:~~ "=IMM•CiII Plcul'EtiCaill. CELEDRATIONs OP TIM CORO NATIO:V. —44.--- BISKINMIAM.—The boasted subs-ription of this town, and its 100,000 inhabitants, intended to corn niemoree the memorable Coronation, amounted to little better than 4001. !—lt became necessary, therefore, (arse permission) .to amerce the subscription of the private party, for regaling the King, had he come this way. The subscription for Asliborne in Derbyshire, contain-. ing about 4,000 people) amounted to 700/. ; and the sub scriptions of the neighbouring small towns, averaged 5001. each.—So much for the benefit of the insult of the public authorities of Birmingham, on the part of the :Ultras; and an outrage on the public seise of justice. Handbills of the Performance_ were given out in abundance ; but Play-Bill-like, there was the poff in every shape. direct, oblique, and collateral. Some six or eight oxen *ere roasted or rather grilled: for which a framed brick-work and iron-grating were erected, amounting in the charge thereof to about 125 per cent. on the Rawl material! This was a proper compliment on the Ministerial system of Financing. The tem porary Cook Shops being mostly at the different out skirts of the town off Me parement, a brisk wind and Lot sun were powerful aw.riliciries in powdering with dust and ashes, the respective joints, and helping the jirrsle.—We did not await the earring—having more respect for our recollections of the " roast beef of Old England." 1 n the course of the day, a small hand-bill was put forth—by authority—recommending the people to respect the windows of Quakers, whom a scruple of CORSCienve might prevent from lighting np their houses. 'f he object of this hand-bill appears to have been Iwo : to insinuate that the cause of the illumination nes vastly popular ; and to direct what vengeance there might he in the public mind, against the houses of all ex rept Quakers, who did not illuminate! It likewise as sumed the docti ine that a matter of conscience was only sacred in the society of friends—a doctrine of which the profession and the practice of such society are the best repraofs. Among the detires fur dignifying the day and the ec7i:siou, were Swarming Poles and bag. racing ; the former, al we presume, typical of a noble ambition ; the latter of the zig-lag and elegant movements of &IMMO!, retnnehmod on the part of Ministers. The only intere►tiug sight of the ;iay was the dining of many hundreds of the old and infirm at Mr. Ileardsworth's Rt positoty; and the feasting of the children, ou the psveutent encircling St. Martin's Chu'rch. The illumination uas not so general, though in occasional instances inure splendid, than that ou the acquittal of the Queen. About one-third of the houses were not lighted. Several had one candle each, to . +thew their esti►uate of the Coronation of oat of the Royal pairs. Many lighted up the whole panes of their windows, aLd then put out one half of their lights. Of the different designs which were exhibited, if they may bear that nann y few are deserving of being parti cularised. There were many had crowns (we do pot mean counterfeit coins) G. lt.'s in abundance—a few stars—here and there a Coronation Scene (we presume on the Paiuter's intention) a great paucity of mottoes or Legends; and various equivocal transparencies,where we least expected to find them. A grocer in the Bull Ring had a transparency, having in woe department the Cross and the Crosier, at cross purposes—surmounted by a Mitre; in another depart went, intersected swords, like dross kuires (Heaven overt the bail huh of such symbols!) Between these quarrelso.ue emblems was a portrait of the King - . There were many other libellous likenesses of the King. The design at the Albion was simple and splen• did : a Crown and ti. It. in lamps—between which was a good figure of his :Majesty. The Bank in Cherry street, the George, the Hen and Chickens, the rival Sil versmiths, in New-street, the Festoons of Lamps in Pa radise-street, the Hotel, fee. &c. were brilliantly lighted. Lovell's News Room had the Crown reposing on Mag na Charts: and pillar of Bill of Rights. We do not unJerstand the aptitude of placing a figure of the King under a suspended Crown of buring oil!