RECESS CLUB.----This Society, consisting chiefly
of the gallant Sons of Caledonia, assembled yes-
terday and dined at Freemasons' Hall. General
GORDON was in the Chair, and ROBERT
Esq. was Croupier. The Meeting was very nu-
merous, and was animated by that spirit of ge-
nuine patriotism which has wholly overpowered
all party distinctions and united the Britons of
the North and of the South in one common bond
of brotherhood and loyalty. We hardly need
add that, with such feelings, the day passed off
with the utmost good humour and festivity.
BarGwrorkr, JULY 17.—The Coronation Festi-
vities constitute the reigning topic here. The
bullocks, for roasting, are ready, and other mat-
ters are in a state of desirab:e forwardness. Bills,
descriptive of the intended sports, and their regu-
lation, have been posted up and circulated, and
warm are the expectations of a truly joyful and
uproarious day. St. Swithin promised 40 succes-
sive days of rain on Sunday, two of which are
already passed, but under circumstances every
way auspicious. The Royal Riding School.
in case it should be needed on Thursday, has
been put in a condition for the reception of com-
pany. The few individuals on the Royal Esta-
blishment left here,leave us for London by the ear-
Nest coaches to-morrow morning. Many persons
from Dieppe have arrived here to witness the
joyous countenances which the country will as-
sume on Thursday. Some of these have left us
for the Metropolis, and others continue here tu
partake of our local bilarities and exhibitions.
An armed brig has been at anchor in our road-
stead some days. To-day she has been gaudily
decorated with colours, and fired several guns.
To air and dry the former, and scale and cleanse
the latter, we conclude were the causes of both.
The 42-pounders on the battery will give us
some rattling salutes on Saturday, which will be
answered by whatever of armed shipping may
chance to be in this part of the Channel, as well •
as by the several pieces of ordnance to be plant-
ed on the Downs, announcing, as it were to
earth, and sea, and sky, and all between,
the actuating and glorious object of the day.—
The Coronation of Henry V. is in preparation
at the Theatre for Friday. The principal places
in the boxes there are already engaged. Smil-
ing unanimity, bordering on enthusiasm, is the
present order of the day.
A paragraph, in a Morning Paper of yesterday,
stating, that Prince LEOPOLD will pass the re-
mainder of the summer at Bognor, is not correct.
His Royal _Highness will set out on Saturday for -
Coburg, on a visit to his illustrious relatives, of
whom her Serene Highness the Princess his mu-
ther has lately suffered two attacks of illness.--

The Duke of FiIINAN-NUNEZ, who was Eve

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS.

July 19.

[MORNING POST.]
The preparations for the Coronation are now
complete, and this day will see George the
Fourth added to the Crowned Heads of Europe.
This should be of all others a day of peace and
joy, and nothing has been wanting on the part of
Government to make it so. The general demon-
strations of loyalty which we have had the grati-
fication lately to witness, leave us no reason to doubt
that such it will prove to the great body of the
people.—With respect to the Coronation itself,
it may appear very ridiculous to these enlightened
philosophers who extend their views for the im-
provement of mankind, not merely to the refor-
mation of the constitution, but to the dissolution
of all society; we shall only remark that for
many ages it has been thought desirable. It has
the sanction of those ancestors whose wisdom
our modern patriots are never weary of celebrat-
ing, in order to detract from the merits of living
Statesmen ; and we read in Scripture that the
wisest and best of men among the Jews did not
regard the ceremony as one that ought to be dis-
pensed with, These circumstances will weigh
little with those who make a jest of every thing
7enerable and sacred. We will therefore descend
from this ground, and contemplate it merely as the
means of furnishing employment to the lower
classes. When we look at it in this point of
view, and consider the immense sums which a
Coronation causes the opulent to spend among
the industrious, on this account alone, we
think we may be justified in regarding it with
satisfaction. Assuming the expence to the pub-
lic to be above the amount first calculated upon
by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, we still
think the important boon, thus accorded to the
working classes of the Community, cheaply pur-
chased, and we have no doubt that the comforts
which this grand ceremony will put within their
reach, causing, as it must, an extra consumption
of taxable articles, will benefit the revenue to
"'Dearly, if not wholly, the amount of the sum
which it will in the first instance take from the
funds of the nation. Viewing it, therefore, in
every respect as most desirable, we have only to
hope, that the pretended friends of the Queen
will abstain from any attempt to interrupt the
general harmony, that order and.universal good-
will may prevail throughout this most splendid
festival,

