LONGMAN. THEIR MAJESTIES. The KING left NN incisor this afternoon (Saturday) at three o'clock, for London. It will he seen that the QUEEN took an excursion to Brighton yesterday, for the purpose of showing her sister, the Duchess of SAXE WEIMAR, the Royal Pavilion. Her MAJESTY returns to London this day. On Wednesday the QUEEN entertained the Court with a dejeune at Adelaide Lodge. In the morning, the KING left the Castle for London, and returned alone in the evening at half-past nine o'clock. The Earl and Countess of ERROL arrived on a visit. On Thursday, the QUEEN, the distinguished visitors, and the Royal suite, went to Hampton in three carriages, to be present at the consecration of the new church ; the KING did not accomptuy the party in consequence of a slight rheumatic attack, but was to have joined the Royal party at Bushy in the course of the afternoon. The rain, however, which fell ;ncessantly during the whole of the day, prevented his MAJESTY from fulfilling this intention. The QUEEN and the rest of the party did not arrive at the Castle before twelve o'clock. Their MAJESTIES will continue to reside at St. Ja:re s ' s till the 15th instant, when the Duke of SAXE MEININGEN and the Duchess of SAXE WEIMAR and her family will take their departure from this country.— Windsor Express.

The Marchioness of WINCHESTER, Counress AMHERST, Earl of GOSFORD, Lord STUART DE ROTHSAY, Lord ' ELIOT, and Lord JAMES OTRYEN, were among theNt,bility in the Chapel. The KING gave audiences in the afternoan to Earl GREY anti Lord HILL. The Duke of SussEx, the Duchess of CAMBRIDGE, ac companied by Prince GEORGE and Princess AUGUSTA, and the Princess SOPHIA, visited their MAJESTIES. The Lmdgravine of II ESiE HOMBURG, the Princess AUGUSTA, and the Duchess Of CAMBRIDGE, dined with their MAJESTIES in the evening. The Duchess of CAMBRIDGE honoured the performances at the Haymarket Theatre on Saturday evening with her presence. The Duke of SUSSEX and the Princess Sorma visited the Princess AUGUSTA yesterday, at her residence in the Palace, St. James's. The Princess AUGUSTA arrived in town on Friday night from her residence at Frogmore. A conference of the Ministers of the five Powers was held at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, at the Foreign office, which was attended by the Russian, French, and Austrian Ambassadors, Count MATUSCEWITZ and Baron DE WEISSEMBURG, the Russian and Austrian Ministers, on special missions, and Viscount PALMERSTON. The con ference lasted three hours. Summonses were issued from the Foreign-office, at a late hour on Saturday night, to the Cabinet Ministers to attend a Council at one o'clock yesterday afternoon.

Duchess HELENA is very regular in her visits to the Montpellier Pump•room, where her Imperial High ness drinks the waters. This morning she was accom- panied by the young Princesses, her - daughters. They continued on the walks till about ball-past nine, when they returned to their residence at the Plough Hotel. There was a very gay assembly at the Rotunda Ball last night, though the company was not so numerous as on the previous Thursday, owing to the extreme wetness of the day, for it rained without ceasing from six in the morning till nine at night.. The promenade this morning at the Montpelier Spa was fuller than on any morning before, this season ; indeed the town is altogether so full, that notwithstanding the great increase of buildings within the last few years, there is scarcely a good house vacant in the neighbourhood of the Spas. I Preparations are in progress at the Montpelier for a Grand Fete on the Coronation day, but hitherto the par ticulars have not yet been made public. REGATTA at CHERBOURG, in FRANCE The Cherbourg Regatta took place on Saturday and Sunday last, and, from the novelty of the scene, attracted a vast crowd of French fashionables to that town. None but English yachts contended for the prizes, the French gentlemen not having yet sufficiently entered into the spirit of naval diversions as to induce them to possess yachts larger than an ordinary boat. As a compliment to the English, the arrangements were entrusted to a gentleman of the Yacht Club, and so miserably were they, we are sorry to say, conducted on the first day, that the large vessels had no possible chance of winning ; the gold cup, of exquisite workmanship, was consequently carried off by ti.e Eliza of 34 tons, Ciptain Garth. The course was about 24 miles. The Eliza was started at one o'clock ; four yachts, of between 40 and 50 tons,were warted in 20 minutes after; the Elizabeth, of 65 tons, at 37 minutes after one; three yachts, about 70 tons, at 47 minutes after one; the Daunt less, of