THE CORONATION OF THE KING OF

HUNGARY.

The beautiful and romantic scene of the corona-
tion ceremony at Pesth is described in fitting terms by the
special correspondent of the Timer (Dr. W. H. Russell).
In writing it he has to contend with its extreme likeness
to the effect which the theatre struggles to render of a
great pomp. One might as well, he says, try to fix on
paper without the aid of the brush all the combinations
of light at such a time as to attempt to describe the
pageant. The actual coronation took place in the 'mall
chapel at the Buda side, which only holds 800 or 900
persons, of whom more than half were members of the
two houses. The diplomatic body were in attendance at
the church by 7 o'clock, at which time magnates
were galloping to and fro near the bridge, with such saddle-
cloths, such holster-caps, such housings, glittering with
jewels, silver, and gold, with reins of precious metal, in
chains and bands—ehevrons of solid silver, mounted with
ostrich and golden pheasant and argue plumes. The quiet
bask streets were filled with shoals of wild-looking
peasants, sitting down in dirt-stained garments, while the
window-seats and platforms, stretching three miles from
the outside of the palace of Buda to the Town-hall-square
of Pesth, were filled with people, and resplendent with
deoorattons.
Having taken the coronation oath in the church, his
Majesty descended to the lowest step before the altar, and
lay prostrate at fall length on his face, while the Pri-
m►te read the Litany, the bishops giving the responses,
all kneeling. Daring these prayers the Primate ruse from
his knees, and with his episcopal staff in hie left hand
twits, made the sign of the cross over the prostrate form of
his Majesty ; the bishops, kneeling, did the same.
At the conclusion of the Litany his Majesty was
conducted behind the altar, where he laid aside his
pelisse, kalpack, and sabre, and prepared for the
unction. Returning with his attendants, his Ma-
jesty knelt before the altar, and there was anointed
with the holy oil by the Primate. This part of the cere-
mod, excited much interest. As the Primate poured the
oil on his Majesty's right arm and between the shoulders
he prayed reverently, and when the ceremony was over,
the King rising went behind the altar, where the super-
fluous unction was dried, and reappeared after a time and
walked to the foot of the throne, where he knelt down
and seemed to pray. While he was thus kneeling the
Lord High Chamberlain and Marshal of the Court and
officiating prelates approached with the royal mantle of
Stephen, and placed it solemnly over his shoulder.
Then high mass began to the blare of trumpets and the
roll of kettle drums. The Prince Primate read the office
to the conclusion of " graduale," when, attended by his
prelates, he went to the altar, where the regalia were de-
posited. The King, surrounded by his officers of high
state and dignity, having arisen, was led to the altar,
where he knelt lowly and bowed his bead to the Primate,
who placed the naked sword of St. Stephen on his hand
with the words of the formula :

" Accipe glagium de altar' sumptum per 'mitres menus
Host indignas vice tamen SS. Apostolorum consecrates.
Tibi regaliter concessum, nostrieque benedictionis officio in
detansionem S. Ecclesbe Del divinitus ordinatum."

The Primate having received back the sword from the
Emperor, who now rose,put it into the sheath and fastened
the belt round his loins with the words:

