The Coronation of the King of Hungary

(From the Times' Special Correspondent.)
PESTH, June 8.

It is just past mid-day only. The Coronation
ceremony is over—gone truly and literally like a
beautiful dream. Franz Joseph has crossed over
the bridge to his Palace of Buda, the crowned
King of Hungary. He has passed out of sight
just like the hero of some gorgeous fairy spectacle,
who vanishes behind the wings as the curtain falls,
and the audience are dispersing in great content-
ment.

The actual coronation took place in the small
chapel at the Buda side, which only holds 800 or
900 persons, of whom more than half were mem-
bers of the two Houses. All the proceedings had
'been carefully rehearsed, so that none of those little
hitches which cause such great impediments and
destroy effects so thoroughly should occur, and it
may be said that the piece was played several times
before it was put on the stage, only that the King
and Queen were not present at the rehearsals and
their parts were left out.
At four o'clock in the morning the guns of the
fortress of Buda woke all who were asleep, and if
noise indoors and out of doors all night could keep
people awake there were very few of theta startled
by the noisy summons.
At seven o'clock precisely the ceremonies of the
Coronation commenced.

On reaching the church his Majesty, who was in
his uniform of Field-Marshal, was assisted from his
horse by the Lord High Chamberlain, while the
Mistress of the Robes assisted her Majesty to de-
scend from the carriage of state, which was of sin-
gular magnificence and richness. The Crown jewels
were placed on the high altar, and the Archbishop
of Kalocsa commenced the service with the formula
of the Church according to the Pontifical° Romanum.
Addressing the Primate, he spoke the words
" Postulat Sancta Mater Ecclesia Catholica ut prsa-
sentem serenissimum Franciscum Josephum ad dig-
nitatem Hungaris Regis sublevetis." Then the
Primate responded—" Scitis ilium dignum et utilern
ease ad hanc dignitatum ?" And the Archbishop of
Kalocsa answered--" Et novimus et credimus."
Then his Majesty was led to the altar, and kneeling
to the coronation oath, which has been given in
a previous letter. Then his Majesty descended to
the lowest step before the altar, and lay prostrate at
full length on his face, while the Primate read the

Litany, the bishops giving the responses, all kneel-
ing. During these prayers the Primate rose from
his knees, and with his episcopal staff in his left
hand twice made the sign of the cross over the pros-
trate form of his Majesty; the bishops, kneeling,
did the same.
At the conclusion of the Litany his Majesty was
conducted behind the altar, where he laid aside his
peli se, kalpack, and sabre, and prepared for the
unction. Returning with his attendants, his M ijesty
knelt bJore the altar, and there was anointed with
the holy oil by the Primate. This part of the cere-

mony excited much interest. As the Primate poured
the oil on his Majesty's right arm and between the

shoulders he prayed reverently, and when the cere-
mony was over the King rising went behind the altar
where the superfluous unction was dried, and reap-
peared after a time and walked to the foot of the
throne, where he knelt down and seemed to pray.
While he was thus kneeling the Lord High Chamber-
lain and Marshal of the Court and officiating pre-
lates approached with the Royal mantle of Stephen
and placed it solemnly over his shoulders. This is
clearly proved to have been a casula, the work of
Gisella, Queen of St. Stephen, made in A.D. 1031,
and is regarded with the utmost veneration by all
Hungarians. It was the gift to the Church originally,

and has undergone some mutilation. The inscrip-
tion states, " Casula ha3c data et operata est Ecclesioa
Santa Marie sita in civitate alba (Stuhlweissen-
burg) anno ab incarnatione Christi mxxxi., indic-
cione xiv. a Stepheno Rege et Gisla Regina." When
it is out of repair it must be mended by no other
hands than those of the Queen herself. Then the
High Mass began to the blare of trumpets and the
roll of kettledrums. The Prince Primate read the
office to the conclusion of 'graduale,' when, attended
by his prelates, he went to the altar, where the re-
galia were deposited. The King, surrounded b y
his officers of high state and dignity, having arisen,
was led to the altar, where he knelt lowly, and bowed
his head to the Primate, who placed the naked
sword of St. Stephen on his hand with the words of
the formula :

" Accipe gladium de altari sumptum por nostras manus
licet indignas vice tamen SS. Apostolorum consecratas.
Tibi regaliter concessum, nostrasque benedictionis officio in
defensionem S. Ecclosim Dei divinitus ordinatum."

The Primate having received back the sword from
the Emperor, who now rose, put it into the sheath,
and fastened the belt round his loins with the
words :

" Accingere gladio tuo super femur tuum, potentissime,
et attend°, quod sancti non in gladio, sed per fidein vicerunt
regna."

