THE RETURN FROM THE ABBEY

The procession commenced to leave the Abbey at twenty
minutes to four o'clock, but her Majesty did not get into her
carriage till twenty minutes to five, when she was received in
the same enthusiastic manner as when she arrived along the
whole line. Her Royal Mother and her Royal Uncle of
Susses; also received the same raced of the public approba-
tion.

We cannot close our account of the ceremony without
tendering our best thanks to the Commissioners of Metropo-
titan Police, and to the men, who obeyed their orders with
the utmost alacrity and attention,

One of our Correspondents, who was present in the Choir of
Westminster Abbey throughout the,whoe of the august ceremonial,
and whose detailed report of the proceedings we shall lay before
the public in our next, represents the scene as the most magnifi.
(featly grand ever witnessed. The music, with but a trifling ex-
ceptiou or two, he states to have gone off in the most complete
and satisfactory manner., The effect of the vicious choruses wan
olaieetic in the extreme,

CORONATION ANECDOTES.
[Abridged from a little work entitled " Chapters on
Coronations."]

the age of the Piantagenets and Tudors,
o,:d under the Stuarts, until the coronation of
James 11., it was customary for the kings to
reside in 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 dignitai9es, 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.

CHARLICS I.

The coronation of Charles I. was delayed
until the sth of February, 1626, in conse-
quence of the plague, which then reigned in
London. The principal novelty was the in-
troduction of the following clause in one of the
prayers : " Let him obtain favour for thy
people, like Aaron in the tabernacle, Elisha
ix.' the waters, Zacharias in the temple. Give
him Peter's key of discipline and Paul's doc-
trine."

In the year 1633 Charles I. went to be
crowned king of Scotland at Edinburgh, He
Was received with great splendour, and seve-
ral pageants were prepared to honour his re-
ception. The most singular was a triumphal
arch, under which a mountain was raised in
the form, of a theatre, upon which sat a nymph,
representing the Genius of the city of Edin-
burgh. " Shee was attired in a sea-greene
velvet mantle ; her sleeves and under roabe
of blew tissue, with blew buskins on her feete ;
about her necke shee wore a chaine of dia-
monds, the dressing of her- head represented
a castle with turrets, her locks dangled upon
her shoulders." She was attended by Reli-
gion, "all in white taffeta, with a blew mantle
seeded with starres, and a crown of stones on
her head, to chew from whence she is," lean-
ing upon a shield, and trampling beneath her
feet Superstition, represented as a blind old
woman, covered with rags. On the left hand
stood Justice, in " a red damaske mantle,"
trampling upon Oppression, represented as " a
person of fierce aspecte, in armes, but broken
all and icattered."

RICHARD 111.

Richard 111. and his queen, Anne, daugh-
, ter to the Earl of Warwick, were crowned on
the sth of July, 1483, " with the self same
provision," says Grafton, "that was appointed
for the coronation of his nephew." The king
and queen received the sacrament from the
hands of the cardinal archbishop of Canter-1
bury, and one host, or conservative wafer, w
divided between them. nib

HENRY VII.
Henry VII. was crowned October 3oth,
1485, and his queen, Elizabeth, October 3oth,
1487. The latter was remarkable for the
procession by water from the palace of Green-
wich to the Tower, instead of from West-
minster, as was usual. The queen was
escorted by the lord mayor, sheriffs, and the
heads of the different companies in their state
barges, richly ornamented with silken pennons
and streamers, and also with the banners of the
different trades, on which their arms were em-
broidered
in gold. One of these barges, called
the bachelors' barge, contained an extraor-
dinary pageant, an enormous red dragon which
spouted streams of fire into the Thames.
When the queen rode through the city on the
following day, choirs of children dressed as
angels were stationed in different places, who
sang hymns and songs as she passed by.

CHARLES 11.

Charles IL, having been invited to Scot-
land by the Presbyterians, was . crowned at
Scone, January 1, 1651. On this occasion a
most extraordinary sermon was preached by
" Master Robert Dowglas, minister at Edin-
burgh, moderator of the General Assembly,
from • 2 Kings xi. verses 12-17;" The
preacher delivered a fierce philippic against
the young king's father and mother, the latter
of whom he compared to the wicked Athaliah.

When the ceremony was concluded, " the
minister spoke to him a word of exhortation ;"
that is to say, a long oration, scarcely less
offensive than the sermon.

HINRY V.

