COLLEGE, JULY 14. it is hereby ordered, that no person whatever who shall be present at the solemnity of his Majesty's 'loyal Coronation as spectators, do appear in mourning habits on that day. Yeaerday morning the. Champion's horse, and that of Lord llowA RD of EFFINGHAM, were taken to the Champion's stable; and at ten o'clock Mr. DYMOKE, the Champion, mounted his charger, ani exercised for an hour in the Hall. Mr. BLYTHE, the Riding- Master, passed Lord How's ito's horse through all his pees. Lord Touttistyrox and several other Noble• men witnessed the scene. The following is the Official Ceremonial to be ob served on the introduction of the Champion: THE CHALLENGE Before the &cond . Course, the Deputy appointed to officiate as King'a Charipion for the Lord of the 'Manor of Scrivelsby, in Liacolrshire, will enter the Hall nn hor , tback, in a complete sAit of brk::: armour, between the Lord High Constable and Deputy Earl Marshal, also on horseback, in the following manner: Two Trumpets, with the Champion's Arms on their Banners. The Serjeant-Trumpeter, with his Mace on his shoulder. Two Serjeants at Arms, with their Maces on their shoulders. The Champion's two Esquires, in half-armour, one on the right hand bearing the Champion's Lance, the other on the left hand with the Champion's Target and the Arms of Dymokc depicted thereon.

Four Pages, richly apparelled, attendants on the Champion. At the entrance into the Hall, the trumpets sound thrice, and the pas.age to the King's table being cleared by the Knight Mar shal, the Herald will, with a loud voice, proclaim the Cham pion's Challenge, iu the words following: If any person, of what degree soever, high or low, shall deny or gainsay our Sovereign Lord King George the Fourth, d the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender raf the Faith, Son and next Heir to our Sovereign Lord King George the Third, the last King, deceased, to he right Heir to the Imperial Crown or this United Kingdom, or that he ought rot to enjoy the same, here is his Champion, who with, that he Beth, and is a false traitor, being ready in person to combat with him, and in this quarrel will adventure his life against him, on what day soever he shall be appointed." Whereupon the Champion throws down his gauntlet; which having lain a short time upon the ground, the Herald will take up, and deliver again to the Champion. They then advance, in the same order, to the middle of the Hall, where the ceremony is again performed in the same man ner. lastly. they advance to the steps of the Throne, where the Herald and those who precede him ascending to the middle of the steps, will proclaim the challenge a third time; when the Champion having thrown down his gauntlet and received it again rum the Herald, will make a low obeisance to the King; whereupon, having received from the Officer of the Jewel House a gold cup and cover filled with wine, he will present the same to the King, and his Majesty will drink to the Champion, and send to him by the Cup-bearer the said cup, which the Cham pion (hz.ving put on his gauntlet) will receive, and, having made a low obeisance to the King, will drink of the wine; after which, making another low obeisance to hls Majesty, and being accompanied as before, he will depart out of the Hall, taking with him the said cup and covet as his fee. The concourse of spectators who went to view the eve: nal preparations at Westminster yesterday was beyond all calculation ; the whole area in the neigh bourhooJ of the platform was crowded till a late hour. The Committee of Safety, at the head of which is Mr. HIORT, of the Board of Works, is indefati gable in superintending the erection of the scaffolds. Several have been condemned as unsafe. The Dean and Chapter of Westminster have ap propriated some seats in the gallery of Westminster Abbey to the Members of the Choir, which are at their disposal. SaturJay the Sub-dean of his MAJESTY'S Chapel Royal; Mr. KNYVETT, Organist; Mr. SHIELD, Mas ter; Mr. F. CRAMER, Leader; and Mr. J. CRAMER, Conductor, had the honour of a long interview with the KING, to receive his MAJESTY'S pleasure and in structions relative to the Anthems for Thursday next in Westminster Abbey. Yesterday morning the Music to be performed at the Coronation of his MAJESTY was rehearsed at the Argyll Rooms, under the direction of Mr. SHIELD, the Master of the King's Band. Mr. CRAMER led the Band ; Mr. KNYVETT presided at the grand piano. forte. In the evening another rehearsal took place in the King's Palace, Pall-mall. The Coronation Tickets for the Hall and Abbey are finished. The Hall Ticket consists of a specimen, in black and red, of the mode of printing invented by Sir W. CONCREVE. The printing is surrounded by an embossed border, composed of oak branches, %.:th leaves and acorns connected at each angle, with she Rote, Shamrock, and Thistle, which are sur mounted by the Royal Crown irradiated. The Abbey Ticket is printed from the same Cangreve plate, in blue and black ink, enclosed in an embossed border ct Gothic fancy, in quatre foil pannels. Yesterday evening, the Tickets of the LORD GREAT CHAMBERLAIN, for the admission