THE CORONATION AT MILAN.

MILAN, ASIGUST 31.
The Eirperor stir remains at Mo: zo, what fists, fetea,
and rej seem; to ba the only occupations of the' Sovea
reign and tie people. P►oces&on follows after procession,
and one ilium nation only fades away for another to shed its
gloties on the acct o ; whikt songs arc sung, and it)mns re.
cited, until at last the ear becomes wearied with the tones bt
pleasure, and the eye bewildered and dazzled by, fanciful and
gar4eous exhibitions. One fact, however, cannot be omitted
in co►incction with the fetes and rejoicings, that they are ii,tee.
n►ixed with a great deal of charity and benevolence on the part
both of the Empercr and the Empress. Charitable institutiona
arc honoured with the royal notice, and their funds increased
by royal contributions ; while amongst the humbler classes the
poor arc sought out, and those proved to be destitute and de.
serving leseued from the worst evils of poveity. I may add,
that i stances of great wretchedness are exec o lingly rare in
this country.
At his moment all is active preparation lice for the coming
co emonies, and the approaching amusements. Already " the
time honoured" front of the cathedral has been changed,
and many of its c xquisite statues shaded from the public
view by a temporary portico, which, instead of being
made to appear, like the alterations for the Coronation in
stmins•cr Abbey, a portion of the building has, with much
more loyalty than good taste, been painted at the prevailing
calours—yellow and blue. I have been greatly astonished by
the sea ‘nar in which gold, silver, silk, and the richest stuffs
are b re employed. The most cheap and common materials
could not ho apparently mere utterly disregarded than the
rii hest articles are h ra. For instance, in the open street, and,
at the front of the cathedral, where the per ice is divided into
gigantic Gothic arches, there arc seen pendant from each of
them at this moment enormous double hangings of crimson
and light blue silk, with thick and heavy fringes of the richest,
gold lace.

- Another instance of the manner in which gold is scattered
to make the Coronaticn rwoptuous is the mode in which tie
state ca-riagrs Lye been prepared for the' creation. There
ere alt-gothrr eight of these—the Empt r.rss, the Vicerwg,
and six carriages for the Officers of State am? the Household,
The ca-riagts of the Officers of 9 ate are, I was inforeacti, up-
wards of 300. year; 013,arld ve.e us.d at the CorunsCoa of
the Emperor Che les the Fifth. The upper part of them is all
plate gam, the lower all burnished gold, intermiZed with
sprigs and leaves of green, while the roof, the back, and the
wheeli are gold, having the ntruntings all composed of solid
silver, plated with gold. The hamm-reloths sac of the richest
dark crimson Genoa velvet, cowed arid fringed with ma-sy
gold lace. Each of these haatmemloths cost, it is said, nearly
a thousaad rounds / In appearance and fashion the carriages
arc very like those clumsy vehicles which I remember to base
seen in some of Hogarth's pictures. The carriage of the
Viceroy is different in appearance, for it is one of those very
old and very high carriages which look as if a ladder &lonia
be employed to ascend them. Its upper part is of plate-glass,
in
a:ld the lower all of dell I gold, while on the panels are placed
solid silver, plated with burnished gold, the arms of she
V;eceoy. The imperial carriage I Etna it impossible tt-;
scrib:, except that it is gold jt all its parts, and tonped with
the imperial crown while ornaments are pl-.tea on every
part of it, and every ornament is, as I was told, of solid
gold. The harness and trappinis for the horses are likewise
of gold, and equally costly—e.t is gold, gold, nothing but
gold, wherever any deeeratton could be introduced, and so
many are these eeeorations, and so heavy is the harnesw
with them, that the animals which are to bear them will
upvar to be moving masses of gold, and are not at all un-
l'ltsly to be greatly oppressed with their mere weight alone.
From this brief description some idea may be formed of the
extraordinary display of magnificence which we arc to witness
in the proeoision of to-morrow.
What may be regarded as the first coronation
,fete in Milan
took place yesterday. h was a dinner given by the Noble
Guard of Lombardy and Venice to the officers of the Hunga-
rians who have been ordered here to attend the Coroner°, The dittoci, was crictly military in is ~naracter, and no civi-

was displayed on the cCea'lon, and great devotion to tte por-
ii'rederick Lamb, the Russian Ambassado-, Lord Burg-
hers'', Lord Hrrtfurd, ard several of cur English gentry,
have arrived within the last twonty-four hours. Sir F. Lamb,
I have heard, pays a rent of 2501. a-week for his hotel daring
his stay in Miler. —Morning Chronicle.

