SEX, we believe, has now appointed the 23d of August for his
visit to Southampton, when the Installation of the Prov. G. M.,
Sir Wii.i.lAst CRESPIGNY, will be celebrated with great
splendour. * • ..

The'Corouation of His MAJESTY ING G EORGE
the FookTn, THE GRAND PATRON of our ORDER,
was celebrated at Cork, on the 10th Instant,
with the utmost, splendour and festivity. The
day had been selected for performing the cere-
mony of laying the foundation, stone of the New
Bridge over the_ Lee, which is to connect more
nearly- the city of 'Cork with the Southern -abd
Western divisions of the county. The fraternity,
bore a conspicuous part in the proceedings on this
festive and auspicious occasion, and gave ample
proof of their loyalty and inviolable attachment
to the person of their most illustrious GRAND
PATnos, who Was at the male moment completing
the covenant between himself and his people,
and cementing, by the most sacred ties, their
,reciprocal relations. The day was observed as a
festival throughout the City. All business was
suspended, and the people seemed to give them-
selves up to the joy and enthusiasm of.the moment.
—The Morning was ushered in by the bells of
Shandon and the Cathedral ringing a merry 'peal,
which they continued to do at intervals through-
out the day. The ships in the river were deco-
rated at an early hour.with a variety of flags and
streamers7-the colours of every nation floated in
our harbour, and the banner of the United King-
dom waved ofi all our public edifice& A large,
distribution of bread and meat took place at the
Mansion-House to the heads of fifty poor fami-
lies. None were permitted to partake of the
bounty who had not a family of six children, so
that upwards of 300 individuals were relieved
by this liberal and considerate act of the MA von,
who assisted at the distribution himself. About
half past 10 o'clock, the different LODGES assem-
bled at the house of the MASONIC ASYLUM Fort.

The ProcessiOn was joined at the Exchange by the Mayor and
Corporation:dressed in their Robes of Office, the Aldermen
in their Red Robes, and the Burgesses in their Black Gowns.
—The Corporation f.. 11 in immediately after the Grand Lodge,
who advan-ced (after the Junior Lodge at the head had reached
the door of St. Peter's Church) between the files of all the other
Lodges, and entered the Church. . The Corporation of Coopers
also joined in the Procession, one of the body carrying a satin flag,
on which the Arins of the trade were highly emblazoned. The
body of Free Masons was so numerous, that they extended from.
the Church to the Exchange, through the North Main-street.
An appropriath and eloquent discourse was delivered by Dr.
Burrows, the Dean of Cork, who took his text from the 2d
chap. Ist and 2d verses of the Fpistle. of Paul the Apostle to
Timothy. It had been:arranged, that after Service the Pro-
, cession was was to proceed ,through the South Main-street to the
South Mall, where it was expected the Garrison would fire,
but in consequence of a general order that the Garrison
should fire at noon, this route was altered, and the Pro-
cession advanced up the North Main-street, along Kyrl's
quay, Coal-quay, Merchant's-quay, Warren's-quay, up the
SOuth Mall, along, the Grand-Parade, up the New Street,
and 'to the Mardyke by. Nile-street. In the North Main-
street, after - leaving the Church, the -Body of Journeymen
Coopers joined the Procession, cheering the \fasters'as they.
passed. They also had a Flag: with an appropriate device, and
made a very respectable and decent 'appearance, each man hav-
ing a sprig of Oak in his hat. The mulaitude.that filled. the
streets at this period was immense. . It was with the utmost
difficulty 'the PrOcession could move through the mass of people
which met it at all Points, and yet we are happy to anncrance,
that not the smallest accident occurred, during the whole of
this festiire day and night.—Much credit is due to the quiet
and orderly conduct of the. few Dragoons who were appOint-
ed to make way for the 'Cavalcade ; they behaved with the
greatest propriety, thoughoftentnnes pressed upon by the crowd.
The procession then proceeded up the Mardyke to the new road
and the temporary bridge across the south branch of the Lee,
where the new stone edifice is about to be erected : minute guns
during the time being: discharged from the top of the New
Building at the County Gaol, which was also decorated with
several flags and streamers, and, from the tower of Mr. Mannix,
at Suneay's Well. Here every thing was arranged for laying
the foundation stone of the new Bridge, and the Master, War•
den, and Officers of the Grand Lodge, and the Mayor and prin.

