THE HOMAGE.

The Exhortation being ended, her Majesty delivered the
sceptre with the cross to the Lord of the Manor of Worksop,
to hold the same on her right hand, and the sceptre with the
dove to the Duke of Richmond, to hold the same on her left
hand during the homage.
The Archbishop then knelt before the Queen, and, for him-
self and the other Lords Spiritual, pronounced the words of
Homage, they kneeling around him, and saying after him.
The Archbishop then kissed her Majesty's hand, and the rest
of the Lords Spiritual did the same, and retired.
Then the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge, ascending the
steps of the Throne, and taking off their coronets, knelt be-
fore the Queen ; and the Duke of Sussex pronounced the
words of homage, the Duke of Cambridge saying after him.
Their Royal Highnesses then severally touched the Crown
upon her Majesty's head, and kissed her Majesty's left cheek,
and then retired. The Dukes and other Peers thereupon
performed their homage, the senior of each degree pronounc-
ing the words of homage, and the rest of the same degree
saying after him, and each Peer of the sami degree, suc-
cessively, touching her Majesty's hand, and then retiring.
The Peers bearing the swords, when going to perfom their
homage, delivered them to noblemen near them to hold
during that ceremony. At the conclusion of the homage, the
Queen received the two sceptres from the Dukes of Norfolk
and Richmond.

During the performance of the homage the choir sang the
anthem, " This is the day which the Lord hath made," &c.
and the Treasurer of her Majesty's Household threw about
the medals of the Coronation.
THE HOLY SACRAMENT.

After the anthem, the Bishops of Carlisle and Rochester,
who had read the Epistle and Gospel, received from the altar,
by the hands or the Archbishop, the patina and the chalice,
which they carried into St. Edward's Chapel, and brought
from thence the bread upon the patina, and the wine in the
chalice. Her Majesty then delivered the sceptres to the
Dukes of N orfolk and Richmond, and descended from her
Throne, attended by her supporters, and assisted by the Lord
Great Chamberlain, the Sword of State being borne before
her, and went to the altar, and, taking off her Crown, deli-
vered it to the Lord Great Chamberlain to hold, and then
knelt down. Then the bishops delivered the patina and
chalice into the Queen's hands; and her Majesty delivered
them to the Archbishop, who, baying said the prayer,
" Bless, 0 Lord," &c„ reverently placed the same upon the
altar, covering them with a fair linen cloth. The Queen,
still kneeling, made her

CORONATION ' ANECDOTES.

[Abridged from a little work entitled " carpters 00

arraitatiaizg."]

IN the age of the Plantagenets and Tudors,
and under the Stuarts, until the coronation of
James 11., it was customary for the kings to
reside iu the Tower of London for some time
previous to the coronation. On the Saturday
before the coronation the sovereign went from
Westminster to the Tower. of London, at-
tended by great numbers of the nobility and
civic dignitaries, and by those squires that
were to be knighted, and who watched their
arms that night. Each squire had a chamber
allotted him, and a bath in which he bathed.
The ensuing day after mass the sovereign
created them knights, After their investiture
they were permitted to sit down in the king's
presence, but during the whole time of dinner
they were not allowed to partake of any part
of the entertainment. The queens in their
own right, Mary and Elizabeth, though they
girded the swords on the knights with their
own hands, did not give the accolade or blow,
which is the determinate action that impresses
the character of knighthood. At both coro-
nations, Henry earl of Arundel performed
this office. A copy of his appointment is to
be found in Rymer.

THE INTHRONIZATION.

Te Deum being ended, the Queen ascended the theatre,
and was lifted into her Throne, by the Archbishop, Bishops,
and Peers around her Majesty, and, being so inthroned, all the
great officers of State, the Noblemen bearing the swords, and
the Noblemen who had borne the other Regalia, stood around
about the steps of the Throne, when the Archbishop, standing
before the Queen, pronounced the exhortation, " Stand firm
and hold fast," &c.
London, England, 1838-06-28

JAMES 11.

James's coronation, April 23, 1685, was
celebrated with so much splendour, that it ren-
dered him for a considerable time popular in
London. The most remarkable anecdote con-
nected with the solemnity is, that, on the king's
return from the Abbey, the crown tottered
upon his head, and would have fallen off, had
not the Honourable Henry Sidney supported
it, saying, "This is not the first time our fa-
mily have supported the crown."

