Nu. 16, Cheapside. THE CORONATION. LETTER FROM A GENTLEMAN IN TOWN TO A LADY IN THE COUNTRY. [FROM THE LONDON MAGAZINE.] [Concluded from our Paper of Saturday, the 11th ult.] There was an air of indolence now spread over the whole scene. A few ocers were loitering about, leaning against the rails in the Ha T 1 in their happiest attitudes, or idling in the best light, to give their golden lace and trappings a beam of the sun:—a few servants were furnishing forth the tables with knives, and napkins, and bread ; the doorkeepers (selected from the most eminent bruisers, as I was, informed ; but never having seen them, I cannot vouch for the information;) reclining in part against the side of the gothic arch at the door, or quietly ban quetting in some contiguous apartment ;—when the distant bray of a trumpet, or a voice at the gateway, struck life and confu sion into all. The rush, the hurry, the flight to and fro, th e distant and faint noises, the instantaneous flutter of feathers, the pretty womanly alarm,--all seemed but the picture, the mockery, of what the first faint cannon sound must have been at the ball in Brussels,—the awful summoner from revelry. to battle ! The effect: methought, was similar,—" alike, but oh ! how different !"--,here were joy, and spirit, and splendour, and pleasure, awakened, and by day ;—there death spake to the gallant, the proud, and the beautiful, and its voice came through the night. I know not why I intrude this dreary contrast upon you (for it is no comparisdn, although I called it such); but the thought did, in reality, occur to my mind at the time, and, therefore, I do not withhold it. It was evi dent that the cavalcade was op the return, and all that had duties in the Hall were summoned to their posts. I was all anxiety again, and watched the dooj with an eager eye. First came Miss Fcllowes, with her six beautiful flower girls,. scattering rose-leaves over the blue cloth, as though they had been Flora's hand-maids ; indeed, Miss Fellowes seemed to me a more important personage than Flora herself. After them, the procession entered, not by twos and threes, as it left the hall, but in rich, yet regular, clusters. Nothing could have a finer effect than,the dress of the choristers ; all in an excess of white, they appeared to be the petsonification of day-light.— The arrangements were for a mornent now somewhat impeded by the ardour of the Aldermen of London, which, at the sight of the white cloth and silver plates, became quite unmanage able, and carried and dashed them with a civic fury into the first seats they could reach. Happily, a herald, or some person of trust, called theni back to the ranks ; but they were evi.. dently impatient " to get a good place," having once tasted the gout of a cushion ! After the Law ()takers had entered (the gloomiest part of the pageant, by the by), the Knights Commanders of the Bath advanced under the archway. I can live you no idea of the effect of their magnificent appearance.— Their plumes rolled like the foam of the sea, and were all silver white ! The day streamed in with them, as though glad to bear along so radiant a company. I have spoken of the dresses of these Knights, but no description can indeed touch them,— Next came nobles and standard-hearels, r and marvellously rich and chivalrous did the standards float into the banquet-hall. Barons, Viscounts, Earls, Illarquisses, and Dukes, ail ibllowed, in separate clusters, all wearing their coronets and MI robes, and walking as though they stepped in the best bright days of England. The gorgeous company appeared to swarm in as to some fairy hive ! All the colours of imagination seen ed hous ing from the world—and the eye became enamoured of, be.auti ful dyes, and seemed to dance upon a sea of gorgeous and rest- - less beauty. Each dress was exquisitely neighboured,—pink and gold and white—and soft blue—and light andrdeep red all mingled as though they were married by magic 4 , ..indP;.• colours ran into each other like waters,—they • played together even as music !---they shifted—and were the same. • The procession now promised-no end, and for my own part I would have had it thus ever pour on—l could endure! The Heralds and Archbishops, and Officers of State, succeeded the Dukes. At length, alone and in stately silence, entered Prince Leopold. Princely indeed was his bearing—but fue;. thought there was a melancholy in his eye that spake of all that had been, and all that was not to be. He walked up the hall, amid the plaudits of thousands, but his spirit walked not with him. The Royal Dukes followed :—and alter some Nobles. of State, the King again entered the banquet room. He looked weary, but cheerful. He was habitted in robes of purple velvet, furred with ermine; the crown of state w a s on his h ea d,—i n his right hand was the sceptre, and in his left the orb with the cross.— Ile walked under the canopy, which was supportedas Udine. Oflic;:rs and Yeomen of the Guard closed the proc'ession.. I cannot help feeling how difficult—nay, how impossible it is to give you any, the smallest idea of the effect a the whole scene :—recall all that you hare read of chivalrous banquets, and you will do more in your own fancy than I can achieve, for you.