Notwithstanding the KING'S prohibition to the QUSIIN to appear at the approaching ceremony of the Coronation, her MAJXSTY has intimated that she has determined to make the experiment of obtaining admission. When we took notice of the demand which her MAJESTY had made, that a suitable place should be 1 provided for her accommodation, we stated, that we thought she could not in decency be denied that favour. Whether, since she has been denied it, her MAJESTY ought to make an attempt to force her way, is a question on which we rather think there can be but one opinion among reflecting and impartial people. Were anything to be gained by the attempt, in point of right or of character, we should say, let it by all means be made; but i►► neither respect do we see that her MAJESTY has the least advantage to achieve. Her right, if she has any, has been sufficiently as serted, by the demand which she made to have suit able accommodation provided for her; nor will it afterwards add in the least to the public sense of the hardship with which her MAJESTY has been treated, to find that she was refused admittance,where she had been so clearly forewarned she would not be admitted. The attempt is one which can be atended•with no thing but certain defeat, accompanied with circum stances of public exposure peculiarly agonizing to her DIAJESTY feelings ; nor can we sufficiently deprecate that aavice which would expose a Lady who has al ready suffered so much, and so unjustly, to such an aggravation of her misfortunes. From the part we took respecting the prosecution of her MAJESTY, our Readers will readily do us the justice to believe, that our opinion in the present in stance is not dictated by any indifference to the wrongs her MAJESTY has endured. We regret the coarse she is now taking, as we would regret the errors of a friend whom we esteemed above all others. Her MAJESTY has hitherto gone on well and glori ously, " conquering and to conquer;" the public mind has gone along with her in all the steps she has taken; but in the course she now proposes to follow, we feel well convinced that the public mind will not be with her ; and therefore it is that we lament to see her advised to adopt a measure in which she will be abandoned by what has been the great means of all her past triumphs—the countenance of the British People. She will be exposing herself to indignity unnecessarily, wantonly—by some it may be thought pettishly ; and a case of indignity thus courted, is not one of that sort in which a magnanimous nation ought to be expected either to interfere or sympathise. Although there seems but little doubt that her MAJESTY will persist in her resolution to make the attempt to gain admission, the Public will be glad to perceive, from an extract which we subjoin from The Tinges Journal, that there is not the least proba bility pf its leading to any disturbance of the public peace. Her MAJESTY will go to the Abbey and claim to be admitted ; and if refused, as she doubt less will be, she is quietly to return home ! OPINIONS ON THE QUEEN'S CONDUCT. THE TIMES. " It being tiv! undoubted right of QIIZINS to participate in that dignity, whatever it may be, which is conferred by the solemnity of s Coronation, her Ithavery owes it to the station which she occupies, and to future Queens of ENGLAND (Heavex preserve them from sufferings like hers !), to leave some testimony that the right has not been lost in her hands, and that in not enjoying it, she has simply yielded to brutal force. Her Majesty, there fore. we have some reason to suppose, will proceed in decent state to the Abbey door ; she will there request admission, and if entrance is refused her, sbe will return !" TILE MORNING CHRONICLE. a Those who receive orders to offer personal violence to the (InEKN, on her Illa,s.vry's approach to Westminster Abbey, to be present at the Coronation, will do well to consider the conse quences to which they may subject themselves before they ven ture to act on them. We understand it is the opinion of Lawyers that her illasrasay is within the protection of the Statute of Treasons equally with the Kum. " If the case come before a Jury of their countrymen, it will not be sufficient for their justification, that they acted agreeably to ,rrlcn. Het "Alusesvr can only be resisted by lawful authority, and it will be for the Jury alone to decide whether the authority nn which they may act is lawful. It is not the first time in the bloory of this country, that military have been subjected to the Is.t punishment of the law for obeying unlawful orders." THE NEVI TIMES. " We confess, when we first heard that her Marescr, not v ithstinding her