—unless in in timation that it was a burning shame to be thus crown ed, to the exclusion of this lawful Consort. Cornuco pias, three or four in a picture (plenty of them) very classically indicated that abundance which Lord Liver pool states to be the cause of our distress. In Dighetls there was a pod transparence, with 0. it. and C. K. with the Duke of Brunswick. In Queen street was another with " 6od save the Queen." There acre many other similar evasions of the intent of the illumination. ,► number of Mannfactors dined their men at their respective manufactories. Large masses of people, during the night, traversed the streets, trying the Queen! the Queen ! and chorus ed this cry with a marked vehemence opposite the Os setic Office—the lien and Chickens, &c., and the pub- 1 wind seemed to be in that state of excitement which a spark might have ignited, and produced the most dan gerous excesses. Fortunately, however, all passed off quiets ; and we may, therefore, expect a laboured de scription of happy and unanimous loyalty, in the Ultra Prints. On the termination of the night, the public wind collapsed into that mandin tranquillity, which de notes more truly than any violence, the depression o' trade and of public spirit. Early in the evening a Troubadour ani his Female Friend, attended opposite the Principal Inns, playing, with the slid instruments of the Improvisatore. " Scots wha hae wi Wallace bled!" The populace cheered in response•, with 3 times 3 for the Queen! A (?rand Fancy Dress Ball is announced at the Theatre, for Tuesday. of which we shall give some account next week. At the Dinner at ate Hotel, (Isaac Spooner, Esq. in the Chair.) Mr. Vandenhoff recited some well written Verses by the nee. Hann Kennedy. Two beautiful snaff-bozes, by Birnsiughain Artists, were pieunterl to the Chairumus. WOLVlRUtaarroht.—Tbe Coronation has altogether gone off flatly here—spontaneous loyalty ; but every one engaged in the shew, loyalty performed his part as formally as be would at a funeral. There was no waste of gun-powder ; no fin-works, no fire-arms beard ; no illuatination—scarcely a smoker to " startle ; , - the ear of night." A large party <l, and the poor were regaled at the p as fax as a good dinner will satisfy , eatisfied. To eke**. the seamy parade -of a few oi the inhabitants, the Blue Coat charity children walked in prlcesson to church, gnarded by a Isnisll troop of Yeomanry Cavalry. On the return of the cavalcade from church, " Clod save the King" was.performed by a hired hand of mush inns, when an effort was inane to raise the huzza! at which—some followers—hurled off their raps; " some ten voices" joined in the feeble shout!!! No means conld have made the cause a po: paler one. 'there is a strong sense of injustice per vades the people in tfais country, in relation to this national ceremonial, on the exclusion of the Queen from her station : and what they do in it, has all the cold movement of military discipline. Early in the day the people began to cry " the Qom, the (tricot! for ever, etc." when a freak of one of the Dudly Caval ry for a moment endangered the peace of the town ! There are a few broken panes, and some casualties. The notion of making John Bull drunk, to drown all his sense of right and justice, was well applied. latvearoot..—The interest excited in this town and neighbourhood, by the appointment of a day for the long-expected coronation, was consiilerably enhanced by combining with it the local and interesting cere molly of opening one of the finest (loan which orna ments any town in the world. Preparaittis ► were ola foot for some weeks, but towards the a ppointed day.l which promised a general festival; (for, those whose political opinions urged them to condemn the expetcAve pageant of the coronation, were, at least, pleased, to. celebrate the opening of a magnificent basin for the more substantial purposes of commerce) especially during the last few days, worl - men were busilyetuployed, even until dark. The morning . of yesterday was ushered in by the firing of guns, and the riuging of hero" and many flags were hung out from the different club-houses of the Beneficial and Tradesmen's Societies, the churches, warehouses, and some private houses. Some of the flags were new, and appropriate for the isolated corona tion of the King, but several bore the name of her Majesty " Queen Caroline," though none of that de scription dignified the procession. The morning was a scene of bustle; and, between nine and ten o'clock, the differeut societies, intending to join the procession met at their respective houses of resort. and proceeded in bodies to the Prince's Dock, whence the grand pro cession, was to commence. The whole appeared on the ground by half-past eleven, and formed a broad and compact belt round that extensive sheet of water the length of which is 1300 feet. The scene which now presented itself was striking. The operative MO* I ehanics and tradesmen of the town, united with a.' Light Horse and several companies of a regular Regi ment, backed by the mass of the male inhabitants of the town, from die highest to the lowest, and richly spangled with the gems of female beauty, all arrayed iu their best apparel, and in numbers exceeding the adult population