Yetierday,
the Charity- Chliciren of the l'vfetiop'6.t
118 met at the Cathedral Church of Saint Paul.
Before the Prayers, they,sung the booth Psalm.
The reading Psalms were chaunted by the Gentle-
Men of the Choir, and the Children joined in the
Gloria Patria to each Palm.
After the first Lesson, the Gentlemen of the
Choir performed Te Deem ; and, after second Les-
ion. Jubilate Deo.
Before the Prayer for his Majesty. the Corona-
tion Anthem was executed by the Gentlemen of the
Choir, and the Children joined in thosa parts parts
of the Grand Choras which involved an inirncation
to Heaven to bless and preserve the King.
Before the Sermon, the Children sang the f.loh
Psalm, at the conclusion of which, that learned, and
(what is equally essential in a crisis like the present)
that liberal Prelate, the Lord Bishop of Norwich,
preached a most excellent Sermon ; in which he in-
clilcated the first principles of the Christian Faith,
with an eloquent ardour and sincerity, as flashed
eonviaion upon the infidel, and pointed out the road
t° forgiveness and eternal joy. He illustrated the
divine precepts of the Gospel to his young auditors
''itb perspicuity, grace, and feeling ; and taught
bthem, most emphatically, that the great secret to be
lest, upon earth, was in blessing others; and
that they who threw the fostering wing of protec-
lion over the indigent and the helpless, in the hour
Of their trouble, were sowing the seeds for an lin-
tnortal harvest that they would eventually reap in
Ileaven.

After the Sermon, the children sung four verses
of the 104th Psalm, when the celebration terminated
with Handel's grand Chorus of " Hallelujah ! for
the Lord God omnipotent reigneth."
It was computed that tittle were nearly 7,000
'hazily Children assembled, and 10,000 visitors, on
this very ',vadat:ere and interesting occasion ; and it
should be noted, to the credit of those who have the
are of the children's tuition, that they deported
themselves with the greatest decorum, and awakened
common sentiment in their favour.—ln truth, it
Was impossible to -survey so many little ones, thus
sheltered froth the approaches of guilt, and want,
w,_irld misery, by parochial b-nevoienee, and all raking
'leir voices to the Almig' ty, in choral gratitude,
and gladness, and humility, for the mercies that they
that
and acknowledged, without feeling emotions
'hat suftened and adorned the human heart.

The pradite of the Bankers and monied
thple for a length of time has been as follows, viz.-
11),-11 a bill is drawn on England, tt.ey begin by
taining nearly one-third of the amount, in
,uatte ot
44 exchange, and they refuse to pay the re-
raittler till they have received accounts from Ling- ,
,0,13 Scotland, or Ireland, of the bills being paid,
hsrlich information they seldom . acknowledge for
y months sometimes for years after the bill is
their possession.—In the mean time the drawer,
twriVed of all resource, is eithershut up in the most
tt e'theri of prisons amongst Mons of all descriptions,
twobliged to borrow money upon terms completely
te.4l°Ql-, seldom at an interest of less than 4 per
a„2t• per month, and that included in the bill when

inlnut if by any means the return of a Bill can be
Ltained which must often happen to people in the
trst situations, from precariousness of communica-
,e4 with their Country—the expences of Exchange,
i fe-e•rchange, Interest, t. lc. &c. is beyond all cal-
atlOn_, and frequently exceeds the whole contents
the Bill itself.

tor°visuires Arrets, which indeed apply only to un-
