THE CORONATION MATCH.
A grand sailing match in honour of her Majesty's Corona-
tion took place yesterday for three superb silver Cups and
Covers, given by the Royal Thames Yacht Club. The com-
petitors for these valuable prizes were exclusively members
of the Club, and cut of the undermentioned fourteen vessels,
all,'with the exception of one (the Maria), which were booked
is start, made their appearance at the station at the appointed
time. The Royal Sovereign steam-boat was engaged by the
Club for the accommodation of the members and their friends,
and, with a cargo of some 350 ladies, gentlemen, and juve-
niles, accompanied the yachts to Gravesend and back, the
start being off the Royal Hospital at Greenwich to a flag-boat
stationed off Gravesend, round which they sailed, and returned
to Greenwich. The yachts entered were of three classes, and
as there were three prizes, one of the value of fifty, and the
two others of about thirty-five and twenty-five guineas, they
were respectively to be assigned to the first boat of each class
that passed the winning flag. Among the company an board
the steam-boat we noticed, in addition to Harrison, Esq.,
the Commodore, and many of the members of the Club, Lord
Tenterden, Barons de Porbeck and De Haber, Captain Min-
gay, R.N., and several other persons of rank, distinction, and
respectability. The morning, however, was most unfavour-
able, and an absence of any thing that could be construed into
a breeze in the earlier part of it threw the male lovers of aqua-
tic sports into despair, while the rain not only damped the
spirits, but, what was far worse, formed a sort of trickling en-
trance into the muslin and silk of that, under such circum-
stances, by no means most placid portion of earth's people.
At ten o'clock the Royal Sovereign conveyed its discontented
load of water-spirits to Greenwich, at which place, as is cus-
tomary on such occasions, the Cups were taken ashore for tLe
purpose of being submitted to the inspection of Admiral Sir
Thomas Hardy, the Vice-Patron, who, no doubt, was pleased
to express his approbation of them, both with reference to their
shape and workmanship.
At a quarter before twelve the yachts took their stations in
two Ibes, the first line being assigned to those of the third
class. Before twelve o'clock the starting gun was fired, and,
had the weather permitted, the sight at this moment would
have been beautiful. As it was, however, it was not very
interesting, as the rain fell a verses, and made everybody
uncomfortable, and almost careless (with the exeeption of a
few knowing amateurs) as to which of the yachts got the aft.
ventage of the start. The following are the names of the
vessels :

First and Second Classes.

The Ada Jane swung round first and got the start, but was
unable to keep it, and the Petrel was ales successful in get-
ting away ; but there was so little wind that the rest swung
round with difficulty, and were all in a ruck. Off Woolwich,
however, the crack yachts got ahead, and the Gazelle, Victo-
rine, iMaEhran, and Princess Victeria, as well as the Queen,
were considerably in advance of the rest. It is impossible to
give any accurate statement of the particular spots in which
each vessel successively gave each other the go-by. Suffice
)t to say that at half-pest two o'clock the Queen was the first
that rounded the flae-boat at Gravesend, the Gazelle fellow_
ing her 'sae minute afterwards, the Victorine and Princess
two or three minutes later, followed by the Malik:rim, Wid-
geon, Alert, who 'were close in their walre. On the return
home the Gazelle, Widgeon, Victorine, and. Rincesa were in
the first rank a great part of the way, but several changes
took place in their relative positions before they reached the
wincing boat. The weather cleared up about five o'clock,
ant'. the steamer arrived at Greenwich much sooner than the
eachts. At seventeen minutes past seven the Gazelle came
in first, amid the cheers of all the pa-ties on the water aid
ashore, and won the chief prize. The Princess arid Wide.eon
were the two next heats, but were entitled to no prize, as they
sere of the same clips. Of the second class the Victorine
was the first in, and claimed the accord prize, followed by the
Ada Jane of the same class ; while the Brilliant was the sue-
ccgsful boat of the thiid class, beating the Malibran by half a
minute. We heard sem.. rumours of foul play having been
practised against some of the yachts ter perso is (who are not
or:know:0 wito were out in bums at different points and soffit"-
thiiig further will no doubt be heard of these unfair proceed-
legs towards any members of a Club which so liberally cot-gri-
t utes to the sports on the river, and the interes's of those per-
eolls who gain a livelihood on its surface. We have every
reason to acknowledge, as on former occasions, the urbanity of
the Commodore, and the attention on the part of the Club to
the comforts of all on board the steamboat; and are haypy to
add, when the weather cleared up, Mackintoshes, pilot-coats,
umbrellas, and shawls, were laid aside, and those who chose to
dance on deck did so to their hearts' content. The dancers
were not, certainly, in fancy dresses; but, owing to the dirty
state of the deck from the rain, and the dra;:gleti slate of the
flounces of the one sex, and of the inexpressibles of the other,
our readers will easily imagine that their general appearance
was more picturesque than cleanly. However, they appeared
to enjoy themselves ; and (as an elegant writer in a contempo-
rary journal observed the other day) " what's the odds as
long as you're happy?" The festivities were kept up late,
which we objected to be at; so at a decent hour landed on
terra firma for the night.