Henry V. was cremned OR the 9th of April,
1413. Katherine of France, the queen of
Henry V., was crowned on the 24th of Fe-
bruary, 1420 ; the account which Holinshed
gives of the magnificence displayed upon this
occasion is far too characteristic of the age to
be omitted. " After the great solemnisation
of the foresaid coronation in the church of St.
Peter's, at Westminster, was ended, the queene
was conveied into the great Hall of West-
minster, and there set to dinner. Upon whose
right hand sat, at the end of the table, the
archbishop of Canterbury, and Henrie sur-
named the Rich, cardinall of Winchester.
Upon the left Land of the queene sat the kin
of Scots in his estate, who was served with

covered messe, as were the foretold bishops,
but yet after them. Upon the left hand, next
to the cupboord, sat the maior and his bre-
thren, the aldermen of London. The bishops
began the table, against the barons of the
Cinque Ports; and the ladies against the
maior. These, with others, ordered the ser-
vice ; and, for the first course, brawne in snus-
tard, eeles in burneur, pike in herbage, faissent
with balien, lamprie powdered, trout, codling,
plaice fried, martine fried, crabs, leech lam-
bard flourished tartes, and a device called a
pellican, sitting on hir nest with hir birr m, awl
an image of St. Katharine holding a lsooke,
and disputing with doctors.
" The second course was, gellie 'coloured
with columbine flowers, white potage sr creame
of almonds, breame of the sea, conger, chmtea,
barbill and roch, fresh salmon, halibut, Vir-
nard, rochet broiled, smelts fried, crevis or
lobster, leech-damaske, with the king's poesie
flourished thereon.

,c The third course was, dates in compoot,
creame motle, carpe deore, turbut, tench,
pearch with goion, fresh sturgion with wells,
porperous rosted, crevesse de eau doure, prams,
eeles rosted with lamprie, a leech, called the
white leech, flourished with hawthorn leaves
and red haves ; a marchpane garnished with
diverse figures of angels."

HENRY VI.

Henry VI. was crowned at Westminster,
Nov. 6th, 1429, being then only in the ninth
year of his age. The coronation feast was
celebrated at Westminster with great splen-
dour. In the first course, Fabian tells us,
there were, among other royal viands, " Bore
hedes in castellys of gold and enarmed," "Cus-
tard royal], with a lyopard of golde syttyng
therein, and holding a floure de lyce." The
pageant for this course was, "A sotyltie of
Seynt Edwarde and Seynt Lowys armed, and
upon eyther his cote armoure, holdyng atwene
them a figure lyke unto Kynge Henry, stand-
ynge also in his cote armoure, and a scripture
passynge from them both, saying-e,—‘ Beholde
II perfyght kynges under one cote armoure.' "

EDWARD IV.
The monarch had his title confirmed by the
forms of a popular election. Immediately
after his victory over Henry VI. he came to
London, and returned thanks to God at St.
Paul's church. He was then conducted in

solemn procession to Westminster, and placed
on the King's Bench, in the Hall, which was
filled with people.. It was then demanded of
the commons whether they .would accept this
prince t be their sovereign ; to which all
assented. He was crowne by archbishop
Bouchier, June 29th, 1461.

EDWARD V.
Preparations were made for the coronation
of Edward V., but the barons and commons
refused to accept any of the late King's sons
as their sovereign, and tendered the crown to
Richard duke of Gloucester.
London, England, 1838-06-28

GEORGE IV.

The coronation of George IV., which took
place on July 19, 1821, was the most splendid
ever celebrated in England.
A special act of parliamant was passed to
enable the duke of Norfolk, who was a Ro-
man Catholic, to perform the functions of earl
marshal on the da.r of the coronation. He

also, as premier peer of England, returned
thanks for the sovereign when the king's health
was toasted by the peers.
During the coronation feast the king ac_
knowledged the different services perform.,l,
according to ancient usage very graciously,
save only when the cup of wine was presented
by the lord mayor and citizens of London.
His majesty treated these gentlemen with .
marked coolness, and did not acknowledge,
their service by any salutation.

The account of this coronation given by Sit
Walter Scott is so graphic and lively, that w€
think it will gratify our readers to insert an
abridgment of it.

