THE MOYIN'G BOG.

We have received the following letter from
Tullamore

" TULLAMORE, JULY 14.—The greatest con-
fusion prevails in this part of the country, owing
to the tremendous phenomenon now in motion,
with a slow but irresistible and steady progress.
The most intelligent men and ablest engineers
are wholly unable to ascertain its cause. It com-
menced on Tuesday the 25th ult.; on that day,
between seven and eight o'clock in the after-
noon, a mighty convulsion, which seemed to rend
the bowels of the earth, shook the country for
many miles round. The shocks were attended
with a noise like the roaring of distant thunder;
the earth immediately burst at a place called
Kilmalady, or Horseleap, when a torrent of lava
issued forth, composed wholly of bog stuff. The
force with which it sprung was considerable, and
it was attended with a loud whizzing or rustling
noise.. The spot from whence it issued was bog,
only to a very limited extent. The adjoining
lands were fine meadows and corn-fields, as hard
as Clontarf fields, but a flat country, mostly of
reclaimed bog. In fifteen minutes it covered
three hundred acres, forcing' every thing before
it, covering in its progress implements of hus-
bandry, wearing apparel, &c. &c. which happened
at the time to be accidentally placed in the direc-
tion over which it.spread. The people fled before
it, uttering cries of terror, quitting their cabins' •
trees' were every where torn up by the roots and
levelled. At the surface it has the appearance
of fetrmented beer, working over the tubs. On
a part of the flat country, it was full sixty feet
deep—it moves like the tide ; you would sup-
pose it sliding over the surface of the soil ; but
this is not the fact—it tears up the earth in its
progress,. breaking up the meadows, and tearing
up the sod in large Bakes, forming rolls as large
as wool-packs, some of them 20 feet long. These
immense rolls are swallowed up in its progress
by the mass of, fermented fluid, or thrown out
at the edges. ,They resemble the craws which
are rolled on bogs, for roofing houses; but they
are harder than they could be made by the
strength of men or horses. The soil, consisting
of marl and clay,- appears strewed upon the sur-
face of the moving mass ; it has now covered
above four miles. About 3000 men were em-
ployed, making embankments seven feet high,
and so broad that two carriages might go abreast
on them, which have been since either levelled
or overflowed. The number of spectators is im-
mense ; they come in jaunting-cars, gigs, &c. to
witness this extraordinary phenomenon. The
quantity of bog now in motion is estimated at
above 2,500 acres. It will probably make its way
to Tarbert or Kilrush,and finally discharge itself
into the Atlantic. The destruction of the coun-
try is truly awful."—(Cork Intelligencer.)

RANTERS.—A. correspondent at Darlington has
requested us to insert the following more parti-
cular account of the meeting of the religious sect
called Ranters, at that place, than appeared in
our last :

" On Sunday, July. 8, a camp meeting was held near Dar-
lington by the Primitive Methodists; known also by the name
of Ranters. The number that attended was computed to be
about 7,000. The service commenced at 10 o'clock by singing
and praying ; afterwards a discourse was delivered by one of their
preachers,pointing sinners to the wounds of a crucified Redeemer.
The meeting continued until 5 o'clock, P.M. during which time
3 men and 2 women spoke to the people of the great necessity of
being prepared for that awful change that will shortly take place
upon them and at intervals sung and prayed amongst the peo-
ple. There seemed a solemnity to rest upon the hearers, and
many cried unto God for mercy and found it, to the joy of their
souls, through Christ their Redeemer. After the meeting was
concluded by singing and praying, the pe9ple returned to their
respective abodes, some rejoicing and praising God, others in-
quiring what they slnuld do to be saved, while others retired
under serious reflections from the solemnity of the day. At six
o'clock, nearly 4000 assembled in the Market-Place; during
the time of preaching the p:ople seemed to pay the greatest at-
tention, and to hear the word as for eternity. It is, hoped we
are on the eve of good days."—(Newcastle Courant.)

A WILALE.—It was mentioned in our last paper
that a whale had been brought into Shields. It measured 35
feet in length, was discovered by one of the pilots floating dead
on the sea near Sutor Point, and with assistance was towed to
Mr. Mitcalf's Dock in South Shields, where the blubber or fat
was soon dexterously dissected from it by some of the captors,
who were Greenland sailors, to the no small admiration of seve-
ral spectators, who thus were enabled to witness the whole of
that curious process, as practised in the northern seas, with the
proper instruments, such as the knives, spears, spurs for the feet,
&c. When the lucky captors had got their spoil &blubber se-
cured, (which will yield, itis expected, 2 tons of oil); the carcase
was purchased by a gentleman of the town for the purpose of
dissection, with the nite”tion, we understand, of adding it to
Dr. Barcley's excellent s 01l .ction of bones in Edinburgh. This
liberal conduct has afforc ed sever.il who were curious in natural
history, the opportunity of examining minutely the osteology
of a genus of animals so little subject to the view of the scientific
world. This whale is of that species called the Fin-fish
(Baliena Physalus, Lin.) and is different from that taken some
years ago, and cut up at the same place, which was the Pike-
headed whale of the authors (Balmna Boops, Lin.)—(lbid.)