SI tons, at 52 minutes after one; and Lord Belfast's yacht, of 162 tons, not until 54 minutes after two. Suppos ing the first vessel, therefore, to sail at the rate of night miles an hour, his Lordship had to go over the ground at the rate of sixteen miles to give her a chance of winning. The French wet e much disappointed; they could not fancy a race where one competitor started so much before the other. A splendid ball was given in the evening, in a sumptuously fitted up store, to which all the Yacht Club party was invited, and where they were met by at least 800 persons. The ball-room was fitted up with splendid mirrors, and in every interval, the tri coloured flag and the yacht flag were displayed together. The following day (Sunday), a very spirited race took place between the two-masted yachts for a silver cup, which was won by the Gem schooner, Mr. Brett, in high style; being about her own length a-head of ;,lre Janet. A splendid display of fire-works took place in the evening, and on Monday evening Lord Yarborough gave a grand ball and supper. His Lordship wished this to take place on board his own yacht, but the French ladies objecting to the water, iris Lordship availed himself of the same room in which the previous ball had been given. Above 900 persons partook of his entertain.. went, anti the French ladies were splendidly dresser). The yachts returned to Weymouth and this port on Tuesday, having departed from Cherbourg with reciprocal kind feelings between our countrymen and the French. The Vice• Admiral, Baron de Marant, Maritime Prefect, gave a grand dinner at the Hotel Prefecture, to Lord Yarbo rough, Commodore ; Earl Belfast, Vice-Commodore, Lord and Lady Anson, and Captain and Hon. Mrs. Pe ellen. The Admiral spewed every attention to our yacht squadron. In going over, the weather line was led by the Falcon ship, with Lord Yarborough 's pendant, and the lee line by the Harlequin brig , Lord Vernon, who on this occasion hoisted the Vice •Commodore's pendant. The French called one an Admiral, and the other a Rear- Adinital. The French Papers say that the expenre o' the ball and supper, given by Lord Yarborough, amounted to 8001., and the gold cup was worth 4,000 francs.— Hampshire Telegraph. Despatches were received this morning at the Colonial-office, from the Mauritius, dated April 30, upon matters connected with our Colonies. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Portsmouth Herald of Sunday.) PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. Majesty's ships Talavera, 74, Captain Colby, and Wellesley, 74, Captain Rowley, sailed from Spithead, on Monday, for the Downs, in con sequence of a telegraphic order which ar rived on the pre vious Saturday for those ships to proceed thither with all practicable despatch, in order to embark on board the 89th Regiment of Foot. stationed at Canterbury, for conveyanc e to Plymouth, and to return from thence with the depots of the 7ch Fusileers and 35th Regiments destined to re lieve the 90th Regiment, which has been ordered from this prrison for 'Winchester. By accounts from Rams. gate, see learn that these ships arrived off that place on Wednesday last, and on the afternoon of the same day received on board five companies of the S9th Regimens, which had marched in from Canterbury, and which were taken off by his AI ,jesty's steam-vessel Albion. The re maining companies were embailied in the same manner on Thursday, on which day the ships sailed for Plymouth. Various ridiculous rumours have been circulated, all equally devoid of truth, with regard to the destination of these troops, the e , obarkation of which is represented as having caused a trifling depression in the fonds. The Talavera and Wellesley will rejoin the squadron at Spithead, as soon as they shall have performed the above service, in all probability about Tuesday next. • Orders were received, by telegraph, on Friday last, from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, for his Majesty's ships Barham, 50, Captain Pignt, Cut acoa, 20, Captain Dunn, and Victor, 18, Commodore Ellice, to prepare for sea with all practicable speed. They will, in al: probability, sail this day or to-morrow. Rumour has, as usual, been busy, and assigned to them various destina tions, and among others, Lisbon has bet n mentioned. We believe, however, that they are only going on a short cruise, to try their respective qualities. This trial will he highly interesting, the ships selected being all what are termed " experimental ships," and having already proved themselves three of the best ships in the fleet. His Ma jesty's ship Winchester is ordered to accompany this little squadron, and