' The Commander-in-Chief has received the King's gracious command to express to the troops employed yesterday, in aid of the arrangements for the Coronation, his Majesty's thanks for the orderly, soldier-like, and exemplary conduct which they have evinced upon the occasion. The Commander—in-Chief has received the King's further command, through the Secretary of State, to convey to the Light Horse Volunteers, the Honourable Artillery Company, the Ist and 2d Bucks, the Surrey, and Berkshire Yeomanry Cavalry, his Majesty's thanks for their services upon the same occasion, and his full sense and approbation of the loyalty and zeal which they have manifested in the off er of th em . By command of his Royal Highness, the Commander-in-Chief, H. TORRENS, Adj.-Gen. Yesterday morning a field-day took place, of the Scotch Greys and Lancers, at Wormwood Scrubs and Hyde Park, preparatory to the review this morning and Wednesday. - • The Pilot, Sophia, and Success transports, with part of the 85th regiment on board, w hi c h sa il e d from Portsmouth on the 17th ult. were all well, in sight of Gibraltar, on the 20th, after a fine passage of 11 days, on their way to the lonian Islands. The Albury transport, with part of the 15th regiment from Halifax, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday. The Importer, with another detachment of the same regiment, may be hourly expected, having parted company the day before. It is in contemplation to establish a Steam-packet from Ply mouth to Portsmouth ; the voyage will occupy from twelve to fourteen hours. Passengers, taking coach immediately on their arrival at the latter place, may thus perform the distance from Plymouth to London in 24 hours. Yesterday, the Royal Mid Lothian Yeomanry Cavalry, un-. dell the command of Major Sir John Hope, Baronet, were reviewed on Portobello Sands, by his Excellency the Com mander-in-Chief. The regiment went through various evolutions and charges, with great steadiness and preci sion, and received from the Commander-in-Chief warm expressions of his high opinion of their appearance and disci pline.—On Tuesday, the 17th, the Royal Regiment of Fife. shire Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel J. A. Thomson, were reviewed on Kirkcaldy Sands, by Major- General Sir Thomas Bradford, K.C.B. Commander of the forces in North Britain, who was pleased to state, that it gave him the !greatest pleasure and satisfaction to observe that this corps so fully maintained the high opinion he had last year expressed of its order, steadiness and precision in performing its various evolutions ; and adverted particularly. in terms of the highest approbation, to the persevering and praise-worthy exertions of the officers and m en , .which had brought .the regiment-to its present excell en t state of discipline; exertions ;which their conduct on that occasion evinced had been crowned with the most perfect success. The novelty of Lancers in this description' of troops adds much to the in terest which this corps has excited, which is one of the most effective in Britain.—(Edinburgh Courant, July 21.) WHALE FISHERY.-Sir WILLIAM CONGREVE having, at his own expense, sent out some of his rockets, on board the Fume whaler, Captain SCORESBY, under the idea that they - might be rendered extremely important in the whale fisheries, the following brief communication of the success of the experiment, just received, can not but be interesting to the Public:— " Ship Fame, — all well, 24th June, 1821,1 at. 74. 40. long. 14. W. amongst open ice and fish. " Sir WII.LIA➢I CONGREVE will no doubt rejoice, nay, letp mast high, on hearing that the advantage to the nation is likely to be very great, on account of his rockets being appliel in killing the whale. It succeeds beyond expectation. " The results will be explained on arrival of his most obe dient humble servant, _ " WM. SCORESBY." An Officer of Artillery, Lieut. COLQUBOUN, and two marine artillery men were permitted to ac company this experiment, by the Master General of the Ordnance, and the First Lord of the Ad miralty, and it is confidently presumed, that the public encouragement thus given to the enter prise, will not be disappointed in a national point of view. TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN. At the commencements held in our University on. Tuesday. the 10th, the following gentlemen "of Cork City and County " obtained the Degree of Bachelor of Arts :"—Hon. Mr. King titin to the Earl of Kingston), Langer Carey, Edward Carey, Montgomery, Forrest, Richard Lane, --O'Rielly, and P. C. ToomeyEsqrs. Mn. RICHARD T HOMAS PEMBROCX POPE.