WEYMOUTH, .JULY 14.—Every preparation is makihg
here to celebrate the Coronation-day with the customary marks
of joy ; nor will it be confined to this place, but the adjacent
villages also will bear a conspicuous part, particularly Upway,
where N. C. Daniel, Esq. intends to give a grand entertainment
to a large company of Ladies and Gentlemen at Westbrook.'
house. A band of music will perform on the lawn, and the day
will be a scene of festivity,-not only to this Gentleman's fa-
shionable party, but the villagers will also be plentifully,
regaled on the occasion.—The Coronation Ball, announced
to take place at Russell's Royal Hotel ASsembly Rooms,
on Thursday evening next, will be most magnificent ; and
in order to give additional splendour to the occasion,
Mr. Russell has for this fortnight past engaged, at a consideiable
expense,, Mr. Robins, jun. in painting, decorating, and adorn-
ing the Ball, Cal, and Supper Rooms, in a stile highly ho-
nourable to the spirited and laudable motives of the Proprietor,
and most creditable to the abilities of that ingenious Artist.—
The additional improvements that have taken place in this
once venerable seat of royalty, during the absence of its worthy
and hospitable owner, under the direction of Mr. J. M. Forke,
Architect, are most splendid and magnificent, particularly
the new and unique Gags of cast iron, at the entrance of
the Court Yard, and the neat railing, of the same metal, before
the Mansion, as well as the judicious embellishments in the
elegant and spacious rooms of the interior.
MARGATE, JULY 15.—Owing to the long continued prei'a,
knee of cold easterly winds, this favourite summer resort has
not been hitherto so well attended as of late years. Within_ these
few days the arrivals have been more frequent, and the Coronation
over, there are little doubts of a full and profitable season.—
The Libraries boast a fashionable assemblage every evening,
and the Sunday evening Promenade at the Royal Hotel,
on the Bth instant, was attended by upwards of three hundred
persons. A public meeting was called last week, to take
into consideration the best mode of celebrating the Coronation,
when a Committee was formed, and .a subscription commenced,
to give a good dinner' of roast beef and plum-pudding -with
plenty of Cobb's Entire, to 2,000 of the poorer inhabitants.
This scene of rejoicing is to take place. in the Church-fields,
and it is expected that a double row of tables will extend on
the occasion from the top to the bottoni.

men from Worcestershire, who are in town for the purpose of
attending the festival of our most gracious King's Coronation;
made an excursion in Roberts' State Barge td Richmond. After
viewing the beauties of that delightful' spot, they returned to a
barge moored off the Marquess of Cholmondeley's cottage,
wherein an elegant collation, consisting of all the delicacies of
the season, was prepared for sixty. . The utmost harmony and
Conviviality prevailed throughout the evening, the serenity of
which, added to the numerous pleasure boats assembled on the
'spot, and the presence of many fashionable and interesting
groups on either side the river, rendered the coup d'ceil truly
enchanting. The following toasts were drunk with the utmost.

O'er the proud heighta whiehlook o'er ?'ego's flood,
In dread array the hostile armies stood ;
With zealous vigilance, through day and night,
This hopes for battle, that prepares for flight
The Gallic Chief and his dishearten'd host
Feel the sure failure of their Despot's boast ;-
'Elio' famine urge, attack he dares not try,
Ile fears. to.fight, nor fears he less to fly.
Darkness prevails, and silence strange ar?tdrear
Adds to the gloom of night. the. awe of fear ; . .
Darkness, save that'from SANT'RE ass tented height,
MaasitetA's watch-fires cast a tbreat'ning light ;
'Save *here the rriciOnbeams on the waters phy.
And. the streakial ivave reflects a trembling ray e
- Silence; save where the guard pursues its round,
And gives the word, and tramps the hollow ground t
Save were the cadence of the distant oar
In less'ning echo dies along te Shore. . • • •

