CORONATIONS PitOCESSION.—At the coronation
of the Kings and Queens of England for more than four cen-
ahabty o
af
3
cen-
turies, and as far back
the ceremonyekastlieac wascoun always
seaxytend to
Richard 11., insprecedet
cavalcade through the city of London. After having been
omitted by King James 1., on account of the plague, this pro.
cession Was added some months after as a " residue of the
solemnities of the coronation." By Charles I. it was en-
tirely omitted on the same plea, but partly to save the ex-
pense,
a war with France then pressing upon the resources of
the Exchequer. At the coronation of Charles 11. it Was re- '
vived with enthusiasm, but for the last time. The most cele-
brated and costly of these progresses was that at the coro-
nation of the beautiful but unfortunate Queen Anna Boleyn,
next to which is that of Queen Elizabeth, in whose hearty
English
present
feelings no subsequent Monarch so fully assimilates as
Sovereign. Elizabeth, it was remarked, was so
desirous,
to meet half way the efforts to do her honour, that
,
i
she was ready to take part herself in the allegorical pageants
which were exhibited, and mixed in the dialogue of the ficti-
tious characters who addressed her. Taking with both hands
the purse which they had presented to her, she said, " I thank
my Lord Mayor, his brethren, and you all, and whereas your
request is that I should continue your good lady and Queen,
be ve assured that I will be as good unto you as ever Queen
her
people. No will in me can lack, neither do I trust
shall there lack any power. And persuade yourselves that
was to
ttho esafety and quietness of you all, I will not spare, if
need he, to spend my blood. God thank you all." When
RichardlL, with his train, proceeded through Cheapside,
on the way to Westminster, the conduit at the upper end ran
with wine during the whole time of the procession, which
took up more than three hours. On the same spot also a
castle with four towers was erected, from two sides of
which issued abundance of wine ; and on each corner was
a beautiful virgin of the King's own age and stature, who,
face.
When be came up to the castle the damsels took golden
when he appeared at a distance blew leaves of gold in his
cups, and, filling them with wine, offered them to him. On
the top of the building was the image of an angel hold-
ingcrown of gold in tits hands, which was so ingeniously
contrived that on
athe Kng's approach it stooped and offered
him the crown.
LIFE IN LANCASTER CASTLE.—III the list of
insolvents ordered to be discharged forthwith by the chief
Commissioner last week, is the name of Leonard Albin.
since the last Court, it was said, Albin had been horsewhipped
by a Dr. Lane, from Liverpool, for ungentlemanly conduct.
Ile lent for a magistrate, who fined the Doctor 2/. and costs.
The debtors hereupon subscribed, and gave the Doctor a
dinner, at which he was presented with a whip, silver mounted,
and bearing the following inscription on the handle :—" Pre-
sented by a few friends as a token of respect."—Lancaster
Guardian.

STATE OF TRADE.—There has been rather more
business doing in the yarn market during the last few days,
but at gradually declining prices. For goods the market has
been flat, and prices rather lower than last week.—Manchester
Guardian.

WRONGS OF WOMEN.—A bold attack is to be
made on the supremacy of the Lords of the Creation, in the
next Number of The Metropolitan, in a paper to be entitled,
44 An Outline of the Grievances of Women." The subject,
%ye know, is one that has long been slumbering in the female
mind, and the sex will, we are assured, have no cause to re-
gret the pen which is about to assume its championship.
There is evidently to be rebellion in the camp, and when once
begun who can tell where or how it may end ?
On Monday evening last, about eight o'clock, a
respectable-looking elderly woman stopped at a broker's shop
on Saffron-hill, and was bargaining with the owner relative to
the purchase of a beer-machine, having all the aearance of
pp
good health about her, when she dropped down and instantly
expired. Serjeant Miles, of G division, who was passing by
immediately carried her to the Ship, public-house, near the
spot, and procured a surgeon, but life was quite extinct. Some
papers were found in her possession, and on inquiry it was
discovered that her name was Cook, and she resided with her
husband at 62, Baldwin-street, City-road ; and that a short
time prior to the awful dispensation of providence, she quitted
home apparently in good health and spirits.
At a numerous meeting of the Letter-press Printers
of Glasgow,
Tuesday held in East Regent-street Session House, on
evening, it was unanimously resolved to petition
Parliament against the Bill brought in by Mr. Serjeant Tal-
fourd, relative to the law of copyright.
Miss Julia Newman is, it appears, after all, to be
sent to Van Diemen's Land, in the John Renwick transport
with other female convicts.

LIGHTING the HOUSE of COMMONS.

lAfter the adjournment of the House last night, Sir Frederick
Trench and some other Hoa. Members, who were anxious to
try the effect of the new arrangement for lighting the House,
re-called the attendants, who had previously made their ap-
pearance in the galleries, but who had been compelled to with-
draw from the vehement remonstrances of the Chancellor of
the Exchequer and Mr. Hume. The three large chandeliers,
which hold about sixty wax-lights each, were then lighted,
and the shades lowered over them, so as to prevent the glare of
light affecting the eyes of persons in the side or end galleries,
and the result was a powerful and steady light thrown upon
the body of the House, which rendered every object distinctly
visible at the remotest corners. The shades, which were pre-
pared in the course or Tuesday afternoon, after the House had
been counted out, are of green glazed calico, stretched out
upon a wooden frame-work, and somewhat resemble gigantic
umbrellas or parachutes. The reporters' and strangers' gal-
leries are lighted by the chandeliers previously used for that
purpose, but the Members' side galleries arc in " utter dark-
ness," and will afford very comfortable dormitories for those
Hon. Gentlemen upon whom legislative eloquence usually
exercises a soporific influence. This is the only point upon
which it appears to us that any improvement or alteration trill
be necessary. The light from the three centre chandeliers, with-
out any of the offensive glare of gas, is strong enough to enable
persons in the body of the House to read the smallest print
without difficulty ; and by a new plan, the chandeliers are
lighted by a single touch of the taper, a thread of tow dipped
in spirits of turpentine being carried round the lights. The
face of the clock will, we understand, be blackened, and the
figures and hands painted white ; and when this has be6n ef-
fected, we think the new arrangement will be found more
efficient and generally satisfactory than any that has yet been
tried.
