During the whole- of Wednesday the citizens were running to autt bearing all manner of rumours about the spectacle taking or nut taking place on Thursday ; and it was hinted, upon tolerable good authority, that the King himself had esi•rceted sonic re luctance at being thus publicly exhibited in the sheet& The show. however, bad been expected, and so a Gazette on Wed nesday evening announce it for the following day at two. — The morning of TilllrS.igy wan rather uupropitious, but still it did not prevent the streets, balconies, booths, windows, and housetops lion being througed at an early hour.

(Fiscus. the Ealiabos...o Mar.) ROYAL PROCEsSION.—I i ne people general viewing it as the last politic occasion that presented itself to them of testifying their loyally and attachment to their Sovereign during his so journ here, embraced it with avidity, and collected it, crowds (rein all quarters. This feeling was hot confined to the men alone. The gentler sex shared in their zeal and participated in their enthushism. Ihuuthers of collides, elegantly attired, graced the ditfelent platforms and galleries from Holyrood house to the Castle, mud showed by the animated expressioue of their countenances how lively au iutere st they took iu a scow which they served at once to embrace and adorn. When the state carriage arrived at the barrier gate, outside the drawbridge, his Majesty descended, and the keys of the Castle were delivered to him by the Governor. His Majesty walked with a firm step along the drawbridge, till comitig to the inner gate lie stepped into another state carriage which stood waiting, the grenadier company of the Goth regiment forming his guard of honour. The Boysl processitin moved slowly through the street and narrow passages of the Castle, pausing a momeut at the Loveroor's-house, till it came to the half-inuou battery, where a platform was erected. this Majesty ascended ibis, and soon presented himself to his admiring pen; le, who hailed him with the loudest acclamations. The cannon soon toil from the lower butteries that the King of Seotlaud stood upon the summit of Eiliutis grey crest. The Calton, the crags, and the fleet, answered, and though tlie lowering fog prevented ,his Majesty Loin enjoying the line and extensive view, it threw a dark auoliinity over the whole ; and the broken towhees of chit, and cray, and turret, came out with the most imposing effect. The King expressed himself highly delighted ; and, when some of his attendants regretted that it rained, he raid, with a smile, " Never mind, I can wear my bat." After his Majesty bad shown himself for a few mi nutes to the shouting awl delighted people, he descended from the platform, and resumed his carriage. His Majesty repeatedly bowed to the ladies who graced the lioe of the procession, and our fair countrywomen greeted their Sovereign by a constant waving of handkerclii:fs, amid the loadeat acclamations of the crowns who filled the streets be. a .ath them. An interesting spectacle was presented to his Majesty when lie arrived at the head of West Bow, where a platform was erected for and Idled by the masters and boys of the High Seliool of !fetich's Hospital, Vs UiSOU'b Hospital, &c. The High School of youths were dressed in blue jackets and white trowsers, with a blue sash, and the others in their respective tmithrius. The appearance ofsu large and ihtercsting • body of the youth of Scotland, could not fail to be highly in teresting to his Majesty. THE REVIEW.—Ou Friday at five o'clock the King re viewed the cavalry on Portobello Sands. The day was uncom monly liar ; the appearance and conduct of the troops was such as to draw forth the warmest commendations of his Majesty, w ho, minuted on a superb eliarger, rode gracefully along the line.— The rank, fashion, and elegance present, were beyond all paral lel im Stu laud, and the whole went oil with the greatest eclat. On Thursday, at a general meeting of the Institution fur the encouragement of the line arts in Scotland (the Earl of Weinys in the Chair), it was unanimously resolved that an equestrian statute, in broiler, of his Majesty, be procured, and that his Majesty be invited to sit for the, object to any artist be may be graciously pleased to Mime; and to appoint the place where tke statute ought to be erected in Edinburgh, io order to coin usemorate, in the moat lasting wanner, his Majesty's auspicious visit to Scotland.

