Vie csoutry. In this hope her prosecutors were rappriiiiht-d : the charges prefetred by the Air To aster Ciem MIL were disproved by his own witnesses, tire public disbelieved them, and the fill of Pains iota Penalties was thrown out by the only brunch of the Legislature to which it was committed ; so (hit, in fact, the QUEEN, amidst ten thousand itiffi rulties, and in the face of a tribunal where her enemies sat as her judges, gained a most decided triumph. lier MAJESTY, therefore, stands at this moment in the same situation as she did previous to Ler trial, and if the sense of the country were ut !hat time unfriendly to the measure of excluding vcr from the honours of the Coronation, no circum stance has since occurred to change her condition, Vr to weaken the influence which the justice of her case then exercised upon the mind of the public. AVlwn the question respecting the propriety of hissing the Kt NU crowned without the participation of the QiugEN in that honour was first agitated on her MAJESTY'S arrival in this country, the general expression of the moment was, that the people would be very much displeased at such an occur rl•nce : so also thought the Ministers when they consented to postpone the Coronation, rather than to put the question to issue. It will be a reinaika- Tile instance of the versatility of public opinion if the !Moisten were now, without experiencing am• nark sal public displeasure, to effect the object which they were apprehensive of attempting so short a time previously. The Nlarquis of LONDONDERRY, in answer t• a question put to Jilin about three weeks ago in the House of C.; tttttt tins upon this subject, replied, that the admission of the QUEEN to participate the honours of the Coronation was governed altogether by the KING'S prerogetive, uud insinuated that Perliaintirt hail no right whatever to interfere in the matter. This is not constitutional language•. The KING'S prerogative is acknowledged by law in many other matters, where, however, it would be extremely unwise to enforce it without the consent of Paclianumt, and in the ',resent ad. vsnced state of constitutional learning in this country, it can never be contended that the pre rogative ought to be suffered to work an injustice to the first subject iu the realm, when in the case O f every oilier subject no catch power is 'opposed to reside in the Crown. It would be considered extremely ungracious, not to say unconstitutional, if the Ministers of the Crown were to advise the KING to exclude front the ceremony of his corona tion a certain number of Peers of the rraltn—rup prier, for instance, all of those who form what is commonly called the Opposition in the House of Lords; nor would it. we think, he patiently endur ed if the same Nliiii.ters, when questioned upon the point in Parliament, were to refer the act to the Royal prerogative, and say that it rested with the KING'S Majesty to exclude from the ceremony whatever persons he may think right. If such an exclusion iu the ca►e of one hundred Peers were a grievance, so would it equally be a grievance if only one were excluded, and if to exclude a Peer at the mere caprice of the Ministers of the Crown be an offence against propriety, justice, and the re cognised principles of the constitution, a fort icsri • must it be unwise, unjust, and inexpedient to ex clude the first subject in the realm. The usage of the kingdom has been that the Queen Consort should be crowned with her Sovereign, and it is ■ severe punishment, unwarranted by any judgment or conviction, that the present Queen Consort should be deprived of this right which has been en joyed by her 'predecessors. The 'Ministers of the Crown ought to ponder seriously upon the awful responsibility they incur by thus breaking through the old established customs of the realm ; they ought at least for their own security, if not for the satisfaction of the public, to submit the matter to the unbiassed judgment of both Horses of Pa►lia srieut, that posterity might not be compelled to thick that the QUEEN was insulted and injured for the gratification of personal dislike. It can never be forgotten that her Mcseerv's enemies com pletely failed in their attempt► to prove her guilty ; she is therefore still entitled to all the rights, dig statics, and immunities of a Queen Consort. Last morning the Members of the Heralds' Office, attended by a large body of Police-officers and con stables, and a strong detachment of the Life Guards, resembled at an ei.rly hour for the nue. pose of Proclaiming the Coronation of his Majesty George IV. on the 19th of July neat. Being arranged in proper order, the Procession began to more about twelve o'clock to Chariug-crusis, where the Proclamation war read, amidst • hum.- 10U4 rVIICOUTSe of spectators attracted by the splendour of the scene and the fineness of the day. The helmets and other ornaments of the men gleatniiig iu the sunshine had a beautiful effect.— The Procession moved up the Strand to Temple bar. where it was detained a lung time, wailing tor the Lord Marcie, who alierwards arrived accom panied by reeriul of the Aldermen, Sheriffs, &v. After tier usual formality of demanding admit lance, the gates were opened by command of th e Lord Mayor, and the cavalcade proceeded to the end of Chancery-lace, where the Proclama tion oar itguin read. It was repeated at the end of Wood -street, Cliespside, and lastly at the Royal Eirchaaige, which ended the ceremony. The 4d Life Guard., who hive been a long time quartered in the neighbourhood of Portman-square, snatched from their stabler is King -street, ut fire o'clock last morning, on their route to Windsor, where they will relieve the Oxford lilacs, who are to occupy the new barracks in the Regent's Park.