A stuffed specimen of a fish, 30 feet in length, caught on the
coast of Sussex, was last week exhibited in this town. It was
called Squallus Maximus by the owner, and appears to be the
same as figured by Gcsner, Cane, Carcharia, or Lamia.—(lbie.)

WESTMINSTER HALL.—Yesterday several thou-
sand persons, consisting of all classes, were ad-
' mitted, from twelve to four o'clock, to view the
above magnificent place, and John Bull seemed
to be in all his glory ; pleasant, good-tempered,
and happy. Barriers were erected, and every
thing done that could ensure the safety of•the
Visitors. The gallantry of Lord - Gwynytt 'was
equally con3picuous in attending upon those fe-
males who were overcome from the pressure of
the crowd and heat of the day, and restoratives
were immediately applied for their recovery. In
consequence of the great exertions of Mr. JACK-
SON and Mr. WATSON to give ease and facility to
the admission of the public, we are happy to
state that not the slightest accident occurred
throughout the day. *itht Hall was opened this
day from twelve to four, under the immediate
attendance of Lord GWYDYR.

The following letter has been written'by Lord
SIDMOUTH to Sir R. BAKER, by his MAJESTY'S
command :

" WHITEHALL, JULY 21, 1821.

Sfit—l am commanded by the KING to convey to you his
MAJESTY'S most gracious and entire approbation of the exem-
plary conduct of the Magistrates and Peace Officers on the day
of his Royal Coronation, whereby nor only the peace of the
City of Westminster was preserved, but order and regularity
were maintained to a degree seldom, if ever, equalled ; and I
have to request that you will convey these sentiments to the
several Magistrates and Peace Officers who rendered their ser-
vices on that occasion.

" I am, Sir, &c. &e.
" To Sir It. Baker, &c. &c. SIDMOUTH."

