S=TRACT Of 111 LETTRII WIIONI RDINSURGA, JULY SO.
As the time more nearly approaches when we may
expect the artival .of our belayed SOVIIRCION, the
anxiety becomes more intense, and it is quite impos-
sible to describe the joy and enthusiasm which per-
♦ades all raaks. The preparations making by the
public bodies for the Royal reception extends itself;
to a, most every individual, and to every nook in this
City. Addresses, odes, and congratulations in prow
and verse, are in active preparation ; and already (hie%
our streets resound with the old ballad--
" Peggy an' the King come,
Peggy in' the King come,
" Ye shall dance and I will sing,
" Peggy an' the King comet"
In my letter of the 23c1 ult. I mentioned that the
Royal Company of Archers would claim their ancient
privilege of forming the body guard of his MAJESTY
*'ile he remains in the capital—a privilege which
'aissry has most readily accorded them ; and
Ire now most actively preparing to fill this post
,nnur with due eclat. They will of course go
1h the ceremony of presenting the KING with
,er of arrows ; and it is thought not iMprobable
its MAJESTY, following the example of his an-
s, Kings of Scotland, in their Royal tours, may
,e some new Prize for the competition of the

:1 i chess.
the public works are proceeding with the utmost
y ; in the Parliament Howe great preparations
laking for the Banquet, which, we believe, will
infetior either in the variety and excellence of
Inds, or in splendour of decoration, to the feast
in your Guildhall, to the Allied Sovereigns,
rears ago.
wing expected that his Matimry will attend
'Service in the High Church, we are preparing
it seat, which we feel somewhat ambitious to
more splendid than that which his MAJESTY
led in the Cathedral at Dublin.
University, the Royal College of Physicians,
:lay of Writers to the Signet, and several other
Companies, have already voted Addresses to
hJESTY ; and every day Meetings are convened,
ly in this City, but in the several Counties of
id, for the same purpobe.

Extraordinary Meeting of the Commission of
the last General Assembly of the Church of Scotland
is appointed for Friday, the 9th of August, for the
purpose of tonsidering of a dutiful and loyal Address
to his MAJESTY on his •isit ; and a General Meeting
of the Goildry is convened for Tuesday next, for the;
same purpose.

The Town Council of the Royal Burgh of Cupar
have already met, and agreed to 411 Address to his
MAJESTY ; and they have further resolved, that the
Burgh shall be splendidly illuminated, in honour of
the KING'S visit, on the 12th of August next; that a
bonfire shall be lighted up at the Cross, and that
there shall be a public dinner in the Tontine Tavern;
and, in order that the poor of the Burgh may be ena-
bled to participate in the general rejoicing on this
occasion, a dinner is to be provided for them at the

expense of the town.
In the general bustle that universally prevails, the
ladies are not, I assure you, the least active; many
of our country lasses have already 66 changed their
plaiden coat for silk," and the innocent ambition of
each lady outstepping her neighbour in the richness
and elegance of her dress, has strongly manifested
itself among our city belles. Nor are the gentlemen
behindhand in this respect; all our tailors have long
been in requisition, not to mention that you exported
us some of your own men of modes from Bond-street,
and that eitensive broker in Court Dresses, Mr. So-
lomon, from Charing Cross; our old friend SANDY
CRAIG, however, comes in for his due share of busi-
ness, as he receives a supply of court dresses, cocked
hats, and swords, by every mail.
The annual competition of Pipers commenced this
morning; the meeting has been unusually numerous,
on account of the eagerness of some of the Highland
Pipers to welcome his MAJESTY in the national music
of the country, to which we hear he has always been
partial.

It is understood that his Excellency the LORD Lieu-
TENANT of IRELAND will go to Scotland in his yacht,
on the occasion of his MAJESTY'S visit, accompanied
by Sir WILLIAM BETISAM, Ulster King at Arms, and
other official personages.

It is said that a worthy City Baronet, of great weight
Wherever he goes, is determined to afford his MA-
JESTY, in his visit to Edinburgh this year, the benefit
of that preponderating loyalty which he last year
threw into the scale of the Dublin Corporation. Sir
WILLIAM has just purchased, from a Highland tailor
in the Haymarket, a complete suit of tartan, philebeg,
and " all those sort of things," with which he means
to invest himself, as the appropriate custume, to meet
Isis 'Royal Master in Edinburgh.

The DUKE 0? GLOOCESTER.—On the recent visit
of the Duke of GLoccesvaa to the Continent, the postillion who
drove one of the Royal carriages had the misfortune to dislocate
his foot by the falling of his horse, on the road from Antwerp to
Spa. The Duke, on his return to Mussels, sent an Aid-de-
Cansp, to enquire after the postillion. The surgeon having de-
clared that the man would eft be able to mount his horse for six
wears, the Aid-de-Canip, by the Duke's order, not only paid
the surgeon for his attendance, but gave to the postillion the sum
of 2(10 francs, and promised him three francs a day for two
months. This trait of generosity and humanity cannot be too
generally known.—Bntudi Paper.

On the 25th of July, there was published at Carls•
rube, an o.dinance of the Grand Duke of BAIMJ,
which confirms not only the prohibition of French
wines, but extends this prohibition to brandies, vine-
gars, stmt other ligation, coaling frosts France.

inform my numerous corres-
pondents better on the effect of that Act, than by
telling them that I de not consider myself answerable
for any thing it contains.*—By the new Marriage Act,
which received the Royal Assent on the 22d of July
last, it is►dtacted--" That no person shall, from and
after the posing qf this Act, be deemed authorized
by law to grant any license for the solemnization of
any marriage, except the Archbishops of Ca DlTSRauav
and YORK, according to the rights now vested in them
respectively; and except Ms several other Bishopsocithin
their respective dioceses, for the marriage of persons,
one of whom shall be resident at the time within the
diocese of the Bishop, in whose name such license
shall be granted."
This caution is deemed the more necessary, as a
wrong notion prevails that none of the provisions of
the new Marriage Act take effect till after the Ist
day of September next, whereas, the above important
restriction took effect from and after the 22d day of
July last.

but at length Knowlton came in first, and was entitled to the
coat and.badge, value l'io ; Wanslow second, and was entitled
to five guineas; and Marshal third, Who was entitled to two
guineas. The day was exceedingly fine, and all the bridges
were crowded.