remain cruising with them for a few days, after which she will proceed to her destination, the West Indies, and the Barham, Coracoa, and Victor, will return to Spithead after some further trial. They will be under the command of Rear-Admiral W. Parker, who shifted his flag last evening from the Prince Regent to the Barbell. llis Majesty's ship Donegal, 76, Captain John Dick, is now ready for sea, and is expected to proceed to the Me diterranean in a few days. We understand she is intended to supply the place of his Majesty's ship Melville, e 74, which ship is hourly expected to arrive at this port, to be fitted for the reception of the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir John Gore, who is appointed Commander-in-Chief in the East Indies. The Amphitrite, transport, Lieut. Cooley, Agent, ar rived on Thursday from .Delt.tford, : fur the purpose of re ceiving on board the baggage,, horses, &c. of Lieut.- Ge neral Sir William Houston, for conveyance to Gibraltar. She is not expected to sail till the middle of the week. The Hope, transport, James 'Walter, Master, arrived on Friday from Southampton, having disembarked part of the baggage of Lord Stuart de Rothsay, and proceeded on the same day for Havre de Grace, to bring over the remaining part of our late Ambassador's effects. His Majesty's ship Winchester, 52, Captain the Right Hon. Lord William Paget, having been docked and refitted, went out of harbour on Monday, and was paid wages on Thursday. She is expected to sail in the course of this day or to-morrow, for Haltfax, with 20,0001. in silver, for the use of the Dock-yard, to rejoin the squadron under Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Griffiths COlpoys, whose flag she will re-hoist on her arrival on that station. The fol lowing officers took their passage in the Winchester, to join their respective ships : viz. Corn. Love, appointed to his Majesty's ship Columbine; Lieut. Edward Lake, to join his Majesty's ship Blanche, and Lieut. Halliday, to join his Majesty's ship Sapphire ; Mr. Edward Lawes, se cretary to the Commander-in-Chief, on his return from leave of absence; Mr. Win. Thomas, to join his Majesty's ship Rose, and Mr. E. Stopford, Midshipman. His Majesty's ship Alfred, Captain R. Maunsel, is pre paring at Spithead for the reception of Lieut• General Sir W. Houston, appointed to succeed Sir George Don in the Governorship of Gibraltar. She is expected to proceed to the Rock about the latter end of the week, and from thence to Malta to join the fleet under Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir A. Hothatn, K.C.B. His Majesty's ship Grasshopper, 18, Corn. J. E. Ers kine, lately arrived from the West Indian station, came into harbour on Saturday, and is expected to be paid off into Ordinary on Tuesday. The Kensington (late American) corvette, passed through Spithead on Friday, in company with a schooner, her tender. She has, we hear, been sold to the Russian Government. _ _ . His Majesty's ship Nautilus, 10, Conn. Right Hon. Lord George Paulet, left Westport Bay on the morning of the 16th ult., and having touched at Claghan to complete water, she joined his Majesty's ship Nimrod, 20, Cons. Samuel Radford, on the 18th ult., at anchor off Foyns Island, River Shannon, which latter ship sailed on the 24th ult. from Tarbert to the Cove of Cork to complete her pro visions, leaving the Nautilus in the river till her return. His Majesty's ship Savage, 10, Corn. Right Hon. Lord Edward Russell, was at Loughswilly on the 27th ult., waiting with a supply of provisions for his Majesty's schooner Pike, 12, Captain A. T. E. Vidal. The Pike, it will be remembered, sailed from this port on the 27th of May last, in order to complete the examination of the western coast of Ireland and the Hebrides, and in which survey she is now employed. His Majesty's ship Orestes, IS, Com. W. N. Glascock, is daily expected at Cork, to be attached to the Irish station. The Orestes sailed on the 25th ult. from Sheerness, and arrived at Plymouth on Monday, from whence she sailed again on the following day for her destination. The Prince Regent, transport, Lieut. C. Binstead, ar rived at Halifax from this port, on the 7th ult. after a passage of fif'y days. The Cygnet, transport, Lieut. Lester, received on board, on Friday, at Chatham, the first division of the 14th R e _ giment for conveyance to Albany Barracks in the Isle of Wight. The Layton, Manlius, and Marquis of Huntley, trans- 1 ports, recently sailed from England, will convey irons Quebec the 75th Regiment to the Island of Bermuda, to relieve the 81st Regiment, which will embark in the same vessels f r conveyance to England.