PROVINCIAL CELEBRATIONS,

SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 21.—0 n Monday last a meeting of
the inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood was held at the
Audit House, it being the general wish, that, instead of an illu-
mination in honour of his Majesty's coronation, some other
mode be adopted for celebrating the same : it was therefore una-
nimously resolved that a subscription be entered into for the
purpose of providing a public dinner and entertainments for the
inhabitants of the town ; and that the day of his Majesty's coro-
nation may be a general holiday, it was requested that all shops
should be shut and no business transacted on that day, and that
such dinner and entertainments should take place on the Marsh
adjacent to the town. The sum of one hundred and eight
pounds four shillings was immediately subscribed, and the
Committee and the _several Banks were solicited to receive fur-
ther subscriptions, which came forward in so spirited a manner
that on Wednesday morning the subscriptions amounted to near
5001. An immediate order was given to provide for 5,000
iper-
sonS, but it is calculated that from 6 to 7,000 partook of t.—
Tire morning of Thursday was ushered in by ringing of bells,
' firing of guns, &c. at six o'clock ; and the bellman announced
throughout the town, that the dinner would take place at one
o'clock on the Marsh, to which place all ranks repaired, and it
is calculated that •at least 11,000 people were on the ground.
The temporary tables and seats for this immense assemblage
were judiciously disposed, and about three hundred of the most
respectable inhabitants undertook the office of carvers, a band
of music playing the whole time, and royal salutes were fired
from the beach. All the gentlemen's carriages in the neigh-
bourhood were in motion, chiefly filled with elegantly-
dressed females. After the dinner, amusements were pur-
sued throughout the day, consisting of rustic sports, viz.—
pony races, mountebank exhibitions, donkey racing, foot
racing by married women, girls, men, boys, &c. dancing, with
a variety of other entertainments. A royal salute was fired
from cannon on the beach ; colours were suspended from every
public building throughout the town, independent of a great
number on private houses, and from the diffe:ent ships in the
riven—The Corporation rave a splendid and sumptuous dinner
at the Audit House, which was attended by nearly 100 persons
of rank and fashion. The dinner consisted of turtle, venison,
and every delicacy the season affords, served up in the first
style. A large dinner was also provided at the .Dolphin Inn,.
for the Committee and the principal merchants and inhabitants
of the town ; on the former of which too much praise cannot be
bestowed for their exertions : the dinner was served up in a
very excellent style. There was also, a grand ball at the Long
Rooms in the evening, which was attended by nearly four hun-
dred persons. Upwards of 6,0001b5. of roast beef and mutton,
5,000 loaves, and 250 plum-puddings, together with 35 hogs-
heads of strong beer, were distributed on this occasion. A
greater display of loyalty and benevolence perhaps was never
witnessed in any town in the kingdom. The poor in general
were made as comfortable as the short space of time would
admit—every thing went off with the utmost harmony, and the
greatest conviviality and mirth prevailed throughout the day.
CMCIIESTER, JULY 21.—0 n Thursday, at sun-rise, the
standard of England was hoisted on the saxon tower, in the
Cathedral yard, in honour of his Majesty's Coronation. His
Grace the Duke of Richmond's troop of Horse Artillery, the
Staff of the Sussex regiment of militia, and the newly raised
recruits of the 73d regiment (who made a truly soldier-like
appearance), from their various points, met in this city, at
eleven o'clock, and marched to the Broyle, where at noon
they fired a feu de joie, and afterwards gave four times
four cheers, expressive of their wishes towards the long,
happy, and prosperous reign of King George the Fourth.
_The General's colours .were placed in the centre, opposite
to which was the carriage of her _Grace the Duchess of
Richmond, with Lady • Mary Lennox, &c. His Grace
looked, we regret to observe, languid, which we hope may be
attributed to the excessive heat of the day ; notwithstanding
which he appeared at the head of his troops. His Grace's phy-.
sicians had previously forbade exertion, and refused compliance
with his Grace's wishes to attend the Coronation, for which
every preparation had been made.. At four o'clock the Swan
and Dolphin Inns were numerously and respectably filled with
Gentlemen, nearly in equal numbers, at once shewing their at-
tachment to the Crown, and their love of good venison. The
most pleasant part of our task is to relate, that the feasts did
honour to the occasion, and with every thing to gratify the pa.
late, the most perfect unity of sentiment prevailed, of which
no better proof than this need be adduced. A deputation of
Gentlemen from the Swan Inn went, after the usual toasts had
been circulated, to their fellow townsmen at the Dolphin Inn,
with a complimentary message, most handsomely accepted, and
most handsomely returned. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop
of Chichester held his Visitation on the same day, and in the
course of the afternoon this venerable and esteemed dignitary
of the'church entered the dining-room, and after a few empha-
tic words to the President, Wm. Ridge, Esq. (Mayor) drank
a glass of wine to the prosperity of the reigning Monarch, and
the health of the company, retired amid repeated acclamations.
A royal salute of Congreve's rockets was fired from the crown
from its elevated kht, of the Saxon .tower, which,
as-
sisted the great altitude the rockets attained. The illu-
mination of' the Gothic Cross in- the centre of the city
with Variegated lamps, surmounted by a crown of large
dimensions, most admirably adapted to the contour of the
building, was an object of general attraction, and of unri—
valled beauty. No accident occurrbd, and the transactions of
the day have left a pleasing effect on the mind of every well-
wisher to his country.
WINCHESTER, JULY 21, 1821.—Thursday being the
King's coronation day, the tradesmen of this city and its vici-
nity evinced their respect for their Sovereignby closing their
shops and suspending all business. Early in the morning the
bells of the Cathedral, St. Maurice, St. .John's; St. Lawrence,
St. Michael's,_ and other churches, commenced ringing merry
peals, which continued nearly the whole of the day. At twelve
o'clock the troops of the garrison fired a feu-de-joie, and about
the same time the cannon placed in the front of the residence of
Harry and Robert Knight, Esqrs. of St. John's in the Soke,
were discharged in honour o, the day. In the afternoon, the
Mayor and Corporation attended Divine Service at the Cathe-
dral. The principal tradesmen, and many respectable inhabi-
tants of the place, formed themselves into large parties at the
different inns, and celebrated this interesting day by dining • e-
gether, Subscriptions having been entered into for the purpose

WEST COWES, JULY 19.—1 n no town throughout England
was the Coronation of the British Monarch celebrated with more
enthusiastic joy and cordial conviviality than at this delightful
place, the honoured residence of his Majesty. liitteau of an
'illumination, which at best is but empty ostentation and glare
without substance, between two and three thousand people of
the poorer class, includin men, women, and children, were
regaled with the old English fare of good roast beef, plum
pudding, and strong beer, by the liberality of the more wealthy
part of the town. The beautiful spot granted by Mr. Ward,
of Northwood Park, for the occasion, was a field-in front of
his igeasure grounds, surrounded by lofty elms, under the
shade of which a band of music, and different. tables (as well
as -in the centroi were placed. Mr. Wares extensiv.c and de-
lightful grounds were open for the promenade of the beauty
and fashion which were collected here, and the coup d'ceil of
the entertainment presented more a picture of pastoral enjoy-
ment
in the south of France or in Italy, than the graver and
more homely and ordinary diversions of John Bull.—Lord
Craven's and the Marquis of Anglesey's beautiful yachts, and
every vessel in the harbour and roadstead, were decorated with
the colours 6f all nations, and which a freshening gale dis-
played to the greatest advantage. The -incessant firing of
guns—the opposite shore of East Cowes lined with marquees,
and filled with equal festivity—the towers of the Church, Mr.
Nash's Castle, &c. ornamented with flags--the acclamations of
the happy populace--all these circumstances united, the most
lively imagination hardly presents any thing more beautiful
than the coasts of the Isle of Wight, with its picturesque sce-
nery, so enlivened and animated. The day concluded with
dinners at the principal inns, and the evening with the most
brilliant fire-works.

