1111 -•:1 ~~ inismom MI I IP! GRAND CORONATION FETE. name Park, the beautiful mat of Miss Waitelsm, was en Wednesday Imt the scene of the most splendid festival that has for many years been witnessed in this county.— Resides the general invitation, which appeared in our last, a vast number of cards hr.! bete issued to the Nobility and Gentry of the neighbourhood; and no pains were spared to prepare fur them, and for the peasantry of the surrounding country, the most delightful entertainment and amusements. Till uue o'clock the incessant rain prevented the thousands, who were eager to proceed to the charming spot, from Ins. truing thither; but in spite of the weather a large crowd ..an already asembled to Mew the ox, which bad been put to roast al a large fire on the lawn at twelve o'clock the pre- ceding night, and to see the various preparation, which were cmrying on fur the accommodation of the assembly. Ta bles, capable of holding some hundreds of persons, were laid out mewls the green on etch side of the principal en trance to the house, unilerawnings ; others were spread un . _ der elegant marquees; some in bUotha, &c. About this time the arrival of the Earl of Illacclestield, Lord Lieutenant of or Comity,' was the signal for the commencement of the 'ports. A party proceeded with bats and cricket balls to play a match on the spol appointed fur them. The ox, which 111, now most adintrably dressed, was taken from the spit with slue solemnity, the bands playing, and banners with mottos suitable to the occasion flying in the gayest colours moiled, and was then carried in procession to the platform which had been erected in the centre of the grounds, and cut up for the different tables. Some of the dishes were with the same solemnity taken into the mansion, and pre treated to the lady of the feast. Those who were invited of the respectable 'entreaty and inhabitants of the metority, as well as the peasantry, now sat down to a plentiful meat; after which they gave way to the indiscriminate multitude, who, upon the grounds bring thrown opera to them, rushed in and scrambled for the ►emaining viands. Strong beer was briskly distributed during the day, from sixty butts plated in different parts of the park, and at short in tervals, baskete of loaves were thrown amusigat the crowd. So late as twelve o'clock at night • supply of beer was trot to the multitude, who still remained to view the illumination. It wan gratifying to observe the good humour mid orderly behaviour of the immeinie assemblage : riot the least disposition to riot ur mischief masifested itself during the whole of the day, nor was the least interruption given to the exc.llent usaungenrent of Mr. J. rane, *hose wonderful titertions for the eutertaiument of the company Isere clowned with drs•rved success The visitors iu the elitism were now ushered into the dining-room, mod Itimouted with the kind attentions of the hostess during a magnificent repast. All were now prepared to enjoy the splendid spec tacle. In the centre of the lawn was laid out • ring for the . performance of feats of Isorsemnoship by a troop from Lnu don ; and cot a little merriment was excited among those, much the greatest part, to whom the scene was a novelty, by the loilirroos exhibition of !be mooted tailor In another • part a wily-dressi 41 female was performing on theslack wire : and here anti there were croft!). of peasants laughing at the ruisrrels of Peach and hie wife.ludy After a well-contes td pony race asf three heats, in which the first won a saddle, and the second a bridle, Dewey& cast horses were entered to start on the gallop for a plate of four pounds. This race was highly amustitg. Large brawny riders in smock frocks, with long cast-whips in their bandit, used all their antics to pot their tiara in full pried, mid when their trot was converted into a doubtful gallop. the jingling of their b and the elompering of their clumsy feet raised bursts of laughter all g the merry crowd. To this succeeded catching live eel, in a tub of water with the month—to ise a user of shoes: a jingling malcb—blinelfulded pimento catch a person running among them with bells—prize • pair of leather breeches : grinning through a horse collar—"elm frightfidrat grinner to be the wiamuer"—of a coloured haodkerchief, &c, '1 he evening came on before one.half of the sports inteeded had time to he gone through, and the greatest exertions were now made tee arrange and light or tier lamps prepared fo the alumina lion of the whole Camille of the noble mansion ; and err- I Body nothing ever exceeded the brilliancy of this costly ex khition. Leery window WAS marked