- V PRO VA ,NCIAL CELRBRATIONS OF THE CORO NATION. •.-00.-- Ex*Trit.—The Coronation of his Majesty was celebrated in this city, as in most other places by a• appearance of general rejoicing, the poor of the dif ferent parishes having been regaled with meat, bread, beer, cider, &c. raised by contribution. Whatever may be the real sentiments of an extensive population, realty of whom neutrally are in the most needy circumstances, the gratuitous distribution of food is an argument too powerful--an inducement too great, to be withstood ; it may therefore be said there were but few individuals who did not share in the fes tivities of the day, and business was almost suspended. The morn was ushered in by the ringing of belle; and at half-past eleven the Right Worshipful the Mayor, accompanied by a great number of the respectab'e in habitants, charity schools, &c. assembled at St. John's Hosidtal, from whence they proceeded to the Cathe dral, preceileJ by the Blue School Boys, Trade Incor porations, with their banners, &c. A dinner at the new Subscription Rooms ensued, and a ball followed ; and in the evening, there was a display of fireworks in St. Peter's yard. A few per sons attended to witness the exhibition, it was con ducted with great order, and had a pleasing effect. The illuminaffon, though extremely partial (for we cannot average that more than one house out of twenty was lighted up) presented a few neat transparencies and appropriate inscriptioff. The parish of St. Sid well's, which was partietTerly conspicuous in their ...demonstrations of joy on the acquittal of j coy, • presented, on this evening, a gloomy ap , three houses only being illuminated. wever, did not fail, in the early part of the days to exert his 'ewers upon them—they indulged in copious libations, and created much merriment among their neighbours and friends ; but it is necessary to remark that no dis turbance arose during the whole of the day, as had been anticipated by many of those who professed them selves the most ardent admirers and strenuous sup porters of the King. On this, as on every occasion of public rejoicing, those dreadful creatures, the friend, of the giseett, have proved themselves, not only her friends, hut the friends of genuine loyalty, good hu mour, and peace. At Truro the Yeomanry Cavalry had a field d.ty, and tired several vollies. The Corporation and gen tlemen of tl:e Borough of Truro caused a quantity of beef to he distributed to the poor, about IMO in num ber: and in the parish of Kenwys a public subscrip tion was raised which provided a comfortable dinner for several hundred persons, uho were seated at tabl"s spread in a field near Lemon-street, where they were abundantly supplied with beef, pudding and beer. At four o'clock, a number of lientlemen and most of the principal tradesmen sat down to a sumptuous dinner at the Red Lion Hotel, the Mayor in the chair. The shops throughout the town were shut, bands of music paraded the streets, and the day was kept as a national festival. The only drawback that was felt on the oc casion arose from the consideration of the treatment ... experienced by her Majesty the Queen, and the anxiety generally expressed respecting the result of her being '• prevented sy force from witnessing the ceremony of the coronation. We leers that a respectable tradesman of Wolver -1 hampton, has been examined before a 111a.,, t istrate, for s% hat is termed " seditious cries" on the night of 1 'I harsday. The person in question is not a party-loan. The Drunken Clues who sanied from their bottles, and madly provoked the people, ought to have been committed for a hint. At Litchfield the people dined from a suite of tables, extending down 14 :Ir-street, from the Talbot to the ; all went off in peace and good fellowship with many expressed, but more amppressed good wishes for the Q. tern. The Tevius of Walsall, Bilston, Stourbridge, glerminver (1 town decidedly friendly to the Queen) Broms.-ro% 0, Warwick, and Coventry, observed the dty with the good old English virtues, charity and hospitality. In celebration of the Coronation at Shrewsbury, the Coronation Medals were exchanged by the proi.le who walked in the Procession, for those of the • Princess Charlotte,' has ing a C. overshadowed by a willow : motto, " England mourns live. Princess!" At L:nets the Coronation day was celebrated in a singular manner. All the tradesmen kept their shops shut, and 'natty of them went to see the festivities at Brighton. A subscription dinner was provided for the poor of one parish, St. Ann's, the smallest parish in the town ; and a public dinner, at which the prin e/pal inhabitants assembled, was held a day or tuu afterwards. FAWN IX IRELAND. WITH AN OR It; IN /11. AN EC DOTE ON THE SUBJECT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN. SlR—The contempt in which the I rish hold ,'ltcrory honours is