?`ROM THE EDINBURGH COURANT OF MONDAY.

Saturday, his MaJzsry held his first Levee at the
Palace of Holyrood, and it was most numerously
attended, upwards of 1200 Noblemen and Gentle.
men being present. The number of carriages was
about 500, and extended from the Palace to Frede-
rick-street, by the new Calton Hill road and Regent
Bridge. At eleven o'clock, detachments from the
13th,'6Gth, and 77th Regiments, marched from the
Caitle;to the Palace-yard, where the band add the
grenadier company of the 13th were stationed ; the
mast of the troops proceeded to Salisbury Crags,
where they remained during the Levee. The com-
pany began to set down at twelve, and continued to
do so till two; and, notwithstanding the great num-
ber of carriages, very little confusion took place.
A few minutes before two his MAJESTY arrived
from Dalkeith, in a carriage and four, escorted by a
party of Scots Greys. He entered by the private
tioor on the south side of the Palace. His MAJESTY
vat dressed in full Highland Costume, of royal Stuart
tartans and looked uncommonly well; he appeared
in ticeltent health and spirits. A great many Naval
rritl Military Officers were present, and several No-
blemen and Gentlemen wore the Highland garb,
among whcm we observed the Dukes of HAMILTON
=rid ANGTLE, the Earl of BREADALBANE, and Lord'
GLENfrgorsv. The Earl of Vita also soore a High-
land dress, which was much admired. The Marquis
iIIuEENSBEIt HY was in a Lord Lieutenant's uniform;
the Earl of M4NTo, in that of the Roxburgh Militia; I
Sir WILLIAM Enntor, in the Roxburgh Yeomanry
uniform; and GeneralDurv, in a General's dress.
With regard to the number of spectators who were
gratified with a sight of their SArereign on his land-
ring, and in the procession to lfolyrood Palace, the
very circumstance of the ground being so eminently
favourable to admit of their seeing him distinctly,
ixeverited the possibility of estimating their number
in a manner at all approaching to accuracy, but we
may readily suppose that of our own population, In-
Wing Lcith, not less than 90,000 saw their King ;
that the rest of the country supplied at least .10,000;

that the inhabitants of Glasgow, who from the first
intimation of his-MaJnory's intention not to visit the
west of Scotland, have displayed uncommon eager-
ness in coming to our city, it is generally admitted
there were.not fewer than 50,000; these numbers put
together made 150,000; and, supposing that the
whole of Scotland besides did not send more than the
metropolitan county and the two principal cities,
there must thus have been 500,000 of his Majesty's
Scottish subjects who saw him within the sport space
of two hours, and all these inJependently of a great
number from the northern counties of EnvlAnd.

I ItROM THE CALEDONIAN MERCURY Or MONDAY.
We understand the procession to the Castle is to
take place on Thursday first; and in order to give
time fot the removal of scaffolding, the city banquet
is put off till Saturday. The Peers ball takes place
on Friday, and that of the Caledonian Hunt on the
Monday following.
We omitted to state that the Sutherland High-
landers were, on the day of his MAJESTY'S entry,
stationed at the Palace of Holyroed, as his MA-
.terzY's Highland Guard. They were commanded
by Lord FRANCIS LEvEsotr GOWER, accompanied by
his Esquires, Major MACKAY, as representing Lord
REAY, DUNCAN MATTHIESON, Esq. Advocate, the
Chief of that name holding under the SUTHERLAND
family, and WM. MACKENZIE, Esq. Messrs. Sneer,
GORDON, and BUCHANAN, walked as his Pages. The
men were under the immediate command of the Chief
of the Clan GOWN, another of the Clans holding un-
der Ban Afneir fhear Chataibk, and her ancestors.
The Hon. WM. MAULE has sent an additional
supply of bucks for his Majesty's table.
The Levee on Saturday closed about a quarter past
three, and his MAJESTY immediately held a Privy
Council, which was composed of the following No-
blemen and Gentlemen :
The Duke of Montrose, the Duke of Athol!, the Duke of
Dorset, the Marquis of Conyngliatn, the Marquis of Winchester,
the Earl of Lauderdale, Earl of Elgin, Earl Cathcar4 Lord Vis-
count Melville, Lord G. T. Ileresford, Lord Garydir, the Right
lion. William Dundas, Sir John Sinclair, Bart.; Right Hon.
Robert Peel, Secretary fur the Mottle Department; the Right
Hon. William Adam, Lord Chief Commitsioner • Sir Samuel
Shepherd, Lord Chief Baron; Right Horn Daviceßoyle, Lord
Justice Cletk, &c.
On this occasion the Lotto PaEstoEttr was sworn
in a Member of the Privy Council.
The Council sat more than half an hour. About
a quarter past four his MAJESTY took his departure
in a carriage and four for D.tlkeith, accompanied
by the Duke of DORSET and the Marquis of CoNYNO-
HAM. On getting into his cat t iage his MAJESTY WAS
surrounded by an immense concourse of people, who
expressed their duty and affection by loud acclama-
tions, and by the waving of hats and handkerchiefs.
His MAJESTY replied to these testimonies of loyalty
by waving his hand and politely bowing to the people,
who continued to crowd round the carriage, and to
fun after it a considerable way through the park.