CANTERBURY, JULY 20.—A sumptuous dinner was served
at Wright's Fountain Hotel yesterday to, the Mayor, and about
40 Gentlemen of the city and its neighbourhood, who assembled
to celebrate his Majesty's Coronation. The bells of the Cathe-
dral were rung at intervals through the day, and in the evening
the city was partially illuminated, in honour of the occasion.
During the morning service at the Cathedral, the coronation
Anthem was sung by the Gentlemen of the Choir; in the
evening the principal entrance to the church-yard was hand-
somely lighted with candles, and the houses in the precincts
were generally, in the same manner.—A gratifying sight was
presented in the afternoon by a procession of the children edu-
cated in the National Schools, to the number of nearly 600,
who walked through the principal streets of the city, occasion-
ally cheering, and being formed on the terrace walks of the
Dane John Field, they sung the national anthem of " God
save the King," amidst the plaudits of a great number of spec-
tators. The children afterwards repaired to the Guildhall,
where each was presented with a plum cake, the gift of the
M ayor.
DURHAM, JULY 20.—Yesterday, being the., day appointed
for the august ceremony of the Coronation of his Majesty King
George the Fourth, so early as 5 o'clock in the morning the
bells of St. Margaret's, in Crossgate, aroused from their slum-
bers the loyal inhabitants of that Chapelry. The bells of the
other churches soon followed, and the deep melody of those of
the Cathedral afterwards added to the general harmony. Flags
were displayed on the towers of St. Nicholas' Church, St.Mar-
.garet's,_the Town Hall, the Waterloo Inn, the County Adver-
tiser Office, the pant in the Market Place, &c. &c. A royal
salute of 21 guns was fired in front of Mr. Chisman's foundry.
At six o'clock a fat ox, weighing about 40 stone, the gift of
Lord Stewart, was put down to roast between two fires, en-
closed by brick work, opposite the County. Courts, in Elvet.—
At three o'clock, the animal being sufficiently roasted, was
hoisted, by means of a crane, on a wooden platform, where it
was cut up and distributed to the multitude, together with six
half barrels of ale, also the gift of his Lordship.—The roasting
of a whole ox being a navel sight in Durham, it attracted many
spectators who, we rejoice to say, conducted themselves in a
good humoured and peaceful manner. Most of the madufac-
turers and tradesmen entertained their workmen with substan-
tial dinners and ale, and many benevolent individuals gave pro-
vision to the needy, in addition to that which was supplied by
the public subscription.—At 5 o'clock 38 gentlemen sat down to
a most sumptuous dinner at Ward's, the, Waterloo Inn, Major-
General Seddon in the chair, supported on the right by Lieut.-
Col. Shadforth, on the left by Lieut.-Col. Light, and assisted by
Stephen Kemble, Esq. as Vice-President. The table was co-
vered with every delicacy of the season. Turtle and, venison,
presented, by Sir H. Hardinge and Mr. Russell, of lirancepeth
Castle, were in great abundance. After the removal of the
cloth, the Chairman rose and addressed the company in nearly
the following words :—Gentlemen, I cannot express the satis-
faction I feel in this opportunity of addressing you, and only re-
gret it is not in my power to do justice to the Chair, in which
your kindness has placed me on this most important occasion.
Gentlemen, we are now met to celebrate the Coronation of our
beloved Sovereign, who on this day enters into a solemn com-
pact with his people, and by the most sacred and religious obli-
gation pledges himself to preserve inviolate our most glo-
rious Constitution—can we then, Gentlemen, in gratitude,
in duty, and affection,,, do otherwise than manifest, by every
means in our power, our attachment and loyalty. I will
not detain you longer, Gentlemen, but will give you a
toast, which I am very sure every person present will drink
with rapture, with enthusiasm, and with all his heart—"-The
King, and long may he reign in perfect health over .a happy,
loyal, free, and united people."—With four times four.—
An Ude, composed for the occasion by S. Kemble, Esq. was
here introduced. The verses were sung by amateurs—the re-
cited parts spoken by the author, and the grand chorus by the
whole company. Never was there at greater display of enthu-
siastic loyalty than burst forth at this moment: thunders of ap-
plause resounded from every part of the room, which continued
for several minutes, the band playing " God save the King."—
(See our Paper of Thursday.)
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, JULY 20.—Yesterday, as was
anticipated, this town was crowded beyond any former prece-
dent in our recolleaion by the double attraction of the Races
and the celebration of his Majesty's Coronation. According to
the " Programme," the celebration of the day was begun by
firing a royal salute from the Castle guns, and the ringing of
the bells of the various churches, which was continued at inter-
vals through the day. The royal salute from the Castle was
repeated at noon. At the request of the mayor, the shops were
kept shut, and hilarity and amusement seemed the general or-
der of the day. The weather was very fine. The Mayor,
Recorder, Aldermen, Sheriff, and Common Council, met at
half-past nine o'clock, and voted the following congratulatory
Address to his Majesty, after which the Mayor was invested
with a gold chain and a medallion, voted at a former Common
Council :--

" TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
" May it please your Majesty,
" We, your Majesty's dutiful subjects, the Mayor, Re-
corder, Aldermen, Sheriff, and Common Council of Newcastle-
upon-Tyne, humbly presume to congratulate your Majesty on
the celebration of .the -Royal solemnity of, your Majesty's Coro-
nation.

" Permit us, Sire, on this auspicious occasion, to renew to
your Majesty the assurance of our most faithful allegiance, and
to express our confident belief, that your Majesty's ancient town
of Newcastle-upon-Tyne will be found second to none in loy-
alty to the throne and obedience to the laws.
We are sensible that your Majesty's just and equal attach-
ment to the prerogative of' the Sovereign, and the rights of the
subject, affords a sure pledge of the continuance of those bless-
ings which we now enjoy, under the protection of a temperate
and firm government; and we will never cease to pray for the
long duration of your Majesty's reign, and that it may be al-
ways abounding in happiness to your Majesty, and in prospe-
rity to your people.
" Given under the seal of our, corporation this 19th day of
July, in the year of our Lord, 1821."
—At half past ten, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Common
Council attended by a considerable number of the respect-
able inhabitants, walked in procession from the Guildhall
to St. Nicholas' Church, wit::re an excellent .sermon was
preached by the Reverend the Vicar, from 1 Kings, i. 39.
Instead of the Psalm, the Hallelujah Chorus was per-
formed by the choir, and at the end of the service the
Coronation anthem. The procession then returned to the
Guildhall, within which the King's health was drank ; aril
when the Castle guns began to fire, an elegant new pant, which
had been erected on the middle of the Sandhill, began to cur

wine. This erection was very handsome, painted to resemble
stone, with a copper dome, and surmounted with a full sieod
imperial crown, richly carved and gilt. The pipe was also
gilt, with the NeWcastle Arms above it. We will not attempt
to 'describe the struggles and the fun exhibited here. One
man clung so close to the spout, that all his clothes forsook
him by piecemeal, before he was rolled away: a sailor amused
his companions by climbing up the pant and putting the crown
upon his head, till the smell of the liquor brought him down;'
several others who had got upon the precious fountain, tumbled,
and one man lay as though he was dead ; but we could not ascer-
tain whether he was really hurt. The pant was demolished
when the wine ceased to flow. From the density of the crowd
it was found impossible for the military to fire on the Sandhill,
as had been proposed, and therefore there was a grand brigade
.on the Moor only.—The military proceedings on the 1 own
Moor took place according to the following garrison orders of
Lieutenant-Colonel Holmes, 3d dragoon guards, " Newcastle,
17th July, 1821.---The garrison of Newcastle will assemble on
the Town Moor in contiguous close colubin of half 'Squadrons
and companies at half-past ten o'clock on Thursday morning,

for four cheers by the whole line. The troops to break into
open column of half squadrons and companies, and march pait

