The business of the Coronation occupies Par-
liariTent incidentally every evening. Mr. Brougham
last night replied satisfactorily to Lord London-
derry's complaint that her Majesty's legal ad-
viseis had not presented her claims earlier, by
showing that the claims were_ asserted within 11'
days after the Proclamation-for the King's Coro-
nation had been made. Uowever, it did not
need the presentation of her Majesty's Memorial
to inform .Ministers that she meant to assert her
right to the same homage as had been usually
paid to ProteStant Queens .of . England., Minis-
ters. Were of course aware of, this event before.
they received the Memorial, unless they thought
that their striking out her Majesty'sname from the
Liturgy disqualified her from claiming any other
distinguishing mark of her high station.

NORNING POST.]

The Earl of Darnley made ids promised mo-
tion in the House of Peers last night on the sub-
ject of the Public Expenditure, and endeavoured
to sho-w;that reductions to the amount of two
millions and an half might be effected in our
present Establishment. He admitted, however,
that most of the objects on which those reductions
wciuldfall,- were useful, and only contended that
-th-ey were not absolutely necessary at the present
moment, and might be suspended (not given up)
_till happier times should arrive. He then Moved
an Address to his Majesty, embodying his views
of the subject. The Earl of Liverpool, in a short
but argumentative and satisfactory Speech, proved 1
that the Noble Lord had only shown one side of
the-picture, and that each proposed reduction, in-
stead of producing a saving to its nominal amount,
wool' rlo -little-more. than create a load of dead
expenditure to the country .in the shape of
half-pay old pensions, , for which no services
'would be performed. His Lordship also stated
.the highly gratifying fact, that not our silk ma-
nnfactures_ alone, but all our branches of na-
tional industry were now in a flourishing
,pros-
• porous condition, and that none of them was
certainly in a bad state. He: then moved an
'arneL:flment to the' original Address, similar to
_that carried by Mr. 'Bankes in the Commons,
and giving.a pledge:of the -sincere_ intention of
his MAjesty's Government to carry retrenchment
'as tar as will be consistent with safety to the
State and justice to individuals.. This• amend-
ment was agreed .to nem. disc. • •

The commercial world must be highly gratified
to learn that the Loyd Chancellor pledged him-
, self distinctly
_las(aght in the House of Lords,
'brat he, will, early in the next Session of Parlia-
ment, introduce a Bill for amending the .present
ayStcrn of laws relating to Bankrupts. 'The innu-
merable grievanCes of this system, the complexity
of the proceedings under it, the enornio'Us expenses
tharare necessarily incurred in purstling the re-
medy granted by these lawS to- creditors, and the
extreme severity with whiCh their provisions -are
son:let:ales enforced by vindictive creditors against
_honest but unfortunate men, hale long' demanded
the interposition of the Legislature. Attempt's
have occasionally. been made rnboth 'houses of
, Parliament to correct the evils, but hitherto they
have been unsuccessful, chiefly, as it wonldseem,
consequence of .the advanced . period of the
Session :at which the Bilis have been 'submitted
to the notice of Parliament. Battik' promise made
. last night by the Lord Chanceller'offers the best
:hopfis- thata-ternedy. will speedily he'-applied to
meet the errors and abtises of the" system. There
is no individual in the,empire who is so Well qua—
jified to undertake the task of revising and. alter-
ing the present laws as Lord Eldon. Ills great
iexprtience„ extensive knowledge, excellent un-
derstanding, and. patient industry, mark him opt
especially for such an undertaking ; and his
.-Lordship has further engaged that he will intro-
duce his Bill et a period sufficiently early in the
SessiOn -to enable Parliament to examine the de-

tails of ,the measure with the attention that so
important a subjectimerits.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.] .
The subject of the Queen's right to be crown-
ed along with the King was again brought before
the House last night. Our readers will recollect
that Lord Londonderry on SatUrday imputed
great blame to her Majesty's Counsel for their de-
lay in preferring her claim of right. Mr. Brougham
shelved,
.in a most satisfactory manner, that
her Majesty's Advisers were chargeable with
no improper delay ; that they would not
have been justified in taking any steps on
behalf of her Majesty till the 12th of June, and
that the interval" which had elapsed between the
12th and the day when the first memorial was
presented was not more than sufficient for the
necessary researches. Another memorial from her
Majesty, praying to be heard by her Counsel, was
presented yesterday morning, and it was stated by
Lord Londonderry, that his Majesty had been ad-
vised "to consider that application not as relating,
to a matter of right, but as one of grace and fa-
vour, and that his Majesty had consequently
given orders, that her Majesty should be heard by
her Counsel." It was not, however, stated that
any day had yet been fixed.- The conduct of
Ministers throughout this business is altogether
inexplicable. If we were .to believe Lord Lon-
donderry, though they long ago decided that the
Queen should not be crowned along with the
King, they are yet unable to determine whether
or not she has a right to be crowned. The pro-
cess of investigation into the legality of her Ma-
jesty's claim, began only after the reception of
her first Memorial, and the issue of the question
will now depend on the decision of the Privy
Council. Ministers then have thought proper to
advise the Crown to adopt a certain course, with-
out regard to its legality ; and should a decision
be pronounced in favour of her Majesty's claim,
the King must either abandon that course, Dr pur-
sue it notwithstanding its illegality.

