We cannot take our leave of dolt gay pageant,
without retuning our warmest acknowledgments
to Lord Gwydyr, the Deputy Great Chamberlain,
. and his Secretary, Mr. Fellowea, both for our
own part and for that of the public, for the zeal
uod uttention with which every facility compatible
with the necessary arangements of the day was ef.
forded to the Gentlemen connected with the Press,
towards enabling them to convey the most speedy

illuminated. On board of it was a band of music,
which continually played some lively and popular
siis, and contributed very much to the pleasing
effect of the scene. The barge was towed by four
boats, which were also handsomely illuminated by
variegated lamps. and was attended by ten others
similarly ornamented, the whole presenting an al).
pesrunce equally novel and brilliant, and appeared
to afford considerable gratificattou to all who were
assembled to witness it.

In the neighbourhood of the place appointed for
the display of the fire-works were several swings and
show-booths, such as are to be seen at the various
fairs in and near the metropolis. It is unnecessary
to observe that such things are shocking nuisances
wherever they appear. The crowd was frequently
annoyed, and indeed the safety of the females some-
times endangered, by the wicked practice of dis-
chiming crackers and other preparations of gun.
powder amidst grouper of people. Constables
ought to be on the alert to check this dangerous
practice, by arresting the miscreants who are guilty
of the offence.
THE GREEN PARE.
The Green Park having been selected for the
inflation sod ascent of the balloon, presented at an
early hOur so *unmated and interesting scene. A
party of the horse artillery had, on the preceding
evening, marched from Woolwich and pitched three
or four. marquees on the elevated ground, which
had an exceedingly pretty effect. Six pieces of
field artillery were drawn up at a short distance
Com the marquees, and an open spare of about
100 yards square, was kept, by a few hussars, free
from the intrusion of the multitude. A royal salute
was fired by these pieces of cannon at nine o'clock
in the morning. The crowd, which had for some
time been gradually increasing, now began to pour
into the park in a rapid stream, mid soon formed
of itself a spectacle that was well deserving of ad-
miration. The beautiful enclosure of the Green
Park presented at every point assemblages of peo-
ple. The day was peculiarly fine not a cloud
intervened to detract from its brilliancy, and as
the nature of the solemnity to which it was devoted
made it a perfect holiday, there was an emulous
gaiety in the dress of all who crowded to the scene
of amusement. This added considerably to its

beauty, and all seemed pleased with themselves,
and with every thing about them. The inflation of
the balloon was a work of tedious labour, and its
progressive increase in magnitude was watched
by thousands of expectant ryes with eager anxiety.
The balloon was filled, as we understand. from the
main gas-pipe which runs along Piccadilly, and it
was for the convenience of effecting this operation
that the balloon was placed on the north bank of
the basin, directly in front of the Duke of Devon.
shire's house in Piccadilly. The balloon, as their
inflation of the gas extended its ample foLds,
played the royal arms elegantly emblazoned, wilt(
other ornaments. Around it ran a deep belt,
on which were inscribed. in large gold letters,
" George IV. Royal Coronation Balloott." It
was covered entirely by a net, from the bottom of
which was suspended a beautiful boat, the keel part
of which WPM covered with matted silver, and the
gunwale tie-poly cured in bttntisbed gold. At

At a genetsl meeting of the York Whig Club,
held in that city on Monday le►t, it was revolved
that ti:e expense of the Coronation is • needier,
waste of the public money ; and that although it
has been stated by the 'Privy Council that her
MAJESTY cannot claim to be crowed as • right,
the meeting are decidedly of opinion that the
ought to be crowned. Thanks were at the same
time voted to Mr. riots. 51r. WxvILL, and