of the town itself, perhaps 80,000 individuals—surrounding in immense basin, where hi therto nothing but a solitary buoy had floated—to behold it receive upon its ample bosom, the beet of many thou sands of vessels, that shall waft to our shores the pro ducts and the wealth of other climes, even unto ago* when that gay multitude shall have all mouldered into dust—formed a spectacle, calculated to arouse at once feelings of pride and exultation and hope, in the inhabitants of a town that owes its prosperity and elevation to the daring of British seamen and the ots terprise of British merchants. At twelve o'clock, the gates were opeued, and seve ral boats entered, to fix ropes for the towing of the vessels into the dock. On the opening of the gates a royal salute was fired from some artillery planted on the north pier : the effect was greatly destroyed by the direction of the wind which carried the sound down the river. A considerable time elapsed before the tide rose sufficiently high to admit the entrance of a ship into the dock ; and the May, a Liverpool-built staunch West Indiamen, lay fur upwards of an hour in the basin, surrounded by many other vessels destined to follow, before she could be towed in. Soon after one o'clock a salute of nineteen suns was fired from the north pier, and the May, with her yards manned and Nags flying, was pulled into the dock amidst the , repeated cheers of the expectant multitude. Mr. Kent " rode the waters" before her, on his Marine Veloci pede, having attached to it a line by which he ap peared to tow her into the dock. She brought the dock trustees and a number of gentlemen. The next vessel that entered wa• the Majestic Steam-ship. After getting dear of the May she dashed onward to the end of the dock. Other vessels quickly followed. Im mediately in view were the different societies, com pletely surrounding the dock, in the order of proces sion, with their tia , t and banners gaily Boatiny in the summer breeze : of these we counted on one side tip wards of one hundred and fifty. The procession now commenced its route towards Dale-street, passing up Water-street, Dale•street, Shaw's Brow, Islington, Norton-street, Seymour-street, Russell-street,Chereswo street, Rodney-street. Duke-street, Shiterstreet, Bold street, Church•street, Lord-street, Castle-atreet. The romniittee of Management ; the different• corps, with their officers ; the Mayor's, and five private carriage! brought up the rear. It was nearly five o'clock when the procession again reached Dale-street, whence the different societies dispersed to their several club-rooms. To speak of the character, politically, which marked this day of splendour and exertion, we could say, that during the greater part of the time which was em ployed in the opening of the dock, the whole was un marked by any tincture of politics---all eyes being fixed, and all minds absorbed on the more worthy (be cause, of the tu•o. the only profitable) pageant, of opening the new dock fur the purposes of canmierce. With respect to the reception of the expensively ar rayed procession in the different quarters of the town through which it passed. it appeared to us to more along self cheered and self-elated, and altogether un marked by those hearty rounds of general applause and enthusiasm, which we have so often witnessed in the processions of the independent freemen of Livrr ' pool. In the evening the Worshipful the Mayor ►ave a grand dinner at the Town Hall, in his usual splendid style ; and a large party of gentlemen dined together at the Liverpool Arms Hotel. These, and a variety of dinners at various club-rounsa, crowned the festi vities of the day ; anti, as the evening closed, the streets were enlivened with cries of "the Queen," .6 t>te Qeora.** from hundreds of men who bad during the day maintained the most respectful silence as a mark of enineidenee le the objects of the splendid inEm.l T" - -••••w. P 3 vorif,.rolts and so hearty did the's^ loyalty to her Majesty become during 4ey proved no small annoyance to —veil whilst writing this narrative ; but inasmuch a• we sympathise in the feelings which elicited them, ne ate gratified in haying been ti►us constitutionally At Newcastle-upon-Tyne. the day was celebrated by a rowing match on the river, a fry de joie by the military on the Town Moor, a procession of the ma gistrates to St. Nicholas' Church, fs:c.