THE CORONATION. WESTMINSTER ABBEY.—We are happy in stat ing, that in consequence of urgent representa tions made by Sir GEORGE NAYLER, it has been determined to keep Westminster Abbey open to public view, not only this week, hut also on Mon day, Tuesday, and Wednesday in the ensuing week, notice of which will be given to-morrow. We are informed that previous to this determina tion upwards of ten thousand applications - for tickets were in one day made to Sir G. NAYLER. WESTMINSTER HALL.-The crowds of visitants to view the interior of Westminster Hall and the Abbey exceed all belief. The number of tickets issued' for the Abbey yesterday exceeded 7,000. Such was the great heat in the Hall, that several ladies fainted away, but by prompt assistance were soon recovered. Lord GWYDYR, with the same considerate attention to the accommodation of the public which has marked his conduct throughout the whole of the ceremonial, has pro vided, at the ends of each table next the steps . leading to the Throne, cans of water, and tum blers to drink out of. Many persons, particu larly ladies, took an exhilirating draught of the cooling beverage. The platform between the Hall and the Abbey is now entirely removed, except that part near the Hall. A number of sol diers have been on duty for some days, in order to prevent any depredations upon the materials. The Light Horse Volunteers, who during his MAJESTY'S Coronation were stationed in Old Palace-yard, have received the following testi monial of their services : (Copy.) " Whitehall, 20th July, 1821. " am commanded by the King to express to you, and to desire that you will convey to the corps under your corn. mand, the high sense entertained by his Majesty of the good order and exemplary conduct by which its services were so eminently distinguished on the interesting and important occa sion of his Majesty's Coronation. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient humble servant, " Colonel Bosanquet, (Signed) " SIDMOUTH. " London and Westminster Light Horse Volunteers, &c. PROVINCIAL CELEBRATIONS. NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT.—His Majesty's Coronation was celebrated in this town, on Thursday the 19th inst., in a manner truly gratifying to every loyal heart, and every way worthy of so august an occasion. The morning was ushered in by the ringing of bells and firing of cannon, which continued•at intervals throughout the day. Flags were also displayed from the church and other public buildings. The troops at Albany Barracks, together with the Vectis Yeomanry Cavalry, fired a feu-de-joie,in honour of the event—the officers of the different corps, amounting to upwards of 130, afterwards sat down .to a sumptuous dinner, and the Victis Cavalry, with a party of friends, dined together at the Sun Inn. Dinners were also served up to large parties of respectable individuals at the King's Head, Bugle, Pack Horse, and other Inns, where loy alty and harmony reigned until a late hour. In the -evening there was a general illumination of the most splendid descrip tion, comprizing many elegant transparancies, and a profusion of variegated lamps; there was likewise a brilliant display of fire works from a stage erected in the Beast Market, and on Friday a grand Ball at the Town Hall, which was attended by upwards of 300 of the nobility, gentry, and other inhabitants of the Island. The Band of the Vectis Cavalry was in attendance. TOTNESS.—At an early hour a royal salute was fired at Totness,.and ringing commenced : the royal standard waved from the Tower Castle, Mayoralty, &c. and the houses were tastefully decorated. A procession, consisting of the Mayor, Recorder, Justices, and Aldermen, in their robes of office, charity children, trading companies, music, military, &e. pro ceeded to church in the forenoon, where an excellent sermon was preached by the Rev. Thomas Cleave, and the Coronation Anthem was sung. After divine service 1,800 of the inhabi tants dined together on the plain ; at five the tables were cleared, and tea was supplied to the females, followed by a merry dance on the green. A bail at the Mayoralty-house dosed the fete, which, from the excellent arrangements previously made, was brilliantly conducted. MALDEN.