The sensations Pate7.l;heor s experienced was what he little antici ayted ometimes the balloon appeared to be PPo by a current from above, at other times from one below, which so shook the car, that the mountain barometer, although suspend ed to the cords above, was kept in such an oscil lating motion, that he could but just ascertain that he was ascending or descending. Mr. G., in consequence of his engagement to the public to ascend from the Belvidere, Pentonville, was induced to descend before he got so far as might occasion it inconvenient to get the balloon conveyed to town in safety the same evening ; as such, he opened the valve, and descended, twenty minutes before two, in a field of Mr. Lamkins, near Potters Bar, North Mims. The car met the earth with considerable violence, and although he had got hold of the cords above to prevent a concussion, the car struck the earth before he had time to raise hia feet, by which he was thrown down, and received a blow on his head with which he was confused for some time. He was soon surround ed by a number of persons offering him their as sistance, among whom was Mr. Waugh, of Drake's Lodge, South Mims, to whose very polite atten tion Mr. G. cannot make sufficient acknowledg ment. This Gentleman caused the balloon to be conveyed to his Park, and after dinner sent for a post-chaise from Barnet, which conveyed Mr. Green to town, where he arrived in perfect safety and good spirits about six o'clock, and is now en gaged in regulating the balloon for his next as cent.

' THE CORONATION. THE ABBEY. From the limitation of our space we were yes terday precluded from stating many particulars connected with this august solemnity. Betwixt three and four o'clock in the morning the doors of the Abbey were opened to many persons who had at that time been waiting for no inconsiderable period. The decorations of the Choir have already been described, and they shone with redoubled splendour as the light of morning broke upon them for the first time, since they had been cleared of the tools and rubbish of the workmen. The number of the visitors gradually, but slowly, increased usls, to eight o'clock, at which time some of the boices were immediately filled, while others were almost empty. The box, on the eastern side of the Altar, is appropriated to the Foreign Ministers and their retinues. A large gallery immediately , over the Altar, and between that and the Or chestra, was allotted to Peeresses. Neither of these were occupied to any extent previous to the arrival of the procession, and their com parative emptiness threw a solitude about the scene to which all eyes were directed, namely, the Theatre and Chapel, where the cere monies were to be performed, which only excited feelings that prepared the beholder to view that which was to come with still greater ecstacy and astonishment. The first note of preparation from without the Abbey was heard at half-past eight, when the procession was preparing to take the Regalia to the Hall, and the King's band played accordingly. Pre vious to this, however, a general feeling of con tempt had been excited by the news of the Queen's arrival outside, and her application to be admitted within the walls of the Abbey. The hootings with which she was assailed upon her appearance at Poets' Corner, were distinctly audible in some of the galleries. About ten o'clock although very few of the Peeresses, or of those belonging to the Foreigners' box had ap peared, there was a considerable display of gaiety, with not an inconsiderable share of beauty present. It was now announced that the procession had set out from the Hall, and all was bustle and joyous expectation. Many a fair eye glistened with the ardour of-loyalty, until the glaring diamond lost its effulgence by the.corn— parison. The benches soon found occupants,and as the procession advanced into the Abbey, the Peeresses also entered their box, which soon became .quite full. The appearance which the dresses and beauty of these Ladies presented, and taking into consideration that they entered in an opposite direction at the same moment, would almost lead to the idea that they in tended to dispute the palm of brilliancy even With the entire marshalled host. The Fo reign Ministers and their Aides de Camp - also entered in a body at this period, and the profusion of orders with which they were covered, with the varied and striking splendour of- their uniforms, altogether produced an effect not amongst the least gorgeous of this magnificent day. But we now come to a part of it which is the life of all. The Royal Canopy was seen through the fine arch of the entrance, moving along in stately grandeur, and winding with the purpled platform, until it came within the walls of the Abbey, and the King of England was seen amongst the highest if not the most devoted sub jects of his realms. But this was a moment at which rank, pride, and all distinction fled before devotion so unrestrained, so unequivocal, that it could not be surpassed in the human heart. The greetings which burst out at the first recognition of his Majesty, were continually reiterated during his progress up the nave and aisle, as if in mockery of the venerable roof through which they pealed. When the King arrived at his Chair he was greatly exhausted, as well as much affected by the manner in which the hearts of his people had 'declared themselves to be with him. After a short time, however, he became restored from his great fatigue, and put on a dignity and nobleness of demeanour for the rest of the cere mony, which was well worthy the high occasion. When the King entered the Abbey the Prin cesses took their seats in their box, in the follow ing order—The Princess Augusta, the Duchess of Gloucester, Duchess of Clarence, the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Sophia of Gloucester, and the Princess Feodore. Two chairs were placed a little farther to the west in the same box, which were occupied by the Duke of Saxe Meinengen (who led the Princesses to their seats) and by Prince Leopold.