WILLIAM AND MARY.
For the first time in England both the king
and the queen were crowned as sovereigns.
The ceremonial was very stately and cold ; it
took place on the 1 ith of April, 1689, the
bishop of London officiating instead of the
archbishop of Canterbury (Sancroft), who
scrupled to place the crown upon the head of
sovereigns who claimed it by a parliamentary
title, and not by hereditary descent, and what
he called divine right.
London, England, 1838-06-28

Quzzx MARY.

Mary, the first female sovereign of this
realm, was crowned on the Ist of October,
1553, by Stvhen Gardiner, bishop of. Win-
chester, the archbishops of York and Canter-
bury being then prisoners in the Tower: On
the last day of September she went in state
from the Tower to Westminster in an open
chariot, drawn by six horses, covered with
cloth of tissue. In a second chariot came the
princess Elizabeth and the lady Anne of
Cleves ; the ladies in waiting rode upon
horses covered with trappings of crimson vel-
vet and satin. Three pageants were erected
in Fenchurch-street by the Genoese, Easter-
ling, and Florentine merchants.
Among the city pageants, the most remark-
able was that of St. Paul's cathedral, thus de-
scribed by Holinshed :--" There was one
Peter, a Dutchman, that stood on tie weather-
cock of Paulo's steeple, holding a streamer in
his hand of five yards long, and waiving there-
of, stood sometimes on the one foot and shooke
the other, and then kneeled on his knees, to
the great marvell of all people. He had
made two scaffolds under him, one about the
crosse, having torches and streamers set on it,
and another over the ball of the crosse, like-
wise set with streamers and torches, which
could not burn, the wind was so great. The
said Peter bad sixteen pounds, thirteene shil-
lings, four pense for his costes, and paines,
and all his stuffe."

The conduits ran with wine, and, when the
civic authorities received the queen at Cheape,
the chamberlain presented her with a purse of
tissue containing a thousand marks in gold.
London, England, 1838-06-28

THE FIRST OFFERIN G.

The Queen, atiende.i by the two Bishop s her supporters,
and the Dean of Westrninster, the Great 01 ficerr„ and the N 3.
blemen bearing the regalia and the tour sr fords going before
her 3,lajcsty, passed to the altar. Her Maje sty, kneeling upon
the cushion, made her first offering of a pa) 1 or ?tar cloth of
gold, which was delivered by an Officer of tl to V Tardrobe to the
Lord Chamberlain; by his Lordsitip to the lon 1 Great Cham-
berlain, and by hint to the Queer', who delis ered it to the
Archbishop of Canterbury, by whom it was placed on the altar.
The Treasurer of the Household then delivezted an ingot of
gold, of one pound weight, to the Lord Great Chamberkin,
who In.ving presented the samr to the Quern, her Majesty
delivered it to the Archbishop, an& was by han put into the
Oblation Basin.

leer Majesty continuing to line the pr lyer, " O God,
who dwellest in the high and holy pl'scle," &c., was said by the
Archbishop. At the conclusion of sly., prayer her Majesty rose
and went, attended as before, to at,: Chair of State on the
south side of the area.
The regalia, except the swords, ter ere then delivered, by the
several Noblemen who bore the saint • to the Archbishop, and
by his Grace to the Dean of Westin inster tc, be laid on the
Altar; the Great Officers of State (t pith the exception of the
Lord Great Chamberlain), and the It oblemext a-ho had borne.

pl;ice; appointed for them ; the Bishc p of Durham standing
on the right hand of her Majesty, with the N4lemen carrying
the swords on his right hand; the Bisi lop of Bath and Wells
on her Majesty's left hand, and, near him, the Lord Great
Chamberlain.

The Noblemen bearing the swords troxecpt the Sword of
Sta'e) continued to stand on the south ride of the area until
the Inthronization.

FIENRY

After the death of John, London being in
possession of the French prince Louis, an
assembly of the principal authorities was con-
vened at Winchester, under the presidency of
Gualo, the papal legate. They unanimously
resolved that the young king should be crown-
ed on .the 28th of October, A.D. 1216. The
ceremony was performed in the cathedral of
Winchester. The papal legate compelled
Henry to do homage to the holy Roman
church and Pope Innocent for his kingdom of
England and Ireland ;—he also made him
swear that he would pay an annual tribute of
raa4s,tik_the papal see. The

ceremony of cbroqatiol, was repeated Thy t.e-
pben Langton archbishop of Canterbury.
Early in the year 1236 Henry married the
lady Eleanor, daughter to the earl of Pro-
vence, whose beauty is celebrated by all the
chroniclers.

