rRANCti 41 TRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER, PARIS, JULY 27. eThe P ar i s i ans in general have interest e d them lves very muc h a b out t h e var i ous preparations x a tive to th e C oronat i on o f t h e K ing of ENG ih4l", and many even among the lower classes c " France were not less indignant at the in h:llceivable audacity of Queen CAROLINE, than er e Englishmen, the most attached to their KING, e d the most rigid friends of decorum. As the earliest details of the Coronation ceremonial first ap peared in L'Etoile (a Sunday Evening Journal), s ' s Paper, on its being published, was eagerly rea d, for, and in the di ff eren t S a l oons w h ere i t was 4 a d) Only one opinion was entertained of the I A uE EN's conduct.

DEPARTURE OF THE KING. - -Yesterday morn ing, about half-past eleven o'clock, his MAJESTY left his Palace in Pall-mall, on his way to Ire land. His MAJESTY went in his plain dark tra velling carriage, attended by Lord GRAVES as the Lord in - Waiting; escorted by a party of the 14th Light Dragoons. The KING proceeded as far as Kingston with his own horses, and thence to Portsmouth with post horses. Ilis MAJESTY was to embark and dine on board the Royal yacht. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY EVENING, 7 o'CLocs. His MAJESTY has not yet arrived, and it is, therefore, probable that he will net come until to-morrow.— Nothing of his intentions is as yet known here with certainty The garrison is under orders to turn out at the shortest notice: in consequence of after garrison orders, which were issued yester day by Sir George Cooke, K.C.8., Lieutenant-Governor of the Garrison of Portsmouth, and Commanding the South-west District. On the arrival of his Majesty at the Landport Rave lin, or Landport Gate, the gate of the Garrison, the Lieutenant Governor will present him with the keys of the Garrison, which his Majesty will instantly return. In the mean time the Royal standard will be hoisted on the flag-staff in the Landport cur tain, a part of the ramparts opposite the Lieut.-Governor's house, and at the King's Bastion, or Battery, and a Royal salute will be fired from the Saluting Battery. These arrange ments will be carried into effect under the superintendence of Lieut.-Colonel Dixon, the officer commanding the Artillery department. His Majesty will then proceed along Landport street, and High-street, in his barouche, down to the new Sally. port. This is a door-way which opens to the King's stairs, and where none but persons in his Majesty's service are permitted to embark. As soon as his Majesty enters the Royal barge, another Royal salute will be fired from the Bastion before-men tioned. Bis Majesty will be received at the Sallyport by a guard of honour from the 10th Regiment, consisting of a Captain, two Subalterns, and two hundred privates, with the King's colours and a band of music. Upon these occasions the colours of the Regiment are always superseded by the superior Ensign of the King. The troops in the Garrison will be formed with their right adjoining the left of the guard of honour, in the following order : 10th Regiment—Colonel Stewart. Royal Marine Artillery.—Col. Sir R. Williams, K.C.B, Royal Marines. Five Companies of the 15th Regiment —Colonel Davison. They are to line the street on each side from the Sally-port along High-street, and Landport-street, to the Landport-gate, with their files at such distance as will enable them to occupy the whole way. The Royal Sappers and Miners are also to be in attendance. Lieut.-Colonel Lindegren's Corps of South- West Hants Yeomanry Cavalry have received orders to form in High-street, near the Theatre, where they are to wait 4. surti orders as may be given them. Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Richard Williams has made arrangements for passing the Royal Marine Artillery over from Gosport, when necessary, to Fort Monckton. An orderly man from the Artillery is in at tendance every morning, at the Lieutenant-Governor's Office, and will continue so to attend until his Majesty has embarked, as upon this department devolves the honour of firing a Royal salute shortly after his Majesty's getting into the harbour. On the arrival of his Majesty, the whole of the men of the different corps will be underarms, with the exception of those sick in hos pitals and in barracks. The harbour will be crowded with yachts and boats of every description, and if the day prove favourable, the scene will be of the most magnificent description. It has been raining here incessantly all this day, with a S.W. wind, a wind exactly the opposite of that which his Majesty wants. — But