EXTRACT•OF ANOTHER LETTER.

At the Peer' Ball his MAJESTY looked on, appa-
Undy highly amused with the rapid and animated
manner in which all the dancers went through the
different figures ; and here I must not omit to mention
an instance of singular familiarity on the part of one
the Latiies, which was obviously the result of the
emotion which the presence of his MAJESTY inspired.
Having to turn her partner in one of her complex
evolutions, she held out both her hands to his MA-
JESTY, yam, far from appearing offended with the
fair enthusiast, placed his hand upon his breast, and
said, with a kw bow, "I would most willingly,
Madam, if I could ; but, I am sorry to say, my dancing
days are over." The report of this little incident was
quickly circulated through the room, and the Lady
became an object of interest for that night at least.
—At a quarter before eleven o'clock his MAJESTY
retired, and was loudly cheered as he got into his
carriage. The company then sat down to supper,
and " the merry dance" was afterwards kept up to a
late hour. It was gratifying to observe, as a proof
cl national feeling and better taste, that the reel and
country dance completely superseded the indecorous
waltz, nor did many dance quadrilles.
Thursday is positively fixed for his MAJtsrix
Ictuin. his MAJESTY will breakfast that morning

with Lord Horirtoms, and afterwards get immedi-
ately on board his yacht.

The following is the Answer of his MAJESTY to the
Addresses from the several Universities of Scotland :
" The testimonies of loyalty and attachment which are con-
tained in your Addresses are very gratifying to my feelings.
"I highly appreciate that excellent system of instruction which
is established in the Universities of Scotland ,and which has mainly
contributed to form the character of a religious and enlightened
people. I feekaunred that you will continue to promote the cul-
tivation of science and of sound learning, and to instil into the
minds of the youth committed to your care those principles which
will lead their to form a correct estimate of the peculiar bless-
ings we enjoy under our free and happy Constitution."
FROM THE CALEDONIAN MERCURY OF SATURDAY.
Wednesday, Lady GWYDYR, accompanied by Lord.
ROSSLYN, Sir GEORGE WARRENDER, and an elegant
party, went to look at the Celts on their parade
ground, opposite Queen-street. Her Ladyship ad-
vanced, supported on the arms of Lord ROSSLYN,
and Dr. MACKINTOSH, when she received the salute.
This flue body of Highland Gentlemen then marched
pig her Ladyship in open columns of companies, at
quick and slow time. The Noble party then expressed
to the Commander the pleasure they felt on the oc-
casion. Lord /toasty)/ was particularly pleased with
the soldicrlike appearance and steadiness of the Gen-
tlemen composing this body. Lady GWYDYR and
the same train went afterwards to visit the Royal
squadron in Leith. Roads. '

The following faCt chews the anxiety which gene-
rally prevails to .see his MAJESTY. A herd set out
from Arnprior, about twelve miles from Stirling, one
morning last week, for the metropolis, with only
eighteen-pence in his pocket ! He reached his desti—
nation the same evening. During his stay his curio-
sity was gratified by seeing the KING five times !--
Being desirous of having, on his return, a voyage by
sea, he went to Newhaven, and bargained with one
of the Captains of the steam-boats to make himself
useful on board as a compensation for his passage to
Stirling, which was accordingly agreed to, and, on
arriving at home, he had something still to spare, for
his whole disbursements during the jaunt amounted
to only one shilling !!