The Junta in Charles-street has issued circu ars to all the BorouX.mongering Lords sc,journing at their country residences to assemble at their Divesu on Thurs day, the 15th instant, previously to the second reading of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords. The Ear lof HAREWOOD has not yet responded to the summons, but the *Earl of LotisnALE has sent in his adhesion, and the Ilarquisof HERTFORD and his Grace of NORTHUMBERLAND have promised to be at their posts. On Wednesday a Bill was introduced into the Chamber of Deputies by the Keeper of the Seals to mitigate the rigours of the criminal code. It contains many important detail=, and makes some remarkable changes. Branding is to be abolished ;—capital punish ment is to be c h ange d into a less terrible penalty in some in ,tances, where the criminal intention has not been followed with complete execution; and to the Jury is given the Light of deciding on cirumstances of mitigation. This pro ject of law is likely to gain some additional popularity for the Government.— Times. LiTF,RATURg. MEMOIRS OF COUNT LAVALLETTE. Teo VOLS..—LONDON, 1831. This is another of those innumerable volumes which the French press has from time to time poured forth on the subject of Napoleon, his private and public character, his domestic h abits, cltes , s his shrewd military and political apopthegms, his appearance, his manners, and even his Even with the recollection of O'Meara, Las o C f a t e i s i e , and Bu r rin Count ideavie attests, ii , e in our tt c, minds, on e of the the memoir` oldest, most constant, and most attached companions of Napoleon, will still be found very interest ing. They possess all the minute graces of the French school of autobiography, and bear in every page, the strong impress of authenticity. Lavallette writes with feeling, but not to the disparagement of his judgment. Every where he shows himself a close and keen observer of men and manners, and relates an anecdote, or retails a jest, in the happiest, gracefullest manner imaginable. His volumes abound in incident, and comprise a period of nearly thirty years, commencing with the year 1793, and concluding with that of 1820, from the time when he first started in life as a staunch loyalist, and the strenuous but unsuccessful defender of Louis XVI., down to the period when he re turned for the last time from a protracted exile of six years, to that France, for whose welfare he had never ceased night and day to offer up his prayers. Within this eventful interval, he had witnessed the death of one Louis and the restoration of another, the rise and fall of Na poleon, the enthronization and dethronement of Josephine, the marriage of Maria Theresa, the banishment of the Emperor to Elba, his return, the hundred days, the battle of Waterloo, and final departure of Napoleon to St. Helena. These various and strange events are all noticed in review by our spirited memoir-writer ; but we pass by them, in order to afford room for Ws intensely interesting details •of his well-known flight from the dungeon of Paris : .6 Dinner was at last brought up. Just as we were go ing to sit down to table, an old nurse of our's, Madame Dutoit, who had accompanied Josephine, came in very id. Madame de Lavallette had left her in the reeistering room, intending t o sen d h e r aft e r me when I should be gone ; but the heat of the German stove and her emotion bad made her so ill, and she had so long insisted on seeing me once more, that the turnkey let her in without the per mission of the jailer. Far from being useful to us, the poor woman only added to our confusion. She might lose her presence of mind at the sight of nay disguise; but what was to be done? The first object was to make her cease her moanines, and Emilie said to her in a low b u t firm voice, No childishness. Sit down to table, but do not eat; hold your tongue, and keep this smelling bottle to yen- nose. In less than an hour you will be in the open air.' " This meal, which to all appearance was to be the last of my life, was terrible. The bits stopped in our throats ; not a word was uttered by any of us, and in that situation we were to pass almost an hour. Six and three quarters struck at last. I only want five mi nutes, but I must speak to Bonneville,' said Madame de Lavallette. She pulled the bell, and the valet-de-ehambre came in ; she took him aside, whispered a few words to him, and added aloud, Take care that the chairmen be at their posts; for I am coming. —Now,' she said to me, it is time to dress.' " A part of my room was divided off by a screen, and formed a sort of dressing-closet. We stepped behind the screen, and, while she was dressing me with charming presence of mind and expedition, she said to me, Do not forget to stoop when you go through the doors ; walk slowly through the registering-room, like a person ex hausted with fatigue.' In less than three minutes my toi let was complete. We went back to the room, and Emilie said to her daughter, What do you think of your father?' A smile of surprise and incredulity escaped the poor girl: lam serious, my dear, what do you think of him ?' I then turned round, and advanced a few steps : ' He looks very well,' she answered ; and her head fell again, op pressed, on her bosom. We a. , 1 advanced in silence towards the door. I said to The jailer conies in every evening after you are gone. Place yourself behind the screen, and make