—His Majesty did not sign the declaration, as he had signed it before the two Houses of Parliament on the 27th of April, 1820. When his Majesty was invested with the Sword, the ceremony required that he should offer it on the Altar ie the scabbard. But his Majesty drew the resplendent • blade. He was informed by one of the officers that the ritual required the sword should be offered in the scabbard, and he im mediately restored it to the sheath. The only re freshment that his Majesty took in the sacrarium during the ceremony was a small glass of lemonade, which was handed to him by the Bishop of Durham. —His Majesty frequently, during the ceremony, found it necessary to apply his handkerchief to his face ; the heat of the weather, the length of the journey from the .llall to the Abbey, and the monstrous weight of his robes, having com bined to render exertion more irksome. It was evident that lie felt great inconvenience, although his features were never once changed from a smile. The Bishop of Durham, and occasionally one of his Majesty's personal attendants, sup plied him fresh handkerchiefs.—The Bishop of Durham also gave his Majesty a scented hand- PRICE SEVENPENCE kerchief, which was presented to the Prelate.by the Princess Augusta. His Majesty, who had, upon his entrance, recognised several of the Peeresses in a very warm manner, bowed on all sides, and kissed hands to several of the Nobility. The King was crowned at half past one o'clock. When the Crown was put on his head, Sir T. Tyrwhitt ascended the platform of the Theatre, and made a signal with his rod to a Navy Officer who was stationed in the tower of the Abbey over the Throne. The Officer was looking out through a small window that was prepared for the occasion, and he immediately communicated the signal without, when the guns were fired. --t. A great "dumber of the Peeresses and other spec tators- left the Abbey during the homage. That service collected around his Majesty all the prin cipal personages in the ceremony ; and many per sons thinking the ceremony then over, went to resume their places in the Hall. This caused a great derangement in the appearance of the Abbey, during the Communion and Post Com munion service.—Peers and Military Officers, and persons in court dress, were all mingled together, and there was nothing like that splen dour of prospect which was so remarkably fine during _the previous part of the ceremony.— The Ladies in the gallery seemed very well dis posed to take whatever refreshments they could get. The Marquess of Buckingham happened to sit in view of the Duchess of Rutland,and he asked her Grace whether she had had any thing to eat. Her Grace answered that she had not, and ex pressed her readiness to receive any thing in the way of charity which his Lordship was disposed to offer. His Lordship said he would send her some thing by his Esquire, anA accordingly he did send her a dish witha pair of roast fowl and a bottle of Madeira, which her Ladyship divided with her fair and distinguished neighbour; - . Several gen tlemen found access to the recesses under the galleries, where they obtained, by whatever means they could, meat, and Burgundy, and Champagne, in great abundance. It was amus ing to observe the species of licensed plunder that went forward in these recesses : one gentle man removing the bread from his neighbour's plate, and the wine from his glass, and heavenging him self, with equal good humour, on some other per son. Some Peeresses were also in these recesses, and it is due to them to state that they shared such offerings as were brought to them from the table in the most frank and hospitable way.— Among the company in the galleries we noticed several families of distinction.• Shortly before the procession returned to the Hall, the celebrat ed Sir Walter Scott entered at the south side, with Lady and Miss Scott, from the Abbey: It was not without some difficulty, and being obliged to parade the Hall twice or thrice, under the escort of a few pages, that the worthy Baronet obtained a seat. Very many Members of the Opposition in the House of Commons were also in the gallery ; and several old Members were amongst the pages. THE SERMON. The Archbishop of York having ascended the pulpit, proceeded to preach his Sermon as soon as the beginning of the Communion service had been read. The text was taken from the twenty third chapter of the second book of Samuel, part of the third and fourth verses : " He that rulcth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God." " And lie shall be as the light of the morning when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds." From the situation in which we were placed, it was impos sible for us to hear one sentence in five of the discourse of the Right Reverend Prelate. As far, however, as we could connect the scattered passages which fell upon our ears entice, its object was to enforce the necessity set forth by the inspired Prophet who uttered these words of the text, and to shew how indispen sable to the happiness of a people and their Sovereign, was a mutual attachment and love of justice towards each other.— There should be justice between nation and nation, there should be justice between man and man, there should be justice be. tween the Sovereign and the people. It was but just that Rulers should remember the principles of equity by which alone they ought to govern • and it was not less so that people should bear in mind the obedience which was due from them to the laws and institutions of a country. No nation was ever happy at home or respectable abroad, unless its laws were administered with prudence and with equity to all. But whenever the mass of a people became corrupted, no Legislature could secure their happiness or make provision for the attainment of justice. He then alluded to the manifold trials and difficulties at. tendant upon the kingly office, and expatiated upon the calculable benefits arising toe nation from the sway of a wise and virtuous Sovereign. The services which he rendered to a State could not be overpaid by the largest revenues or the highest honours. He then extolled the virtues of the monarchs of the House of Brunswick, and particularly those of his late Majesty. Under his reign, England was seen standing up with firmness amidst the wreck almost of a surrounding world, when