In consequence of an invi tation from the Town's Committee, the Non-commis sioned Officers and privates of the Manchester and Salford Yeomanry Corps partook of an excellent din ner, at the Albion Hotel. The health of his MA jpsTY, with four times four, and the loudest cheer log, was drank. The Doroughreeve and Constables, and the Officers of' the Corps, honoured the party w ith their presence. After the cloth was removed, several loyal speeches were made, and toasts drank. Among the latter wet e—" His Majesty's Ministers"— H The Duke of Wellington"—" The Rev. Mr. Hay," &c. The party did not separate till a late hour. . Ball and Supper was given on Friday, at the Assembly Room 4, in honour of the Coronation, which was mot numermisly attended. Over the entrance to the Assembly Rooms, a splendid Crown, lighted with gas, was arrayed. At one o'clock, upwards of 600 persons were present. PLYMOUTH, JULY I. Thnrsday being the day appointed for the celebra, tints of his 'Maaeszy's Coronation, the morning was u-tiered in by many a men y peal. The Royal stan dard of England was displayed from the towers and :lanai station, and colours decorated with laurel, ecc. were suspended from the windows in the different streets. At ten o'clock the Mayor and Corporation, attended by the Military Staff, and accompanied b. the Band of the 11th Regiment, walked in procession to St. Andrew's Church, and on their e,arance were greeted with GOD save the Kinz" After Service, the Hallelujah and Coronation Anthems were excel lently sung, under the direction of Messrs. BENNETT and SH PH Ea ED, the fine powerful tone of the organ giving great effect to the performance. On leaving the Church, they were met by the procession from the Hoe. at the head of Broad-street, and joined in the following order: Corporation Flag—Two Trumpeters on Horseback—Town's Corporals, with Cloaks and Staves—Committee of the Festivi ties—Pensioners, Naval and Military—The Methodist Sunday School— The New Tabernacle Sunday School—Baptist Sunday School—Batter-street Charity School—Public Free School — Union Flag—Band of Musiz—Drunts and Fifes—Household of Faith—Mrs. Hudson's Cbildrea—Workbouse Children—Lady Welles School—Green School—Blue School—Red School— Grey School (Boys)—Grey School (Girls)—School Children three and three, preceded by th.dr Masters and Teach: Ts—Cont stables, mounted, with Staves of Office—Royal Stand.ird—He rald—Charnpion in Arin.mr, with Two !sages—!land of Music— Corporation Flag—St rjeants at Mace—Mayor and Recorder— Two Juatices—Aldet men, robed, two and two—Clergymen — Common Councilmen, rotted, two and two—Deputy Town Clerk—Freemen, three and three—Goientor and Guardians of the Poor—Gentlemen of Plymouth—Band of Music—Sir Fran cis Drake anti the Genius of Plymouth, drawn in a Car—Union Jack—Naval Officers, in Uniform—Military ditto, in ditto— neemasons—Trades—Gentlemen's Carriages. They then moved to the Reservoir at the head of Old Town, built at the sole expense of the late Sir FRANCIS DRAKE, where the Genius of Plymouth having drank to his memory, the procession passed on by the route laid down, and entered the Market place, where a dinner was provided for the poor, at different gates. The Mayor and Corporation having taken their seats in a booth, the Mayor gave the health of " the King, and long may lie reign," which was drank with enthusiasm, the Band striking up GOD save the King." After the Mayor's health had been drank, he proceeded to the workhouse to see the children regaled. The dinner in the Market-place consisted of 5,701 pounds of beef, 549 pounds of mutton, 2,000 pounds of plum-pudding, and 4,250 penny loaves, provided by a Sub-Committee, under the management of Mr. HANYATORD, of the Commercial Inn, to whom much praise is due for his unwearied attention, and it is calculated that above 5,000 children and adults par took of this substantial fare. In the evening an im mense bonfire, thirty-three feet high, and seventeen feet at the base, composed of 154 tar barrels and 23 dozen of furze, was lighted on the Hoe, and conti nued burning for several hours. The public dinner at Whiddon's Royal Hotel was attended by the Officers of the Navy and Army, and the principal Gentlemen of the neighbourhood, and consisted of every delicacy. After the removal of the cloth the following toasts were given : "The King. GOD bless King George the Fourth! Long may he reign !"—with four dines four. Tune, God sane the Ring. " The sacred memory of his late Majesty George the Third," In solemn silence. " The Royal Famdy."—Bribas strike home. " The Duke of York and the Army."—Duke of York's March. " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy."—Rnic, Britannia. His Grace the Duke of Wellington, Governor of Plymouth." ...See the Hero comes.