iie the mos t wigwam colours, the last on each side being tastefully hung only its green, and au shading of with the neighlionring plants. The front of the edifice sheeed the classic imbibed/ace of loigo Jones, having over the centre a crams, in whitey / pee., and yellow lamp., under which was G. IV. R. with a wreath above. nod on .arts side a sprig of laurel. On the right wing was the motto, " Long lies she King;" no tits Wt. " Lordly guides us." The flight of steps leading to the grand entrance was adorned with festoons atirmounted with moose', and produced the most enchanting I Met. At n'e'e o'clock a discharge of guns antwoomd the commence ment of the fire-work.. At this moment several waggons •rrireel at the front of the mission, filled w:th the wives and daughters of Miss Wykehanes teunutry, elevated in their vette customer, soil they plot-motet, to the apartments witch had been fitted up in the most charming style for their re. motion, where they soon commenced dancing to the excel . leot music in attradaace. The most attractive sight was the room in which a superb capper had been laid out for them, and during their repast the sateen visitors were highly gratified with Ilse view of the merry scene. In the mean time the most skilful display of fire-works was exhibiting in front of the house, and in spite of the dampness of the air, time most brilliant effect was pro !need by sky rockets, blue and red Grecian fire, wheels with various devices; and lastly, by a splendid crown, lee. g o r e eop o ntline with the Orme on the front of the house, shod appearing to be as impression of it made in the hasty • air. After the united bands had played as a finale, and with the most vivid express-oats of ebullient lomilty, the beauti ful tone which thrills to the heart su our national anthem, the prasautry out of doors retired iu the moat peaceabt• and contented Muller, thankful to the princely pato:inns of' this charming festal for the magnificent treat she had afforded them. The WWWWVOUS company within were conducted to so elegant supper, consisting of the must delicate Mande and the finest (rattail( lice season. Miss Wylie:haus Hien led off the hall, and inspired the glee of Terpsichore into the ins rtimit amateurs of the light fantastic hip. TWO' must ele gant and delightful of amusements ens continued to a late Door; nor did the dawn of the approaching day weigh down lbe eyelids of the cheerful troop, fur 'rhea we forced ourselves s a ge from the captivating scene, long after Phtzbus had darted his first rays, the dance was still going oil with una teed vigour. OS reflecting upon the occurrences of this most festive day, cc cannot express the admiration which we feel at the Memos and uninterrupted joy toed perfect good humour of the immense body of pcasautry, and all ranks of spectators, who enjoyed the hospitality of the noble patroness. Within tn.. house she appeared every where, convening courteously woo' those *mond her, and most eundesceudingly uoticing those of the moots who had nut the honour to be of her acqu•intsisee. The humidity of the weather did not prevent beer from gratifying the assembly on the lawn with her ocean *tonal visits, and her presence on the platform during the earl horse ram was cheered with ragtime by the admiring crowd. Mr. J. Face was indefatigable during the whole of the day in superintending the execution of his well-concerted plans, go o hew up the Print of the amusemeuot to its tighest pits h. His able insistent, Captain Ketce, was most diligent in attending to the management of the pollee, sit the head of which were Taunton, (rum London, amid Smith, thorn Oxford. The light fingered gentry, whose resort to such a seene is a matter of course, found themselves baled in their schemes by these intelligtot officers, and perfect good order was preserved. Mr. G. Cooke, of Wallington, so well known for his acti vity o ' the contested county election, displayed equal skill dunes , the Elting up mot the display of this charming (easi est ; and had the weather permitted, we hear that some ex hibitions, el fretert, spriogusg from his fertile mind, would have been added to the sports of the day. We have too heard that the smallest damage was done to the trees or flowing of the Park, and its generous °Wear, has the saes fart to hare afforded a magnificent treat to her 'Neighbours for miles and notes In every direction, without the least toterr•poton to its harm o ny, and to the increase of that hometown which she only seemed to feel iu propos tom so the contentment mot joy of those around her. Among she company were, the Earl and Comoros of Mac eleield.

