ACCIDENT BY THE FIR E-wonics.---Last night,
during the exhibition of the fire works in Hyde Park, a serious accident
occurred to a young woman named Sarah Becknell, residing in Castle
street, Oxford-street, who, together with some of her friends, were
coming out of a booth when a rocket.stick struck her on the left eye,
end completely destroyed it. The poor creature was removed, appa-
rently in great agony, to St. George's Hospital.
THE PA RKS•—Last night, between eleven and
twelve o'clock, as the police were going their rounds in Hyde Par k,
they discovered a gentlemanly man, apparently intoxicated, lying out.
side Algar's, or Crown and Anchor booth, when, on taking him up, it
was discovered that he was quite dead. It appears that he was seen an
hour before a lit-le intoxicated. He was a One looking young man.
about twenty years of age, with light hair, black eyes, about five fe,t
six inches In height, and wore a blue coat, grey merino trousers, light
waistcoat, and ‘Vel'ington hoots. On Iris person was fund a gold
watch, some silver, and an eye-glass. He was not owned up to three
o'clock this morning, when he was removed to St. George's Workhouse,
Hanover-square, to await a Coroner's inquest. •

Slune fishermen found an enormous tunny fish a
few days since grounded on the sands near Cape Ailly. t hey towed it
into Dieppe, and, on measuring it, found it to be tel fet long; it
weighed si.veral hundred pounds. These fishes, most commonly fount
in the Mediterranean, enter that sea in numerous shoals by the Straits
of Gibraltar, and thence follow either the coasts cf Europe, o: those of
fr:ca. They generally accompany ships to pick up the animal matter
thrown overboard, of which they are very fund ; and ttu great power
of s,imming enables them to follow to great distances the vessels to
v.hich they thus attach themselves. It is a rare circumstance to find
them in the British Channel. Further up along the same line of cost
a sturgeon, weighing 1001 b., and measuring eight feet in length, was re.
cvntly caught at Schwilenburgh, in Holland.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

Among the curious and important matters connected
with the high solemnity of the Coronation of her Majesty
it is, perhaps, not now inappropriate to observe that a con-
siderable part of the political friends of those civil servants
of her .M,jesty who more immediately surrounded her upon
this occasion are not understood to look upon this, or any
other ceremony connected with Royalty, as worthy of the
enlightened philosophy of the present age. Suppose it had
been possible to acquaint her Majesty that those same Mi-
nisters who assisted at the solemn and splendid ceremonial
of Thursday had but a few days before appointed as one of
her Majesty's Chief Judges in Ireland an accomplished
gentleman, who says that, if moderation and pu'ilic jus-
tice were powerful amongst us, the cumbrous and ex-
pensive establishment of a Royal Government would
be no longer necessary—would it not have appeared
to her Majesty's excellent understanding that there
was some ugly incongruity in the conduct of her ser-
vants ? Suppose it had occurred to her njesty that, of
the number of the Members of the House of Commons
who witnessed her Coronation, there was one who is esde-
citilly the support of her Ministers, and who is at the same
time the avowed and active enemy of the Established
Church, which she was s'ilemnly contracting to maintain
and defend—would it nut have seemed to her Mt.jeAy
something strange and inconsistent ? Suppose that,
her Majesty looked round upon the assembled Peers and
Peeresses of the realm, she had been told that they whom
she honours with her confidence in the direction of pu/Vie
affairs arc only guarded from political defeat by the alliance
of one who maintains that an hereditary legislator is
as great an absurdity as an hereditary tailor would he—
could her Majesty have helped being struck with
the impropriety of such an alliance? Suppose her
Majesty had borne in mind that she herself is the greatest
" hereditary legislator" upon the face of the earth, could
she have thought, with anything like those feelings of satis-
faction which her loyal subjects desire may ever accom-
pany her Majesty's cons it:lions of truth, that her Ministers
are powerless to govern the country, except by the aid of
one who publicly holds up hereditary legislation to scorn
and execration ? It may be answered that this very friend
of Minister:, to whom we allude, was as loud as aey one else
in cr3ing " God save Quern Victoria." Yes, but was he as
sincere? He may have wished personal health and happi-
ness, and long life to the fair emblem of might and Majesty
that he saw before hint ; but did he wish that the system to
which she bound berself,and in virtue of which she is Queen,
should endure under the blessing of the Almighty ? If he
did, then did not, his exclamation, taken (as it has a right
to be) in connection with other of Lis repeated public
avowals, amount to this—" God save a monstrous absur-
dity—an absurdity as monstrous as would be the preten-
sions of a son to the art of coat-making, on the ground that
his father was a tailor ?" These hideous anomalies can
never come to good. There cannot be stability or cohe-
rence in the course of a Government which, while it is in
form and substance monarchical, exists by the favour of
men alto certainly arc not f tvourable to the principles upon
a filch the British Monarchy is based. The adhL rents of the
Ministry may contend that whatever declarations of principle