" Accingere gladio tuo super tuum, potentissime, et at-
tende, quod sancti femur non in glarlio, sed per fidem
vicerunt reams."
And then the King, standing erect, and turning his face
to the people, drew the ancient blade, and with vigorous
band made the steel flash in the light as he cut first in
front, then to the right and then to the left, according to
tradition, and returned the sword to its sheath, while
the artillery thundered out • salvo from outside.
The King next advancing knelt on the highest step
of the altar, and there the Archbishop of Gran, as
Prince Primate, and Count Andrassy, representing the
Palatiae, put the crown of SL Stephen on his head,
The Primate, with his hands on the crown, gave the
blessing, and presented his Majesty first with the sceptre
in his right and the globe in his left, with the formula, as
follows :—"Accipe virgam Tirtutis ac veritatis, qua intelli-
gas, to obnoxium couture pios, terrcre reprobm." Having
done this the Primate removed the sword of St. Stephen
from the King's side, and returned it to the Royal Hun-
garian Cup-bearer, and when that was done the second
salvo was fired, and a phase of the ceremony ended. The
King was now ready to be enthroned. With the Primate
on one band and an archbishop on the other, the
King, preceded by eleven magnates, was conducted to the
throne, and took his place on it with much solemnity.
The Primate, standing on his right, pronounced the words,
—" Ste et retina • mode locum quam hue usque paterei
successions tenuisti hareditani jure tibi a Deo delegatuns
per auctoritatem omnipotentis Dei." Count Andrassy
made a sign, and at once the whole assembly burst into an
" Ellen!" which was repeated three times with thrilling
effect. The cannon thundered from the Blocksberg•—the
bells of Buda and Pesth burst out into chimes. The King
was crowned. As crowned King lie presented Ifs consort
to the Primate, and demanded that she should becrowned;
and another service commenced, the crown and insignia
being laid on the altar. The service for the Queen was
similar to that of the King.
On leaving church the magnificent procession, which is
described at great length and with much spirit by Dr.
Russell, wound round by the quays and the street of
Pesth till his Majesty mute to the square in front of the
parish church. Here a tribune was erected three feet
high, covered with cloth of gold, on which the King took
his stand, and there, in the presence of the people, raising
three fingers of the right hand to Heaven, and holding
aloft • crucifix in his left, he, with his face to the east,
took the oath, which was read to him by ths Primate,
amid three tremendous Elena" and salvos and volleys of
musketry. The procession returned to the Franz-Joseph
II Plata by another route, and there took place the last
ceremonial of the 'word-striking.
On emerging from the bridge, at the Pesth side, an
artificial mound was seen, and in the square in which it
was formed the most interesting event of the day occurred.
The balcony from which the Empress and the ladies of
her Court viewed it was on one side of the square—the
tribunes and seats of the magnates and the officers of state
and of the diplomatic body surrounded it. Suddenly, at
11.30, them appeared from behind the angle which con-
coaled part of the mound from view a stately figure on a
white horse, with drawn sword. He was alone on the
Kronungshugel—the ancient crown on his head, the old
robe on his shoulders, his horse prancing with excitement
—the King of Hungary. Witb • right royal bearing
he held his blade aloft, and with bis face towards
the east, and riding to the extremity of the mound
cut towards the land of the Turk. If he spoke, his
words were inaudible in the cry of the people. Then he
swiftly turned to the west, and his sabre shone as he
lowered his point. Again he wheeled his horse towards
the south, and cut again, and the sword cross was completed
when he made his sword glean, towards the north. Such
cries of " Eljen !"—such shouts. It was a tremendous
enthusiasm. The King rode down, and was long prancing
about in the midst of his magnates, waiting till his turn
came to cross the bridge back to Buda. The mob rushed
in, and in an instant the whole square was filled with the
people shouting. They clambered on the mound, tore
down the scarlet cloth and divided it, and cried " Kljen !"
till the welkin rang. Baron Beust came in for • share of
the popular applause. At last the day was over for the
King and his immediate attendants.

No less than nine goods trains leave the South-
ampton terminus daily for London. Each train contains
about 50 wagons, and each wagon carries on the average
about Ave tons, or about 2,200 tons daily. Formerly no
engine used to weigh more than 20 tons, but the engines
that drag these enormous train. 25 miles an hour weigh
50 tons each. The traffic that employs these trains Is
chiefly from the Channel Islands and France. Such is the
rapidity of travelling now, that Spanish eggs cross the
Pyrenees, pass through France, and arrive in London
almost in time to be sold for new laid owes.

THE CHANCELL)R oF THE EXCHEQUER ON
THE REFORM BILL AND THE rOLICY OR THE
TORIES.

