THE CORONATION.

This. morning the proprietors of the Royal Gardens,
Vauxhall, received especial orders to throw open the
Gardens to the public to-morrow evening. The nine
Theatres now open, 1,12-the English Opera-house, the
Haymarket, Astley's, Surrey, Coburg, Milton-street,
Queen's Theatre, Sadlers' Wells, and the Pavilion in
Whitechapel-road, will also be free to the public on the
grand occasion. Tickets will be issued in the morning to a;i
many persons as will .1.1 each house without incionvi&e.

CORONATION Al tANGEMENTS.—We have
authority for stttc_ok that no carriages will be permitted to
pass thro'agh the barrier in the Haymarket, except those
bAonging to persons who have tickets for the Abbey, and
after they have passed the barrier, they will not be allowed
to quit the line of carriages; and it is particularly desired
that all persons who have tickets for the north door of the
Abbey will order their coathmen to move away as expe-
flitiott.ly as possible after setting down. An alteration has
been mad • in Route No. T. :—The carriages of persons
who have tickets for the west door are now to turh to the
left down the right hand side of Tothill.street, and enter
the Park at the Queen-square 'Gate.

There will be a Cabinet Council this evening
at the Foreign-office.

The MagistrateJ73 of Edinburgh have recom-
mended a geural illumination of that city on the evening
of Thursday next, in honour of their MAJESTIES' Coronation.

In the programme of the Procession and Ce-
remonies of tile Coronation, no mention is made of the
Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA.

The Coronation Dress of her Grace the
Duchess of ST. ALISAN'S is the general topic of the
fashionables at the West End. We are assured the style
is rich and elegant, as the whole of the embroidery is in
real gold.
A notice from the LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S
Office arrived at the Adelphi, yesterday afternoon, stating
that his MAJE3TY had desired the theatre to be open to-
morrow evening, for the admission of the public gratis.
As usual upon such occasions, a certain number of tickets,
or as many as the house is calculated to hold, will be issued
at the Box-office.

To ARTISTS, ARCHITECTS, AND DRAFTS-
MEN.-Since the death of Mr. LANGDON, the late sur-
viving partner of Messrs. BROOKMAN and LANGDON, the
utmost attention has been given to the manufacture of
Drawing Pencils in Cedar, by S. MoenAst and Co.,
who pledge themselves to supply nothing but pure Cum-
berland lead, thereby removing those objections and an-
noyances so frequently complained of in drawing pencils.
All who wish to be satisfied as to the genuineness of these
Pencils, may see them manufactured at No. 22, Castle-
street, Finsbury, which establishment now has the ho-
nour exclusively to supply all the Government Offices.—
Sold retail, by all respectable stationers, &c. throughout
the United Kingdom.—S. MoanAN and Co's. name is
on each pencil.

The following striking instance of the innate
modesty which ever attends true genius we take ftom Dr.
13aEw5TER's lately published life of Sir ISAAC NEWTON :
`• I do not know," said that great man a short time berore
i!is death, " what I may appear to the world ; but to myself
I appear to have been only a boy playing on the sea-shore,
and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother
pebble, or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great
ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."

The New Monthly Magazine for the present
month contains several papers of a much more imposing
character than those which have usually appeared in that
favourite miscellany. We allude to the articles entitled
" The Month in Parliament," " Toe Irish Yeomanry,
the Irish Members," " Foreign Policy," and " The French
Ministry." Besides these masterly papers there will be
round, however, a plentiful supply of lighter entertain-
ment, particularly in the satirical paper called " A New
Batch of Uneducated Poets," where the sly humour and
neat turns of a celebrated writer are readily descernible,
and also in the sketch called " Gossipings, Gay and Grave,
by a retired Londonet," in which some of the most emi-
nent wits and convivialists of the past generation are
brought under review in all their pristine radiance and
gaiety.
CRIM. CON.—In the Insolvent Debtors'
Court, ARTHUR HENRY HENN, hatter, against whom
damages were given for holding criminal conversation with
the wife of THOMAS WINTER SPRING, the pugilist, was
sentenced to eight months' imprisonment for the damages
and costs in the action. The insolvent had made over his
property to his attorney, but in consequence of the threats
held out by the Court, it was stated yesterday that 6.1.
would he paid into Court for the general benefit of the cre-
ditors, being the amount of the value of the property.

Yesterday, about four o'clock in the morning,
a man on board the Minerva collier, of Seaton Sluice,
now discharging her cargo at the Tower, was suddenly
attacked with a dreadful pain in his stomach, accompanied
by violent sickness. Medical assistance was called, but it
was of no avail, and he died at nine o'clock in the most
excruciating agony. He was a fine athletic man, middle-
aged. Two hours after his death his body became so offen-
sive that it was impossible to keep it on board. The
doctor properly attributes his death to cramp in tl:e
stomach ; but some groundless alarm is felt in the neigh-
bourhood, from the nation becoming prevalent that the
deceased had been attacked by the cholera.