—You will wish me, however, to be more particular in my account of some of the rresses ; or such will be the wish of your sisters ; and 1 shall, therefore, to the best of my ability, select you a few of the richest habits, and describe them as aptly as I may. The King retired for a couple of hours pre viously to the dinner ; so you may feast on my description un til his return. The Privy Counsellors had vests anti hose of deep blue silk ; with mantles of blue satin lined with white. They had rufth, with black Spanish hats and plumes. The Registrar of the Order of the Garter, and a Knight (the Marquis of London derry), were in the splendid full dress of the order—a purple velvet mantle, with red velvet cape, &c. His Lordship's hat was enriched with most dazzling jewellery, and surmounted with an ample plume of whit e feathers. His Majesty's Vice- Chamberlain and the Comptroller of his Household were both in crimson velvet cloaks, with black hats and white feathers.— Their cloaks were laced with gold; their vests blue, slashed with white ; and their stockings, shoes, and rosettes, all white. The Treasurer of his Majesty's Household bore, in virtue of his office, the bag with the medals. Ile was dressed in a crimson velvet cloak ; and was succeeded by a Pursuivant of Arms, the Herald of Scotland, and the Herald' of Ireland, all in tabards ; the two latter with collars of SS. The Earl of Mayo, in his robes of estate, as a peer, carried the standard of Hanover, a red flag, bearing for its device a white horse, and preceded the barons. The noblemen of this rank immediately followed, the juniors walkin ,, first. They, as well as all the other peers, were in their robes of estate, namely, a crimson'velvet mantle, with an ermine cape, having two rows of spots, a white silk vest, breeches, stockings, and shoes, with white rosettes ; a crimson velvetsurcoat, andsword belt. The Lord Chamberlain of his Majesty's Household, in his robes of estate, was attended by an officer of the Jewel Of fice in a scarlet mantle, with a crown embroidered on his left shoulder, bearing a cushion, on which were placed the ruby ring, and the sword to be girt about the King. The Lord Steward of his Majesty's Household was also in his robes of estate. He was immediately succeeded by Earl Harcourt in his robes of estate, carrying the Royal Standard, a flag emblazoned with his Majesty's arms. Three Kiiigs' - of Arms followed, namely, the lonian, the Gloticester, and the Hanover, dust in their rich tabards. They carried their heraldic crowns in their hands as. they went to the Abbey, and on their return wore them on their heads. Dukes came next ; and then the three other Kings at Arms, namely, Ulster, Clarenceux, and Norroy, decorated as the former. The Lord Privy Seal and the Lord Presidt- of the Council wore their robes of estate; the Archbishops of Ireland, and the Archbishop of York, their black and lawn ; the Chancellor his robes of estate, with a full bottomed wig ; and the Arch-. bishop of Canterbury, like the other Prelates, black and lawn. The Lord Lyon of Scotland, and Garter Principal King of Arms, were in their rich tabards, with their crowns and sceptres. The Usher of the - Black Rod wore a scarlet dress slashed with white, a crimson mantle lined with white, with the Red Cross shield embroidered on his left shoulder, red stockings and sword-sheath, white shoes with red rosettes, and a black hat and feather : he carried in his hand the black rod. The Deputy Lord Great Chamberlain of England wore his robes of estate as a peer, and carried in his hand his white staff: Prince-Leopold was dressed in the full habit of the Order of the Garter, wearing a long purple velvet mantle, cap, and fea thers, and carrying in his right hand his Marshal's baton. His train was borne by gentlemen in the following dress—a white silk vest 'and' breeches edged with gymp, white.stookings, shoes, and rosettes, a blue velvet sword-belt and sheath,• a plain. blue satin cloak lined with whitesilk, and a black hat with white feathers.

The Train-bearers and Masters . of • the Robes were habited alike in a white satin dress, slashed and laced with gold, a crimson velvet cloak, laced with gold, ctimson velvet sword belt and sheath, white silk stockings, shoes, and rosettes, black hat and white feathers. The Gentlemen Pensioners wore a scarlet dress slashed with blue, and almost wholly covered with gold buttons, spread like lace over great part of thr... habit ; red silk stockings, white slims with red and black roses, white gloves, and a black hat with red and black feathers. The Lords Of. the King's Bedchamber had a peculiar dress, consisting of a blue vest slashed with white and gold lace, white stockings, shoes, and rosettes, a blue velvet sword-belt and sheath, a crimson velvet cloak laced with gold, and a black hat with whit?. feathers. The Keeper of his :Majesty's Privy Purse succeeded them.