cipat Members of the Corporation, proceeded to the spot, when
the usual ceremOnies commenced. The Grand Master having
taken his station at the east of the stone, with the Mayor on his
left, and his Wardens in the west, the Overseer who car-
ried the square delivered it to the Mayor,' who preheated
it to the Grand Master, and he:having applied it to that part of
the stove which was squared, returned it back to the. Overseer.
The plumb was then delivered to the Grand Master in a sinrilkii
manner, and he having applied it to the edges of the stone, de-
livered it back to the Overseer, by viluen the level was delivered
to the Mayor, who also presented it to the Grand Master, whh
applied it above the stone in several positions, and returned it
back to the Overseer. The mallet was then presenthd to
the Grand Blaster, who gave three knocks upon the stone,
which was followed by three buzzes from the Breen :3:on
and the assembled multitude. The Cornucopia was then
delivered to the Mayor, and the silver vessels, contain.
ing the wine and oil, to the Wardens. The Mayor then pre-
sented the Cornucopia to the Grand Blaster, who turned
cut the ears of corn upon the stone, after which the silver
vessels were delivered by the Wardens to the Mayor, and by
him presented to the Grand Master, who poured the contents
upon the stone, saying, " May the bountiful hand of Heaven
" supply this city with abundance of corn, wine, and oil, tied
" all the 'other conveniences of life." Music was then heard,
and repeated cheerings. The Grand Master afterwards repeated
these words :—" As we have now laid this foundation-stone,
" may the grand Architect of the Universe, of his kind provil
" dence, enable us to carry on and finish the work which W'e
".have- now begun ; may He be a guard to this-place and-the
",city in general; and may he preserve it from decay and ruin
" to, the latest posterity." The Mayor then advanced, and said,
that having the honour of being appointed by the Overseers
to name the Bridge, he was happy to give his aid, at such an
auspicious period, to any work of such general utility,
which opened so direct and convenient a communication be-
tween this city and the Southern and Western portiots of
this county, which increased the facilities of the countty
of bringing its produce to market—and also tended thereby to
augment the trade of the city—,both of which must be advanced
by any undertaking that had such an object in view ; he there-
fore took advantage of the present auspicious occasion whiCh,
assembled them together, to name the present Edifice, " The.
Bridge .of George the Fourth."--Twenty-one rounds were
then fired from three pieces of cannon, which were placed
in the camp-field, and the ceremony was concluded with
a short prayer . for the Sovereign, the' Corporation of the
City, the 'fraternity of Maims, and all the People.--Te
Procession then returned in the same order, and •by the'
same route, to the Exchange, after which the different Lodges•
withdrew to their respective Lodge Rooms. The Master.
Coopers returned to their Hall at the Crown Tavern, and the.
remainder of the day was passed with that festivity and hat.-
mony which at all times distinguish meetings of the fraternity,'
and which the happy occasion that then called them together
seemed if possible to heighten. 'We think that the selection
of this day for the interesting ceremony in which, the craft were
called upon to lend their fraternal assistance, was particularly
judicious; and the numerous attendance' of the Brethren, and
the fervent and enthusiastic loyalty which they evinced through-
out the proceedings, must be highly gratifying to their ILLUS-.
TRIOITS GRAND PATRON, and, at the same time, convince
him that though he is now called to a higher station, and has
more arduous duties to perform: than that ot presiding over us,
we do net forgot, and are not ungrateful for the cheerful and..
afEible attention which he at all times displayed in the manage.-:
meat of the Craft, and that n shall exer.reyerence.thehiNisibih.
ties by which we are allied to Him, in addition to thhse that
bind us to Him as good and loyal subjects.

The 'ceremony of laying the Corner Stone of`
the MONTREA L GENERAL HOSPITAL took plac'e.
on Tuesday, the sth of June. The processiont,
and ceremonies were conducted with great pomp
and magnificence. The inhabitants of Montreal',
we believe,• never before witnessed so splendid
an. exhibition, and we regret that we cannot give
a more ample account of a ceremony which, of
course, would be highly gratifying to the
Brethren hi England, inasmuch as it shewsthe
respeCt in which the Craft is held, and the pro-
gress of the Fraternity in the Canadas, those itul
valuable appendages to the British Crown.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

• D ALLY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS.
July 27.

