CORONATION OF THE KIWIS OF FRANCE.

It is said that the Coronation of his present Majesty, King
Charles X, will take place, according to the old custom, ut
Rheims it is even said that'll!. Alasois, an architect, has
set out fur that town to make preparations for this august
ceremony. We are, therefore, disposed to think our readers
will not be displeased to see some account of what has before
taken place. On the appointed day the religious service
began at six o'clock in the morning ; a deputation, was then
sent to the King, composted of ecclesiastical and Lay Peers
in full costume, preceded by, all the canons of the Cathe-
dral, and accompanied by music. On arriving at the King's
apartment, which was shut, the chief singer knocked at
the door with his waft: The Grand Chamberlain, with-
out opening it, asked, " What do you want?" " The King."
—" The King sleeps." This demand wan repeated, and the
Chamberlain-did not open the door till the third time of ask-
ing. As soon as the doors were opened, the whole deputation
went in and bowed profoundly to his Majesty.. The King was
lying on a magnificent bed; he was C10:11ed in a long crimson
gown, embroidered with gold lace, and opened, as well us the
Shirt, at the place where the King was to receive the anoint-
ment. Over the gown the King wore a long robe ofsilver cloth,
and on his hc:ad.a black velvet toque, ornamented with a band
of diamonds, a bunch of feathers, and double white aigrette.
After an oration delivered by the Bishop of Laon, two Pre-
hues lifted the King up from his bed, and conducted him in
procession to 'the Church. This part of the ceremony was in
tendeded to chew that the King was not recognized as King
till the day of Itis Coronation. Before that said the old Chro-
nicles—The King slept.
As soon as his Majesty reached the church, he was con-
ducted to a seat placed under a canopy in the middle of
the chair. There the Bishop of Laon presented him with the
oath of the kingdom, which the King pronounced with his
hands on the Evangelists. He swore to do jtistice, and to
maintain the fundamental laws of the kingdom. Immediately
afterwards the Archbishop of Rheims blessed the royal orna.
tricots with which his Majesty was to be clothed, when the
holy cream, mixed with a portion of the salute anipoule, was
prepared. The King threw himself on a large square bank of
violet velvet, ornamented with years de /yr in gold. Very long
Litanies were then read, after which the Archbishop, seated on
his chair, anointed the King, who continued kneeling, seven
timea,—ht, on the top of the head ; 2.1, on the brealit ; 3d, be-
tween the two shoulders; 9th, on the right shoulder; sth, on
the left shoulder ; tith, on the bends and joints of the left arm ;
and 7th, on the binds and joints of the right arm. The anoint-
ment: completed, the Prelate closed up the open places in the
King's shirt with gold lace ; the Grand Chamberlain clothed
his Majesty with the tunic, the dalinatick and the royal cloak.
—These liarment4 were made of violet coloured velvet, orna-
merited withpurs de lAis, embroidered in gold, and represented
the three dresses of a stab-deacon, a deacon, and a priest. After
the benediction of the gloves, (if the royal ring, and of the
sceptre, the Chancellor of France called nit the Peers, who hasti-
ly advanced. Immediately the Archbishop took the crown of
Charlemagne, placed it on the altar—all the Peers stretched
their hands out to it to assist him in supporting it, and the
Prelate then placed it on the head of the Monarch.
..The ceremony of enthroning was not less imposing. The
Xing was hardly placed on his throne, when all the people were
allowed to enter the church; a Te Deum was immediately be-
gun, all the bells of the town were rung, and the firings of can-
non proclaimed Star the great event.—( Conatitationnd.)

We understand that Expresses have arrived
this day from Paris, bringing the French.Rentes
on Thursday, 10'2f. 60e.

A Flanders Mail arrived this morning, bringing
the Austrian Obserr•ver to the Igth,Frankfort Jour-
nals to the 2 ith, and Bru4sels Papers to the 26th of
this month. They do not contain any intelli-
gence of political importance. The Queen of
BAVAR/A is perfectly recovered from her late se-
vere illness, and the nuptials of the Princess of
BAVARIA with the Austrian Archduke FRANCIS
CHARLES will be solemnized at Vienna the be-
ginning of next month. The Prince and Princess
of ORANGE were expected at Gatschina on the
12th instant, on a visit to the Empress Dowager
of RusstA.

