PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

[From the " Birmingham and Lichfield Chronicle,"July -19.1

There is your Crown,
And he that wears the Crown immortally
Long guard it yours.

Such is the sentiment deeply felt, and enthusias-
tically uttered by every loyal heart and tongue in the British
dominions, on the solemn festival of his Majesty's Coronation.
It has been said, that there is not now a crowned Monarch in
Europe. It may be so; we are not prepared to affirm the truth
of the position, or to deny it. But be it so—England will be
a proud exception to the general rule. She will not swerve
from the ancient, significant, and religious ceremonial,by which
her Kings have, through a long succession of ages, received the
emblems of their Sovereignty over a free and loyal people, in'the
presence of God, and from the hands of his Ministers. She has
no cause to do so. Her King is never so safe, or so glorious,
as when surrounded by his subjects; and his subjects are ever
willing and ready to contribute to support the splendour and
dignity of their Sovereign. We said that the day of his Majes-
ty's Coronation would be a day of rejoicing and festivity from
one end of the British Islands to the other: and we calculated
rightly upon the spirit and loyalty of our countrymen when we
made the assertion. Since that great day of Jubilee, when the
whole nation poured forth their gratitude to the Giver of all
good for having preserved their late venerable Monarch through
a reign of half a century, we remember no occasion which has
excited so general a feeling of rejoicing, or Occasional such
ample preparations for a natonal holiday, as the Coronation of
George the Fourth. In every City and Town, nay we go fur-
ther, and say, perhaps in every village in the United King lorn,
some means will be found to shew, that Britons feel themselves
exalted by the glury of their Monarch, and that the affections
of his people are still the brightest jewels in his Crown. It is
delightful to sec the joy and gratitude of the nation shewing it-
self now as formerly in works of piety and charity. When an
Englishman's heart is glad his first impulse is to pour forth his
thanks to the great author of his blessings • his next, to diffuse
the joy he feels himself among his humble brethren by distri-
buting to them the means of merriment and festivity. Such are
the preparations in this town for this day's Jubilee. Odr
churches will be all open, and we doubt not crowded with
grateful worshippers ; and preparations are making on the most
extended scale of considerate liberality, for enabling all of every
rank to partake in the national feast.
The children of our several charity schools will all be pro-
vided with a dinner. The Sunday schools at their several
places of instruction, or in other situations more commodious;
the children of the national school in their own spacious school
rooms.

Provision has also been made for the comfort of the aged and
infirm, who will be feasted in the large premises of .11f. Beards-
worth, who has most kindly offered them to the Committee for
the purpose. And while those who could not safely be mingled
with a large assemblage are thus attended to, various stations
are marked out, where provisions will be plentifully distribuud
to the people at large. Every arrangement has been made
which prudence pan suggest to prevent confusion ; but the bcst
preventive will, we are sure, be found in the good feeling of
all our townsmen ; who will perceive that this should be a day
of feasting and gladness, not of disorder ; and will chew that
they know the value of the old adage " Be merry and wise.'
And will it be believed, that, on such an occasion, one heart,
will be closed against the general joy, or one eye averted with
the scowl of discontent from the splendour and hapPinos
of the scene which the Metropolis will then present.. One
there will be, one proud heart which is alike insensible
to shame and fear, and seeks only the gratification of its
own selfish and revengful passions, and when it has outraged
every feeling of female delicacy, and every duty of a wife, and a
subject, will glory in its spirit and magnanimity, and boast that
it has no advisers. Fain would we believe that this last boast
is true : that no Englishman can be foµnd so lost to a sense of
duty, as to advise that line of conduct, which some are neverthe-
less are found base enough to defend. Whether the meditated
insult to our beloved Sovereign will be attempted we know rot
—we care not, because we are sure that it will recoil upon a c
contriver ; because we know that our King is safe in the affec-
tions, and happy in the loyalty of his people; and that intro-
sion upon the solemn ceremonies of the day will be effec-
tually prevented. Strange indeed would it be, ifEngland's King
should not be crowned, because a furious woman wills it other-
wise ; and stranger still, if the sacred rite of his Coronaticti
could be disturbel at her pleasure. The Throne which foreigit
hostility never could remove, will not now be shaken by fe-
male;„ though all her State Officers, her Chamberlain and Pi'
be at her beck ; and all her friends, if friends she has, or can
have, be gathered round her to defy their King.—
His duefrom us is this Imperial Crown,
Which as immediate from his Father's blood - -
Derives itself to him—and put the world's whole strength
Into one giant arm, it shall not force
This lineal honour from him.