—We rejoice at having - an opportunity of adding one more distinguished name to the list of young Gentlemen of this City who re; en ly attained . academic honours. Mr. R. T. P. Pope, the son of our justly esteemed fellow citizen, Thomas Pope, Esq., re ceived lately three Divinity Prizes—one very high premium for excellent answering in a strict, extensive, and most im portant examination—another of not less value, for a com position of extraordinary merit, upon a subject proposed-- and another for extemporaneous speaking upon a subject given on the instant. Many of the most eminent persons in the kingdom were present—distinguished as much for learning and piety as for high station--amongst whom was the Archbishop of Dublin. Mr. Pope's great powers were the objects of um versal admiration, One of the heads of the College was heard to declare, that he never had witnessed, nor never expected to witness, in so young a person, such extensive and profound knowledge on religious subjects, such strength of intellect ii judging of difficult points, and such elegance of composition, as were exhibited by this young Gentleman. —Mr. P. is, we understand, intended for the Church, of which he is likely to become a brilliant ornament.—(Cork Chronicle.) The timber work of the Abbey, Westminster hall, the platform, and the barriers, was 60,000 square feet, or 1,500 loads. The timber used in erecting theatres and stages inarectly connected with the Coronation has been estimated at 80,000 square feet. The matting used on ac count of the Coronation was 14,000 yards. POETRY, THE MOTHER AND CHILD. 'Twas on a cliff whose rocky base Baffled the briny wave ; Whose cultur'd heights their verdant store To many a tenant gave, A mother, led by rustic cares, Had wandered with her child ; Unwean'd the babe—yet on the grass He frolicked and he smil'd. With what delight the mother glow'd To mark the infant's jdy, How oft would pause, amid her toil, To contemplate her boy Yet soon by other cares estrang'd, Her thoughts the child forsook, Careless he wanton'd on the ground, Nor caught his mother's look. Crop'd was each flower that caught his eye Till scrambling o'er the green, lie gain'd the clifF's unshelter'd edge, And pleas'd survey'd the scene. 'Twas now the mother from her toil Turn'd to behold her child ; The urchin gone ! her cheeks were flush'd, Her wandering eye %Vas wild ! - She saw him on the cliff's rude brink— Now careless peeping o'er— He turn'd, then to his mother smil'd, Then sported as before. Sunk was her voice—'twas vain to fly— 'Twas vain the brink to brave—.. Oh Nature ! it was thine alone To prompt the means to save. She tore the kerchief from her breast, And laid her bosom bare ; He saw delighted—left the brink, And ran to banquet there ! Dxvorr. REGISTER OF FASHION. FASHIONABLE PARTIES.

The orchestra is over the altar where his Majesty was crowned, in cluding all the seats set apart for the peeresses combined with the orchestra used at the corona- tion. The performers amount to upwards of two hundred ; at the head of the vocal department were Madame Camporese and Mrs. Salmon. The band was ably led by Mr. Cramer; Mr. Attwood presided at the organ. The whole was conducted by Mr. Greatorex. The music to be performed is a selection from the most eminent authors. _ On Saturday, at one o'clock in the afternoon, a Meeting of the Proctors took place in the Hall of Doctors' Commons, when the Answer of Lord STOWELL (late Sir W. SCOTT) to the congratu latory Address, which was voted to him last week by this body, was read. His Lordship acknow ledged in handsome terms the honour conferred upon him by the approbation and good wishes of so many gentlemen who had been witnesses of his professional conduct for a long series of years, and expressed the high gratification he experi enced in the possession of their favourable opi nions. His Lordship adverted to his recent elevation to the Peerage, and to the high sense he entertained of the distinction which his Ma jesty had been graciously pleased .to confer on him. The Address and the Ans wer were both ordered to be enrolled in the Registry of the Admiralty. ROYAL COURTESY.—When M. Denon was once expatiating to Bonaparte on the merits of a, picture, and happened to drop the word immortal —" How long," interrupted Bonaparte, "may a picture last ?" —" About six hundred years !" " Bah !" cried he, " there's a fine immortality!" l. -- Louis XVIII. once asked the Duke of 'Wellington his age. " Sire," answered the Duke, " I was born in 1769." And so was Bonaparte,' replied the King: ' Providence owed us that recompence.' Messrs. IfunsT, ROBINSON, and Co. are happy to announce, that TOMKINS'S Picture Lottery will be.drawn on Saturday next, the 28th inst.