" The effect of the scene in the Abbey was
beyond measure magnificent. The altar sur-
rounded by the fathers of the church—the
king encircled by the nobility of the land and
the councillors of his throne, and by warriors,
wearing the honoured marks of distinction
bought by many a glorious danger—add to
this, the rich spectacle of the aisles crowded
with with waving plumage, and coronets, and
caps of honour, and the sun, which brightened
and saddened as if on purpose, now beaming
in full lustre on the rich and varied assemblage,
and now darting a solitary ray, which catched,
as it passed, the glittering folds of a banner,
or the edge of a group of battle-axes or parti-
zans, and then rested full on some fair form,
the cynosure of neighbouring eyes,' whose
circlet of diamonds glistened under its influ-
ence. Imagine all this, and then tell me if I
have made my journey of four hundred miles
to little purpose. _ _

" The bog assigned to the foreign ambas-
sadors presented a most brilliant effect, and
was perfectly in a blaze with diamonds. When

the sunshine lighted on Prince Esterhazy,ln
particular, he glimmered like a galaxy. An
honest Persian was also a remarkable figure,

from the dogged and impenetrable gravity
with which he looked on the whole scene,
without ever moving a limb or a muscle during
the space of four hours. Like Sir Wilful Wit-
woml, I cannot find that your Persian is ortho-

dos ; for, if he scorned everything else, there
was a Mahometan paradise extended on his

right hand along the seats which were occu-
pied by the peeresses and their daughter;
which the Prophet himself might have looked

on with emotion."

But, in truth, the only interesting spectacle
connected with this feast was the challenge of
the champion, which is now not only unmean-
ing but illegal ; for it is directly contrary to
the statute abolishing wager of battle in all
cases whatsoever.

CHARLES I.

The coronation of Charles T. was delayed
until the sth of February, 1626, in conse-
quence of the plague, which then reigned in
London. The principal .novelty was the in-
troduction of the following clause in one of the
prayers : " Let him obtain favour for thy

in the waters, Zacharias in the temple. Give
him Peter's key of discipline and Paul's doc-
trine."

stood Justice, in " a red damaske mantle,"
trampling upon. Oppression, represented as " a
person of fierce aspecte, in armes, but broken
all and scattered."

JAMES IL

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."

W ILLIAM AND MA'

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 11th of April, 1689, tho
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.

CMARLES 11.

Charles IL, haring been invited to Scot-
land by the Presbyterians, was crowned at
Scone, January 1, 1651. On this occasion a

WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR.

After William had taken the coron:lati
oath, to protect the church, prohibit oppr
-ion, and execute judgment in mercy, Aldr
,•ut the question, "Will ye have this prin
obe your king ?" The people answered wi
oud shouts, and the noise gave so inuch,alar
o the Norman garrison in the • city, that t
oldiers, believing the English to have revolte
ithout waiting to make any investigation, i
ediately set the next houses on fire,
preading and giving a general alarm, most
e congregation rushed out of the church, th
nglish hastening to stop the fire, and th
ormans to plunder. The bishops, clerg
d monks, who remained within the churc
ere in such confusion, that they were scare
•le to go through the office of crowning th
ng ; William himself, who saw the tumul
d could not conjecture its cause, sate tre
ing at the foot of the altar, and, though n
eat mischief was done by the fire, it laid
iundation of a long and inveterate en
tween the English and the Normans.
WILLIAM 11., RUFUS

William IL laid claim to the crown by
virtue of a form of election ; the nobles believ-
ing that he would be less inclined to control
their usurped privileges than his elder brother,
Robert. He was crowned at Westminster,
September 27, 1087, by Lanfranc archbishop
of Canterbury, and the archbishop of York.
Besides swearing to observe justice, equity, and
mercy in all his conduct, and to maintain the
peace, liberties, and privileges of the church,
he promised that he would follow the arch-
bishop's councils in his administrations.

SKETCH OF HER MAJESTY.

• Her most gracious Majesty is the only
daughter of the duke of Kent, the fourth son
of George 111., and of the duchess of Kent;
the sister of Leopold, king of the Belgians.
She was born on the 24th of May, 1819, and
had reached the age (eighteen) required by,
the law, before she could assume the reins of
government, in the month previous to her ac-
cession to the throne on the death of William
the Reformer, on June 20th, 1837. On the
present memorable day her Majesty was
crowned, and now reigns over an affectionate
and trusting people by all possible legal
titles.

Till her accession to the throne her Ma-
jesty led a retired life under the care of her
mother, who, giving up her native land; de-
voted herself most assiduously to the educa-
tion of her child, in order to• make her Majesty
worthy of the high Station to which she was
born.

During the short time her Majesty has,
reigned she has well responded to the "tender
and enlightened mother," under whose care,
her Majesty said, I have learned from my
infancy to respect and love the constitution of
my native country." On her first memorable
appearance before the Council on the day of
her accession, "stepping from the privacy of
domestic life to the discharge of her high
functions," she so demeaned herself as to
cause general approbation. "She inspired,"
London, England, 1838-06-28

so was I overwhelmed, and runty by thee de-
livered. To thee, therefore; onelie be tb4nks,
"
honor, and praise, for ever. Amen.

