THE QUEEN.--Her :MAJESTY has received. an
official letter signed by
_Lord SIDIVIOuTH, with an
apology for the mistake of sending- a letter with-
out a signature or address. Lord loon has
written to the Duke of NORFOLK, as Earl-Mar-
shal of England, informing him that it is her MA-
SESTY'S intention to be at Westminster-abbey at
halfspast eight o'clock OR Thursday morning, and
requesting him to have persons in attendance to
conduct her MAJESTY to her seat. Her MAJESTY
also has written a letter to the Archbishop of
CANTERBURY, in which she informs him of her de-
sire to be crowned some days after the KING,
and before the arrangements are done away with,
so that there may be no additional expence.
The Archbishop in his ansiver represents with
great humility that he cannot stir a step in the
ceremony, except in consequence of orders from
the Sovereign. It is proper to mention, that her
MAJESTY never thought of going to the banque(
in the hall, considering it unhecoming to be pre-
sent at a mere dining- ceremony, while she thought
it important not to shrink from the right of par-
ticipating or witnessing the solemn service of the
coronation in the Abbey. We may add, that her
MAJESTY is fully determined to go, and that she
is completely ready in ail the necessary points of
preparation.—(Times.)

The circumstance of Lord Sinmount's- Letter
being without a signature was purely accidental..
The letter was taken off his Lordship's table,
and folded up, under the idea that it was signed
as usual. Immediately upon its being returned
by the QUEEN, his Lordship's signature was
affixed, and the letter again forwarded to her
MAJESTY.—(Morning Post.)

KEATINGE, Esq. have had the honour of two in-
terviews with Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, re-
lative to his MAJESTY visiting the Curragh of
Kildare, on the approaching tour to Ireland ; the
KING was pleased to signify that he' was fully
sensible of the attention of the Noblemen and
Gentlemen of the Turf Club, and should time
and circumstances permit, that his MAJESTY
would feel considerable pleasure in accepting
their kind invitation. A grand and splendid
meeting will take place on this occasion.
We have been informed that it is the intention
of the inhabitants of Merrion-square to have their

seer has the meats, &c. taken away every morn-
ing at nine o'clock, since the work for the Coro-
nation commenced.

The anxiety about the approaching august ce-
remony of his MAJESTY'S Coronation seems to
create as much interest in the North as it does
here. The City of Edinburgh Steam vessel ar-
rived in the Thames on Saturday, with 110 pas-
sengers, who left Edinburgh on purpose to wit-
ness the ceremony. Amongst these were—Sir
WALTER SCOTT, and ,many others of rank and

gown, trimmed with gold lace.--(Edinburgh

SHIP NEWS.

Further accounts received at Lloyd's this morning of Vac re-
ported loss of the ➢utch Indifiman Arinus Marinus, from Ba-
tavia to Rotterdam

" Rotterdam, July 13, 1821.
" SIR-I beg to infOrna you that havir'g learnt from passen-
gers who arrived from Batavia in the ship Baron Van de Ca-
pellan, on the 10th inst., that there was every reason to sup-
pose the Dutch ship Arinus Mari :us, commanded by Captain
Ary Lringervrelcl, from Batavia to this port, was loSt near
Christmas Island, I addressed Capt. Purvis and requested him
to favour me with such particulars as be in possession
of, and who, by his letter of the Ilth, replied as follows :
" Sin—Agreeably to your request, I forward an Extract
from my Journal, communicated on the lth March by Captain
Boyle, commanding the Danish brig Sovereign, bound to Ba-
tavia.—On Feb. 7, near to Christmas Island, he picked up
four men from a wooden house; built between and still attached
to what he conceived to be the cable bitts, for the purpose of
landing an elephant ; the sea being then high he did not take
it in. They informed him that they belonged to the Arinus
Marinus that on the preceding evening, during a violeht
storm, after scudding some time under fore-sail, the ship be-
came dangerously leaky; all efforts to save her proVed ineffec-
tual.—An endeavour to get out the boats also proved abortive,
and I hope their opinion will prove unfounded, that the ship
must have foundered, as they were not aware of their dreadful
situation, or how they left the ship, or clung to the above-men-
tioned piece of the wreck. Captain Boyle must have been in
the vicinity, as his sails were all blown away, and ha had been
under bare poles all the night, labouring excessively, the sea
rising in tremendous pyramids on each side of the-vessel.-