it is thought that the wind is now likely to shift about to South-east. There are several versions here of his Majesty's intended line of voyage after he shall have passed the Needles. It is said that he is very likely to go into Plymouth to view the famous Breakwater, and if the wind do not serve to bear him round Land's-end and up the Irish Channel without much diffi culty, it is supposed that he will disembark at Plymouth, and go by land to Holyhead. On.the other hand, if he be able to make the Isle of Anglesea by water, it is supposed that he will I stop there fora day or two, in order to give time for his proper reception at the . Pigeon-house. The latter report has been mentioned here on good authority, and it appears by no means unlikely.—The Royal marine band is to embark on board the Active, to accompany and enliven the squadron. The Came lion cutter has received orders to go to Guernsey, and of course is not to form part of the squadron, as was first intended. So strictly enforced is the order against the admission of strangers on board of any of the frigates or sloops of the squadron, that even the Admir a l of th e stat i on , Si r J . H. Wh i tened, cannot send I his own son. HOLYHEAD, JuLY Sir Benjamin Bloomfield has just arrived here with his family and a numerous suite on his way to Dublin. He remains for the night at Moran's Hotel, where he is provided with excel lent accommodations, and will embark to-morrow at seven o'clock on board the Lightning steam packet, Captain Skinner. In - le mean time his Majesty is expected to arrive on the Bth of next month, at the seat of the Marquis of Anglesea in this neighbourhood, and the pnncipal persons for some miles round are to meet on Monday next, to prepare a suitable Address for the occasion. It is understood, that his Majesty, after staying a day or two with the Marquis, will enter this harbour, and come toanchor at a short distance fpom the shore, but will not land. His Ma jesty's intention is to wait the return of Sir B. Bloomfield, who, as soon as all the arrangements for his Majesty's reception are completed, will come off immediately to communicate the fact, and his Majesty's yacht, followed by the Royal squadron, will then sail for the Bay of Dublin, without further delay. DUBLIN, JULY 28.--It is with delight we have to announce that his MAJF.STY has been gra ciously pleased to signify his intention of honour ing our University with his presence at a dinner. This mark of condescension and kindness will be felt not only as an honour to the University, but to the whole nation. It is an honour to literature and science—to the growing genera tion, as well as to the present men of Ireland.— The Examination Hall is to be fitted up with the most imposing splendour; it will, on this occa sion, present a coup d'iril, such as has never been witnessed within the walls of old Trinity.— It is to be remarked, that since his Majesty came to the. Throne, he has not dined with any public body in the etnpire. At all events, Dublin will be the first of our Universities honoured with his presence. We hope that the poetic talent of ALNIA MATER will be put In requisition on this occasion. The Muse of Ireland has now an op portunity to distinguish herself. MERCANTILE sllippiNci.

The Clyde spoke, on the 10th of June, his Majesty's ship Pheasant, at the Island of Ascension. ' CoRN-' E XCHANGE, AUG. 1.--A very short supply of every sort of Grain. The best Wheats maintained Monday's price ; and there being a brisker demand for the ordinary sorts, they in consequence procured a better price than of late. In other sorts of Grain no material alteration ; they fully supported Monday's prices. HOP INTELLIGENCE. Sountwmtx, JULY 30.—We have not any demand for Hops at present, our sales were never more confined, or on a less scale. We think the accounts are not quite so favourable to-day from the plantations as they were last week. The Duty is at £140,000. Among the regiments enumerated by us in our Paper of Wednesday last, as being named, for re duction, we included the 7th Dragoon Guards. A Correspondent assures us there is not the least foundation whatever for the report of that old regiment being reduced, and particularly as there are 18 other regiments of cavalry junior to them ,in the service. —(British Press.) The QUEEN was much indisposed at the Theatre on Monday evening, but her MAJESTY could not be persuaded to retire till the play was over. Her MAJESTY continued very unwell during the night, but was much better yesterday evening. The Duke of YORK held a Military Levee yesterday, which was most numerously attended. Among other Officers