The Earl of FIVE and Lord GWYDYR had the ho-
&or of dining with his MAJESTY yesterday, at Dal-
Was House.

Some apprehensions are entertained for the safety
of the Liverpool, as the ship Illinois,which sailed from
New York the day after her, arrived at Liverpool on'
the 12th inst. and the ships London and Panthea, that
sailed from New York the 24th ult. Dine days after
the Liverpool, have arrived, the former off Falmouth
on the 17th inst. and the latter at Liverpool on Monday.
The Liverpool was to replace the Albion, which was
I unfortunately lost off Kinsale, and so many of the
passengers and crew drowned, on the 22d April last.
The annexed extract of a letter from New York notices
the sailing of the Liverpool, with other particulars :

" Naw Yogic, Jew 16.—The following are the names of the
passengers in the new packet ship Liverpool, Captain Las,
which left the Hook yesterday, at half-past twelve o'clock, for
Liverpool, viz. Mr. N. T. lir.ano and family, of New York;

Mr. THOMAS WEIGHT' of England ; and Mr. G. A. NOITHEOGIC,
of filontreal. The Liverpool is a fine ship, on her first voyage •
her model it greatly admired, and her accommodations are equal
to anything of the kind we ever saw."

The following is from the Beard of the New Eng-
land Cofee-hono:
" Ltrearoot Acousr 20.—Arrived this day the Palmer,
Mutes, from hoston ; sailed 40th July. Serious apprehensions
are entertained with regard to the packet ship Liverpool. The
principal hope is that she may be becalmed, as the Panthea and
other vessels from the westward have had very light winds.—

Although it is pretty certain that there will be no
definitive alteration in the Ministry until the return
of his MAJESTY from Scotland, yet numerous ru-
mours are in circulation. It is now said, and with
some degree of confidence, that the Duke of WEL-
Limnos will fill the office of Foreign Secretary, and
that Mr. Patt. will take the management of thellouse
of CoMmons. It is further reported, that the LORD
CHANCELLOR has determined on tendering his resig-
nation to his MAJESTY, on his arrival in town: and

cellorship of the Szchequer. by Mr. HUSK ISSON.—..

HORRIBLE MURDER.