a little noise, as if you were moving some piece of furniture. He will think it is I, and will again.g u i n a d o e u r t stoodme, By that means I shall gain a few minutes, which ar e absolutely necessary for me to get away.' She and I pulled the bell. Adieu!' she said, raising her eyes to Heaven. I pressed her arm with my 4retubling band, and we exchanged a look. if we hail embraced, we had been ruined. The turnkey was heard ; Emilie flew behind the screen ; the door opened ; I passed first, then my daughter, and lastly Madame Dutoit. After having crossed the passage, I arrived at the door of the registering-room. I was obliged, at the same time, to raise my foot and to stoop lest the feathers of my bonnet should catch at the top of the door. I succeeded ; but, on raising myself again, I found myself in the large apart ment, in the presence of five turnkeys, sitting, standing, and coming in my way. I put my handkerchief to my face, and was waiting for my daughter to place herself on my left hand. The child, however, took my right hand ; and the jailer, coming down the stairs of his apartment, which was on the left hand, came up to me without bin aHrien,apsia)eidaretdommueei,, dranec, and, putting h ea is ri l y it , in A d k o d n am m e y ., affected, ffe o ctei a l, re a g nd oin u g ndoubtedly thought my wife had taken an everlasting leave of her husband. It has been said, that my daughter and I sobbed aloud : the fact is, we scarcely dared to sigh. lat last reached the end of the room. A turnkey sits there day and night, in a large arm-chair, and in a space so narrow, that he can beep his bands on the keys of two doors, one of iron bars, and the other towards the outer part, and which is called the first wicket. This man looked at me without opening his doors. I passed my right hand between the bars, to shew him I wished to go out. He turned, at last, his two keys, and we goi out. There my daughter did not mistake again, but took my right arm. We had a few steps to ascend to come to the yard ; but, at the bottom of the staircase there is a guard-house f gendarmes. About twenty sol diers, headed by their officer, had placed themselves a few paces from me to see Madame de Lavallette pass. At last, I slowly reached the last step, and went into the chair that stood a yard or two distant. But no chairman, no servant was there. My daughter and the old woman remained thfka i s • t e ati ri: i ;e , ;d w dnaittn i rh t et h atcoottlev a idainnri s tdun e ossg n wkl t ieea r t sentry at six paces standing next ettooh t if o (y:a t ele h og e ooit from them, immoveable, and his eyes fixed on me.

I felt as if I possessed the strength of ten men ; and I would most certainly have killed whoever had at tempted to lay hands on me. This terrible situation lasted about two minutes ; but they seemed to me as long as a whole night. At last I heard Bonneville's voice saying to me , One of the chairmen was not punctual, but I have found another.' At the same instant, I felt myself raised. The chair passed through the great court, and, on getting out, turned to the right. We proceeded to the Quai des Ores r e ; , and my facing the Rue de Harlay. There the chair stoppedfriend Baudus, offering me his arm, s aid aloud, You kn o w, Madam, you have a visit to pay to the President.' I got out, and lie pointed to a cabriolet acid a that stood at som e di stance i n th a t d ar k street. I jump e d fv into it, and the d r i ver sa id to me , Give me my whip.'

No, indeed, f will not compromise you.' `Then I shall set you the example, and woe to whoever shall attempt to step your flight.'" THE CORONATION. (From the Observer.) PREPARATIONS IN THE INTERIOR OF THE AB.HEY. We have already stated thst gaqeries advtnce from al the vaultings or nunneries. Those within the cheir are appropliated to persons to whom tickets will be issued from the Earl Marshal's office. Those without are private properi,', pod will be devoted to persona paying for their admission. On approaching the choir= ftom the 6aVe, the first oh ;'ect that presents itself is a beautiful Oothic screen, which encloses the, organ and organ loft, where the rAtuticiarts un , ler the directiod of Sir George Smart, arc to Lc E ta. tioned. This screen has r.ll appearance of solid ma ,nry, and has been pa:wed by Mr. It".`ini , t, the celebrated painter of the Colosseum, with exquisite :Cite ,r on the ;me side a full-length figure of Flenry 111. ; and od the other, a figure of Zetr,Tato the Confessor, with appropri ate shields. nis screen dpetaTe.a as a sort of sounding hoard to the music, and a-sists t r nfining the sound within the choir: . On entering the aerie, the floor of which is covered with purple cloth, enclosed ratges of scats appear on each side for the great officers of state and the household. In alvance is seen " the Theatre," which stands between the transept!, and in this are raised two platforms, one as cended by five steps, end the other by three; on these are placed the chairs of state er thrones for the King and Queen—the King's on the higher, and the Queen's on the lower, to the left. These platforms to the base of the first step are covered with cloth of gold, and from thence to the flooring of the Theatre with rich Wilton carpet. The Theatre is aproached by several eteps from the choir, up which the procession will move. Oa crossing the theatre their Majesties tt•lli arrive at the s.tcrarium in front