CORONATION FESTIVITIES.
Belyen smiled upon us this day, though each day precoding
it had rain and gloomy weather. Party politics were forgotten,
wad all diffTence of creeds.—all business was susrended ; and
at an early hour the fronts of the houses were dressed with
evergreens and flowers—the streets hung with flags and ban-
ners. The vessels of the R. Y. S. were decorated with
colours, as were the foreign ships in the Roads. Two thou-
sand persons were supp:ied with beef, bread, and strong ale.
At noon salutes were fired afloat and on shore ; at three
o'clock the children of the different Sunday schools walked in
procession through the town, led by the brass and cl,.rionet
binds; in the first line were tho ministers of the different
churches and chapels, follotve'l by 800 children, 100 of whom
bore garlands and silk banners, with numerous appropriate in-.
scriptions, the whole of whom took tea and plum cake in a
field fitted up for the occasion. The tradesmen dined together
at the diff,rent inns, and in the evening there was a general
muster of all that was pretty at the ball at the TQWD-hall ;
the hall was lighted with variegated lamps, forminl, a star in
the center of the letters V. IL, covering the whole south
front. The Squadron-house was lighted up n a similar man-
ner, and had a very pretty appearance from the Parade and
the sea, as had the fire-worits let 1.;1"1- during- the evening.
Such a day of general rejoicing 1zP,,3 not been known in this
little town for many, many ye..ar-, All were anxious to show
their good wishes to our young Queen ; every tongue cried—
,' Long and happy may she reign."