The 10th regiment of foot, commanded by Lieut -Colonel Stewart, embarked on Saturday at Portsmouth in two trans poeie, fur Plymouth, to relieve the 3.1 regiment of goarda, ordered to Ch4thltn. The 15ill regiment of foot, from Cum berland Furl, *lkea the duty. Friday arribed at Portsmouth lb. Leedom transport, Lieut. A. klmeilonald, Art iit, in thirty day. from Gibraltar, with two comp:wire of the royal artillery, and a few dis tressed Britiab subjects on board. THE LONDON MARKET. We understand that a respectable body of landed pro prietors, a. a means of twisting their truants, have agreed by solrarription to support an establishment of light caravan., principally to supply the London markets with fresh huller, &r. from the dairy farms seamed wear the roads trifling from Exeter and Taunton to London. The plan is arranged to cutlery such goods into msrkrt as quickly as those from Buckingham end Canthridgethire; which, from their fresh ness, command a superior price to those sent salted (ruin Devon, Dorset, and Somerset, where the value is greatly reduced by the competition with Dutch and other salt butter. The establishment, it is evident, must materially !wadi! the dairy farms, sow sadly dist d, and become croerally useful to trade by a quicker and cheap transfer of goods. COURTS OF COO SRieV,iNCY FOR THE COUNTIES or SURREY ♦.\D MIDDLESEX On Friday these Courts ... re Geld at the Towu Hall, for Surrey, and at the Swan tun , Westminster-bridge, for Mid dies's. At the last Courts ham, were sworn to examine into end report 1111 the state of the river, in consequence of the suitensenr• which bad been made at the Mansion House as to the etfrets of the gss.water. The two Juries drew up Reports, hot, is conseqinutee of the illness of the Lord Mayor, no return Court ties held at which they could make their presentment., and the whole proceedings fell to the ground. In the Reports, they presented the discbsrge of the eas resider. front o.e a. were' gs.somelers as nominees, and CUIlS'Uled the whole of the stsii men,. which had been alresily laid before the public, as vie effects produced upon the water of the river by the poisonous matter diecharged into ii from the gig-works. After tip. Juries at both Courts of Cons , rvaney had been sworn in 1111 Friday, the Lord Mayor informed them, that s;nrra the drawing up of their Reports, proceedings had taken place upon indictment against some of the establish. merits, 811 , 1 that the nuisance bud been promised to be abated, They would, therefor.., particularly as to that fact, and endeavour to direst thr merle,. of every im pression consieehrd with the fointer Reports, He doubted sot hat that, from ihe particular anxiety felt upon the sub ject by the public at large, they timid pay adequate eaten• tion to it. Tint NM instant was appointed for the Joey to make their Report. We ire informed, from good authority, that although the gas-water is not now discharged directly from the gas-works into Ike River, yet that the river is as much impregnated as ever with the ;minimises matter, which comes into it at all parts out of common sewers, fium undiscovered smarm. No later than last week • young man sunk whilst swim. using near Westminster, and was under water ■bout fire minuses. Time was animation in the body when it was taken ont by a fisherman. It was immediately conveyed on shore, and surgical aid procured, when the surgeon was stee p' aed on finding the body discoloured by an oleaginous sub stance. extremely adhesive, which was declared to be some of the refuse from the gasometer. Every effort was tried to re. store life, but without effect. A great quantity ape-water was discharged from the stomach; sad we Sr. informed that an opisiou was giver', that had the subject sunk in purer water, there was every probability thAt he might have been restored to life. After the businras of the Courts tag over, the Lord Mayor embarked op board the state har;:e, woth a namber of his pri vate friends, and the prinripll nir outwit of the Corporation now in town, wilt, their Lasher, and she barge wra towed up by the London aleam•bom to Ittcis 'moil, where the party partook of a sumptuous enttittsinoteul o• board the great barge of the ICaivigatiou Cutuutillre. • LOSS OF TEE EARL MOIRA PACKET. No more bodies hive beeu washed op since our last. We are in hope., therefore, that the probable number of the sof f , by the melancholy alopw.eck of the Earl Moira, was exaggerated at the tins( of the eatutioplie. It is tau impro. bable, indeed, that some bodies may have been so covered by the sand, as not to float at the usual period. lf, however, there are any which have not hitherto floated, they are, we hope and believe, very few. We staled, in our publication of this day fortnight, that only 54 persons had been saved by the different boats which came to their assistance; but this was au error, and we are gratified in having now to correct it. The total number seemed from a watery grave was 71; of which 33 were semi by the Hoylake lifeboat; 8 by Neale's boat; 12 by Currie's; 10 by Evans's, of the Mega. sines ; 5 by a Hoylake boat; and 3 by No. 11, pilot boat. Now, as stveral of the must ilittlligeot survivors agreed in eatimatiag the total number of persons on board the packet. oh. a the dreadful catastrophe took place, at 110, and u 91 have been picked op, making, with the 71 survivors, an regregate of 102, this dream...tura affords a strong cur. roborati•,n of the opinion expicased above, that the number nista sees was at Gist exaggerated.