Yesterday the anniversary dinner of these excellest Charities took place at the Precautions' Towers ; the Hos. Edward Petre is the Chair. trupported on the right by the Right Rev. Dr. Poynter, mid on the left by the Right Hos. Lord Clifford. We also noticed the Hun. Mr. Clifford, Mr. .1. Hutchinson, &e. After the cloth was removed Non nu, Doming wassail( in fine style by the professional Gentlemen present. The following toasts were the, given from the Chair : " The King" three times three.—(Gres! opplasse.)—. Tune, " God sere Ike Sing." " The Royal Family," three times their.—" Roil, Slar spf Bruarreich!" " The Duke of Sussex, the liberal supporter of all chari ties," three times tbree.—(Great applause.) The Cnionexas said he felt some delicacy is making any observations with regard to the toast he was now about to propose. In addressing a Catholic assembly, be was coo. *trios' it world be presumptiou in him to dwell opal the claims of thin charitable institution. Certaiu persons had opposed them in an underhand way, and attempted to undermine their schools, by holding out that education could be &wattled at a cheaper rate. Tu them 'he would apply the words of the poet, " Odi profanorit values a arcs..." They had some difficulties to enconuter, but he was sure they would he overcome by the liberal support which the Institution had experieoced. He concluded nick giving—" Success to the Charities." The children were then introduced, preceded by the Stewards, the band playing " St Palr;ek's May is She Morn ing." A splerdid flag, inscribed " The Associated Catholic Charities—Education,-Orphans apprenticing," was borne by our of the boys. There were several smaller Rags, beau tifully embroidered, which we understand were the work of the girl.. The children, to the number of 700, appelred in high health and spirits, and presented a very gratifying spectacle. The Hon. Mr. Ct.tr►onu role, and in s very appropriate sperrii, replete with reefing, advocated the cause of the lu stitution. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Hun. Charles Cliff . ..rd. Mr. CLIVTORD returned thanks. " The Ladies."—" Here', • Health to all good Lasses." The CHAIRMAN thee gave the health of Lord Clifford, whom he might style the Father of the Institution. Hi Lordship returned thanks in a abort speech. " The Doke of Norfolk."—" The Carl of Dononghmore." Mr. J. HUTCHinsOII returned thanks on behalf of his noble relative. He could not conceive any thing more honourable than advocatiog the cause of their Cath o lic frl low-countrymen, and be could confidently tray, that moil the cause bad finally triumphed, the Lail of Donoughmore would be found at his post, prepared to give the measure his best support. The CeUst>wats, accompanied by the Stewards, left the room amidst the applause of the compauy t which separated at the same time. DREADFUL ATTRMPT AT ASSASSINATION OP MAJOR-GRNRRAL RADON. Maawitonouort-ternierr.—Yesterday morelng great in terest was excited at the west end of the town, in cons,. quence of a horrid and blood-thirsty attempt upon the life of Major-General Cation, at his residence its Berkeley square, by a man named William l'admore, of respectable ap pearance, between 35 and 40 years of age, who, under pre. tence of rommuoiestiog some private hosiers. to the Ge. neral, sought as interview, and with a butcher. knife stabbed him in several parts of the body, by which his life is placed in the most imminent danger. The transaction being of so very horrid as well as unaccountable a nature, a report of it spread rapidly in every direction, and the crowd about the General's house became immense. The Prisoner was taken into custody immediately after the act and carried to a watch-bnuse, from whence he was conveyed in a coach without loss of time to Maelhoroveli-street, handcuffed and double-ironed, in case of several officers, followed by a vast crowd of persons. Oit being placed at the bar his appear ance denoted extreme agitation, bat an indescribable fero city strongly masked his features. He was decently dreamed, sail we miderstaud bas a wife and family. Several fashion able persons were present during the-examination, and the crowd in the ball and °Weide the office was so very great, that the officers had considerable dif f iculty in preventing them from forcing their way inside. J. E. Conant, FAN. immediately attended to the case, and Sir William Ladoga, the