HIS MAJESTY'S CORONATION FLEET.

No establishment has of late done more to increase the taste
for nautical displays titan The Coronation Fleet. This is, we
I believe, the tirst'yeer of its formation; and it has already be.
,• stowed three silver cups and covers on the successful candidates
at as many different sailing matches. This Club has now as.
slimed an appearance of stability which we sincerely hope will
prove lasting. Its Commodore has received permission to wear
a peculiar set of flags, and moreover has been complimented
for his indefatigable exertions by many of our Naval Officers
high in command and responsibility.- We are desirous to no-
tice the Ann establishment of such a Society, from the tendency
it has to increase loyal feeling, and the best of all sentiments—
& love for, our grand national bulwarks, the British Navy.
The Members of this Society now amount to about one bun.
dred and forty, and among them are enrolled many Gentlemen
of high tank and consideration. •
On Tuesday evening the Commodore, Edward Nettlefold,
Esq. was presented with a very-elegint gold medal, which had
been voted to him in a handsome Resolution, for his services in
founding the Society, and the unceasing zesl with which he had
forwarded its interests: The national arms were engraved on
one side, and an appropriate inscription on the other.
The season has, generally speaking, been unfavourable for
water excursions, and yet the matches, sailed and pulled have
been infinitely more numerous and better contested than on
•
most former occasions. Yesterday was fixed for the last ex-
cursion which the Members of -this Society 'and their friends
were to make down the Riyerdttringthepresent season, and Sir
E. Banks and Mr. Jolla:, with their- usual kindness, tendered
the Earl of Liverpool steam-packet, Which was, of course,
gratefully accepted. The veseti started•fiem-the Tower stairs

of merchant vessels were making for the grand emporium of
Commerce, and the whole appearance of the river was exceed-
ingly beautiful. The toasts after dinner breathed naught but
loyalty and satisfaction ; and an elegant silver prize-cup received
upwards of four bottles of claret, in which the company pledged
the winner, Biehard Throughton, Esq. with the utmost good-
will and merrit»ent. • ,

she was illuminated, and the company' remained on board
dancing and enjoying titeneselvea until a late hour.

VA I:HALL—Last evening the Proprietors of this elegant
place of amusement presented the public with a splendid Fete,
arranged on a very extensive scale, uniting all the attractions
of those which have been given on former occasions. We never
saw a more fashionable and numerous attendance; the various
entertainments for which this place is so celebrated, were again
exhibited with undiminished effect to groups of happy specta-
tors, who testified their approbation by repeated plaudits. The
fineness of the weather, on which this amusement so much de-
petals, contributed to render the scene still more pleasing. The
various popular comic songs received as much laughter and
applause as usual, many of them being loudly encored. Miss
Tunstall, who is improved in every respect, sang delightfully ;
she is deservedly a very great favourite. Air. Blackmore again
displayed his wonderful evolutions on the. slack rope, anti by
his daring and surprising efforts afforded sonic of the tender-
hearted part of the spectators an opportunity of dirilaying their
sensibility. The Ballet was extremely well got up; the Mi.
nuer de to Cour and Gavotte were introduced by two juvenile
performers, and very neatly executed. The fireworks con-
cluded the evening's amusement with their accustomed brit-
liancy.