The ceremony of her coronation was per-
formed with extraordinary pomp on the 2nd
of January. Holinshed's account of it will no
doubt gratify our readers :

" At the solemnitie of this feast and corona-
tion of the quene, all the high peeres of the
realm both spirituall and temporall were pre-
sent, there to exercise their offices as to them
appertained: The citizens of London were
there in great arraie, bearing afore hir in so-
lemn wise three hundred and three score cups
of gold and silver, in token that they ought to
wait upon hir cup. Archbishop of Canter-
burie (according to his dutiej crowned hir, the
bishop of London assisting him as his deacon.
The citizens of London served out wine to
everie one in great plentie. The feast was
plentiful], so that nothing wanted that could
be wished. Moreover in Tothill-fields roiall
justes were holden by the space of eight daies
together."
London, England, 1838-06-21

The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour.

Mr. HOPE, the new Member for Linlithgow,was introduced
by Captain Alsager and Sir George Clerk, and took the
oaths and his seat.

A Messenger from the Bank of England appeared at the
bar with returns, which were laid on the table.
NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSURANCE
SOCIETY.
Mr. HALL brought up the Report of the Committee on
the National Loan Society Bill. He thought it right to state
that the House bad given permission to extend the time for
bringing up the Report, as the Right lion. the President of
the Board of Trade had given notice of his intention to bring
in a Bill to-morrow which would obviate the necessity of pro-
ceeding further with it. He would now move that the Report
be engrossed, and would fix as remote a period as possible for
the third reading, so as to enable the Right Hon. Gentleman
to bring his Bill under the consideration of the House.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented two petitions from a
Benefit Society of Hoxton and the Apothecaries of that place,
complaining of certain provisions of the Middlesex County
Courts Bill, and praying to be heard by Counsel against it.

THE ARMY.

It is the intention of her Majesty very shortly to review
the Royal Artillery at Woolwich, and preparations are already
making to receive the Sovereign in a suitable manner.
Lieutenant-General Lord Bloomfield has declined the corn-
mand of the Artillery at Woolwich.
As we anticipated, Sir William Johnston has been ap-
pointed to the Colonelcy of the vacant regiment. Sir John
Keane is to be transferred from the 68th Light Infantry to
the 46th Regiment, vacant by the death of General Wynyard ;
and Sir W. Johnston gets the 68th, vice Keane.

It is with great pleasure we state that at Hounslow Barracks,
on Friday the 6th inst., a very handsome silver breakfast ser-
vice was presented by the officers of the 12th Lancers to
Captain Phillips, late of that Regiment, as a testimony of their
friendship and esteem towards that gallant and highly merito-
rious officer, who had served a very long period in that Regi-
ment. It may be stated as a remarkable fact that Captain
Phillips has the happiness of having no less than five sons at
this moment serving as officers in the army.

TO CAPITALISTS AND OTHERS.

MR. KIItKMAN respectfully announces to his
Friends and the Public, that he has made arrangements to
OPEN an OFFICE exclusively devoted to the MINING OPE-
RATIONS of this country, and proposes to act as a General Min-
ing and Mineral Agent, and to open a Mart for the purchase and
sale of mineral properties, and of shares in mining undertakings.
Having devoted many years to the consideration of the mining in-
terests of the county of Cornwall, and been in active correspond-
ence with some of the most experienced mining captains and mine-
ral viewers in the empire, he feels confident that he will be at all
times in a situation to furnish information, and afford protection to
the large or small capitalist, seeking for data upon which to invest
their capital, and facilities in the disposition, either by sale or
otherwise, of mineral properties of every description, eminently cal-
culated to benefit those who shall honour him with their instructions.

GAND A. OLDRIDGE'S BALM OF
• COLOMBIA, 1, Wellington-street, Strand, London.
To preserve the human hair has been for a long time the unsuccessful
pursuit of innumerable Chemists and Naturalists, and .Ithough there,
have been various compounds professing to accomplish this desirable end,
still nothing really capable of restoring and preserving one of the irlu-L_
beautiful of nature's gifts was discovered until 18 tl, when the result of
a series of experiments tried for a long previous period upon persons of all
ages and constitutions, fully established the infallible vii tues of this most
potent restorative.
The wonderful virtues of this inestimable compound in restoring the
hair to its pristine beauty, and the certainty with which its conservtdirie
agency operates in preserving it to the latest period, has received, as in'g
he expo' ted, the most flattering testimonials from the grateful thousands
who have experienced its effects.
OLDIIIDGE'S BALM causes Whiskers mid Eyebrows to grow, pre-
vents the hair from turning grey and falling off, and the first a
makes it curl beautifully, and frees it completely from scurf.

was attended as numerously by the respectable Protestant

of the cause, to resist the execrable aggression attempted
to be made on their properties by the Rev. Incumbent."

