and therefore if any person has- counselled the
Queen to disobey the command notified to her
early in May last from his Majesty, not to attend
the Coronation, such person, we have little doubt,
is punishable by fine and imprisonment : and we
must say-, it would give us pleasure to find
that some of the meddling and ignorant incen-
diaries to whom her Majesty has unfortunately
too much listened, on certain occasions, were
now to be laid hold of and brought to justice.—
The exceltea'arrangements adopted, under the
supervision 'or-to'rd Sidmonth, for preserving or-
tier in the neighbourhood of Westminster Abbey I
and Ilall, rend'er'all apprehensiou of
perfectly visionary,•even if the Queen should act ,
with the indelica-cy and impropriety ascribed to
her by The Old Times -As to the Law lecture
Which The Morning Chroniclereads to the Soldiers,
on this subject, if its rnotivewere not so monstrously
wicked, its absurdity would provoke immoderate
laughter.- To compass- or imagine the death of
Nostre Seignar le Roi, or that of Madame-so cam-
paigne- is undoubtedly - treason, by -the Statute
of Edward III,; and though the Queen has tong
ceased to be the Campaigne of his Majesty in
fact, she might perhaps, be-held to be so in law,
for the purposes of this Statute. But how does
this apply to the case before us ?—As thus argues
the Chronicle—Not admitting the Queen to the
Abbey is using personal violence towards her :
and using personal 'violence towards her is com-
passing and imagining her death. The Chronicle
law however cloes‘not rest here; for the Editor
goes on to suppose a poor soldier brought to trial,
and pleading that he acted according to orders.
Aye, but was the authority which gave those
orders lawful ? says the writer. Who is to de-
cide that knotty point ? Why the Jury, to, be
sure, replies he. It is a question of law ; and o
course its determination belonzs to the Jury ez
clusively—Admiiable nonsense !

[THE TI M ES.]
Our journal of yesterday contained the Queen's
application to the hereditary Earl-Marshal, that
proper persons should be statioued at the-Abbey
doors to receive her Majesty on Thursday next,
and to conduct her to her seat. To this we are
now enabled to inform the public, that his Grace
has replied with the respectful tender of his duty,
that having delegated his authority to a deputy,
he has no official answer to give, but that he has
referred her Majesty's application to the acting
Earl-Marshal, who, he has no doubt, will pay
immediate attention to it.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
Upon the subject of the desire expressed by
the Queen to obtain admittance into the Hall or
Abbey solely for the purpose of witnessing the
splendour of the pageant, we have already ex-
pressed our decided opinion ; but it is not-be-
cause we may think that the expression of such
a desire is inconsistent with what the Queen owes
to the dignity of her own character, that we are
therefore to- follow the example of her Majesty's
enemies, and say that she is influenced *by any
other than a sincere feeling of what she may con-
ceive to be due to the proper assertion of the
rights and dignities that belong to her station.
It can never lie forgotten that the Queen is the
first subject in the realm, that she is invested by
law with very extensive and peculiar privileges,
that her life and fame are, protected by special
Acts of the Legislature, and being thus marked
out by the policy of the law as an object of
particular favour, it could not be expected
that her Majesty should yield without a strug-
gle :to the indignities which unfriendly power
seeks to inflict upon her. She must now contend
for points as matters of importance, which, unde-r,
other circumstances, she might have regarded as
the most contemptible trifles 7 and it is not com-
petent for persons who do not feel the smarts of
the insults to which she has been exposed to de-
termine for her what may be proper objects far
contention, and the limits to which 'she ought to
confine her feeling& and, restrict her perseverance
in urging her pretensions against the overwhelm-
ing current of Ministerial authority. It is cer-
tain that her Majesty" does not mean, as it has
been falsely represented, to urge with indecorous
zeal at the gates of either the Abbey, or the Hall,
a right of admission ;• neither does she pro-
pose to make any ostentatious diSplay of her
wounded feelings to the assembled multitude ;
but she conceives, whether erroneously or not
we shall not venture 'to detertnitie,. that Ahe
should be deficient in her duty to herself, to. the
public, and to all future Queens, if she did not
urge•to the very utmost point every right even of
the lowest and,least considerable magnitude with
which, in her opinion; she is, as Queen Consort,
invested.. We _are so strongly impressed with
the• belief that it is upon this principle alone her
Majesty. acts, that, we are persuaded. should. the