JAMES I.

The ceremonial for the coronation of James
I. was prepared under the superintendence of
that monarch, and displays many marks of the
pedantry and extravagant notions of the royal
prerogative, which form so large a portion of
his, character. He created two earls, ten
barons, sixty-two knights of the Bath, and
conferred the honour of knighthood on about
four hundred gentlemen.
London, England, 1838-06-28

ANNE.

Anne was crowned April 23, 1702 ; her
husband, prince George of Denmark, was
present, but took no prominent part in the ce-
remony. The queen gave the kiss of peace to
the archbishop and the other prelates ; but,
when the temporal peers did their homage,
they only seemingly kissed her majesty's left
cheek. As parliament was sitting, galleries
were provided for members of the House of
Commons, both in the Hall and the Abbey,
and a sumptuous dinner was prepared for
them in the Exchequer Chamber
London, England, 1838-06-28

HENRY IV.

Henry I V. was crowned by archbishop Fitz-
alan on the 13th of October, 1399, and on this
occasion the ampulla was first employed.
After Henry had gone to the Tower he created
forty-six knights of the Bath, among whom
were three of his own sons. The yiucession
from the Tower to Westminster was unusually
splendid, no less than six thousand horses
having been employed on the occasion.
Froissart gives the following .account of
Henry 1 V.'s procession. « The "dyke of Lan-
caster left the Tower this Sunday after dinner,
on his return to Westminster ; be was bare
, headed, and had round his neck the order of
the king of France. The prince cf Wales,
six dukes, six earls, eighteen barons, accom-
panied him, and there were of knights and
other nobility from eight to nine huncred horse
in the procession. He passed through the
streets of London, which were all handsomely
decorated with tapestries and other rich hang-
ings : there were nine fountains in Cheapside
and other streets he passed through, that ran
perpetually with white and red wines. The
whole cavalcade amounted to six thousand
horse, that escorted the dui-- r..om the Tower
to Westminster."

London, England, 1838-06-28

GEORGE 111.

George 111. and queen Charlotte were
crowned the 22nd of September, 1761.
In the Gentleman's Magazine for 1764,
p. 28, is an extract from a letter addressed to
the duke of Devonshire, which contains the
following singular anecdote :--`` The young
Pretender himself was in Westminster Hall
during the coronation, and in town two or three
days before and after it, under the name of
Mr. Brown. A gentleman told me so, who!
saw him there, and who whispered in his ear,
Your royal highness is the last of all mortals
whom I should expect to see he:-e.'.--` It wwl
curiosity that led me,' said the other : but I
assure you,' added he, that the person who is
the cause of all this pomp and magnificence is
the man I envy the least ! ' "
When the champion cast down his gauntlet
for the last time, a white glove fell fro.n one
of the spectators, who was in an elevated si-
tuation ; on its being handed to the champion,
he demanded, " Who was his far foe ?" The
glove was said to have been thrown by the
young chevalier, who was present in female
attire.

LONDON:
THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 28, 1838

Our Journal of this day commemorates the Coro-
nation of her MAJESTY, by appearing in a golden
dress. We claim little more merit for this splendid
specimen of the united arts of engraving and printing,
than having most diligently exerted ourselves to lay
it before our readers. To the great ingenuity of
the firm of De La Rum and Co., to the perseve-
rance and exertions of Messrs. CLOWES and Son, to
the great skill of Mr. EDWARD WYON the modeller,
and to the talents of one of the first engravers of the,
age—to all these gentlemen combined we are in-
debted for the great beauty which our journal this
day exhibits. The zeal of all the gentlemen we
have mentioned, and in particular, M. De La
RUE, in rendering us assistance, is above our
praise, and seemed dictated by a conviction that
their own honour was concerned in our success.
Our readers may form some idea of the exertions
and expense necessary to attain our object, when
we state that it has required the united labour
of three large establishments, comprising be-
tween two and three hundred persons. Our publication
is a proof that our exertions have not been in vain, and
the very handsome manner in which three of our
Morning Contemporaries have done us the honour
to speak of the specimen we laid before them, is
an earnest of that praise we hope to deserve from
the public at arge.
We have unfortunately to regret that an accident,
wholly unexpected, and which might have happened
at any time to almost any printing completed by
machinery, will prevent us from p repaying to-
night the large numbers for which we have a
demand. All our Subscribers we shall serve to-
night ; but the Public at large must have pa-
tience with us. By Saturday, we hope to
continue our publication, and from that time for-
ward we shall be ready to answer all the immense
demand, already far exceeding our expectation, and
amounting to nearly a quarter of a million, which
may be made.
For ourselves, we shall briefly say that we
have no- other object in view than to please that
public which we have ever found an indulgent
and encouraging employer ; and, to do honour
to that day on which the Nation's QUEEN has vowed
at the Altar and before her assembled people to pre-
serve the Nation's liberties. and, with God-like
attributes, to do justice, tempered with mercy.
London, England, 1838-06-28

EDWARD I.

