The preparations have been made upon a very liberal and effective scale. The first scene is a fine panoramic view of the street, with the platform, galleries of spectators,- and troops before which the procession passes, in the same order, a s nearly as the theatre would admit, as that observed oft the 19th July. at Westminster. Having the advantage of that day's experience to guide them, the Managers louse mailed themselves of it most successfully, and the cosituvere of each particular class of persons engaged iu the real ceremony has been copied.iviiii great exactness. Mr. ..--RLI.ISTON represented Ids Majesty in robes, which bore a close resemblauce to thine worn on the day before men. tioued. He looked well in them, moved gracefully, a nd was cheered with much warmth, poet of which seemed to be a tribute to himself and part to the occasion. The canopy was a very neat and close resemblance of the real one. The procession left the stage; the scene changed to the Abbey, and a very accurate representanon was d splayed of the irate. rior of the choir, the galleries, and their company. the sacrarium, altar, amid decorations, chairs of state, throne, Ste. The procession now moved from the bock of the pit up to the stage on a plat form which teos - lalrt over fie the purpose. A- 'sort of the religious ceremonies was executed, such as the presenting, receiving, and consecrating the rega ha, the homage and the enthronization. Meantime the choir went through various parts of the religious issuwc used on the dey of the coronation. The scene closed again. and ■ view of the Park was pre *voted. KNIGHT came on in quality of o country man, and sang a humorous song of loyalty, which was encored. He wait joined by Mr. RUSSELL, as a ot.satnait, Miss Cowin', his sweetheart, and Mr. T. COOSA, his Captain. Between them there was o short interlude kept op, the writing of which will do more for the author on the score of loyalty than of wit. The scene gives time for changing the iiiterior to that of Westminster Hall. Though the preceding view was intry st ri king, this which succeed ed wient far beyond it ; it was most gorgeous, being a close imitation of that which really took place. Af ter the performance of Pion nobis 'Dwaine, another 'operant's, of pensioners, yeomen, and melt in sr. moor. entered. followed by the Herald who pro nosoced the Champion's defiance; on the repeti tion of which the Champion entered on a cream colourol horse, with glittering harness, brazen armour. and towering plume...he was weeded by the two Noblemen. wham steeds were no kiss poly caparisoned. He received the cup and gave the health of George IV. out loud—a response of applause was given from various parts of the house. The horses were backed, though with ' some little difficulty, across the pit. the platform over which they had traversed, and the curtain fell. Very great applause succeeded, with general shouts • " God save the King." upon which the curtain was again drawn. and some of the vocal corps stood forward .ad sang the natioual anthem. The spec tacle on the whole is very interesting, sad derives greet iuterest from the strict imitations of thegroups mid dresses as they were seen on the day the event of which is here celebrated. The greater port of it might pass for what was then done and asedtermi the expense of imitating so pompous a scheaareidand hove been very considerable. The overflowing tubs's. of the house, and the eager applause' which mosked the differeut portion's of the performance. are ample sureties that the money elll not be spent iu vaiii. HAYMAREET. Lovers' Quarrels was performed at this theatre last night, Miss BOYCE sustaining the part of Leonora with mach spirit. Mrs. TAYLEURS, in the 'matt coquet Jacinths, and Mr. J. RUSSELL, in the eccentric humour of Sancho, were all that could be desired. The comedy of the heir at Law followed, in which the characters were uniformly well sus tained. Mr. Witidtms gave is rich and enter- Limit% portraiture of the ionize self-satisfied vulgar importance of the chandler Lord, Daniel Damien. The heedless vivacity of the attorney's clerk, hick Dowisii, and his flippant coxcombry after his smitten elevation as an Honourable, sat easily on ?.Jr. LACY, who gave the fullest effect also to those scenes in which the more genuine end hearty ems - lions of the character are resumed. Mr. J. Hos sctr. gave 'it finished performance of the unsophis ticated feeling and honest rusticity of Zekiel. Time eccentricities of Doctor Panglos, his pomp ous pedantry, his easy and almost fawning pliabi lity, the awkward transports of his rainiest upon each successive increase of his income, and the still woe ludtcroes despondency of his resignation under his reverse of fortune, were hit off with ex quisite !minim by Mr. TERRY. Mrs. PEARCE was ma legitimate representative of Deborah Dow- Lis, the clearstarcher. with all the pertness or vulgar upstott, awkwardly assuming the airs and would-be easy demeanour which she- conceives be coming the wife of a Peer. Mrs. You NG was graceful and ladylike in Caroline Dormer; and Cicely—the simple, artless, guileless, affectionate, amid cat► tiding•titety Homespun—was issterrstingly sustained by Mrs. /dolma. The whole perfoinsance sgave unqualified sibs faction to an elegant and crowded audieuce.