" Lord Morley and the Chamber of Commerce." i‘ The Vicar of St. Andrew's," &c. &c. &c. The Ball, in the evening, which was well attended, wasopened by Captain Firzer.o azatce and M iss Aar wax, and dancing was kept up with great spirit until the following morning. The Officers of the 11th Regiment celebrated the Coronation in the Citadel, by giving a plentiful din ner to their men and their wives and families. Several parties dined at Hannaford's Commercial Inn, and spent the day with great conviviality. The Coronation-day was celebrated in the adjoin ing parishes, St. Budeaux and Pennycross, by giving a dinner to the industrious labourers and their fami lies of both parishes united, on that beautiful , com manding spot, the Church-green, at St. Budeaux,' where 350 sat down at a circular table, covered with roast beef and plum-pudding. The Gentlemen and Farmers, by whose liberal subscription the whole was provided, attended with their worthy Minister, who also handsomely contributed, and carved for their guests. " Prarre ton, from whom all blessings flow, " was sung after dinner, and " Garr save the King" in conclusion, with three times three hearty cheers to the health of GEORGE IV. which terminated this happy day, equally gratifying to those who founded the feast and those who shared in it. At Plymouth-Dock, and - Stonehouse, the Corona. tion was celebrated with the same enthusiastic loyalty. The Officers of the 3d Regiment of Guards gave a dinner, in Granby-square, w the non-commissioned Officers and privates, with eteir wives and families. Tables were laid on the greet, enclo , ed by branches of laurel, tastefully dispose 1, and surmounted by tablets, on which were inscribed " Lincelles, Egypt, Talavera, Barossa, Peninsula. and Waterloo." After dinner," The health of his Majesty George IV. and may he live lung to sway the sceptre of these realms," was drank with enthusiasm, and loudly cheered. The National Anthems of" GOD save the King" and "Rule Britannia" were then sung, accompanied by the band. The Officers were present, and appeared highly gra tified with the loyalty and harmony which prevailed. GOSPORT, JULY 21. At the Sun Tavern, Gosport, a select party of up wards of thirty respectable inhabitants assembled, to celebrate the Coronation of their gracious SOVEKEION; when Mr. SMITH, with his usual liberality, served up dinner, consisting of fiAi, venison, poultry, and every other delicacy of the season, in a sumptuous style.— The dessert eonisted of the clnicest fruits, both fo reign a•"d native, and the latter of every description; with wines of various sorts, of excellent flavour and qualities. WILLIAM PA ItMETER, Esq. presided as Chairman ; and, after dinner, mAny constitutional and patriotic songs were sung, and appropriate toasts given; with which, and the judicious conduct of the Chairman, the company were so highly gratified, that they did not separate till a late hour, SKETER, JULY 21. Thursday, at day-break, discharges of artillery and small arms announced the arrival of the auspicious day, when the mutual pledge of Sovereign ani People was to be made at the Altar of Goo At eight, the bells of the Cathedral pealed their majestic tones, and rung at intervals during the day, aided by the hum bler spires of the parochial Churches. At the sug gestion of the Nlavon, business was suspended, and the inhabitants thronged the streets in their holiday attire. At half-past eleven the Right Worshipful the MAYOR and Municipal Body, accompanied by a great number of the respectable inhabitants, Charity Schools, &c. assembled at St. John's Hospital, from whence they proceeded to the Cathedral. On their arrival near the Cathedral, the organ played GOD save the King, and continued it until the Procession had entered the Ch..ir, when Divine Service com menced. HANDEL'S Coronation Anthem, Zadock the Priest, was given with great effect, and, if the coun tenance be an index to the feelings, the hearts of the crowded audience glowed with increased joy as the inspiiing sounds, (ion save the King—Long lire the King—May the King live f or ever burst upon the ear and echoed from the walls of the spacious edifice., An admirable Sermon, suited to the occasion, was' delivered by the Rev. Chancellor JOIINES, from 1 Tim. ii. 1, 2. At noon the East Devon Militia as -1 sembled at the barracks, and fired several vollies and jeus de joie; they were afterwards regaled with bread and cheese and strong beer in the Castle-yard. The enjoyment of the industrious and poorer class of the community was not forgotten in their respective parishes. At night there was a brilliant display of Ere-works, in the Cathedral-yard ; and, although at the late General Meeting of the Inhabitants, the idea of an illumination was superseded by the more useful one of regaling the poor, the loyalty of numerous in , dividuals could not be repressed, and some elegant transparencies, and various devices in lamps were exhibited. In fine, Exeter was alive with festivity from the earliest dawn of day till long after the hour of midnight. It was a day of exultation and triumph ; and nothing was w tilting to support that character for loyalty which has ever marked this ancient City. YORK, JULY 20. - - The august ceremony of the Coronation was yes terday celebrated in this city, in a manner that reflects consioerable credit on the political principles of the Public Functionaries, and the general loyalty of the inhabitants. The day was observed by the Corpora- 1 tion going in procession through all the Bars and prin cipal streets, preceded by the band of the 2d West York Militia, the mail coache., and accompanied by the Gentlemen holding official situations, the princi pal Citizens, the 15th Hussars in full uniform, the two Clubs of Odd Fellows, &c. &c. There was also a grand civic dinner, and a display of fire-works in the Barracks; and the different Schools connected with the Church of England and other denomina tions, were assembled publicly, and made participa tors of the grand festivity. KETTERING. TO THE EDITOR Of THE STAR. SlR—Being on a journey, fortune kindly arrested my progress at Kettering, in No: thamptunshire, on the day of the Coronation; and having business to transact, I was induced, or rather compelled, to halt till the following morning. However, I was amply compensated for the delay by the festivities which I bad thus an opportunity of witnessing. At one o'clock of the day, the inhabitants were regaled with hot roast beef, plum-pudding, and ale, upon the Market hill. The healths of the KING, the QUEEN, and the Royal Family, &c. &c. were drank ; the QUEEN'S par ticularly was received with reiterated and loud huzzas. All the orincipal Ladies in the town made tea for about 2,000 women and children, the same after noon, in small groupes. The whole assemblage dispersed between eight and nine, very orderly, and highly delighted with the en tertainments of the day. Not a single incidental oc currence happened to interrupt the harmony or cloud the social pleasure of this memorable day. Indeed, " Glee, good humour, unity, and joy," appeared de picted in the face of every one. JOHN KEEL., Esq. Banker, a most respectable, venerable-looking, and much-esteemed character, of 75, occupied the Chair,' and was ably assisted by his brother Banker, J. C. Gaxcu, Esq. who repeatedly addressed his townsmen in a very impressive and suitable manner, which de servedly produced thunders of applause. In justice to this apparently well-regulated town, I hope you will do roe the favour of inserting the above in your Paper. Pcterborough, July 21, 1821. VIATOIt. ANNAN. Thursday being the day appointed for the Coro nation of his Maaes:rv, the same was observed at Annan with every mask of enthusiastic joy. The bells lung at intervals during the day; and at five o'clock 35 of the most respectable Gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner, provided at the Queens berry Arms Inn. by Mr. BE.vsosz. After the cloth' VMS removed, the following toasts were given by the Chairman (Provost Lirrne)—" The King," with three times three—" The Queen," with three times three—(Gove applause)—" The Duke of York and the Army," with a number of loyal and patriotic toasts, accompanied with suitable sons and the evening concluded with the greatest conviviality. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, JULY ie. Yesterday, as was anticipated, this town was crowded beyond. any former precedent in our recill. lection, by the double attraction of the Races and the celebration of his Majesty's Coronation. The cele bration of the day was begun by firing . a Royal sa lute from the Castle guns, and the ringing of the bells of the various churches. which was continued at intervals through the day. The Royal salu.e from the Castle was repeated at noon. At the request of the MAYOR, the shops were kept shut, and hilarity And amusement seemed the ger.eral order of the day. The weather was very fine. BRIGHTON, JULY es. The Coronation Fete here is still the theme of every tongue ; its progress was as animated as its close WAS happy. Two accidents, we find, were in volved in the joyous proceedings: a person, in climb ing for a prize favour, fell and broke a thigh ; and another, in the vivid frolics of the crowd, had his shoulder dislocated: both are doing well. The