WARI

THE GODITA PROcifiiOri AT COVENTRY took place
on Monday, when Madame Warton, in a t,ght-fitting pink
silk dress, sustained the chief character by riding through
the town on one of Mr. Batty's white horses. The Co-
ventry Herald says : " Large as was the influx of visitors
contributed by common stages, herse, and foot, it was pro.
digiously augmented by the torrent of human beings poured
into the town in rapid succesnion by the railway trains,
which, from authentic information, we are enabled to state,
brought into Coventry on that day the amazing number
of 15,600 persons, 3,800 of whom were by the Wswick and
Leamington branch ; and by the ame authority we learn
that there were more passengers by the trains to Coventry on
this occasion than by these to the great agricultural show
last year at Northampton. In fact, old Mventry at last
presented one huge stulace of moving life. In various
parts of the town had been erected triumphal arches of great
height, ornamented with flower, and evergreens; and of whisk
verdant materials wreaths were suspended aklol4 the public
thoroughfares in =say other places. Many private houses
were ale) similarly decorated in front. The cavalcade started
at 11 o'clock, headed by M. Wombwell's elephant bearing
a castle, and thus forming a living and literal representation
of the City Arms of Coventry. The sagacity and docility
with which the creature threaded its way in the midst of a
dense throng through the streets for four hours was truly
remarkable. Madame 18 arton's performance of Hoehn
was regarded as highly satisfactory. She was attired
in a close-fitting elastic silk dress, of pinky-white colour,
entire from the neck to the toes, excepting the arms, which
were uric, vexed; over this a simple white satin tunic,
edged with gold fringe, completed her riding habit.
Her only head-dress was the perlectly unartificial sod not
very profuse supply of glossy black hair, simply braided in
front, and hanging down, slightly confined behind. Mounted
on a milk-white steed, a clever equestrian, and maintaining
a pure demeanour, she was repeatedly cheered in the course
of the route. Mr. Warton, her husband, rode • short die.
tance in the rear, as Edward the Black Prince, clad in a suit
of mail. Queen Margaret, Sir John Falstaff, Robin Hood,
Friar Tuck, William and Adam llotoner, the celebrated
Mayors of Coventry ; Sir Thomas White, its great benefac-
tor; and Sir W. Dugdale, the eminent local historian, also
found representatives in the cavalcade. Last in the proces-
sion was a "sylvan bower bearing the Sheph. rd and Shep-
herdess,"—a capacious platform furnished with flowers,
fountains, and foreign birds in golden cages. The fleecy
lambs and faithful dog formed an object which attracted all
eyes, while the arbour of evergreens rising and tapering off
to the height of forty feet, formed a magnificent finish to the
cavalcade. The show concluded at 3 o'clock."

ANOTHER BOILER EXPLOSION.—A correspondent,
writing under date, Dudley, Friday evening, says : " For
the second time within .the short apace of three weeks we
have to record one of those appalling accidents which have
of late been of such frequent occurrence in this district, and
attended with such terrible consequences. The scene of the
