The trunks of all the trees about and a.ljscent to the banks vere hung with variegated lamps, grotesque Chinese lanterns, handsomely painted, and under them, in every direction, were (sterner! dancing parties of well dressed . persons, and music was beard in every one of these illuminated groves. The effect prodneed by this illumination of the river atwl the lark from one end to the other, the general mirth and joy, was equal to am• thing that tonitl he imagired of the most splendid and well rc,rulate.l carnival. At the opening which is formed by the trees on the north side of the river, and on an area jottliciously chosen to command all parts of the Park•, was made in the evening a display of fire-works which were beyond any thing we ever witnessed of the kind before. A connterstlisplay was made on the side of the river towards Kensington. The imitations of thun der and lightning with echo front the opposite side, was particularly greed : as were several discharges that were made of varionsic coloured game. 1/n the river seve ral pyrotechnic displays were also made. The boats, whirl► rade np and down majestically, were ornamented niche eloinese lanterns and illuminated lamps; hot the greatest addition to the scene was a grand illuminated ear, filled with musicians, and drawn by two elephants, sriendirlly arisoned as large as life. PI the side of tl:.•rrr were placed attendints, with Indian lanterns, and the whole being brilliantly illuminated, was towed round the l r ►nks of the river by some illuminated boats. The Wee:s of this cur, with the eleihants 1110 A ing with ma. j-sty upon the surface of the ricer, nil!, the music and banrers, was particularly novel, aril called forth great applanse. An immense assemblage of persons remained in the Park the whole of the night. 111Vnit THAMES. .".• early as two o'clock yesterday morning, the several tap7troaches to the River, presented scenes of the gre4trst hnstle, and, in some parts, much confusion, arising from tL. eagerness of parties to be foremost in getting on 1.. , ar.1 their boats: and by slay-break the River swarmed uith boats anti barges, tastefully tier oraeal, and princi pal,- f i lled with eb.gantly.tlrt , sed females, which have the whole an appe::ratice hiAly interesting. About six o'cloeli the Lord M.:yor, keing met by the ('its Alder qs ,t.,. iren, in their searl-t c!oal;, embarked at Intel:friars% to , ir., in his Lorth!tip's state barge, which was .., .pintll,ily ornamented with eag,s and streasners, • 4..- - ntl the boatmen I...cre dressed in superb state live ries.) The 3layor and ('orporation of Oxford ae ct+mrtiivil his Lordship, and the barge was towed up the river by the " London" steam boat, as the title was ebbing with great force, and, it was apprehended, 5v0.11.1 prevent their arriving in time. The parties, /aving partake:, of an eiegant breakfast on board, wt rc landed at the 'tot of the Speaker's Garden, where a sentpnrstry stairs were formed, for the c tnvenience of the Royal barges, carrying the Oflics.rs yr State, &c. Tin barge containing the Barans of the l'ino,ue Ports followed shortly after, and, being obliged to near the etnre in c•onsininvvre of the rapidity 4;f the current, t' e gentlemen on board were saluted by persons holm l'‘.- lan , ' ti ith cries of " Queen ! ‘lneest !" anti other 1-ss etpli ‘ oral marks of ilkapprobati•m. In litre wan t rr. when the 'Barons were disembarking at Exchequer r•....... the crowd on Westminster-ltridge. and those in the h•.•tts below the Bridge, cheered, bisect!, and vitei ft•rare.l " Queen' Queen fur ever!"

There was no other occurrence tin the slyer deserving o; paric::lar notice, except the ap pl.:team e of the steam-boats, Diana. anti lontbri, so crowded w.th passengers, as to be nearly below their g.stowales in the water. '1 hey stopped for sonic time e7po.iti• the !limit, of Commons, and having, in answer to the person's on the bride, cheered for the Queen, roceeded ttp towards Bich:timid. A gill brig, po!acre t;7-eil, and covered with streamers, was moored off romerset Mouse, anti kept tiritig all tlit teusn one o'clork r the worninw, at intervals of an hour. The Thames . I?..licf boat was stationed immediately above Westmin s.t.r bridge, and parties were now anti then despatched f rest her in different directions, on the look nut. The iirmilit vigilance was alto) exerted by 34. Mashy, the Water Bailitf, and those under his orders. Happily, I.twever. nothing occurred in the slightest degree to interrupt the good oraer and harmony which prevailed Cr. every part of the river. THEATRICAL AMUSEMENTS. Ills 31iiestv having directed that the Theatres sliould Iwgratuihnuily opened to the public, the several at.. rakers. when they published his Majesty's commands.' intimated, that to prevent disturbances a sufficient nom her of tickets to fill the I;ouses would be issued at the rl'iferent Theatres from ten .1.11. till tu o I'. 31.—they :Licht have said from ten till eleven. Long before the ar!rointed hour the crowds assembled in attendance were immetler. the distribution was rapid. and numbers d the mortification of seeing or hearing the floors ant reading the vexatious placard of All the 'Tickets ire issued." The houses of course overflowed frvm the beginning of the evening : but l'N sanest was the favourite at least ten to one. Every part of this theatre was as c'osely crowded as it was possible to pack human beings. Of the re spectability of the company it may be unnecessary to azir any thing. The bundles of hats and bonnets a nd s'.awN suspended from the front of the dress boxes formed a very grotesque exhibition, and 111 s as much cvntrasted with the usual elegance of that circle as i usgination could have contrived it. The play was Ilenrds 11% and every incident or expression of broad humour or totted conceit was sufficiently applauded When the company on the stage sang " God save the ging," the shouts of " The Queen" were quite deaf ening. and the popularity of the amendment was testi fied by every specks of vociferous applause. Daunt-LAN r.