• After divine service there the procession returned to the Guildhall, within which the King's health was drank; and when the Castle guns began to fire, an elegant new pant, which had been erected on the middle of the Sandhi'', began to run wine. This erection was very handsome, painted to resemble stone, with a copper dome, and surmounted with a full sized imperial crown, richly carved and gilt. The pipe was also gilt, with the Newcastle Arms shove it. We will not attempt to describe the struggles and the fun exhi bited here. One man clung so close to the spout, that all his clothes forsook him by piecemeal, before he was rolled away : a sailor amused his com panions by climbing up the pant and putting the crown upon his head, till the smell of the liquor brought him down ; several others who had got up in the precious fountain, tumbled, and one wan lay as though be was dead ; but we could nut ascertain whether he was really hurt. The pant was demolished when the wine ceased to flow. From the density of the crowd it was found impossible fot the military to firie on the Sandhi'', as had been propo.ed, and therefore there was a grand brigade on the Moor only. The roasting of the Oxen at the Spital, and in the Old Flesh-market, took plate according to the pre vious arrangement ; imt the preparations for this part of the entertainment afforded more gratification to the curiosity of the minierous visitants, who repaired be forehand to inspect them, than to the parties who were intended to benefit by their operation. The erec tion of the fire-places, of the platforms to cut up the beasts upon, the contrivances of the spits, and the cranes to lift them, promised an extraordinary treat ; but from the unskilfulness of the cooks, the event was not equal to the expectation. The fires were either lighted too soon, or were too violent ; for, according to report, the oxen were ready by six o'clock in the morning instead of twelve at noon, and consequently bad to remain six hours hanging between the embers. When they sere hoisted upon the tables, the outside appearance was nut very inviting, being black and ap parently burnt to a cinder ; anti after a number of well-dressed carvers had begun to cut into them, and distribute the steaks among the crowd, it was found that outside appearances in dishes of this size are not to be trusted to,—for much of the meat was still raw ! In consequence, the carvers in the flesh-market, were pelted with their own portion , . and after some time, were glad to make their retreat, being assaulted with the bricks front the erection, and other missiles. The crown of the ox, which had been placed on the top of the crane, was battered down, and a printed paper about the Queen fixed in its place. The mob after wards pulled down the pump, tore up the pipes that conveyed the beer to it, and committed several other outrages, but still good humour was dcpieted in al most every countenance, and the attackers were pelted in their turn. At the Spital, things were managed better. The beef was distil ihuted without any inter ruption, save the numerous applicants for a slice, and the scene afforded much amusement to the spectators who were assembled un the terrace, town's walls, and scaffoldings erected fur the occasion. The ale from the pant continued to run fur a considerable time, but much of it was wasted in fun. The ale pant at Sand gate, performed its office with slue reputation. titbit WATER AT Lovons,-Kataaa TO-MORROW. Morning 40 m. after 19.--Evening 19 tn. after 11.

LONDON: TUESDAY E'VrNINO, JULY 24, 1821. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The panic which took place yesterday in the Funds seems to have subsided this ►►►orning, as the various reports then in circulation are now discredited. The Jew party purchased to a large amount yesterday. The market is to all appearance getting up. Consols opened this morning' at 751 76. Paris papers to the 2.2 d instant arrived this morning. On Thursday, the King honoured the Duchess of Hamilton with an audience. It is annonuced that preparations are making for the Coronation of his 11ajesty Louis XVIII. An article from Vienna, dated July 10, says, that the Ottoman Porte having thought fit to recal the Charger d'Affai red, who had been ac credited to the Courts of Austria, France, and Eng land, having also resolved henceforth to maintain its political relations by Ambassadors, M. Jean Mauro jeni, who, for more than ten years, had discharged in such au honourable manner Ow functions of Charge d'Affaires from the Porte, has communicated the Sth of this month, the letters of recal to his Excellency Prince Metternich, the grand Chancellor . It is asserted that Prince Yeetcarcrt is arrived on the frontiers of Transylvania, with some hundreds of He terists ; that he had waited at Hermandstadt, and that the Austrian government had been disposed from humanity to allow entrance into Transylvania to the lieterists who presented theu:selves without anns on the frontiers of that province. but that it had ►efused it to die fugitive Araauts, Albastiaas and Walachian'.