of the several Gen tlemen connected with the Press toWestminster Hall, upon the day of the Coronation, were distributed from his Office at the House of Lords, and it is but justice to Lord GWYDTR to state, that his Lordship has ma =Jested a cordial disposition to render to these Gen tlemen the utmost accommodation in his power. Lord GWYDYR, and his Secretary, Mr. FELLOWES, were engaged the whole of yesterday in appointing door-keepers, and making the necessary arrange ments tor the admission of persons having tickets on Thursday. The number of regulations which are Ist to be completed make his Lord:tip% duties doubly fatiguing. A vast somber of most respectable per sons have tendered their services, gratis, to assist his Lordship's views. Sir GEORGE NAYLER, Mr. WOOD Mr. Youtra, and all the other Gentlemen connected with the Heralds' College, have come in for their full share of exertion and fatigue, in the preparatory arrangements for the solemnity. For weeks past they have been incessantly and laboriously occupied ; and have at the same time shewn a readiness and ur banity in answering the numerous inquiries for in formation with which they have been troubled, which does them great credit. For many days past their labours have not terminated till after two o'clock in the morning. It is understood that the dinner in the Hall will be served by sixty soldiers, who, from their regular mo tions, will not interfere with each other, and thus fa cilitate the plans already so well digested. The din ner will be one of the most sumptuous and splendid ever yet served on any public festival whatever. The Lords of Council assembled yesterday to make their final arrangements as to dress and the appro priation of Westminster Abbey. Alf the proprietors of scaffolds, and other accom modations for spectators, are laying in large stocks of provisions for the day of the ceremonial; and, as many persons will take their places over night, this becomes the more necessary. Unless persons are de termined to take their places at a very early hour on Thursday morning, prom a calculation which has been made of the time it will take for each carriage to set down, it will be impossible all who have tickets can • obtain admission. Yesterday morning, at half-past Seven o'clock, two marquees were pitched in the Green Park, to make arrangements for the fire-works to be let off on the day of the K txo's Coronation. In the afternoon, be tween four and five o'clock, they were raised and re moved to Hyde Park, the plan being altered, to let the fire-works off from that Park. The Royal Balloon will ascend from the Green Park, near the Basin, at twelve o'clock, on the day of the Coronation, the ground being marked out under the direction of Sir WILLIAM CONGREVIL Mr. C. GREEN, of Goswell-street, intends ascending in the Balloon, it being his own handywork. Yesterday a Circular was forwarded to the Magis trates of the various Police Offices in the metropolis, signed by Lord SIDMOIJTH, requesting them to attend at Whitehall this day, for the purpose of considering the most proper method of distributing the various special and other Constables, who have been sworn in to preserve the public tranquillity on the day of the Coronation. Mr. JoNES, the Marshal of the King's Bench Prison, has announced to the prisoners (upwards of 700 in number), that all who may think proper to accept of two pounds of beef and a portion of two butts of porter, will, by giving in their names to the Turnkeys of the Lower Gate, be furnished with the former on Wednesday next, and the latter at twelve o'clock on Thursday, in order to regale themselves in celebration of his MAJESTY'S Coronation. As the time is now fast approaching for the Coro nation, the exertions of the workmen to complete the preparations are redoubled : a vast number have been added this morning, of various descriptions.— The matting is nearly laid down from the west door of the Abbey to Palace-yard. Most of the scaffold ings in front of the houses now assume a very pleasing appearance, some of them being hung with canvass and paper, bearing emblematical devices. At eleven o'clock this forenoon, the Champion, Mr. DYMOKE, left the stable, and proceeded along the Platform into Westminster-Hall, for the purpose of exercising in the presence of a great number of Nobility and Gentry. Irr The Observer of Sunday, July 22, will contain a full and correct account of the Coronation Ceremonies, illustrated with Four Engravings, and Explanatory Tables. It will consist ofl Two Sheets, making Forty Folio Columns, without any adver tisements in either. Each sheet will contain Two Views of the Interior of the Abbey, and the Hall, at the most Interesting periods of the ceremony. The price of the two sheets will be fourteen pence (seven pence each). To prevent disappointments, the Observer will be kept on Sale for ten days after the day of publication, so that it can be had until the First of August; and being a stamped Newspaper, it can be sent to any part of the United Kingdom free of postage, franks for which purpose may be had gratuitously at the Offices, No. 169, and No. 192, Strand. The 