THE CORONATIO.

The issue of tickets for viewing Westminster
hall has ceased,. and that edifice will not be
opened again to general inspection till after the
Coronation. We understand that no less than
forty thousand tickets were issued by the Loan
GREAT CH A M BERLAIN during the eight days the
Hall was opened to the public. The tickets for
admission to the Hall on the day of the Corona-
tion, are now stamping with the LORD GREAT
CHAMBERLAIN'S Seal. In serving up the first
court; t of his MAJESTY'S dinner, on the day
of Coronation, his Grace the I)uke of WEL-
LINGTON, as Lord High Constable of England
for the day, and the Marquess of A NGLESEA, as
Lord high Steward for the day, will accompany
the Earl Marshal (Lord HOWARD of Effingham,)
on horseback, attired in their robes, as Peers,
and having on their heads their Coronets. It
was thought these Noble Individuals would have
ridden by deputies, but in thus personally per-
forming their offices, the interest of this part of
the splendid scene will be greatly enhanced.—
We are happy to state, from authority, that the
intention which existed, of throwing open West-
minster Hall to the populace at the banquet, has
been abandoned ,f rom a n ell-founded apprehension
that the impetuosity of the persons admitted might
produce mischievous consequences to themselves.
Two folding gates have been erected at the north
entrance to the Hall, which, from their peculiar
construction, would resist the pressure of any or-
dinary force which might be applied to them.
In ad2lt►on to the several regiments of cavalry
summoned to London to attend the Coronation,
we understand that all the yeomanry corps
within fifty miles of the metropolis Kill likewise
be present. A consultation took place in the
Lord Great Chamberlain's O►fice, on Monday, as
to the probable time which the various ceremo-
nies to be gone through on the day of Coronation
would occupy, when it was considered, that, un-
der all circumstances, it will be impossible for his
MAJ EST Y to sit dow❑ to dinner till eight o'clock
in the evening. In this view of the case, it was
deemed necessary that preparations should be
made for lighting Westminster Hall, and the ave-
nues leading to and from it, on the approach
of nightfall, and orders to that effect have been
issued. Mr. PERRY, of Bond-street, is the per-
son by whom these orders are to be executed.
He was yesterday morning engaged in making

his estimates of the number of lights which will
be necessary. Splendid chandeliers are to be
suspended from the heads of each of the angels
terminating the arches which support the roof
of the Hall (28 in number), and each of these
chandeliers will contain from 50 to 60 wax can-
dles ; independent of these, there will be bril-
liant candelabras, and other lights, on the tables
and royal platform. The dining-rooms in the
House of Lords, Courts of Law, as well as all the
other rooms and passages through which Members
of the Procession will have occasion to pass, will
also be lighted with candelabras, lustres, branches,
and lamps.
CORONATION CLAIMS. Yesterday morning

the Lords of the Privy Council assembled at the
Royal Cockpit, Whitehall, to take into consi-
deration a number of claims that have been re-
ferred to them for their decision from the Court
of Claims. The Lord President, Earl riAlt
RONVIIY, the Master of the Horse, Duke of
MONTROSE, the Duke Of CLARENCE, Marquis
CAMDEN, the Secretaries of State for the Home
and Foreign Affairs, the President of the Board
of Trade, &c. attended.—Their Lordships exa-
mined a great variety of books, documents, and
ancient manuscripts, and confirmed some of the
claims, and disallowed others.

fErtosTATrox.—A magnificent Balloon will ascend on Cie
18th inst. from the Belvidere Gardens, Islington, in honour of
his Majesty's Coronation. A young Nobleman will ascend in
it, accompanied by a scientific Gentleman, under whose direc-
tion it ha been made.

LIVERPOOL.—The day of the Coronation will be observed
in this town in the most magnificent manner. A splendid Coll
will be given in the elegant suite of rooms in the Town Hall.
The Corporation are going to distributeXlsooamong the public
charities of the town ; and Companies of the different Trades
will form a procession through the principal streets, and will
afterwards proceed to open the New Dock, which is considered
one of the finest piecest of naval architecture in the kingdom,
and does infinite credit to the architect.

COAL MARKET, JULY 11.

CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 11.-A krge propor-
tion of Monday's supply of Wheat remained over for this morn-
ing's market, but which chiefly consisted of samples of inferior
quality, for which there is but little demand, and consequently
it met very heavy sale at Monday's prices ; but prime samples
were disposed of on full as good.terms as on that day. The ar-
rivals of Oats have this eiek been abundant, and having' but
few buyers, the trade was exceedingly dull at a decline of trom
61. to is. per quarter. In Barley, Beans, and Peas there is no
alteration.

