LONDON, FRIDAY, Juxs 3. 11114. The Path Journals continue to be fully occupied with the details of the coronation. The Morning Papers of Tuesday are filled with the extracts from the tloile of the Previous evening, which we published yesterday. We ob isAliNaha..Mlh --•••••••-- serve with much pleasure that general satisfaction has lacen given by the terms of' the Coronation Oath. The royal promise to govern conformably to the laws of the land, and I to observe faithfully the Constitutional t:harter, is a sure I guarantee for the repoce of France, and for her future rasperity. There remains no doubt of the solidity of the *lineal institutions of the kingdom. The extreme parties 0. each side will be deprived of all hope of subverting them. The Royalists mutt abandon their design of re signing absolute power, and the Liberals will have ntl ,prospect of success in shaking the established order of things. The future struggles of party, therefore, in Prance, VW be assimilated to those of our own country. The sOsestions will be, Who shall guide the Councils of the State ? What 6:1811 be the principles of admlniatration ? The extension of the royal clemeney to the political of feeders now suffering pttnishment or in exile. is a measure wen adapted to produce the mast salutary tams. This is 'Weed " closibg the wounds of the ItevolutliM." By esother Ordinance, all the persons in confinement under the laws for punishing the, &butes of the press are pardoned. The coronation began with the least excitement of public feeling that could have been expected from such a peopl e as the French ; but we understand that the state of public opinion has undergone so favourable a change, that the retutn of CHARLES X. to his capital will in all probability be hailed with acclamations as cordial and unanimous as those ishich welcomed his first entry into Paris as King. I From the Mode dated Wednesday.] jittEINS,II.I•It This morning, at eleven, the King received the diploolatie body, and all thapersons ineited by sealed letter. to attend the Coronation. The same persons were received by the Dauphin, the Datiphlness, and the Lluchesa of Berry. . At seven In the evening the King received the ladies of the city, and all the ladies presented. To-niorrow his Majesty will go to prayers at St. Hemi, and af terwards go to the camp, to review all the troops there, as willies those in the environs. Ilia Mojesty will be accompanied by the Dauphin. the Princes of the Bluod, the Minister of W ar , all the Great Officers, an 4 the Officers of hit DouSehold. [lll.

The pain Which Count Curial felt, .when the accident happened oa the road from Flames, made it supposed that the shoulder blade was broken I but M.

One of the man curious sights, even after the Coronation, is the asap of the troops which his Majesty is to review. A piece of _ W OO nd, bordered by a stream, within cannon.shot of the city, was hired for thirty.live Ahousend franca, to encamp nine thousand in. (entry. The camp is in the form of a parallelogram, one thousand five hundred tomes by eighty.. Eight battalions of the Guards form the right, supported by a battalion algae guns t the left, of eight battalions of the line, has likewise eight guns. The centre is kayoed by two companies of the Erginecrs, and is opposite the pavilion of the King. -The front .of this line is bordered as ;anal by piles of arms between these and the tents of the soldiers, which. are ipiu out so as tb make an agreeable appearance. Blue bottles, jonquils, roses, and tufts of grass, form ciphers, crowns, crosses of St. Louis, of the Legion of Honour, and are surrounded by mottles which are affeeting from their simpli city. Before the 60th Regiment are the following words, formed of blue bottles, below the King's bust-- Us instant dams noire C am p, et dens nos ' effll , BlolB . lollll. Before the 13th is a large crown, with these words—Dicer la. lei a donmic none detains 1a lei conserver. Before the '2".id—Aw get sa J . ldrlle (Insiie. They might have added et sea bonne armee, for it is tinpossibli?. to see finer troops. Among them is a battalion of the 11th of the line, which arrived the 27th In the morning, with its Colonel, coming direct from Serapes. It has mule Id stages, and notwithstanding this long march, its gaiety is unaltered, and its appearance rivals that of the other troops. The quarter of the guards presents everywhere the word fidelity . ; it Is divided into several streets bearing the names of " the King, ' " the Dauphin," the Dauphine's,' " Bordeaux," " llohour," " Fidelity, ' " the Ladies." The Duke of Bellew, who arrived on the 26th, tmtnedlately revoked the order which had been given, it is not known how, by which no officer of the camp was allowed to enter the city ; on the 27th he visited the camp, and when he appeared at the head of the line, the soldiers hastened from their gardens to see nester this il lustrious soldier, who has so many claims to the gratitude of the army. The Marshal seemed much moved with this tespectfol attention. The Minister of War followed the Marshal at the distance of 50 paces. Some remarkable scenes ()centred after the vespers at the Corona tion. The crowd of people that had entered the churl) was so great that there sou hardly room for the clergy to perform their functions. When the King was passing through the gallery to his apartment, the crowd that remained without endeavolued to press on his passage with so much impetuosity, that the armed force was obliged to interfere; but the King, sensible of the motive of thin eagerness, ordered the gend'arnmes to stop, " Your duty is over," said he, " ycu may rctire; I wish that my people should approach me." The Oend'armes obeyed, the people turrourded the King, and several persons came near enough to kiss his garments. The French Funds, it will be seen by our quotations from the Coors Authentique, continue to decline, notwith: standing the extraordinary efforts that arc making to sup port them. We know that no means are spared to insure the success of M. ax VILLE tx's financial operations by the great capitalists, who are deeply interested in Support ing those transactions. '1 were is abundance of evidence floating in the Money Market, to attest the exertions of the patties to whom we allude. But the price of the English Fund:, is not to be fixed by any firm or fancily, however com manding may be its station and influence. The endeavour to raise the French fund, at the expense of the English has failed. If the latter have been depressed, so have the former ; and the consequences have been felt more severely in Paris. The Directors of d o t e Bank of France have been induced by their alarm to call for the repayment of the advances ,they had made, to the extent of fifty millions, on the scrip of the last loan. They have also resolved to make no similar advances for thi future, and to discount only for three months. Unless they are very cautious, M. DE V 11... Ls and his allies will have their hands full.

