THE FIRE-WORKS IN HYDE PARK.

His Majesty having been graciously pleased to command
that a display of fire-works should be exhibited in Hyde
Park in the evening, preparations on an extensive scale
were immediately entered into. A large circumference of
ground, a short.remove in the rear of the statue of Achil,
les, was paled off, in which were deposited about a dam
artillery waggon-loads of tire-works. Long before night
had thrown her sable mantle on the Beene, many thousand
persons had assembled, and they gradttally kept infteaaing
until there could not have been fewer than between 18 and
20,000 present. The anxiously-wished• for exhibition did
not commence till past nine o'clock, when a discharge of
rockets announced —the commencement of the display.
This was succeeded by a grand discharge of bombs, calm=
rine wheels, blue lights, serpents, and other destriptionts
of fire-works, which continued the exhibition for nearly
two hours. The vast multitude appeared highly de-
lighted with the pyrotechnic display, which surpassed the
most sanguine expectations of many.
Several accidents occurred last night in Hyde Park,
during the time the fire-works were going off, in conse-
quence of the rocket-sticks, which were of an tinitsual
size, falling with great force upon the heads of the popu-.
lace. Six lads were conVeyed to St. Ceorge's Hospital
more or less injured--two of them; apparently about 15 or
16 years of age, are severely lacerated-one across the
temple, and the other near the left eye and across the
bridge of his nose.—Some grown persons also retteived
blows by the rocket-sticks, one of which perforated a
lady's bonnet, and knocked her down ; a comb being in
her hair prevented her sustaining further injury.

CORONATION REJOICINGS AT PORTS-

MOUTH, strfi► B►

The Coronation of their Majesties was kept this day
with every feeling of loyalty and patriotism. Preparations
have been making during the week to celebrate the even-
ing with a general illumination in the towns arotitul us.
The devices now lighting up are very splendid and nume-
rous, and there Is scarcely a house to be found not lighted
in some way or another. At one end of the Town-hall,
which is magnificently illuminated, is a represent Trion of
a three-deck line-of-battle ship, of immense dimensions,
and painted in fine style by Mr. J. Kniglit, of Southamp-
ton. The different barracks, and all the public offices,
are also illuminated, es well as the tower of our noble
church. Fire-works of a very varied and expensive de-
scription are now letting ta on Sonthsea Commiit, said
every thing is being conducted in the peaceable man-
mer. The day was ushered in with the ringing of merry
peals from on; church tower. Then Mllowed a salute
from the starting vessels of the Regatta (held this day).
and ac twelve o'clock the troops in garrison lined the
c
ramparts and fired a fen-de-joie, presented alms, Ltd gave
Wece enthusiastically
three loud cheers, in which tiwy
joined by thousands of fashionably-dressed persons, & .
who were assembled to witness the scene. Salutes were
also fired at Fort Cumberland, and the same ceremonies
observed at Gosport-beach. During a most tremendous
shower of rain a Royal salute of twenty-one guns was
fired from each ship (seventeen) at Spithead, all atrayed
with their national and loyal ensigns. The troops then
marched in slow time along the parade, playing lively airs,
and the bells firing forth their noisy peals, amidst the
many hundreds of persons of rank and dignity assembled.
Grand dinners are taking place at the Fouktain Inn, given
by the Corporation to one hundred inhabitants and all tl e
chiefs of dupastinents. A ball finishes the day.

THE REGATTA.
The Regatta was also held on this day, but owing to
the strung blowing weather only two matches nut of fOur
took place. The prize of twenty sovirrigns was wen by
the Hope, of Cowes, beating four others ; and a prize o!
twelve sovereigns wen by the wherry Nelson, of Ports-
mouth, heating live others ; the vessels were well matched.
Many scores of gentlemen (strangers to the place) bad the
pleasure of carrying home their ',rickets full of salt water,
which was liberally supplied gratis to our knowing ones.
A brig in harbour decked herself out in the only two
e.;lours she had, viz., an English red ensign and a quaran-
tine flag. It was supposed by her hoisting this that the
cholera bad broken out since her arrival, which caused
sotne alarm mud the mistake was rectified. The officers
in garrison all give grand mess-dinners this evening.
