of Butt Smith of Liverpool of the 2Gth of July :

There is " delicacy" for you! Here is en allusion,
and a most filthy one too, to a traolaction of the tame
horrid kind, some years ago, at Warrington ; and

beastly way, while they are saying that decorum for-

Ire suspect that the-ably coxcombs must have been
compelled to mention the affair, in some shape or other,
before now ; and, indeed, we are satisfied, that they

There is a general convictios arising, that this tithe-

It has degenerated from all iti original purposes. It
is not at all the same thing that it was at first. The
Parsons are always talkie; about the devouring* of
the Poor; but, they say nothing about their owe de-
routings. which are four times as great. Were tithe-

is wholly changed, cad must be rectified, and will be
rectified.

We beg leave to call the attention of onr readers to
the case of Brno's, which will be found in another
column of oar paper. It is plain, that the Ace rola.

its operation ell tenders of goods of their owe miroue-,

fair: and cities, and be, notwithstanding. prohibited
from selling such goods in a eillege or hamlet. No-
thing so absurd could hare been intended by the le-
gislators; and the Magistrates might have safely
come to that conclusion. We hope the blonder of
the Act, however, will be corrected early in the next
Session.

Extract of a private letter received from Conetanti-

the number of 55 to CO are cruising off Ipsara, and

appointed Capitan Pacha. Napoli di Romania is
closely blockaded, and the alit Messenger, Pace
(loaded here with provision., &c. by this Government)
has been prevented entering that gulph by two Spez-
viot schooners. Napoli may shortly be expected to
fall to the Greeks, the want of provision* being very
great there. The Castle of Athens has at last capitu-
lated."

PREPARATIONS FOR THE RING'S RECEPTION
AT EDINBURGH.

(PROM TIE IDIKIQROa P AAAAA LAST necatvitn.)
His Majesty's ship Forte, Captain Sir T. Cochrane,
arrived in Leith Roads on Thursday morning. She
is one of the vessels which form the squadron that is
to attend his Majesty. Several other vessels of the
Royal sqeatiroa also MIMS in eight on Friday. The
Admiral, Sir John Beresford, sailed on Saturday in
one of the cutters to lay off the mouth of the
Forth, i■ order to meet his Majesty. Sir IVilliem
Curtis is arrived in Edinburgh.
Ott Wednesday 12 pieces of ordnance were placed
ee the seentielts of tile Colton Hill, fronting the
sots* weekend north, and tents pitched for the artil-
lery-men. Sit pieces, wih a smell encampment of
gunners, were also placed on the part of Salisbury
Crags, immediately overlooking the palace at Hely-
rood. The grand and lofty summit of Arthur's seat
is already covered with an immense coantity of com-
bustibles prepared for the bonfire.
The general illumination is fixed to take place on
the evening afte► his Majesty's arrival. Fire-works
are to be let of at the western extremity of Heorge.
street, besides the bonfire to be made on Arthur's
Seat, on the same sight.
It is impossible to convey any accurate idea of the
extensive preparations which are now goinz forward
in almost every part of the city; and it is gratifying
to observe that they are all conducted with the great-
est regularity. The liu of seafolding erecting from
the Palau of Helyrood to the Castle will greatly en-
hance the picturesque effect of the grand meant
which is to take place. Upon the Castle-hill, seating
Is getting up for no less than 2100, to which those
from the country are to have a preference. The au-
thorities are using their utmost endeavours to ac-
commodate u many spectators as possible.
At Leith the di■ of preparation is heard in every
corner. The piers are fitting up with commodious
seats, their whole extent chiefly for tire occupation of
oar fair countrywomen, and will present to the phis-

Woos Visitor one of the finest sights it is possible to
imagine. Triumphal arches are erecting in the streets,
through which the Royal cavalcade is to pass. Pre-
partitions are also nankin for a brilliant illumination,
and for • grand display of fire works. From one ex-
tremity of Leith-walk to the other, a distance of nearly
two miles, workmen are employed in raising ampia

north sod of the toasty ball. The Peer's Ball is to
be truly Scottish. No Peers aro to share in the ho-
nour of eatertaising their Sovereign," but Scottish

The students &twain the University held a meet-
lag is the Natural Philosophy Class-room, when they
resolved, that es the occasion of the procession of his
Majesty, they should wear either bliss or black coats,
and that each colas, should form a body by itself.—
They have determined to wear upon their breasts, as
their badge, daring his Majesty's stay here, a repre-
sentation of the front of the College, with a suitable
ioserlption.
There is a grand triumphal arch erecting at the
north 'ammo into Dalkeith, in honour of bis Ma-
jesty, as it is expected his Majesty will go through
Dalkeith on his way to the palace of the Duke of Bac-
cleugh.