— The morning was ushered in by a discharge of cannon, with bells ringing, and numerous colours displayed in the town. The National School Children were regaled at the school room'under the patronage of the Rev. Charles Matthew, their kind benefactor, and sung the anthem of " God save the King." The poor were next regaled, and afterwards the Mayor, with the Corporate Body and many friends, sat down to an excellent dinner at the Blue Boar. An illumination took place in the evening, when many transparencies, with appro ' priate devices, were exhibited. On the Mote Hall, at eleven o'clock, there was a grand display of fire-works, which, with an excellent band of music playing through the streets the national anthem, &c. closed the day with convivial pleasure to every loyal subject. - Try' E ItT 0 N.—The Coronation was celebrated at Tiverton in a manner worthy the wealth and respectability of the town.— The firing of cannon, ringing of bells, commenced at an early hour, and continued during the day. About half-past ten, the gentlemen, tradesmen, and principal inhabitants, met the worthy Mayor (J. Worth, Esq.) at the Guildhall, and accom panied him in procession to St. Peter's Church, -where an ap propriate sermon was delivered by the Rev. W. Rayer, one of the Rectors. At 3 ("clock about 300 ladies and gentlemen, tradesmen, &c. sat down to an elegant repast, on the School green, under the presidency of Sir John Dantze, Bart. who en deavoured, to the utmost of his power, to promote the convivia lity of the company. Mr. Barne was the Vice-President.— After dinner the health of his Majesty was drunk with three times three, amidst the most rapturous applause, and was fol lowed by many other loyal toasts. About 7: o'clock tea-tables were set out for the accommodation of those who chose to par take of it, and the evening was happily concluded by a ball in the school-room, from whence the company retired highly pleased with the festivities of the day. BARNSTAPLE.—This beautiful town, now rendered so gay by the presence of the North Devon Militia, celebrated the oc casion with great splendour. It is almost unnecessary to repeat that the bells announced the happy day, for surely not a church steeple in the kingdom withhe,d its exhilarating notes on such an event. By request of the Mayor the shops were shut at ten o'clock ; the North Devon Militia were then drawn up on the opposite bank of the river, and fired a succession of volleys and feux de joie, which were re-echoed by the town guns. At twelve o'clock, about 1,000 persons of the humbler class, including the children of the charity-school, were feasted in the public square ; upwards of 12cwt. of beef, with a due pro portion of plum-pudding and strong beer, having been pro vided by subscription for that purpose, instead of an illumina tion. A nnmber of rural feats and games were performed by the hardier part of the populace, with great spirit, among which were running for a sheep, jumping in sacks, and wheel barrow racing ; while the " softer sex" contested the race for a gown and other female habiliments. At four o'clock, about 150 of the principal inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood assembled at Ashby's Hotel, where an excellent dinner was provided. Several haunches of venison, from the parks of Earl Morley, Lord Rolle, and Sir Thomas Acland, smoked upon the festive board. The dinner was graced by the presence of the officers of the militia, and enlivened by their band. Din ner parties were formed at most of the other inns, and the pleasures of the day were succeeded by a splendid ball at the Rooms, which was attended by all the fashionables of the neigh bourhood. MaercgEsTEA.—The day of his Majesty's Coronation was celebrated at Manchester with every demonstration of ardent loyalty; a procession, in which the Members of the different Institutions in the town, the Clergy, the Magistracy, Artisans, &c. appeared with one heart, took place, and the highest order and harmony prevailed throughout the day. The.procession advanced through several streets, until it arrived at the new bridge called*Blackfriars'Bridge, lately erected over the river Irwell. Here the .Boroughreeves were received by the Bridge Company in the roost polite manner, beneath a grand triumphal arch, festooned with laurel, flowers, and evergreens, and sur mounted by a magnificent gold Crown. Wine was produced, and the health of our Most Gracious Sovereign was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm. After having gone through the des tined rout, the different bodies filed off. The town was a scene . of joyous animation throu.4,-houtahg day. The line of the procession was surrounded with innumerable spectators—the windows