the pleasure and orders of his Majesty. It is expected that his
Majesty will embark at Brighton. His Majesty's yachts the
Royal Sovereign, Sir Edward. Oven, K.C.B. and the Prince
Regent, Sir M. Seymour, K.C.B. arrived from the River, on
Thursday.
It is the intention of Government to retain possession of the
Island of Ascension ; for which purpose Major John Campbell,
Lieutenants Blennerhanctt and Aitcheson, (the latter of the

four gunners, a drummer, and fifer, with 13 privates, of the
Royal Marines, embarked and sailed on Wednesday, in the
Heron brig, Captain Hanmer, to garrison the Island for three
years. Ascension is almost a barren rock.

belonging to Members of the Royal Club, will compose part of the

gant yacht Louisa, the property of Lord Craven, and that fine
admired brig the Falcon, belonging to the Hon. Chas. Ander-

ward.

THE COURT MARTIAL which assembled on the 3d instant
on Captain George Rennie, of his Majesty's ship Tees, on
charges of cruel, oppressive, and unofficer-like conduct to-
wards the crew of the Tees, during thetime he commanded that
ship, concluded this afternoon; when the. Court pronounced
the following sentence :—The Court agreed that the charge of
cruelty towards several of the crew had not been proved against
the said Captain Geo. Rennie, and did adjudge him to be ac-
quitted thereof. But that the other part of the charge, inas-
much as it appeared that irregular punishments had been in-
flicted on several of the clew, had been proved against the
said Capt. Rennie, and did adjudge him to be dismissed from
his Majesty's service. The Court, however, felt themselves
bound to express their great regret that they were under the
necessity of adjudging so severe a-punishment by the33d arti-
cle of the Act made for " Regulating," &c. under which the
offence had fallen, especially considering the very high cha-
racter given Capt. R. by several Officers of the Royal Navy,
and the licentiousness, drunkenness, and great insubordina-
tion manifested by the crew, and the situation in which his
Majesty's ship Tees was placed at the time Of the infliction of
the same, and also his having been: actuated by a convic-
tion that he was exercising his authority in the most lenient
meaner ; and the Court, therefore, most earnestly recommend-
ed him to the' favourable consideration of the Lords. Commis-
sioners of the Admiralty."—The following Officers bore testi-
mony to the high character of Capt. Rennie for humanity,
officerlike deportment, and valour :—Rear-Admiral Sir A.
Dickson, Bart. ; Captains Raggett, Prescott, Doyle, Purvis,
Graham, Festing, IL Forbes., and Plumridge—Captain A. P.
Holies was President.

The Heron, 13 guns, Capt. Job Hamner, sailed on Wednes-
day for St. Helena, with dispatches for Rear-Admiral Lam-
bert, and Lieut.-General Sir Hudson Lowe, containing instruc-
tions for the reduction of the Naval and Military Establishments
at that island, and at the Cape of Good Hope, &c. We un-
derstand that the naval force on that station is to be reduced
very considerably, and the command given to a Post Captain,'
it not being intended to employ an Admiral there in future,
during peace. Rear-Admiral Lambert returns to England in
the Vigo, immediately. Sir Hudson Lowe and staff, and the
whole of the troops at present at St. Helena, are also to come
home, and the island to be garrisoned by the East India Com-
pany, as formerly. The Dock-yard establialiment at the Cape
of Good Hope is also to be reduced, and the office of Resident
'Commissioner of the Navy there, likewise to be abolished. The
Island of Ascension is to be permanently garrisoned by-the Royal
Marines.--(Hampshire Chronicle.)