Yesterday the speeches were delivered according
to custom in the schoolroom of the Merchant Taylors'
School. In the evenit.g the usual entertainment was
given by the muter and wardens, at which the chief
speakers were the Earl of Cardigan, Admiral Walcott, and
the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The Mastro, in proposing the health of " Her Majesty's
Ministers," said that it was • toast which " unfortunately
they had not been enabled to give on late occasions in that
hall with entire satisfaction." They were honoured by
the presence of the leading minister of the crown—at
least, he might say, the leading minister in the House of
Commons, who " had shown such consummate knowledge,
tact and ability in his management of the business before
the House of Commons, as he believed no other member
of that body could have displayed. The result was, that
by his extraordinary ability, tact, and adroitness, • mea-
sure which had baffled the exertions of his opponents
during many years had been brought within half • ses-
sion to a conclusion which he hoped and believed would
be satisfactory to the countty."
The CasscriLoa of the Excusers:a, in the course of
his reply, said, " You, sir, have originated what I should
not have volunteered—l should have been most unwilling
to notice anything which could lead to political contro-
versy—but you have referred to a moat important political
measure with which, from my position in the House of
Commons, lam in some degree connected. (Cheers.) Sir,
I classy this on that subject, that it is cue whisk ham raw
for aStermber of yews perplexed and interested the country,
and hitherto no attempt at the solution of the difficulties
connected with it has recommended itself to public appro-
bation. Hitherto it has been considered that, by r.using
a certain section of the working classes in a manner,
we think, scarcely consistent with national dignity, by
declaring a limited portion of them skilled mechanics, and
loading them with epithets from which good taste some-
times recoiled, an effort was made to establish a body
which should have the command of the constituencies of
the country. I think that is a policy the most dangerous
and the most disastrous, and to which we have offered an
undeviating opposition. Called upon ourselves to deal
with the question, we have endeavoured to take a larger
view of it. We have endeavoured to consider it as one in
the management of which we must not merely look at the
means of discountenancing the influence of a rival party,
but rather of establishing some system which might con-
duce to the permanent contentment and greatness of the
nation. (Cheers.) We have sometimes been aided why we,
who opposed a measure that was brought forward last year,
that in some respects was limited in its character, can
now conscientiously introduce and uphold • measure much
wider in its consequences and in its arrangements. Sir,
it appears to me that the answer to this is extremely easy,
and one which is perfectly consistent, not only with our
sense of duty but with the nature of the circumstances
that surround us. We looked upon the measure of butt
year as one which, if carried, would have seriously injured,
if not destroyed, the conservative party, and which at the
same time would not have satisfied the requirements of
the state. We believe that the measure we have brought
forward is one which will not injure the conservative
party, but will satisfy the requirements of the state.
(Loud cheers.) We have endeavoured to found our urea-
sure upon a broad and deep foundation, and in our opinion
we must err in our estimate of the character of the English
people if the consequences of the measure we have pro-
posed are such as some think—based upon too limited and
contracted a view of the institutions of this country. What,
I should like to ask, are the institutions that will be en-
dangered by it' Is it the monarchy of England' Can we
believe that the great body of the people of this country are
hostile to the monarchy of England I believe that from those
days of splendour when large bodies of her Majesty's sub.
hacts, covered with stars and ribands, assembled around
er Majesty, she has not been surrounded by subjects
more devoted than those she will find among the toiling
millions of this country at the present moment. (Cheers.)
Is it, then, the parliament of England that is endangered'
Why, what is all this agitation about but • desire on the
part of • great portion of the people to become more in.
timately acquainted with one of the houses of parliament
—the House of Commons' For let me remind you, and
it is important at the present day, although the House of
Commons is about to undergo a great change, that change
is notoccasioned by any feeling of discontent with the con-
stitution of the House of Commons, but, on the contrary,
it arises from a certain degree of estimation, even of ad-
miration, of that institution and its effects. (Cheers.) So
far as the other house of parliament is concerned, he
must, indeed, have mistaken the character of the English
people who supposes that an assembly, consisting of
the greatest champions of freedom—connected with the
Mirage and influenced so much by the traditions of
—would be injuriously affected by this measure.
(Cheers.) Why, the only criticism I ever heard with re-
ference to the House of Lords is that they are not more
forward to take part in public affairs. (Cheers.) Is it,
then, theChurchof England that is indanger in consequence
of the change we have intraluced It is not for me to
criticise the conduct of the House of Commons, but I hope
there is no member of that house who will be found to
express& belief that in consequence of the measures we have
introduced the Church of England will be in more danger
than it is at present. (Cheers.) Am I told in this ball, in
the centre of the great commercial metropolis of England,
that great danger will arise from the new constituency with
reference to the system of taxation, and that an attempt will
be made to throw the burden of taxation on property which
will end in a recurrence to the old protective system' Why
these two objects destroy each other. (Cheers.) It would be
quite impossible to re-enact the old protective system, agd
at the same time to throw the whole burden of taxation
on property. So far from having these results, the mea-
sure we have proposed will, according to the unanimous
opinion of my colleagues, add to the strength and spirit of
the community. (Cheers). There is one point on which I
would venture to touch before I sit down. It has some-
times been said that the conservative party is always to
do nothing. That appears to me a great mistake. I have
always protested against that opinion. I believe that in
this great country there must be two great bodies in the
state conscientiously performing their duties, and lam quite
sure that if the conservative party act upon the dogma to
which I have referred, it will end in the gradual decline
and decrepitude of that party. These were not the opinions
of the tory parte in better days; these were not the
opinions of Mr. Pitt. He was not content to be the drag
chain of a party. He felt it his duty to originate those
groat opinions and advise those great measures which
never were followed without adding to the strength, the
glory, end the greatness of the country. (Chem.) Those
were not the opinions of the great statesmen of the reign
of Queen Anne, on which Mr. Pitt modelled his commer-
cial and political opinions. (Cheers.) True, we are on
the eve of a great change. Believe me that the elements
of demos do not exist in England. England is •
countryof c , and the change that is impending in
this country will only make these classes more united,
more complete, and more cordial. (Cheers.) I arc warned
by the example of America, but there is no similarity
between the United States and the United Kingdom. The
United States are still colonies, because colonies do not
cease to be colonies because they become independent.
They have all the elements of democracy, they have the
unbounded possession of land end no trailition; we have a
very limited possession of land and a vast and enormous
artificial and comp) cated system entirely consistent with
and sustained by traditionary influences. Therefore, I
believe that the nation, after • long period pondering on
its state, and feeling that there should be some great I
change in its political system, has resolved and determined
upon the course that ought to be pursued, and although I
hope I am as sensible to the feeling of patriotism as any man
of this country, I own I sin mewl and happy that the con-
duct of this great change, which I believe will add to the
greatness and glory of our country, has fallen to the tory
party. (Cheers.)

