Royal demesnes. The two beaotifel rivers Esk, the
one of which has its source in the classic locality of
the Gentle Shepherd, washes the foundation of the
famed Castle and Chapel of Roslyn, meanders through
the yet more classic grounds of Hawthoradmi. and is
throughout its whole line one anceession of beauties ;
and the other. which descends from the bleak ridge of
the Lammer-moir, bends toned the towers of Dal-1
bootie, and pervades the rich beauties of New bottle'
—these two rivers, each clear as chrystal, enter the
Park, the one in front, and the other in rear of the
Palace; each Rowe through a dell, exhibiting every
natural and artificial beauty; they nein, a little be-
low the Palace, and roll their combined stream through
the remainder of the grounds. The trees within the
Park are large, venerable. and well pooped sod there
is this remarkable peculiarity sawn it, that within its
walls scarcely a living thing is doomed to violent
death. The little birds sing close by the ear of the

him not as her enemy. but as her protestor. The frisks
and gambols of these lively animal. upon the lawn
afford his Majesty a very great deal of amusement--
His Scottish subjects, however, acopy the chief part
of his attention, and his conversations with his train
are almost wholly about the reception with which he
has met. Scotisad has indeed well sustained, and if
porsible heightened her stayed, inn, manly, and la-
annual character. In all her approaches to Majesty
(we speak of her as a nation. sad in the mass), she
evinces that she regards her Hag as one who seder-
stands Mae. should dispense justice, and be treated
with the defence of the arm, and the averages of the
affections, rather than a spatula which is to be ran
after, or one who is pleased or tan be tattered by the
mere homage of the lip.

One circumstance we are proud to mention, as it gives
a better idea of the characteristics of she Scottith pia
people, than valetas written es the same subject could
convey: there is not one single record on the police
books of this metropolis of any offence contained
against the laws since his Majesty has bees in Soot-
land. An immense crowd, and no violation of the
laws! Hear this, proud England, and learn of us!

COBURO TRSATRR.

A sew Historic Melo-Drama, entitled Reheard the
Black Prime was last night predated at this theatre.—
The piece adheres, with much fidelity, to the brilliant
history of that distinguished Prince. A slight depar-
ture from it occurs only, lo the lotroductioa of the
Priam, Joan of Kent. who, in the disguise of a
page. attends the object of her romantic passion to
the tented field. spite of a woman's terrors; and this
giveos new life and interest to the pica. The greed
feature, however. of this Drama is the asensoralsl• event
of the battle of Poictiers, fought in 1354, is which 9000
English completely routed an army of 90,000 French-
men. taking primmer§ land, John. and the Dauphin his
son, with a namerolis train of Nobility. The battlel
seine is splendid beyond any thing Me ever saiv; and
the combats were executed with greet spirit; tad mitbl
egnal accuracy. The armour is copied from the Mend-
cal salts worn by the various personages represented.—
The scenery is, at once, grand and -beautiful.—
The entry of the Black Priace into London. with his
Royal captives, is a noble pageant. Indeed, the whole
performance does great honour to the management of
the Theatre. The several parts were admirably per-
formed; especially that of the Black Primes by Mr.
IluxvLsr. The applause with which the piece was re-
ceived by a most crowded house, was almost unexam-
pled; and, we say, not without just cause, for the piece
is oseofthe most toterestingdrarnas we have seenat any
Theatre for a long time. The plaudits at the dropping
of the certain were universal. and were continued for a
length of time. The Drama was announced for repot'.
Os°, amidst the tumultuous applause of the wholeaudi-
once; and, we have no doubt it will lung confines a
great favorite with the public.

W. Henry Areher. Nes. 6, 7. and 8. are the originals
of Byroe's Letters to the Hon. Jahn Jocelyn. And
No. 9, is the Attested Copy of inch part of the indict-
ment as time and poverty allowed the Tree- rrrrr to
placate. The fellowleg is Mr. Ridgeway's opinion
of the " Case :"

The Querist may obtain his liberty by applying to
seam other Magistrate to take bail, and if a second-Ma-
gistrate shall refuse. be should apply to • Judge of the
Kist's Bench. But as a Commission Court sits imam-
diately, such application is scarcely necessary. The
Querist elionld make every preparation to defend him-
self against tlie charge preferred by the Bishop, if pos-
sible.
It does not occur to me to be advisable for the Queristi
to isatitnte a prosecution against the Bishop in the pre-
seat state of matters betwees them, especially as be did
not swear informations upos the subject recently after
the alleged criminal conduct. The Querist must be pre-
pared to expect that his accusation of the Bishop will
be considered improbable—perhaps altogether incrodi-,
ble—notwithstaiding that his statement may be true.—
But the proof rests upon his own assertion only, and it
will be objected. that it was a contrivance to obtain •
more favourable discharge. There is something in the
style of the loners which strongly supporta this objet-
ties; aid, therefore, the Querist should gin his Counsel
every possible explanation to assist them in his defence
upon his trial.
The Lord Mayor should be applied to for the papers.
aid If by refuses to give them up, be should be served
with a Crews Summon to attend as a witness, and a
midge served at the same time to produce the papers
takes from the Querist; and Leonard, the Bishop's
man, shosld also be served with a Crows Summons to
attend.
If the Qieerist offered to swear informations respecting
the charge against the Bishop, before the Lord Mayor,
and that his Lordship refused to take them, it might
have some iodates' upon the case.

natural crime of • e • •.
Some of the annotations on the Briefs, are remark-
able and interesting. We extract the following:-
- Are the letters a libel ?

--a Cee the subsequent declarations, when called on
for them before the Magistrate, make the letters libel-
lous ?

If the words were justifiable. as Wog called
for before the Magistrate, caa they be brought in aid
and explanation of letters written, not oojtatifiatde.
By the statute the goo calico may be left to the
jury, for the statute enables the jury to find a general
verdict on location, thoogh the words would have
been clearly a libel as a issuer of law.

-1s it not evidence then to show that the charge
is true —or that the Wars and words were sent and de-
livered, not to slander the individual, but to effect some
other lawful impose.
—The iotent was not to libel but to induce the per-
son to do an act of justice.
—The letters are not express charges of any crime.
—The words being extorted ought not to be used
in any manner against the Traverser.
—4th September, Bishop came to town. He had
no man servant in town. Met Byrne, &c.

—Recommended to hare him brought before the
Lord Mayor, and he was so.
—Lord Mayor called on him to state the offence,
which he did.
—The Letters ali admitted by Lim before the Lord
Mayor.
—Family did not arrest him until the Thursday he
promised to depose.
—lle said this was sot the first time 'the Bishop was
charged. la fact 14 years ago, Bishop obliged to pro.
secede for similar charge.

Ne csooot afford to go farther in our transcription
of broken sentences. We therefore despatch this
cue for the present—but we cannot close without re•
marking, that though the counsel noted on his brief,
that there was a former charge agaiaat the Bishop,
there is not the smallest allusion to Me circumstance
in the report of the trial.
