' The Commander-in-Chief has received the King's gracious
command to express to the troops employed yesterday, in aid
of the arrangements for the Coronation, his Majesty's thanks
for the orderly, soldier-like, and exemplary conduct which they
have evinced upon the occasion.
The Commander—in-Chief has received the King's further
command, through the Secretary of State, to convey to the
Light Horse Volunteers, the Honourable Artillery Company,
the Ist and 2d Bucks, the Surrey, and Berkshire Yeomanry
Cavalry, his Majesty's thanks for their services upon the same
occasion, and his full sense and approbation of the loyalty and
zeal which they have manifested in the offer of them.
By command of his Royal Highness,
the Commander-in-Chief,
H. TORRENS, Adj.-Gen.

Yesterday morning a field-day took place, of the Scotch
Greys and Lancers, at Wormwood Scrubs and Hyde Park,
preparatory to the review this morning and Wednesday.
- • The Pilot, Sophia, and Success transports, with part of the
85th regiment on board, which sailed from Portsmouth on the
17th ult. were all well, in sight of Gibraltar, on the 20th, after a
fine passage of 11 days, on their way to the lonian Islands.
The Albury transport, with part of the 15th regiment from
Halifax, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday. The Importer,
with another detachment of the same regiment, may be hourly
expected, having parted company the day before.
It is in contemplation to establish a Steam-packet from Ply-
mouth to Portsmouth ; the voyage will occupy from twelve to
fourteen hours. Passengers, taking coach immediately on their
arrival at the latter place, may thus perform the distance from
Plymouth to London in 24 hours.
Yesterday, the Royal Mid Lothian Yeomanry Cavalry, un-.
dell the command of Major Sir John Hope, Baronet, were
reviewed on Portobello Sands, by his Excellency the Com-
mander-in-Chief. The regiment went through various
evolutions and charges, with great steadiness and preci-
sion, and received from the Commander-in-Chief warm
expressions of his high opinion of their appearance and disci-
pline.—On Tuesday, the 17th, the Royal Regiment of Fife.
shire Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel
J. A. Thomson, were reviewed on Kirkcaldy Sands, by Major-
General Sir Thomas Bradford, K.C.B. Commander of the
forces in North Britain, who was pleased to state, that it gave
him the !greatest pleasure and satisfaction to observe that
this corps so fully maintained the high opinion he had
last year expressed of its order, steadiness and precision
in performing its various evolutions ; and adverted particularly.
in terms of the highest approbation, to the persevering and
praise-worthy exertions of the officers and men,
.which had
brought
.the regiment-to its present excellent state of discipline;
exertions ;which their conduct on that occasion evinced had
been crowned with the most perfect success. The novelty of
Lancers in this description' of troops adds much to the in-
terest which this corps has excited, which is one of the most
effective in Britain.—(Edinburgh Courant, July 21.)

WHALE FISHERY.-Sir WILLIAM CONGREVE
having, at his own expense, sent out some of his
rockets, on board the Fume whaler, Captain
SCORESBY, under the idea that they- might be
rendered extremely important in the whale
fisheries, the following brief communication of
the success of the experiment, just received, can-
not but be interesting to the Public:—

" Ship Fame,—all well, 24th June, 1821,1 at. 74. 40.
long. 14. W. amongst open ice and fish.
" Sir WII.LIA➢I CONGREVE will no doubt rejoice, nay,
letp mast high, on hearing that the advantage to the nation is
likely to be very great, on account of his rockets being appliel
in killing the whale. It succeeds beyond expectation.
" The results will be explained on arrival of his most obe-
dient humble servant, _

" WM. SCORESBY."
An Officer of Artillery, Lieut. COLQUBOUN, and
two marine artillery men were permitted to ac-
company this experiment, by the Master General
of the Ordnance, and the First Lord of the Ad-
miralty, and it is confidently presumed, that the
public encouragement thus given to the enter-
prise, will not be disappointed in a national point
of view.

TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN.
At the commencements held in our University on. Tuesday.
the 10th, the following gentlemen "of Cork City and County
" obtained the Degree of Bachelor of Arts :"—Hon. Mr. King
titin to the Earl of Kingston), Langer Carey, Edward Carey,
Montgomery, Forrest, Richard Lane, --O'Rielly,
and P. C. ToomeyEsqrs.
Mn. RICHARD THOMAS PEMBROCX POPE.—We rejoice
at having-an opportunity of adding one more distinguished
name to the list of young Gentlemen of this City who re; en ly
attained. academic honours. Mr. R. T. P. Pope, the son of
our justly esteemed fellow citizen, Thomas Pope, Esq., re-
ceived lately three Divinity Prizes—one very high premium
for excellent answering in a strict, extensive, and most im-
portant examination—another of not less value, for a com-
position of extraordinary merit, upon a subject proposed--
and another for extemporaneous speaking upon a subject given
on the instant. Many of the most eminent persons in the
kingdom were present—distinguished as much for learning and
piety as for high station--amongst whom was the Archbishop
of Dublin. Mr. Pope's great powers were the objects of um-
versal admiration, One of the heads of the College was heard
to declare, that he never had witnessed, nor never expected to
witness, in so young a person, such extensive and profound
knowledge on religious subjects, such strength of intellect ii
judging of difficult points, and such elegance of composition,
as were exhibited by this young Gentleman.—Mr. P. is, we
understand, intended for the Church, of which he is likely to
become a brilliant ornament.—(Cork Chronicle.)

The timber work of the Abbey, Westminster-
hall, the platform, and the barriers, was
60,000 square feet, or 1,500 loads. The timber
used in erecting theatres and stages inarectly
connected with the Coronation has been estimated
at 80,000 square feet. The matting used on ac-
count of the Coronation was 14,000 yards.