of the different streets displayed their inhabitants in gay and varied attire. The sounds of martial music " filled up each pause" between the more animating cheers of the multi tude. When the procession arrived at the Newßailey Bridge, the vesselsbelonging to the Old Quay Company presented themselves most fancifully and richly ornamented for the occasion. The sailors cheered., and the foremost vessels gave a. royal salute, which was echoed by an enthusiastic shout. The Company of Proprietors of the Mersey and Irwell Navigation distributed do . - nations, and illuminated their warehouses, in honour of the inte resting occasion. Everyprecaution was takeri to ensure good order and harmony. The exertions of J. E. Scholes, Esq., R. Smith, Esq., Samuel Hope, Esq., and Michael Harbottle„ Esq., who officially superintended the conduct of the Proces sion, on horseback, as Stewards, deserve every praise for their able and efficient attention. Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart. Lord of the Manor of Manchester, partook of an elegant cold colla tion, at the house of Thomas Watkins, Esq. of Ardwick Green. Thomas Holdsworth, Esq. M.P. liberally furnished the spin ners with the muslin for their scarfs, and 'aided the effect of the Procession by promptly lending three of his horses. James Ackers, Esq. of Lark Hill, invited into his grounds those parts of the Procession which the Church could not contain. For this temporary accommodation, he received three times three spon taneous cheers. Refreshments were provided at the expence of the town, at convenient quarters, for the use of those who chose to partake of them, At four o'clock in the afternoon, after a discharge of artillery,. the feasting commenced. The non-com missioned officers, privates, women, and children, of the 16th Lancers, and of the 29th Regiment, were regaled in the even ing at their respective barracks with the glorious old national fare, beef and plumb pudding. In consequence of an invita tion from the Town's . Committee, the Non-commissioned officers and privates of the Manchester and Salford Yeomanry Corps partook of an excellent dinner, at the Albion Hotel.— The health of his Majesty, with four times four, and the loud est cheering, was drank. The Boroughreeve and Constables, and the Officers of the Corps, honoured the party with their presence. • After the cloth was removed, several loyal speeches were made, and toasts drank. Among the latter were— " His Majesty's Ministers"—" The Duke of Wellington"— " The Rev. Mr. Hay," &c. The party did not separate till a late hour.—A ball and supper was given on Friday, at the As sembly Rooms; in honour of the Coronation,, which was most numerously attended. Over the entrance to the Assembly Rooms, a splendid crown, lighted with gas, was arrayed. At one o'clock, upwards of 600 persons were present. LEEDS.—The morning (which was as fine a one as ever shone out of the heavens) was ushered in by the ringing of the bells, and the display of flags from the steeples Of theehurches, and from private houses. The shops and warehouses, with very few exceptions, were shut up ; and it was, in every sense, a holiday. At half-past nine o'clock, the Leeds Volunteers, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Hardy, assembled in the White Cloth-hall Yard ; from whence they marched at about 20 minutes after eleven, through Duncan-street and Boar lane, to Park-row, where they were joined by the 15th Royal Hussars, and the Leeds squadron of the Yorkshire Hussars. The whole military cavalcade then proceeded to Woodhouse moor.—At twelve o'clock the line was formed on the moor. The division of the 15th hussars, Captain Booth, on the right ; the hussars yeomanry, Captain Beckett, on the left; and the Volunteer light infantry, Lieutenant-Colonel - Hardy, in the centre ; the whole under the command of Major Whitefoord, of the 15th hussars. An elegant pair of colours having been purchased for the Leeds Volunteers, by a subscription of the officers ladies and others, the ceremony of presenting them was now gone through. .The line having taken open order, and the troop having been beat down the front of the infantry, and the drummers' call on the right, the ensigns took post in centre of the escort, which marched and formed n open - order in front of the centre tent. Mrs. Hardy, the Colonel's Lady, supported by several magistrates and gentlemen, and attended by a nu merous train of Ladies, advanced from the tent, and presented the colours to the Colonel, with an appropriate address.