of the altar, where the Corm:stion dial's ate place'', beautifully renovated and prepared for the occasion. On the right, looking to the altar, is the box f.a. the Princesses of the Royal Family ; and en the left, a bench tor the Bishops. The attar it-elf is sur rounded by a beautiful Gothic gilt frame, the back bring covered with purple and gold silk. The sacrarium on the left, as well as the bark on etch side the altar, is hung with coronation damask. The box for the Princessea is !inerl with crimson sarcenet, and the front hung with crimson damask, while the top is decorated with a Gothic gilt cornice, the whole having a chnete and very elegant effect. The altar table and offering table, Irish their pil lows, are covered with purple and gold silk. The floor of the sacrarium Is covered with a rich purple and gold carpet. Above the altar, and reaching - nearly to the vaultings, are amphitheatrical seats, intended for the accommodation of the Members of the House of Commons, with a chair for the Speaker in front. To the right, as you look to the altar, above the Princesses' box, is a box set ap rt for the immediate accommodation of their Majesties' friends ; and opposite to this, above the bench of Bishops, is a box devoted to the foreign Princesses and Ambassadors. In the transepts terminating at the edge of the theatre, are seats rising one above the other, ten in number, for the reception of the Peers and Peeresses, the Peers on his Majesty's side, and the Peeresses next her Majesty. Above these are a succession of sea's for the reception of the friends of the Peers and Peeresses. These stretch back to the great windows, and above those again is a new gallery level with the vaubings, capable of accommo dating a large additional number of visiters, and for the first time erected in the Abbey. There are double galle ries on each side of the choir, as well as large galleries on each side of the transepts, one of which, that on the left of the Queen, and fronting the Peeresses, is the box of the Lord Great Chamberlain. The whole are covered with crimson cloth, and the vaulting galleries are protected by double iron railing, to prevent accident. Nothing, in fact, could have been more admirably contrived for se curing the greatest quantity of space, with the least pos sible interference with the general harmony of the scene : 5,000 sitting places have thus been secured, to which tickets will be issued from the office of the Earl Marshal— a labour of no trifling character, when combined with the other arduous duties of that department. The Peers and Peeresses will be admitted by the great Western door, autl the other visiters by avenues which will be distinctly specified on their tickets. All will have to be in their places early, and the doors will be opened at four o'clock in the morning, as after nine o'clock they will he closed. The means of obtaining refreshment will be provided, and females will be in attendance to affird the requisite assistance to the ladies. Nothing, in fact, will be omitted to render the accommodation complete. A platform, with a cover, will extend .from Poets'- corner to Palace-yard, and from thrnce in a lateral direc tion opposite the waiting-room of the House of Commons, through which the Members with their officers will pass to their places. We have not heard of any amusements provided for the public by way of diversion, nor can we learn that any such are intended. There is, however, to be a general illumi nation at night ; for which purpose the public offices are making the necessary preparations. All business, we be lieve., will be suspended for the day, and a universal tes'ival prevail throughout the country. Artillery ill be stationed in the park and elsewhere, to fire the customary salutes. The course of the procession will be lined with military,, and the streets fresh gravelled for the occasion ; and, should the weather prove favourable, the exhibition, we have no doubt, will prbve most gratifying. At the last Coronation the visiters to the Abbey and Hall all wore court dresses; but on this occasion there is no restriction, except that no person will be admitted in mourning. All will bt expected to go in full morning dress, except those who will hive to assume the costume of their rank, as Peers and Peeresses. The sum granted by Parliament for the present Coro- ' nation is 50,000!. An expectation exists that an oratorio will be given in the Abbey after the Coronation, for the benefit of St. George's Hospital, at which the whole of the Coronation music will be performed. This will, we have no doubt, prove productive to the funds of this in stitution, as well as afford an additional gratification to the pubic. A grand rehearsal of the ceremony ti ill take place on Wednesday, previous to which Sir George Smart will not have arrived from Ireland, where he is engaged at a mu sical meeting. It is impossible to close this prefatory sketch of the approaching ceremonial without paying a just tribute of praise to Sir George Nayler and his assistants, for their urbanity and indefatigable exertions during the progress of their labours hitherto. They have yet a most arduous task to perform. Messrs. Martyr have undertaken the carpenters' work by contract, the Dean having agreed to accept a sum of money for the customary perquisite of the fitments. At the conclusion of the ceremony the timber becomes the property of the contractors, and the same arrangement as far as possible has been made, we believe, with Messrs. Bayley and Saunders. Her Majesty's crown, which is extremely magnifieent, will he decorated with her own jewels, which she gra ciously prefer red to putting the public to the extreme of hiring for the day, a plan adopted at the last Coronation at an immense expence; indeed, we doubt whether the whole expence of the present Coronation will exceed the expence of the King's crown alone at the last. EAST INDIA COMPANY'S TEA SALE.