On the 15th of August, 1274, Edward I.
and his queen Eleanor were crowned at
Westminster by the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, aided by other prelates.
Holinshed adds some remarkable particu-
lars of this coronation :

" At this coronation were present, Alexan-
der king of Scots, and John earle pf Bretaine,
with their wives that were sisters to King
Edward. The king of Scots did homage unto
King Edward for the realme of Scotland, in
like manner as other the kings of Scotland
before him had doone to other kings of Eng-
land, ancestoures to this King Edward. At
the solemnitie of this coronation there were
let go at libertie (catch thorn that catch might)
five hundred great horsses by the king of
Scots, the earles of Cornewall, Glocester,
Pembroke, Warren, and others, as they were
allighted fro their backs."
London, England, 1838-06-28

WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR.

After William had taken the coronation
oath, to protect the church, prohibit oppres-
sion, and execute judgment in mercy, Aldred
put the question, " Will ye have this prince
to be your king ?" The people answered with
loud shouts, and the noise gave so much alarm
to the Norman garrison in the city, that the
soldiers, believing the English to have revolted,
without waiting to make any investigation, im-
mediately set the next houses on fire, which
spreading and giving a general alarm, most of
the congregation' rushed out of the church, the
English hastening to stop the fire, and the
Normans to plunder. The bishops, clergy,
and monks, who remained within the church,
were in such confusion, that they were scarce

able to go through the office of crowning the
• king; William himself, who saw the tumult,
and could not conjecture its cause, sate trem-
bling at the foot of the altar, and, though no
great mischief was done by the fire, it laid the
foundation of a long and inveterate enmity
between the English and the Normans.
London, England, 1838-06-28

THE ORB.

The Queen then sitting down, the Archbishop having re-
ceived the Orb from the Dean, delivered it into the Queen's
right hand, saying, "Receive this Imperial Robe and Orb,"
&c. Her Majesty then returned the Orb to the Dean, who
laid it on the altar.

Le Cross, and the Sceptre with the Dove, and delivered

them to the Archbishop.
In the mean time, the Duke of Norfolk, as Lord of the
Manor of Worksop, left his seat, and, approaching the Queen,
and, kneeling, presented to her Majesty a glove for her right

jesty put on.

into her Majesty's right hand, saying, " Receive the Royal
Sceptre;" &c. ; and then the Sceptre with the Dove into her
left hand, saying, " Receive the Rod of Equity," &c. ; and
the Lord of the Manor of Worksop supported her Majesty's
right arm, and held the Sceptre.

QUEEN MARY.

Mary, the first female sovereign of this
realm, was crowned on the Ist of October,
1553, by Stephen 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, Easterling,
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 the weather-
cock of Paule'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 gr.:at. The
said Peter had 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.

HENRY 1.

The coronation of Henry I. was performed
in a hurried manner, on the fourth day after
the death t,f Rufus. In every respect the
forms of his coronation were the same as those

ST F.
The' coronation of Stephen, after he had
sworn allegiance to the empress Matilda, was
viewed with great anxiety in an age when it
was supposed that the punishment of perjury
was immediate and visible. The ceremony
was performed by William archbishop of
Canterbury ; and it is said that a dreadful
storm arose, which threw all the parties into
such confusion, that the consecrated wafer fell
on the ground, the kiss of peace after the
sacrament viaz omitted, and even the final
benediction forgotten.

