RAMSGATE, JULY' 21..

The Anniversary of the Coronation of his pre-
sent MAJESTY was celebrated on Monday with
every demonstration of loyalty and affection. A
dinner on a very large scale was given at the Al-
bion Hotel on the above occasion, with the joint
purpose of meeting and welcoming Sir lirm..cu it-
TIS on his return to this country. Nearly two
hundred sat down to an excellent dinner, over
which Sir THOMAS GREY presided. One of the
worthy Magistrates of the town, most feel-
ingly and eloquently prefaced the first toast of
" the King," and so entirely carried the senti-
ments of the-whole room, with him, that a more
spontaneous or unanimous burst of feeling was
scarcely ever witnessed than that which accom-
panied the health that followed.
The succeeding one of " the Duke of York
and the Army" also elicited a very just remark
from this able Chairman, who observed that his
Royal Highness's competency as Commander-in-
Chief, was the very efficient way in which he sent
our armies to the field as best attested by their
gallant exploits there.
Song_" Rritains strike home."
" Duke of Clarence and the Navy." •
50ng...." Our Count is our Ship."
" The whole of the Royal Family."
Glee—" Hail ! Star of Brunswick."
" Lord Liverpool, Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, and
the rest of his Majesty's Ministers." Glee.
" Lord Lieutenant of the County."
Song—" Men of Kent."

After which Sir Thomas rose to preface the
health of Sir William Curtis, .for whose unex-
pected and unavoidable absence he first apolo-
gized ; and, though the disappointment was felt
by all present, yet in the very able
manner the
Chairman pointed out the worthy Baronet's own
regret, (from whom he had received a letter
stating that his heart and best wishes were with
his townsmen, but circumstances he could not
foresee or overrule, had prevented the autici.
pated pleasure of meeting them), was unanimously
admitted as efficient cause of absence by all pre-
sent, and his health was most fervently and cor-
dially pledged ; immediately succeeding which,
the following air adapted from " Auld Lang
Syne," by Mr. Fnwcit Savill *, was sung by Mr.
loord, Organist of Margate :

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And brought not to our mind,
Can we the recollection blot
Of days o' lang syne.
Of days o' lang sync, my friends,
Of mild lang sync,
We tak the cup of friendship now,
To days o' lang syne.
Our auld acquaintance all will join
To pledge upon this day ;
His health shall float upon our wine,
His health we plant upon our vine,
Although he's far away.
Ms worth to us, long known my friends,
Is present in this hour ;
On every one lie has to come
May every blessing pour.
At hours like this let none repine,
As social feelings glow,
If mixing with the goblet wine,
They both shon'd overflow.
We wish him life, we wish him health,
And all wish this, I ken,
Though absent now, in future hours,
To greet him here again.
Which though a hasty production, (another hav-
ing been prepared by the same gentleman, sup-
posing the worthy Baronet would have been pre.
seat, and nut hearinc the tlitssprointmettt pill
vitW ,our of the dinner, the above was