pretended right to be crowned had been so ' lonnly decided against, still wished to be present at the Kum's s •lllmation, we thought, indelicate as the request certainly was, i• might be better to grant than to dispute it. But we had not then the slightest idea of what now appears to be the case. We coi.ll not have conceived that, so long ago as the 7th of May, the going had been in possession of a distinct notice, that it was 'the Kms's Royal pleas:tie that she should not attend the ceremony. After this, her declaring that' it is her intention to be present; and 'dem:siding that a suitable place may be ap pointed for her,' is really a sort of conduct which we are very unwilling to characterise by its proper epithet. The Ktsc's Royal pleasure is the &won this subject—a law th.o asjject c.an infringe without being guilty of a high oats. demeanour. Her likassr being a foreigner, may perhaps be hi some measure excused for her ignorance of English laws and customs; but those laws and customs cannot bend to the no dons which she may have collected from factious advisers, or Prom seditious Newspapers, especially in a matter of so high im port as the reverence and submission due to the Royal Crown of England. " It is her Musser s bounden duty, and we wish her to know it, as she is the first subject of our. Kum, to be the most obedient. She has received an Order which she most obey, and which she ought to obey without a murmur." THE MORNING POST. 1, We should think it real tenderness to the Weirs to prevent her from attending a ceremony which can only awaken in her mind the most self-accusing recollections and the bitterest re- To such of our Readers as may be fortunate enough to see any part of the splendid ceremonial, the fol lowing information respecting the dresses of the Peers, may be of some service: The Berens of England, who constitute the lowest part of the Peerage, had formerly neither coronets nor velvet robes, but only a cap of scarlet edged with fur, and a habit of cloth of the same colour. In the thirteenth year of the reign of King Crum.= the Sammy, be issued a grant, permitting them to use the coronet which they now wear; and which consists of a plain circle of gold, having six pearls set upon the upper rim, the lower part of the circle edged with ermine, and the whole surmounted by a cap of crimson velvet, with a tuft and tassel of gold. At the Coronation of King 111311111 the Socotra, in 1684, the Barons petitioned for robes conformable to their coronets, and accord. WIT a grant was issued, stating that, for the future, their robes should be of crimson velvet, with capes and edgings of white asiorne, and two rows of ermine, as a distinction. • Viscount, which is the next degree upwards, has for his einem a circle of gold, richly chased, edged with ermine, and dztesn pearls placed on the rim, with a cap and tassel similar to Baron's. His robes are also of crimson velvet, lined with white sarcenst, with white fur capes, and two doubling' and a half of spotted ermine. The coronet of an Earl is a circle, as before, richly chased, having eight pearls raised upon high points of gold, which spring out of the upper rim, with an equal number of strawberry leaves, formed of the same metal, standing upon lower points between them. It has also a doubling of ermine; cap, and tassel, as al ready described. An Earl's mantle is similar to the former, ex cept that it has three guards of ermine. A Marquis's coronet differs from an Earl's in the number of pearls and strawberry leaves, and intim manner of placing them. It consists of four of each ornament placed alternately, on short equal points, with the same doubling, cap, and tanteL The robes have three guards and a half of ermine. A Duke's coronet is formed of eight golden strawberry leaves only, raised on short points of the same height above the rim ; the fur, cap, and tassel, are the same as before. The robes be longing to this degree have four rows of ermine. It is necessary. however, to observe, that robes, as well as coronets, are regulated by the Earl Marshal's orders at every Coronation. His MAJESTY expressed his intention to enter West minster Hall precisely at nine o'clock on Thursday morning, at which time the ceremony of depositing the regalia on the table before him, and subsequently delivering it to the persons by whom it is to be borne in the procession, will be performed. At the conclu sion of this preliminary form, the procession will move off to the Abbey. 