General's nephew, and several of his te, attended to give evidence, in healing which the time of the Magistrate was occupied severe, hours. William filmdom, servant of General Eadon, being sworn, Mated, that yesterday isiondiig,• abort nine o'clock, the l'ri ' Donee called at his master's house ; he knocked at the door and witness opened it ; he inquired whether General Eadila was at home, and said if be was he wished to speak to him. G I Eadon was in the parlour at the time, and witness went iu and delivered the message ; the General desired him to say he was not at home, as be did not wish to ere him. Witness returned to give this inforinntiois to the Prisoner, and as he reached the passage (as coming from the parlour), on turning rowed, iii consequence of hearing some footsteps after him, be observed the General at his heels, who called out to him to put that fellow out of the boner; and at the same time advanced towards the Prisoner, with an apparent determination of 'eking en him, In order to force Win out of the door. Witners then thought lie saw the Prisoner aim a blow at his master, and they collared each other, and had a scene for some time, witness nut being able to separate them, and ultimately they butte fell on the ground. The G I immediately exclaimed, Oh! Oh! Oh! Witness ran to his master's assistance, and called out fur help, on which Sir Wtlluam Eadon came sup, and they both dragged the Prisoner away from the General. His mastra was bleeding profusely, and the place near which he ley was covered with blued. Officers were seat for to take the ' Prisoner into cestudy, who made us, resistance. Sir William Woo was next examined, and appeared to he deeply affected at the circumstance ; being sworn, he said, that is, consequence of hearing a noise and con. siderable confusion iu the ball, he came oat of him room, and heard his uncle exclaim three times, " I am stabbed!" he went up and assisted in furring the Primmer away frees bias, who clung to him so fast that he bedlam+ difficulty in rep.. rstiog them ; on 4 . 10101 i n i fig be Meteorites wick he found Wan covered with blood, and streams of blood roguing about the floor ; be also discovered that his wick had three wound* in the right side, under the right breast ; on looking about the spot be perceived. large knife covered with blood, which he tank up; •it appeared to be a boicher's knife, what he understands is termed a " sticking knif e ," i t wa s sharply pointed, and to all appearances had bet a prepared for the dr, adfol oceasiou; he seirell the prisoner, who made lit tle or Ill) tesistance, and detained him till the arrival or the affirms, to w loom the prisoner seereadered hi mse If quietly ; for the Prisoner, he understood, was a servant of Gee. Edon i n India; witness seat for a surgeon to assist his uncle, who lay on the Coe, unable to move from the effect of his wounds. Mr. James Earl, sweets, of George-street, Portman. square, stated, that he came to the bowie of Gen. Cation, and sti his arrival foetid him weltering in blood and in a very faint state; examined his wounds, of which he found there were three under the right breast Ida 'colour nature. One of them in particular, which he had probed, was three inches deep. Did nut apprehend any immediate danger, but it was impossible at present to give a positive opinion. He dressed the woutide, and bad the General removed to his bed. The Getterd was in so weak a state as to be iiiespable of speaking. The Prisoner, on being called upon fir his defence, main . laieeil at first • gloomy silence; Wit at length turned towards the a!asistrate, sod said—" I have had cause for what t base done; I know the dreadful situation in which I stand its eimitioquenee of it ; but my determination was fixed, and my mind made up to abide the result. I mast decline, fur the preset*, saying more." These words were uttered with a tremulous voice, but with a countenance kimonos and eid leo ; and the Prisoner turned away from the bar, as if anxi ous in avoid the game of the persons preemie. Conant said, the evidence was conclusive of a preme. dilated intention ow the part of the Prisoner to commit the crime of murder, and his duly was to comusiv;tlbsoeha:idmetchewfourgnaaviteoeryi.w_seddi touH set the it at accordingly partremoved t h o ef r r iz ed mt h: t o fbar bo ormi co n : hhi oni esaic t re ted ,n had dispensed, he was taken to Newgate.

