insinuations as to oppression being fortified by
the forms of law,—a vain-glorious boast of the
steady support which her MAJESTY receives fr m
the affections of the people;—and a mere wo-
manish complaint against her MAJESTY'S perse-
cutors,
n°twi
tiesfthstanding her connection by the
(21' blood with the most illustrious families in.
uruPe is certainly very odd, and by a
most unfortunate fatality, that all those illus-
.trinn,
families with -whom her MAJESTY is con-
.
fleeted, should have joined in confederacy with
•her persecutors ; for if it be true that her
kAsesry has been an object of persecution, the
studied care with which her Royal and Illustrious
Connections have abstained from all interference
for her protection, is a proof that they' have at
least with a criminal indifference, wholly unac-
countable on any of the ordinary motives and
Principles of human conduct, abandoned her to
..the cruel machinations of her enemies, if they
have not secretly aided
,and approved of their
designs! But, persecuted or not, her MAJESTY
oughtin common justice to acknowledge, that in
;the LAWS and C6NsTyrtmoN of England she has
found a more powerful protection than her pet)-
,
Pie Could have afforded her. DE LOLAIE, we

Witnessed the result of a civil action between a
..14elliber of the Royal Family and an ordinary
subject, in which the decision was against the
Prince of the Blood. Though himself a native
of a Republic, he-was struck with so great a-dini-
ration at this instance of the inflexible impartiality
with which justice and the laws were adminis-
tered, that he could not refrain from entering

his ingenious and beautiful work on the English
Constitution. The case of her MAJESTY affords
Dfar more noble instance of the despotiim of the
alt's than that which excited the attention of
E LOLME ;—and, the instance of her MAJESTY'S

OLD BAILEY (this day).--This morning these
Sessions commenced before Mr. Justice HOL.
R OYD, *Mr. Justice BURROUGHS, the COMMON
SERJEANT, and Mr. Alderman BRIDGES, WllO
presides in consequence of the continued indis-
position of the LORD MAYOR.—John Herring, a
boy of 12 years of age, was capitally convicted
of stealing a quantity of kerseymere, value 181.,
in the dwelling-house of J. Winder; and Sarah
Fletcher, alias Pain, for fobbing Mr. Caplin, of
the Cock at Holloway, with whom she lived as
servant, of Bank-notes and gold to the amount of
1501. and upwards.—ln consequence .of the Coro-
nation the Court will adjourn, we believe, until
Saturday, as the witnesses in the several cases
of murder are ordered to attend on that day.

The following paragraph appears in The Old
Times of this day. We need not make auy
comment, as Mr. JACKSON, who, by all accounts,
is a very respectable character, is very well able
to defend himself :---" We understand that some
of the most powerful pugilists, at the head of
whom is Jackson, are to be employed as door.
keepers during the ceremony of the Coronation,
both at the Hall and the Abbey, for the more effec-
tual maintenance of order among the well-dress-
ed visitants. This is employing avowed peace-
breakers to keep the peace!"
Yesterday the Duchess of CLARENCE and the
Duchess of KENT rode out together in a coach
and four.—Last night the Duke and Duchess of
CLARENCE, and his Serene Highness the reigning
Duke of SAxE MEININGEN, honoured the Italian
Opera with their presence.—The Duchess of
KENT dined yesterday.with Prince IA EOPOLD.—
Ilis Royal Highness the Duke of YoaK enter-
tained a large party to dinner, yesterday, at
York House, the Stable-yard, St. James's.
Her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA is
preparing for a continental tour immediately
after the Coronation. Her Royal Highness pro-
ceeds, in the first instance, on a visit to her
Royal Sister the Queen of WIRTEMBERG, and
next to the Princess ELIZABETH, Duchess of
Hesse Hombourg.
Yesterday a ballot was taken at the, East India
House, for the purpose of determining the follow-
ing question, viz.—" That Sir JAMES HOME, Bart.,
late of the Madras Civil Establishment, be per.
flatted to return to the Service, under the pro-
visions of the Act of the 33d Geo. HI. cap. 52,
Sec. 70, with the rank which he held when he
quitted Madras, agreeably to the Act of 53d
Geo. 111. cap. 155, sec. 85."—At six o'clock the
glasses were closed, and delivered to the scruti-
neers, who reported the question to be carried in
the affirmative.
CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.—This being a Royal
Foundation, the Scholars are naturally anxious
to witness the ceremonies attending the Corona-
tion, but as there can be no room for them on
that august occasion, they wish, it seems, to be
admitted as a body to view the appearance of the
Hall and Abbey after the national solemnity
has taken place. The appearance of these pro-
mising youths in a body would be an interesting
and affecting sight, and the impression on them-
selves would most probably excite in their minds
lasting associations of loyalty.
Shell-fish have been very abundant and excel-
lent this week. In one morning, 43,000jine lob-
sters were brought to Billingsgate market, and
all sold in an hour or two. This is the largest
number known, in one day, for many years.
Last night fresh lobsters were selling in London,
four for a shilling. Excellent bacon may now be
purchased, by the flitch or half side, under 5d
per lb. green, and at or under 6d. dried.—The
loss to the importers and wholesale dealers will
be considerable, at these low prices. Paris
would be as much astonished as delighted to be
able to procure these luxuries, and' enjoy them
in abundance at such prices.
MR. KEAN.—Accounts from New York, dated
June 5, say :—" Mr. KEAN has taken passage
in the ship Martha, which sails to-morrow morn-
ing for Liverpool. The managers of the Boston
Theatre have publicly disavowed the statement
in Mr. KEAN'S letter, that they had concurred in
his refusal to perform. They observe that it had
met from them all the opposition in their power."
—Refore leaving New York, Mr. KEAN caused a
monument to be erected in St. Paul's Church, in
that city, to the memory of his great predecessor,
COOKE, Wiio died in America.
The beautifol public monument to the memory
of the late Sir Was. PONSONBY, who fell at the
battle of Waterloo, is now in such a state of
forwardness as only to require a few more [mu•
terly touches from the chisel of BAILEY.
BRITISH GALLERY OF PICTURES, BY TRESIIAM
AND OTTLEY.—This exquisitely beautiful work
is acknowledged to be the grandest work ever
published in any Age or Nation. It is not gene-
rally -known that the Forty Sets in Colours
(each value 3200 to be given among the Prizes
in " TOMKINS'S Picture Lottery," are the only
Sets in existence, except a very few in the Sub-
scribers' Hands. The One Hundred Sets of
Proofs (each value 100/.) are similarly situated.
As the Copperplates are to be destroyed, the
work cannot fail to become very valuable.—The
Drawing of this interesting Lottery will take
place in a few Days. Every Connoisseur and
Lover of the Fine Arts, therefore, should pur-
chase Tickets without delay.