— This morning the quarterly sale of Teas commenced at the India House. The quantity declared for sale, including private trade, is not less than 8,000,000 lbs. ' Of the several descriptions of Tea now on sale there were 1,500,000 lbs. of Bolles, 5,000,000 lbs. of Congou, Campoi, Pekoe, and Souchong ; 1,200,00011 m. of Twan kay and Hyson skin, and 300,000 lbs. of Hyson. The inerease in the declaration is in Twankay and Hyson Teas. The sale of Teas is rapidly on the increase, and notwithstanding the large amount of the declaration, there was a brisk demand for Boheas in the commencement of the sale this morning—fine qualities fetching from Is. 911. to Is. 10d. per lb., exclusive of the duty. Tee sale is not expected to close for a fortnight at least. The sale, it is understood, will not be proceeded with on Thursday, on account of the Coronation. The attendance of persons engaged in the trade was numerous to-day. RYDE, SEPT. 2.—Our regatta, which w a s originally instituted in order annually to reward thole boatmen, who kept their wherries and sails in the best con dition, took place on Monday, August 29, under the most favourable auspices, both as regarded the weather, the .amount of the funds, and the Royal and Noble con tributors ; his MAJESTY sent his usual annual suh scription of twenty guineas ; her Royal Higlines • the Duchess of KENT t n guineas, the Marquis of Ex, TER, Earl SPENCER, Lied VERNON, &c. were also among the list of s ubscribers. The d,y was particularly fine, and the company on the pia- far more numerous than on any former occasion. Her Itiyal Highness the Duchess of KENT and Princess VICTORIA were off Ryde in their yacht, and re ceived by the fleet at Spithead with a Royal salute, and were all saluted from ityde. The regatta gave the greatest satisfaction, the boats were in admir,ble order, and their excellent management proved the great n :utieal skill of the !nen ; indeed the superior excellence of the Ryde wherries I is generally allowed. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Standard, alluding to our notice of Mr. Bentley's letter, is pleased to observe that " seem , , from the specimen we have seen of it, to he ineffAbly stupid," and then, after quoting part of the passage in our article, goes on to say : " Now this would he an a very fair analogy, if hums of land con►ld be multiplied as indefinitely as wine-houses can he; and if, in consequence, there would be always mote land to let than persons desirous of taking it. In such Cise, if Squire A would not resign to his tenants all t h, advarrages of the abolition of tithe, Squire B would or Squire C, or some other squire in the alphabet, whose hod !song on /mod. Competition, in short, would do what competition always does—compel the proprietor of th e commodity in excess to submit to the limited number of demand►nte. " Unfortunately, however, farms cannot be indefinitely multiplied as wine-shops can; and, unfortunately too, the excess in revert to farms is on the side of demand—and therefore the squire have, and will have, the power of ap propriating t, tlietmelvert whatever shall be gained by tloe plunder of the Church. The squires haven monopoly ; and the road taken by any little profit let loose on the re duction of the duties payable by a monopolized commodity, is pretty well hnown—it is always to the pocket of the monopolist. But let farmers fairly consider the matter in Its trae lieht. Toe lantilord holds the land on the condi tion that it shall pay for him one-tenth of its produce to the Church. The landlord succeeds in discharging, hint self of the condition. Is any farmer fool enough to be lieve that, with the power to choose tenants everywhere, the landlorl will not select the tenants who will leave to him the undisputed enjoyment of the prizt? " With resi - wct to the proposed relief to the farmer by Cue introduction of foreign corn, we had thought, since the last election, the firmer! of Kent stupid enough; but really we should not have insulted them by such a propo sition as that. No doubt the introduction of foreign corn would very much lower rents ; but how would it lower them ? By lowering the price of corn—by ruining the farmer—by banishing even brown bread from his table, and driving him to the diet of his Pomeranian competitor, who, happy man, pays no tithe, and but sixpence an acre rent, and yet wears no shirt, and froM year's end to year's end tastes no better food than fermented cabbage-leaves." With respect, by the bye, to . foreign corn, Mr. Bentley argues on the supposition that it may not be in the power of the landlords to resist the intro duction of foreign corn. The weaver, who, in a cold climate, in which the human body requires more food than in milder regions, receives the same wages with the weavers of France and Italy, is at a loss to understand why he should pay so much for his food. The other classes of labourers often