FROM THE sorfoN PAPERS, ARRIVED TIHIJ MORNIEG.
TRINIDAD, JUNE 15.
Yesterday morning one of the most diabolical acts
of murder was perpetrated in this island.
About seven o'clock, a private of the Sd West India
Regiment, named Rata : went to the house of a free
black woman, about 100 yards from the new bury-
ing-ground, at Lapeyrouze, with whom he had pre-
viously had some difference, and, without any provo-
cation on her part, stabbed her twice with a sharp
knife. As the wretch inflicted the wounds) the wo-
man ran out of the house, pursued by her assailant
for a short distance, when he returned again, and
found the daughter of the said woman, who that in-
stant entered It; he immediately assaulted her with
the same knife, andwounded her severely in the arm:
after a scuffle she succeedtd in making her escape.
A coloured woman) who endeavoured to prevent his
attempt at murder, after the first alarm was given,
received a wound from him, which prevented her
giving any further assistance. After having com-
mitted this sanguinary outrage, the monster, with a
savage ferocity, rushed into an inner room where two
infants, one about four, and the other 16 months old,
were asleep, seized both and cut their entrails out,
immediately after which he seized a dog and kilted it.
Armed with the bloodstained knife in one hand
and a pistol in the other, the inhuman wretch placed
himself in the middle of the road, and threatened to
be the death of any one that should attempt to ap-
proach to take him : however, one Serjeant Cox, of
the same Regiment, who was passing by, and hearing
histhreats, madea bold attempt upon the assassin, who
discharged the pistol at him, but missing his mark,
thrust his knife into the Serjeant's arm, which did
not, however, discourage him, and he finally suc-
ceeded in taking him, having stunned him by a blow.
At this time the Chief of the Police, who had re-
ceived information of what had occurred, arrived,
and committed the murderer to jail, and had the in-
fants, who were not quite dead, carried to the Military
Hospital. They were accompanied by their mother
and sister. We tiara that both the infants are since
dead.

The funeral of the late Right Hon. Sir SAMUEL
ADCHMUTY, Commander of his Majesty'! Lorces in
Ireland, will take place on the 21st instant. His re-
mains will be removed on that day from the Royal
Hospital, Kilmainham, to Christ Church Cathedral,
to be deposited in the Royal Vault with military ho-
nours.—Freetnan's Journal, August O.
Friday Sir JOHN TYLDIIN, of the 52d Regiment of
Foot, the nephew of General Sir SAMUEL AUCHSIUTY,
arrived in Dublin, from England.
Thursday Lieutenant-General FTERS reached Dub-
lin, and on Friday formally took upon him the pro
ten re command of the Army serving in Ireland.
The Duke of BEDFORD arrived in Exeter on Mon-
day, and slept at the New London Inn. On Tues-
day morning his Grace left for Woburn Abbey.—
This highly-respected Nobleman appeared to have
recovered from his late severe illness.
Earl FoRTESCOL in order to enable his Lincoln-
shire tenantry to meet the present times, bas returned
to his Tattershall tenants 4.0 per cent. and to his Bil-
lingborough tenants 3.5 per cent.
An Inquest was held on Tuesday evening, at the
Duke's Head, Queen-street, Edgesvare-road, before
THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. Coroner for the county of
Middlesex, on the body of a fine young woman, of
the name of Mary Wall. The deceased had joined
with a few friends in a dance, at the house of her pa-
rents, in Cato-street, on Monday evening, and feeling
herself suddenly overcome by the heat, sat down in
a chair and fainted. Her anxious friends, in the
midst of their agitation, instead of removing her into
the air, placed her sitting in a chair, in a small par-
lour, where, the company eagerly pressing close about
her, she experienced a succession of violent fits for the
space of about twenty minutes, when she expired.—
Verdict—Died by the Visitation of GOD.
Last night an Inquest was taken at St. Bartholo.
mew's Hospital, before THOMAS SHELTON, Esq. Co-
roner for London and Southwark, on the body of
Alexander M•Gillivray, a native of Dundee. It ap-
peared from the evidence that the deceased belonged
to the Fox packet, of Aberdeen; that, after spending
Friday (the 9th instant) with some friends, he was
endeavouring to pass along a rope, from the Pier-
head, London-docks, to a lighter, from which he
might have hailed the Fox, which was lying in the
Hermitage-chain. Unfortunately his hands slipped,
and he was precipitated from a height of twenty-four
feet into the mud, receiving in his fall a severe blow
on the superciliary ridge, over the left eye, which
proved to be a fracture of the skull beyond the reach
of surgical operation. Notwithstanding the wound,
he succeeded in getting into the lighter, where belay
till the morning, when a Custom-house boat took
him out, and put him on board his own vessel, After
having washed the wound and changed his clothes,
he walked to Middle-row, Holbotn, in order to see
tts cousin, will went with him to a neighbouring
apothecary's, where he was advised to apply at St.
Bartholomew's Hospital. The deceased accordingly
did so, was admitted, and after receiving for twelve
days all the assistance that his case required, he died
on Tuesday morning, leaving a wife and two chil-
dren to lament his untimely fate. It appearing that
he was sober at the time he received the injury, the
Jury returned a verdict of " Died from the result of
a wound accidentally received."
NICETY or THE LAW.—A Licensed Victualler was
on Tuesday called upon to prosecute a fellow at
Marlborough-street Office, for having broken his
windows, The publican gave evidence to prove that
the act was wilful on the part of the defendant, and
brought forward one witness to prove his case, -on
which the Magistrate convicted the defendant in the'
value of the injury sustained by the licensed victual-
ler, who naturally anticipated that the amount of the
conviction would fall to his lot ; but, on the contrary,
he was informed, that the Act of Parliament was im-
perative. Ile had only brought forward one witness
beside himself to prove the fact; in that case the
penalty did not go to the prosecutor, but to the King.
If he had brought forward two witnesses to prove it,
then he, the prosecutor, would have been entitled to
the penalty, to the amount of the injury done.—The
poor publican thought this Act of Parliament as cu-
rious as it was hard, and regretted he had taken the
trouble to prove his case under such circumstances.

