The gorgeous ceremony of the Coronation was performed on Thursday, pursuant to proclamation.— Our opinion that it was unnecessary and indiscreet, under all the existing circumstances, has already been given —that our opinion coincided with the general fieling of all classes was evinced by a degree of in difference unequalled on any other public occasion, and an extent of apathy that might well have parti cularized a College of Stoics. We sought in vain for that feeling of proud participation to which we have been accustomed on any occasion of general sejoicing—nowhere was the extncy shewn which ought always to attend such an eccurrence—in no instance could be seen the entl►usiasm that betokens heartfelt reciprocation ; but during the day, in the scene of expensive tumult only, was the appearance of joy, and at night the illumination, so Cr from being general, was nearly confined to the houses of Ambassadors, Ministers, recently-made Peers, and those whose trades are followed by the imposing addition of" To His Majesty." An old gentleman, who was in London at the last Coronation, assures us that the feeling at that time was perfectly dif ferent,but it may be remembered that then no petty, personal, inveterate hatreds were indulged - George the Third was crowned with his Queen, and the dullness of Thursday's exhibition loudly proclaims how muds the people deplored the absence of their present much injured Queen. 11.1.-OMENS.—WIien our late revered Monarch was crowned, one of the most valuable ,jewels drop ped from the crown—those who predict after an occurrence has taken place declared that this was an omen of the loss of America.—On Thursday night, shortly after the lamps were lighted in front of So merset-house, the wooden form of a crown (rather an improper substance, by the bye, to form it of;) took lire, and burnt for more than half an hour, to the great danger of that beautiful building ; the ar rival of the engines, however, removet: the anxiety of the neighbourhood.—An order was given to illu minate all the public offices for three successive nights—this order has been countermanded, but whether from a want of unison on the part of the public, or from the above accident, which would be regarded as an ill-omen by a club of old women (and that such u thing should influence the present admi nistration we wonder not) we comet tell. Letters limn Madrid of the sth instant state, that Terrinos, the King's Treasurer was placed under arrest the preceding day On searching his papers, some documents were found which proved him to have been in connexion with Merino, with Abuelo, and with Zaldivar. CORONATION PROMOTIONS —A Gazette was pub lished on Friday, in which appears the following Promotions in both Army and Navv : ARMY.—The Colonels down to Colonel Nichols (1814). to be Major Generals—Lieutenant Colonels down to Patrickson (1811), to be Colonels—Majors down to Aldred (18 121, to be Lieutenant Colonels—and Captains down to Annesly (1807), to be Majors. The Brevet takes in Lieutenant General Hugonin, Major General Hawker, Colonel Jasper Nichols, Lieut. Colonel Christopher, C. Patrickson, Major Cary, Royal Artillery, and the Captains of taw. NAVY.—The Earl of St. Vincent to be Admiral of the Fleet, a rank equal to a Field Marshal in the Army ; Post Captains, down to Walker (1797) inclusive, to be Rear Admirals; 10 Commanders; the junior of whom is January, iblY, to be Post Captains; 20 Lieutenants, the junior of whom i. 1506, to be Commanders; t. , 0 Midshipmen, all of whose seniority is prior to 1814, to be Lieutenants. . . _ The strictest aurntion has been had to the seniority of Close officers who have served since the peace. CoNsi iTUTIONAL ASSOCIATION.—The London Grand Jury on Friday found a true bill against Sir John Sewell, Charles Murray, J. B. Sharp, and one Longueville Clarke, for a conspiracy, in forming an unlawful Society, and fbr committing several al 'coed acts of oppression and extortion. Murray and Sharp are of course well known as active officer; of this mischievous and officious Society. Clarke is, we believe, a clerk in their employ, and all have been douhtless selected fin. the purpose of trying the question with the ostensible, though perhaps in themselves insignificant, agents of the committee. A first rate line-of-battle ship, built upon a boau tiful model, is nearly ready to be launched