THE CORONATION.

(THIS DAY.)

This morning, as early as five o'clock, multitudes of
persons were flocking from all parts of the town towards
Westminster Abbey, and the galleries and seats along
Pall-mall, Cockspur-street, Charing-cross, and Parlia-
ment-street, were at that early hour crowded with comma
pang elegantly dressed, careless of the inauspicious appear.
ance of the morning. Shortly after five the day was
ushered in by the ringing of bells, and a Royal salute was
fired from St. James's Park. The galleries in the imme-
diate vicinity of the Abbey, viz. the Royal William, True
Blue, Crown Stand, Royal Stand, Royal Coronation
Gallery, Colley's Gallery, the Royal Adelaide, the Royal
Hanover, the Royal Standard, the Royal Brunswick, the
Central Pavilion, Ste were also filled with elegantly dressed
ladies, as well as were the windows and house-tops along
the line of procession, and from whence a bird's-eye view
could be had of the passing scene.
About six o'clock the following troops arrived in St.
James's Park:—The Ist Re4iment of Life Guards, the
Scotch Greys from Brighton, the Horse Guards (Blue),
the 9th Lancers, and the 7th Light Dragoons, each regi-
ment headed by their respective bands, in their state
clothing ; the three battalions of the Scotch Fusileer
Guards, and the 2d and Coldstream Regiments of Guards;
in fact, the whole of the Household troops were in attend.
ance. The Scotch Greys and the 7th Light Dragoons
were stationed in the Park, and the Life Guards and the
Royal Horse Guards (Blue) lined the streets through
which the Royal procession passed, and the Foot Guards
were stationed within the Abbey and without, as far as •
possible towards the Palace. In addition to which, the
whole of the metropolitan police force was stationed on
the pavement to assist in preserving proper order. Heavy
barriers were erected at the end of the Strand, at the
Haymarket, at the end of St. James's-street, facing the
Palace, at the end of Great George-street, Westminster,
and at the Surrey foot of Westminster-bridge, to prevent
any interruption among the carriages.
Shortly before six o'clock a vast number of men were
engaged in gravelling the road from the Palace to the Abbey.
The entrances to the Abbey were opened at four o'clock,
and at about half-past the distinguished personages who
were to take a part in the ceremony, as well as those of the
public who had obtained tickets, began to arrive at the
north door, and amongst others we noticed Mr. St. John
Long, and Mr. and Mrs. Ducrow, whose equipage excit.al
much notice. Several ladies in chairs and carriages be-
gan to arrive at the grand western entrance even at that
early hour, and the first party that came was that of Lord
Tenterden.

Last night a brigade of the Royal Horse Artillery ar-
rived in town from Woolwich, and bivouacked last night
in the enclosure of St. James's Park, opposite the Palace,
where they remained during the day.
A very large ring has been made in Hyde Park, in
which a very splendid display of fireworks will take place
this evening at eight o'clock.
About nine o'c!oek the weather presented a more pros-
perous appearance, and sun shone forth, affording the
prospect of a fine day for the celebration of the imposing
and solemn ceiemony. Among the troops stationed near
the Abbey was the Hon. Artillery Company. This Com-
pany, which we believe is the oldeet volunteer corps in
England, having been established by a charter granted
by Henry the Eighth, has always assigned to it what is •
termed by the corps, ° a post of honour" at all
Coronations ; it is a very distinguished corps, to which
some valuable privileges are attached, and of which the
King is generally Captain-General. A strong detachment
of the Grenadier Guards performed duty at St. James's
Palace, the band being in their state uniforms, and perform-
ing many lively airs ; the baud of the Second Life Guards
was stationed in the centre of Pall-mall, and that of the
Scotch
o fG arey fine's in
bodyl of Waterloo-place. The latter was com-
posed men, and were the subject of
general admiration.
At the Western entrance of the Abbey a very handsome
temporary entrance had been made, painted in the Gothic
style, the inside of which was lined with the yeomen of
the guard, heralds, and other officers. Upon the top of
the Abbey were artillerymen, whose duty it was to hoist
a signal upon the arrival of their Majesties, wbieh intel-
ligence was to be communicated by other artillerymen,
stationed on the different bridges, to the Tower, and the
signal to the outposts was to be conveyed by the Ad-
miralty telegraph, which was kept in readiness for that

purpose.
It was arranged that upon the arrival of the procession
at the western entrance of the Abbey, the Royal carriages
should proceed into Dean's-yard, under the direction of
Mr. Lee, the High Constable of Westminster, who, with
a strong force of constables, was stationed in that neigh-
bourhood to preserve order, and the troops forming the
escorts (Royal Horse Guards, and Royal Horse Guards, blue)
were to proceed round by Storey's-gate to the new Public
road in St. James's Park, and there await the conclusion
of the grand ceremony.
We cannot sufficiently commend the conduct of those
who bad the arrangement and management of the proceed-
ings which were effected in admirable order, and we did not
hear of a single accident.
At nine o'clock the Royal carriages, &c., that were to
form the procession, assembled, and wt,rit armor! in

order on Constitution-hill, from whence they proceeded
to St. James's Palace, and at a quarter past ten o'clock
their Majesties, and the test of the Royal corte pe, entered
theit carriages. The signal being made, the Park and
Tower guns fixed a Royal salute,
The route was by Pall-mall, Charirg crost4, Whitehall.
Parliament-street, to the west gate at Westminster Abbey.
This line of street was kept exclusively for the free pas.
sage of their Majesties, and of the several branches of the
Royal Pamily, from the hour of half-past eight, until after
their Majesties' return to St. James's.
Throughout the line of procession the cheers of the
assembled multitudes were deafening. The scene along
the whole of the line was of the most imposing d,scription
that can he int Tined. The Royal Party proceeded in the
following order :

tired from the Park and the Tower.
The attendants on their Majesties got into their carriages
at the archway leading from the Flag-yard. The State
Coach alone entered the yard.
The general direction of the procession was under the
orders of Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, Gentleman of the
Horse to his Majesty, assisted by the Officers of the Mas-
ter of the Horse's Department.

(rwurrita PARTICULARS.)
We understand that in addition to a splendid display of
fireworks, which will be exhibited in Hyde-Park, Mr.
Graham will ascend in his magnificent balloon, accom..
partied, if the weather permits, by Mrs. Graham. These
entertainments, which are understood to be at the especial
request of his Majesty, will, we fear, be prevented by the
inauspicious state of the weather.
At this moment (one o'clock) the firing of the _Artillery
in St. James's Park announces the important event of the
fulfilment of the compact between his Majesty and his
people, by the Crown being placed on his Majesty's head,
amidst the acclamations of the Nobles, and other distin-
guished personages of the realm, in the interior of the
Abbey.

THE THEATRES.
It having been announced that his Majesty had given
orders that all the Theatres at present open in the metro-
polis (including Vauxhall Gardens) should be opened to
the public gratis this evening, and which circumsLince
had been notified by the proprietors of each esta-
Nishment, vast crowds assembled at an early hour
round the doors of the respective Theatres, and of
Vauxhall Gardens to procure tickets. We are glad
to learn, that by the judicious arrangement of the various
managers there is no fear of any accident occurring by
their being overcrowded.
We could not help noticing the splendid preparations
which are making at the Ordnance-office, the principal
objects in which were a large Crown supported by two
Anchors, and surrounded by twelve stand of British
colours.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE GRAND ILLU,

MINATIONS TO-NIGHT.

The arrangements that have been made all over the
town in demonstration of the loyalty and affection of the
people towards their beloved Majesties by illuminating
their houses, exceeds any former occasion, and a strong
