THE CORONATION.

Yesterday the principal inhabitants of the parish
of St. James, Westminster, dined together at the
Thatched House Tavern, to celebrate the Coro-
nation of his MAJESTY, Mr. HAMMERSLEY, the
Banker, in the Chair. The table was decorated
with the most sumptuous provisions, and every
delicacy that the season could produce ; also a
great profusion of the choicest wines, &c. After
the cloth was removed, Non nobis Domine was
sung by Messrs. Goulden, Nield, Hawes, Clark,
Molyneux, &c. The Chairman shortly addressed
the company, giving the health of the King,
whom he was 'very sure every man must respect
as a King, and love as a man ; which was drank
with the greatest enthusiasm by the numerous
company present.

The following toasts, glees, &c. proceeded :—" The Duke of
York and the Army"—the glee, " Hail, Star of Bi unswiek"—
" Tie Duke of Clarence and the Navy"—" The Duke of Sus_
'sex and the Volunteers"—Glee, "How merrily -we live that
soldiers be"—" The Duke of Cambridge and the King4orn of
Hanover".—" The
.Duke of Gloucester and the University of
Carribridge"- Prince Leopold," with three times three.—
Among the excellent glees was, " When Order in this land be-
gan," by M azzinghi, to which the following new verse was added
by UEOTI.GE COLMAN, Esq :
" The glorious reign of George the Third
- Demands a Nation's praise,
• And with it may by Heaven be heard
The fervent prayer we raise.
May George. the Fourth on England's Throne
With equal glory reign,
And by his people's love alone
His sacred seat maintain.
. Thus round his .Throne may blessings throng,
Peace, health, with balmy wing;
•
And may this long be Briton's song, -
'God save great George our King.'" •

DEATH OF SIR. JONATHAN MILES, KNT.—Be-
ween four and five o'clock on Sunday morning,
Lady MJLEs was awoke out of her sleep by hear-
ing Sir JONATHAN making an uncommon noise ;
she shook him and received no answer, on which
she became alarmed and screamed for assistance;
the coachman; who happened to be up, and was
crossing the yard, hearing her Ladyship scream,
asked what was the matter ? She cried out, in
great agitation, "For God's sake come in, your
master is dying." The coachman called. up the
rest of the family, who repaired to Sir JONA-
THAN'S bed room, where they found him in bed
breathing his last. Several surgeons were sent
for, and Mr. DICKENSON being the nearest, he
arrived in a few minutes. opened a vein,
and tried every remedy to no purpose, as he died
almost immediately. Sir JONATHAN was in the
sixtieth year of his age, and in remarkable good
health and spirits the night preceding when going
to bed. An inquisition was held on Monday
morning on the body, before Mr. STIRLING,
Coroner, at the family mansion, in Ealing, where
he died. The verdict was " Died byte visi-
tation of God." •

WESTMINSTER ABBEY.

Yesterday a Concert of Sacred Music wait
given in this Cathedral in honour of his Ma-
JEST Y's Coronation, but for the benefit of West-
minster Hospital. 'lt was set forth as under the
KING'S special patronage, and its -liStof Stewards
numbered, in addition to the Dukes of YORK and.
CAM DR IDGE, a great many eminent public names.•
The Orchestral led by CRAMER, was strong; and
the Chorus consisted of 100 singers, including
those of the King's Chapel and the Abbey. In.
the front row of the orchestra stood a consider-
able vocal force, among whom were CAMPORESE,
BRAHAMI BEGREZ, ANGRISANI, VAUGHAN, MTS.
SALMON, BELLAMY, &c. The selection was
chiefly from HANDEL. The performance opened.
with a part of the Dettingen Te Dawn, which
was followed by Comfort ye, sung by BRAHAM.
The Anthem, composed by
_KNYVETT, for the
Coronation, a bold and skilful work, and a frag-
meht of the Creation, were sung by Mrs. SALMON,
BELLAMY, VAUGHAN, and the. Chorus.. The
general effect of the Music was singularly ins,
pressive. The height and extent of the Abbey-
give the finest advantages, for the evolution of
sound; the architecture allows no reverberation;
The ear is not perplexed with the return of sounds,
which once passed return only to confuse the har..
mony. The
.ascent of the whole superb voluthe is
unimpeded, and concord rises upon concord till the
dome is filled: The chorus For .unto vs• gave a
powerful example of this repletion of the air
with harmony. The bursts of .voice and instru-
ment rolled upwards like successive bursts of
thunder. The audience "seemed strongly de-
lighted with the performance of this magnificent
composition, but the decorums of the place pre-
hibited open applause. The second act com-
menced, with an overture by BEETHOVEN, a clever
complicated worli, well laboured through by the
orchestra. VAUGHAN sang " Lord remember
David," in a correct and even style. The second
Coronation -Anthem, composed by A TTWO OD, was
performed with more effect than had been al-
lowed by the bustle of the Coronation. Its sym-
phony •is grounded on " God save the King."
The Concert then proceeded through some po-
pular music, and closed with HA:Num.'s Coro-
nation Anthem, " Zadok the Priest." The choir
of • the Abbey and_ the galleries were
.filled.—
The audience were generally of distinction,
and all fashionably dressed. The Stewards
were attentive to the public accommodation, and
the Concert altogether gave high satisfaction.--
The Abbey remains exactly in the same state as
when the ceremonies of the Coronation conclud-
ed. The Chair and Platform of gold erected for
the ceremony of the Inthronization were inclosed
within a rail, extending round the steps of the
' latter, and the Sacrarium was also partitioned off
by a line of railing from the corner of the Royal
Box to that of the newly-erected Pulpit. Within
this latter enclosure. remained the Chair of St.
EnwAnn, the Altar and Communion Table, the
Litany Chair, and all the other appurtenances to
the late august ceremonial.• The Gallery over
the Altar,. allotted to Peeresses-, was now thrown
into the Orchestra, which, with the exception of
the-two first-:•aws of.seats, was entirely occupied
by instrumental performers of the highest charac-
ter. The chorus singers were stationed in the
galleries beside the Orchestra, and were not-
visible in the body of the Choir. Thus the
majestic -choruses of HANDEL, swelling as. it
were in their homes, along the aisles and arches of
this venerable Pile, came ;with ell their might
and grandeur upon the ear, without any visible
source or origin.
We sincerely congratulate the Conductors of
this Grand Musical and most laudable Festival,
heartily hoping that it will essentially promot>
the intended purpose. If we may be permitted
.to judge from the expression of the feelings of all
around us, we must declare that, in unison with
our own, we believe that they.were highly grati-
fied on the occasion. The two objects of the
undertaking were accomplished, 'that of winding
up the SOLEMN COMPACT of .the SOVEREIGN with
Ills PEOPLE,' and Of identifying with this glorious
ceremony the great work of CHARITY.