'Observer can aloe be ordered through the Newspaper Agents, Postmasters, and Country Booksellers. THE KING'S VISIT FO SCOTLAND. It is understood that the KING intends passing the whole of August, and part of September, in Ireland ; and on Thursday evening last, the LORD PRESIDENT intimated to the Edinburgh Volunteers, who are at present on permanent duty, that he had the highest authority for stating that it was his MAJESTY'S gra cious intention to visit that city in September. We also understand that the families at present residing at Holyrood Palace have received intimation to re move, as the workmen are to begin immediately to put the Abbey in a proper state of repair for the reception of his MAJESTY. THE 12TH or JULY IN DUBLIN. —The statue in College Green was bedecked, on Thursday, in all the gaudy trappings of Orangeism. It was expected by many, after the friendly intercourse that had taken place between the Corporation and the Catholic leaders, that this offensive ceremony would be avoided.— But this result was rather hoped than confidently re lied upon by the Catholic Committee, for the LORD MAYOR said, that he would not pledge himself for the conduct of some of the headstrong , men of the Orange faction. About two o'clock in the afternoon, the Eag-staff, which had been fixed in the hand of the statue, was displaced by the wind; when (we quote the words of the Evening Post) 44 three stout ruffians, armed with pistols, ascended the pedestal to refix the flag." It is perfectly true that these per sons were armed with pistols (primed and loaded, we presume); they took some pains to let the people see them; and it is also true, we are informed, that to the sentinel at the Bank of Ireland was given in charge the ladder used for the purpose of ascent and descent during the day ! We have not learned that any ac cident occurred ; fortunately there was no riot ; but by what a slender thread was the danger of tumult and death suspended ! In proportion as the people were rejoiced by the notice issued by the Lord Mayor, on the day preceding, the greater was their disap pointment and impatience at witnessing the -miser able exhibition:' Wednesday night, a notice was is sued by the Lord Mayer to prevent this indecorum. EARL MARSHAL'S ANSWER ro ma QUEEN. The Duke of NORFOLK, the Hereditary Earl Marshal, has replied to the QUEEN'S letter, demanding that proper persons should be stationed at the Abbey doors to receive her MAJESTY, on Thursday next, that having delegated his authority to a Deputy, he has no official answer to give, but that he his referred her MAJESTY'S apiaication to the acting Earl Mar shal, who, he has no doubt, will pay immediate attention to it. THE MEETING AT KENNINGTON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. _ ll Helms TAYZIIN, Xi r, JULY 17, 1921. " Ste—On receiving your Paper of last evening, I was much surprised at reading an acionnt of a Meeting having been held at my - house, on Saturday last, purporting that Resolutions were agreed to, to present an Address to his MAJESTY, and that an answer was receivedfrom H. Honnouse, Esq. stating when and where it would be received. , 4 I beg to state no such Meeting ever took place at my house, you will therefore be pleased to con tradict the statement. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " W. BRIANT." [The statement which we inserted, came to us from an autho rity on which we thought we might place reliance. That a Meeting of some kind did take place at Kennington—that Re solutions to the effect pretended were arced to—and that a communication on the subject was made to the Secretary for the Dome Department, are facts which we consider as suffi ciently established, by the answer of the Under Secretary of State to that communication; and the only thing which does appear to have been erroneous in the report, *as the assertion that the Meeting was held at the Horns Tavern. We shall be sorry to find that the Meeting was one of the Hole and Corner description. The Qurcn did not stand in need of such surrepti tious aids on a former occasion.—En.l Mr. DEVMAN presented an Address to her MA SESTY yesterday, signed by 4,000 inhabitants of Not tingham, praying her MAJESTY to insist on the full enjoyment of all her rights on the day of the ap proaching Coronation. Her MAJESTY returned the following Answer to the Address from the Journeymen Sawyers of London and its vicinity : " I am much obliged by this affectionate Address from the operative Sawyers of London, Westminster, Southwark, and the Dock-yards upon the River Thames. " The late conspiracy against my honour and my peace was defeated by the union of the People. The People forgot all their political differences while they were generously defending a vili fied woman, and a persecuted Queen. The bad passions were never more infuriated in one part of the community, nor the kind and better feelings more sublimed in another. The People should never cease to remember that the great victory which they then achieved, they achieved by union ; and that it is nothing but the most thorough and entire co-operation of men of all sects and parties, that can ever