were—Lieutenant-Generals, Sir E. Paget, Maitland, and Campbell ; Major- Genet al Brand ; Colonels, Sir W. Gomm, Austen ; Honourable B. Lygon, ,Rennett, Earl of Ayles ford ; two Majors Finch, &c. His late MAJESTY'S skill in music was acknow ledged ; he many years ago composed an air, which he gave - to one of his attendants of the name of Bernard, who, on Bickerstaff's transfor mation of The Village Opera to Love in a Village, introduced it in the character of Rosetta, with appropriate words, viz.: " In love should there meet a fond pair." The air possesses a tasteful ease and simplicity worthy of the Royal Composer. Extract of a letter, dated Malta, June 14 : cc Dispatches have arrived, directing all the troops to be sent up which can be spared from this garrison. These, however, amount to but few, namely, the four companies of the 36th re giment, which were left behind ; and they em bark to-day for Cephalonia, on board the Cam brian frigate. Two regiments more are daily expected from England ; but the object is not divulged. All that we know is, that barracks for troops are fitting up here." Letters from Alexandria, dated the Bth of May last, give the intelligence that the cele brated sarcophagus of alabaster, and the various other antiquities accumulated by the traveller BELZONI, have been embarked for England on board the transport Dispatch, Capt. WALKER. By the date of the letters we may expect the above vessel to arrive in the Thames this month, and the public curiosity will be soon gratified with the sight of these precious remains of antiquity. A first rate line of battle ship, built upon a beautiful model, is nearly ready to be launched at Chatham. The name originally intended was the Prince Regent, but we understand it is to be changed to George the Fourth. The head and 'quarter galleries are a fine specimen of marine architecture. She is to carry 110 guns. The 'Provost of King's College, Cambridge, with two attendants, arrived at Eton on Satur day last, and were received by the Provost, Fel lows, and Masters of Eton School, in the qua drangle, where a Latin congratulatory address was admirably delivered by the senior scholar, after which the election of scholars on the foun dation for King's College, Cambridge, com menced, and in the evening there was a grand regatta on the river. Mr. KEMBLE has lately changed his residence for an elegant villa, most delightfully situated just out of Lausanne, on the road to Vevay, on the banks 'of the Leman Lake. Mrs. SIDDONS and her daughter are now there on a visit. Yesterday Sir GEORGE SMART left town for Paris for about three or four weeks. The Countess FITZWILLIAM, by an express received in town yesterday, is stated to be seri ously indisposed at Milton, Northamptonshire. We are happy to announce to the public, that the Governors of St. Batholomew's hospital have abolished all fees and ward dues on the admis sion of patients. The poor will be received in future free of any charge whatever. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on all those who have; brolght into effect this act of real philanthropy. The admission of patients will hereafter be on every Thursday from 11 to 12 o'clock. POttk V. REGISTER 01 FASHION. FEMALE FASHIONS FOR AUGUST. (From La Belle Assemblrefor August.)

WONDERFUL UNDERTAiING.— Captain HENDERSON started yesterday morning at day-break from Teignham, Herts, for a stake of 240 guineas, to ride four horses 64 miles in four hours, over 12 measured miles of ground, part of which was turf.—The Captain is an intrepid steeple chase rider, and al though this match is inferior to that performed by Milton, the Morse dealer, in 1810, the odds were 6 and 7 to 4 against him. —He started upon a bay blood mare, and did the 12 miles of ground as follows : Ist 12 miles - 2d do. 3d do. 4th do. sth do. 4 miles MRS. MIS. SEC. 44 40 44 22 0 48 38 0 42 49 0 45 29 0 18 0 4 1 58 The match was decided as lost by the referee's watch by two minutes. The - rider would have won, but from the time lost in mounting the third horse, which was not very quiet, though the fastest of the three when off. The Captain seemed more mor tified than fatigued at losing the match. A CRICKET .M.ATcri was played on Finkly Down, near Andover, on Monday last, between eleven msmbers of the Andover Club ancl eleven of King's Somborne, which is not yet decided. 'When they left off' play, Andover in the two inn ings had gained 151 runs, and Somborne 104. The latter have four wickets to go .down and 47 runs to get. A wretched artist, who , thortght.hims e lf' an excellent painter, was talking pompously about decorating the ceiling of his saloon —" I am whitewashing it, and in a short time I shall begin painting." " I think you had better," replied one of his au-. dience, " paint it first, and whitewash it afterwards." When MILTON was blind, he married a shrew. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM called her a rose. " I am no judge of colours (replied Mr.r.Tox), and it may be so, for I feel the thorns .daily." Some one writing against gravity, says—" The gravest beast is an ass ; the gravest bird is an owl ; the gravest fish is an oyster : and the gravest man is a fool." - TO-MORROW. How sweet ió the heart is the thought of to-morrow, When Hope's fairy pictures bright colours display ; How sweet, when we can from futurity borrow A balm for the griefs that afflict us to-clay ! If wearisome sickness should teach us to Linguis For health, and the comforts it e'er will impart,- The hope that to-morrow may le.ssen the anguish, Alleviates the pain, and enliVens the he-t ! When travling alone, quite forlorn, tinbefriended ; Sweet the hope that to-morroW my wand'rings will cease That at home, then, With care, sympathetic attended, I'll rest unmolested, and slumber in peace ! Or, when from the friends of m y h eart l o n g divided • The fond expectation, with joy how replete ; That from far distant regi ons , b y Providence guided., To-morrow will see us most happily iilect ! When six days of labour each ether sunceedin,t, With hurry and toil have my spirits opprest What pleasure to think, as the last is receding, To-morrow will be a sweet Sabbath of rest ! And when the vain shadows of time are retiring, When life is fast fleeting, and death i s i n s igh t , How pleas'd the true Christian, ex u l t i ng . aspiring; Beholds a to-morrow of endless delight ! The wicked then finds not a joyous to-morrow, Though glutted with all that v il e d ust can d es i re, Poor wretch ! he will feel, to his heart-rending sorrow, That all his delights with to-day will expire ! When Death the frail thread of existence shall sever, And Man be disrob'd of his garment of clay; His spirit survives, and to-morrow for ever, To HIM will be lost in ETEP.NAL TO-DAY ! PII ILAN THROPOS. - • ENGLISH DINNER PARTY DnEss.—Dress of fine plain India muslin over pink satin, with three rows of puffing of clear muslin round the border ; between which rows are broad spaces richly embroidered in. raised spots, or filled up by letting in of broad /ace ; spotted muslin or lace sleeves to correspond, wreathed round with puffings of muslin. The 2dancherons of plain In dia muslin, braced in puckers in the antique coronation style, . with pink satin rouleaus. Falling tucker of fine Mechlin lace, surmounted by a row of puffing.

THEATRE.—The, Opera of •La Caped Ladies was an nounce d f or performance, lait night, by the special desire of his Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRSDGE. In consequence, however, of the illness of one of the principal performtrs, the popular Opera of Don Giovanni was substituted at a short notice: The boxes were nearly filled, and the pit was tolerably well attended, An unusual crowd of well-dressed persons was as sembled in the gallery ; an impression had certainly prevailed that her Majesty would have visited the Theatre ; in consequence of the appearance of the words "by special desire" in the bills of the day. There was no public re cognition of his Royal Highness at any time in the course of the evening. Besides his Royal Highness the Duke of CAMDRIDGE, there were present her Royal Highness the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, the Duchess of KENT, the Marquis amd Marchioness of CHOLMONDELEY, &c. The Koval party left the Theatre at twelve o'clock, LNGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—The Witch of Dern cleugh seems to have increased her witcheries.-- Miss KELLY'S embodying of her exquisite con ception of the character rises upon the public, and forms as finished a piece of acting as that of T. P. Co°kE in Hatteraick. Indeed the latter performer has given a • degree of dramatic effect to the smuggler beyond what the Novelist could possibly accomplish. We can read of villainy, but in seeing it its worst shades must be softened, as now, by lighter touches of humour.—Th e i.uhlic would not allow the announcement of the piece —five times did the loudest applause seal up the performer's lips. OXFORD, JULY confidenily stated, that the Urii versity Election will take place on the 22d of next month.— On Wednesday last came on the Election at Magdalen College, when Mr. Linton, of Christ's College, Cambridgr• ; Mr. Middleton, of Pembroke; 1)1r. Philott, of W orcester; and Mr. Sewell, of Winchester School, were chosen Demies.