THE WEEK.

Very. little business done indeed in a;;Commodity, as our daily re-
port Will have shown. All kinds of Raw Sugar for consumption have
declined 6d. to Is. on last week's prices. Coffee of all kinds for con-
sumption has advanced 2s. Tea at public sale has gone lower
by d. to 3d. per lb. on the prices of last Sale. Cocoa has declined several
shillings per cwt. for B. P. Rum, Cotton, Spices, and Indigo
have secured but very little business, except the Government contract
for 75,000 gallons of Rum, which has been taken at 2s. 10,0., which
is considerably lower than last contract.

The imports have been to a fair extent. The exports and deliveries
light. The business advertised for next week, a holiday week, is very
small. Indeed such has been the dearth of business during the past
week, that the brokers did not print their usual Price Currents.

EY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We have received New York Papers this morning by the
Samson, to the 23rd March (one day later than in the Morn-
ing Journals), and New York Papers have been received at
the North and South American Coffee-house to the 25th of
March. We copy the following:—
" MoNEY MARKET.—This being packet day, the rate of
exchange has been fixed. We have rarely known so large an
amount of bills thrown into the market at once, as on the present
occasion. From Canada Government Bills have appeared,
and from the South an unusual number. Bills on London,
endorsed by the New Orleans Banks have sold at 105 f, ;and
British Government 106 i, which is full 1 to 2 per cent.
lower than by the last packet. On France Bills sold at sfs. 40
aunts."

The excitement in relation to the Phoenix Bank is in no
degree abated, but waxes warmer and warmer. We have
observed with regret that several persons have expressed a
desire to call a public meeting, to express their indignation at
the proceedings of Mr. Delafield.
" NEW ORLEANS BINKS.—Loud and bitter complaints are
heard of the inactivity of our market, which is attributed to
the want of proper action by the Legislature on the Bank
question. Exchange 106 ; United Bank Shares 115 ; Trea-
sury Notes, 5 per cent., 100 k.
" Sutherland is in prison at Toronto, and a report was
afloat that he attempted to cut his throat."
These. papers do not contain further news from Canada.
They only state that the disturbances on our Canadian frontier
are happily terminated.
By the arrival of the Ann we have received Hobart Town
papers to the 7th of October. tlarket prices :—Wheat, Bs.
to Bs. 6d. ; Barley, 7s. 6d. to Ba. 6d. ; Oats, 7s. to Bs. per
bushel ; Hay, 8/. 10s. to 91. ; Straw, 41. 15s. ; Potatoes,
14/. los. ; Sydney Coals, 455. As regards Wool, we may
remark, that the value exported of that staple commodity last
season amounted to 140,000; and as to Oil, up to the present
period, the fishery has been most favourable, although the sea-
son is not as yet terminated.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The letter of " P. H.," dated April 2, did not come to hand till
yesterday. Sir R. Peel, it is well known, did make a speech
at the Glasgow dinner, given in honor of himself, and that
speech appeared in The Sun twenty-four hours earlier
than in any other daily paper. If "P. H." has any bet
at issue, we can tell him that that speech came by the
quickest express that ever left Scotland.

The Duke of MG' HMOND said that it r.ppeared in Ireland
persons were anxious for the office of High Sheriff, but the
contrary was the fact in England, there they had the strongest
objection in general to the appointment. There was great
abuse connected with the subject in England also, mad he
thou4ht it demanded inquiry as well as in Ireland.
After a few words front the MarqUis of LONDONDERRY,
the motion as amended was unanimously agreed ta.
Lord LYNDHUR.ST had received a letter from Dublin to
the effect that Mr. Gray, who had been alluded to in the course
of the debat•., had recovered 2501 damages against a newspa-

that paper had published in reference to those proceedings in•
which he had been engaged.
Their Lordships then adjourned, at Ten Minutes to One