BOW-STREET.— Yesterday Hugh Rogers, a young man of respectable appearance,was brought up in custo dy of Salmon, one of the principal officers, by whom he was ap prehended on Sunday last, under a charge of obtaining money under false pretences. The charge was for defrauding George Dykes, a labouring carpenter, residing in Fisher-street, Bed Lion-square, of two bill s o f exchange for 601. each, which he had been induced to give to the prisoner, in consequence of hi s representation that he would o bt a i n for him a. situation in the Excise. This however he failed to do, and refused to return the bills ; upon which Dykes obtained a warrant against him, and had him apprehended. He was remanded until Thursday. MARLBOROUGH STREET.—A boy of 15 years of age was charged with robbing a Lady of the name of Manning of her ridicul?, containing two sovereigns. The- prosecutrix was attacked at mid-day in High-street, St. Giles's ' by the pri soner and another boy, w h o sna t c h e d t h e - ridicule from her. The prisoner was secured by Bartlett, the beadle: He was fully committed for trial. • The LORD CHANCELLOR, we are sorry to state 7 sprained his ancle at the Coronation. His _ _ Lordship sent a message yesterday morning to Lincoln's Inn Hall, stating that he should not be able to sit in the Court of Chancery for some days. PREFERMEN T.—The Rev. Dr. Rudge, of Limehous e , wrs on Tuesday unanimously elected by the inhabitants - of St. Se pulchre to succeed the late Rev. Air. Moore as Sunday Evening Preacher or Lecturer. T wen ty-fi ve of the Yeomen of the Guards, and twenty of the Gentlemen Pensioners, are said to be selected to accompany his MAJESTY to Ireland. DO VVTON is now making a p ro f ess ionatour in the northern part of the kingdom. Last week he made his first appearance at the Newcastle Theatre, ,in the character of Sir Anthony Ab solute. ST. PETER'S Fisu.—The two dark spots a little behind its head, are supposed to have gained the Haddock, in the days of superstition, the credit of being the fish which ,St. Peter caught with the tribute money in its mouth ; in proof of which the impression of the Saint's finger and thumb has been entailed on the whole race of Haddocks ever since. But, " Adhuc sub judice lis est," as, unfortunately for the tradition, the Haddock is not a Mediterranean fish ; nor can we suppose it to have belonged to the lake Ti berias. The truth is, the Italians consider a very d;f ferent fish, as that which - was sanctified by the Apostle ; and which after him they honour with the name of II Janitore ; a name that we have con verted into Johnny Dory, with the' - same happy ingenuity that has twisted the girasole or turnsol into a Jerusalem Artichoke.