July • 25.

[ritE TIMES.:II
A singular degree of contradiction and obscu-
rity prevails throughout the whole mass of intel-
ligence which reaches this country from the
Turkish dominions and the parts adjacent. The
last Constitutionnel announces that it had receiv-
ed accounts three days before, viz. on the 18th
instant, that Baron Strogonotr was shut up in the
Seven Towers, and that the other Christian Am-
bassadors had- in vain demanded that the Baron
should be released,and sent -for safety to Odessa.
GC.This news," says the Constitutionnel, " we
" were forced by the censorship to suppress, but
" the Journal de Paris was yesterday permitted
"to publish it." If the suppression of such in-
telliffeoce by the censors arose from their disbe-
lief of its truth, the subsequent publication of it
may naturally enough be ascribed to.a contrary
iMpression. The fact, howeve-r, must still be
received with the caution due to its immense im-
portance; for the committal of an Ambassador to
the Seven Towers is an act of decided hostility.
—The French Prince de Laval Montmorency
beitig recalled from his embassy at the Spanish
Court, General Lagarde, it is supposed, will soon
set out for Madrid to succeed him. Every part
of Spain is said to enjoy undisturbed tranquillity.
Merino and Zaldivar, whose petty insurrections
haVe been completely extinguished, are spoken
of with the Contempt which past annoyances
-usually inspire. The clergy express their perfect
resignation, and preach universal obedience to
lite laws and Constitutional Government. The
-extraordinary meeting of the Cortes on the Ist of
"October, will be followed by that as a regular
`legislative body on the Ist of May; so that
'public business is likely to experience but a
brief suspension between the close of one
'session and the opening of the next.

[MORNING POST.]
We stated a few days since, that we had reason
to .believe the contest in South America at an end,
-in consequence of the complete submission of the
' Royalists. Every article of intelligence since
received from that quarter has confirmed our
statement. Kingston Papers to the 4th ult. ar-
rived yesterday, and brought fresh corroborative
accounts. According to these ad vices, the suc-
cesses of the Independents were so rapid in all
quarters, that they had become masters of the
cities of Caraccas and Lima about the same time.
The accounts of serious corm-notions in Mexico are
confirmed. A letter from Kingston, of the 4th
ult. mentions that. Commodore Padello had ar-
rived at Carthagena, with 37 gun-boats, and had
cut off the communication between the town and
th'e fortress.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
Report states that Ministers have already com-
menced the work of retrenchment to w hich they
stand pledged by the King's Speech at the close
of the late Session of arliament. The 91st,
92d, and 93d regiments of foot, and the 7th Dra-
goon Guards, are, it is said, intended for reduc-
tion: The complement of men in each company
of the remaining-regiments, and the Second Majors,
it is also said, will be reduced. The salaries of
the clerks in all the public offices are also to suffer
a considerable diminution. One report states,
that all salaries above two hundred a year,
are to be reduced 201. per cent. Another report
states, that the reduction will be on a graduated
scale, viz. all salaries from 200/. to 5001. a year,
a reduction of 5 per cent.; from 5001. a year to
10001., ,a reduction of 10 per cent.; and all.
above 10001. a year, a reduction of .15 per cent.
From the fall in the price of the necessaries of
lifc, particularly the article of bread, it is esti-
mated that the salaries thus reduced furnish
means of subsistence equal to their produce at
the time the parties became possessed of them.