THE CIVIC BANQUET. EritSIBURGII, SATURDAY ETESING.—The body of the ball was occupied by four rows of tables, containing, we should suppose, covers fur about 300 gueste.—The vocal pf t remors were packed M oats of the " Ordinary's" boars, and the Imitrume..tal Band is another :—and the learned permits, as well as such of the company generally as were familiar with Edinburgh, 'beard with no small umouislituent the notes of song and of fiddle, flaming from the saner plat es whence are wont to issue the aoleten dicta of the law. The room w as thronged by six o'clock, autl though there was mots: gravity than is usually found at a divaer party, the c oup crud was ra ther stit kine. The Lord Provost of Edinburgh, in hie robes and catena tion, otimpied the post of homier on the King's right baud ; but though his Lordship be upon ordinary occasions a very po lite man, he seemed a little shaahed at the' dining for the Mat time, and in all proliability for the last, at the right bald of Ma. ji sty. The King arrived at a quarter to seven, dressed in a Field blaraliers umform, and store ti,e honour, of the Thistle. As tweet as his Majesty hid taken his seat, Ilse Very Reverend Principal Baird said grace in terms ail measures which were at mine orthodox sad lit coining. Immediately all was still, save the tinkle of prates, rid the occasional tone* of music. When his Majesty had dined a geutleitian entered, beating • silver ewer and basin, and silendtd by two pages.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER After No* Nobis Domino had been mucommonly well sung by Mr. M'Grath and his professional and amateur baud, the Lord Provost rose and spoke to the following ellect " My Lords and Gendetueu,—l base the honour to propose i t the health of his Majesty, who has this day bolsoured us with his presence, and who has conferred upon the good city of Edin burgh, a distinction which, 1 venture to say, will never fade I fro n the memory ui tide grueration." The bumpers were instantly tossed ono, we believe, sixteen I rounds of cheering, but they ran so iuto each other as to have the effect of a military jeis de joie. The sigual fur the royal salute from the Castle had not been true to a second, and so their peals were symphony to the short j and very neatly spoken reply of his Majes. y, who r ose and said in effect— .. I teal this one of the proudest days of my life, I return you ' toy warmest thanks for the reception which 1 base met with iu this country, I um highly hitelSilett Wl' It your attentions, and want words to express my leelings, and so 1 shall, without fur ther ceremony, drink to all your good health's." The speech of the King was followed by warm plaudits ; these by " God save the King ;" that again by the " Duke of York and the Arniv," and that by the " Duke of Clarence, and rest of the Royal Family." Eac . toast ecoompanied by %stetted honours, and appropriate music, both vocal and hist' umental. W hen the last note of the music had ceased. his Majesty again ruse, and the Provost has iog knelt, sad kissed halms, the King lifted him up. and tut mug to the company, gave " The health of Sir kV ni.Areuthuot, Baronet, sod the Cor poration of Ediuburgh." The newly-made Baronet blushed, the King smiled, the com pany applauded, and the iiiii *as played and sung " Within a mile of sweet Edtuburgh town," and" Apollo." His Majesty ruse a third time, and proposed " The Chieftains and Claus; and way God Almighty bless the Land of Cakes." After which, he and his more immediate attendants retired, escorted to the door by the Lord Provost, amidst peals of ap plause, with which the brazen tongue of holm and trumpet con tended in vain. The Chute of State vanished forthwith, tied was replaced by a common one, in which the Right Hon. Sir Arbuthnot, Baronet, Lord Provost of Edinburgh, seated himself to preside for the remainder of the evening.— ' By this 'isle a venerable Senator of the College of J ustice had decided that the wine was good, and so it began to circulate with more rapidity. The Duke of Hamilton, after passing an eulogy upon Sir W. Arbuthnot for the ordeily arrangements that hat been made, proposed his health; and Sir W. returued thanks, a good deal overcome by the freshness and greenness of his me rited houours. I As soon as the Right Honourable Chairman had recovered himself, he proposed--" A :ono, prosperous, and happy reign to his Mejesty, and " The Three auspicions Days, the I-Ith, 15. h, and 2116 of August, in which his Majesty had anchored on the Scottish Strand, set foot on the Scottish Shore, awl ho noured the Lord Provost and Magistrates with his Company at Di tttt er"—To these followed, " The Btitish Consitution in Church and State ; " and " The health of Mr. Secretary Peel," all of which were drank with becouting enthusiasm sod ap plause. By this time (about ten o'clock) the room was thinned of the principal Nubility, and at u seemly hour the liaineitt dually closed, in order that all might, Oil the Folk. lug day, be pre scut, outside ur iuside the high Church.