— After the ceremony of presenting the-colours was concluded, both infantry and cavalry marched round the moor in review order, and being again formed in line, three excellent feux de joie were fired, from right to left, followed by three times three cheers. The officers then proceeded to partake of a cold colla tion, which was provided for them on the moor. Major White foord, who commanded on this loyal Occasion expressed his high approbation of the military appearance and conduct of the troops assembled. They marched back to Leeds in open columns, and formed line, the centre of the infantry being op posite to the Hotel, where the colours were lodged in the usual manner. The divisions then returned to their own parades; the light infantry to the white cloth-hall, where they fired three ad ditional feux de joie, and were dismissed. They then retired to the inns, where dinners were provided for the respective coin panies ; and where the utmost 'harmony and loyalty prevailed. —We never recollect to have seen such an aSeemblage of beauty and fashion on Woodhouse-moor, as was collected there on Thursday. Carriages, filled with ladies, occupied nearly the whole, or one side of the square which was formed-for the troops ; and the number of horsemen and pedestrian's was im mense. From 15,000 t., 20,000 persons at least were assembled on the moor ; who all appeared to enjoy the imposing spectacle, and to enter into the spirit of the day, with heart-cheering loy alty.—The streets through which the "military passed on their way to and from.. the moor, were also crowded with spec tators who evinced the utmost good humour. Soon after five o'clock, the Mayor, in his robes, attended by the offi cers of the corporation, repaired to the - Music Hall, to re ceive his brother magistrates, • the members of the common council, the clergy, the hussar, staff, yeomanly, and volunteer officers, and the gentlemen who had been invited to the corpo ration dinner, about 115 in number. • Things were arranged here in the best style we have for n, long time witness ed in Leeds. The dinner-rOom was tastefully ornament ed with festoons of laurel, and flowers of every variety, completely encircling the apartment: the Mayor's chair in like manner, with the mace and . tai -elegant crown, with royal pur ple flags. The dinner was announced ley a band of martial mu .sic striking up ," God save: the - King." It was served by Mrs. Greaves of the Hotel, and would have done honour to the first tables even of the metropolis.'•! •The Marquis of Hertford's ve nison was in prime order ; the turtle, the wines, the fruits, &c. gave infinite satisfaction, PORTLAND.—This island, so justly famed for the loyalty of' its inhabitants, on the day of his Majesty's Coronation, display ed a scene of rustic jollity and heartfelt rejoicing. The Royal. Standards were hoisted at the king's and Pensylvania Castle, the latter being the marine residence of Governor Penn, as well as by the shipping at anchor in the Roads. At three o'clock an immense concourse of men, women, and children, assembled in the most mountainous part of the island, called the Verne, the identical spot on which the celebration of the Coronation of our late good and revered King took place, and wliere upwards of fifty aged and healthy . islanders joined the throng, who had par ticipated in the rejoicings on that occasion. Here a large circle was formed, and upwalds of 1,500 persons wereliberally regaled with strong beer, the band of music in the centre, with colours flying, and playing the national and inspiring anthem of " God save the King." His Majesty's heelth was then drank by the sur roundinginultitudewith four times four, most enthusiastically; the band again striking tip " God save the King" and" Rule Bri tannia." At five o'clock dancing commenced, and was kept up with aTeat spirit till the evening,when the whole assemblage sepae rated and repaired to the different Inns, and for Med • parties, and enjoyed themselves after supper most happily with dancelsongs,o)al w its►nvacasretsas,edant.s,aecnitstxtritieinl t t s h , e an m d o V n s i o ng k s eli a t p t p i thep roac h. livelyln addition to these festive gaieties, a splendid illumination took place in the evening. (To be continued.) . COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Common Council was held at Guildhall, for the purpose of considering a variety of matters connected with city affairs. At half past n o'clock the Loan MAYOR took his seat. THE CORONATION. Mr. OLDHAM addressed the Court, and in conformity with the practitp of the Corporation to address the Throne on the occasion of a Coro nation, moved a Resolution for the appointment of a Committee, to consist of all the Aldermen and a Commoner from' each Ward, to inquire what course it was usual to pursue on such an occasion ; and to consider of the best mode for the Corporation` to adopt of congratulating his Majesty citchis Coronation. Mr. FAVELL seconded the motion.