According the American papers the export of
pineapples had commenced at Havannah. Two vessels
had left there for New York with 60,000 pineapples on
board. The export of salt from Turk's Island but year
amounted to 37,0001. worth. The value of property de-
stroyed in the island by the late hurricane amounted to

THE HOP FLANTSTIONS.-110CHESTER, JUNE 11.
—The recent fine weather, with the warm days and nights,
have proved exceedingly beneficial to the young hop plants,
the whole of the grounds throughout the district exhibit-
ing a marked improvement, while the young bine is push-
ing forward vigorously to the top of the pole.. There is
still a great quantity of vermin to be seen on the plant,
but the heavy thiurderebowers of last week had the effect
of cleaning the bine, in many of the plantations, from fly
and lice, which had commenced their ravages to a consi-
derable extent. Already some of the tartest hop planter.
have commenced washing their plants with a mixture of
tobacco juice to lessen the vermin. Inmany of the cold and
poorer gardens the plants look very sickly and of had
colour, but should the present hot weather continue they
will daily improve. The reports from the Sussex hop gar-
dens are not of an encouraging character, fly being on the
increase, while the cold ungenial weather prevents the
plants making any very considerable progress. The hop
market oontinuea to improve, and in consequence of the
unfavourable nature of the reports from the several die-
tricts, prices are very firm and business pretty active.

MR. GLADSTONE AND THE COMPOUND
RATING QUESTION.