be pleased, after marching past, to branch off to their several
quarters."—The roasting of the Oxen at the Spital, and in
the Old Flesh Market, took place according to the pre-
vious arrangement ; but the preparations for this part
of the entertainment afforded more gratification . to the
curiosity. of the numerous visitants, who repaired before-
hand to inspect them, than to the parties who were intended
to benefit by their operation. The erection of the fire-places,
of the platforms to cut up the beasts upon, the contrivances of
the spits, and the cranes to lift them, promised an extraordinary
treat; but from the unskilfulness of the cooks, the event was
not equal to the expectation. The fires were either lighted too
soon, or were too violent ; for, according to report, the oxen
were ready by six o'clock in the morning instead of twelve at
noon, and consequently had to remain six hours hanging be-
tween the embers. When they were hoisted upon the tables,
the outside appearande was not very inviting, being black and
apparently burnt to a cinder; and after a number of well-
dressed carvers had begun to cut into them, and distribute the
steaks among the crowd, it was found that outside appearances
in dishes of this size are not to be trusted to,—for much of the
meat was still raw ! In consequence, the Carvers in the Flesh-
market were pelted with their own portions, and after some
time were glad to make their retreat, being assaulted with the
bricks from the erection, and other missiles. The crown of the
ox, which had been placed on the top of the crane, was battered
down, and a printed paper about the Queen fixed in its place.
The mob afterwards pulled down the pump, tore up the pipes
that conveyed the' beer to it, and committed several other out..
rages, but still good humour was depicted in almost every
countenance, and the attackers were pelted. in their turn. At
the' Spital, things were managed better. The beef was dis-
tributed without any interruption, save the numerous applicants
for a slice, and the scene afforded Much amusement to the
spectators who were assembled on the terrace, town's walls, and
scaffoldings erected for the occasion. The ale from the pant
continued to ran for a considerable time, but much of it was
wasted in fun. The ale pant at Sandgate performed its office
with due reputation. There was a handsome procession of mail
coaches from Mr. Dodsworth's,'at noon. They were decorated
with purple ribbons. Purple favours and watch ribbons were
much worn by the ladies and gentlemen. Poring the day theee
was a great firing of guns and other demonstrations of joy cal
the shores of the river. As usual, Mr Danson, of Wincomblee,
distinguished himself. Sir Robert Shafto Hawks had a taste-
ful illumination on the outside of his house in Clavering-place,
with various appropriate inscriptions from the Coronation
Anthem. It reached from the ground to the roof of the
house, and had a brilliant crown at the top, and the 'plume
at the bottom. The colours of the letters, and of the draW.
ings, were finely variegated, and exceedingly bright, forming a
striking contrast with the dark shade of the casing. We have
seen more light, but never more beauty in an illumination._
There was a grand dinner at the Mansion-House. In the great
Blue Room the Right Worshipful the Mayor presided at one
table, with the Sheriff for his Vice-Chairman : at the other Mr.
Alderman Smith, with Mr. Alderman Bell. In the Oak Room,
Mr. Alderman Reed and Mr. Alderman Cranilington presided,
supported by Mr. Alderman Cookson and Mr. Alderman
Sorsbie. A decorated Baron of Beef attracted much notice,
and many cutting compliments were paid to this Noble of Old
England. In the evening the pit and gallery of the theatre
(Mr. Dowton, the star of the week) were opened gratis to the
free burgesses of the town, and their families, on the invitation
of the Mayor. There was a ball in the Assembly Rooms, in
Westgate-street. There was also a grand dinner at the Trinity
House. The distribution of money to the hospitals, and the
prisoners; and the treatsao the children of the parish sehaolS,
took place according to tne previous arrangement The account
of the vote of a specific sum to the Mayor and Committee for
the expenditure of the day was erroneous.
NORTH SliiiLDS, Thursday Morning.--Several halMoar-
reis of ale will be distributed on the Duke of Northumberland's-
quay, Market-place, North Shields, this evening, in honour of
the Coronation ; and great preparations are making for an il-
lumination. Other demonstrations are making, such as dona-
tionS of beef, bread, and money, to several deserving poor fa-
milies. A royal salute has just been fired from the Market-
place, North Shields ; the bells have struck up, and the whole
of the shipping have their colours flying. Twenty-one guns
have also been fired from South Shields, and token given of a
glorious day.
At SUNDERLAND, the morning was ushered in by ringing
of bells, the ships in harbour were decorated with colours." A.
subscription was raised, which afforded a comfortable dinner to
about 2000 poor people, each having a ticket, for which they
get two pounds of beef, a threepenny loaf, and threepence in
money. There was a dinner at Jowsey's. The members of
the Sea Captain's Lodge of Free Masons dined at thee Golden
Lion. There were also small dinner parties at most of the re-
spectable public-houses. In the evening, fire-works were to be
let off in the garden at the Custorn-house.
At NORTRALLERTOI4, there' was a public dinner at the
Golden Lion Inn, which was most numerously attended. The
Right Hon. the Earl of Tyrconnell in the chair. A handsome
subscription took place for regaling the poor with bread, cheese,
ale, &c.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

INTELLIGENCE FROM WALLACHIA.

JULY 10.—Letters worthy of credit,
dated Bucharest, 20th and 21st June, contain
the following particulars: " A letter from the
Greek camp has been received here, addressed
by the insurgents to the Turkish Governor, in
"which they beg for an amnesty, and declare them-
selves ready in case it should be granted, to re-
turn to obedience, from which they have been led
astray by Ypsilanti's delusive intrigues and se-
ducing promises."—The Kiaja of the Pacha im-
mediately gave orders to have proclamation every
where made, that the amnesty required should be
given to all insurgents who lay down their arms
and return to obedience.

