Parfait, JULY 21.
The gratifying task is ours to take the lead in thoseribing
the patriotic mod triumphant in which the Coroaa-
lion of our excellent King was celebrated by his loyal
subjects of Devon and Exeter. Long ere the lark had hailed
the dawn, the tuneful bells of St. SidwelN had scared the
bird of night to his biding-place. At day-break, discharges
of artillery aad small arms announced the arrival of the
auspicious day, when the mutual pledge of Sovereign and
people was to be made at the altar of God. At eight, the
bells of the Cathedral pealed their majestic tours, and rung
at intervals daring the day, aided by the humbler spires of
the parochial churches. At the suggestive of the Mayor,
hominess was suspended, and the iutivibitaots throwied the
streets in their holiday shire. Athalf-past 'levels the Right
Worshipful the Mayor sod Municipal Body, accompanied by
• great member of the respectable inhabitants, charity

they proceeded to the Cathedral in the following procession:

On their arrival near oh- cathedral, the organ played
"God sari Ike King," and continued it until the procession
had entered the choir. alien divine service commenced.

racks, anal fired several volleys and fear-de jute; they were

poorer class of the community was not (Ovine,' in their
respective parishes. At Meat there was a brilliant display
of fire-works in the Crithedral•yarcl; and, although at the
late General lie, tine of the inhabitant., the idea of as ills-
initiation was superseded by the more useful one of regaling
the poor, the loyalty of numerous individuals weld nut be
relwcsscdr and some elegant trausparencies, and various de-
vices in lamps were exhibited. In fine, Exeter was alive
with festivity from the earliest dawn of day till long otter the
hour of midnight. Ii was a day of exultation and triumph;
and nothing was stinting to support that character fur
loyalty which liaa ever marked this ancient city.
The grand dinner at the New Subscription Rooms claims
our especial attention. The temporary apartment appro-
priated for this festive feast was hung with crimson cloth,
and tastefully adorned with laurel, hearts of oak, ivy,
and various alveolar and flowers; on the table was • pro-
fession of he/wilful rase, filled with exotics and green-house
plants, whilst from the ceiling were appeoded elegant
chandeliers and painted lamps, the tout ensemble producing
a must lively and cheering appearance. The festive brawls
were sumptuously spread with every delicacy the Sallee
could supply, in a style of variety, elegance, sod splen-
dour; sod four fat bucks, two turtles, and a baron of
beef crowned the banquet. The dessert was choice, rand
the wine of the highest quality and flavour, demonstra-
tive of the good taste of the Committee who we e ab-
pointed to select it. At five o'clock abont two hundred and
thirty sat down, comprising a large portion of the wealth
and respectability of the county. Every thing was well ar-
ranged and in good order; indeed not a just complaint
could be made. Sir Thomas Aciand was the chief President

duties atteorlaiit upon suet, a situation and so large an
assembly more honourably executed. There ass no toast,
tie sentiment, lint was prefaced with some elegant sent, nee,
or some shrewd sod judicious oboervation, producing the
most enthusiastic applause. E. P. Bastard, and It. W.
Newman, Emirs. and Members of Parliament, presided at
two of the tables ; aad the Vice Piesidents were Sir Job
Davie, Burt. High Sheriff for the counts, Sir Walter
Roberts, Bart. and John Hai rig, Esq. High Sheriff fur the
city. Each toast and sentiment was received with repeated
cheers, and a choice selection of glees and songs, generous
and social, exhilarated tlw hearts of all the company.—
Appropriate toasts, were thank.

About nine o'clock the large ball room was thrown open,
the fjoor of 'shied being chastely painted by an eminent
artist, and the large chandelier lighted with gas had a most
pleasing effect. About four hundred of the beauty and
fashion of the county were present, and the countenaures of
the brilliant fair bespoke the livliest pleasure : many of the
brave defenders of our country appeared in full uniform,
which aided the splendid gaiety of t.s act Ile. The merry
dance was kept up till nearly three o'clock.