A deputation of vestry clerks, representative of-
the committee appointed by the various metropolitan
parishes to consider and report what means can be.
adopted to avert the impending loss of parochial rates
through the paring of Mr. Hodgkinsoe's amendment to
the Reform Bill, had a conference, by previous appoint-
ment, with Mr. Gladstone, at his private residence, in
Carlton-bouscsterrace, on Monday afternoon. The num-
hers of the deputation were :—Mr. Gieenvrell (Meryl*,
bone), Mr. Mitchelk(Whitechapel), Mr. Layton (Islington),
Mr. Hopwood (Holborn), and Mr. Southwell (Mile-lend
Old-town).
Mr. GEZENWLI.I., in addressing Mr. Gladstone, stated
that the passing of 2,1-. Hodgkinson's amendment would
canoe the loss of an enormous amount of rates to parishes.
That amendment was supported both by Mr. °iodates' and
thegovernment, andas the injury which would be indicted
upon the parishes came principally from that side of the
house of which he was the leader, they had come to con-
sult him on what was to be d..ne under the circumstances:
As the measure was a government one they had consulted
the Poor-law Board, that board being the guardians of
the rates of the metropolis, and unconnected with the
political aspect of the matter. The subject had been
inquired into at various times by committees of the house
and the Poor-law Commissioners, and they by their report
condemned the system of rating the occupier, as leading to
%. t lomat rates without any counterbalancing advanvZ
• obtained. The Small Tenements Act did sot
So there min long seha,..and *brim
' Setrswith the enesepolls, where local sets were in
toms. The object of these sets wee stated in the pre:.
ambles.

Mr. ilLAtmtroxe—Why in most of the local acts do you
bring in the limit of !M. and downwards?
Mr. GIIINWELL could not conceive.
Mr. GLapertme—What do you expect to lose, my of
every 1,0001. you now get from the landlord, considering
the reduced amount you will receive from him and the
rates uncollected?

Mr. thurzNwELL was unable to eat for certain, but •
member of the deputation had calculated that 25 per cent.
would be lost.

Mr. GLanaroNn—That is equal to ooc-half a composi-
tion rate.

Mr. Gamins-au. maid there were a very large number of
houses is Marylebone the rate of which would be seriously
affected.

Mr. Gi.storroxe—They are compounded for.
Mr. GRESIFWEI.L. said them were conitairatively fes com-
pounded for. They only compounded where the landlpnl
owned a row of houses. Marylebone did not care for com-
position.
Mr. SOLTHWELI., of Mile-end Old-town, said that his
parish did care for composition, as they compounded for a
very large number of houses.
Mr. GIALMTONZ—I believe there are three advantages
that parishes derive from the compounding system : first,
they saved the trouble of collection; secondly, a lade
amount of rates was collected which would otherwise
never be collected at all; and thirdly, they avoided the
necessity of inquiring whether houses were full or empty.
Mr. GIMENWILLL stated that their desire was, by some
means, to continue to rate the owners instead of the

GLADNTONE—Rave you agreed AS to any proposition

said they had agreed upon a proposition
which would meet their views, but perhaps it would not
meet political exigencies.
Mr. GLADSTONE—For my own part I think it wee perfect
folly to make this bill interfere in any way with any
arrangement of the parishes about the rates. If parliament
had taken care that the rates were paid, I could have
understood it, but I cannot understand the interference
with the convenience of the public. I wish to say that
one party in the house has no views on the subject, and is
not responsible in any degree for this interference. I
have deprecated it all along and have imputed to it as I
would ament to cut off my leg rather than lose my life, on
the principle of choosing the lesser evil. The majority of
the house has however agreed to it, and the question ie
can a proposal be made to meet the views of the majority
MIA at the mom time meet the difficulty. If you address
me as representing one of the parties, what do you waist
Mr. OREM:WELL said what world suit them was that
the rating of the owner should be extended to cases
where houses were let furnished, or for a less term than
one year, or where the annual rout did not exceed Ilf.
They did not wish to suggest anything which would re-
tard the passing of a bill, or continue an agitation which
inflicted a serious lose upon the trade and commerce of the
metropolis.
Mr. GLAnwirmz—Your INcopemition would not bring you
into conflict with me, but tt will with the nahseity of the
house. _ _ _