ask themselves, also, why exportation of manufactured goods should he encouraged, while the return is kept as low as possible by the obstacles thrown in the way of ob taining food for them. The farmers have not for gotten the past struggles, and they look forward to euture struggles. As it is, the Corn Laws have not afforded them the protection they were taught to look for from them; white they have introduced the greatest uncertainty into all his operations. There can be no doubt that, while the demand for food in this country exceeds the native supply, and foreign corn is excluded under heavy duties, till the price in the home market attains a great height, the landlords would pocket all that is now paid to the parsons. But the demand does not always ex ceed the native supply, and hence we have glutted inarke.s and bankrupt farmers. No matter what the number of farmers or number of farms; the far mer's payments must be regulated by his receipts. The profits of capital embarked in farming cannot di fer materially from the profits of capital employed in other trades, for there is a tendency in capital always t o. find its level. Now in such a state of things, with tithes abolieled, the landlord could not pocket the burden iu addition to hie rent. The whole question of tithes and rent is very much complicated by the restrictions on the trade in food. Supposing, however, the empire to be dependent entirely on its own resources, it is clear that the tithe must add to the price of food, for the price must not only repay the expellee of labour, but a tenth of the pro duce given to the parson, before the cultivator can venture on fresh land. The poorest land taken into cultivation, if it pay only id. an acre of rent, must pay the tenth of the produce, and the tenth of the produce is added to the price of all food. With respect to the ruin of our farmers by the importation of corn, we wonder our contemporary did not also observe, that it would take the potatoes from the Irish farmers, and leave them nothing. The Irish farmer lives far more meanly than the farmer of any country in the world without exception, and yet we do not find that the heavy importations from Ireland have reduced the English farmer to the Irish level. We repeat, however, that with a free trade in food the landlord cannot pocket the tithe, and that tithe free lands must come down to the level of the others. —Morning Chronicle. The Reform Bill made some progress on Satur day, though we are afraid that its speed was scarcely rapid enough to warrant the belief entertained by Lord Althorp, that it would be able to leap the bar of the Committee and spring into the House with all its amendments on Wednesday. We can scarcely say whether it carries less or more weight than when it passed its second heat, but we are quite sure, that, backed as it was by its friends in the country, it might long ago have finished its course under a bolder and less scrupulous jockeyship. To change the figure, we shall be happy to see it again in pre sence of the Speaker and the Mace, instead of toil ing through that " Slough of Despond," the - Com mittee, resisted as it was at every step by a host of interested enemies, and perpetually obliged to shake , off the fresh burdens imposed upon it by its pre r tended friends. Its Parliamentary supporters will • be equally delighted to be relieved from their nightly E task, and to recover the enjoyment of their Satur day holiday. A long contest of words, or what the late Lord Castlereagh would have called " a field: ' day," is threatened on the bringing up of the re port; but as the tenancy-at-will, the division of county clauses, and some others which we are desi rous of seeing altered, have been already amply dis cussed, we are not aware of any grounds fora length ened debate. The 'greater part of Saturday's sit ting—the last Saturday, we hope, on which the Committee will be required to sit—was most use ' lessly employed in discussing the 31st clause, already sufficiently discussed. The 32d clause was .agreed ' to without a division; and the remainder of the crises,, though numerous, being of a regulamen tary, or executive, rather than of an essential kind, need not occasion any protracted deliberation. — Times. 0 While the borough-system has been slowly sur rendered by its advocates, in so far only as it. was brought to the test of any of those theories of -re presentation by virtue of which alone representation i•self could be vindicated on grounds of common sense or reasoning, the same gentlemen have stickled for the good and useful " working of the system," and have referred to our history, domestic and fo reign, in justification of this singular mode of de fence. With regard to our home politics, the bo rough-system is termed " conservative"—conserva tive—rottenness 7 . preservative of the Throne and the Peers : as if a money-cemented borough-faction might not be on one occasion as ready to conspire for factious purposes against King and Peers, as on others in their favour. The reference to our foreign history is usually an appeal to the late war, to the triumphs of our arms, and to the grand position attained by England in connection with the Holy Alliance. We have just received a little pam phlet, which takes up the Reform questiou in relation to the ramie two principles, and in our opinion makes considerable havoc of the " work well" attributes of rotten boroughs.