Ori Isis Majesty's entrance, lie was received by the Ministers and Elders, arrayed in a line in front of the church dour; Dr. Daird then had the honour of attending his Majesty from the dour, arid shetting the way to Inc royal seat, and we under stand that air interesting incident occurred iu the progress.— His Majesty bad a sealed packet in his hand! he inquired of Dr. Baird where the usual receptacle for the congregation de positing th-ir contributions wan placed ; on tieing told by the Reverend Principal that the usual receptacle hail been removed for the dole, iu order to avuid interruption to Iris Majesty's entrance, Iris Majesty appeared to regret circumstance, arid Lien the packet into the Principal's hand, he desired that it mi,;l7t be applied with the rest of the collection, to the benefit of the pour.

His Majesty then took his scat with, among other eminent persons of his suite, the Earl of Errol (hearing the sword or state), on his right {uril, and Lord Cleat, on, as Lord iu Waiting, un his left.

SERVICE PERFORMED AT THE EDINBURGH BAN lt.—The honourable sau ce of attending on the King, with a silver basin end ewer and napkin, fur his Majesty to dip his hands, which was performed on Saturday by N'‘llliam Howison Crawford, younger, of Braellead din/ Crawfurdland, in place of his mother, the proprietris of Hraehead, in the connty of Mid Lothian, being the tenure by which these lands are held, has its origin in the following %try interesting stury,•related of au ancestor of the present tamily of llowisou of liraebead Ouc of the kings of Scotland, James IL or 111. Gavelling incuy. (as was frequently his custom), in the neighbourhood Crantunil-bridge, was attacked by a wing of Gipsies, then very numerous in Scotland. The king long gallantly defended himself, but they at length succeeded in twinging him to the ground, whets a husbandman named Howison, and hia son, employed in thrashing grain in a barn hard by, hearing the noise of the setae, culled out, Ind seeing our man attacked by so many, gallantly sided with the weaker party, and dcalt siicli lusty blows with their ILtida among the I 'ipsies, as put them to (light, and rescued the stranger from his perilous situation, They afterwards conducted him to their humble dwelting, mall, bating ph beefed him will a basin of water and a napkin to remove the blood and dirt from the bruises received in the contest, they gate Lim refreshment as their houss afforded. Tradition adds, that when the stranger laid aside Lis cloak, the farmer perceived by his apparel I that he was a person of some diatinction, sad placed him I ac:ordinly at the bead of his board. This was at lint declined, bnt the farmer persisted, saying, " He was master there " and the stranger was obliged to comply. Helene plug away, the stranger, after many thanks, invited his deli• verer to visit him iu Edinburgh, and desi. ed him to inquire j at time Castle for arse JAnes Swint, who would gratify the u. riosity he had expressed of seeing that fartieas. " Wow, man," obaerved the farmer, " 1 would like to see the Castle ;" considelin g o this, perhaps, a sufficient remuneration fur the I assistance he had tendered. At no eliatant period, the farmer availed hiffi. &of the invitationond, leaving asked for his friend, as directed, was with due amazement, ushered into an assembly • • of nobles and courtiers, among whom lie recognized his old j friend " James Swint." lie again repealed his gratitude, and nt the smile time informed him that the King was present, whom he would soon lied out by being the only person covered. " Then," said the bewildered farmer," it be either you or me." After dirertiag himself at the rantler ' S simplicity, the now-dis. closed Monarch desired the twiner to name a boon, such es lie could bestow, for his deliverance. The buneat rualic modestly ; replied, that the summit of his earthly wishes was to become I proprietor of the lands he occupied as bointsmun, which was cheerfully complicit with by the 3lonareh, and a crown charter of the lauds of Braelieud was immethately prepared, with the redtkmdo of holding a basin of water and napkin for the King to wash, when required no to no, in COllliiitillOrittloll Of the flieudly oilier perffirmed by the huthandiumn to his Son ereign, out ran i ouing him from the Gipsies.
