CAMBRIDGE, JULY 27.—The Coronation Ball was held on
Friday evening last, at the Town Hall, and was attended by
upwards of 200 persons, among whom were several of the
heads of Colleges with their ladies, many resident Members of
the University, and most of the gentry and principal families of
the town. The Ball was opened between 9 and 10 o'clock,
and the merry dance was kept up with great spirit, until supper
was announced ; after which his Majesty's health was drank
with four times four, amidst reiterated acclamations. Dancing
was then resumed, and continued with undiminished animation
until half-past four o'clock on Saturday morning. The uni-
versal satisfaction expressed by every individual present, renders
it highly probable that an annual ball will be instituted in ho-
nour of an event, which has diffused such general feelings of
delight among all the inhabitants of the British empire.—The
Rev. Mr. Haggitt, of Ditton, entertained the labourers of his
parish and their wives, on the evening of the lath, with a sup-
per
in honour of his Majesty's Coronation. Tables were
spread for 150 guests in a meadow at the bottom of the rectory
garden, under the shade of two fine old walnut trees. The
party assembled at six o'clock, when they were plentifully
served with plum pudding, beef, mutton, &c. The table
cloths being removed, his Majesty's health and prosperous
reign was drank with many hearty cheers, the church band
playing " God save the King," " Rule Britannia," and other
loyal airs. After this, they who were disposed, stood up to
dance; the elder guests amusing themselves with looking on,
and such as desired it, having the enjoyment of their pipes.
The evening was most delightful, and happiness on every
countenance. The only interruption which threatened the ge-
neral festivity arose from some half. dozen persons on the river,
whose vociferations of " the Queen," accompanied with much
common-place scurrility, were not partimlarly in unison with
tile scene. But they were most unsucessful in their efforts to
ue mischievous, and it is highly satisfactory to find that our
unperverted villagers, hoWever they may deplore (and who
does not deplore) the misconduct, which no sophistry can dis-
prove, have yet the good sense to see and to acquiesce in its
inevitable consequences—an exclusion from that throne, to
which, for upwards of half a century, every virtuous woman
looked for her model of female excellence, and to which every
profligate one would be too happy to look for a countenance for
vice.

ST. NEOTS% MINTINGDONSTIIIIE.—The day of his Ma-
jesty's Coronation was in this town celebrated with much joy.,
The morning.was ushered in by the ringing of the church bells,
and as early as nine o'clock, a proportion of the principal inha-
bitants, accompanied by a band of music, paraded the town,
stopping at variousplaces to sing " God Save the King." At
eleven the procession proceeded to church, where divine service
was performed, and an excellent and appropricte sermon was
preached by tha Rev. George Freer. After divine service, the
inhabitants were again enlivened by the band parading the
town.—At two o'clock, the poor, to the number of 1,300, were
regaled with a good dinner and ale in the market-place, which
had been prepared for the purpose, and at four o'clock the
Gentlemen, and other principal inhabitants of the town, sat down
to an excellent dinner, under an open booth erected for the occa-
sion. After dinner, several excellent and loyal toasts were
drank..—" God save the King," " Rule Britannia," and
" Old England, 0 !" were sung with great enthusiasm.—The
harmony continued, without intermission, till seven o'clock in
the evening, when it was partially interrupted by some persons
denominating themselves the Queen's friends. Nevertheless
the utmost demonstration of joy was manifested throughout the
day. On the following morning, the harmony was resumed by
a band of music parading the principal streets of the town, and
in the afternoon a party of the inhabitants fitted up a barge,
and spent several hours on thq water.