carving knife and fork used in dissecting the roasted bullocks on the Steyne, were a present from the Kirio's cutler, Mr. PALMER, together with a cork screw of extraordinary dimensions, designed for the extraction of bungs from casks. This offering was accepted from Mr. PALMER at the moment of the carving : he appeared in a waggon, embellished with painted devices, exhibiting silken colours, and containing many hogsheads of brown stout, which were distributed to the populace. The fishermen on the rigged machine, with mounted swivels, blazing sa lutes at intervals, canvass sails and waving streamers, was an interesting object that day, and a lively sym bol of the affectionate loyalty of that useful body of omen. The Dinner at the Old Ship on Friday, and the Coronation Spectacle at the 'Theatre the same evening and last night, were regarded as the sequels to the universal merriments of the 19th. The for mer was numerou.ly attended, T. R. KEMP, Esq. in the Chair. The dinner was sumptuous; a baron of beef, surmounted by a crown, gave a pleasing cha racter to the head of the table. All the varieties in season were there, well dressed, and as well served up. The choicest wines flowed in• abundance, ac quiring additional zest from an appropriate routine of loyal and patriotic toasts and sentiments, inter spersed with songs of a corresponding cast. INCLE DON, as at the Chapel festival on the preceding day, was in capital voice ; he delighted all present, and warm and sincere were the compliments he re ceived from the Chair and surrounding Gentlemen. TAYLOR, the son of the veteran of that name, was much applauded for his musical dim ts, and various amateurs pleasantly contributed to the harmony of the day. In the evening the Theatre was crowded —the receipts reached £9O. Pit and Gallery were crammed to an overflow, and nearly similar in those compartments of the House was the case last night. The splendid spectacle exceeded expectation; the ap probatory roars at intervals shook the house; en thusiastic were the spectators at its onset, process, and termination. It is again to be exhibited on Mon day, and probably every_night throughout the week. ENGLISH AT PARIS. On the day of his MAJESTY'S Coronation, the Eng. lish residents at the Hotel Meurice celebrated the event by a dinner, at which sixty persons sat down to table. " GOD save the King" and 44 Vine Henri IV." were executed by a military band. The healths of their Majesties GEORGE IV. and Louts XVIII. were drank with great enthusiasm. The company had also the gallantry to drink a bumper to the Ladies of France—French Paper. CORONATION FETE AT VAUXHALL. A grand Masked Fete, in celebration of his Ma- Jewry's Coronation, was given at Vauxhall Gardens last night. The doors opened at ten o'clock, and the scene that presented itself to the view on entering by the great door, was brilliant in the extreme. Se veral thousands of lamps, in addition to those in or dinary use, were most tastefully and judiciously dis posed, so as to produce a richness and splendour of light e q ual to the brightest daylight. Over the Royal boxes were displayed, in coloured lamps, the Royal Arms, with the Union Flag and St. George's Jack.— At the bottom of the square, in the rear of the or chestra, was exhibited a magnificent allegorical transparent painting, designed in honour of the oc ca'ion. Underneath were the words " Long Live Ge azelVrinbrightgold-coloured lamps,a continued wreath of laurels, in bloom, formed in coloured lamps, running round the whole as a border. The dark walks were all blocked up, that in which the fire-works are usually displayed, with a large painting of a sea-view; and the parallel one leading to the cascade, with a theatre, in which Mr.GYNGELL, throughout the even ing, exhibited a varied series of performances, con sisting of the Oazbres Chinoises, tight-rope dancing by mechanical figures, slackwire dancing by young GYNGELL, balancing, and gymnastic exercises. In other parts of the Gardens were exhibited Punch, the Fantoccini, and several of the Mechanical Boxes, such as the Savoyards and Italians travel through the country with. In the Rotunda, at various periods , of the night, Mons. CHALONS exhibited, his sleight of hand performances; Mons. Ai EXANDRZ went through his unparalleled efforts of ventriloquism ; Mr. WiLsori danced on the tight rope ; Mr. GYN CELL delighted the company by playing several charming airs on the harmonized musical glasses, which he executed in the most tasteful manner; and the surpi ising RAMO SAM EE performed several of his most astonishing feats. The extreme showery state of the weather through the whole of the day certainly operated in preventing the attendance of many.