-
tian Empire of the Greeks in the Mediterranean and
the Black Seas. At Constantinople, on receipt of the
intelligence of the defeat of his fleet, the GRAND SEIG-
NIOR, in order to preserve the inhabitants from per-
petrating the crime of murder, collected some httn-
di cds of Greeks, and had them publicly put to death.

DISTRESS AMONG THE LAWYERS.—NO class of per-
,7ls at the Aisizes on the Western Circuit (with the
exception of the convicts and losers of suits) have less
: eason to be satisfied with them than the Barristers. We
believe there are not less than 70 of these Learned Gen-
tlemen on the Circuit; and at Salisbury they had but six
cases, or about eleven briefs to share between them.
1-.-om fifty to sixty learned and eloquent Gentlemen
t•Ptched neither paper nor fee ! It was still worse at
I)9rchester, where the Assizes produced but five briefs
;;I',gether—not one per dozen! At Exeter there were
E ' enty-eight cases—at most but fitly briefs, and the
-.hole of these were engrossed by about half a dozen
leading and popular men. In Cornwall there appear but
rive prisoners, and it is said an equal lack of business
c'n the law side. Upwards of seventy Barristers at-
tended the Devon Assizes last week. "'here was pro-
duced in Court, and handed about as a curiosity, the
brief, the only brief, that Devonshire ever afforded to
the great Wiwi% M PITT, who, once at least, travelled
'that Circuit. His notes on its margin, and the signa-
ture to hi, fee, attracted much notice. The green cloth
which then coveted the Court table, and on which he
inscribed his name, is also preserved there as an in-
teresting relic.

Louse. have been broken into and plundered, and orchards
mhb••d to a considerable extent. Several of the depredatore
have, however, within these few days, been appro•hended.

The Extraordinary Meeting of the Highland Society
of Scotland, called to Address the KING on the occa-
sion of his MaJawry's visit to Scotland, was held in
the Hall of the Royal College of Physicians. One

On motion of the Earl of AnoVNE, the Most Noble
the Marquis of Larnomq, one of the Vice-Presidents
in office, was unanimously called to the Clair.
Mr. MACDONALD. of Staffa, the Secretary, having
stated the resolution of. the Directors to call the pre-

sent Meeting for the earliest day which by the char-
ter-it was competent to fix,
The E.irl'of WESITSS and MA RCll.'ioie to move
the Address. His Lordship, in a speech Of much
elegairce, congratulated the Meeting and the Country
upon his Majesty's most gracious visit to this his
ancient kingdom and metropolis ; that it appeared
particularly fitting and expedient that this &kitty,
instituted for such patriotic purposes, and embracing
so large a proportion of the rank, property, and talent
of the country, should come forward on this most
gratifying occasion, to offer to his Majesty its fervent
congratulations and dutiful homage, and to state to
his Majesty the continued progress of Scotland in
agricultural and the other' improvements which it is
the Society's peculiar purpose to promote and encou-
rage. His Lordship concluded -by stating to the
Meeting,. that the Address which he had the honour
to move' had already met the approbation of the
Directors, ai he trusted it would meet unanimously
with that of this Meeting.
The Address having been read by the Secretary,
The Earl of BREADALBANE rose. His Lordship
said, that he had great satisfaction in seconding the
Address which had now been read ; that he entirely
agreed.with the Noble Lord who had preceded him,
in the opinion of the propriety of this great national
Society coming forward to address the Throne on the
present happy occasion. His Lordship concluded a
short, but peculiarly appropriate speech, by stating
that the Address proposed had his entire approbation,
as he trusted it would receive that of the distinguished
Meeting of this Society, which was now convened.
The Address was thereupon voted by acclamation.
Lord AttatiritNor, one of the Vice-Presidents,
thereupon mentioned, that at a Meeting of the Di.
rectors held yesterday, at which the Noble Marqiiis
now in the Chair presided, the Directors had given
it as their opinion, that, in the event of the Address
being presented by a deputation, such deputation, ac-
cording to the number to be fixed, should consist of
those Noblemen and Gentlemen who now hold, or
have held, the offices of President or of Vice. Pres-
idents, and of the three senior Ordinary, and one of
the Extraordinary Directors. His Lordship moved
that this recommendation be approved of, which
having been seconded by Lord Saltoun, was unani-
mously agreed to.
Lord FRANCIS L. GOWER proposed the thanks of
the Meeting to the two Noble Earls who had moved
and seconded the Address. His Lordship said that
he understood the Earl of Wearyu had come to town
with considerable personal inconvenience to attend
this Meeting.
The Marquis of QUEENSBERRY seconded this
mo-
tion, which was carried with much applause.
The Earl of Rowsanv, in brief, but very appro-
priate terms, moved the thanks of the Society to the
Directors, for having called this Meeting on the first
moment that it was understood that his Majesty was
to honour Scotland with his presence, which afforded
another instance of the assiduous attention which
they devoted to the Society's business.
Viscount GLENORCHY seconded this motion, which
was carried with approbation.
Letters were received from the Duke of MONTROSE
and HENRY MACKENZIE, Esq. expressing their ap-
probation of the object of the Meeting, and their re-
gret in being prevented from attending it by indispo-
sition, and apologies tram Lord MeLvitte, Sir NEIL
MENZIES, and various other Members in the country,
regretting that it was not in their poiker to attend on
this occasion.

This Extraordinary General Meeting of the Society
having been called for a special purpose, no other
business was entered upon, and, on the motion of the
Earl of MORAY, seconded by the Los d Provost of
Edinburgh, the thanks of the Society were, with
much approbation, voted to the Marquis of Lo•rtaMAN
(the Vice President in the Chair), for his uniform at-
tention to the Society's business, and particularly on
the present occasion.
