AU doubts respecting the progress of his Majesty
are now completely removed. The Royal yacht is
sow folly is sight, towed by two steam-boats, and
signal guns have been firing for the last half-hour to
announce the glad event. Nothing can be more sub-
limely picturesque thaathe view from the Calton Hill
at this moment—embracing, .as it does, all that is
grand and. interesting in nature, with all that is grace-
ful aid noble in art. Thousands of spectators seem,
as It. wwtinio hem from her bold precipices that com-

animated contrast with the samberless white tents that
are pitched around in all directions. •le the back
ground the beautiful structures of the town exhibit
eonntless gay devices for the illasioatioo, and the
streets present a brilliant display of fashionable peder
triune, with occasionally some splendid egnipages. The
signal gun has jtist been fired, giving the inhabitants)

within two miles of the shore, amidst salvos of artil-

net to land till to-morrow, at 11 o'clock- The assem-
bled multitude are conseqtrently dispersing in all di-
rections. The far greater proportion are making their
way to the harbour. The Marquess of Conyogliase
has landed, and is gone on to Dalkeitli.

DATID WRDNESDAY, 5 O'CLOCA, P. 11.)
Owing to the continued heavy rain, his Majesty has
delayed hie landing till to-morrow, and should it he ae
unfavourable, a farther delay will take place. The
official announcement of this intelligence was received
with marked signs of disappointment by the official and
civic procession in Queen-street : nor were the Taik
of the Chiefs less vexed, as they returned marching to
the mixed sound of the pietracht and the pattering
✓ain, [The Tail is now a fashionable word for any
person or thing that follows.) The flowers and trap-
pings which adorned the ladies who filled the windows
and balconies along the line of the procession, also suf-
fered not a little.

The Peeresses have declined sitting in the seats pro-
vided for them, between the Civic authorities and the
Ministers of the Kirk. We have heard that the rea-
son of this was the Hip:lie:one remark thrown ont by
some Ultra-Loyalist in his seal, that they were to re-
present the beauty of Scotland. They were, of coarse,
aware of the state of male representation in Scotland,
and did not wish to be placed upon a par with the
Knights of the Shire and Burg , whom Sir George
Saville ooee proposed to have removed and replaced
byelhow chairs.

The Gentleman who dropped down dead. while go-

Dr. Kelly, of Cambridge.
There is now living at Felicianowo, in Poland, a
mass named Jabkowski, who is 138 years of age. It
was not till his 100th year that he determined to
marry a widow, aged 30, with whom he is living con-
tented and happy.—(Freselt Paper.)
I. We some time ago called the attention of our readers
to the Establishment of the General Benefit Insurance Of-
bee, Aldersgate-street; an Institution founded on similar
principles to the celebrated offices, where the public for a
long series of years have been accustomed to insure against
the calamities of fire. When we first introduced the subject
to seismal notice, the Institution was in its Infancy; the ea-
periment has now been fairly tried, and we are happy to say
its progress and success has exceeded the most sanguine ex-
pectations that had been formed, and we therefore feel Con-
fident in recommending it to our readers. The soundness
of that priseiple, which teaches the propriety of directing
the exertions of the artisan and labourer to a provision for
the casualties of life, must be acknowledged ; the more It
become! known, the greater will be the diminution of hu-
man sufferings, and an effectual chock will thus be given to
the increase of pauperism, that hydra headed monster which
threatens to destroy the independence and absorb the pro-
perty of the country. Such being our vlew, we shall over
no apology for calling the public attention to an Institution
calculated to confer such iniportaat benefits on Society, and
we cannot take leave of the subject, without expressing stir
earnest wishes that Its ittee.ass may be commensurate with
its merits, and that its supporters may have the gratificatioo
of seeing It become (of which we entertain no doubt), one
of the more popular and useful establishments of the present
day.—(Prom the Weekly Register.)