FSIORNING CHRONICLE.]
It appears by letters from Odessa, of the 26th
ult., that a Turkish two-decker, one of the fleet,
in retreating from Tenedos, ran ashore and. was
burnt, that it.might not fall into the hands of the
Greeks. The Greeks have taken many small
Turkish vessels and have massacred the crews,
so that the warfare is horrible on both sides. Ge-
neral Count Wittgenstein, Commander-in-Chief
of the Southern Russian. Army, arrived at Odessa
on the 21st June. Ike 'said. that he would,be at
-Constantinople within two months; but though be
is a good Officer we doubt the rapidity Of his march,
as the -.Russians hitherto. have'never been able
to penetrate the Bulgarian mountains. The Army
under.his command is about 120,000 effective men.
Mr. Strangways, attached to Lord Strangford's
Embassy, arrived at Odessa on the night of the
21st June, having been prevented from pursuing
-the usual route to Constantinople. There was a
report of a revolt at Philopopoli, a city in the
direct line from Constantinople to Belgrade.
The Master of au Austrian ship, and four .others,
have been beheaded .at. Constantinople,"iti con-
sequence of an affray at Galati, on the Danube,
from whence .they *ere sent down in a Turkish
vessel as prisoners.. •

[MORNrNG HERALD.]
Ir strikes us that his Majesty's visit to Ire-
land will be productive of advantages far be-
yond the mere kindness and cordiality of the
moment. We rather look upon it as an event of
extensive and permanent influence upon the po-
litical being of that part of the empire. It will
(Jo more to remove from the general mind of the
Irish people the notion of their being an appendage,
or dependency of Great Britain,—and to estab-
lish and diffuse the consciousness of being not
an appendage, but an integral part of the empire,
than all the Acts of Parliament for consolidating
the Union, or indeed the Act of Union itself.
Acts of Parliament will govern the opinions as
well as the conduct of those whose minds, are exer-
cised and enlightened. But the most authorita-
tive mandates of legislative power, whether unit-
ing what was dissevered, or 'separating what
was united—though they may govern the acts,

will not controul the notions of the great mass 1
of a people.—lt is hy'something palpable—some-
thing which appeals to the very senses, that
conviction is produced .upon the great level of
mankind,—which feels impressions rather than
exercises thought, and is directed by sentiment
and habit more than by reason. When the 'leo-
ple of Ireland, with their lively imaginations and
susceptibility of impulse and impression,behold,the
King in the midst of them, and hear from his own
lips the language of. a Sovereign to his subjects,
the idea of being a dependent province, governed
by a Deputy, will vanish, and a greater stride
will be made towards a real consolidation of the
Empire, in heart and strength, as well as in law,
than by the many Acts of Parliament that have
been passed for that purpose for the 'last twenty
years.—lt is as honourable personally to the
King as it must be gratifying to his Majesty's
Irish subjects, that this visit is the mere notion
of the Royal mind—the sole act of the King ;
and it is pleasant to find that the arrival of his
Majesty is expected with correspondent and uni-
versal enthusiasm. Political and religious party
—the bane of that part of the Empire—have been
neutralized of their :Venom, and the whole people
welcome his Majesty with one voice, one heart
of loyalty and affection. We are quite sure
the traces of his Royal visit will not be obli-
terated.—lt will give a blow to low squabbles,
intrigues, and party bigotries, from which they
will never recover. It will have a perma-
nently healing and harmonizit, effect. The libe-
rality, truly constitutional, with which his Majesty
surrounded himself at his Coronation, with rank
and worth, without distinction of party, will, no
doubt, characterise his visit to Dublin. The
low 'political jobbers and intriguers, of whatever
complexion, will be interdicted from the Royal
presence ; but, if we are rightly informed, his
Majesty will find in Dublin, independently of
those who 'are known in the British Court and
Parliament, men worthy and capable of sharing
the society of an accomplished and enlightened
Prince from among the higher Gentry, the
Church, and the Bar: It is unnecessary to dwell
upon the immediate benefits which must accrue
to the industrious classes, from the increased
circulation Of wealth, and consequent activity of
trade. Even in this respect the effect will be
permanently beneficial upon the Irish capital.—
The Court there will henceforth be a Royal ra-
ther than Vice-regal centre of resort for the rank
and fashion of the country ; and as this will pro-
bably not be the sole visit, hut one of his Ma-
jesty's many happy visits to that part of• the
United Kingdotn,' it .may somewhat diminish
what the Irish frequently deplore—the number
of absentees.
