A RRIVA L.—The Rev. George Tolley, at the Green

The Dublin Evening Mail of Monday, with an
amusing exhibition of conscious importance, and of its superior sources
of official information, proclaims in its least modest manner, and in the
very largest letters--The postponement of the Coronation :—" It has just
been communicated to us (quoth our exclusive) on authority upon which
we can place implicit reliance, that the Coronation is to be put off—first
for ten days ; and this with a view to its further postponement. All the
London Journals of Saturday evening, Ministerial and Opposition, are
silent upon the subject; but from the quarter from whence:the information
has reached us, we are disposed to place confidence in the fact as stated."
After a good deal of ingenious adscription, anti of course, extremely
candid conjecture, both with respect to the motives and causes touching
the afore-avouched putting off of the pageant, our contemporary be-
comes silent with the joyful anticipation of the disappointment which
will be felt by the expectant Peers if the ceremony do not take place at
all—a contingency most comforting to the Mall, and coincident with its
belief and its hope.
The execution of Ann Wycherley, at Stafford, for
infanticide, was postponed to Saturday, the sth of May. After sen-
tence of death had been pronounced against her, it will be recollected
she said that she was pregnant, and a jury of matrons was forthwith im.
pannelled to ascertain the foct, who declared that she was " not quick."
This was a legal verdict ; but if they thereby meant to negative the plea
of pregnancy, they were mistaken, as a subsequent miscarriage has
Placed the question beyond all doubt. This occurrence must be attri-
buted to the mental agony of the poor creature, induced by the prospect
before her, and may possibly obtain for her a commutation of the sen-
tence; for, if she suffers, it will but excite public sympathy in her be-
half. Since the above was written, we learn that on Thursday last a re.
Prieve was received for Hannah Heath, convicted of the murder of the
murder of her grand-child, at Baddeley Green, but that Ann Wycher.
ley is left for execution on Saturday next.
PUBLIC MEETING—POST-OFFICE ABUSES.—
On Tuesday last, a public meeting was held in the Town-hall, Greenock,
in reference to the above subject. On motion of Baillie Muir, the
Provost was called to the Chair. After a few words from the Provost,
Mr. Wallace, the Hon. Member for Greenock, with whose untiring cx.
ergies on the Post-office abuses, the public are familiar, spoke at great
length on the question. A series of resolutions was then moved, by
Wrn. Macfie, Esq., seconded by J. Tier, Esq., Chairman of the Chamber
of Commerce, and subsequently carried nem con. by the meeting.
Thanks to Mr. Wallace, and to the Provost, baying been respectively
carried, the meeting separated.
Mr. William Turner paired off in favour of Mr.
Hume's motion, on the allowance to the Duke of Cumberland, with Mr
G'rimsditch.

ANTI-SLAVERY.-The announcement made by
The Seen on Wednesday. that Ministers, attentive to the voice of the
country, had withdrawn further opposition to the instant emancipation
of the negro apprentices, has, as might naturally have been expected,
given great and general satisfaction. The provinces, particularly, have
testified their joy in a manner which shows how deep is the interest
taken, how intense the sympathy felt, in the cause of suffering humanity.
Since the glad tidings were conveyed, scarcely has there been a single
Paper, published in any part of the country, that has not dwelt with
heartfelt satisfaction on the pleasing prospect we presented. It would
appear that never was the influence of The Sun more widely diffused, or
more genially and joyously felt, than on Wednesday., when it shone on
the sons of slavery, and gilded the hopes of the good and humane.

Tile Tower of London was opened yesterday for
the first time to the public, to view the armoury at one shilling each
person.
More than a year ago a bag of money, declared to
contain three thousand francs, was taken by an agent of the house of
Rothschild to the coach-office of M. Crottet, at Geneva, to be conveyed
to Paris. The bag was stolen ; Messrs. Rothschild made a demand upon
the coachmaster for upwards of seventeen thousand francs as the real
contents. This claim was resisted, on the ground of the declaration at
the time of delivery that the bag contained only three thousand francs,
which sum was tendered and refused. The question was on the point
of being brought before the tribunals, when, not many nights ago, about
ten o'clock at night, the door-bell of M. Crottet's house was rung with
great violence. The servant went to the door followed by her master,
and on the door-sill they found the lost money.bag, with the whole of
the seventeen thousand francs untouched.
