VAVXIIALL. GARDENS.
GRAND CORONATION FETE.—The anniversary of his
Majesty's Coronation was last night celebrated with great mag-
nificence at this interesting place of amusement. Every thing
that could give effect to tlie scene was collected by the pro-
prietors, to whose management during the present season too
much praise cannot be given. In the Rotunda was a magni-
ficent bust of the King, surmoutetl by the royal arms. Several
other appropriate devtces were to be seen in various parts of the
gardens, and the flag of England waved triumphant amidst
those of other nations. There were fifteen thousand addi-
tional lamps. In the space before the new supper room, the
words 44 Coronation of our Royal Patron" appeared brilliantly
illuminated. The concert concluded with Handers magnifi-
cent Coronation Anthem. Collyer's Street Home, and Alias
Tunstall's Bread and Cheese and Kisses, were loudly encored.
—We should not forget our friend Mallinson, whose song of
the New Marriage ;ice was much applauded. The other
vocal performers were—Mrs. Goulden, Misses Melville and
Noel, and Master Broadhurst, who were much and deserv-
edly applauded. The inimitable performances of lllackmore
on the slack-rope,- which ,we .often have had occasion to men-.
Lion before, need hardly be noticed here. The fireworks were
of the most splendid description. In the second part the words
" IV. crowned July 19, 18242," were received with great
applause. The assemblage of spectators, which was numerous
and fashionable, would have been more so had it tint been for
the unfavourable appearance of the weather in the early part of
the day. Towards the close of the night, however, the pro-
menades were much crowded, and there could not have been
less than between 4,000 and 5,000 persons present. The per-
formances closed with " God save the King."

Tut LATE PIILTENtTHOTET..—Tbe long range of rooms
in the rear are all levelled with the earth ; the interior of the
front is also gone. It is not the intention of the present Noble'
proprietor to erect a very large mansion. The banqueting room
is to he the principal apartment, with drawing rooms above.
As to the ground in the rear, that is to be converted into a
grass plat, enclosed by high walls ; in fact, like the one at-
tached to the Marquis of Stafibrirs reside.nce in Cleveland-row.
Tito Marquis of Hertford gave, we hear, 14,0001. for the
premises.
Mannuozs ix Moir LIFE.—We are informed that to-
morrow morning Viscount Fitzwilliam, of Ireland, will lead to
the Hymeneal altar the Dowager Lady Ponsonby. mother of
the Countess Grey. His Lordship has attained his seventy-
fifth year, the Lady her seventieth. The ceremony, it is added,
will be performed at the Castle in Ireland.—lt is reported that
Lord Sidmouth will shortly lead to the hymeneal altar the
Hon. Mrs. Townahend, daughter of Lord Stowell.

SIR ABRAHAM BRADLEY KING, BART.-011
Friday last a dinner was given to this loyal and
spirited Gentleman, at the Piazza Coffee=house,
by some Members of the Leicestershire PITT
CLUB, to mark the high opinion which they en-
tertain of the steadiness of his principles, and of
his warm attachment to the Constitution in
Church and State, but more particularly to shew
how much they admired his honourable and
manly conduct during the period of his recent
examination before the House of Commons. As
Sir ABRAHAM KING may fairly be considered as
A CHAMPION in THE PROTESTANT CAUSE, the
Members of the Leicestershire PITT CLUB have
done honour to themselves as well as to him on
this occasion. We earnestly hope th:►t the PITT
CLUBS in general will manifest equal zeal in re-
sisting the efforts of those who would hazard the
existence of the British Constitution hi Church
and State, by endeavouring to effect what is ab-
surdly styled CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION.
WINDSOR, JULY W.—Yesterday the Duchess
of GLOUCESTER, accompanied by Lady MARY
TAYLOR and Lady ISABELLA THYNNE, took an
airing in her coach and four from l3agshot Park,

Royal Visitor partook of some, refreshment, and
afterwards returned to Bagshot to dinner.—This
morning the Rev. Mr. SUMNCR, as Chaplain to
his MAJESTY, performed Divine Service at the
Chapel Royal at Cumberland Lodge. A little
before three o'clock in the afternoon, his MA•
JESTY arrived at the Castle in his coach and four.
The KING staid some time inspecting the apart-
ments, and afterwards returned to the Lodge to

dinner.
This day being the Anniversary of the Coro-
nation of his MAJESTY, the Royal standard was
hoisted on the Castle, and a flag on Nelson's Mo•
nument, and at one o'clock salutes were fired

a division of the artillery fired several rounds in
