at the King's .Coronation: It was determined to
adopt the same form that was observed at the
Coronation cif George M. with the omission of
that part of it which was in honour of .the
Qti,EtN. The- Archbishop of Canterbury deli-
vered his sentiments, and a form of ceremonial
was orderer] to he drawn up for the approbation
of his Majesty. The Earl Marshal and the Lord
Great Chamberlain were present, and reported
to the Council the progress of the works in the

very numerous, many of them of the first rank.
Upwards of- 100 additional hands were., put on

ferent works, which are all to be finished this

sion to the galleries to witness the passing cere-
mony, exceed all expectation. His Majesty

point Mr. Dyrnoke, jun. to perform the office
of Champion as h;s Father's Deputy at the

pointed two train-bearers, in addition to

EFFECT OF IMAGINATION.—Dr. CLARKE, the
celebrated traveller, mentions, that in one-of the
islands of the Archipelago• he was severely
afflicted with an ague. The shaking fit came_ ou
daily at eleven ,o'clock in the morning : he col-
stautly expected its recurrence at this peritA.,
and it as constantly came. • One morning, how-
ever, his friends continued to amuse him, and
they sezretly put on the clack a full hour, so that
when he went to it, expecting the attack as
usual, and found it .nearly twelve, he was tralis-
ported with joy at the circumstance, and
his aa-
order troubled him no more !

DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE. MORNING PAPERS.

July 10.

[THE TIMES.]
The income and charge on the Consolidated
Fund for the year ending the sth instant, has
been published, and, we must say, forms an edi-
fying subject of speculation. The Pitt system
has heie been treated With as little reverence by
the idolaters. of that Right lion. Gentleman's
arid,thelegatees of his principles, as in the
C2.!..e of Vle Sinking Fund itself. The Conseil-
dat6tl pond of Mr. Pitt sheaved an annual and
growing surplus; the, synonymous fund of his
"disciplie3 betrays a yearly falling off, and a
grew ”g debt.:, just as the Sinking Fund has
bee-n de'troyed, the other fund marches ap-
parently to no less complete destruction. The
'2eflcT.;•ncy of the Consolidated Fund for the List
cilw.r`.er has been, upon the Minister's own slate-
ment, not far short of a million and a half ; the
deficiency was above ei4ht millions and
a so, here is a total deficiency upon the
Cc-:-..-I;dated Fund of nearly ten millions, for
wt;:::h the Treasury has no resource but to make
a guerterly loan from the Bank of England to
pay the dividends to the-public creditor.

[BRITISH I'RESS.:I,
The - account of the Consolidated Fund
,pre-
seats an appearance of.a most singular kind, and.
v7hich cannot fail to prove as inconvenient to.
tbe l'itinistersof the Crown as it is embarrassing
t.l the financial operations of the country. The
charge npon the Consolidated Fund has, within
the last five or Six years, been suffered to accu-
tratiate so enormously, that it has uniformly for
that -*ace' of time exceeded the income in each
r.necessive quarter; and:notwithstanding the re-
lief affOrdedlo it by the Act for appropriating
the current receipts of each quarter to the uses'
of the fund, a :deficiency has actually 'accumulated
to-:the amount of 9,846,757/.: The deficiency in
the last' quarter alone amounts to 1,328,730/.
We are really surprised that the Ministers should
have suffered the present Session of Parlianient
to pass away without, making Wile effort to re-
lieve themselves froM this inconvenience ; they
sietned-apprehensive of approaching the subject
as :Of their own motion,• but the promptitude
nith.- which the .Chancellor- of the. Exchequer
concUrted.-,in the suggestions lately made by
Mr. Maberly and-Mr. Grenfell,' and his willing-
ness that -Parliament should early in the nest
Session undertake a general revision of the
finance:accounts, .fosi the purpose of simplifying
tht,rn, evinced how sensibly the Ministers feel
the embarrassment of their-present situation. it,
I.s fa-ct-more creditable to the Bank of England
tilan,to the Ministers of the Crown, that the. pay-
meat of the dividends quarterly rests to'so great
a de;rree in the discretion of the Directors, that
should they refuse to accommodate the-Govern-
ment with the necessary advances, the public
credit., must experience:a-very alarming shock.—
S'ach a state of dependence is inconsistent with.
eti:cqfplity Of GOvelinment; but the. high charac-
ter, integrity, and patriotism of the. Directors of
the Bank, leave no ground for apprehending any
danger to the interests of the country. Such a
ftate of affairs, however, is anomalous, and we
are- sncerely glad that Parliament will turn its
aitention to the subject in the next Session;

NEW TIMES.]
The very documents relied upon, as evidences
of a substantive right in the Queen, prove upon
examination the very reverse. The oldest ritual
for the Coronation of a Queen in England is to
be found in the Cottonian Manuscripts, in the
British Museum. (Claud. A. III.) It follows
the Ordo Coronutionis, lEthelredi If. and is in-
troduced with the following Rubric : _

" Finit consecratio Regis. Quarn sequitur corilecratio Re-
ginzta, glue, PROP'fER 1101cORIFICEN T TAM, ab Episeopo
sacri unguinis Oleo super -verticerri confundenda est, et in e,
cler..ii, coram optimatibus cum contligno, honor; et regitt eel-
stitudine, REGALis Tilont CoNsouTiur, benedicenda
et consecranda est."