We have also received Dutch Papers► to the

importance, and lends to the hope that the
Powers of Christendom will at length interfere
in the pacification of the East, and prevent fur-
ther bloodshed, now that the result of the pre-

impossibility of Greece being again subjected by

atlirmed in a let-
ter from liPD:ritiGs'that Count Pozzi di Borgo has
presented a very important Memoir to the French
Government, the-object of which is to induce it
to unite, ou the principles recommended in the
Memoir, with the other Great Powers, in the re-
storation of peace hi the East. Nothing has
transpired of the Loan proposed in this paper,

also to the Courts of Berlin, London, and

Hardly a day passes in which we do not hear
of some trespass on the rights of justice und hu-
manity by the infatuated Monarch of Spain.—
nil new decree, dooming to death all who since
October 1, 18%3, have bhewn, by any act or de-
claration, that they are enemies of the legitimate
rights of the throne, or partizans of the Consti.
tution of Cadiz. This decree, which Is held
forth as an act of " clemency and benevolence
of heart," includes among its intended victims,
persons of every rank, class, and distinction—
exposing all who are objects of hatred to the
Ministers or Priesthood to Royal vengeance.
—Every act of this silly Monarch proves him
totally unworthy of a throne, and forcibly
indicates that, when the French protection is
withdrawn, the indignation of the People at
large will triumph over the vassals of th
Court and hurl him to destruction. What a
contrast in the conduct of FunnttiANn, when he
sneakingly addressed BUONAPMTE, humbly re.
requesting to be honoured with admission into his
family by an alliance with one of his relations,
and the sanguinary arrogance by which he seems
now disposed to murder by wholesale his sub.
ntissive subjects!

It is stated with increased confidence that the
reports of Colllllel CAMPBELL on the state of Co-
lombia are of the most favourable kind, and cal-
culated to remove any doubts which may have
been entertained of the stability and resources of
that Republic:

TRIAL OF HENRY FAUNTLEROY.

OLD 13AILEY.—(Tuts DAy.)

The Court was opened at nine o'clock this
morning, at which time Mr. Au knryr took his seat
on the Bench ; Mr. Alderman W000,.1. J. Shinn,
Sir Jon): PETUIING, the Governor and Deputy
Governor of the Bank of Eugland, Mr. iluNtc, the
Executor of the Bellis family, and a long list of
Noblemen and Gentlemen were present. The
galleries wore by no means so thronged as might
have been expected. At five minutes after nine
o'clock the prisoners were arraigned.; the object
towards which attention was more particularly
drawn was not amongst them, namely Hems
Fauntleroy. Up to ten o'clock the galleries hod
not to boast of any material accession of visitors,
and this may be easily accounted for by the
heavy sum charged for admission. Nothing less
than a sovereign would be listened to for admis-
sion to the galleries, and higher sums were ob-
tained in many instances. Lord Temple and
Lord Dynevor took their stations on the left-
hand side of the Court, behind the box usually
occupied by the Governor of the Jail. The in-
termediate time of the Court up to 10 o'clock
was occupied in the trial of prisoners whose cases
did not excite the slightest interest, during which
two porters were employed in bringing loads of
books into Court. At live minutes past ten the
JUDGES took their seats on the Bench, and the
prisoner was placed at the Bar : he was genteelly
dressed in black.

Mr. CLARK read over the first indictment,
which charged the prisoner with having forged
and uttered as true, a forged document, with in-
tent to defraud Frances Young. En another
count the charge was made for defrauding the
Bank of England. Mr. Clark having. gone
through. the numerous counts in the indictment,
the prisoner pleaded Not Guilty.
Mr. CLARK thee read over the second indict-
ment, charging him with uttering a forged docu-
ment relative to Bank Annuities. The counts
in this case ran the same as the previous oue.

The third indictment charged the prisoner with
forging a certain deed, with intent to defraud T.
Lester, on the Governor and Company of the
Bank of England.

The prisoner requested to be indulged with a
chair, which was allowed.
Mr. CLARK then read over the fifth indictment,
which charged the defendant with forging a cer-
tain transfer of stock for 3,0001. with intent to
defraud Thomas Lester, or the Governor and
Company of the Bank of England.
The sixth indictment charged the prisoner with
forging a certain transfer, with intent to defraud
John Griffith and others.