—(Liverpool Courier.) A melancholy accident occurred on Thursday evening, be tween five and six o'clock, and which has involved a whole family in the deepest affliction. The two sous of Mr Cooper, of Stainford.atreet, the elder ten years of age, the younger just turised a. wen, slipped away from home, their mother within the last few days having bn ti confined. The elder b o y, havtog a toy boat, went dower to the river side above Ithackfriarp-bridge, to sail it, accompanied by his brother: they got on board a barge at its moorings, anal occupied themselves, the one putting the toy boat into the river at one end of the barge, mid the other catching it •t the other end. Tire younger buy, Master Fri deride, is must interesting child, lust hia balance, pitched over, and sunk to rise no more. The elder brother called out to the wateemen who were close by, when Julio Lewis, Samuel Drll,and John Brown rendered every prompt assistance in their power, but they could not recover the body before the vital spark oat extinguished, octet to he trcall;d: n - r - - V , POLICE. NANUON-NOtnii. CAUTION. Sstorday a woman underwent • final examination, on a charge of uttering • forged one-pound note She had, it ap peared, been detected in uttering • forgers at the shop of a citisen, wbo detained and gave her into custody. She was recognised as an old utterer, and the usual nature of the charge was sent by the Lord Mayor's clerk to the Bank, that they might prosecute. In the mean time this woman was reulanded, and was on Satiorday brought up for final examination, when Mr. Maynard attended from the Bank. Mr. Maynard i n f orme d t h e L or d Mayor that the Hank had, since the is sue o f go ld, come to a deterrnination nut to prosecute in canine uttering forged I/. motes. The Lord Mayor here expressed his surprise at this de. termination, as it wa s the interest of the Bank to uphold the public confidence in the notes. Mr. Maynard said, that the Bank wished to warn the public from taking the I/. 'rotes • all. It vra. entirely at their own risk, and on their own responsibility, if they now took 11. notes from strangers. He would not go the length of saying, dial the Rank would not prosecute at all in such cases, but they declined all interference, as they did nut wish that the notes should be taken. The Lord Mayor said that the public should now be par. licularly cautious in taking the Doles, which were so easily converted into specie, and should weigh well the risks of taking any of them from strangers. It should nut, how ever, go abroad, that the law against utteiers was dead, be cause the Bask declined to prosecute. The public could prosecute equally well as if a charge were to be b gbt by an individual; the Magistrate could bind him over to pro- Semite, as in other eases of felony. The person who gave the Prisoner in charge, as be had not lost any thing, did net appear to prosecute, Thu Pro 110111T was Colls.quetrily discharged, after GU ■dmonttiou from his Lordship. It may be worth observing, that since the issue of cold, the number of persons takes in custody on charges 'if ,t -teilng IL forged notes in London has biers alimitiio)..l, from an average of thirty to one or two a week. The num ber of persons taken is emlorty on charges of uttering forged 51. notes has inerea.eil, Litt not in any proportion to the decrease of the number on charges of attain forged 11. notes. GUILDHALL. It is a feet not generally known, and one will' whirl ) it is highly important that the public should be made ac quainted, more especially those whose business leads them to the cattle market in Smithfield, that the Metropolitan Paviug Act inflicts a penalty of N. ■ud nut le.s than 404 upon persons riding horses iu the poblte streets for show, for the purpose of trying them. Two very decent men were brought tip before Mr. Alder man Cox on Salved my. by the ulficers of Smithfield market, for this offence. They were both countrymen, and wholly ignorant of the statute in questioit. l'ne first happened to be in the market with ■ friend, who wanted ta purchase a horn!, and hail, at Isis ' , quest, mount, d one they had hero looking at, and rode the animal out of the market, down Duke.street and back, fur the ;melange of hying it. inno cently enough supposing that he was doing better thou by riding it up and down among the crowd in the market; he was, however, stopped by the officers on his return, the horse seized and taken to the grteu-yard, and himself lodged in the Compeer. The other prisoner Lad accompanied his father from Croydon with a horse for role, nod had, for the purpose of ',hewing ifs paces to a rotenone', rode out of the mar ket in the same direction, and for a similar reason, viz. to avoid the crowd; and on Inc return the horse and his rider shared the fate of their ussfurtunate predecessors in offence. 'f he offence was thus proved, and even admitted ; but, on reference to the Art, it appenring that the Magistrate bad 1111 power to mitigate the penalty below 40*. sad Alder man Cox considering the conduct of the men not deserving such a punishment, recommended the eatasplaint to be with. drawn, and directed the men to be discharged, ott paying the fees at the gteen.yard amid the officers' expenses.