Clearly, therefore, this is a merely honorary
ceremony, it is not intended to invest the Queen
with any political• character, but to consecrate
her as a partner for the Royal Bed, and it has
been well observed, that the orie ceremony's
following the other, in the ritual, no more
implies a necessary-- subsequence of the act,
than if .in a common Prayer Book _--we
found " here eudeth the • solemnization bf
Matrirnony,and next followeth the Burial of the
Dead," -it could be inferred that every wedding
was to be concluded with a funeral. The Pon-
tificale of
_Rome, confirmed by the Bull of Pope
Clement VIII:, and printed at large in Selden'g
Titles of Honour, contains the ritual for Corona-
tions of various.kinds ; first for that of a. King;
then for that of a. Queen Consort crowned toge-
ther with her husband ; then for that of a Queen
Consort crowned subsequently to her husband ;
then for thatof a Queen- Regnant ;• and,
for that of a King Consort, the Qae:en Regnant
having been .crowned previously. The formali-
ties for a-Queen Consort are in both eases . intro-
duced hypothetically " Si Regina coronanda sit :"
and in both cases it is the King himself who pre-
sents her to the Bishop, and requests him to
C1'011) her; clearly indicating that it depends on
the King to have her crowned or not, and 'that
without .his presentation she cannot receive that
honour! The same is also expressed in the case
of a King Consort---" Cum Regina- jampridem,
ut Regni Domina, benedicta et coronata, dein:de
Gonsortem sibi elegerit; queen postea statuerit
where it is manifestly the Sovereign, .who
determines that the Coronation shall take place.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We certainly do not think the powerful case
made out for her Majesty, by Messrs. Brougham
and Penman, has been-in any respect shaken by
the speeches of the Attorney and Solicitor-Ge-
neral. The importance -of the object answered
by the Coronation of the Queen,and the constant
'usage from the most-remote antiquity to our own
times were satisfactorily established ; and with-
out. a departure from the rules observed in the
determination of all other questions of right, we
do not see how, the Coronation of the Queen can-
be prevented.—There seems, indeed, to. be a
much stronger necessity for the Coronation of
the Queen than for that of the King. " With
respect to the probable origin and "nature of the
Coronation of a Monarch," said the Attorney-1
General, " it originated, perhaps, 'in the fact-ofl
the Monarchs of thy, cbuntry, as well as that of
others,having been eleCted. Though the mode
of succession to the Throne was subsequently.
altered, then, as no's the Coronation was for
the purpose of the Monarch'S recognition by
the people, and on 'the part of the King to
enter into the solemn compact to preserve the
laws."' The A ttorney-General afterwards- ar-
gued from the case. of Calvin, in the thee df
James the First, 44 that, in fact, the. Coronation
was nothing more than a royal ornament and
outward solemnization of the, royal descent, and
formed no part of the title of the King to the
Crown ;" and that, as laid down by Lord Coke,
" the Coronation was only a magnificent cere-
mbny, which settled what the law'had previously
arranged and trade absolute." But the Corona-
tion of the Queen may' often be of the utmost
consequence for the preservation of a disputed
succession. This is particularly the case where
the marriage has been contracted prior to the'
King's succession to the Throne,, as in the pre-
sent instance. 44 If, -after the King was crowns
ed," observed Mr. Brougham, in his reply," he
celebrated his marriage, it was to be presumed
that it was a matter of such public solemnity,
as to give it Euflicient celelnation without other
testimony, but it was not so in a marriage which
took place before the- Coronation there then
was na such testimony, it might be Clandestine ;
but when a King, unmarried at the time of his
being crowned, solemnized afterwards the con-
tract of marriage, he did 'so as a crowned King
in full possession and exercise of his privileges;
land that act of his must" be of- great public ma,
I toriety, But if lie had married when a Prhice
',of the Blood, or if a mere subject, on whom the
.Crown afterwaras, deicetided, had contraoted
marriage as a subject,it might be dubious whether
the issue was legitimate or not. It should be
-rechlletited that the question of pre-contract or
consanguinity sometimes arose before the passing
of theßoyal Marriage Act, and besides the dif-
ficulties as to the law, there might be dis-
putes as to the fact; it might be involved
in great obscurity ; for all which reasons'it be-
' came of'the, first use and the greatest legal 'im
portance, for the quiet of the realm anti the secu-
rity-of the title, that the Coronation of the Queen
should give a solemn publicity to the contract.—
This was the original intention of the Coronation
of the Queen Consort, and he must repeat, it was
more essential' that it should be performed when
the Queen NV;IS ITedr:ipd at the time of the solern-
niaation of Cie Kiug's tiLlv, than When,,she be-
came his Consort afterwards."-