incredible, and is to me most unaccountable, when I consider their universal quickness of capacity. You will scarcely believe it, but it is nevertheless a fact, that to be an atrestnn there, is to be a Bile for almost every creatti:r that knows him; and I need not tell you the talent lie Irish have for ridicule. The momenta man publishes a line, be the subject what it may, he is in derision called a " POET," and is thenceforward considered as crazy. So it is that men of the most transeendsnt talents, of the most brilliant wit, of the most finished education never think of rrritio;r. So it is that what ought to adorn the study or the library, what ought to entitle its author to a garland or a sta tue, evaporates in convivial conversations, and that perhaps in the society, not of the ignorant and vulgar only, but of the satyrical and vicious. Disgusted, restless and languishing for laurels, those unfortunate children of grinds, preferring mental to bodily grati tication ; preferring even the inhospitality of English eicili:ation, to abundance and obscurity at home, come to London to be admired cud starred. • Notwithstanding such is generally the fate of geouis in Ireland, there is not a spot on earth where there is to be found more select and elegant society than there; but certainly this class of society is as dis tinguished from the larger class I have at first alluded to, as is the parterre from the pasture, the shrubbery from the heath, or as is the silvery lake from the muddy bog. The great misfortune of all Irish GINTLIMAN in England is, that all classes of his countrymen are 'AN it... . Lord Mr. James's Fleur-de-Lis Won by a neck. ti to 4on Augusta-8 to 4 asst Adolphus.

Jobs Shorter was capitally iudizted for violating the pc: son of Eliza tiodfrey o a child not more than 11 years of age, in tee month of February last. in Great 0r- . ~'"- • 7 ~.:~ ouond-street. The nature of the charge precludes our giving it in detail. The prisoner bad subsequently offered first V. and afterwards 101. to hush up the matter, bat the offer had been refused. It appeared ib crost -elimination that the witness bad gone to school afterwards, and bad not made any men tion of the circumstance until pweek afterwards, when she told it to one of her school-fellows. Her mother was not made acquainted with it until three months afterwards. Witness said that dnring the commission of the crime she cried out several times. The prisoner left his defence to the Counsel. Mrs. Young, of Creat Ormond-street, deposed that she lived ;II a room over the stable where the crime was stated to have been committed, and that she bad not heard any cries ors the morning mentioned in the in ilictineht. She thought that she mu-lt have heard tit.: cries had they been uttered. Another witness was called, tor the purpose of detail ing a conversation said to have been held between one of the witnesses for the prosecution and a Mrs. Chitty, in which the farmer was reported to have said that the store of the child was all a d—d lie. The testimonv of this witness fell short of the purpose for which he wa.. called. Mr. Justice Ocaltorntoe summed up the evidence, and remarked upon the different features of the ease. Ho particularly noticed the circumstance of the child having neglected to mention the violenceoffered to her antitumor: time afterwards. From the time of Lord Hale until the present day, the greatest Lawyers had always held, that if it appeared that the female had not made complaint within a short time after the violence s e as committed, it was the dnty of Juries on so setious a charge, to acquit the prisoner, especially as the prisoner was always put to great difficulty in repelling the charge, after a great length of time bad beeu suffered to elapse. The Jury retirild, and upon their return pronounced verdict of—Not Guilty. ~ A Court of Common Council, convened in conse quence of a Requisition to the Lord Mayor, will be held at Guildhall to-morrow, at twelve o'clock, to con sider the important subject relative to the alteration or rebuilding of London Bridge. WARD or BASSIIIBAW.—A Wardenote for the Kler. tion of a Common Councilman in the room of Mr. 1 7 rushy, the late Deputy, was yesterday held before Alderman Sir C. S. Hunter, Bart. at the Wisitg. Bear Inn, Liasing• hall-street, in pursuance of a fresh precept directed by the Court of Aldermen, who had declared the former Election void. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Lister, the ear difiates on the former Election, were again pnt in no mination; and a chew of holds being taken, there appeared a large majority in favour of Mr. Hughes. A P.. 11 was demanded, at the close of which the num bers were declared as follow ; For Mr. Henry Hughes - 11 Mr. William !Aster - - ti The Poll continues open for •$ hone, viz. from 12 to 1, this day and to-morrow, when it finally closes.

