HOUSE OF itErIIESENTATIVES.

We have great satisfaction in stating that the Governments
of Cordolia, Mendoza, and San Luis have replied to the com-
munication of the
,fundamental law sanctioned by the .Con-
gress, and that it has been accepted with tte greatest enthu-
siasm. This is the fairest reward Which" the representatives of
the nation can receive for their labottri. - -

In another parttilf our Paper we have giyen an
abstract of Mr. PETER MOORE'S Bill, on the sub-
ject of Joint Stock Companies. We shall have
occasion, at another time, to mak eta few remarks
upon it, and therefore abstain at this moment,
merely hinting that the Bill, as it now stands, is
not so good as the repealed Act of George 2d.

THE CORONATION OP THZ KING Or FRANCE.—At this
august ceremony the Archbishop of Rheims will be the officiat-
ing Prelate. The BiShop of Soissons, as suffragan, will perform
the functions of Deacon,. and those of Sub-Deacon will devolve
upon the Bishop'of Amiens. The two French Cardinals will oc-
cupy the sides of the altar. The Archbishops of Besancon
and Bourges, and the Bishops of Annan and livreux, are ap-
pointed to say the prayers. The ornaments which these Reverend
Prelates will wear, are of the greatest magnificence, and in
the best taste. A chausible, twelve dalmatics, and twelve
copes, of rich - Lytins silks, have just been finished. The
ground of the chausible for the Archbishop of "Rheims is !
sprinkled with gold, and enriched with raised designs in
tution of embroidery ; in the fore part is a costly diamond,
as large as a filbert. In the centre of the cross on the back
is the monogram I. H. S. in brilliant diamonds, surrounded by
a halo of glory, of matchless splendour. The mitre is en-
riched with Jewels: Those' of the other Prelates are also ex-
tremely brilliarit. The stole, the maniple, the pal, and the chalice
cloth, are richly gilt, and each cross is adorned with a large
diamond. Upon a drapery of superb purple velvet, and in the
midst of a golden halo of glory, is embroidered a Holy Spirit, in
silver spangles and pearls. The eye is of rubies. The hangings
of the church are remarkable for their neatness, elegance, and
exquisite workmanship. Among them is a white satin curtain,
wrought in transparent designs. A cross and six superb candela-
bras have been executed at Paris, for the High Altar. The cross
is nine feet in elevation, and the candelabras five. They .are
copies of the antique, and their elevation, the choice of the orna-
ment, the perfection of the workmanship, and the beauty of the
gilding, excite universal admiration. Upon the foot of the cross
and the candelabras are alternately a royal crown, his Alajesty's
cypher, and the figure. of St. Remy. The Christ of the cross is
chased in the most exquisite manner. All these objects, it issaid,.
will belong to the Cathedral of Rheims. Lieutenant-General
Count Lion, commander of the second military division,will pro-
ci.ed to Rheims. at .the time of the Coronation,, with the three
21lajor-Generals commanding the sub-divisionsof hisdivishin, to
take the general command of the troops of the line assembled.
there at that period. Major-General the Baron Delcambre will
command the Infantry; Major-General Baron Wathier the
cavalry ; and Major-General Baron Picquet du Boisgny, the
garrison of Rheims. Lieutenant-General Lion, accompanied
by his stall; will proceed to the frontier of the division, namely
to Fismes, with General Delcambre, Commander of the De-
partment of Marine, there to receive his Majesty.--(

TIANOVER-SQUARE.—The eighth performance
of the Concert of Ancient Music, for the present season, took
place last night. The selection was by Lord DARNI.EY, and
altogether afforded full proofs of his Lordship's musical know-
ledge and taste. The instrumental and vocal pieces were from
Purcell, Handel, Marcella. Dr. Cooke, Sacchini, Corelli and
Dr. Hayes. The vocal Performers were illiss Stephens,
Vaughan, W. Knyvett, J. B. Sale, Sapio, Phillips, Bellamy,
Miss Travis and Miss Wilkinson. All except the last
of these Performers are well known to the Public, but as Miss
Wilkinson has recently come forward, she is entitled to peculiar
notice and encouragement. She possesses a sweet and powerful
voice, and by her performance on the pianoforte, which we
noticed a few evenings ago, it is also evident that she is an
accomplished musician. Her engagement at this Institution
is a proof that though the Noble Directors select the works
of departed masters, they are not indifferent to living talents,
and Miss Wilkinson, having the stamp of their approbation on
her merit, will, of course, pass current through the musical
world. The Concert commenced with the Overture of Handel,
and was followed by the Frost Scene from Purcell, well given
by Miss Stephens and Bellamy. A pleasing Duet of Marcella'
was beautifully supported by Miss Wilkinson and 'Miss Ste-
phens. The eleventh Concerto of Handel agreeably diversified
the entertainment, and also the eleventh Concerto of Gemini-
niani Corelli. Miss Wilkinson sung with beautiful expression
sacchini's fiesta Ingrata, and Miss Stephens " Let rue wan-
. der" with her usual interesting simplicity. But we cannot
notice particulars. The whole concluded with Choruses from
Israel in Egypt. The room was crowded with company,
among whom we observed the late Empress of the Dramatic
Regions, Mrs. Siddons, to which she so long imparted dignity
and splendour.
