THE GOLDEN « SUN,"

Our Journal of Thursday has attracted, we see, the uni-
versal attention of the Paris Journals. The Journal des
Debats borrows numerous details of the CoronatiOn from
our columns, and notices that they were printed in letters
of gold. It also informs its readers, that we published a
Portrait of the Quern surmounted by the Crown, land follow.
ed by a fac-simile of her Majesty': „ signature. It also quotes
at full length the short memoir of her Majesty, With which
we accompanied the portrait. the Constitutionnel does
the same. The Commerce rcgrs that the celebrated
number of The Sun, published in gold, did not
reach it that day, and that no sight of it could
be got. We shall take care that our Contemporary
shall receive one of our best copies. The National is
quite indignart at the homage the people paid to the
Queen, whh.li, it says resembles the idiot veneration
of the people of Iliedostan, when they dispute with
each other the honour of being crushed by the wheels
of the car of Juggernaut. After a severe philippic against
all the ceremonies, and a condemnation of the Press for
not censuring them, the National adds, that one of
the London Journals, in order to leave to posterity a
more striking homage of its loyalty, has been printed in
letters of gold ; and it informs its readers, that of this
new golden book 250,000 copies were ordered. The whole
nation, and particularly Mr. O'Connell for appearing
in a Court-dress, while the rags tt of n by his coun-
trymen would, it is said, better become him, as well
as The Sun, excite the special wrath of the boiling republi-
. cans. The National, however, knows as little of the En-
glish people as of us, or it would lie sensible that
there was nothing approaching idolatry in the hc-
mage which the nation paid to a young and interesting
female, and a splendid ceremony which they know derived
all its moral grandeur from themselves. We return our
thanks to our Parisian Contemporaries for their notice
which we arc emulous of, for our sentiments as well as the
decorations with which skilful artists have enveloped them.

THE DIUSIC,AL FESTIVAL, WEST-

MINSTER ABBEY.

The Abbey, yesterday, presented another magnificent spec-
tacle, surpassed certainly in grandeur by the imposing cere-
mony cf Thursday last : but now that the august ceremony of
toe Coronation has passed, it might be questioned whether
that sArnnity, regal as it was, gave to our young and gra-
cious Queen more heartf,lt satisfaction than that which the
s cred cause of charity offered within the walls of the Abbey
yesterday. The crowd was vast, and we believe about 7,0001.
way r,discd: the greater part of this sum is to be devoted to
the We:trninster Ilotpital. which was the li-st in this king-
dom es!ablished and supported by voluntar:7 contributions.
It ham existed 110 years, during which loo; period it has
afforded relief to more than 250,000 patients; and from its
example we are told, most of the other hospitals of
a like nature have taken their rig e. To the honour
of :,:afli.rne G. isi, she gave her services (werli 1501. )
gratuitouly ; hurbtni, Lai,!achc, and lamburini, though they
gave not gratuitous services, were so moderate in their de-
mands, that they are scarcely worth mentioning. The per-
formances were of course the same as those noticed in our
columns yesterday, with this gratifying addition, that they
were given with redoubled ardour and effect. The tickets of
admission wee two guineas each, yet this comparatively high
price did not prevent a complete overflow. Amongst
the company his loyal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge, and ninny distinguished personages'characterised by
their well known musical taste, were present. The pro-
gramme was scrupulously followed ; it embraced, it will be
remembered, selections from " The Creation," " Israel in
Egypt," The Mount. of Olives," and other oratorios and
compositions by Hadyn. II:ndel, Beethoven, Mozart, Pergo-
Cimarosa, &c. The whole was given in a masterly
style, as was testified by the frequently expressed, though
subdued applause, which followed the execution of each corn-
psition.

(ADVERTISEMENT.)
TO the READERS of the " NORTHERN
STAR," AND TO THE WORKING MEN 0? THE
NORTH OF ENGLAND.