STOCK EXCILINGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Though this day is a holiday at the Bank, the Stock Exchange is open. Business, this morning, began under mu' :h depression, Consols being under yesterday's price. This is supposed to be ing to the report of the Russian Ambassador at Constantinople being sent to the Seven Towers, In consequence of the want of the valuable vehicles of intelligence, by which the rest of Europe have be come enlightened and improved, we are downed to re main in ignorance or in doubt, with respect to the ac tual state of tlaiugs in Greece and Turkey. The origi nal communications we receive from thosecountries are by means cf letters, which partake of the private pre judices and contracted views of the writers : and the articles which we• copy from the journals of Germany and France are previously manufactured to suit the political designs of the parties by whom they are cir culated. While the hearty wishes of the people of the continent are accompanying the efforts of the Greeks; the pledges which the Cabinets have given to discoun tenance insurrection against legitimate governmenle must constrain them to support the authority of the Turks. Never could an opportunity be conceived rah favourable to the design which CATHZRINE of Russia had so fondly cherished of obtaining the possessioa of Constantinople ; but the ties of the Holy Alliance prove now an unfortunate bar, and the success of the Greek Insurgents mieht reanimate the spirit of the Italians, who are galled and mortified by an Austrian yoke. Can it be possible that the injuries committed by the Turkish power on the property of the Russian natives, or the insults offered to the Russian Government in the person of its Ambassador, will have the power, when combined with other considerations, of absolving the Autocrat from the neutrality to which he bad been hound, and of provolsing him to hostile measures against the Porte? From certain symptoms width seem to halm taken place, we are disposed to believe such a circumstance is deemed not only possi ble but probable. There manifestly appears much military as well as diplomatic activity on the part of the cabinets of Vienna and Berlin. The force of both has been strengthening on the Turkish side, and, though with all the professions of neutrality which are usual on an occasion like the present, with very evi dent anxieties respecting the designs of their Impe rial Ally. As to the force of Russia, it is stated that on the side of Odessa, General Count Wittgenstein has under his command about 120,000 effective men. and on the banks of the Borysthenee, and of the Mein*, an army of reserve was forming of 100,000 men. With such a force at such a crisis, and combined with such ambition as is imputed to the Russian cabinet, it is impossible for the Governments of Austria, Prussia, or even England to be at ease. Independent of the greater facilities afforded to English commerce in the' Levant from the power that roles at present, time could be expected from its probable successor, it is ex pedient for the security of still higher British interests that Constantinople should mantis*e in the occupation of the Turks. 'ibis constitutes on the side of Europe the strongest guarantee door cessation with India. Nat A - a•sidnously have the Russians for a considerable time been cultivating a commercial intercourse with China, and incessant have been their efforts hot!. by intrigue and war to obtain a path through Persia to Hindostan ; and it can never happen that the Russian GotTrument can take measures for driving the Turks out of Europe, without the most strenuous opposition from the Govern ment of Great Britain. On this account the reports of remonstrances to that effect, which have of late been prevalent in foreign papers, are bizbly probable ; and the belief that these remonstrances have proved avail ing 'nay have dissipated the alarm that existed for • few days past among the speculators in the funds. — Whatever intelligence commercial men may have re ceived with respect to any leading occurrence, the public are still left to conjecture. The statement relative to Baron Strogunoff being shut up in the Se ven Towers, is not confined to one or two of the French papers, but still must be received with caution ; as must likewise the repot t of the Russian Emperor, hav ing accepted tl:e office proposed to him by the Greek Convention of Protector of the Insurgent provinces.— The accounts through the French papers of the suc cess of the Greek fleet against thit of the Turks, is slid to be Greatly exaggerated. By letters from Wessa, of the 26th ult., it appears that a Tll:kish two decker, rue of the fleet, iu retreating front Tenedos, ran ashore and was burnt, that it might not fall into the hands of the Greeks. The Greeks have taken many small Turkish vessels and have massacred the crews, so that the warfare is horrible on both sides. — General Count WITTGENSTEIN, Commander in Chief of the Southern Itnssian Army, arrived at Odessa on the 21st Jane. Ile said that he would be at Constan tinople within two maths—but thou,lt be is a good Officer, the rapidity of his march is doubted, as the Rusii tns hitherto have nuvtr been able to peuetra:e the Bulgarian mountains. 3!r.