N sdi t. , tz". Mr. Green ascended •*ith his balloon yesterday from the Belvidere, Pentonville. This is the same intrepid aeronaut, and the vehicle the same, that amended from the Green Park on the day of the coronation. Mr. Green resides in Goswell-street, Barbican, and was to he accompanied in his serial flight by an opposite neighbour, a daring and scien tific brinier of the same street. Mr. Green, how ever, took his flight alone., Whether his expected companion could not solder up courage enough for the purpose has not transpired. The balloon, as on the late ascent, was inflated by common gas.... From the thin and light slate of the atmosphere, on lira leaving the parent earth, it ascended but slowly, and in a lateral direction. The intrepid aeronaut threw out ballast to aid its flight, but not in sufficient quantity. After a short interval he lightened his burden by a second discharge of bal last, which had the desired effect. The balloon went off in a north-easterly direction, and was soon out of sight.. An immense concourse of specta tors was assembled on the occasion. We regret to slate that it was attended by several accidents. • A number of persons of both sexes, consisting of men, women, and children, who had assembled to witness the ascension of the balloon, climbed on a low wall, toped with iron railing, surrounding the lawn in front of a gentleman's house, for the purpose of elev a ti n g th emse l ves above tho se on the ground, wheii the railing not bring sufficient to resist the cumbrous weight of those attached to it, about twenty yards of it gave way, together with a part of the wall, bearing all before it into the street, and many had either a leg or an arm broken; hut the most grievous case of all was that of a fine boy, about eight years of age, who was killed on the spot by a large portion of the stone pillar of the gate falling on his head, which crushed it to mummy. We do not recollect any public meeting sioce the memorable %Vest End Fuir, at which the light-fingered gentry mustered so strong as they did yesterday in front of the Belvidere, in Penton vale, where, forming themselves into files, they paraded through the crowd, and robbed almost every person who came in their way. Several ladies and gentlemen were robbed of their gold watches, ridicules, and pocket-handkerchiefs. Upwards of forty of those villains were secured and lodged in Pentouville watch-house. ... i 11..., 1, • 401•• , .