enable the best part of the nation to triumph over the wont; or the upright and patriotic to prevent their degradation by the profligate and corrupt. " During the performance of the solemn Ceremonial on the 19th, I trust that the People will conduct themselves with au order, a forbearance, and a moderation, that will completely falsify the evil forebodings of their enemies. The best friends of liberty are always the most determined opponents of violence and confusion. Anarchy can profit none but our enemies. It is their hope, but it is our fear; it is our loss, but it is their gain. " If the enemies of the People are crafty, let the People themselves be wise. Without wisdom, and without virtue, which is a part of wisdom, liberty is but a delusive spew, or an intoxicating sound. While we prefer realities to shadows, let us leave it to our enemies to mistake shadows for realities. The eternity of freedom does not consist in the pageant of a day ! " I am deliberately excluded from the Coronation, while some of the Satellites of the Holy Alliance are courteously in vited to the spectacle ; and it is devoutly to be wished that it may teach them more highly to value the rights of nations, and more sincerely to respect the liberties of mankind. The love of the People is the strength of Sovereigns and the glory of Kings!" Saturday evening, a genteel dressed man brought ' a note to Mr. Km, Palace-yard, purporting to be from Mr. HAMMETT, requesting to have six of the best places for the Coronation. The servant took it up stairs, the messenger availed himself of her ab sence, and walked off with a valuable bracket clock from the hall. Sunday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, a disturbance of a very serious nature took place in Dean's-yard, Westminster, between a party of sol diers and the populace, in which five or six of the former were very much maltreated. It seems, that amongst those who were present to view the exten sive preparations for the approaching solemnity of the Coronation of the KING, were a party of drunken mechanics, who annoyed every person present by repeated shouts of 6‘ The Queen ! the Queen !" At length several foot soldiers came up, and were quietly amusing themselves with viewing the galleries and platforms that have been erected, when the afore said persons, apparently with a view to create a riot, assailed them with hisses and seditious cries, particu larly offensive to the Krim, and reflecting on the cha racter of his MAJESTY'S troops generally. The sol diers bore the offence for some time with great pa tience; but at length one of them, more imprudent than the rest, being closely followed by a fellow who was roaring ,4 The Queen," in his ears, turned round, and knocked the assailant down. This was she sig nal for a general fight ; the soldiers were surrounded on every side, and knocked down, and while on the ground were kicked most unmercifully. They made a spirited resistance; but being overpowered by num bers, were compelled to yield. Most of them had several wounds on the head and face, and one poor fellow, whilst on the ground, received a kick on the nose, which nearly severed it from the face. The rabble remained on the spot (or some time, shouting and hallooing, till at length information of what was going on was forwarded to the Magistrates, who dis patched a party of officers to the scene of outrage, and by their exertions some of the ringleaders were apprehended and tranquillity restored. Prince ESTERIIAZY gave a sumptuous Entertain ment on Tuesday, at Chandos House, Cavendish square, to a party of distinction. In the evening her Serene Highness gave a Grand Concert, at which most of the principal Performers at the Opera as sisted. The grand suite of -drawing-rooms, and the two principal dining-rooms on the ground floor, were most brilliantly illuminated; in the latter refresh ments were served, which consisted of all the deli cacies of the season, with the choicest fruits and wines. There were present nearly SOO persons of the first rank and fashion, including almost all the distinguished foreigners who are come from the Con tinent to attend at the Coronation. Lady GWYDYR has issued cards of invitation for a Rout on Friday next, at her house in Piccadilly. THE ARMY. The lion. Artillery Company muster in their own ground at one o'clock on Thursday morning, from whence they proceed to Privy Gardens, to wait for orders from Lord Sunrousu to take up their station, which it is expected will he on the right of the line of infantry, in consequence of his MAMMY kiug the Captain-General, and his Royal highness the Duke of Sussex, Colorel. The Ist Regiment of Bucks Yeomanry, who have volunteered their services at the approaching Coronation of the Kora, are expected to take possession of Portman-street Barracks, and will have a station of honour assigned them during thegrand ceremony. The Royal Perthshire Militia assembled at Perth, for 21 days' training and exercise, on Thursday week. GLASGOW, JULY 13.