The seventh indictment charged the prisoner
with forging a certain deed, with Intent to de-
fraud J. Griffith.

The eighth Indictment charged the prisoner
with uttering a forged deed, with Intent to de.
fraud John Goodchild and others, or the Com-
pany of the Bank of England ; and also with
forging a certain warrant of attorney, with intent
to defraud the said parties.

pleaded Nut Guilty to each of
therrilliPerti:ne Indictments.

Mr. Justice PARK said, th© prisoner cams
within the jurisdiction of the City of London, and
the Jury (a Middlesex one) must leave the box.
The Jury quitted the box with great reluct-
ance, and a London Jury was then sworn in.

,prisoner did ;sot challenge ally cue of the

Jury.

Mr. Justice PARK now ordered the passages of
the Court to he cleared, to give free egress and
ingress to the witnesses.

The prisoner wits now put on his trial on the
first indictment, charging him with forging and
uttering the name of Frances Young, to a certain.
Deed or Warrant of Attorney for the transfer of
Stock.

Mr. LAW opened the case for the prosecution.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case to
the Jury, in doing which he stutliou,ly abstained
from saying' more than giving a plain statement
of the facts. It appeared that the prisoner)
in order to keep up the credit of the house, had
sold out money to the amount of 170,0001., and
had forged Warrants of Attorney for that pur-
pose.. It might appear strange that the fraud was
not discovered before, hut that was explained by
the fact of the prisoner's having the sole command
of the business. Mr. Marsh, the principal part-
ner, had nothing more to do with the banking-
house than receiving the dividend warrants from
the Bank, which he handed over to the prisoner,
who kept a private account, and consequently
every opportunity was afforded him to carry ou
the fraud.

James Tyson—l was a cleric in the house
of Marsh and Co. at the time of the failure,

and for seventeen years previously. —ln
1815 the names of the partners were (Taffies
Marsh, Henry Sibbald, George H. Graham, and
two others. The prisoner came into the hodse
in the early part of the year. He was the act-
ling partueg tin' the firm. Mr. 'Marsh lived In
Kent ; Sir James Sibbald lived in the country.
A lady named Frances Young had dealings With
the house. The power ,of attorney for 50001;
was here handed to the witness; the narne.Jlnwe
Tyson was not liii hand-writing. I never sal
the lady. None of the signatures 'were genuine;
they were all in the hand-writing of the pri-
solli2r. There never was any other clerk in the
house of the name of James Tyson. The seis-
ing on the back ache warrant was also a forgery.

HIS MAJESTY'S PonTnAIT•--At the Dublin Catholic As-

with 'acclamation :—" That the Catholic Association, anxious
to testify their sincere attachment to the glorious Constitution,
founded and supported by our Catholic ancestors, and at the
same time to testify our unqualified loyalty to our Meg Gra•
cious Sovereign, George the Fourth, who was the first Monarch
to declare that the Crown was held in trust for the benefit of
the people, order that a Portrait of his Majesty, richly framed,
and surmounted by the Crown, be placed over the Chair, in the
room appropriated to its meetings."

OCT, 20..--At present we have no news at' the
Pavilion, but notwithstanding., We have strong reasons to con-
dude that his Majesty purposes again to honour and enliven

EDINBURGH IVIUSICAL FESTIVAL.

This splendid exhibition of' Musical Science, which has for
so long a period occupied general attention, has at length com-
menced. 'file influx of fashionables was not considerable till'
Saturday, when travelling carriages began to arrive in great,
number.- During the whole of last week, however, many dis-
tinguished strangers were observed in town ; and the hotels
and lodging-houses had all been previously engaged. The pre.
paratory arrangements in the Parliament House, where the
morning concerts are to be held, have already been briefly no.
ticed. In addition we may state that the orchestra has been
raised at the north end, and the organ, for which the public are
indebted to the liberality of Bishop Gameron, is placed in the
extreme distance; but the long movement which has been ad.
ded by Mr. Bruce of the house of Muir Wood, and Co. will
permit the conductor, Sir George Smart, to sit Immediately in
front of the band. Mr. Wiles, of London, has superintended
the erection of the orchestra, which has been arranged with
great taste, in perfect accordance with the general features of
the hall, and will fully accommodate the whole of the per.
formers. It is calculated that 1,630 persons may be comfort.
ably seated in the body of the hall, and the greatest care is to
be taken that no more than that number be admitted. Every
necessary arrangement bus also been made to prevent confulion
In the arrival and departure of the company ; and the Direc-
tors and Stewards, at the sacrifice of much of their own per.
sonal convenience, have determined to superintend the arrange-
ment themselves, so that if the plans proposed are adhered to,
and we trust they will be most scrupulously, we shall have
little of that unseemly crushing and crowding which distin-
guished former Feitivalm..Yesterday the Blind in the Asylum,
Nicolson's-street, were
present at the general Rehearsal, by per-
mission of the Directors.