at Chat ham. The name originally intended was the Prince Regent., but we understand it is to be changed to George the Fourth. The head and quarter galleries are a fine specimen of marine urchiti.cture. She is to carry 110 guns. A large shark was caught in the river at Mahlon, on Wednesday evening, the 4th inst., which mea sured eight feet in length, four feet ten inches broad, and its tail was two feet four inches. It was exhibited by the fishermen in Chelmsford market on Friday, the Gth inst. At a general meeting of the York Whig-club, held in that City on Monthly last, it was resolved that the expellee. of the coronation is a ticiAiless waste of the public money ; and that :thin:ll4h it has been stated by the Privy Council that her Majesty cannot claim to be crowned as a right, the meeting are decidedly of opinion that she ought to be crowned. Thanks were at the same time voted to Mr. Hume, Mr. Wyvill, and Mr. Chaloner. SAILING NI ATCH .—On Friday several pleasure boats started from Blackfriars-bridge, to sail to IVandsworth, for a wager. After a fine contest, the Ludlow was the winning bout. On the 13th instant the Guild of 13,1rwick-upon- Tweed voted the freedom of that ancient city to Joq , ph Hume, Esq. M.P. fur Aberdeen, as a mark of their approbation of his exertions, during the last session of parliament, to promote economy and re trenchment in the expenditure of the st.ltc.

ANSWER. " July 20, 1821.

" I have the honour to be, " With the hig!iest respect. Madam, " Your Majesty's most obedient humble sel vont, (Sigoed) " SIDMOUTH.' ANECDOTE OF HIS LATE MAJESTY.--When his late Majesty was residing at the Palace of' Kew, the Princess Charlotte, then a little girl, was staying with the King ; and it was his delight to tuke her out with him in his morning and evening walks.— On one Occasion, as she was going out into the garden from the White-horse at Kew, his Majesty observed to the pages, who were standing in the hall, " Make way for this poor child." On this the young Princess remarked, " I am not a poor child, g, rand papa—indeed I am not." " Yes, my dear," answered the Kino., " you are, and I will tell you why. You are kept by the whole nation, and that makes you poor indeed ; and as to the crown, I assure you, it sits not light on the head of those who wear it !"—A fine method this of conveying an instructive moral to her youthful mind; and of teaching much more forcibly titan a long datctie discourse could have done, the grace of humility on the one hand, and the virtue and gratitude on the other, front Princes to subjects. THE CORONATION MEDAL —A gold medal, in a red-morocco case was given to each of the Peers. "l he silver medals were not very profusely distributed. They were thrown among the boxes, and here and there a smart contest took place for tke prize. In the. Earl Marshal's box two gentlemen were sung , gling for several minutes for a medal, which fell between them, but which, however, neither of th.mt found. When they resumed their places, a young lady, who was a quiet spetator of the contest, put her hand down between the benches, and took tip the medal, much to her own satisteation and that of her family. The medals have on the obverse a head of his 3iajesty in a very high relief, crowned with laurel. The edge is raised, and encloses the inscril tion " Georgius IV. D. G. Britanniarum Rex, F. D." The reverse presents the King sitting in a chair, holding a baton in his hand : Victory crowns him in the presence of the three kindoms, which are represented by three figures, the foremost holding the trident for Beitannnia, the second Erin, distinguished by a shamrock in his helmet, and the third Scotland, known by a thistle in her helmet. The three figures rest their right hands on an altar, which, in a pan.. nel, his the snake with his toil in his mouth, sig nifying eternity ; meaning that the union of the three was to be eternal. Behind the figure of Vic tory are the emblems of peace. agriculture, and com merce. Over the figures is the fallowing inscrip tion :—" Proprio jam fare, aniino pat,-rno ;• and beneath them are the words. " Inabgaralus. Die Jufi .1a no NI.DCCCXXI." The woi I:roan:41;p of the reverse is excellent. The fignres are exqui sitely cut, particularly that of los Majesty. The head on the obverse does not strike one as well dote, though it is a gaud likentass. r • 229
