THE LADY GODITA PROCESSION dr COVIIPTRE

After the lapse of several years (says the Bit-
sting/an Daily Post) this celebrated pageant will be re-
vived at Coventry*. the 23rd of this month, with, we are
informed, unweeedenteal pomp thcifinagnifieenoe. The pro-
cession, which will be upwards of a mile in length, will
comprise about 300 men, 70 children, and 150 horses. The
chief character represented—" Lady Godiva "—will be
borne by a " beautiful female," gracefully and becomingly
attired, who will ride, as of yore, on a cream-coloured
' charger, and be surrouoded by a bevy of little and
prettily-dressed and mounted damsels. Among other at-
tractive end interesting features at the pageant, there
will be fourteen "silty guards," clad in salts of old iron
armour, being part of the antiquities in the possession
of the corporation ; •
,lrge gaily -decorated car, emblematic
of the Seasons," Leofric" (the husband of Godiva),
"Edward the Black Prince," " Richard II.," "Henry IV.,
" Henry VL and his Queen," " Queen Elizabeth," '• A
Shepherd and Shepherdess in 'bower," " William and Adam
Bottmer " (former citizens of Coventry, end who built the
tallest of the "three tall spire"), "Sir Wm. Burials"
(the famous antiquarian and author of the "History of
Warwickshire"), Ise. The procession will include ten brass
bands, and there will be an almost infinite variety of flags,
banners, and other decorative appointments. Arrange-
ments have been made with Mr. Siromends, of London, the
well-known costumier, for the supply of the principal
dresses, which will be of the most superb and costly
description. Several of the leading railway companies
have arranged to run special GICUISIOII thus' to Coventry
on the occasion, and there will doubtless be a large influx
of visitors to witness the procession, aid the ItItOSTOWI
interesting objects of antiquity which ars to be found in the
old city.

THE EXPLOSION IN BISHOPSOATE,STREET.

Considerable crowds were collected during the
whole of yesterday around the same of the late terrible
catastrophe in Bishopegstastreet, and much excitement
prevailed in the early part of the day. owing to its being
positively stated by the wives of the men lying injured
in the hospital that two of the workmen employed at the
chemical works of Mr. Boor, where the explosion took
plaa, were still missing, and doubtless buried in the rains.
Notwithstanding both the police sad the firemen felt con-
Meet that such was not the case, to allay the public
anxiety upon the subject a body of labourers were set to
work to turn over the immense heaps of bricks and wood-
work, and they continued their labour. until'a late hour
in the aftereoon, but without finding any trace of the men
mid to be missing. Owing, however, to the force of the
a:plaice, mid the rapidity and fieTODINOI of therei which
ensued, it is possible that their bodice may have been wholly
destroyed. While engaged in the above work several articles
of value were toned, and amoapt other things a shop-till
full of mosey. Much Vmpathy is falt for the fate of the
unfortunate nervaat gist who had
made her escape from
the hernia( psemres, but suddenly recollecting that there
was • child of her master's lying in bed in an
upper room, in spite of the remonstrance. of the
firemen rushed back into the house with the view
of saving the child, and there met with her horrible
death. Their' Petunias were found in the passage of the
house, thegirl hautgin the child in her arms, burnt to a cin-
der. The five seal the hospital still survive, but
enduring sack owing to the *stint of their

idiom it is topsadared that the past al tie street where it
took piths tar wide se Iteesetetrese, sad that the home
en tbewia%ite aids of the way bad atisaly the whole of
their Moira cat. The impost win he bold .this
