iontion :
SUNDAY, JULY IV .

The gorgeous ceremony of the Coronation was
performed on Thursday, pursuant to proclamation.—
Our opinion that it was unnecessary and indiscreet,
under all the existing circumstances, has already been
given—that our opinion coincided with the general
fieling of all classes was evinced by a degree of in-
difference unequalled on any other public occasion,
and an extent of apathy that might well have parti-
cularized a College of Stoics. We sought in vain
for that feeling of proud participation to which we
have been accustomed on any occasion of general
sejoicing—nowhere was the extncy shewn which
ought always to attend such an eccurrence—in no

instance could be seen the entl►usiasm that betokens

heartfelt reciprocation ; but during the day, in the
scene of expensive tumult only, was the appearance
of joy, and at night the illumination, so Cr from
being general, was nearly confined to the houses of
Ambassadors, Ministers, recently-made Peers, and
those whose trades are followed by the imposing
addition of" To His Majesty." An old gentleman,
who was in London at the last Coronation, assures
us that the feeling at that time was perfectly dif-
ferent,but it may be remembered that then no petty,
personal, inveterate hatreds were indulged - George
the Third was crowned with his Queen, and the
dullness of Thursday's exhibition loudly proclaims
how muds the people deplored the absence of their
present much injured Queen.

11.1.-OMENS.—WIien our late revered Monarch
was crowned, one of the most valuable
,jewels drop-
ped from the crown—those who predict after an
occurrence has taken place declared that this was an
omen of the loss of America.—On Thursday night,
shortly after the lamps were lighted in front of So-
merset-house, the wooden form of a crown (rather
an improper substance, by the bye, to form it of;)
took lire, and burnt for more than half an hour, to
the great danger of that beautiful building ; the ar-
rival of the engines, however, removet: the anxiety
of the neighbourhood.—An order was given to illu-
minate all the public offices for three successive
nights—this order has been countermanded, but
whether from a want of unison on the part of the
public, or from the above accident, which would be
regarded as an ill-omen by a club of old women (and
that such u thing should influence the present admi-
nistration we wonder not) we comet tell.
Letters limn Madrid of the sth instant state,
that Terrinos, the King's Treasurer was placed
under arrest the preceding day On searching his
papers, some documents were found which proved
him to have been in connexion with Merino, with
Abuelo, and with Zaldivar.
CORONATION PROMOTIONS —A Gazette was pub-
lished on Friday, in which appears the following
Promotions in both Army and Navv :
ARMY.—The Colonels down to Colonel Nichols (1814). to
be Major Generals—Lieutenant Colonels down to Patrickson
(1811), to be Colonels—Majors down to Aldred (18 121, to be
Lieutenant Colonels—and Captains down to Annesly (1807), to
be Majors. The Brevet takes in Lieutenant General Hugonin,
Major General Hawker, Colonel Jasper Nichols, Lieut. Colonel
Christopher, C. Patrickson, Major Cary, Royal Artillery, and
the Captains of taw.
NAVY.—The Earl of St. Vincent to be Admiral of the Fleet,
a rank equal to a Field Marshal in the Army ; Post Captains,
down to Walker (1797) inclusive, to be Rear Admirals; 10
Commanders; the junior of whom is January, iblY, to be Post
Captains; 20 Lieutenants, the junior of whom i. 1506, to be
Commanders; t.,0 Midshipmen, all of whose seniority is prior to
1814, to be Lieutenants. . . _

The strictest aurntion has been had to the seniority of Close
officers who have served since the peace.
CoNsi iTUTIONAL ASSOCIATION.—The London
Grand Jury on Friday found a true bill against Sir
John Sewell, Charles Murray, J. B. Sharp, and
one Longueville Clarke, for a conspiracy, in forming
an unlawful Society, and fbr committing several al-
'coed acts of oppression and extortion. Murray and
Sharp are of course well known as active officer; of
this mischievous and officious Society. Clarke is,
we believe, a clerk in their employ, and all have
been douhtless selected fin. the purpose of trying the
question with the ostensible, though perhaps in
themselves insignificant, agents of the committee.
A first rate line-of-battle ship, built upon a boau-
tiful model, is nearly ready to be launched at Chat-
ham. The name originally intended was the Prince
Regent., but we understand it is to be changed to
George the Fourth. The head and quarter galleries
are a fine specimen of marine urchiti.cture. She is
to carry 110 guns.
A large shark was caught in the river at Mahlon,
on Wednesday evening, the 4th inst., which mea
sured eight feet in length, four feet ten inches
broad, and its tail was two feet four inches. It was
exhibited by the fishermen in Chelmsford market
on Friday, the Gth inst.

At a general meeting of the York Whig-club,
held in that City on Monthly last, it was resolved
that the expellee. of the coronation is a ticiAiless
waste of the public money ; and that :thin:ll4h it has
been stated by the Privy Council that her Majesty
cannot claim to be crowned as a right, the meeting
are decidedly of opinion that she ought to be crowned.
Thanks were at the same time voted to Mr. Hume,
Mr. Wyvill, and Mr. Chaloner.

SAILING NI ATCH .—On Friday several pleasure-
boats started from Blackfriars-bridge, to sail to
IVandsworth, for a wager. After a fine contest, the
Ludlow was the winning bout.
On the 13th instant the Guild of 13,1rwick-upon-
Tweed voted the freedom of that ancient city to
Joq,ph Hume, Esq. M.P. fur Aberdeen, as a mark
of their approbation of his exertions, during the last
session of parliament, to promote economy and re-
trenchment in the expenditure of the st.ltc.