'The ceremony there being ended, the procession will return, and by eight o'clock it is anticipated his MAJESTY will be able to take his seat at the banquet, and with this terminates his most arduous and fatiguing labours of the day. Miss Faccowas, who precedes the procession as his MAJESTY'S herb-woman, has received the badge which she is to wear on this important occasion : it is of gold, and will be suspended from her neck by a gold chain : it bears an inscription indicative of her office on the one side, and the King's Arms on the other, beautifully chased. The six young Ladies who will attend Miss Far.- Lowes as her maids are Miss GARTH, Miss Cowan, Miss RASISBOTTOII, Miss HILL, Miss DANIEL, and Miss WALKER. Their costume will be white. Miss FELLowas will wear, in addition, a scarlet mantle, trimmed with gold lace. Mr. JENKINSON, of the Mary-la-bonne Nursery, has been engaged to furnish the flowers for the occasion, which will consist of the most choice and rare exotics. Arrangements have been made with the Artillery for giving proper signals from the top of Westmin ster Abbey; the moment his MAJESTY shall be crowned; so that the circumstance may be instantly announced to the country by repeated discharges of cannon, at the Tower, in the Park, and elsewhere.--* Several pieces of cannon have been planted on the banks of the Thames, by private persons, to partici pate in this manifestation of joy. The Lord Mayor of London, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and twelve citizens, accompanied by the Mayor of Oxford, will proceed to Westminster by water, and land at the stairs leading to New Palace-yard. The tide will serve admirably for the occasion. The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and Citizens of Lon don will dine in Westminster Hall, at the end of the table next the triumphal arch, on the right as they enter. The Lord Mayor made his claim to this el feet, according to ancient usage, and it has been recognized. APPROPRIATION OF TIIE HALL.—During the week the Lord Great Chamberlain has, in virtue of his office, appropriated the different seats in the llall: On the right of the Throne, or on the east side of the level with the Royal Platform, is situated the box for the female branches of the Royal Family ; and that opposite to this is the box for the Foreign Ministers. The gallery above this box has also been devoted to Foreign Ministers, and the large box over that of the Royal Family is to be divided between the Earl Marshal, the Lord High Steward, and the Lord high Constable. The lower gallery, on the east side, is devoted to persons hav ing the Lord Great Chamberlain's and Peers' tickets. The upper gallery is divided by windows into sections, and has been thus appropriated: First and second windows, back benches, Heralds; front seats, the Lord High Steward of Scotland. Third window, Lord Steward. Fourth window, the Speaker of the House of Commons. Fifth window, the Surveyor-General. Sixth window, the Auditor of the Exchequer. Seventh Window, the Board of Green Cloth. Eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth, the Lord Great Chamberlain. Seats next the Music Gallery„the Board of Works. Lowxa Gau.sar-IVasr Sim—Peeresses' places, and Peers' tickets. Urns GsLLESY.—Tbe second and third windows, the Lord Chamberlain. Windows fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth, the Lord Great Chamberlain. It is due here to state, that at former Coronations almost all the places which were the privilege of the Lord Great Chamberlain were sold at enormous prices. , Lord GWTDYR, with a nobleness of mind which be comes his high station, has declined pursuing a simi lar course; and has presented tickets to all those whom he has considered entitled to that privilege. Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, the Marquis of ANGLESEA attended in Westminster Hall, mounted on his dun horse, to practise riding backwards and forwards in the centre of the Hall, previously to his accompanying the Champion on the day of the Co-I ronation. The Earl of LAUDERDALE, Lord GRAVES,I a party of Ladies, and several distinguish ed charac-1 ters, were present to see the Marquis practise. The noble party were conducted over the kitchens, &c. to view the preparations going on for the Coronation banquet. The stock of meat, and what is commonly called broken victuals, are to be distributed among the poor of St. Margaret's parish, by command of the KING. The Overseer has the meats, &c. taken away every morning, at nine o'clock. Yesterday afternoon, a number of Gentlemen from Woolwich were in St. James's Park, making arrange ments for a grand discharge of rockets, and fire works of various descriptions, on Thursday evening, in honour of the KING'S Coronation. Other demon strations of rejoicings are to take place; the whole to be under the direction of Sir Wm. CONGREVE.— Yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, three Royal Ar tillery waggons, from the Arsenal at Woolwich, ar rived in the Park with the preparations for the fire works, and were placed near the Guard-house at Pimlico gate. All the old matting in the passages of the House of Lords has been taken up, and new matting substi tuted, and in fact every arrangement has been made, for completing the whole in the most convenient and comfortable manner. The covered way leading from the House of Lords to the Poets Corner of Westminster Abbey, is finished, with the exception of a passage which is left open in the centre for carriages, and which will be closed at a certain hour on Thursday morning. It is through this covered way the members of the Royal Family, the Foreign Ministers, Peeresses, and persons having Peers tickets for the Abbey, will proceed from the one place to the other. In addition to the military bodies which will be under arms, the whole civil force of Westminster, at well as that of other districts of the metropolis, has been summoned to attend. The mounted and dis mounted patrol, under the direction of Mr. DAY, Will likewise be on duty. Parties of military will be stationed on the Surrey side of Westminster-bridge, Wands worth, Hyde Park, Waterloo-place, M illbank,&c. The Thames Police vessel, usually moored off Sur rey-street, in the Strand, has been removed to the station she held during the QUEEN'S trial, viz. oppo site Cotton-gardens. Saturday Mr. DYMOKE, the Champion, attended by Mr. BLYTHE, riding -master, took his last lesson at Astley's Amphitheatre, and was pronounced per fect in all the duties which he will have to perform. He was surrounded by a large party of his friends, who greeted him with warm applause. He was him self dressed in the entire costume whieh he will wear on the day of Coronation, including his helmet, which is decorated with a splendid plume of ostrich feathers. The plume consists of twenty-one feathers, in three alternate rows of white, blue, and red, sur mounted by a heron's jet-black tuft. The horse was also attired in the housings and other trappings pre pared for the occasion, which consist of an antique formed saddle, high in the pommel, with pistol hol sters. There is also a rich scarlet saddle•clotli,nearly covering the horse, richly embroidered. The horse's head, like the helmet of the Champion, was decorated with a plume, consisting of sixteen feathers, in rows alternately white, blue, and red, with a heron's tuft at top. The pistol holsters considerably obstruct the view of the person of the Champion ; it is nut imprci bable, therefore, that they will be dispensed with.— After the Champion had finished his lesson,the armour was sent to be burnished, and the housings and trap pings were returned to have some alterations made. The heads of the horses of the Duke of WELLING TON, the Lord High Constable, as well as those of the Marquis of ANGLESEA, the L ord High Steward, and Lord HOWARD of Effingham, the Deputy Earl Mar shal, will be decorated with plumes of ostrich feathers, with heron tops.—The Duke of WELLINGTON and the Marquis of ANGLESEA will ride their own horses, which have been trained in private. The following Notice was issued from the Herald's College on Saturday, on the subject of the costume to be worn by the attendants on the Peers in West minster Hall : " Ikralds' College, July 13, 1331. " These are to give notice to the Lords Spiritual and Tempo ral, that the attendant to wait on each Lord during the banquet in Westminster Hall, on the day of his Majesty's Coronation must be babited in a scarlet single-breasted frock coat, edged with narrow gold lace and gilt buttons, with a garter blue silk sash round the waist, white kerseyntere waistcoat and breeches, and white silk stockings, with black shoes and scarlet rosettes." The Lords' Committee, appointed to superintend the arrangements for the Coronation, assembled on Saturday at Whitehall, at one o'clock. Earl HAR ROWBY sat as President ; and, among other illus trious and noble individuals who were present, were their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Vona and CLA• RENCE, the Duke of GLOUCESTER, the Duke of WEL LINGTON, Lord DONOUGHNIORE, Sir W. SCOTT, &C. A variety of topics connected with the preparations in progress were brought under their Lordships' con sideration. Several official Notices, intended to have been inserted in Saturday night's Gazette, were also discussed, but these, from certain alterations which were deemed expedient, and which required conside ration, were withdrawn, upon an understanding, that an Extraordinary Gazette should be published to-day, in Many which of th theye Peers eeearlls will to go appe ix l i r. their barges to West minstercray7tre KFiirnsgt.sLowradteofrmtleine appeared Admiralty. on Thursday. This t will be the case with L° S rd atu N r i i their new clothing, and were inspected, previous to the day Of the Coronation, when they are to carry the King's dinner from the kitchen to the Hall door. PREPARATIONS FOR THE BANQUET.