(ADVERTIIMMENT,
TO the READERS of the "NORTHERN
STAR," AND TO THE WORKING MEN OF TIIE
NORTH OF ENGLAND.

London, July 3, 1838.
FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN,-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. Here it is, and I respectfully request your atten-
tion to this my defence, of having ventured to say a word in
favour of (as a vehicle of communication) the only Daily
Paper, now publishing, that will insert any communication
whatever, either explanatory er jmtificatory, of working men,
without payment.

The cielay that has occurred at the Northern Star Office is
my only reason fur resorting to this method of addressing
you. I arn, Fellow Countrymen,
.. -Your obliged obedient servant.
JOHN CLEAVE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR.
1, Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, London.
April 24,1838
Doer 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 encomium ? 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 op
that occasion ' • however, let that pass.
When the True 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 bad 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 GlAsgovr, 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 " Scotch patriots." In-
deed, on every occasion when publicity has been needed, there
has notbeen the least shrinking from the promise made. Then,
Sir, came the Dorch,-,ter procession, during the week pre-
vious to which the whole of tlie daily press were belching
forth their condemnation of all the parties who were labour_
ing to give effect to the entrance of their persecuted friends
into the metropolis. I mistake, there was an exception,
that was The Sun it published entire the programme;
and more, its Ed,tor cheered on the li,trelles:er Com-
mittee, end userted 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,
bare named The Address of the Trades Combination
Committee, which The Sun published as anon as sent,
but which has not, I fear, appeared vet in any provincial
not even in Northern Star. Sir, those who
paper,
beard the "encomium" that :Ist g
.you. offence, hear.? rne
state, that my praise wa3g:ven for tie Instice dune as or,;-.ln
of communication, and not as the •' Whig Sint." 'i his was
made distinct enough, and. as such. I feel myself fully justi.
fied in every word that I uttered.—Yours truly,
JOHN CLEAN-E.

LORD ROLLE.—There has been some misappre-
hension as to the accident that occurred to a Noble Lord (luring the
ceremony of the homage at the late Coronation. It has been variously
stated as having happened to Lord Holland and Lord Rolle; but the fact
was that Lord Rolle, who is 87 yeai.i of age, and so infirm as to be
obliged to support himself by two walking sticks, had just placed his foot
on the lower pert of the Throne, when he tottered and fell back. His
Lordship was immediately raised by the Peers near him, and again pro-
ceeded towards the Queen. The moment her 'Majesty observed him she
advanced towards the venerable nobleman, and with the most charming
condescension extended Isar hand to him. There was much of form to
which the Sovereign had to submit on that day ; but the example thus
Set by Royalty, of the deference due from youth to age—though in deft-
'Luce of all form—was perhaps the most striking incident in the whole
proceedings.—Morning Post.
At Swedish inns, as well as at private tables, they
serve the, soup in the middle of dinner, and Alpine strawberries and
cream after the fish.