The inquiry respecting this inhuman outrage Is carrying on with unabated activity. It has been stated that Barnett, who gave evidence before the Coroner's Jun, was apprehended no Tuesday, on suspicion of being concerned in the mur der. This man. was tender gardener to M►. lisle, in whose service the murdered mita was, as before stated. Some of Lance's party of horse patrol, belonging to Buw-street, being employed to make inquiries, learned that Barratt, instead of being at the house lie stated on Ibe Inquest, ow the night of the murder, was seen in a p o l i t ic house a s Muswell-hill, in company with two or three men, whom the landlord designated to the officers as •' auspicious looking fellows;" and 'lwo lie (the landlord) took a light into the room, lie observed them bold down their beads, as if to conceal their faces. They remained them but a short time, and went away together. The officers, upon this information, apprehend ed Barratt nt Tottenham High Cross, and took him before the Rev. Mr. ontil and Mr. I:cvil!e (of Worship-strert),who re side at Highgate, where be surderweni a short examisatwu , in the course of which hr protested his innocence, but appeared rather averse to answering questions. He was commit trot fors further examination, and the officers went to 'each his house, where they fuuud a large quantity of plate, apparel, and china of a very superior kind, stowed in various parts of the house; some of them with the name at full lined', amid others the iottisls of Mr. Rothschild, of Stainfurd-bill, the Beaker, with Whom Barratt's wife had lived, as nt, about two years; and upon searching her trunks some more of her masteres property was found. She was taken into custody, and on her way to prison she fainted; and when recovering, exclaimed, " I know my husband will be banged for the murder, and 1 shall, too, fur the rubbery ; but he will die innocent." The husband and wife are both in confinement, and will undergo an examination before the same two Magistrates in the course of a week. The pro perty found would almost fill a waggon, and the Baru alone is estimated at nearly 1001. value. On the night of Friday, the 17th last, the cloth factory be longing to 3lessrs. Sasso at. nod WILLIAM HUMPIIIIIIM, situate in the town of Frome, in the counts of Somerset, was wilfully set on Are, and the same, together with the steam engine and machinery, and a quantity of wool, were totally destroyed. A free pardon to any accomplice who shall give such information as will lead to cohvietion, is offered iu Saturday night's Gazetts; as nl,o a reward of 2501. to any other person who shall cause the couvietiou of the party or parties. On Monday a Coronet's Inquest was held in the parish of IVoitlwolitary, Flinishire, on the body of SUSANNAH JMNItiNs, and the Jury have returned a verdict of N dful Murder against TtiomAs Ma% TON, of the same parish, who has absconded. - CORN WA LL ASSIZES. BOOMIR, 230 AUGUST. SYMONS AND OTHERS V. TUCK FR •N D OTHERS. This was a rare of rjectiorat of the 4 luieresting and important cloture; and from the eiresinistancer attending it may almost be considered a. burdernie upon the romantic. It occupied the Court fur muir than six hours. Mr. ADAM.. in • very able •nd most eloquent speech, opened the case for the Plaintiffs, mid stated the present action to be fur the recovery of au estate in this county, known by the name of Halt, of the yearly value of at ken 1,2001. at premed in the pt* ion of the Symons' family, • who for the last eights-ea years had contistued in pus session of the property. In 17641 Mr. Symous, greed father of the present claimant, died, leaving his pro perty in tail, and also four children, William hymen., Ni chols, Symons, father of the present claimant, and two daughters. William Symons succeeded his father, and enjoyed the property till the period of his decease. Ni cholas Symons, the sccoad son, was placed as au appren tire with Me. Itasliti-izlt, soliritor, of St. Auntie. There he • happeued utifurtunately to Gina an attachment for • girl, beneath his situation and mono-eta in life; and, therefore, however deserving she might be its other respects, it was an sttechosent which was discouragid, •s being contrary iu the desire of his friends, who no doubt wished for him so alliance in a superior rack of society. In 1782, about the Latter part of the year, lie went to London ter be admitted rt, au attuiney. The dissent of his frieitils to hie fond at nehment weighed heavily upon his mind—and about De cember Mr. Raribleith received a letter from him, stating how much that circumstance affected him, that he was the must miserable of min, that lie knew not what to do or where to go; that in consequence of his conduct he retold trot think of what bad be en once proposed (that of elites ing into partnership with Mr. Raslileigh),•sod that be fraud lie should never make up his mind to salmi into Coins/all again.— He intimated that be would write to Mr. Rashleigh again in a week o r ten d a ys ; hut from that period he disappeared, and nothing mote had been heard of him nulil the present time. Now it happened that about this time a certain per sun,quire a stratieer, appeared at Liverpool, enssering in every respect to the stature, complexion, &r. &e. of this Sy mons, and there hr continued to drive a hackney or stage coach, under the name of Nathaniel Sherwood, until the day of his death, which happened, the Learned Counsel be. tiered, in 1802, when lie was accidentally drowned in the ferry-boat, while crossing the River Willey. This Sherwood married in Liverpool, and William Sherwood, o therwise Symons, the present claimant, is his eldest sun. Ile would prove the identity of this Nathaniel Sher wood, and would produce witilesoes hum Liverpool to swear to the heielit, appearance, &c. of Nicholas Symons; he would also produce faintish oitnesses to prove that of Symons, which would be futon,' to be the same, nod uoulil then prove the hand-writing of Sherwood sod Symons to be that of the same identical person. —After the death of this Nathaniel Sherwood, there was finord in a trunk belonging to the late Nathaniel Sherwood, Itwo eertifieatis of admission to practice as •n attorney, under the name of Nicholas Symons, of St. Austin, gentle moil. SUMP Ohl' pliers were also found, bring accounts between Syrn,ms and his mother, and which mistimes would prove to have In-en a rittru by the same. Ile would pros e Alio that Plaint ill 'a ( - harken were called by the same Home ns that of N. Symons 's family, and that lie held his birth.rlay un the some day. Hefter thus pruviug the rx traordinuty disappearaure of one man, and the strange ap pearance of the oilier, after proving the likeness of the two mcn, after proving in a positive matinee slat writing to be the sante, lousing those certificates of this N. St stuns to be found in the 11 - Ittst of Nathaniel Sherwood—to what con clusion must they lead, Lot that Sherwood and Symons are tiresome man; aud if all this can be proved to the satisfaction of the Jury, however ',violist to their feelings, they must then decide that the Harold*, William Sherwood, is the son of this Nicholas Symons, end entitled to the pro perty of the estate.

With regard to a case rest ing upon the comparisou of handwriting, there were many cases i• which life even had Loot lust ill this way; and it the testimony which lied been produced was not credible, he scarcely knew what was safe. The Counsel for the Defen dants had seemed to Bud some little variation in the hand writing of Symons stud Sherwood ; • man's haud.writiog might alter • little with age, and appear au on being com pared by the eye of a stranger; but it was those ouly who had been accustomed fur so long to sec him write, who could he deemtd competent judges of the fact.—Predict for the Mr. ROWLAND HILL of ti.wkstone, Shropshire, is expected to offer hintedf a candidate for the seat in the representation of that county, vacant by the devtkuf Mr. Corsi.