The musical strength brought forward, is composed of eleven
principal vocal performers—twenty-one violins—six violas—
five violoncellos—four double basses—two g
"te'l—two haut-
boys-4w° clarionets—two bassoons—four horns—three trum-
pets—three tromboons and double drums. The chorus con-
sisted of nineteen cantos or trebles, of which fifteen are women,
with four boys, selected from the choir of the York Cathedral
—fifteen altos or counter tenors—nineteen tenors, and nineteen
basses.

MONDAY'S PE nr on II AI; C E.-Th e Festival commenced
last night in the Theatre, (the gratuitous use of which the
public owe to Mrs. Siddons and Mr. Murray,) with a concert
of vocal and instrumental music. The company began to
arrive at an early hour, and long before the performance
commenced the line or carriages extended from the Theatre
to South St. David's-street. In consequence of the unavoida-
ble delay' thus occasioned, many fashionable parties on enter-
ing, found all the best seats occupied. We were highly grati-
fied indeed to see the house crowded in all parts, and conceive
this circumstance sufficiently indicative of die eventual success
of the undertaking. The internal arrangements of the Theatre
have been conducted with great taste. The whole of the stage
has been elegantly fitted up as an orchestra, enclosed at the
back, and coveredhy a temporary ceiling, constructed imme-
diately under the scene machinery, for the purpose of more ef-
fectually throwing forward the mound to the audience. The
front seats of the pit are railed off, and exclusively devoted to
the accommodation of the Directors, whose meritorious exer-
tions cannot be too highly applauded.
The performance opened with llaydn's eighth symphony,
which has been published and performed in so many shapes as
to be intimately known to all professors. We were particularly
struck by the commencement of the adagio movement. A glee
by Webbe followed; which introduced, we believe, for the first
time in Edinburgh, Miss Travis, • Mr. Terrail, Mr. Vaughan,
and Mr. Phillips, and our old. favourite, Mr. Bellamy. 'We
particularly remarked their distinctness of articulation
throughout, which, even in the fugue passages, rendered all re-
ference to the programme of the performance unnecessary. The
last six lines, beginning with " Now, say what joy," were ac.
companied by the orchestra 011 their repetition, and had a most
striking effect : And the last line, '" To Him whose power un-
bounded rules the main,' in particular was sung to a succession
of the richest and most delightful chords, each being sustained
and modulated lam that which succeeded, with the happiest
effect. Mr. Braham was rapturously received, and sung the
recitative air, composed for the occasion by. Terrari, in hii
best manner. Madame and Signor De Begnis next appeared
in a duett, by Generali. Our expectation had been raised to
the highest pitch, by previous report, of the talents of
this lady, and we' were not. disappointed. Her voice is
particularly sweet and clear, and her execution of the very
first order. In the higher notes of almost all other singers
there is a something which indicates that beyond that point it
would be hazardous to adventure. But the voice of Aladaine
de Ilegnis possesses the rare quality of being fullest and richest
in pits very highest tones. Whatever difference of opinion may