London, July 3, 1838.
FELLOW-COUNTRTMEN,—At the " Festival" here, to cele-
brate the arrival of " the Dorchester Labourers," I felt it my
duty to speak of The Sun Evening Newspaper, as it seemed
to me to deserve. The week following, my conduct was
severely censured in a leading article in the Northern Star.
I at once replied, and, week after week, have been most
anxiously looking for, and expecting the insertion of my letter.
Last Saturday—that is, ten weeks after being sent—the letter
appeared. Ife:e it is, and I respectfully request your atten-
tion to this my defence, of hating ventured to say a word its
favour of (as a vehicle of communication) the only Daily
Paper, now publishing, that will insert any communication
.whatever, either explanatory or justificatory, of working men,
without payment.
The delay that has occurred at the Northern Star Office is
my only reason for resorting to this method of addressing
you. I am, Fellow Countrymen,
Your obliged obedient servant,
JOHN CLEAVE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR.
1, Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, London.
April 24,1838.
Dear Sir—l find by the Northern Star of Saturday last, that
you have been pleased to " censure the encomium of Mr. Cleave
upon the Whig Sun newspaper." This in commenting on the
Dorchester procession of the previous Monday. Surely,
Sir, when you undertook to thus question my conduct,
you ought to have allowed your readers to judge of what that
conduct had really been. Where is the eneomium ? Or
how is it that in holding me up to the myriads of the North,
as having done that which I ought not to do, you did not
allow a little space to at least some of the words I uttered on
on that occasion ; however, let that pass.
When the Truc Sun was incorporated with The Sun, the
" Working Men's Association" appointed three persons to wait
on the Proprietor of The Sun, to ascertain if he would con-
tinue to afford the same facilities for publishing addresses or
communications from organized bodies of the Working Men,
as had been afforded by the True Sun. I was one of
that deputation ; we were perfectly satisfied with our
reception, and highly gratified with the assurance we received
that so long as we needed the columns of a daily paper, The
Sun should be open to us ; and that faith has been kept—let
the paper testify. Why, Sir, the delegates from Glasgow, on
behalf of the " cotton-spinners," can testify to the readiness
with which Mr. Young attended to every suggestion made in
respect to the report of the great meeting held in the " Mecha-
nics' Institute" here, on behalf of the " Scotch patriots." In-
deed, on every occasion when publicity has been needed, there
has sot been the least shrinking from the promise made. Then,
Sir, came the Dorchester procession, during the week pre-
vious to which the whole of the daily press were belching
forth their condemnation of all the parties who were labour-
ing to give effect to the entrance of their persecuted II iends
into the metropolis. I mistake, there was an exec-Alen,
that was The Sun: it published entire the programs se;
and more, its Editor cheered on the Dorchester Com-
mittee, and asserted the propriety of the course marked,
with the certainty of every man who joined in the
ranks conducting himself as became the occasion. This
was no " small favour"—nor are others which might
be pointed out " small favours." I might, for instance,
have named The Address of the Trades Combination
Committee, which The Sun published as soon as sent,
but which has not, I fear, appeared yet in any provincial
paper, not even in the Northern Star. Now. Sir, those who
heard the "encomium" that has given you offence, heard me
state, that my praise was given for the justice done as an organ
of communication, and not as the " Whig Sun." This was
made distinct enough, and, as such, I feel myself fully justi-
fied in every word that I uttered.— Yours truly,

JOHN CLEAVE.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—This theatre opened
last night for the season, commencing with a new comic musical en—
tertainment called Gemini, in which Mr. Compton enacted the twin
brothers Andre and Edmond, and in his double capacity mskes loves to
Adeline, personated by Miss L. Melville (her first appearance), and
Sophia, played by Miss Poole, who introduced two pleasing songs,
" I'rovence bath its roses," and " When the lute in sweetness wakes,"
the lattei of which uas encored. Compton excited considerable laughter
by the outre situations he is thrown into, and the quaint humour with
which he supported the two characters, but the piece, we fear, does not
promise to have a long run. Blanche of Jersey, the favourite of last
season followed, and was very favourably received. The new farce of
Lying in Ordinary, with which the evening's entertainments concluded,
is one of the least successful of Mr. Peake's productions. Considering
the wetness of the evening, and that it was a first night, the house was
eery well i,ttendcd.

The Leiceeershire Mercury, than which few pro-
vincial papers, perhaps, are conducted with more of public spirit, as well
as editorial ability, has long and consistently brought the weight of its
reprobation to bear on the Loughborough Bench. Our Contemporary
affirms that extreme irregularity characterizes the proceedings in tho
Justice.room, and that cases of injustice and oppression there are nume-
rous. We give one case only, but the reader ex uno °nines distil. It
will not fail to be remarked that this case forms no exception to the rule
now pretty well established by experience, viz., that whenever magiste-
rial misconduct, by its flagrancy, calls forth public indignation in an
especial degree, we see a parson figuring in the proceedings reprehended.
A young girl was most unjustly taken before the magistrates for leaving 10
her service, and as unjustly ordered to retura or to be sent to prison ; but
owing to the culpab,e confusion that constantly exists, neither the girl
nor the constable knew of the decision, and, after waiting some time,
supposing no charge was preferred, they returned to their respective
dwelings. The following week the con able was fined 91. for neglect of •
duty I and the girl committed to priscanT from whence she was not re.
leased till some other magistrates harrepresented her ca.e to Lord John
Russell, who immediately ordered her to be set at liberty —and if he had
prevented the Reverend Justice frora again committing a similar act, by
hurling him from the Bench, he would only have done his duty.