—The crowd is this theatre was nei ther so nnenerons nor so well dressed. The play, " The Spectre Bridegroom," seemed to give them on bounded delight. The preference of a " sovereign to THE STATESMAN. a guinea" was cheered without interrnptlin. hue. too. 'tthe Queen" was shouted with great applause. Hatuannav-Totems—This new bonding was last night thrown open to the public, and was filled in every part by a decent and respectable assemblage of persons. The comedy of the Heir at taw was followed by the farce of the Agreeable Sarpaise ; and between the play and afterpiece the appropriate anthems of " Rafe Britannia," and "Godeace the lung," were, sung in full ehorui. LYCEL*3I.—The performances at this place of sum mer aninsements, w. re conducted on the Fame princi ple, and tvithunt interruption before a crowded au dience. 11.WMINATI0NS. Alt Mtn:libation in honour of the coronation yester day evening book ;dare throughout the metropolis. — In the eastern part of the town, it may he said, with one or two exceptiotis only, that they were neither ge neral nor brilliant. Very few tragsparencies we; e vi sible, am!, excepting that exhibited by Messrs. Minitel! and Bridge, are unetorthy of notice. The subject ct this transparf.nry, which was extremely well executed, was the coronation of his Majesty in the Abbey, and the Archbishop of Conterburc in the act of placing the crown on his Majesty's head. It was a very large one, and was surrounded with lamps of varions descrip tions. The traosparency was surmounted by a brilli ant crown, and the letters "U. it. IV." A handsome trans parency was exhibited at Messrs. Isherwood's, •f Lud gate-hill, his Ajesty's paper-hangvra. It represented Fame sopportin_ a shield with the arms of England ; his Majesty sui parted by Plenty and Commerce, with Time dictating to history the records of the...nation ; on the wings, liolires of Peace and liritsunia. There were some illumination on the lop of the Monument ; but the winl n•a‘ so high as to render the design nearly nnintelllgildr. The iilumirritions at the west end of the town were almost exelii-ircly confined to the principal-streets ; and we remarked that nearly all the houses which ex hibited lamps belonged to tradesmen serving either his Itlajesty orsome other member of the Royal Fa• wily. The Admiralty, the Horse-Oust-4s, tits Trea sury, sod the od o r Mitres in Parlisment-street, we, e very brilliantly iltnn.inatrd. In Pall•inall and St. James's-street, also, tha illumination was pre:ty gene ral. We do not think there were Italia dozen or houses besides those of the (Juke of Wellington and Lord Chancellor tlin !limited in Piccadilly, (ruin Eyde-park corner to the basin in the Green-pack. All the streets running to the right or left of Oxford-street were in almost talal darkness. Mr. Ackermann, Strand, exhibited a transparency in which the Kin arrived in the Royal robes, and holding a sceptre in his right hand, Is represented as about to ascend the car of regal state; while Minerva, in martial attire, arranges the reigns and places them in his Majesty's left hand. The car, in the antique style, is drawn by lions. Two angel., loivering above, place the Imperial Crown on his 3lajesty's bead ; the globe is presented to him by a third; while others are seen in front scattering flowers in his way. Peace, bearing the olive braneh, precedes the car, accompanied by the sister arts, Poetry, Painting, anti Musk, intlieated by their appr, , priate attri butes ; while Justiee, w ith her sword aqd scales, and charity, bind together and unite the whole. I u the rear is seen a triumphal arch, commemorative of the glorious victories n signali:ed the rcriod of the Regency; and through it appears in the distance the dome of St. Paul's. The acclamations of the assentlikl multitude hail his '.%tajesty's investitutle with the insignia ut roy alty, and express the joy of his faithful subjects at the happy event.

[FROM THE MORNING CHRONICLE.] Those who visited this scene in the expectation of witnessing a fine spectacle cannot certainly say that they were in any degree disappointed; for every thing that art could invent, or wealth could purchase, or judgment approve, appeared to hare been congregated for the pur pose of gratifying our views of magnificent exhibition. We cannot, indeed, imagine any thing of Asiatic splen dour, from even the most glowing descriptions of either history or poetry, with which this scene may not well be put in competition, and with advantage too from the su periority of taste which characterised the tent eIUCSMIsIe at Westminster Hall. In whatever direction we turned onr eye our admiration could not fail to be excited. If towards the non'', when the great gate was opened, our mind was filled with the highest notion of military pomp; if towards the south, we were struck with the sublime simplicity of the Throne, on each side of which there was an immense collection of gold plate, while on each side of the spacious Hall, the beaches were filled and delicate.