CHILD MunnEa.—Tuesday night, about 12
o'clock, as Mr. HYAM, of Wild-street, Long-acre, was enter-
ing
his passage, he found a bundle tied up tightly with a string,
and covered with blood., Thinking it was a bundle of meat
which somebody left there, he took it up to his room, when, on
opening it, he 'found the dead body of a child. Bartlett, a
beadle, was sent for, and he conveyed it to Si. Giles's Workhouse
for a Coroner's Inquest.
AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH.—YeS-
terday evening, Mr. Atkinson, of • Parker-street, Drury-lane,
had a party of friends at his house to spend the evening. lie
partook of tea with them, apparently in good health and spirits,
after which he quitted them for the purpose of feeding hiS horse
in a stable p.7Y:.,,rent to his house, but remaining longer than was
expected, they .:)ccame alarmed, ~ncl a female, named Clew,
proceeded to the stable, where she found him lying on his back,
a corpse-7A medical gentleman was sent for, but all attempts
weze useless to restore animation.
The Manchester Observer, a newspaper which
tended in so great a degree to fan the flame of
discontent which accident had kindled,and which
bad wen fed with inflammatory combustibles, is
at last defunct. It had passed through a variety
of hands, which changed as the lash of the law
shook the nerves of its successive proprietors.
We know it is invidious to speak it of the dead,
else we would say, never did a viler production
disgrace the freedom of the press; for though it
so often changed the name of its publisher, yet the
same evil spirit seemed to continue its editor under
all, and contrived to" run a muck",in the assassina-
tion of private characters,' and in the endeavour
to cater for the vilest passions of rnankind.

LAW INTELLEGF,NCE.

COURT Or KING'S BENCH, JULY U.

REV. PaCHAP.D HAVES V. SHEPHERD. •
Mr.CAMPBELL showed cause against a I.ole obtained by Mr.
Chitty, tor setting aside a judgment of nol. pros. This was
one of several actions commenced by the pl,tintiff against the
publishers of the " Literary Journal-7' for libel. The defend.
ant was merely the seller of the publication, and stopped the
sale as soon as complaint was made, offering at the same time '
any reasonable reparation. In another action which Went to a
Jury upon a writ of inquiry, 51. damages only had been given;
and the Court would not, under such circumstances, the I,!ara-
ed Counsel trusted, interfere. •

Mr. CHITTY, in support of his rule. contended that the
judgment had been irregularly signed. It would be cheaper
to both parties to set the judgment aside than to commence
proceedings de novo.
The COURT discharged the rule.
SALISDURY V. MORTON AND ANOTHER.
This was a petition from a prisoner in the •King's Bench
against two sheriff's officers for extortion. The names of the
officers are Morton and Cavanagh, and the undue charges were
important rather as a matter of principle than from their indi-
vidual amount.—The plaintiff WaS heard in person.
Mr. SCARLETT appeared for the defendants.
The CouRT ordered that Morton should pay 131.-21 to the.
plaintiff tbr reparation, 11. for costs, and 101. as• a fine to the
King. Cavanagh was fined 71.-11. to the plaintiff for repara-
tion, 11. for costs, and 51. to the King.

SALISBURY V. GIBBON..
This was a similar application by the same plaintiff agaitist
a tipstaff of the King's Bench prison. The charge was, that
Gibbon had taken (for removal by Habeas Corpus to the King'is
Bench prison) a fee of ten shillings and 6d ; ne being only en-
titled, according to the table of fees hung up in that
.prison, to
charge six shillings. The defendant stated that the fee of.
ten and sixpence had been taken by hims.lf and his predeces-
sors in office, for more than five and twenty years.
The Coital-, not having before it upon affidavit the table of.
fees relied on by the plaintiff, ordered that the matter should
stand over till the next term.
RICHARD MARTIN, ESQ., M.P. V. HAWKINS AND ANOTHER.
Mr. SCARLETT requested time, in this ease, to answer the
affidavits filed by the plaintiff. The fact was, that 'hr. Mar-
tin having borrowed £6,000 five years since (and never paid at
shilling either of interest or principal), suddenly discovered that
he had been cheatA of £BOO out of it ; but against a rule of
only twenty hours' old the parti,s were not prepared CO show
cause.

r. NoaAN,—That is a neat way for the Learned Gentle-
man's clients to get over an indictment for conspiracy, which,
they richly deserve ; but if the case stands over, I trust we shall
have leave to file additional affidavits. •
The Couivr decided that cause should be shown next term
the plaintiffs being at liberty to file affidavits within a week.