GAME.—The Ist of September proved a
thorough wet day, therefore but little was done in bringing
the birds down. Some of the best shots in the county say
the birds are plentiful, yet very shy, and remarkably strong
on the wing.—County Press.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN THE HIGHLANDS.
rdlonlass-house, near Craindow, Argyieshire, the
splendid seat of Mr. CALENDAR, of Craigforth, was on
Wednesday last burned to the ground, along with the most
of the furniture that was in the house; the library, how-
ever, is said to be all saved.

Two boys, whilst bathing in Gweek river,
near Helston, yesterday se'nnight, saw a very large fish
on shore, but nearly covered with water ; they immedi-
ately procured large sticks from an adjacent wood, with
which they beat the monster about the head, whilst it
made vigourous efforts to escape, until it was so far sub-
dued as to enable one of them to cut its throat with a pen-
knife. The fish bled to death by Monday morning, and
it was then brought to Helston, where it has been ex-
hibited. It proved to be a dolphin, measuring seven feet
four inches in length, three feet four inches in girth, and
weighing about two cwt.—Exeter Alfred.
CHOLERA Moir us.—ln the French Cham-
bers, part of the debate turned upon cholera, and the Mi-
nister of Commerce made the following statement :
" The cholera ravages the east of Europe. It has spread
over Wallachia, Poland, Russia,'Austria, Hungary. Even
the centre of Germany is threatened. Almost all the
European nations have had recourse to serious measures of
precaution : sanatory commissions, cordons of troops, la-
zarettos, have been established. The manners of Russia
oppose the execution of similar measures, and Russia has
most severely suffered. Wallachia, in which no precau-
tions have been taken, has been ravaged. Prussia, on the
contrary, in which the soil has been defended foot by foot,
has been saved from these frightful misfortunes. Venice,
Tyrol, Saxony, have adopted vigorous measures. Austria
took its precautions too late, and the cholera is there-
fore at the gates of Vienna. I have said that Ger-
many is threatened. The fairs, which assemble so great a
number of individuals on one spot, have been the great
sources of danger. We have been for a long time engaged
in endeavouring to save France from this scourge. Sana-
tory commissions have been sent into the infected countries
to examine the nature of the malady; similar committees
have been formed in Paris. A scientific controversy exists
as to the nature of the disease, and it is maintained by some
not to be contagious. Science performs its part in such
discussions; its business is to discover the truth. Govern-
, tnent also does its duty in leaving nothing to chance, and

, of dinar}' vote of credit of a million francs (40,0001.) to meet
l the expeme of the sanatory measures which he proposed.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1831.

The Bill for the Regeneration of the British
Constitution, after having lingered upwards of
eight weeks in the House of Commons, passed
through Committee last night,when clause sixty was
disposed of amidst the enthusiastic acclamations
of the Reformers, and the desponding groans of
the Ultras, among whom Colonel SIBTHOPPE
peculiarly distinguished himself by a speech of
more than average absurdity. The gallant Co-
lonel was in fact quite pathetic on the occasion,
and in the words—generally, though falsely, we
believe, attributed to Mr. PlTT—prayed GOD
to defend the country, and endow it with all due
respect for the Aristocracy. The House, of
course, was in convulsions at this strange sup-
plication, and the Gallant Colonel in an agony of
wrath and perspiration. If we mistake not, this
will be the last Session in which he will be
called on to exhibit his eloquence. The House
adjourned at two o'clock.

The Duke of SUSSEX presented an important
petition last night in the House of Lords from
the Grand Jurors of Middlesex relative to capital
punishments, in which the petitioners prayed that
their Lordships would take under their considera-
tion the present state of the criminal law of this
country, with a view to its revision and amend-
ment, and disconnect the punishment of death
from crimes affecting merely the rights of property,
but unaccompanied with violence and bloodshed.
His Royal Highness supported the prayer of the
petition with much ability, and said he was not
prepared to decide that the punishment of death
shOuld be wholly done away with, but yet, when
he saw the state of the law on the subject, and
that there were one hundred and sixty Acts of
Parliament demanding such a punishment, he
could not help being astonished. • In some cases
the penalty of death might be necessary, but, at
the same time, he could not help concluding
that the certainty of punishment would be
much more efficient than its severity, and
that in many cases imprisonment might be
substituted with advantage for death, and
then some means might be adopted for the
reformation of the criminal. The LORD CH AN-
CELLOR, to a certain extent, expressed himself
in favour of a revision of the Criminal Code,
though the question was a difficult one, and
ought not to be approached without great
caution. There cannot be the shadow of a
doubt that the Criminal Code, as it at present
exists, affords abundant room for improvement.
It is, generally speaking, infinitely too severe,
and does not proportion the punishment to the
crime. Occasionally (though this is by no means
a frequent defect) it is too lenient ; taken there-
fore as a whole, it requires, no doubt, strict
revision, and we hope the LORD CHANCELLOR
will take it under his care.