But hark ! what sudden murmurs lOati the gale,
What eager tidings clamour thro' the vale, •
The gatifring drums now speak the dread alarms, •
And the loud sounding clarion brays to arms. •
The foe is fled, accurst the treach'rous flame •
That mock'd our watch, and lit him thro' his shame.
Swift trace his course, scale the craig'd mountain's height,
Rush dawn the precipice, and dare the fight,
Nor let the torrent's rage protect the recreant's flight.
'Tis done ! the crirnson'd track and scatter'd dead
Proclaim who follow'd, and how fast who fled.
-And what could valour more ? when safety's near,
Pursuit but Wings with speed the flight of fear.
Daylight returns ; sad sight of mortal pain
To those who seek lost friends among the slain ; *
Huge heaps, alas ! of breathless forms are there,
And taint with putrid blasts the passing air.
Amid the fall'n that load the gory ground,
The piercing groans of those who live resound,
Or faint from wounds in horrid trance they lie,
With their glaz'd eyeballs fix'd upon the sky—
If senseless, blest ! return no more vain breath, • •
Lest their remembrance aid the pangs of death !
Oh 111emory ! spare to aggravate their doom,
Spare, from their faded thoughts, their friends at home ;
From their lov'd country turn the ghastly eye,
Nor that way bid them gaze, and gazing die !
But now again urge on the bold pursuit,
Who first shall reach them be our sole diSpitte ; •
Poirnball and Coimbra 'shall attest how well
Our troops obey'd ; and where the victims fell.
- But alt ! what horrors cross the Conqu'ror's way,
Thou Torres-novas, Thomar, Puthas say:
Ye can attest, victims to Gallic faith, • •
You gave them shelter, and they gave yen death !.
Lo ! on the earth the murder'd youth is laid,
Who vainly sought to save a shiiekihg maid ;
Before her cottage door thentiother
And at her bleeding breast her infant cries.
These are the boons the tyrant's oath afford
To the dup'd wretch that deed to trust his word—
These are the blessings he on all bestows
Who hope for safety. whilst they arc his foes.
Raise, Lusitania, raise thy drooping head, •
Thy bonds are, burst, 'thy boasting foe is fled—
Thy patriot bands, by British Science taught, -
With equal 'valour have endur'd and fought.
liaise, Lusitania, raise thy thoughts,, and see
What diff 'rent motives urge thy foe and thee.
His conscripts, forc'd to guard a-tyrant's sway,
Fight, but because 'tis death to disobey—
Their hearts, with not one noble joy elate, • -
Die in a cause they scorn, and for a man they hate.
Whilst their poor mangled bodies ne'er shall prove
One pitying mark of grief, or care, or love ;
But on yon patriot band, tho' fate deny
Protracted life, and valour bids you die,
A nation's woe shall mourn each hero's fall ;
Honour and Friendship shall support his pall ;
And o'er his bier whilst flow'rs and laurels wave,
Protected beauty's tear shall mark his grave.
Raise, Lusitania, raise thy valiant arm,
Since, taught by BERESFORD, you .corn alarm ;
Where matchless WELLINGTON directs the way,
Trust that to conquer is but to obey :
Or, if you wish an added force to boast,
Hope dauntless GRAHAMS yet may join your host. •
Or seek ye aid from your dead champions' fame,
Brave ALULTQUERQUF.S ask, RODIANA'S claim;
To their dear country, to their honour true, . •
Though not in battle slain, they died for you ;
To their lov'd names thy ranks shall homage yield,
And their bright spirit seem to guide.the field.
Raise, Lusitania, raise thy pions prayer,
That thou, insulted State, yet peace may'et share.
Yes ! that sweet hour shall corhe, when Discord fell,
And Fraud, shall seek in France their native hell ;
Then shall the golden grain wave o'er thy ground,
Again the creaking wine press shall resound ;
Again. thy peasants plant the rescu'd
And thy freed fleets ride prciadly on the main.
Raise, Lusitania, raise thy grateful eye,
Anti clasp in firm embrace t?y true Ally. .
Gain not from us the art of arms alone,
But learn like us to scorn a Despot's Throne ;
Learn that in trust to man all power it gio'n.
Learn to be free, and leave the rest 19 Heae'n.

NEW ARGYLE ROOMS.-Madame CATALANI,
who has been absent some years from this country,
yesterday evening made her first public appearance
in London, at a Concert in these Rooms. It was
with pleasure we observed, that there was not the
slightest falling off in those astonishing powers of
melodious execution, with which she had formerly
delighted the polished audiences of the Metropolis.
The performances consisted of two acts, and
Madame Catalani sung five different pieces, in a
most admirable style. Her voice was not only
distinguished -for the most impressive clearness
and melody, but was occasionally expanded into
such an electrifying swell, as nearly to extinguish
the sound of the instruments. Her concluding
piece was the first verse of " GOD save the King."
In the execution of this she was admirable, and
was received with thunders of applause. The
performance was announced for nine o'clock, and
at that hour the Music Hall was crowded with
amateurs and persons of fashion. In the Royal
box were the Dukes of Clarence and Cambridge,
with, we believe, the Duchesses of Kent, Glou-
cester, Clarence, and the Princess Augusta.
The audience were highly dressed, 'a profusion of
diamonds was worn, and the whole display was
extremely glittering. The Concert began with,
a symphony of Mozart. Spagnolette led the or-
chestra, and Cianchettini sat at the piano-forte.
The most striking instrumental piece of the even-
ing was a duet between the Misses AsHE on the
harp and piano-forte, performed in such style of
taae, correctness, and expression/ as justly ex-
cited a warm and universal applause. The room
was filled in every part with a splendid company,
consisting chiefly of females of the first rank and
fashion, elegantly dressed.. There were
_great
nuMbers of foreigns present.