SPARRING.
The Fives Court was well filled yesterday. for the benefit of
one of the best artists that, over stewed in the prise
Randall won all his battles without suspicion of doing wrong.
In him his backers placed reliance, and the admirers of genuine
goodness flocked together to reward merit. The sets-to were
of the best order.

Neak and Adman turned to with much earnestness, and hit
away to the satisfaction of the admirers of milling talent. Neale
had the best of it.

Belcher and Harry Harmer shewed some fine seience, and
Harry, although a bunker, was always at the scratch in Ilse, and
played the return game well.
Spring and Bitten exercised their skilful measurement much
to the satisfaction of the company.
Randall and Harry Holt made the to-tap in a set-to complete
in everything that constitutes first rate genius. The parries were
of the finest order, and the return blows were as quick as the
dart of a hawk upon a small bird.
Randall modestly thanked the assemblage for their patronage,
and assured them that he knew how to take care of the bias*.
He next asked if any of Martin's friends were present to put
down any money for him, as he was atTsioue to fight him it►
three months, fur 500 sovereigns, and his money was ready.

DRINKING.
Hickman, the renowned gas-light man, got a severe purer cin
his return from the fight of Tuesday. Some ohe had entrusted
him with a gig, but, however sobers he can steer his fist or an
anvil much better than a prod, and making a mistake through
being dicked in the nub with Butcher's grape, he ran on the wrong
side of the post. He was senseless, from something like one of
Neate's hits, for more than a quarter of an hour, and his cora-
panion is too ill to be removed from Hampton Court. '

A tremendous storm of rain took place last night,
accompanied by ♦ivid flashes of lightning. It coin-
mencesl about twelve o'clock, and continued till
nearly four. It was general in many parts of the
country, particularly in the .county of Kent.

Among the applicants for passages co France, at
the Brighton Packet-office, on Friday evening, one
Lady, on being told that the packet sailed on Satur-
day morning, asked, " At what o'clock it would be
at the door !"

Mr. Wens, the philanthropist, returned to Cowee
for a few hours on Friday last. His arrival was no
sooner known than the doors of the *Vine Inn' at
which he stopped, were thronged by children. Mr.
WEBB shortly afterwards appeared at the window,
and threw tickets for the play, which ht had Just pur-
' chased, amongst the juvenile rabble. In the course
of the afternoon he visited a fruiterer's shop, and dis-
tributed slices of melon well sugared to all the girls
who chose to take them, but carefully excluded the
boys from any participation in the treat. He is most
singularly attired in an old dress-coat, with shabby
pantaloons. When Mr. Wens was last at Cowes, he
purchased a great number of tickets for the play_
box, pit, and gallery, and threw them out of the
window amongst the crowd. This frolic was repeated
three times—on the third, the number of tickets was
sufficient to fill the house, but orders were issued
that none but women and female children should
be admitted, and Mr. Wean honoured the Theatre
with his presence.—Southampton County Chroiude.
We are desired to state, that the Capt. WiLLIAMt,
who perished at sea in company with Mr. P. B.
&MLLE?, was a son of Captain JOHN WILLIAMS, of
the Hon. East India Company's Bengal Infantry.