— And on the following day, the Rev. Richard Walker, M.A. W. Morgan, Esq. M.A. and J. F. Winterbottom, Esq. B.A. Demies of Magdalen College, were elected Fellows of the same Society. THE EAU BRINK,—(Lynn, July 29.)—The grand Cut of the Eau Brink, in the Bedford Level, which was intended to have been opened by the Commissioners with appropriate ceremon als on Tuesday next, was opened on Friday last, with no ceremony at all, by a very high tide and heavy gale of wind at N.W. The boundary of land which was finally to - be divided, to perfect a channel to our harbour, was thus suddenly swept away, when the tide flowed so rapidly up the new Cut, that had not immediate means been adopted. for letting a portion of the sea-flood into the Hundred-foot river, the new banks must have been overflowed, and a large tract of land been laid under salt water. Fortunately no mate rial damage has been sustained by this ele: - nental eruption ; but thousands who had formed parties for the aquatic. gala will be disappointed in their pleasurable expectations on Tuesday next, by an event which verifies the prop:letic adage", that " time and tide stay for no man." OUTRAGE. —Extract of a letter from Cootehill, dated Julf2l.—" Late in the evening of Tues day last, the 17th inst., two children had a guar- . rel in a field in the county of Monaghan, and two men, a Protestant and a Roman Catholic, came down to the place and took part in the fight, which produced a challenge between them, ignd it was agreed they should meet the next morning. At seven o'clock the next morning, not less than seven or eight hundred persons were assembled on each side—some of them came from a distanc e o f 10 m il es. The Ribbonmen were armed, many of them with pitchforks and scythes fastened in poles, and the re3t with large sticks. The Orange party had pistols, swords, and a number of Yeomanry muskets and bayonets ; they occupied two hills, which COED mantled the bottom where the champions ought to have fought. Some respectable' people of the neighbourhood interfered and endeavoured to stop the fight ; and, whether it was from their interference, or from fear I have not ascertained, but the Ribbonmen begin to give way a little, upon which a shout was raised by the opposite party, when they charged upon their opponents, who immediately fled, throwing away their arms, and were pursued over the country, for (I am told) the distance of a mile. Whole corn and flax fields were trampled to the ground in their flight. I have not heard that any person was seriously hurt ; but from every account I have got of the tains:teflon, it would have been a most bloody business if the Ribbonmen had stood their ground." On Saturday last, WILLIAM WILSON CARUS WILSON, Esq., of Casterton Hall, Westmoreland, was elected M.P. for Cockermouth, vice the Right Hon. JOHN BECKETT, accepted the Chil tern Hundreds. Mrs. SHAW LEFEVRE had the misfortune, on Saturday last, to break her arm and dislocate her elbow, as she was getting out of her phaeton in Whitehall-place, in consequence of her dress be coming entangled - in the step. She fell on the pavement. Surgical aid was immediately pro cured, and she is in a fair way,of recovery. Mrs. GLOV,ER concluded her engagement at the Liverpool Theatre, on Friday evening last, by performing the part of Hamlet, and Nell in the Dc - cil to Pay. The fruiterers' shops in Covent Garden market now assume the appearance of autumn, by a beau tiful display of peaches, nectarines, apricots. plums, pears, grapes, melons, and pine -apples; the latter of which sell at' 10s. per pound. DERIVATION OF PONY.-_A few days ago one of the hterati was puzzling his brains about the derivation of pony,- when a tr-stander quaintly . observed, " Sir, I am astonished you don't low what a puny_ is derived from." " Why ?' said the man of learning. ` Because," said the other, every body knows that a pony is derived from a little bore and a little mare." On Friday three boys left N ew h aven , wit h a pleasure boat belonging . to a Clentleman, and were not beard of before Sun day morning, when they were picked up in Kirkaldy Bay, hay ing been beating about the l'orth all the intermediate time, without being allz to make any shore. A remarkable large Pea was Plucked on Tues day last in Mr. CROKER'S garden, at Upway ; it measured five inches and a quarter from end to end, and nearly an inch and a quarter across, containing eight seeds, the latter not half ripe. An extraordinary Gooseberry was gathered in a garden at Dorchester; it measured one inch and three-eighths in length, and three inches and a half in circumference.