— About twelve o'clock, however, nearly 1,500 persons, including dominos and plain dresses, assembled in the gardens, comprising the usual assortment of cha racters. About half-past one the boxes wet e opened, and the company sat down to an excellent supper, consisting of every kind of delicacy, and fruits, and ices of the best quality in profusion. After supper, the entertainments of the earlier pat t of the evening were repeated, and the several Bands which had been playing alternately through the night, commenced quadrille, waltz, and reel tunes, and the dancing continued till six o'clock this morning. The six Royal Pages at the Coronation were Lord CHARLES JAMES Fox RUSSELL, Lord W. RUSSELL, Lord VILLIERS, Hon. M. VILLIERS, Lord I:080%1C K, and Mr. HOWARD ($Oll of Lord, MottrE t COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-THIS DAY. This morning, at nine o'clock, the trial of flex e, the shopman to Mr. Carlile, in Fleet-street, for a libel, came on before Judge Barr. At half-past eleven o'clock the Jury gave a ver dict of Guilty. Immediately after, the trial of Mary Ann for the publication of a libel, came on, and was pro ceeding at the time our Reporter left the Court. SPORTING IN7ELLIGENCE.

Friday se'nnight, Mr. GARDEN, of Oxford-street, the operative chemist, met with an unfortunate acci dent, which had nearly proved fatal to him: while preparing a quantity of a fulminating mixture, it suddenly exploded with dteadful violence, scorching and wounding him most severely. He was so seri ously injured that much apprehension was enter tained for several days; but he is now considered out of danger, though still suffering acutely. AULANCHOLY END.—Last night, a man, who ap peared to have seen better days, was detected in the act of stealing about two pounds of bacon from the shop-window of Mr.Wituttms, cheesmonger,'n the Minoties. On being seized, he begged in the most moving terms that they would not expose him, and exclaiming, " Oh, GOD forgive me!" he suddenly fell down in the shop, and expired in two minutes. He was taken to Aldgate watch-house, to await a Corc• ner's Inquest. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Mr. KEAN having ar rived in town yesterday, resumed his theatrical labours last night on his return from America. — Though the notice which the Public had of his ar rival was necessarily short, it soon spread among the admirers of the drama, and a full attendance was the consequence. He was hailed with the loudest plau dits on coming forward in his favourite character of Richard the Third, which he r erformed with great spirit. This zeal to please the audience by whom he was first introduced to fame, carried him through his task with energy and success, notwithstanding the fatigue of his journey; and he was - never seen more anxious or more capable of doing justice to the part. The audience testified their satisfaction by reiterated applause, which, in many instances, interrupted the performance, and when the curtain fell there was a general call for the Theatrical Hero, who came for ward after a short interval, and addressed the audience to the following effect : " LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—I assure you the gratifying recep tion which I have this day experienced from you, and the. highly Battering applause which you have been pleased to bestow on my feeble efforts this evening, have nearly overpowered my feel ings—(diVause).—l will only add, Lather and Gentlemen, that I trust, during my absence from my native country, my con duct ha 3 been such as not to disgrace the character of an English man"—(Loud applause). —Mt. ItussELL then came forward and stated, that Mr. KEAN having only arrived at twelve o'clock, was so entirely overcome with the fatigue of the journey and the performance together, that it would be im possible for him to appear, as had been announced, this evening. He will, on Wednesday, perform **- lock, and on Thursday, Othello. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—This Theatre wis again opened last night at half-price for the whole eveteng's performance—a circumstance which did not in ap pearance lessen the respectability of the audience. which was very numerous. COBURG THEATRE —A Grand Rom rntic Pare°. mime Spectacle was last night prod.iced at this Thea tre, under the title of Napoleon B o naparte—General, Consul, and Emperor. The Piece is got bp w.th ail that splendour of decoration and dress, and beau. y of scenery, peculiar to this Establishment. The Piece throughout was received with loud applause, and au flounced for repetition this evening.