The Duke of Wellington, it is confidently stated,
intends being present at the approaching Gloucester music
meeting.—Hereford v'ourrial.

MOT II Elt CHURCH.—We are acenstoined to C 011•
si 'er Algiers but another name for besotted ignorance and un-
reeeeened tyranny, yet while in England the State imposes
most burdensome taxes for the support of Its Chtneh, in Ttir-
key religion retrains the imposition of political taxes.
TUE TEWIN MURDER..—Our readers will recol.
lect that Thomas Ta)lor, one of the persons chargcd with the
cruel murder of the ponsianer Bennett,—and if the
coafessions of the two unhappy accomplices who suffered the
ex.'', me penalty of the law in this town, in March last, is
to be relied en, the one who actually committed the horrid
deed—has hitherto evaded the hands of justice. We have
this we, k the s ei-fee:inn of stating that the man is now in
safe custody iq Ilertiord gaol. The eireunistanees under
which his diaeovery and apprehension have bent effected are,
we believe, as follow :—The murder of the poor old M 43
to..k place on the 25th of last October, and Taylor irn-
receivingmediately escaped after receiving a sovereign of the money
stolen. From that time to nialin the last fortnight he has
not been heard of; when a soldier's letter, directed to
Ws. Taylor, Back-street, Hertford, was received on this
24th of August; and, as all soldiers' letters arc obliged to
hwe the nawe of the soldier thereon, the name of NVilliam
Ames," was alitten on the direction. Information of the re-
ceipt of this loiter coming to the cars of Mr. Duncan, tiro
supe.intendent of the Hertford police, ha reported bts
platens to the Major of Hertford; and under his direction
wrote to the Sergeant-Major of the 15th Itigimeat. now, sta-
tioned at St, George's Barracks, Devonport, to kbow if there
was any suelt man as William Ames there ; and if his ina.
soription corresponded to the description sent down, to platy
him in confinement till the arrival of an officer. An answer
was received, stating that a soldier wider that name was
in the regiment, and that his person corresponded to the
man sought fair. On the receipt of this letter Mr. Dun--
ean was directed by the Mayor to proe..ed without delay to
Devouport and bing the man back with him, should he
prove to be the person. On Monday last Mr. Duncan pro-
ceeded by the Exeter coach, and on the following day was in-
troduced to the prisoner, then under confinement in the bar_
rants, and immediately identified him as Thomas Taylor, the
man charged with the murder of the pensioner Bennett. He
then took him into custody, and on Thursday last by the six
o'cloek coach he was brought into Hertford, and taken to the
station.heaae. Too much credit cannot be given to Duncan
for the activity evinced by him on this occasion. On bearing
the statement of Duncan, the Mayor remanded the prisoner for
another hearing and committed him to the gaol, and it is pro-
bable that he will be brought up for hearing before the County
Magistrates in Petty Session this d my. It appears that he en-
listed into the Isth Foot on the 30th of last October—five days
only after the murder—and went to Ireland as a recruit,
whence he has bees only returned seven weeks. During his
journey, and on his entrance into the town, he assumed a levity
of appearance and manner highly inconsistent with the awful
situation in which he is placed ; and so much so as to occasion
rebuke from those in whose. care he was, and to the disgust of
all who witnessed it. Taylor protests his entire innocence of
the charge.—Hergford Reformer. •
The; town of Croydon was thrown into great eon-
fthion on Friday afternoon by the following occurrence :—A
phaeton and pair was striven into the town nt a rapid rate,
coming, in a direction from Brighton, by a groom, and fol
loved by " The Age" Brighton coach, driven by Sir Vincent
Cotton. When the vehicles gut near the Green Dragon
public-house, in the lligh-street, the phaeton was prevented
from proceeding further, and Sir Vincent Cotton, who ap-
peared much excited, gave the reins into the hands of a
gentleman ow tho box, got off his coach, and sprung into the
phaeton, and seized the groom who was driving it by the neck-
orchief, and commenced beating him violently about the bead
and face. He continued doing this for some time, and until
the groom called " Murder I" and begged fcr mercy. A
crowd soon collected, and some of the inhabitants interfered
to prevent further mischief; and, in the scuffle that en-
sued, Sir Vincent received several blows from the by_
slanders. At length the groom was rescued frees
him, and finding the feeling of the persons rssembled to
be very much against him, on account of the apparently un-
provolted attack he had made upon the groom, who Was, mosret;