We have given in our last page a whimsical
production (see The StN of yesterday), called
the Protest of the Queen against the decision of
he Privy Council, than which a document more
weak or idle has never been published. The
sum and substance of it is nothing more than this
—the Queen thinks the Privy Council in the
wrong, and herself of course in the right. In
this, as in every other instance, law and history
are alike disregarded, and common sense set at
defiance. The Privy Council, after hearing the
arguments on both sides, came to a solemn deci-
sion that Queens Consort cannot demand, as of
right, to be crowned ; the Queen, regardless of
toe proofs of history and the precedents of law,
affirms " that by the laws, usages, and customs,
of this realm, from time immemorial, the Queen
Consort ought, of right, to be crowned at the
same time with the King's Majesty." Let those
who prefer the opinion of the Lady to evidence
of history and of Jaw, and to the decision of the
Privy Council, assisted as the Council were, by
the greatest legal characters, not only of this
country, but perhaps of any age or country, take
their choice. It is, indeed, a little whimsical,
to see her Majesty at issue, first with the House
of Commons, then with the House of Lords, then
with the Parliament altogether, then with the
judges, and lastly, with the Privy Council. They
are all, all in the wrong ; and she alone and
her advisers are in the right. It is very much
like the story of the maniac, who, when asked
why he was confined, replied, " I said the whole
world was mad : the whole world, in return,
said I was mad : but they were too many for me,
and so here am."—The protesting part of this
document ends, in fact, with the first paragraph ;
and all the rest is little else than mere angry
recrimination. Her Majesty, forsooth, can have
no justice, because she cannot have her own way !
it is the peculiarity of persons who incur legal
penalties, that they themselves never acquiesce
in the equity of their sentence ; arid we appre-
hend it would be one of the most difficult
problems ever propounded to the sagacity of
man,.to devise a system of criminal jurisprudence
which should be equally satisfactory to the
wronged, and the wrong doer. We are not sur-
prised, therefore, to find her Majesty in a predi-
cament so common to human nature ; but it does
not follow that, because injustice is clamourously
asserted, injustice has actually been suffered.—
strict justice has happily been rendered ; and
the country has not in this instance at least to de-
plore the indiscreet abandonment of a just and
necessary measure.—(lbid.)

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
Whatever may be thought respecting the pro-
priety of the expensive Pageant of a Coronation,
at the present moment of distress, or respecting
the shock given to the habits and ways of think-
ing of the nation in the violation of the immemo-
rial usage of always crowning the Queens Con-
sort, when in the island, along with the King, or
respecting the refusal even to admit the Queen
to be present as a spectator,—there can be no
doubt that this day's spectacle will, in several
respects, be one of the grandest ever witnessed in
any country. Perhaps there is no instance in
the history of the world of so immense an assem-
blage in any one place as will be collected in
Westminster this day. The population of the
Metropolis and of the contiguous Districts,
amounts alone to nearly two millions. From the
love of motion, which distinguishes the natives of
this country, and the facilities every where pre-
sented for gratifying this inclination, an incite-
ment like the present could not fail to be eagerly
'laid hold of, and accordingly crowds have for

some weeks been pouring in from all quarters of
the Metropolis, which in all its streets has every
day exhibited the appearance of a continual fair.
Foreigners of all nations have been forced to
concede to us, that England abounds with beau-
tiful females more than any country in Europe.
Callous must the man be, who can view without
emotion the myriads of the British fair who will
this day meet his eye in all directions!—ln the
lonely wilderness, man feels his own littleness,
and a painful feeling; takes possession of him.—
The strength of our species is in their union ;
and our sensations in large assemblies seem
always influenced by a consciousness of this. We
are drawn towards a multitude by a sort of irre-
sistible attraction ; the shouts of the multitude
powerfully agitate us ; and the presence of num-
bers gives rise to elevated emotions. The man
who may feel contempt for each individual of a
crowd, feels himself awe-stricken when he begins
to address them. The presence of others is
more or less necessary to the pleasurable exist-
ence of all of us—for solitude soon becomes op-
pres-ive even to the strongest minds, while to the
weak-minded and the ignorant it is at all times a
g Tie vous burden.

