WEYMOUTH-MONDAY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—The Committee (nearly all Tories) for carrying into
effect the arrangements for celebrating her Majesty's Corona-
tion-day at this place, among other things determined that a
Public Dinner should take place at the Royal Ilotel ;
Tickets, 7s. 6d. each. The Mayor, a rank Tory, in the
Chair; and another worthy Tory as his Vice-Chairman. On
meeting to decide upon the toasts to be given on the occasion,
" The Members of the Borough" was one proposed ; but on
one of the gentleman (a Liberal) suggesting the propriety of
the toast, " Her Majesty's Ministers," having precedence of
the Members, the cloven foot was instantly shown by these
mock loyal subjects, declaring that no such toast should he
allowed to be drunk, and one canting, crying gentleman present
thought proper to offer up this sublime prayer, " That he
sincerely hoped the Ministers would soon see the error of their
ways ;" and I dare say, if allowed time, would have added,
" and resign," in order that sonic of his friends may come in
again for the loaves and fishes. But these would-be-loyal,
fearing that it may prove an injury to a full attendance at
dinner, and make them cut but a sorry figure, agreed to forego
drinking the health of their worthy Members, AS A SET OFF.
The Chairman stated with great modesty that nothing should
induce him to drink the toast, " Her Majesty's Ministers."
In consequence of these proceedings, the really loyal sub
feels of her Majesty in this town intend dining at the Crown
Inn on that day, where they will drink.the health of " Eng-
land's Queen" in full bumpers, and also to the real friends
and preservers of their country, " The Ministers," and may
they long remain in office to carry out those measures of Re-
form tending to benefit the country.
A CONSTANT READER.

P. S. Since writing the above, the Committee, finding their de-
cision met with the most decided disapprobation of the respect-
able and loyal portion of the inhabitants, held a meeting, and
decided, by a majority 'of ONE, that the toast, " Her Ma-
jesty's Ministers," should be drank, fearing but an indifferent
attendance.

John Williams, Esq., has kindly consented to take the
Chair at the Crown Inn, and made them a present of a very
fine turtle.

THE CORONATION.

It having been reported that some tickets for admission
to the Abbey have been forged, the Earl Marshal has
issued orders that a strict examination shall take place by
the officers of the Earl Marshal and the police on duty, of
every ticket presented at each door, and proceedings will be
aJopted to punish all parties concerned.
We arc authorised to caution parties proceeding in car-
riages to set down company on the line of the royal pro-
cession, that it may be necessary to close the barriers on this
route at eight o'clock in the morning of the 28th, instead of
nine. Persons wishing to pass in carriages to set down at
any part of the line of the procession, are therefore recom-
mended to be early.
The public are cautioned not to carry valuable property
about their persons in the streets on the day of the coronation.
Yesterday the metropolis presented a most extraordinary
appearance. The great thoroughfares were literally so
crammed with pedestrians, the great majority of whom
appeared to be strangers anxious to see the progress of the
preparations fur celebrating the day of the coronation, that
it was almost impossible to pass along them, and omnibuses
and other public vehicles were in many places compelled to
proceed for a considerable distance at a foot pace. Business
appeared completely at a stand-still. All the hotels in the
City and the west-end of the town are crowded, end the
arrival of every fresh coach from the country contributes to
swell the number of strangers already assembled in the me-
tropolis. Notwithstanding that the weather yesterday was
rather unfavourable, the fair in Hyde. park was visited by
thousands of persons. All the great establishments in Lon-
don have intimated their intention to give their men a holiday
on the day of the coronation. The regalia have been removed
from Messrs. Rundell and Brydge's, and placed in the custody
of the proper officer.