The Gentlemen of the Bedchamber wore a blue dress edged with spangled gymp, and slashed with white, a plain blue satin cloak, lined with white; blue silk stockings, white shoes, with blue roses ; blue sword-belt and sheath, a black hat and white feather. There :—I think I have made up a dish of dress sufficient for the most inordinate female appetite. I now must forward. The King returned to the Hall precisely . at the time he promised, and took his seat at the table, on which was a noble displ a y o f gold plate. Previous to the King's entry, however, I should not omit to tell you that orders were issued that the middle of the Hall should be cleared, which occasioned a great consterna tion amongst groups of ladies, who were quietly and happily refreshing themselves in all directions. The order frayed them' like birds, and they were seen flitting up and down, without any place of rest. Lord Gwydir pursued them with the fury of a falcon, and he eventually succeeded in effecting a cl2arance. His Majesty wore his crown and mantle on his return, and the iJoyal DuleLs, and the Prince Leopold, sat near him at his table. The passage from the kitchen to the lower end of the Hall was now opened ; and the gentleman bearing the golden dis:bes for the first course were seen in regular line, ready to proceed to the King's table. At- this moment the doors at the end of the Hall were opened, the clarions and trumpets sound ing bravely at the time, • and the Duke of Wellington, as Lord ugh Constable, the arqucss of Anglesea, as Lord High Steward, and Lord filbward of Effingham, Ss De puty Earl Marshal, entered upon the floor on horseback. The Marquess of Angleae.a'a horse was a beautiful cream.: coloured Arabian; Lord Howard's was a dun; and the Duke's a white steed. After a short pause, they rode gracefully up to the royal table, followed by the gentlemen with the first course. When the dishes were placed on the board, the bearer; first re.; tired, with their faces towards the King . and then the noble horsemen retreated, by backing their steeds down the Hall, and out at the archway. Their noiseless steps on the blue cloth conveyed the idea that the horses had been shod With felt, ac cording to Lear's invention. The D u k e o f Wellington's white charger " walked away with himself" in the aptest manner ; but the Marqueta of Anglesea had great difficulty in persuad ing his Arabian to retiretailaveise. The company could hardly be restrained from applauding, although it was evident that a shout would have settled the mind of this steed in a eeetind, and have made him resolute against completing his un pleasant retreat. The pages soothed him before and'behind ; but he shook his head and tail, and paused occasionally, as if he had considerable doubts npoii the subject. '', Before the dishes veteeemieeraered, the Lord Great Chamber lain presented the basin mid ewer, to bathe his Majesty's hands, and the Lord of the -Manor of Hejalon attended with a rich towel. The dishes wee then bared ; and his Majety was ,I,elpeil e laa. tip? .e:u4a. to souse scup. He tasted it l Thai eaa.e. a source of endless wonder to a lady near rne. At the end of this course, the gates of the Hall were again thrown open, and a noble flourish of trumpets announced to all eager hearts that the Champion was about to enter: lie ad vanced under the gateway, on a fine pie-bald charger (an ill colour), and clad in complete steel. The plumes on his head were tri-coloured, and extremely magnificent ; and he bore in his hand the loose steel gauntlet, ready for the challenge. The Duke of Wellington was on his right hand ; the Marquess of Anglesea on his left. Wen he had come within the limits of the Hall, he was about to throw down his glove at once, so eager was he for the fray,—but the Herald distinctly said, " Wait till I have read the Challenge," and read it according ly,—the Champion husbanding his valour for a few minutes : If any person, of what degree soever, high or low, shall deny or gainsay our Sovereign Lord King tieorge the Fourth, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, son and next heir to our Sovereign Lord King George the Third, the last King deceased, to be right heir to the Im perial Crown of this United Kingdom, or that he ought not to enjoy the same, here is his Champion, who saith that he lieth, and is a false traitor ; being ready in person to combat with him, and in this quarrel will adventure his life against him on what day soever he shall be apkointed. At the conclusion of this " awful challenge," as a gentle. man near me termed it, the Champion hurled down his gaunt.. let, which fell with a solemn clash upon the floor. It rang in most hearts ! He then stuck his wrist again s t hi s st ee l e d side, as though to sho'fy how indifferent he was to the consequence of his challenge. This certainly had a very pleasing and gal lant effect. The Herald, in a few seconds, took up the glove, delivered it to the Squire, who kissed it, and handed it to the Champion. In the middle of the Hall the same ceremony Was performed ; •and at the fhot of •the royal platform it was a third time gone through. The king then d ran k hi s h ea l t h, and, me thinks, with real pleasUre, for the Champion h a d right gallant ly conducted himself. His Majesty then sent the cup to him ; and be, taking it, drank to the King, but in so low A tone, that I could only catch the meaning by the tumultuous shouts of the people. Tne noise seemed to awaken the courage of his horse ; but he mastered his steed admirably. The ceremony of backing out of the Hall was. then again performed, and successfully, wlall the exception of the Marquess of Anglesea's