[sEw TrmEs.]
This day will be recorded in history as one of
national exultation and joy. The metropolis
will be alive with festivity from the earliest
dawn of day till long after the hour of midnight;
and in every town, and almost in every village
of the Empire, will general hilarity mark the
Coronation of George IV.—There was something
ungracious yesterday in the publication of the
Queen's Protest against the judgment of the
Privy Council ; but we do not wish to remark on
it with any asperity. The Protest of a party
against the decision of a Judge is at best an ab-
surdity. No doubt, every criminal that is con-
victed at the Old Bailey would protest against
the verdict, if protesting would do him any good.
A Protest of Appeal is intelligible, if there be
any tribunal to appeal to ; but where the matter
has been already judged en dernier resort, there
is no room for a Protest of this nature. As to
the personal act of the King, in giving his formal
sanction to the unanimous decision of his Privy
Councillors, if any objection be made to it, he
may well answer in the words of our immortal
Bard—

I have no farther gone in this, than by
A single voice ; and that not pass'd me, but
learned approbation of the Judges.
If I am traduced by tongues, which neither know
My faculties nor person, yet will be
The chronicles ofny doing—let me say
'Tis but the fate of place, and the rough brake
That virtue must go through. We must not stint
Our necessary actions, in the fear
To cape malicious censurers.
The Editor of The Times (an admirable autho-
rity, no doubt) has pronounced the Queen's
Protest 44 a most eloquent composition"—" light
itself !" Compared with his own dull pages, it
may perhaps be called eloquent ; but it has cer-
tainly thrown no new light on the subject. The
Privy Council, assisted by the talents of a great
number of Opposition Members, and by the legal
learning of all the heads of the law, thought it a
perfectly clear case, that the Queen had no right
whatever to be crowned. Her Majesty thinks
differently. That is the whole sum and sub-
stance of the Protest. She says her Law Offi-
cers have proved that other Queens have been
crowned. Be it so; but that was under other
circumstances—
KATHARINE.

This doth fit the time,
And Gentlewomen wear such caps as these.
PET RE EIIIO. When you are gentle, you shall have one too,
And not till then.
That will not be in haste.

riORTENSIO.

But to quit this trivial subject, on which so much
more discussion has been wasted than it deserves,
let us revert to the magnificent spectacle of the
present day. The ceremonial differs in some few
particulars from that of previous Coronations,
chiefly owing to the Union with Ireland, the es-
tablishment of the Hanoverian and lonian Or-
ders, and the extension given, a few years ago,
to the Order of the Bath ; but all these altera-
rations, as well as the considerable augmentation
of the Peerage in the late reign, will have the
effect of giving additional magnificence to the
show, while the excellent arrangements which
have been adopted for preserving order will
serve to display the whole to the greatest possi-
ble advantage. The weather, we hope, will con-
tinue as favourable as it was during the whole of
yesterday ; and if so, the Coronation will be a
sight worthy of so great an Empire, and of so
illustrious a Sovereign.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The splendid ceremony of the King's Corona-
tion, which is to be celebrated this day, will of
course for this day supersede every other consi-
deration, and occupy exclusively every mind
within the wide extent of this immense metro-
polis ; and indeed it must be allowed that the
anxious and considerate care of his Majesty, and
of those to whom the management of the public
amusement has been intrusted, has provided
ample means for gratifying the people during the
course of the next twenty-four hours. This day
will be observed as a holiday in all the Courts of
Justice, in the public offices, at the Bank and
the Exchange, and all the shops in the metro-
polis will be closed, so that business shall not
in any form obtrude itself upon public attention,
or divert it from the enjoyment of this great na-
tional festival. The ceremony of the coronation
itself, in all its parts, with the view of the pro-
cession from the Hall to the Abbey, will occupy
an immense multitude of persons. Hyde Park
will also boast of its attractions, and will no doubt
draw a proportionate multitude to view the exten-
sive preparations that will there be made for the
splendid fire-works of the evening. Bands of
music, stationed in different parts of the Park,
will occasionally enliven the scene during the
course of the day, but the most magnificent spec-
tacle will be reserved for the night, in the dis-
play of the fire-works, and the illumination of the
trees in the vicinity of the Serpentine River.—
The ascent of a balloon from the Green Park,
will not yield in interest to any of the amusements
of the day, while in the evening the Theatres
Royal will all be open to the public gratuitously,
and a general illumination will express at once
the affectionate loyalty of the people to the

person of his Majesty, and the interest they I
feel in the event which will this day be cele-
brated. The river, too, will be made the scene
of festivities. There will be a boat-race, and
several barges will be dispatched from the men
of war in the river to enliven the scene by their
presence. These boats, we understand, will be
employed in throwing rockets at night. Prepa-
rations so extensive will make the time pass away
pleasantly, and enable the people at large to en-
joy in some degree the amusements of a festival
which ought to be regarded as national. The
arrangements with respect to the locality of the
different points of attraction seem to have been
judiciously made for the purpose of preventing,
as much as possible, an inconvenient pressure of
the multitude at any single place.

PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

[From " The Leeds Intelligencer," July 16.1

The Privy Council, as our Readers must have
anticipated, have unanimously decided against the claim
of the Queen, to partake, as a right, of the ceremony of
coronation, with the King. This decision is, we arc sure, in
unison with the wishes of a vast majority of the people ; as it
must be in accordance with the opinion of every man who has
turned his attention to the subject. For we do not think
that Messrs. Brougham and Denman,—though, as lawyers,
they were bound to do the best they could for their client—dif-
fer very materially from the King's law officers on this head.—
It is, indeed, so clear, that the Queen Consort of these realms
has no right to be crowned independent of the will of the Sove-
reign, that we are surprised how any man can muster up suffi-
cient assurance to maintain that she has.—The Queen has,
however, announced her determination to be present at the Co-
ronation ; though she will not be crowned. We must be par-
doned, if we are rather sceptical upon this point—for we recol-
lect, her Majesty declared she would not accept the 50,0001. per
annum, settled on her by Parliament, till certain terms were
assented to. However, those terms were not gratted—no
notice whatever was taken of her Majesty's message—but—she
took the money ! After this, we may he excused, if we think,
that this magnanimous determination of the Queen (as Messrs.
Hume and Wood would call it) together with the attempt at
reviving her fast declining popularity, by visiting all the
minor theatres in the metropolis—aud puffing off the " enthu-
siastic" reception which there awaited her, in the papers
devoted to her cause—is only a miserable effort to excite
popular discontent, which will recoil on the heads of the
weak or wicked agitators. If, however, the Queen, high-
minded as she is described to be, can receive any gratification
in being present, as a spectator of a ceremony, from a partici-
pation in which she is excluded by her own misconduct—we
do not suppose any means will be adopted to prevent her from
enjoying it. But, if she has any regard for the good opinion
of the People of England—the real people—and not that por-
tion of it, who, corrupted by the base artifices of incendiary
writers and demagogue orators—were as ardent admirers
of the Radical Hunt, as they now pretend to be of the Queen
—she will remain at Brandenburg House ; and not add
another insult to the numerous ones which have already, thro'
her means, been heaped upon her injured King and husband.
Such conduct would not be tolerated in a private individual ;
we sec no reason why the exalted rank of the Queen should
screen her from censure, should she thus violate the rules of
decency and decorum.—As to the discontent which is said to
exist, at the exclusion of her Majesty from the Coronation—
we have heard nothing of it, except from those who have merely
availed themselves of the contemptible pretence of the Queen's
cause, to serve their own purposes, by reviving the disaffection,
which has nearly, if not entirely, subsided. But their base
practices will be of no avail—the loyal people of England de-
spise alike the pretence, and the men by whom it is urged ;
and the preparations which are every where making to celebrate
the day with magnificence and eclat ; and the eagerness with
which it is anticipated, by the truly respectable of all parties,
afford the best reply to their calumniators.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY M._

BEFORE THE CHIEF JUSTICE DALLAS AND A COMMON

JURY.
BEEACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.
HILLIER. V. DAVIS.

This was an action for a breach of promise of
marriage, brought by Sarah Eliza Hillier against
Robert Davis, the proprietor of the George Inn
at Eton. The plaintiff is a pretty woman, about
23 years of age, and became acquainted with the
defendant (nearly of the same age) about three
or four years ago.. She was then living under the
protection of a Gentleman by whose name she
was called. The defendant, perfectly aware
of her situation, paid her his addresses, and
agreed to marry her. Upon this subject he wrote
her several letters, addressed to her by the name
of Mrs. F., in one of which he alludes to the
day fixed upon for the wedding. The plaintiff
accordingly prepared for the ceremony, expended
1001. in clothes, &c. which she had sent to the
defendant's house for the occasion ; but which
he thought proper (having changed his mind) to
have returned to her on the following day—and
there the matter rested. The witness who proved
these facts was the woman at whose house the
plaintiff resided ; she also stated, that, except
with reference to the gentleman under whose
protection the plaintiff lived, Miss Hillier's con-
duct was most exemplary, she being a woman of
" double delicacy."
Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN, on the part of the de-
fendant, having called no witnesses, addressed
the jury in mitigation of damages, observing upon
the impropriety of enforcing a contract of this
nature, entered into with a woman in the plain-
tiff's unhappy situation, by a young man about
one-and-twenty years of age, who had been so
silly as to suffer himself to be ensnared by her
beauty. With respect to. the 1001. worth of
clothes which it was stated she had purchased,
if that fact were true (but no evidence
had been given of it), she still had the
clothes in her possession, which, to a woman in
her situation, were always valuable, and they
would answer for the Coronation to-morrow.—

The case was in the Jury's hands,and they would
judge whether the plaintiff was entitled to any,
and, if so, to what damages, under these very
peculiar circumstances.
The CHIEF-JUSTICE having summed up the
evidence, the Jury, after about ten minutes de-
-1 liberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
Damages; 301.