—Saturday, the Troop of Glasgow Yen inanry Cavalry, under the command of Captain ()WALD, which had been on permanent duty at Lanark since Saturday, the 50th of June, was inspected by Cr.!. ELLIOT LOCIMART, of Cleghorn, when he expressed himself highly pleased with the general appear ance and conduct of the Corps, the precision with which they per formed their various evolutions, the rapidity and steadiness with which they advanced to the charge, and the high' condition of the horses. The day was very fine. The agistrates of Lanark having kindly given the use of the Race Course, there were, after the inspection, a number of Races between the kiembers of the Corps, some of which were very well contested. A Purse of Ten Guineas, given by the Corps, was run for by horses belong ing to the adjacent Parishes, which was won in two heats. There was afterwards an excellent Foot Race, a Sack Race, and a Pig Race, for prizes given by the Corps; and considerable mirth was afforded by dipping in a tub of flour for a musket-bullet, but though many efforts were made by different persons, they were all unsuccessful in finding the bullet, and the ludicrous ap pearance they had when they took their heads out of the tub may be easily conceived. There were nearly 10,000 persons present. The Corps returned to town on Monday. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Accounts have been received at Izoves, confirming the loss of the Dutch East Indianian Arinus Marnsus. She was totally lost about 300 miles from Java, on the Ilelvoet side, every one having perished except four Rotterdam-men and one I)ort man, part'of the crew. At about half-past one in the morning of the 24th April, in 48. 24. long. 25. the brig Union, Captain Hamar, had the mis fortune to encounter the brig Agnes, of Dundee, ROB?. BARCLAY Muter, bound from New Orleans to Greenock, with a full cargo of cotton, when the latter vessel received so much damage thm she went down in a short time ; the crew and passengers (14 In number) having previously got into the long boat, but with the loss of all they had, save what was on their backs.

CONSPIRACY IN Pnussra.—From a Private Letter dated Berlin, June 26 A conspiracy to introduce the Spanish Constitution into Prussia, has been disco vered. At the head of it stood a Nobleman in the neighbourhood of Dantzic, a relation of M.Von Hum boldt, the late Minister. A great number of country people had pledged themselves, by oath, to support him; his design was to take by surprise Stargard, a strong town, where a depot of arms belonging to the Landwehr would have furnished the necessary means. He probably stood in connection ss ith some powerful people in Poland, where the Russian Government is much detested. A short time before the conspiratr rs intended to begin their work, the plot was discovered, and fourteen members were arrested. The Goverr ment is anxious to prevent anything transpiring of this accident, which, although ineffectual, proves enough, that sooner or later our military despotism must have an end. 44 The Government plunges itself, from day to day, in greater embarrassment ; for, in spite of all the re strictions, the expenses are greater than the revenue, because the soldiery swallows up such enormous sums. Several people are detained in prison for more than two years, without receiving sentence, which gives you an idea how justice is administered in this country." VAUXHALL GARDENS.—This charming place of summer amusement, after a short Suspension, was re-opened last night. The weather was fine, and highly favourable, but the incessant rain of the pre ceding day, appeared to have occasioned some de gree of apprehension to many of its frequenters as to the state of the grounds, for the company was not so numerous as we should otherwise have expected to see ; it was, however, of a more general and uni formly respectable character than is ordinarily seen in large and promiscuous assemblies. Yesterday morning a new Police Establishment was opened at No. 86, High -street, Mary-la-bonne; it is of the most spacious and commodious description. At ten o'clock, Messrs. Game' rus, RAWLINSON, and Hosems, the three Magistrates, took their seats, the Officers attended at the Office, and the business com menced. The front of the Office is a private house in High-street, through which the Magistrates enter to go into the Court. The back part is in Grouo-pas sage, which is adapted for the entrance of prosecu tors, prisoners, &c. There is a paved passage, Qpen• ing into a hall, leading to the Court, at one side of which is erected a strong lock-up house for prisoners. The inside of the Office, which is entirely new, has the appearance of a Court-house; it is lofty and spa cious, and nearly square. The walls are covered with wainscoting. The bench also consists of wainscot, and every facility is rendered for ventilation, by hav ing a kind of dome, with a glass skylight, and win dows round the Office. The Officers are the same - as were employed at the Shadwell Police Office. The business will be transacted in a similar way to the other Offices. It is rather extraordinary, that a stone mason, who was employed in the building of the Of fice, was the first person brought up and placed at the Bar, charged with assaulting a watchman. . a `.S 1