—Not a day passes in which the avenues leading to the kitchens are not crowded with persons laden with viands of various descriptions : 27 fine fat bucks had arrived on Saturday from the Royal Parks, and 33 more are expected to-day. The necessary stock of wines and malt liquors has been delivered. The cooks and their assistants, 91 in number, commenced their opera tions on the 12th instant. Independent of the cooks, their: are 69 other persons employed Lira count- tionary, pastry, and wine departments, making t o . gether 160 individuals. These persons are provided with every necessary, and the large fire-places bef ore . mentioned are undergoing a due degree of seasoniag. PREPARATIONS FOR SPECTATORS.—The appear ante of the vicinity of Westminster Abbey a n d H en is now so completely changed, that it is impo ss ihh e to recognize the objects which we have hitherto b ee% accustomed to see on that site. The whole area b e% been so altered by the carpenters, in their sp ecu l a . tions upon the Coronation, that nothing is now se m but structures raised is amphitheatrical, and, inde e d, every other form, to accommodate those who wi s h to be spectators of the external part of the app roac h. ing solemnity. These buildings have risen with d ie talismanic rapidity of the transformations in a Pl a y ; many of them are, however, solid, spacious, and co in , modious, with every accommodation of retiring than, bees, and fitted up for the reception of patties lath e previous night. Of these the Grand Central Pavilion affords accommodation on the most extensive scale. but we shall name them in the order in which they appear from the grand entrance to Westminster Ab. bey. Over the great gate, and beneath the om ens are some small galleries; that on the left band as you enter is called the Select . allery, which is sple n didl y fitted up, in boxes like the Theatre, with scarier a n d white hangings and gilt ornaments. The gallery at the right of the entrance is called the Royal Gal. lery, and is fitting up very like the other. The front of the Westminster Sessions House is fitted up with seats, many of which are engaged by the Police Magistrates and their friends. The garden within the railing, at the opening of Great Geo sgs s, street, is-subdivided into a variety of structuteu S u b. stantial galleries have also been fitted up: the first called the Royal Platform, inclosed within the ga t . den, extending from the end of George•rreet. Ti a second division is called the Royal Amphitheatre. , and is a continuation of the same garden. The third is the Royal Garden Pavilion, extending west:viol of the Sessions House. The space facing Palate yard, and within the railing near St. Margaret's Church, is called the Grand Central Pas ilion, which commands a front view of the procession as it pm. ceeds from and returns to Westminster Hall. The seats are commodiously arranged, and well fitted sp. The seats on the one side command the Palace -4i view, and on the Westminster Abbey side, of the procession. The Grand Central Pavilion extends neatly 1,500 feet, and is capable of containing 7,000 persons, with suitable arrangements for provision and refreshments of every description; it is a eat complete and grand structure. In front of the Court of Exchequer, in Palace-yarst are some neat commodious galleries at the firer lib of the Hall there are also galleries fitted up. Osa the Champion's stable is a gallery, which, in additive to its view of the procession, will command tie champion's egress. The fronts of the houses in Pa. lace-yard are all fitted up for the reception of pany, in galleties calculated to afford every accos. modation. From some of the houses the from sal side walls have been taked down, and the rookie supported by substantial props; the whole num being appropriated for the reception of coups* These places bear a variety of names, some of the as whimsical as caprice can make them; there are .the Navy Hotel, Royal Observatory, kc. &c. The prices in front of the houses, and at all the diktat booths and places of accommodation, vary home' to twenty guineas, and the utmost dispatch is meal completing the erections. - INSTRUCTIONS RESPECTING THE APPROACII TO WESTMINSTER HALL AND ABBEY.