nearly every other nation had been shaken to its very centre. On the Son and Successor of that venerable King now rested our hopes. And if we might build our hope of the future upon the experience which had been af forded by the past, there was just ground for looking forward to an eventful era in the history of the country, and to one in which religion and the laws would flourish, and gain stability and strength. The Sovereign whom they that day saw crowned had already been tried. When he was first called to the exer cise of the Royal Power, he fount the country involved in a war which threatened its very existence. Then he pursued a glorious course, leaving nothing undone which magnanimity might accomplish ; and always unsubdued by the dazzling splendour of ambition, he pursued a vigorous and unremitting war as the only means Of ensuring the security of a lasting peace. Under the circumstances of difficulty which had borne upon him upon his assumption of the Government, the country hp.cl seen how he had acted. It was for these reasons that he ex pected from the present Sovereign a long line of firm' and pm dent policy. Let them then implore the Almighty to 'accept and confirm the solemn choice which they had that day made. To multiply to the object of their choice, all his blessings; and so to direct and prosper all his actions, that they may tend ta the welfare of his people and to the maintenance of trae religion. THE ILLUMINATIONS. [Omitted yesterday for want of room.] The following is a description of the principal illuminations, on Thursday : The Admiralty.—Over the front of the centre gate, on a co loured plateaux, were the words, " God save the King," with a large G. at one end, and It. at the other, in dazzling amber coloured lamps ; on an elevated frame work appeared a large Anchor and Cable, formed of variegated lamps, on each side was an Union Jack, and above, at a great height, was a very large Crown, the various colours of which appeared like a beautiful piece of jewellery. Horse Guards.—Both the street and Park fronts were illumi nated alike, having G. IV. It on coloured plateaux, and a Crown over, on a plateaux painted in colours to correspond with the variegated lamps placed thereon. This, from the dis. posal of the lamps, and the brilliancy and tastefulness of the design, had a happy effect. The Treasury corresponded in every respect, both in the street and Park fronts, with the Horse Guards. _ _ Secretary of State's Office Downing-street —The whole front was brilliantly illuminated. G. IV. R. was in very large letters along the first floor 9 • on the second floor there was an Im perial Crown of the most brilliant lamps, which from the daz zling variety of colours shone like jewellery. This was orna mented on each side with a branch of olive, formed of green lamps. The Transport Office had G. R. a Crown over and a Star of the most brilliant radiance at top, enclosed within a circle of palm. formed of green lamps. Ordnance Office, Pall Mall.—This exceeded in beauty all the Government Offices. Along the front over the iron balcony was a wooden railing,forming a likeness of a strong fortification, with port holes ; on the front of this were various devices. llis Majesty's initials, with a crown of very great dimensions re flecting all the colours of the rainbow, stars of great magnitude with brilliant rays, two cornucopias, and several ornamental devices of lamps, formed into wreaths, draperies and festoons. The two wings were illuminated to correspond; the windows edged with small lamps. The Royal Mint—This noble building made a grand appear ance in the yard in front of the building ; between the building and the palisadoes there were poles erected, between which there was a large boarded plateaux for the lamps; the device was G. R. a Star on each side, IV. between the G. R. enclosed in a circle of coloured lamps, a crown over, and a drapery of small lamps on each side, extending to each end. This had an admirable appearance. Trinity-House, Tower-hill.—His Majesty's initials in bril liant lamps, a crown between, and some ornamental devices in coloured lamps. - The Custom-house was ornamented with G. R. a crown over, and festoons of small lamps underneath. Somerset-house, Strand.—ln front of the first floor over the gateway, this noble and extensive building had boarded pla teaux on the windows, with his Majesty's initials G. IV. It. and an imperial crown over the IV. was inciosed within a wreath of pahn ; from the size of those letters and the bril liancy of the lamps and colouring, this had to rank, though simple in design, with the most beautiful illuminations in town. The Excise Office in Broad-street made a fine display, be ing illuminated with a profusion of wax torches, which shed a most powerful light. The Royal Exchange had on the centre of the principal front in Cornhill, his Majesty's initials with IV. between, surmount ed with a regal crown of great brilliancy,. a diamond, star, and festoon of variegated lamps on either side, which extended the whole front of the building. The back part or North-side (of Lloyd's) was decorated with festoons, and in the centre the new Crown, with the letters G. R. IV. ; to which .were added some brilliant stars. The adjoining part of the piemises, occupied by the Royal Exchange Assurance Company, was similarly illuminated, and made a very grand appearance ; but the front of the building was not uniformly illuminated, on account of being prevented by the scaffolding which is now up for the repairs. The Bank of England, Threadneedle-street front.—The eight pillars on each side the principal entrance were wreathed all round with small lamps from the bottom to the top ; be tween each pillar was a brilliant star ; over each window, and along the cornices, were double rows of small amber coloured lamps ; over the entrance the Imperial Crown, encircled within a wreath of olive; this had a magnificent appear a n ce . Post Office, Lombard-street front, had the entrance gate arched over with double rows of small lamps, on each side of which were ornamental devices of coloured lamps. His Ma jesty's initials surmounted by a regal Coronet of dazzling bril liancy.
