face and protruding chin, or any person like his broad-built round-shouldered companion of the night before. At length the Castle guns announced the Queen’s approach, and all eyes were strained towards Holyrood, ex cept those of our hero and the. thief taker, which were wandering search ingly on every side, but all to no pur pose. No person answering the des cription already given could be seen. On came the royal carriage, preceded by a detachment of cavalry, and guarded by the Scottish Archers. Then followed other carriages contain ing Sir Robert Peel, Lord Aberdeen, ' and a number of the highest nobility. The shouts which rent the air were in cessant and deafening—louder prob ably than any which had echoed in the closes of the Lawnmarket for centuries before. A Queen reigning in her own right now received the keys of Edin burgh for the first time since they were presented to Mary Stuart on her arri val from France. The pressure at the barrier to witness this ceremony was tremendous, and offered the fairest opportunities to the industrious indi viduals whose fingers are most at work while other people are all abroad at eyes and ears. And possibly there might be more than one chevalier d’ln dustrie in the crowd ; but not the least appearance of the individuals specially wanted could be seen..

After hearing the Lord Provost’s address, and most graciously returning the.keys to him, the Queen moved on to the Castle, and the living torrent which rolled along High Street swept past to flood the Castle Hill, the Mound, West Prince’s Street, and every point where the royal lady might again be seen. Mr. Duncanson was disposed to give up the task he was employed in as hopeless, but the emissary of justice who accompanied him insisted strongly on making another attempt before the crowd should finally disperse for the day. He proposed that they should next proceed to the foot of the Mound, and there take up a position command ing the turning into Prince’s Street, as he knew the concourse of people at that point would be great, immediately on the Queen’s departure from the Castle. Thither then they went, and found the crowd immense, and every moment increasing. ..An extensive and high raised gallery, which had been in part erected only the same morning, occupied the corner of Prince’s Street Gardens, facing both towards Prince’s Street and the Mound, and was so com pletely crammed that they could obtain no footing on it, and it was not easy to find any’place so well fitted for their purpose. They, however, succeeded in getting on a stair right opposite, whence they could see to advantage all that was passing. Here they com menced their scrutiny, and the officer directed Mr. Duncanson’s attention to several individuals whom he knew to be suspicious characters, but none of them resembled in the least the persons he supposed had robbed him. While casting his eyes around him on all sides, in his anxious but fruitless seach, the student happened to look right across the gallery just mentioned, and observed on it Miss Montgomery and her aged father with Mr. and Mrs. Calmsough. The sight of his Agnes rendered him thenceforth incapable of exercis ing much vigilance in any other direc tion. He knew it was next to impos sible that he could be seen by her, or those she was along with ; and at ease On this point, he forgot for the time all else in gazing on her lovely face, which he did, till his Argus-eyed neighbor noticed the intentness of his looks, and inquired—“ Do you see the scamps yon der, think you ?” “ No, indeed, Ido not,” was the reply. This by no means satisfied the thief-taker, who said in a grumbling tone—“ Well, I think you should leave off staring at the pretty girls for the present; you may have a peep of them any day, but if you don’t get your eye now on the chaps we’re seeking, you may look a while again before you find them.” The justice of this rebuke made the young man blush to the ears, and he re sumed his scrutiny of the faces around him.

The Queen and suite were by-and-by seen on the ramparts of the Castle; and, soon after, a second discharge of the guns announced that her Majesty was again in motion. Immediately the royal cortege came down the Mound, and 4 sweeping round into Prince’s Street, proceeded westward at a rapid pace, amidst the acclamations of the as sembled thousands. At this moment, James looked again towards to the Queen of his Affections to see how the scene affected her ; and no sooner had his eye singled her out from the sur rounding throng, than, horrible to tell, the gallery on which she sat broke down, and precipitated its precious freight of human beings in a confused heap among the ruins. The student was stunned with horror, and for a few moments could neither see, nor hear, nor speak. (Ta be continued—commenced on July 26.)