The examples of early depravity which our police offices so perpetually record, and the sad progresa of vice and crime which will always, more or less, keep pace with the increase of wealth, has, for some time, strongly attracted the attention of those persons,—and, to the honour of our age and nation be it spoken, they are very numerous,—who interest themselves in the moral improvement of their fellow-beings, and in the substantive welfare of that society into which they are born, and to which they belong. It is to the ever-active exertion of persona of this class, that we owe the establishment of NATtONAL SCHOOLS, fur veining the children of the poor to habits of early discipline, and forming their young minds to the reception of those religious doctrines, and the practice of those religious duties, the disregard of which, in the lower classes, is the source of so much mischief to the community, and so much misery to themselves. The more any of us know of the world, and the more we see of human nature, the greater opportunity must we have had of observing how very early the infant character is capable of being formed and moulded, whether for good or evil, and of taking those impressions which are to give the colour to its future life. Children are not admitted into the National Schools until six years of agr, but the poverty of their parents—the I scenes of vice, and guilt, and wretchedness, to which their eyes have been open from their cradle—make these six years a melancholy preparative, in many cases, for the purposes THE •••••• •••• which it it the benevolent aim of National Schools to effect. It having been long manifest that, the good arising out of th se Institutions would be infinitely extended, could th e 'evil here adverted to be obviated, the public will hail with pleasure the proposed establishment of one dr mole Schools for the reception of the children. of the poor, froth two to six years of age, for the particulars of which, and for the distinguished patrons under whose government and superintendence they will be placed, we -refer to the Advertisement in another part of our Paper. The benefit to be derived by those of the poorer orders whose incessant 'out-door ocetipations tali them, the greater part bf every 'day from their homes, and whose necessities leave them without the tfteans of placing their children out of harm's I way, or of keeping their tender years from witnessing the worst examples, and iceluiring such habits a; make them an early and an easy prey to vice of every kind—the be nefit to be derived by this Oise Of parents from the pro• posed establishment in this city of London. can hardly be estimated. The numbers of applicants "hose children the National &Imola are most reluctantly counselled .to reject, from their being under the age at which only they are ad missible, will enable us to appreciate the extreme urgency, as well as extreme utility, of such an establishment in this great metropolis; and the utmost praise is due to the bene volence of its projectors; for the great and invaluable re stilt of their admirable plan will be, that the National Ochools, with regard to all the children whose infant minds - arid morals have been thus prepared, will not have,--as we leer is too often the ease at present,-.-to undo what has been dose, and to waste that time in working out bad habits, whiclisbohld have been applied to the forming theirfuture character, and making them useful to others and happy in themselves... A Petition was pres ents la st night by Mr. Jolts SMITH, signod very numerously by the principal merchants and bankers of London, and praying for the further amendment of the law of merchant and factor. Mr. Htm lIIION intimated his intention of giving his support to the prayer of the petitioners. Mr. scsasstr expressed his concurrence with the opinion of the Judges, which is un derstood to be unfavourable to the proposed amendment for removing the difficulties that now exist in the way of raising money upon goods consigned from abroad to parties in this country. It cannot be denied that the Judges are well acquainted with the practice of the Courts regarding commercial transactions; but the question in this case is, whether they can understand better than the merchant's themselves what is necessary to the defence of their inte rests t The functions of enacting and administering the law are widely different, and require knowledge and talents totally dissimilar in their character and application. It is no disparagement to the Judges to deny that they are the best qualified to decide when and how the law should be amended. They are naturally averse from all change. The perfection of law with them consists in its fixed ness and certainty; and they, sitting in their Courts, occupied with their important duties, cannot be supposed to be aware of that gradual alteration of circumstances which finally renders necessary a suitable adaptation of the law. To men of business, who only attend the Courts oc casionally, when business or curiosity leads them, it is per fectly amazing to hear the opinions which are sometimes delivered by the Judges, on matters with which it is evi dent they never have been practically conversant. With all the profound respect we feel towards the Bench, we are bound to say that we can hardly conceive any tribunal le - ss qualified to determine when the interests of the State re quire the amendment of the law. Mr. &MIME ad mitted that the Judges ought to receive some lessons in political economy we suspect they stand equally in need of instruction, in order to furnish them with a comprehen sive view of commercial principles. Lawyers are notori ously bad legislators. The ATTORNLY-GENEEAL afterwards brought in the Bill for the repeal of so much of the Bubble Act as relates to Partnerships and Joint Stock-Companies. The reasons stated by the lionoursble and Learned Gentleman for introducing the measure were—first, the universally acknowledged unintelligibility of the Bubble Act; secondly, the extreme severity of its penalties; and thirdly, the importance of having the law clearly defined. Under 01 circumstances he judged it advisable to propose the simple repeal of the parts of the Bubble Act to which lie referred. He confessed that he had at one time contemplated the substitution of some enact ments instead of those he proposed to repeal; but on farther consideration he had abandoned his original inten- ' lion as useless and inexpedient. The only measure he in tended to incorporate with the repeal was for the purpose of increasing the facility of obtaining grants of charters. By this clause the Crown will be empowered to grant charters for the establishment of Joint-Stock Companies, on condition that the members shall be individually respon sible for the debts of the Company to the full extent of their effects. By this measure the cost of carrying a Bill through Parliament in each particular case will be saved. The retiring pensions of the Judges were fixed last night. The Puisne Judges will in future be entitled to 3,5001. a-year, after serving fifteen years on the Bench. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had originally pro posed an addition of only 500/. a-year to the present amount of their reCring pension, but the general feeling of the House was in favour of a further increase of 400/. by which the sum is altogether rendered 3,500 L The re tiring pensions of the Mattress of the Botts, the Vica-Cnancsttoa, and the CHIEF BARON, after the same period of service, were fixed at 3,750/. The CHIEF JUSTICES are at present entitled to 4,0001. a year, in which no alteration is made. In answer to a question from Mr. Hume, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that on the expiration of the existing patents, it is intended that the duties of all the offices in the King's Bench and Com mon Pleas shall be performed in person, and the salaries fixed with reference to the nature of the duties. CITY, TIIrItSDkIr EvExtieS. PRESS. This was a busy day in Controls, by reason of their closing at four o'clock fur the payment of the dividends. In the early part of the morning the money price was 9*. They afterwards went up to tili, and closed at 901. For the account .they were done at 911,' 90i. The impression at the commencement of the market was, that the jobbers were afraid of being caught bears at the shutting, and were therefore buying to prevent themselves from being surprised in that manner, but the subsequent decline showed that this opi nion was incorrect. Indeed the sales were heavy in the middle of the day, particularly among the Jews. This is generally the case before the payment of the dividends, as Brokers do net like to re main in a stock that is shut; besides which, the recent fluctuations, which it was supposed would have raised Consols by inducing pur chases, did not affect them. The ordinary result, therefore, took place at the close of the market. The party operating for the fall also had been more successful in their efforts than their anta gonists ; but •ve are quite satisfied that upon the whole Console have not been so firm, in point of price, for a lung time, as they now are. The attention of jobbers was a good deal confined to Consols, but still there was a tolerably large share of business in the Foreign . • - ~.~.~~ Market, and the Securities maintained themselves full/ It' 3reliter day's quotations. Old Spanish [toads were 224 234, and the Nett were 17.