Mr. Savage said, Ise had brioicht with him Mr. Adam., the clerk of the works to the Company, who was ready to make an affidavit in reply to the evidence g.ven on the occasion in question. The disft of the affidavit was handed in to his Lordship, The deponent awed in it, that he had been clerk cf the work% to the Company helmets three end War year*, and during that period he never sow a soiree dead fish in the river, although he had been much engaged at the waterside; but lie bad li-esteem!, :wen live eels in the cistern from which the woks were supplied with water. He further Mated. that he could at that moment produce:, specimen of the red worm in a bucket of moil which he took out of the Thames on the 13th. and that the hank of mud rstending from and adjacent to the works, abounds with the red worm. The deponent went on to state, that he" firmly believed" that tie statement made by the fisherman, and corroborated hy Mr. Nelson (if it were intended to apple to the estahLalnurnl in which the deponent bad the honour to be employed) to be utterly 'groundless, Ste. The listed Mayor expressed his reluctance- to swear the demment to this affidavit, whirl, appeared to he ao iujndiciuw• one, that could reader the Compan♦ no service It wars rather too much to set the bare belief of a man against the statement made by individuals to frets of their own know lerhye. The terms of the affidavit were too hard, and such as the individnals spoken of could not be expected to sit easy under. But it was not against this establishment that any complaint had been made, but against the several gas works near the river generally. Mfr. Savage Said, that the impression made upon the pub, lie by the statement, was colculsted to do the Company the greatest injury. He contended that the tr.aoitity of the - lotion whirl wan hi oil onset) ineonsiiirrabk, in proportstur to the great body of water, that it could nut possibly be in jurious. In fart, it was in the proportion of less than one gallon In a million, which could not he contaminated 4 that small proportion of the solution, if it were of arsenic. The Lord Mayor asked what was the ge quantity of the solution discharged into the Thames daily Mr. Savage said, that it was about reveal hundred galling ie the twelve hours, which qtthiltity st as let off at two tides on the turn downwards, so that it Was hardly possible fur it to do say injury upwards beyond the ges.wolke. As to the statement about the horse having been killed by drinking of the gas water, with •Il due drfereuce In the powerful authority of the enlightened Water bailiff, hr could not help treating it as apocryphal, for he (Mr. Savage) had some knowledge of the constitution of It, how, and doubted whether any of those animals would drink of any thins that wee so highly tanieonous.— But the feet was, that a solution of him., so fir from be ing prejudicial, was the lint thing in the world for horses that were thick winded, and what wa' constaistly give') to them medicinally. lie did not Oontit that the horse had died', bet not of drinking gas water. It was import ant to the Company that the impression produced should he removed, es they were now under au indictment for the' which bad been complained of. If the prejudice were suf fered to gain ground, the Company would be pot to the ex pense of eartins off the solution perhaps down to the fibre, at an expense of npwarde of 2,0001. per eumint. Mr. Savage said, the Company were ready to meet the ekmest io aestigatioa in the matter, and they had no doubt that a attic: inquiry would remove all prejudice. The Lord Mayor Paid, there could be no doubt !bat the discharge from the works of the Company CW1100141141 of could not of Reel(' do the injury; but there were seve ral ether establishments of the same description by the riverside of which the fishermen complained. His Lard ship said, Iliad there were thousands of his fellow-titivate who drank of the water said to he en highly contami nated, besides himself, who drank it twice • day, without being poisoned or disordered by it; therefore he could nut conceive that fish or horses could be poisoned without their participating in the effects. As the ease ....a. be could nut certainly cumnder that the solution was so highly injueintte as the Water Saila had been mule ill believe by the &bermes.