PLETELY CURED ME of DIARRHEA."
From SYMES and CO., Pharmaceutical Chemists. Simla, January 5, 1880.
To T. J. DAVENPORT, London.—" DEAR SIR,—We congratulate you upon the
widespread reputation this justly-esteemed medicine has earned for itself all
over the East. As a remedy of general utility, we much question whether a
better is imported, and we shall be glad to hear of its finding a place in every
Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, we are happy to say, are now relegated
to the native bazaars, and judging from their sale, we fancy their sojourn there
will be but evanescent. We could multiply instances ad infinitum of the extra-
ordinary efficacy of DR. COLLIS BROWNE'S CHLORODYNE in Diarrhoea
and Dysentery, Spasms, Cramps, Neuralgia, the vomiting of pregnancy, and as
a general sedative, that have occurred under our personal observation during
many years. In Choleraic Diarrhcea, and even in the more terrible forms of
Cholera itself, we have witnessed its surprisingly controlling power. We have
never used any other form of this medicine than Collis Browne's, from a firm
conviction that it is decidedly the best, and also from a sense of duty we owe
to the profession and the public, as we are of opinion that the substitution of
any other than Collis Browne's is a deliberate breach of faith on the part of
the chemist to prescriber and patient alike.—We are, Sir, faithfully yours,
SYMES AND Co., Members of the Pharm. Society of Great Britain. His
Excellency the Viceroy's Chemists.

DR. J. COLLIS BROWNE'S CHLORODYNE
is the TRUE PALLIATIVE in
NEURALGIA, GOUT, CANCER,
TOOTHACHE, RHEUMATISM.

DR. J. COLLIS BROWNE'S CHLORODYNE
is a Liquid Medicine which assuages PAIN of EVERY KIND, affords
a calm, refreshing sleep WITHOUT HEADACHE, and INVIGORATES
the nervous system when exhausted.

DR. J. COLLIS BROWNE'S CHLORODYNE
rapidly cuts short all attacks of
EPILEPSY, SPASMS, COLIC,
PALPITATION, HYSTERIA.

EDWARD I.

On the 15th of August, 1274, Edward I.
and his queen Eleanor were crowned at
Westminster by the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, aided by other prelates.
Holinshed adds some remarkable particu-
lars of this coronation :

" At this coronation were' present, Alexan-
der king of Scots, and John earle of Bretaine,
with their wives that were sisters to King
Edward. The king of Scots did homage unto
King Edward for the realme of Scotland, in
like manner as other the kings of Scotland
before him had doone to other kings of Eng-
land, ancestoures to this King Edward. At
the solemnitie of this coronation there were
let go at libertie (catch them that catch might)
five hundred great horsses by the king of
Scots, the caries of Cernewall, Glocester,
Pembroke, Warren, and others, as they were
allighted fro their backs."

TILE RING.

The, Lord Chamberlain of her Majesty's household then
receiving from the officer of the Jcwcl Office the ruby ring,
delivered the same to zhe Archbishop, who put it on the
fourth linger of the . Queen's right hand, saying, " Receive
this ring, ' &c.

' THE SCEPTRES.

The Dean then brought from the altar the sceptre with
the cross and the sceptre with the dove, and delivered them to
the Archbishop.
In the meantime the Duke of Norfolk, as Lord of the
Manor of Worksop, left his scat, and, anroaching the Queen,
and, kneeling, presented to her Majesty a glove for her right
hand, embroidered with the arms of Howard, which hrr
Majesty put on.

iheArchbishop then delivered the Sceptre viith the Cross
into her Majesty's right hand, saying " Receive the Royal
Sceptro," &c. ; and then the Sceptre with the Dove into her
left hand, saying " Receive the Rod of Equity," &c. ; and
the Lord of the Manor of Worksop supported her Majesty's
right arm, and held the Sceptre.
THE CROWNING.

The Archbishop standing -before the altar, and having
St. I,Awind's Crown before him, took the same into his
hand;,,and consecrated and blessed it with the prayer " 0
God, who crownest thy faithful servants with mercy, &e."
Then the Archbishop came from the altar, assisted by
the Archbihops of York and Armagh, with the Bishops of
London, Winchester, and other Bishops, the Dean of West-
minster carr3ing the Crown ; and the Archbishop took
and placed it on her Majesty's head ; when the people,
with loud and repeated shouts, cried " God save the
Queen ;" and immediately the Peers and Peeresses present
put on their Coronets; the Bishvi their caps ; and the Kings
of Arms their crowns : the trumpets sounding, the drums
beating, and the Tower and Park guns firing by signal.
Never did we hear louder or more hearty plaudits, that al-
most rent the walls of the old Abbey, setting at nought all
et*ette and ceremony, than those which burst from the lips and
hearts of her attached and loyal people, when the Crown was
placed on the head of their young and lovely Sovereign.
The acclamations having ceased, the Archbishop pro-
nounced the exhortation, " Be strong, and of a good courage,"
&e. The choir then sang the following anthem, " The
Queen shall rejoice," &e.

THE SWORD.