The Kaimacan of the ITospodar is employed in
the appointment of the chiefs of districts, several
of whom have already repaired to their respective
posts, in order to do what is possible to restore
order in the depopulated and desolated villages.
A deputy has also been sent to the Boyers, who
are now at Cronstadt, in Transylvania, inviting
them, in the name of the government, to return to
their homes.

The same letters paint the situation of the pro-
vince in the most gloomy colours. " Difficult as
it may be (says one of these letters) to form at the
first moment an estimate, founded on a solid basis,
of the destruction that has taken place, it may be
affirmed, that fifty millions of piastres is too low a
.calculation of the loss occasioned to the proprietors,
especially to the class of small land-holders;
first, by the insurrection of the Pandour Chief,
Theodore, then by the appearance of the corps of
lletaerists,and lastly by the advance of the Turkish
army. Among the losses we must reckon not
merely the wasted stores, the plundered and ruined
buildings, the pecuniary exactions which the lead-
ers of the undisciplined bands of insurgents, and
almost every individual insurgent allowed himself
to practise ; but the loss of the whole of this year's
harvest, because the farmers fled from their homes
at the beginning of the revolution, and did not
sow their fields, and the winter corn sowed in au-
tumn now rots on the ground, because there are
no reapers. Wallachia, formerly so rich, will not
recover in twenty years from the sufferings which
have been brought upon this province, by an ill-
judged enterprise, hazarded without knowledge of
the people, and of the local relations; an enterprise
to which the great mass of the people has remained
alien, and which could not terminate in any case
but with the destruction of all property, either by
the revolution and intestine war, or by the conse-
quences of a war with neighbouring powers, the
theatre of which must inevitably be on the left bank
of the Danube. Hitherto no complaints can be
made against the commanders of the Turkish army;
they act with great moderation ; but the army it-
self is composed of such heterogeneous parts, and
the soldiers of whom it chiefly consists are so
little under controul, that its appearance is every
where attended with unavoidable desolation. In
the midst of the contest stands the poor farmer,
to whom the whole affair was foreign in its origin,
and who considered the first appearance of
Theodore, with a few Pandours, as nothing more
than one of the usual incursions of a single chief.

The most opulent classes soon fled from the
-tow Is, and left them a id their pr( p.,.rty to their
tate. The towns and the country were soon
-without any Government, and the farmer had no
other means of safety than to yield himself a
prey to the first partizan, or to fly into the woods
and mountains. This is a faithful picture of the
last few months ; the future certainly offers no
very satisfactory prospect."—( Austrian Observer,l
July 10.).
OPORTO, JULY 6.—We have received from
Rio de Janeiro the instructions of his Majesty
relative to the Government of Brazil during his
absence ; they are as follows :
" The Prince Royal of the United Kingdom
shall take the title of Prince Regent, and my
Lieutenant of the Provisional Government of the
Kingdom of Brazil, with which he is charged.
In this Government the Conde des Areas shall
be Minister and Secretary of State for the affairs
of the Kingdom of Brazil and for Foreign Affairs;
the Conde de Lausana D. Diogo de Menezes,
Minister and Secretary of the AfNrs of Finance,
as he now is ; Major-General Carlos Frederico
de Caula, to be Secretary of State ad interim in
the War Department ; and Manuel Antonio Ta-
Dinha, Major-General in the Fleet, to be Secre-
tary of State ad interim for the Marine Depart-
ment. The Prince Royal shall take his resolu-
tions in the Council, formed of the two Ministers
of State, and of the two Secretaries of State, ad
interim, and its determination shall be reported
by the Minister or Secretary of State whose de-
partment they concern, who shall be responsible.
The Prince Royal shall have all powers for the
administration of justice or finances, and econo-
mical governments ; he shall be able to com-
mute or dispense with the penalty of death,
to which criminals may have bee❑ sentenced ;
be shall decide all questions relative to the public
administration. He shall appoint to all the
Offices of Justice or Finance, to all Civil or Mili-
tary employments, and the persons so appointed:,

shall immediately enter in the exercise of their
functions by virtue of his decree. Ile shall pro-
mote to all benefices and ecclesiastical dignities,
excepting Bishopricks ; but he may propose to
me for them such persons as may be worthy. lie
may make war offensive or defensive against any
enemy who may attack the kingdom of Brazil,
if the circumstances of the case are so urgent that
my Royal orders cannot be waited for without
the greatest injury to my faithful subjects in this
kingdom, and in similar circumstances he may
make truces, or some provisional treaty with the
enemies of the State. Lastly the Prince may
confer, as honorary favours, the habits of the
three Military Orders of Christ, St. Bento de
Aviz and St. Tiago de Espada, to persons whom
he shall judge worthy of this distinction. In
the unfortunate and unhappy event (which God
avert) of the death of the Prince Royal, the Re-
gency of the kingdom of Brazil shall immediately
devolve on the Princess Royal, his Consort, my
much beloved daughter-in-law, who shall govern
with a Council of Regency, consisting of the
Minister of State, the Secretaries of State for the
Departments of War and Marine, the President
of the Privy Council, and of the Chief Judge ;
the Senior Minister of State shall be President of
this Council, and this Regency shall have the
same powers and authority as were enjoyed by
the Prince Regent.