Mr. 1:1412 stated this was the petition cif the Pi tirkLired . Cbarlea townshend, praying that the Cl4rN.ead John Townehend and Mr. Blake, tine trusties appointed by the will of the late Mar. qiitivor Towrialiend, and their agents, might be re strained by isijunction from cutting down timber on the ti estates, and that Mr. G. Daniel, the receiver appointed by the Court. slight be reacted fora that situation ) and another receiver appointed in his place, and that he might be or deredMeisetenint for all the timber which had been already **it'down and disposed of with his privity. lie (tile Learued Counsel) stated that the Plaintiff hart found it necessary to present this petition ) in order to prevent the property in trust from bring unnecesoanly wasted. The trustees left the ma nagement of the estate entirely to their subordinate agellles who had lately been in the habit of cutting down large quantities of thither, for which no ac coast had been rendered ) and also that the parties against whom the petition was presented had con tinued to cot timber at a time whets many tree. which had been already felled were suffered to lie op the refound and rot unused. He therefore con. leolled shut there was sufficient ground for the re moval of Mr. Daniel from the receivership, that of hie not having interfered as he ought to have done to have pre.eirted the waste complained of. He area convinced that he had shown sufficient to the Omit to induce his Lordship to grant the prayer of the petition. The ATTORNEY GENERAL, Counsel for Mr. Daniel. opposed the petition. He cootended that his cheat was in no way answerable for the alleged waste, for in fact he had never given any directions for the felling of the timber, arid was lie ways an swerable for what war done by the trustees or their agents. Under those circumstances he had no doubt but his Lordship would dismiss that part of the petition which went to affect Mr. Daniel. Mr. Hoene followed on the same side. Mr. HEALD, Counsel for the trustees, contended !bat there was a discretionary power vested iu them pith respect to the felling of the timber, and stated *et his clients fully approved of the conduct of Illeieogesits in cutting down the timber. It would be k waste of the time of the Court if he was to bake any further observations ' as the petition was Uncalled for, and ought to b e dismissed. Mr. SHADWILL followed on the saute side. • Mr. More replied. • The LORD CHANCELLOR--" I have read the petition, and I observed that the will of the late Marquis of Townslietel devised his estates in trust to Lord John 'rownshend and Mr. Blake for a term of 21 year., during which time they were empower ed to cut down timber as they should think proper. sad accumulate the produce for the benefit of the heir. In 1812, application, it appears, was Made to this Court for a receiver of the rents and profits. which application was acceded to by the Coort, and Mr. G. Desist was appointed to that office. The order for the appointment of this Geetlemoo was drawn up in the usual way sseh orders are usually drawn up. and nothing said in it respectiug the cut tiog of timber. Although in orditutry cases the power at cutting down timber belongs to the receiver. yet here there is a special direction in the Will that the trustees shall exercise that authority. From the year 1812 down to the present time the estates have continued to be managed iu the way now complained of. It appears the agents of the trustees have been cutting down timber, and the receiver has never interfered in any way. ex cept for the purpose of receiving the produce of the timber so cut down. It does not ap pear that this officer is unwilling to account for the money he has received for the timber. In my opinion it is a very hard case to present this peti tion spinet Mr. Daniel, who had no power to eel otherwise than he has done. I see co meson for charging Mr. Daiiiel with acting improperly, awd therefore the petition, so far as it respects hiss, mint be dismissed with costs. Although there is a dis cretionary powery vested in the trustees with respect to the felling of the timber, yet they must be held responsible for the misapplication of the produce of the timber. It is not because they possess a dis cretionary authority that the Petitioner is not to he protected against the abuse of it. If Loot - Charles Townshend can state any particular acts of miscon duct on the part of the trustrees, the Court will nut hesitate to refer the subject to the Master ; at pre sent all I find myself permitted to do is, to order thut no timber shall be cut down unless fur neces sary repairs on the estates, without the direction of a Master of this Court. As to the coats of this sp. plication, let the coats of all the ponies be paid mat of the estates, except that part of the petition which goes to offer t Mr. Daniel, the receive."

He aid this was an action to recover a compensation in damages for an injury which occurred but too frequently in the higher circles of society in this coeutry. Hitherto it had not been very common among the middle ranks. Juries had always given large &tines in cases of this sort, and he could not conceive that because the parties moved in an hatable sphere, that the injury was at all lessened Aar the claim to exemplary damages diminished. 4'he Plaintiff kept • tavern called the 0.

I remember my brother and Mr. Yorston went a trip to Margate. My sister's conduct to my brother prier to Mr. Yorston's visit* was very proper, but subsequently it was ern strange; she became careless towards him, and I observed that her attentions were not as forineey directed towards him. I remember my 111111e'r going ott a visit to my father and mother at Whitstable.. near Canterbury. I remember when she retinue's home, it was in the evening.

Mr. Yorstou sold me not to tell Mr. Coveney that lie had been at the house; for while lie was at dinner with him, he told hint lie was going on a visit to some square at the «est end of .the town.