have hitherto existed as to the propriety of engaging this lady
to take the 'first parts, we are most fully convinced not one
person present regretted the absence either of Catalani or Sal-
mon. In fact, we conceivethis lady combines, in a very con-
siderable degree, the best qualities of both. Signor de liegnis
had only sung a very few lines when he,establislied himself in
the graces of the audience. He is a perfect laughing philoso-
pher. In the trios, and in what may be called the bye-play, of
the scene, he performed in a manner which indicated the greatest
power as a Buffo. performer. His expression of the words,
Bella, Bella !" -in thuconclusion of the duet, " La Pietra,"
were quite irrestible. Lindley, an old, and deservedly a great
favourite with the Edinburgh audience, with his son, perform-
ed a concertante for two violoncello% in a style beyond all
praise. The deep attention of the audience, interrupted occa-
sionally by bursts of applause, proclaimed the effect produced
by this extraordinary performance. Of the merits of the elder
Lindley, it is quite needless now to speak, as he has been for a
period of twenty years avowedly the first violoncello performer in
the world. When we say that his son gives promise of equal
excellence, we feel that we say too little. We'are quite sure the
general. opinion of the audience was, that he has -almoit
already attained it. If the tone! of the father possesses a
degree of uniformity and !softness, which can be pro-
duced by no, other player, that of the son had all the
freedom of youth, and that peculiar oboe tone in which the
perfection of violoncello playing consists. Both together pro-
duced a duett, which must be heard to be conceived. There
were two or three ascending passages on harmonics, embraCing
the extreniest compass of the instrument, which engrossed the
full effect of the musical glasses, and literally electrified the
audience. Miss Stephens sung with her usual delicacy and
pathos, and was deservedly encored. •
The second part was introduced by the overture to Der Frey-
schutz. It is a great work of a great master, and retninded us
of the best compositions of Beethoven. It has all the vague,
terrible, and mysterious sublimity of the German school. Mr.
Braham sung, " The winter it is past," and afforded another
example of how much can be made of an ordinary air, and rather
common-place words in the mouth of a master. The words
" But my true love is parted from me," were given with pecu-
liar pathos and sweetness. We were very. much struck with a
very beautiful illustration of the effect imitative music in Mr.
Braliam's Manner of singing the three lines beginning, " My
love is like the sun," when contrasted with " But he is
unlike the moon." .The first were given with the fiery
ardour of intense affection, and the latter with something
like the cold softness of moonlight. The song was encored.—
Nicolson performed a fantasia on the flute. He intro-
duced " The last rose of slimmer," and played the air in
the most delicate and pathetic style that the imagination can
fancy. In a Cadence at the conclusion of the second part, he
seemed to infuse his own original conceptions into the instru-
ment, and they seemed to wander together into the land of
fairy, carrying the audience along with them. We could al-
most assent to the remark' which we overheard, that thy flute
and the man bad gone mad together ! Miss Goodall was
much applauded in " Bid me Discourse;"--she is a pretty
singer, very interesting in her appearance, and bids fair to be a
great favourite. Miss Stephens sung her fovourite air " Do-
nald" in her very best manner, and the performance concluded
with the finale to the opera of La Clemenza di Tito. We ob-
served several performers of eminence in the orchestra, parti-
cularly our favourite Dragoitetti, who had no prominent part
in the evening's arrangements, but whom we shall have an
opportunity of mentioning in our notice of the remaining per-
formances.•

The appearance of the audience was most brilliant and im-
posing. The crowding of elegance, fashion, and beauty into all
parts, without distinction, had a singularly novel and Interest-
mg effect. The boxes formed a perfect galaxy of lustre. The
pit waved with plumes, and sparkled with the bright eyes of the
gay and beautiful. Scarlet and embroidery glittered ernm the
pileries. Certainly never were the mansions of the gods pen.
pled with a race of divinities half so enchanting. Wherever
the eye of the spectator fell, all was jocund life, and eager,
elegant expectation. It was a sight to make us pleased
with ourselves and with human nature. It was a spectacle,
too, exhibited with singular effect by our own delightful
little Theatre. It put one in mind of the doings of the
last age, when poor Delaval and his band of wits passed
through the mimic scene, and prince and noble were jumbled
in radical confusion, with no regard to place or rank, to do
honour to the spirit of the age. The complete and anxious
arrangements of the Directors prevented any confusion or much
inconvenience fvom the press. Every one took his place, while
places remained, with regularity and comfort. Certainly, the
highest anticipations of a inimical banquet were realized to the
very full. There were no glaring alterations 'of light and
shade—no dashing of sweetness and insipidity—no economical
thrusting forth orlittle men into the places of professors of the
art. We hardly admired the greatness more than the unity and
harmony of the effect. Every singer seemed so fitly put into
place—every note was not only so good in itself, but so perfectly
and beautifully in
desire.
