THE NATIONAL REGISTER

The preparations are now carrying forward in
Westminster-hall with great activity. All the smaller
galleries, butleries, pantries, and other erections, are
completing; and the fronts of the side galleries are
covering with canvas, which is afterwards to be
painted with gothic ornaments. The roof of the hall
is also in a state of forwardness. The old lantern,
which was in the centre of the roof, and which was
coeval with the building, was taken down a few days
since—it was iu a di-plumbic state of decay A new
lantern is immediately to be erected. Even with
the galleries in the hall, platforms are erected out-
side, into which doors open from the hall so as to
atfhrd the necessary facilities of ingress and egress
fur the female spectators. 'There will be side en-
trances to those platforms in Palace-yard, and else-
where. The arrangements its Westminster Abbey
are complete, with the exception of the ornamental
parts, which may be completed in a few weeks. The
Abbey is open fur public inspection. Those noble-
men and official attendants who had not ordered
their robes, have given their directions, and the
robe makers are actively at work. The purveyors of
wine and the more solid parts of the feast are also
making the requisite preparations. The Archbishop
of Canterbury is appointed to preach the Coronation
Sermon.

In the house of Commons, u soon u the Army
Estimates are disposed of, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer will name a day when he will bring
forward the Budget, which will conclude the re-
maining important business of the session.

Yesterday for the first time, her Majesty dined
at her house in town, and returned in the evening
to Braudenburgh-house.

The Queen accompanied by her female attend-
ants, unexpectedly honoured Covent-garden theatre
with her presence. Her Majesty arrived at a
quarter past seven, after the play began, and took
her seat in one of the boxes near the royal box.—
As soon as recognised by the audience, she was
hailed with acclamations and vociferation' of God
save the Queen. Soon after the vocal performers
mine upon the stage, and sung the air of " God
save the King," amidst loud applause. It having
been known outside the theatre that her Majesty
was in the house, a crowd of persons remained at
the door, and as the Queen entered her carriage she
was hailed with loud sad fervent tokens of respect.
Her Majesty's next appearance in public, it is said,
will be at the Operadhouse.
The public funds have been kept steady, by the
announcement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
that it was his intention to appropriate the un-
claimed dividends at the Bank to the use of govern-
ment. It is understood that the whole of them,
except 100,0001. will be 'voted to that purpose,
subject however to claims that may be hereafter
established. A list of dividends unclaimed should
have all possible publicity, as many persona have
just claims who are totally ignorant of the matter.
These dividends, however, will only be of temporary
relief in bolsterin.,,, up the docks, it there should be
a serious falling off in the year's revenue, which it
is feared will be the case. Consols for the account
closed on Saturday at 74i buyers, and for the open-
ing of the books in July at 751, which at the pre-
sent state of the money market, is considered a high
rate of continuation. The settlement of the pre-
sent account will be on Thursday next.

On Sunday morning last a most disgraceful scene
presented itself on the banks of the Canal, Maiden-
lane, Battle-bridge. Two large hampers were found,
containing the mangled limbs of dead bodies, a child
about five years old, arms, legs, skulls, &c. A cart
was seen, with three pawns in it, near the bridge,
between the 'hours of ten and eleven o'clock on
Saturday evening, by a man returning home—
Drags were used nearly the whole of the evening.