—lie had always professed the warmest attachment to the House of Brunswick, and he hoped that the course pursued by the Corporation on this occa sion would put an end to that petty feeling which had led to a marked distinction in the treatment of persons by his Majesty's Ministers according to their political opinion as individuals. Mr. C. SMITII wished the Hon. Member to sus pend his motion, as the Court was but thinly at tended at that time. Mr. OLDHAM said it was not at all necessary, as his motion was merely for a Committee. After a few words from Mr. S. DIXON and Mr. OLDHAM, the motion was agreed to, and a Com mittee appointed. NE WGATE MARKET. A Petition was presented from the inhabitants of the vicinity of Newgate-market, praying that the vegetable part of the market should be re moved to an eligible spot near the College of Physicians.—Referred to a Committee. LONDON BRIDGE. Mr. OLDHAM rose to bring forward the question respecting London-bridge. He was of opinion that the erection of two additional arches, and the enlargement of two others, would answer every purpose of a new bridge. Mr. Rennie, in his Report, entertained no doubt as to the prac ticability of the enlargement of 4 arches. The expence that would be incurred by such enlarge ment, with a temporary bridge, would amount to about 892,000. This expence was independent of 81200 for a Coffre-dam to inspect the sta bility of the piers, though Mr. Rennie, in the first instance, had no doubt of the strength of the foundation. Mr. Chapman, a surveyor, and several others, were of opinion that it would re duce the fall of London-bridge by two feet if the water-works- were removed ; and he should pro pose that one arch next the centre arch should be first enlarged ; and when .he saw the effect of that, another might be enlarged if the navigation seemed to be improved. He put it broadly to the Court, whether or not the question of a new Bridge had not been introduced with a view to establish a job. The public had not complained. Thirteen thousand tons of goods had been every day carried over, and yet not a word was said as to the insufficiency of the Bridge to sustain the weight. The Court could not calculate upon the expences of a new Bridge, within 1 or 8200,000, and-in his opinion a new Bridge would cost Bor X 900,000, and with other expences, necessarily attaching, would take from the City a million or a million and a half, whereas the enlargement of the Bridge might be done at an expence of ninety-two thousand pounds. The raising of, p 300,000, to begin the new Bridge would subject the Citizens of London to a yearly' expence of 230,000. He then moved some Resolutions, to the effect that the foundations of the Bridge would last for ages, and that the removal of the Water-works, and the enlargement of two or three arches, would be sufficient to improve the navi gation through London Bridge. Mr. HURCOMBE seconded the motion, and quoted authorities to prove that - the erection _of a new Bridge would be an enormous and unneces sary expence. Alderman Woon defended the conduct of the Committee of the House of , Commons, and was of opinion that the erection.of a: new Bridge would be the most advisable mode of acting. Mr. Chapman had stated, that the Bridge would fall if the starlings were taken away ; and the watermen said, that let the arches be enlarged as much as possible, the fall of water would continue unless the starlings were removed. A new BritiTe would not cost so much in taxation as the worthy Member had stated. He did not take into consideration what might be required for approaches. He was anxious, for the honour of the City, to see a new bridge instead of a piece of useless patchwork. He estimated the expence of a new bridge at 430,0001. and towards that they had 105,0001. immediately available. In 30 years the money would be repaid which it would he necessary to borrow, and that could be done at 