CORONATION PROCLAIMED,

Pursuant to arrangements, the ceremony of
proclaiming the Coronation took place this morn-
ing. By ten o'clock, Palace-yard, fronting the
grand entrance to Westminster Hall, was par-
tially occupied by Life Guards, the Marshalmen,
the Officers attendant upon the Heralds, and the
Officers of Police.

They were preceded by the Band of Trum-
peters, &c. When the Heralds arrived great
crowds of spectators were assembled. The
scaffolding erected in Palace-yard, and the houses
and windows in the neighbourhood, were filled
with elegantly dressed Ladies and Gentlemen ;
the streets were lined with carriages from West-
minster Hall to Carlton Palace ; and from thence
to the Mansion House the windows of every house
in the line of the Procession were occupied, and
the footway was blocked up by the unprece-
dented crowds of spectators.
Shortly before twelve o'clock the Heralds ap-
peared, mounted in front of the Grand Gate of
Westminster Hall, and a Life Guardsman leading
each horse.
The Proclamation, according to ancient cus-
tom, ought to have taken place within the Hall,
but the preparations in the interior and the scaf-
folding on the outside the Gate, rendered it ne-
cessary to make the Proclamation near the porch.
The Proclamation was then proclaimed " by
flourish of drums and trumpets" amidst the ac-
clamations of assembled thousands. One of the
Heralds then read the Proclamation of his MA-
JESTY, it being the same as appeared in Tues-
day's Gazette. This was succeeded by a further
flourish of drums and trumpets, played according
to the ceremony prescribed on such occasions.
The procession then formed, and proceeded
towards Temple Bar, passing along Parliament-
street, Charing Cross, and the Strand.
Mr. LEE, the High Constable of Westminster,
attended by the parish constables of West-'
minster and a number of Bow-street officers, went
first. They were followed by the Guards and
'the Heralds with their mace bearers, and other
officers succeeded.

On the Procession arriving at Temple Bar, a
mob of ill-looking fellows set up a shout of
CC the QUEEN !" which was answered by the
more respectable part of the crowd, with
shouts and acclamations, and cries of " the
KING !" The Proclamation being read, they
again shouted, CC The KING for ever !" and the
few who cried " QUEEN!" and hissed, were
scarcely audible. When the Herald concluded
the Proclamation with " God save the King,"
the Band struck off with the National Anthem,
amidst the waving of handkerchiefs and loudest
plaudits of an immense multitude.
The Procession then passed along Fleet-street,
Ludgate-hill, Cheapside, Lombard-street, down
Gracechurch-street, to the Royal Exchange,
where Proclamation was made a third time.

Proclamation was made at Westminster by
RALPH BICKNELL, Esq. Norroy King at Arms ;
at Temple Bar by GEORGE MARTIN LEACH,
Esq., the Chester Herald ; and at the Royal
Exchange by JOSEPH HAWKER; Esq Richmond
Herald.

BRIGHTON, JUNE 12.—We are still without any
news at the Palace. There have been a few fashion-
able arrivals yesterday and to-day. The Prince
Regent packet, with thirty passengers, two car-
riages, and several horses, sailed for Dieppe yes-
terday ; the wind was brisk and favourable, and
a quick and pleasant passage, we doubt not, has
been the result. About 25 couple of his MA-
JESTY'S stag hounds arrived on Saturday, and more
will be here in a few days for the purpose of
being washed in the sea, the same as last year
and previously, when the ablutions were found
so salutary, completely removing what is term-
ed the canine distemper, arising often from
damp soils, and which affects and weakens the
legs of the whole pack. A fisherman, named
WILLIAM PUMPHREY, soon after he had left his
boat, and reached his own house to-day, was
seized with apoplexy, and almost instantly ex-
pired. He has left a widow and five children to
lament his loss.

Yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, the
Duchess of CLARENCE went to visit the School
for German Children, attached to the German
Lutheral Church in the Savoy. The Rev. Dr.
KUPER and the Rev. Dr. STEINKOFF accompanied
her Royal Highness, who remained in the School
near two hours.—Yesterday afternoon the
Duchess of CLARENCE visited the Duchess of
KENT, at her residence in the King's Palace,
Kensington. The Duchess of GLOUCESER visited
the Princess AUGUSTA yesterday.
At a Public Meeting held at Leeds, on Thurs-
day last; for the purpose of opposing Mr. SCAR-
LETT'S Bill relative to the Poor Laws, it was un-
animously resolved that a Petition on the subject
be presented to Parliament. The Meeting was
numerously and respectably attended.
ST. PAUL'S.—Yesterday the cross at the top of
St. Paul's was taken down from the ball. It was
a fearful undertaking, and filled the spectators
with terror to behold it. The ball is found to be
so injured from time, that it is deemed necessary
to have a new one.
