Obsered one day, I met him in the park, • P—r . says he. • the day looks very dark.' • It does, say I • • but, never mind,' says he, • Much darker days than this you'll live to see, I've seenthem, sit.—his words were true, indeed : Unhappy England P in your utmost need, You lost a man, u much above the praise Of Major Cartwright, or of Father Hayess As London monument, on which we state, Is rais'd above the chimneys of Rag Fair z He was a man, • bi ns foe all in Ttutt lireampeeth t the of Thenwt t Anil much I fear—i all hopes are vain, • We ne'er shall look upon his like again.' His tomb I rais'd—the tribute was sincere; Th' expense was heavy,—but the friend was dear, The Noble Lord, I see, is pleas'd to smile; But there's not one in all his rank and tile, Who, when the Noble Lord is cold and dead, Will ever place a stone above his head. I need not say how fully I agree 113 this petition from electors free,— From men, whose tongues no gagging bills can fetter, They know me well, and no man knows them better.

Had I said less, I'd surely been to blame : Why, sir, my cheeks would blush with burning shame Before my friends at Coventry to come, Or catch a passing glimpse at Peeping Tom."—(A laulk! (To be eot,tinmed) • Chief Clerk at St. Stephen's. The border is about nine inches wide, and of most extra ordinary workmanship. On the outside runs bullion fringe, and beyond that appears a narrow edge of ermine, and a part of the robe which hangs down in front is also embroidered in every respect as the other part. From the right shoulder of the robe are suspended four massy gold tassels. The body of the mantle is studded all over with the rose, the thistle, and the shamrock, placed alternately. The train wnt be supported by seven train -bearers, eldest sons of peers.. Thus attired. his Majesty will enter West minster Italloputibewee advance in grandirroeeseloo to Westminster Abbey along the grand platform, extending from the northern door of the Hall across New Palace yet d, the end of Great George-street, and round the west entrance into the Abbey. In the Abbey his Majesty will change his dress for the solemn part of the coronation. His Majesty will now tale off the robe and snrcoat, and will pia on the super tunics, which is made of silver-frosted cloth, most richly embroidered in gold, with the rose, thistl-f, and shamrock,. encircled with a double wreath of er,:is, laurel, and palm, interwoven together, to the ":suers is the crow" in the centre of a gloria.

At the end is a handsome fringe about me inches deep, and over Ibis is put the Dalmatian ':obe, which is made of gold, with the ruse, thistle, st.'oil eagles, woven in their proper colours. The tou“Asrenibla is most magnificent. This is the dress in idcli his Majesty is anointed, and it will therefore remain in the Abbey atter the ceremony. Atter the ceremony of crowning, his Majesty will put on the imperial purple snrcoat and robe, mode and em broidered in every respect like the crimson robe,aud then the procession will return to the Hall In the same order in which it went to the Abbey. The whole of these spirit:ha dresses were embroidered by Mr. Holbetli, the eglebratesl embroiderer, of King-street, Golden-square, Ander the immediate directiZll of his Majesty, whose exquisite taste he lies had the guod fortune to completely understand, and who has been graciousiy pleased to express his perfect approbation of the manner in which he has executed the task. It is, indeed, an extraordinary effort in tile art. Every object is worked tip and relieved with a skill that surpasses all description ; in short, nothing equal to thieve dresses was ever executed in this count, y, and we are as sured that they stripes. in splendusr and magnificence ail existing in Europe.

A satirical poem has just appeared under the title of " My Note Book, or Sketches from the Gallery of St. Stephen's"—Our readers, doubtless remember a work of extraordinary genius and ability, entitled " The Rejected Addresses" in which the style of the living writers 'was admirably imitated, and we think " My Note Book" abounds with equal poise.. It is from the pen of a gentleman, who is attached to one of the daily papers as a parliamentary re porter, and none but a gentleman accustomed as he is to the manners of the different members, could have so faithfully pourtrayed them. We may be allowed a momentary digression from the immediate subject of our observation to allude to the qualifi cations necessary to form a good parliamentary re• porter.—ln the first place, nature must have been lavish to him mentally and corporeally—his percep tion rou s t be correct—his ear and eye quick—end his constitution. of such power as to enable him to endure the privation of sleep'„by night, frequently fi)r weeks together—his education must have been liberal, and his clasical acquirements extensive—as to a perfect knowledge and practice of stenography; though necessary, it is of so minor importance us to scarcely deserve mention. We have thus di gressed for the sake of enabling our readers properly to estimate the character, and acquirements of a class of laborious members of society to whom the lovers of a newspaper are incalculably indebted— but to return to sly Note Book—of which the least praise, is not, that its author appears to have exer cised a degree of political impartiality that is really astonishing—in his preface he says " I have seen enough of Tories, Whigs, and Radicals, to make me reject the opinions on which they advance their respective claims to constitutional purity"—and be i has followed up this dee(agittion, by an equality of rie.icule levelled tat all parties.—it is with ranch plea sure we perceive from the " FINIS pro tens," that we are likely to be again delighted by his pen— and we now proceed to give a sew extracts, premis ing—that if we did not think it unfair to the Au thor, we believe we should please all classes of our, readers by continuing them, till we had copied ti ie whole book. The following debate is suppose' "a to take place on the presentation of a petition, Vont plaining of the Milan Commission) from Co sentry, by the worthy member for that city. A DEBATE.