2d. per ton on all goods passing under the bridge. Mr. FAVELL said, that there never had been a more unbiassed Report than that of the Bridge house Committee on this subject, and he approv ed of the project of building a new bridge. He concluded by moving an amendment in favour of a new bridge. After some rrmarks from Mr. Dixon and Mr. Alderman Waithman, against the amend ment, the Court agreed to adjourn the further consideration of the subject. The Lord Mayor, prior to his leaving Guild hall, fixed Monday flext for the purpose. Mr. Serjeant VA uonAN, under the skilful treatment of Mr. .A STLEY COOPER, is likely, in due course, to recover from the recent fracture of his thigh. FOR THE SUN. LIBELS. Ma.

The Constellation frigate has -lately arrived at Valparaiso, arid the Macedonian is soon • expected from the coast of Peru. There is at present upon 'the coast a French 74 and frigate, the object of which is unknown. After being three or . four days in Valparaiso, they sailed for Callao, which is now blockaded by Lord Cocn,a.lNes squadron, lately increased by the' taking of the Royal frigate Esmeralda. She was cut out 'at night from under the guns of the fortifications by volunteers from the' squadron, in thirteeh boats, commanded -by Coen RANE who was the first on board, and killed the centinel at the gangway. The number of kil led and wounded •on the part of the . .enetrly was very great ; . that of 'the Patriots inconsider able, though the Admiral was among the wound— ed. He is, however, now recovered, and is upoal cruize with the O'Higgins and Esmeralda, after the Venganza and Pamelia, which, if he falls iii with them, from his daring but prudent intrep, dity, and from the, enthusiasm of those who serve under him, which has been increased by .the, late success, he will most certainly take.- It:is said they ; are gone to bring troops from-AniCa, which, if it be the case, will render the - paw ture more ithportant. The Patriot arms in- Peru have_been extremely successful—the van-guard of the enemy, under the command of General. O'Rpp.r.y, having been 'lately defeated bi'a DiVision of the Patriot, Army under A RENALiS%; 1200 inen, with O'REILLY himself, have been taken prisoners; the number of killed has Thjt: been heard of, SAN MA TIN has Lima reduced to .a close siege, cut off' from. all communicatioit with the Provinces, and expected to have al . - ready surrendered from the scarcity of provi sions. The Revolution has spread with the ra pidity of -a contagion throughout the whole of Pert!, and may be said to be universal with the exception :of Lima and Arequipa, where the garrisons form an insecure restraint upon the diSPoSitions of the inhabitants. We are daily expecting news of great events, which can al , most impossibly be less favourable than our an ticipations." • * l Ir. Hill was the lat. United States' Vice-Consul at Val- paraiso. Extract of a lettei dated Monte Video, March 24, 1821.—" We have here witnessed an occur- . • rence .of some moment, that may produce interest ing consequences. On the 20th inst., at day. break, nearly all the garrison under arms had . occupied the principal posts; with Col. Claudino Pimentel at their head, and their avowed object was to swear to the constitution proclaimed in Portugal. Some. of the principal - officers had. different political opinions, but the meeting had been arranged with so much secrecy ; that they . had not the least notice, and were taken con-f-_ pletely by .surprise ; but being called to the Market-place, they , were obliged to yield, eithe r through fear, or--a - change of opinion. General Lecor was also summoned to attend and to pre side ; but it is said that it was necessary to setia him three messages before he resolved to come : at last he made his appearance at the ; balcony of the Town-house.—ln the procla mation circulated amongst the troops, an offer is .made to comply with the promise given to therit by the King, to let them return to their homes in Portugal. will therefore be necessary to let the army return to Europe : and as it will be next, - to impossible to. raise another army for the purpose • in the. Brazils, the consequence will probably be: the evaeuation•Of this fortress and territory. For the present,,a military junta has been formed ; it is cornpocli-vf • fi ve individuals, under the. pre sidency of General Lecor. Claudino . Pimentel is Vice-President, and the rest of the-members are Major Nepomuceno, and Captains Plana and Jeremias."