The Viscount Melbourne, carrying the sword of State, now
delivered it to the Lord Chamberlain, and, in lieu thereof,
received from him another sword in a scabbard of purple
velvet (presented to him by an officer of the Jewel Office,
who took charge of the sword of State), which his Lordship
delivered to the Archbishop, who laid it on the altar, and
said the prayer, "Hear our prayers, 0 Lord, we beseech thee,
and so direct,and support thy servant, Queen Victoria," &c.
The Archbishop then took the sword from off the altar,
and assisted by the Archbishops of York and Armagh, with
the Bishops of London, Winchester, and other Bishops,
delivered the sword into the Queen's right hand, saying,
" Receive this kingly sword," &c.

On the 15th of August, 1274, Edward I. and

by the Archbishop of Canterbury, aided by

Holinshed adds some ' remarkable particu-
lars of this coronation : _

RICIIARD lIL

Richard 111. and his queen, Anne, daugh-
ter to the earl of Warwick, were crowned on
the sth of July, 1483, "with the selfe same
provision," says Grafton," that was appointed
for the oaronation of his nephew." The king'i
and queen received the sacrament from the=
hands of the cardinal archbishop of Canter-
bury, and one host, or consecrated wafer, was.
divided between them.

HENRY VII.
Henry VII. was crowned October 30th, I
1485, and his queen, Elizabeth, October 30t11,1
!1487. The latter was remarkable for the
!procession by water from the palace of Green-i
'wich to the Tower, instead of from West-4
minster, as was usual. The queen was
'escorted by the lord mayor, sheriffs, and the
heads of the different companies in their state
barges, richly ornamented with silken pennons
and streamers, and also with the banners of the
different trades, on which their arms were em-
broidered in gold. One of these barges, called
the bachelors' barge, contained an extraor-
dinary pageant, an enormous red dragon which
spouted streams of fire into the Thames. When
the queen rode through the city on the follow-
ing day, choirs of children dressed as angels
were stationed in different places, who sang
braes and songs as she passed by.
London, England, 1838-06-28

HENRY V.

Henry V. was crowned on the 9th of April,
1415. Katherine of France, the queen of
Henry V., was crowned on the 24th of Fe-
bruary, 1440; the account which. Holinshed
gives of the magnificence displayed upon this
occasion is far too characteristic of the age to
be omitted. " After the great Solemnization
of the foresaid coronation in the church of St.
Peter's, at Westminster, was ended, the queene
was conveied into the great. Hall of West-
minstei, and there set to dinner. Upon whose
right hand sat, at the end of the table; the
archbishop of Canterbury, and Henrie sur-
named the Rich, cardinall of Winchester.
Upon the left hand of the queene sat the king
of Scots in his estates. who Ira* served with
,I;lesbe, as Wv-ie the foresaid bishops,
but Yet after them. ' Upon the lefi hand, next
to the cupboord, sat the major and his bre-
thren, the aldermen of London. The bishops
egan the table, against the barons of, the
Cinque Pore ; and the ladies agaiast the
les►ior. These, Frith Mears, ordered tke aer-
vise ; and, for the first •ourse, brawne in mus-
tard, eeles in burneur, pike in herbage, fninsent,
with balien, lamprie powdered, trout, codling,
plaice fried, martine fried, crabs, leech lum-
bard flourished larks, and A devise sailed a
pellican, sitting on hir nest with hir birds, and
an image of St. Katharine holding a booke,
and disputing with doctors.

" The second course was, gellie colored
with columbine flowers, white pole ge or creams
of almonds, breame of the sea, conger, cheuen,
barbill and roeh, fresh salmon, halibut, gur-
nard, rochet broiled, smelts fried, CTCTiS or
lobster, leech-damaske, with the king's poesie
flourished thereon.

" The third course was, dates in compost,
creame motle, carpe deore, turbut, tench,
pearch with goion, fresh sturgion with welks,
porperous rosted, crevesse de eau doure, pranis,
eeles rosted with lamprie, a leech, called the
white leech, flourished with hawthorn leaves
and rad haves ; a marchpane garnished with
diverse figures of angels."

HICNRY VI.
I-Lnry VI. was crowned at Westminster,
Nov. 6th, 1429, being then only in the ninth
year of his age. The coronation feast was
celeFrated at Westminster with great splen-
dour. In -the first course, Fabian tells us,
there were, among other royal viands, " Bore
hedes in castellys of gold and enarmed," " Cus-
tard royall, with a lyopard of golde syttyng
therein, and holding a floure de lyce." The
pageant for this course was, " A sotyltie of
Seynt Edwarde and Seynt Lowys armed, and
upon eyther his cote armoure, holdyng atwene
them a figure lyke unto Kynge Henry, stand-
ynge also in his cote armoure, anc a scripture
passynge from them both, sayinge,----‘ Beholde
II perfyght kynges under one cote armoire.' "

;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 fi.-
wily hafc s,TV::rte" d tile crown.
London, England, 1838-06-28

RICHARD 11.

