MAJESTY bowed in his usual manner, and seemed
quite pleased with his reception. The cheering con-1
tinned for some minutes.
GbettoAtitv had stood ditihieothe previous part of
the evening at the back a the x fronting those set
aside for his MAJZSTir, with his bohnet on, • and he
remained covered for some time, after the singing of •
.44 GOD saue the King." When he Was observed, how-
ever,
he was hissed and hooted from all quarters till
he obeyed the voice. 'At the right hand 'of his MA-
lESTY stood the Duke of MONTROSE, Lord CATII•
CART, and the Duke of Attovi.L; behind, the Earl of
Fur, the Earl of ERROL, and several others; on his
left, the Doke of DORSET and Sir W. KIPPEL. His
MAJESTY appeared highly pleased with the perform-
, ante, which was Rob Roy, at iking time to the music,
and particularly at the playing of the Highland
Bing," he moved his body to the time. When Mrs.
SIDDORS appeared, he applauded, and from time to
time appeared to ask explanations from those around
him. He laughed heartily when the Bailie (MAC-
KAY) mentioned that the people of Glasgow used to
call his father Old Nick, and himself Young Nick.
At the scene where Frank Osbaldistone wishes to

lay hold of Alatt#, and the Bailie orders him off,
and tells him he wishes 64 vane of thee Lunnun tricks,"
the KING again laughed heartily, and made a-remark
to DORSET. But "hat appeared to amuse him most
was, when the Bailie tells the little boy who had
found his hat and wig, " that he would be a man
afore his mither." In short, he paid the greatest
attention during tl.e whole of the performance, and
seemed to enter into the spirit of it, applauding at
those parts which had national allusions, or where the
actors excelled. A Lady in the next box, who was
looking earnestly at him, happened to catch his eye—
he bowed to her. Between the acts he looked around

the house, and seemed highly delighted with the La-
dies. When the I lay had finished he rose to depart,
but the house shouted fur the national anthem, which

was again sung, v‘ ith the following additional verse,
which, however, was totally lost upon the audience
by being sung in parts, in place of being legibly de-
livered by one distinct and intelligible voice;

Bright bunts are soon o'ercast,
Soon our brief hour is put,
Losing our King.
• Honour'd, belovl, and dear,
Still shall hfi parting car

THE KING'S ,HIGHLAND COSTUME
It has been doubted whether his MAJESTY was,
dressed at the Levee, on Saturday the 17th inst. in
the full Highland costume—to wit, the kilt. Qn the
best authority we inform our readers that he was.
Our own informant is the finest man among all the
Highlanders--the tallest, the stoutest, the hand-
somest; and he, after studying with all the skill of
connoisseurship, the Royal person and dress for seve-
ral minutes, while waiting to be presented, assures us
that his MAJESTY " wore the kilt—bare knees and
all." This, we think, should settle the point.—Edin-
burgh Weekly Journal.

FROM VIZ DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY COURIER
OP TUESDAY.

At the moment the KING alighted from his car-
riage on the day of the Drawing-room, it threatened
to rain, when the cry was raised, probably by one of
the Royal Pages, "an umbrella! an umbrella !" In
a second or two this cry was repeated, with the addi-
tion, "An umbrella for the KING!" No sooner said
than done! In a twinkling a hundred arms were ex-
tended, while every one shouted—" Here ! here !
here ;—take mine !—ah ! do take mine !" The Page,
like a wise man, grasped the umbrella that was
nearest him, on which a young Lady murmured—
" How unfortunate I am ! 0 that he would take mine
yet ! it would be the greatest possible favour !" Tie
good natured Royal attendant smiled, returned tr:,l
Gentleman his umbrella, and very politely took the
young Lady's instead. The loyal fair one's face im-
mediately beamed with all the joy of those who
first afforded CHARLES 11. succour after the battle of
Worcester. The highly honoured umbrella was af-
terwards returned, and we have little doubt that it
will be cherished by a second Lady M. BELLENDEN,
as religiously as the identical chair upon which his
gracious MAJESTY sat during the celebrated dejeune
at the Castle of 1 illitudlem.

Although the circumstance has not transpired
through the London Prints, we learn from an authen-
tic source, that the Duke of WELLltsormv,_accom-
panied by Lord CLANWILLIAM and Mr. PLANTA,
has left town, ,and is now on his route for the Con-
tinent, to filt the station destined to have been occu-
pied by the lamented Marquis of LONDONDZRAY.—
Kentish Gazette.

Last week, while a party of Noblemen and Gentle-
men dined with the KING at Dalkeith House, the
young BumLzuou had the high honour of sitting at
his right hand. His MAJESTY seemed much pleased
with the beauty and demeanour of the young Chief,
and repeatedly paid him the most marked and kind
attention. At every little interval of conversation he
took the opportunity of speaking to him ; and that
the youth might not weary—for he was not encou-
raged to drink—he was always• employing him in
little friendly missions, sometimes to one friend, some-
times to another, and often to Gow (who, with his
band, occupied the next room), with the view of as-
certaining the names of some of his most exquisite
Scottish aii s—to request our great national musician
to play some of them over again, as well as certain
others that his MAJESTY named. Gow—and no won-
der—was naturally proud of such messages, delivered
to him by such a messenger.
A Deputation having been sent from the Caledo-
nian Hunt, in order to solicit the honour of his MA-
JESTY'S presence at their Ball, he expressed himself
to the Nobleman that delivered it, in a manner that
If shewed how deeply he was impressed with the fitness
of all the arrangements made on the present occasion,l
and also with the appropriate and respectful manner
in which all these arrangements had been attended
to and supported. And after graciously promising
his presence at the Ball, he said—" Now, let us have,
Scotch reels and strathspeys in abundance, but none
of your foreign dances. I dislike seeing anything in
Scotland that is not purely national and character-
istic." He then added, in a jocular strain, " I am de-
termined to introduce no bad customs, my Lord."
The Gentlemen from Dumfries who were in Edip-
burgh during the time of his AYIAJESTY'S most gra-
cious visit to his ancient Capital of Scotland, intend
to form themselves into a Club, and they will hold
their Anniversary Meeting upon the 15th of August,
being the day of his MAJSSTY'S landing in Scotland.
A letter from Edinburgh says—" An aged female,
who rents a garret in the High-street, at f.. 5 per an-
num, has actually let her two windows, during the
procession of his MAJESTY from HolyroOd Palace to
the Castle, ip thoestormous sum of A:25 Isaahr