The Courier of last night positively contradicts the re port that the English Govenisnent is incliued to recognise the political independence of St. Domingo. Our readers are aware that negociations between -this ancient French colony and the Mother Country have been begun, but are at present suspended. It cannot be supposed, however, that England would depart so widely from the principles by which she regulated her policy towards the South Arna rican States; for it was not till every effort had been fruit. lenity made to induce Spain to adopt measures of concilia tion that our Cabinet took its resolution. It is said that the deplorable state of commerce at Ve nice has attracted the attention of the Emperor of Austria, who intends to visit that city with a view to take such mea sures as are calculated to improve the trade of that once flourishing place.

The French Papers have stated that two oxen, destined for the King's table at the Coronation baniittet, Weighed 6,6601b5. The statement appeared to 1.111 to savour us; much of the marvellous; the Journal de la Marne, how' ever, renders the fact somewhat more Credible by stating that the largest of these oxen was ten feet six inches in length, six feet in height, and eight feet six inches in girth.

LAPT DAT, THURSDAY. • After six days orrery fins shooting, this very interesting match is decided. The interest in it' leas never flagged from die first day, and long before the shooting,commenoed this morning, the ground. was attended by all the greet shots who have hitherto been present. It wo.dd be a difficult matter to decide which of the two Gentlemen shot best, for we do not think that the winning of the match is ab solutely conclusist Ott the subjwt, as a great deal depends on the tirds ; sometimes they will fly in a direction in which a good shot cannot miss, but at others they will fly so awkwardly for the gun. that the most experienced cannot bring them down. The match o to- t d a o y f w t the 6 0, ' 6O l e ci the Captain is three birds ahead. A match for 3617 is made fire Saturday, between Lord Ke nned y d an ed d i c ri ar ta r v a o in ur ena of .