The coronation of this king was more mag-
nificent than any of the preceding. The

•
procession of the king from the Tower to West-
minster on the day preceding the coronation,
is thus described by Holinshed :—" The citie
was adorned in all sorts most richlie. The
water-conduits ran with wine for the space of
three hours together. In the upper end of
Cheape was a certain castell made with foure
towers ; out of the which castell, on two sides
of it, ran forth wine abundantly. In the
towers were placed foure beautifull virgins,
of stature and age like to the king, apparelled
in white vestures, in every tower one, the which
blew in the king's face, at his approaching
neere to them, leaves of gold; and as he ap-
proched also, they threw on him and his horsse
counterfeit florins of gold. When he was
come before the castell they tooke cups of
gold, and, filling them with wine at the spouts
of the castell, presented the same to the king
and to his nobles. On the top of the castell,
betwixt the foure towers, stood a golden an-
gell, holding a crowne in his hands, which
was so contrived, that when the king came
he bowed dowse, and offered to him the
crowne. In the midst of the king's pallace
was a marble pillar, raised hollow upon steps,
on the top whereof was a great gilt eagle
placed, under whose feet in the chapiter of
the pillar divers kinds of wine came gushing
forth at foure several places all the dale long,
neither was-anie forbidden to receive the same,
were he never so poor or abiest."
London, England, 1838-06-28

CHARLES I.

The coronation of Charles I. was delayed
until the sth of February, 1626, in conse-
quence of the plague, which then reigned in
London. The principal novelty was the intro-
duction of the followma clause in one of the
prayers " Let him obtain favour for thy
people, like Aaron in the tabernacle, Elisha
in the waters, Zacharias in the temple. Give
him Peter's key of discipline and Paul's doc-
trine."

In the year 1633 Charles I. went to be
crowned king of Scotland at Edinburgh. He
was received with great splendour, and seve-
ral pageants were prepared to honour his re-
ception. The most singular was a triumphal
arch, under which a mountain was raised in
the form of a theatre, upon which sat a nymph
representing the Genius of the city of Edin-
burgh. " Shee was attired in a sea-greene
velvet mantle ;' her sleeves and under roabe
of blew tissue, with blew buskins on her feete ;
about her necke shee wore a chaine of dia-
monds, the dressing of her head represented
a castle with turrets, her locks dangled upon
her shoulders." She was attended by Reli-
gion, " all in white taffeta, with a blew mantle
seeded with starres, and a crown of stones on
her head, to show from whence she is," lean-
ing upon a shield, and trampling beneath her
feet Superstition, represented as a blind old
woman, covered with rags. On the left hand
stood Justice, in " a red damaske mantle,"
trampling upon Oppression, represented as " a
person of fierce aspecte, in armes, but broken
all and scattered."
London, England, 1838-06-28

THE OATH.

The sermon being concluded (and her Majesty having, on
Monday, the 20th day of November, 1837, in the presence of
the two Houses of Parliament, made and signed the declara-
tion), the Archbishop of Canterbury, advanced towards the
Queen and standing before her, ministered the questions pre-
scribed by the service; which having been answered by her Ma-
jesty, she arose from her chair, and, attended by her supporters
and the Lord Great Chamberlain—the Sword of State alone
being borne before her Majesty—went to the altar, where,
kneeling upon the cushion placed on the steps, and laying
her right hand on the Holy Gospels, tendered to her Majesty
by the Archbishop, she took the Coronation Oath, kissed the
book, and to a transcript of the oath set her Royal sign ma-
nual, the Lord Chamberlain of the Household holding a silver
standish for that purpose, delivered to him by an officer of the
Jewel Office.
The Queen then returned to her chair, where her Majesty
had sat during the sermon, on the south side of the area, the
following hymn being sung by the Choir, the Archbishop
reading the first line, " Come, Holy Ghost, our souls in-
spire," &c.
London, England, 1838-06-28

GEORGE IV.

The coronation of George IV., which took
place on July 19, 1821, was the most splendid
ever celebrated in England.
A special act of parliament was passed to
enable the duke of Norfolk, who was a Roman
Catholic, to perform the functions of earl mar-
shal on the day of the coronation. He a.so, as