Arabian, whose doubts were not yet satisfied, and he was literally shown out by the pages. In Hall's Account of the Coronation of Henry. VIII. and Katherine of Arragon, there is a very quaint and interesting account of the challenge, which, as I think it will aptly trate this part of my letter, and serve to amuse you, 1 shall take leave to copy : " The seconde course beyng served, in at the haule doore en tered a Knylite armed at al poyntes, his - bases rich tissue em broudered, a great plume and a sumpteous of 'ostriche (ethers on his helmet, sittyng on a great courser trapped in tissue and embroudered with thannes of England and of Fraunce, and an herauld of armes before hymn. And passyng through the haul; presented • hyrnself with humble reverence before the Kynge's Majestic, to whom Garter Kynge of beraulds cried and said with a loud voyce, Sir Knyhte, from whence come you, and what is your pretence? This Knytcs name was Sir Robert Dimmoke, Champion to the Kyuge by tenour cf his enheri taunee, who answered the said Kynge.of armes in effecte after this manner. Sir, the place that 1 come from is not materiall, nor the cause of my repaire hyther is not concernyng any matter of any place or countrey, but onley this. And therewithal com manded his hcrauld to make an 0 YES.: Then said the Knyhte to the Kynge of arches, Now shal ye hear the cause of my comynge and pretence. Then 4e commanded his own herauld by prodamacion to saye : If there be any persone, of what estate or degree soever he be, that will safe or prove that King Henry the Eight is not the rightful enheritor and Kinge of this realm, I Sir Kohert Dimmoke here his champion Offre my glove, to fight in his querell with any persone to tbutterance. The champions • appear to have been more familiar in the olden time, and to have discoursed more freely with those about them ;—but perhaps the less that is said the better amongst fighting men ; so I shall not differ with our present Sir Knight on account of his solemn taciturnity. The same old writer, from whom I have given you the above description, speaks curiously of the pageants which were had to enliven the pro cession of Anne _Boleyn from the Tower to Westminster. The Three Graces, he tells us, took their stand on Cornhill, and the Cardinal Virtues in Fleet-street—a fountain of Helicon ran .Illienish wine ; and the Conduit in Cheep, with a laudable courtesy, spouted claret. But I must nut lose myself amongst books. On the Champion retiring, the second course was served up as before ; the Marquis's horse becoming more and more un.. mannerly. It was not amiss that his duties were over. Certain services were now performed, which generally ended in a Peer, or some other fortunate personage, carrying off a gold cup. The most interesting was the present of two falcons to his Majesty from the Duke of Athol. The Kink's health was about this time drunk with great ac clamations, and the national air of " God save the King" sung in a grand style. I think I never heard it sung better before. The King, standing up, drank to his people ; notice of which honour was communicated by the Dtike of Norfolk : and very ehortly afterwards (Non Nobis Domine having been sung, in which I heard the King take a part;) his Al ajesty retired amidst the joyous clanfours of his people. • I new descended into the body of the Hall, which was throng ed with splendour and beauty. Hock and champagne, and fruit and venison pasties, were passing and repassing ; and the mest brilliant ladies were snatching at all the good things of this world from officers and gentlemen waiters. I was not idle ; for having asked for a glass of water, and being informed " You get no water, take th e w i ne , G reat Potentate," I fell seriously to work upon a cherry pie, the nearest dish, and followed this victory up with others of a more decisive nature. I forgot that I had been famished ; and lifting up a cup of burgundy to my lips, declared that the fatigue of the day bad been nothing —a jest—a merriment—a thing to tell of to the little children of 1896 or to write to kind friends in 1821. . Before I quitted the banquet-room, I took the liberty of pocketing a sweetmeat doh phin, filched from the top of the Temple of Concord, which I shall long preserve amongst my scarce papers and curious coins, as a relic of the great Coro Cation Feast. Thus ended this splendid day. I have detailed the particulais of the pageant as faithfully as possible ; and I only hope that the length of my letter, and its tedious minuteness, will not weary yqu. I have purposely ab stained from any political• discussion about the exclusion of the Queen, or her Majesty's morning visit, because 1 only intend ed a description of the pageant, and I knew that you cared not to Dave a repeatedly discussed . subjeCt discussed again. In the same manner I shall desist from sobering the conclusion of My letter with any solemn 'reflections on the events of the day, —you have the mind to reflect for yourself, if this Alexandrine of a letter will allow you the time. Do not fail to tell me liQw you all "like the play," and to what extent you have envied me. I think I see Mrs. struck calmly mad'at the profusion of satin. - I am, &c. July, 1821. ED. HERBERT. P. S. If you covet the dolphin, I will send it to you ; but it is a curiosity you must keep from children. I wish I could pack you up a Knight of the Bath in all his glory ; but fear he would not bear the carriage. *** We regret that the influx of temporary matter so long retarded the conclusion of the above account 1) f the Coronation, which is, written with a spirit suitable to the respectable publica. t ier' Whence it was derived.