On Saturday the ROYAL SOCIETY and BOARD
OF LONGITUDE assembled at the Royal Obser-
vatory in Greenwich Park, according to annual
custom, to inspect the various instruments ofl
science, &c. belonging to that establishment;
and after a full investigation, the several Noble--
men and Gentlemen repaired to the Crown and
Sceptre, where an elegant and sumptuous dinner,
consisting of white bait, turtle, and every deli-
cacy, was provided,--Sir HUMPHREY DAVY i❑
the Chair. After the cloth was removed, the
scientific Chairman proposed the health of " The
King," at the same time passing a high ,tribute
of gratitude to his MAJESTY, as the patron and
promoter of science, and under whose auspices
there was no doubt but that the most extensive re-
searches would take place. This toast was received
with the most enthusiastic expressions of loyalty
and repeated huzzas. Sir 11. DAVY then pro-
posed the health of the Board of Admiralty,
whom he highly complimented for their liberal
equipment of the several expeditions that have
recently been undertaken, both iu the polar re-
gions and other parts of the globe, for the exten-
sion of science, and for their readiness on all occa-
sions to assist every endeavour submitted to them
for that purpose. Sir GEORGE COCKBURN, in
neat and appropriate speech, in the name of his
colleagues, returned thanks for this very flatter-
ing mark of approbation, and assured the com-
pany that such Officers as possessed science were
always, and would be carefully selected, for car-
rying into effect every practicable measure for its
completion, and assured the Society that their
measures would invariably be most cordially
seconded. The health of the President of the

Royal Society was then given, and Sir HUM-
PHREY DAVY returned thanks for—the distin-
guished mark of approbation. Several ,other
loyal and scientific toasts. and sentiments were'
then given, and the ,company departed highly
gratified with the day's proceedings. Among
those who were present were--
Lord Brownlow, Sir H. Davy, Sir E. Wale, Sir Stan-
ley, Sir Geo. Cockburn, Sir (If Clerke, Sir E. Codrington, Capt.
Kater, Capt. W. H. Smyth, Mr. Barrow, NIL Rennie, Mr.
Murdock,
,31r. Herschell, Doctor Wollaston, &c. &c. &c.

MEETPNG OF THE PROPRIETORS OF DRUR Y-
LANETHEATRE.—Yesterday a General Meeting of.
Proprietors was held in the Saloon of the Thea-
tre, for the purpose of receiving the annual state-
ment of accounts, eltcting an Auditor for the
ensuing year, &c. J. CALcnairr, Esq. M. P. in
the Chair. The Report of" the Committee was
read, which stated, that the Report presented
last August set forth that the debts of the Thea-
tre had been reduced from 92,4001. to 39,8001.
to which the sum of 13,9291. due to the sub-
scribers of the loan,,with interest being added,
it Would appear that the _debts of the establish-
meat at that.period amounted to 53,7291. From
this amount the sum discharged during the pre-
sent season by dividends and interest on the loan,
tradesmen fully paid off, is 93361. leaving a ba-
lance.due from this Theatre to every scrip-
tion .of claimants of 4-43.93/. namely, 14,799/. to
the loan and subscribing claimants, and 29.6141.
to rent-holders,. The Report went on to say,
that it appears from this statement the Theatre is
less encumbered at the. present period by 48,000/.
tha❑ it was two. years ago, when the present
Committee commenced their labours. The ex-
pose.of the financial state of the concern was re-
ceived by the 'Meeting with marked satisfaction,
and the accounts were • forthwith .approved of,
and confirmed. Mr. Alderman Wood was elected
Auditor for the year ensuing, and the six Members
of the General Committee who went out by lot,
were also re-elected ; the Sub-Committee was then
chosen by the Members of the General Com-
mittee, and the appointments confirmed by the
Meeting: On,. the motion of Lord Yarmouth,
a vote of thanks was carried by acclamatioh to
Mr. Calcraft, for his steady and unwearied ex-
ertions in advancing the interests of the esta-;
bliihment, after which We Meeting broke up.

The old mansion in St. James's-square, once
the residence of NELL GWYNNE, and lately of
Lord HOLLAND, has, .since his Lordship left it,
been completely modernized. A balcony has
been added to the.front of the spacious drawing.
room, and a handsotn.e _portico to the principal
entrance.