And then the King, standing erect, and turning
his face to the people, drew the ancient blade, and
with vigorous hand made the steel flash in the light
as he cut first in front, then to the right and then
to the left, according to tradition, and returned the
sword to its sheath, while the artillery thundered
out a salvo from outside. The King next advancing
knelt on the highest step of the altar, and there
the Archbishop of Gran, as Prince Primate, and
Count Andrassy representing the Palatine, put the
Crown of St. Stephen on his head. The world has
heard enough lof this famous piece. It consists of
two parts—one sent by Pope Sylvester 11. to St.
Stephen in 1000 A.D., and used in his coronation,
the other dating 70 or 80 years later, sent by
Michel Dukas, Emperor of the East, to King Gyza,
from Byzantium. It is called " holy," " sacred,"
" apostolical," and the King of Hungary derives his
title from the last adjective. It is almost like
a trooper's morion in shape, and is enriched with
enamels and precious stones. When the regalia were
taken by the insurgents they were buried in 1849,
near Orsova, in the Danube, close to the Turkish
frontier ; but their hiding place was found out
to the great joy of Hungary, after four or five
years seclusion in the mud. The Primate, with his
hands on the crown, gave the blessing, and pre-
sented his Majesty first with the sceptre in his
right and the globe in his left, with the formula, as
follows :

"Accipe virgam virtutis ac veritatis, qua intolligas, to
obnoxium mulcere pios, terrere reprobos."
Having done this the Primate removed the sword
of St. Stephen from the King's side, and returned
it to the Royal Hungarian Cup-bearer, and when
that was done the second salvo was fired, and a
phase of the ceremony ended. The King was now
ready to be enthroned. With the Primate on one
hand and an Archbishop on the other, the King,
preceded by 11 magnates, bearing the insignia of
Bulgaria, Kumenia, Serbia, Lodomiria, Galicia,
Bornia, Dalmatia, Transylvania, Sclavonia,Croatia
and Hungary—the Heralds, Master of the Horse,
and other high officers, was conducted to the
Throne, and took his place on it with much
solemnity. The Primate, standing on his right,
pronounced the words,
" Sta et retina modo locum quam hue usiue patern a
successions tenuisti haereditani jure tibi a Doo delegatum
per auctoritatem omnipotentis Dei."
Count Andrassy made a sign, and at once the
whole assembly burst into an " Eljen .1" which was
repeated three times with thrilling effect. The cannon
thundered from the Blocksberg—the bells of Buda
and Pesth burst out into chimes. The King was
crowned. As crowned King he presented his consort
to the Primate, and demanded that she should be
crowned; and anotherservice commenced, the crown
and insignia being laid on the altar. The service for
the Queen was similar to that of the King. A crown
was put on her head, but the Royal crown was only
held on her right shoulder for a time, after which it
was replaced on the head of the King. At one time
the King and Queen lay prostrate on their faces as
his Majesty had done, and after the ceremonies here
were complete the King and Queen went in proces-
sion through the church gates to the garrison church
where all the royal insignia except the crown were
laid aside, while the King made a number of knights
—equites aura ti—dubbing them with the sword of St.
Stephen.
The procession, on emerging from the church, was

formed very much as they started, but it was swollen
by the Banderia of the Counties, by the bishops,
and prelates, and mitred abbots, who formed a very
fine-looking body of portly cavalry, and by the
belrers of insignia, who took their places, mounted
on splendid horses.
After a time a break was made in the stream by
the appearance of some Court footmen and a singu-

lar horseman with a flat cap trimmed with white
and drooping feathers. In another instant there
was a cry from the multitude—a long wild Bljen !
and there rode from under the bridge, erect and
stately, yet lithe and graceful, a singular figure
alone. No need to say, "There is the King."
The archbishop, bishops, mitred abbots, the Hun-
garian Noble Guard, and the Gendarmerie
of the Guard followed, and the procession was
closed by the Lichstein Hussars. The procession
wound round by the quays and the street of Pesth
till his Majesty came to the square in front of the
parish church. Here a tribune was erected three
feet high, covered with cloth of gold, on which the
King took his stand, and there, in the presence of
the people, raising three fingers of the right hand to
Heaven, and holding aloft a crudifix in his left, he,

with his face to the east, took the oath, which was
read to him by the Primate, amid three tremendous
Djens "and salvos and volleys of musketry. The
procession returned to the Franz-Joseph Platz by
another route, and there took place the last cere-
monial of the sword-striking.

was dull, at drooping currencies. Very little business was

transacted.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at barely
late rates.
The supply of barley on the stands was only moderate.
Grinding and distilling qualities were in fair demand at
the rates of Monday last.

tendency.

plied, ruled firm, at full currencies.

SEA GULLS.—Few sights are more pleasant than
on a find summer clay in the Western Islands to see the
porpoises shooting their jetty fins out of the water, quickly
followed by the upward flourish of their tails, as they chase
the fry on which they feed ; while sea gulls in hundreds
follow in their wake, keeping up a wild chorus of shrill
cries.—Dips in the Dmakdonian Sca.