Mr. ORLEIINVKLL begged to say they did not promote the
giving sr withholding of votes, but meiely dealt with the
financial part of the question.
Mr. th.staroNe—l have proposed my mode and it has
been rejected. I id that a man ...oh! have a vote
whether his landlord or himself were rived. The house
rejected that by • majority of 21. My object was to
avoid interfering in any way with the collection of the
rates. There is no doubt that a great deal of the composi-
tion arises out of the weekly tenancies, and it is perfectly
absurd to propose to ask a man who hoe a seven days'
holding under his landlord to pay a six months' rate so as
to place him in relation to the pariah for six months whilst
he only has a holding for a week.
Mr. SOUTHWF.LL suggested an adjournment of the
subject.
Mr. GLADISTONC—I do not think you can postpone it, for
that would interfere with the political object of the house.
There has been a great deal of idle talk and jeering about
the compound householder, as if he were a chimpenthe or
an ourang-outang, whereas three-fourths of the population
were holding houses under 111/. Therefore the legis-
lation upon this point was the Lefortn Bill.
The real Reform hill was not settled by any
measure or motion until the passing of Mr.
Hodgkineon's amendment. The house meant that the
name of the occupier should be on the rate book, but that
he should be under full legal liability for the payment of
the rates. Is it or is it not compatible with these two pur-
pose* of the House of Commons that you should make ar-
rangements with the owners, either voluntarily or by
enactment, which will enable you practically to collect the
rates from the owner! There is no doubt that it is almost
a social necessity that you should do so.
Mr. GREENWELL said they might put both the owner
and the occupier on the rate book, making kith liable, but
the objection to that on the part of the land!eni was that
he would have to pay the rates for his tenant when that
tenant perhaps, ran sway without paying his rant.
Mr. tkateerose—What I mean is that you might make
such an arrangement by making an allowance to the land-
lord as still to collect the rates from him. Without any
allowance being made the landlord pays the rates in e
large number of parishes, especially in Liverpool. These
are not under the Compounding Act or the Small
Tenements Act, and yet the rates are obtained from the
owner. Why not remunerate the owner, anal employ Lim
as your collector!
Mr. Gar.t..rweth objected to this suggestion, that if the
occupier were legally reaponaible, the lassillord would hums
him to the mercy of the bailiff and not pay the rate.
Mr. South W!LL also objected that if a tenant had paid
his rent up they could only distrein for an :utiount equal to
one week's rent—say five shillings.
Mr. Otamtroire—Under the Small Tenements Act you
could diatrain fur the whole amount. The collation sense
of the iaauie is in the first place to consider whether you
GM make some arrangement by law or ant without coming
across the arrangement of the House of Vommone—the
entering of the name on the rate-book. There seems to he
a notion in the house that there is some sort of eacurilt
for a man's virtue in his liability for a rate.
Mr. Mircilau, asked what benefit could be offered to
the landlord.

Mr. GLADwrings—What bas been very neatly termed a
" profitable contract." In a large number of in dances
already the landlord voluntarily undertakes the payment
of the r.ites, as in Liverpool, without any allowance. They
find sufficient inducement without. A man wishing to
become a weekly tenant would look out for a Idiot where
he had only to pay his week's rent. You want to avoid
three things—the trouble of obtaining information, the
da.ter of dealing with uncertain temoits. end the t-noble
of collection. If you gain your object, why should yea
not pay the landlord for it He can collect the rates
easily, because he must collect his rent.
Mr. Gasisuni. thought the plan would not noosed
unless they forced the landlord to it whether he liked it
or not. _ .

Mr. GLarwroxi—For my own part I PM convinced that
before five years have plastid we shall return to the present
system. We are not such idiots as to incur inconvenience
for nothing at all. At present it would be much better to
ask parliament for power to make a voluntary arran;e.
meut rather than a compulsory one.
The conference continued fur a considerable period
longer, the deputation urging, in objection to Mr. Glad-
stone's proposal, that 4reat difficulty would arise in settling
the rate of remuneration to the landlords, as some would
require more than others, and tle the question of se-
curity where the arrangement was not compulsory would
create a difficulty.
Mr. GLADSTONY. replied, that when once • voluntary
arrangement had been made the security would be as good
as at present; and in conclusion he said, "Any proposal
for relieving the parishes of this difficulty aimll, for Im.y
part, have every prejudice in its favour. I cannot speak
stronger than that."
The deputation having promised to seriously entertain
Mr. Gladstone's propo, and having thanked him for his
kindness, withdrew.
