THE CORONATION.—TkeOI'6TS of the Beard
of Works have. been executing'witb more Than
ordinary energy in Westrriinster Hall ; and. to
that circumstance, more than to any other, are
we disposed to trace the revived rumours respect-
ing the Coronation of his MAJESTY.; and it is
said that the objections of the Chancellorsof the

ExcheqUer, on the ground of the state of public
business, to a postponement of the EaAyr ad-
journment of the House of Commons,teyond
Monday week, comprehended the probability of
some notice for concluding the arrangements for
his Nlajesty'a coronation. The galleries and pas-
sages, : and the servants' glass pantries behind
(and ingeniously hid from the passages) for the
different articles required during the grand fes-
tival, are all completed in Westminster Hall, ex-
cept the mere covering of the seats and fresco
ornaments in front, which it is estimated could
be, finished in a fortnight ; and these being mere
Superfic.ial ornaments, it is not
,neCessary they
should be laid on until the last moment ; but the
gilding and stucco work materials are all on the
• spot, and every thing indicates the truth of the
rumour that the Coronation will take place in
the ensuing summer. The great alterations now
carrying on in Westminster Hall by the. Board
of.lVorks, are in the repairs of the ancient roof,
:many parts of which,.upon perforating the timber
for suspending the chandeliers for the corona-
tion, were found •so rotton, that the safety of
this noble roof, which, for its mechanism and
'antiquity, has become
_so justly celebrated, re-
quired an immediate separation of the decayed
parts, and the fitting in of substantial join-
lugs to complete the frame-work. A general sur-
vey of the roof lately took place in consequence
of the dis,covery of this decay, and the oak
(which, according to the popular tradition, was
first imported by William Rufus) was found
mostly sound, but the cherry-tree rafters. were
• worm-eaten ; they have been in consequence all
taken down and renewed. It was deemed right
in the progress of the work to take down the
old lantern which illuminated the hall from the
top of the roof. Its weight was found to have
made an impression on the roof, and the taking
it down was a difficult an d 'rather perilous work,
from the enormous quantity of lead which was
clumsily used in its original manufacture. A
new lantern is now erecting in its stead of a
light and more useful form. Instead of lead,
sheet iron is to be used with the timber frame
work, still preserving the Gothic form so essen-
tial to the. unity of the structure. In three
weeks it is calculated-that the whole repairs will
be finished, and then the upholstery part will
alone remain for completion. Six , weeks' notice
wi4l be necessary between the issuing of the Pro-
clamation, and
,the Coronation : and it is said;
that if it shall- occur during the sitting of Par-
liament, the Commons, as of ancient courtesy,
will Ire entitled to seats in the hall.—(Observer.

GIihE.4WICH Ekrn.—lt appears that certain of
the inhabitants of Greenwich, in unison with the
Governors and Directors of Greenwich Hospital,
have determined, if possible, to suppress the fair,
which has -been held at the festive seasons of
Easter and Whitsuntide in that town from time
almost iminemorial. As a preparatory step, the
Governors of Greenwich Hospital have already
given notice of their intention to stop up the road-
betm een the burial-ground of the college and the
park wall,
,in which the principal booths aT.I
shows have heretofore been erected. This inten-
tion, however, is, we learn, to be opposed at the
Quarter Sessions for the County of Kent, At the
same time it is not understood that the humours of

Holy day-hill, in the park, are to be suspended,
although a greater degree of regularity than has
hitherto been observed is to be maintained. Care
is to be taken to prevent injury to the lawns, by
digging up the turf, a practice but too common ;
and all games which tend to promote gambling
are to be suppressed. The park, under the au-
spices of the present Ranger, her Royal High-
ness the Princess Sophia of Gloucester, has of late
assumed a more orderly appearanCe than has for
some years been observable. A new carriage-
road has been opened from Greenwich town to

Hampstead-hill. - The old gates have been taken
down, and new ones erected. Young trees have
been planted ; and we learn with satisfaction,
that the beautiful lawns are again, by turning the
paths by which they have been go wantonly in-
tersected, to tfe restored to their pristine neat-
ness.--o`liudag Pyer.)

OLD B A LEY.--70 n Saturday Samuel Aylett
was indicted for stealiq,g; on the Btl of February,
in the parish of St.. Andrew, Holborn, two hand-
kerchiefs, 15 bottles of wine, and other articles,
the property of Henry Revell Reynolds, Esq.,
chief commissioner of the Insolvent Debtors'
Court. Mr. W A LF.O.U.D oPened the ,case for the
prosecution, and Calgd the prosecutor andiother
witnesses, from whose testimony it appeared that
theiprisoner had been a footman in Mr: Reynolds's
service About 15 months, and suspeCting of late
that he had been robbed, he took occasion, during
the prisoner's absence on a message, which he
was sent upon on purpose, to search .his bed-room.

In .the prisoner's clothes-bag were found•two of
the; prosecutor's handkerchiefs, and a neckcloth
of .his son's. A key :was also found, .which
opened a drawer in the library table, where
the key of Mr. Reynolds's wine-cellar was
kept. This led to an investigation .ar the
.wise-cellar„ and it • was found 'that 15 bottles
of choice•wine were missing, out of a parcel 'which
was kept in a particular bin. When the pri-
soner returned, he was '`taxed With the robbery,
and had the audacity to tell his master, that as
to the wine, " he (the prosecutor) could not
suppose that he (the prisoner) was to cro. hard
work • with small beer." Afterwards the pH.,
soner admitted, at Bow.4treet, that he had taken
some wine, but not so Much as his'master sup-
posed. As• to the handkerchiefs, he said his
master had given them to him,..which, however,l
the latter positively denied. The prisoner said
'that the handkerchiefs had been put into his
bag, by mistake, and not with• a felonious in-
tenL• -The Jury, under the t.ornaion .Serjea'nt's
direction; found the -prisoner. Guilty, and he -was
sentenced to seven years' :transportation. ;.