[MORNING HERALD.]
We are extremely sorry to understand that his
izsiMajesty's general health is very far from being
.‘tittf.good as his appearance when in public would
vstreirt:cm..arrant..We are informed, that for some
-". days' preApits to
,the .Coronatigv his state of
.health was such:that the ceremony was contem-
plated with much ,anxiety by the Royal physi-
rians,:and that they. judged itnecessary to advise
a particular regimen in consequence. Yet, never-
theless, his Majesty's excessive exhaustion on re-
turning from the Abbey on that day was so ap-
parent, as Co become the theme of universal
regret among the asserribled .multitudes; and
though refreshment and a short repose restored
him, in some measure, to his wonted cheerfulness
and graceful ease, we believe he is still subject
to frequent attacks of extreme lassitude.

[MORNING POST.]
Several letters were received yesterday from
Trieste and Genoa, which confirm the previous
accounts of the total defeat of the Turkish fleet
by the Greek squadron offMytilene. A 'Turkish
ship of the line was consumed on the shores of
that island, where it had probably been com-
pelled to run aground. The subject is men-
tioned in the following extract of a letter from
the Agent to Lloyd's at Genoa, dated the 14th
instant :—" By the Steam Boat just arrived from
Venice, we learn that intelligence had arrived
there from Corfu of the Turkish fleet, consisting
of twelve ships of war, having been defeated by
the Greek squadron off Mytilene."

[THE TIMES.]
In our remarks of yesterday, on the singular
proceedings in the case of Mary Anne Catlile,
the discordance of the Jury, their consequent
liberation, and the escape of the accused, we
omitted to notice one point, and to which in-
deed we should not have reverted had it not
been for the surprise which we find the circum-
stance has created abroad. The man in black,
who, when the whole Court, the Learned Judge,
together with the Counsel for the prosecution
and for the defence, acquiesced in the propriety
of dismissing the Jury, called out loudly, that he
would not suffer the Jury to be dismissed—
wily was not that man committed ? The au-
ditors in a Court of Justice have been sometimes
known to applaud or laugh; and such conduct is
indecent enough, and ought to be sternly re-
pressed, though something may still he forgiven
or allowed to the sudden impulse of temporary
feeling. But such an insult as that upon which we
are commenting we never recollect to have known
offered to a court of justice; that an individual
should dare to tell the Court that, he would not
allow of its proceedings, that individual being
neither Judge nor Juryman, nor Counsel on either
side, nor being in any way before the Court. We re-
collect a case in which the late Lord Ellenborough
suffered himself to be bearded in a way to which
his Lordship was not accustomed ; and he after-
wards excused it to himself and his friends, by
acknowledging that he was thunderstruck by the
enormity of the man's impudence, 64 which was
perfectly sublime." Few men know how to act
ex =proviso on an occasion totally new. We do,
however, most ardently solicit even justice in the
very forms and ceremonies of the Court, as the
only means of tranquillizing the public mind, and
restoring the people to a temperate and loyal
state of feeling.

EMORNING CHRONICLE.]
An idea has al•ways been entertained in this
country, that the great object of Jury Trials was
in a great
.measure frustrated by the introduction
of Special Juries among us. Juries can only
be impartial where neither party, directly or in-
directly, has any influence in their nomination.
This is the cage with respect to common Juries ;
but the manner in which the lists of persons
liable to serve as Special Jurors are made up, and
in which the Jurors are appointed, opens the
door to a system of management or pack-
•ing, altogether inconsistent with the idea
of impartiality. Hence Special Juries too
often cease to answer the object for which
Juries are appointed, namely, to be a check on
a Judge, and instead of it yield a blind deference
to his directions. This is worse than if the mat-
ter were left altogether to the Judge, for it serves
to free him from responsibility, the fear of which
might sometimes not .be without a beneficial in-
fluence. -in the cant language of some of the
Special Jurors of this description, the man who
does not yield a blind deference to the Judge,
who wishes to deliberate and to be convinced
before pronouncing an opinion, is called obstinate.
Thus, for instance, in the trial of Mary Ann Car-
lile, before the Jury had deliberated an hour, in
consequence of a message from the 'Foreman to
the Judge they were called into Court, when
one of the Jurymen expressively observed," My
Lord, there is obstinacy." Aye, aye, the man
who has a conscience cannot help being a little
obstinate at times, especially when complaisance
may be attended with the ruin of an innocent
fellow-subject.