The House was well attended in the lower Boxes and in the Pit. He was received on his entrance with very great and repeated ap plause, chiefly from the Pit, where the specta tors rose in a body, and with shouts and waving of hats gave him an enthusiastic welcome. lie is evidently increased in size, and his face is fatter, but not in the least degree to impair its expression. It is observed, in some of the Morning Papers, that traces of fatigue were evi dent in his acting, but, as far as N.•e could judge, he played it with all his former spirit, and cer tainly with all his former peculiarities. As those peculiarities, however, have essentially contrite huted to his success, it would not be policy in him to lay them aside in compliment to the taste and judgment of nicer criticism. His mode of acting is so well known that, having said it does not differ from his former style, it is needless for us to say more than to observe, that from the re ception which he experienced it seems probable that his popularity has not subsided, but is likely to continue. There was some varia tion in the allotment of the other characters. POPE retained that of King Henry, which he supported throughout with the judgment of a ve teran Actor, and with all the feeling that gene rally marks those of a more juvenile period. He was received with the warmth due to an actor of established merit,and who has never been known to be inattentive to his duty.—Richmond was assigned to COOPER, an Actor who has de servedly made his way to public favour, and who sustained the part with characteristic gallantry and spirit. Tressel was allotted to BARNARD, who supported it with due feeling and propriety, Mrs. EGERTON was the Queen, and nothing was wanting in energy. Miss SMITHSON, a young Actress of very promising merit, was the Lady Anne. These changes were rendered necessary by the absence of other performers on provincial engagements. At the end of the Play there was a cry for KEAN, which increased when RUSSELL appeared to announce the Performances intended for this evening, and KEAN therefore appeared. As soon as the applause of his friends and ad mirers permitted him to be heard, he came for ward and expressed himself in the following terms : 0 1 02 3 4 I 1 6 2 " Ladies and Gentlemen,—lt is unnecessary for me to say how incapable lam of expressing the feelings which your re ception of me, in one of my best efforts, has instilled into this breast. The liberality of a British audience will, lam sure, spare me-the necessity of saying more than that during my absence I pursued with consistency the character and pride of an Englishman." This addr e ss was of course very warmly . eceived. He then retired, and RUSSELL an: iounced the future Performances. VAUXHALL. These Gardens were fitted up last night in a style of unusual splendour, for the purpose of celebrating his MAJESTY'S Coronation by a Grand Masked Fete. Nothing was spared, either in the way of decoration, or in the multiplicity and variety of the amusements proper to such oc casions, to render the whole worthy the object of the projectors. The Grand Orchestra in the centre of the gardens was adorned with every species of illuminated lamp, surmounted by a Crown, and exhibiting the Royal Arms in the centre of the front. The frie:e of the covered walk was tastefully decorated with illuminated devices representing national trophies, and other embellishments, emblematical of the national arms of the United Kingdom. The foot of this part of the erections in the rear of the Orchestra displayed a magnificent allego rical transparency appropriately designed and executed in honour of the - occasion. Under this again appeared, written in characters of lire, and running the whole length of that side of tke square, 46 Long live George IV." The different exhibitions for the entertainment of the evening, as we have before observed, were provided with a most prodigal hand. The Rotunda and the long room were fitted up in different parts with stages for the performances of pions. Chalons, the Con juror, Mr. Alexandre, the Ventriloquist, Mr. Wilson, on the Tight Rope,, and Mr. Gyngell, on the Musical Glasses. Of this last we may observe, that nothing could exceed the delight with which Mr. G.'s unrivalled performance on the glasses was received. In other parts of the Garden Mr. G.,had his stage erected with his whole troop, where he continued to exhibit hii Ombres Chinoises, slack-rope, Sic. during the evening. Savoyard, Pandean, Scotch, and other bands, in national costume, paraded the Gardens,. playing the airs of their respective countries; and in short from Punch, including the Fantoccini, up to Ramo Samee, the Indian Juggler, every kind, of scenic representation known in this country,- held a place at this Fete. The- company were re-' galed with rich music from the Orchestra; amongst which was a " Grand National Ode," composed . for the occasion. Notwithstanding the unfavour_ able state of the weather, the company was more numerous than had been expected. About 12; o'clock characters of all descriptions poured in' plentifully. A band of ballad singers, whose music far outshone their apparel, were particu larly remarkable. It would be an endless task to enumerate all those who distinguished them selves—all exerted themselves to the utmost, and succeeded in creating general hilarity. When the supper boxes were thrown open, the whole. company sat down to an unusually good colla tion, consisting of many delicacies, served in profusion. The different performances were kept up in succession till four, after which the' Gardens soon were deserted.—(Morning Post.) MISS WILSON is about to proceed to Italy for" some time.—(Morning Paper.) The operatic play of Don John is getting up at the Dublin Theatre, for the purpose of intro ducing Miss STEPHENS in the same character that she appeared in at Covent Garden.