SOUTH AMERTCA.
The desertion of the Royal troops bad become
very general. The regiment of dragoons of
Mexico, that of Tlascala, a column of grenadiers
composing part of the garrison of Vera Cruz, as
well as the militia of Orisava, had abandoned the
Royal standard and established their head-quar-
ters at Iluamantla, half-way between Mexico
and Vera Cruz, recognizing Colonel Iturbide as
their -superior in command. The regiment of
dragoons of La Puebla soon after followed the
example. The detachment of the regiment of
Tlascala, which garrisoned the important point
of Plau del Rio and Puerto del Rey, delivered
these positions into the hands of a Patriot divi-
sion, under General Victorio. All the popula-
tion of the coast had declared for independence.
Orisava was taken by the Patriot Commandant
Miranda, on the 20th of March, and Cordova on
the next day. These two positions were the de-
pots for tl►e Royal tobacco, valued at two mil-
lions of dollars, all of which was captured, not-
withstanding the greatest efforts on the part of
the Royalists. Almost all the garrison of Vera
Cruz was marched out to aid in retaking
these places, but the whole of the officers and
soldiers joined tl►e Independents.—From Puebla
five hundred men were dispatched with the same
intention, but they also joined the Revolutionists.
Lieutenant Colonel Herrera and Major Villcamil
had formed from those troops who had abandon-
ed the Royal cause, a corps of 2500 men, and
established them in cantonments at Huatzhigo, in
order to protect the city of Puebla, where the
Revolutionists are masters. On the 25th of A pril,
the port of Alvarado, fifty miles from Vera Cruz,
Was taken, and o❑ the 27th, the port of Ilacotal-
pa. Colonel Bustamente had also joined the
Patriots with the troops which he commanded i❑
the populous province Mitchoacan; and it was
said that he had attacked and defeated a division
of Royalists under the command of Brigadier
Loaces, and entered Quaretero. On the 26th
April, a desperate action was fought at Tepiaca,
about twenty leagues from Mexico, between the
Royalists under Ehia, and the Patriots under
Herrera and Bravo; but the action was not de-
cisive. The latter retired on Cordova and Orasava

KINGSTON, JAMAICA MAY 23.—" By letters
received in this city yesterday from Savanilla,
we learn that the Columbian flotilla, consisting
of 30 gun-boats, under Colonel PADILLA, had got
into the harbour of Carthagena on the 4th inst.,
by the entrance of Passa Cavalier, and conse-
quently cut off the communication between that
city and Bocha Chica, which is the impregnable
defence of the harbour to maritime attacks. The
flotilla had captured several small craft with pro-
visions, and a schooner. The gun-boats are so
close in shore as to be enabled to fire into the
city. All the women, children, and persons not
capable of bearing arms, as well as those that
could not lay in provisions for themselves, had
been sent from Carthagena, and many of them
had reached Baraquilla and Soledad. The Eu-
ryalus frigate, Captain BIGLAND, arrived at Sa-
vanilla on the- 15th from Carthagena. Her officers
reported, that at the period of her departure the
gun-boats under Colonel PADILLA were close in
the harbour of Carthagena."

By the -arrival. of the brig Leopard, we learn
from Martinique and St. Bartholomew's, that pi-
ratical depredations still continue off these islands
and on the South American coast, to an alarming
extent. The French were vigilant, but .the
privateers frequently elude them. A brig has
been taken, by Commodore DANIEL'S vessel,
from Vera Cruz, with 140,000 dollars on board,
besides a cargo in dry goods, to the amount of
200,000 dollars.—(American Paper, Jane 19.)
-We have heard that a gentleman i❑ the vicinity
of Glasgow, has received from his Britannic Ma-
jesty's Consul at Alexandria, in Egypt, letters
which mention that a sloop of war had been daily
expected from Malta, with engineers to survey
and report on the practicability of transporting
immediately to London the famous needle of Cle-
opatra, which lies prostrate. In London it will
be a truly noble monument, while at Alexandria
it is useless. They also- inform that the military
expedition of MAIIOMET ALI PACITA, under the
command of his son I SMA EL, and directed towards
the south, bad captured Dongala, and it was sup-
posed that of Sihnaar and Durfour, were the par-
ticular objects in view. —We are sorry to hear
there is a want of a Christian church and Chap-
lain at Alexandria, where there are so many
Franks. Trade was dull and money scarce. A
number of English travellers had arrived on their
way to Upper Egypt.—( Edinburgh Star.)