[NEW TIMES.]
It was to be expected that the Advocates of a
licentious: Press would exult at the dismissal of
the Jury impanelled to try Mary Ann Carlile:
They represent this event as " a signal triumph
over the Bridge-street Association,"—" a noble
stand against an inroad on our liberties,"--" a
death-blow to the Bridge-street Confederation."
We might:easily retort on them their own remark,
4C it will be time enough for them to halloo when
they are out of. the wood ;" but before we pro-
ceed to shoiv: that the triumph is rather on the
side of the Association, we will make a few re-
marks on the. gross inconsistency of its adversaries.
Mary Ann Carlile is spoken of in The Times as
" a wretched creature," and " an injurious mem-
ber of Society"; it is not denied that the libels
for vending which :she was prosecuted by the
Society for the Suppression of Vice, and the

Constitutional_ Association, Were both of them:
most atrocious, the one teeming with horrid blas-
phemy, the other with daring sedition : and yet
both.rhe Times and the Chronicle rejoice that
one of the prosecutions against her has (as they
suppose) failed! It must follow that they will
still further rejoice when they hear that the Car-
lile family continue to pursue their nefarious
traffic, by selling the very libels for which hus-
band, wife, sister, and shopman have been al-
ready convicted.—No longer ago than yesterday
there were bought, at the shop in Fleet-street,
above half-a-dozen copies of a pamphlet, in
which Richard Carlile embodies the sepaiate
passages for which the two Societies had in-
dicted his sister; he adds, " in consequence
of my being in prison the Constitutional
banditti can indict no one but my agents : and
as. fast as they indict one, I can find a new one
to supply his or her place." Was there ever
heard such daring and profligate defiance of the
laws of any country ? But yet this is not the
most appalling part of the transaction—this
wretch debauches the
.mind of very infancy !
The new agent now employed to vend blasphemy
and sedition at the shop in Fleet-street is a poor
child not above 12 years old ! Well might Mr.
Gurney say that this shop was a disgrace to the
Magistracy of the City of London. Here is a mart
for impiety and disaffection, a hot-bed for pollut-
ing the morals and slaying the souls of youth—
a den infinitely more pernicious than the worst
brothel in the Metropolis—it stands open for
weeks, and months, and years, in the most public
thoroughfare of the City—and if we ask why the
local IVlagistrate does not interfere to abate so
fearful a nuisance, we can obtain no better an-
swer, than that Mr. Waithman is the Alderman
of the Ward ! The Newspapers, which defend
Carlile and his fellow-libellers, take especial
care not to give a hint of the real nature of the
libels. It therefore becomes our painful duty to
state them plainly a-id without disguise. In the
Pamphlet, fitted July 15, 1821, and sold yester-
day, Carlile says, " This fiend, Religion, is again
at her cut-throat work"—" the word Religion is
strictly synonymous with massacre, misery, and
devastation"—" Kingcraft is on the decline, and
the office of King has become quite unseemly in
the eyes of the Sovereign people"—" All Reli-
gion I proclaim a vice in society. It is the off-
spring of ignorance and credulity, now enforced
by Priestcraft, and can exist only with an
ignorance of the laws of nature." He then co-
pies the two libels for which his sister was in-
dicted by the Society foi the Suppression of Vice,
and by the Constitutional Association, and
deliberately repeats that " the gook called the
Bible is filled with lies, blasphemies, obscenities,
and atrocities"—" that the whole of the Legis-
lature is abominably corrupt ; that the laws,
as a matter of course, are as corrupt, partial,
and oppressive ; that the necessary Adminis-
trators of the laws from such a Legislature
must be corrupt and wicked men; and that
e whole together stink in the public nostrils."