The Faris papers to the 21st are very brief as usual in their intelligence relative to France. One of them, however, gives a piece of news from which we learn a little of the state of political feeling in the capital. It states, that on Thursday several lithographic prints were seized at the printshops,representing subjects relat'iag to the death and tomb of Bonaparte. The Chamber of Peen, on Thursday, referred the Project for continuing the Censure on the Journals to a Special Committee. The Deputies have not yet got through the Budget. Ac cording to these papers a new conspiracy has just been discovered in Murcia, and the number of attests to which it has led is considerable. The conspiracy too which was on the point of breaking out in west Prus. sia, is also said to have gives rise to some arrests, chiefly at Bomberg. The most important article in these journals is the announcement from the frontiers of 31oldavia, that the Russian troops have entered that territory, and that they have had several engage ments with the Turkish forces,the details of which had not come to hand previously to the departure of the icourier. The Austrian Observer which has arrived to the I I th instant, represents the Greek insurgents of Wala chia in the last stage of wretchedness and despair.— On the authority of letters from Bucharest, " worthy of cred;t," the following intelligence is given : " A letter from the Greek camp has been received here, addressed by the Insurgents to the Turkish Governor in which they beg for an amnesty, and declare them* selves ready, in case it ehoald be granted, to return to obedience, from which they have been led astray by Ypsilanti's delusive intrigues and seducing promises.'-- The Kiaja of the Pacha immediately gave orders Where proclamations every where made, that the amnesty re quired should be give■ to all insurgents who far dowa their anus and return to obedience." This account is chiefly of importance as hew that of the Vienna Official journal, and as manifesting die views and wishes of the Austrian Government respect. ing the Greek cause. The same Journal bas already published some contradictory accounts of victories, as well as defeats, of the Greeks, which turned out to be not only false but fabricated. A partisan of the Greek cause who corresponds with a Paris Paper, gi►e the Austrian Observer the " lie direct," and charges that Journal with knowingly confounding Prince Nicho las Ypsilanti, a youth commanding only 4000 men. (who, iu fact, was defeated) with his brother Alexander, the Commander in Chief, who, so far from a defeat, had obtained a victory, which the Austrian paper suppressed. In opposition to the opinion that prevails both is England and France, of Rossi* having prepared or commenced hostilities agaist Turkey, the following article appears in the Angsburg Gazette, dated Vienna, July 9, " The fears which hare been excited that a war was about to commence between Russia and the Porte—a war, the consequences of which could not be foreseen, and whith might have destroyed the union so happily existin' between the principal Powers of Europe, are now calmed. It is said that Russia and England have offered themselves as mediators between the Greeks and the Porte." Portuguese Papers have also arrived. They furnish us with the instructions of hie Most Faithful Majesty relative to the Government of the Brazils. After stating that the Prince Royal, acting as Re gent, is invested with all the powers of Sovereignty the document thus proceeds : " In the unfortunate and unhappy event (which God avert) of the death of the Prince Royal, the Repel of the kingdom of Brazil shall immediately devolreeo the Princess Royal. his Consort. my much beloved daughter in-law, who shall govern with a Council et Regency, consisting of the Minister of State, the Se cretaries of State for the Departments of War and Ma rine, the President of the Privy Council and the Chief Judge; the Senior Minister of State shall be President of this Council, and this Regency shall have the same powers and authority as were enjoyed by the Prince I& gent." New York Papers arrived this morning to the 161 11 of June, from which we extract the following : [Farm Tag PAPU OI THZ 230 OF JUNE.] BOSTON, Jura 21.—Arrival of the Macedonia United States frigate at this port yesterday, in thirty seven days from Rio Janeiro, and ninety-three from Valparaiso.
