CORONATION FESTIVITIES.

Public dinners are advertised to be held at the
Roe Buck, Newcastle ; at the Swan, Hanley ;
and in the Union Hall, Lane-End ; and the event
will be otherwise celebrated by processions, &c.
in the different towns of the district.

The magistrates of Edinburgh have deemed it
advisable to issue a proclamation, sanctioning a
general illumination on Thursday next, in com-
pliment to the memorable occasion of their Ma-
jesties' Coronation, which takes place on that day
in the metropolis. The timely notice now given
will prevent any persons from being taken by our-
prise, and we trust that the good sense and feeling
of the working classes will prevent them from in-
dulging in any of those wanton acts of devasta-
tion of property, which, on former occasions, have
afforded such a handle of reproach, and tended to
inflict a stain upon their character.
As far as relates to the city of Worcester, all
that we can at present learn with regard to the
0‘ special observance" of the day, is, that it has
been arranged that the Corporation, accompanied
by the various Companies and Lodges, with the
National and other Schools, shall go in procession
to the Cathedral, where a sermon, appropriate to
the day, will be preached, and a Coronation an-
them performed. There is to be no public ban-
quet at the Guildhall, as upon the Coronation of
Geo. IV. but we are requested to state that a
dinner in honour of the occasion, will take place
at the Star and Garter Inn, and that a highly re-
spectable list of names of gentlemen, intetwling to
be of the party, has already been formed.
A committee has been formed at Manchester for
arranging a splendid procession, the programme
of which occupies a full column f the Manchester
Advertiser. It will consist of alt the authorities,
the Sunday schools, the Military, the Mail
Coaches, Firemen, and the Members of twenty-
nine trades, besides six societies of Freemasons,
Foresters, &c. The whole will be under the con-
duct of Messrs. Harbottle, Wilcock, Sharp, and
Prest. James Burt, Esq. the Boroughreeve,
acts as chairman ; it seems likely to vie with the
pageant of London itself. _ _

- At Bungay, " on the river of Waveney," the
good people, after many long and grave discussions,
came to the resolution, that effigies of the King
and Queen should be drawn about the streets by
sailors, and that " all the inhabitants, horse and
foot," should form a procession.
At Bath, the Corporation came to a resolution,
that in lieu of illuminating the ppublic buildings,
1001. should be gi►en se the 6ensral Hospital,
and the inhabitants were' called upon to. give to the
same institution a sum equal to the expence of
illuminating their houses.
At Bristol, the Mayor and Corporation, accom-
panied by the principal citizens, and the Trades
Societies, will go in procession to the Cathedral.
At Coventry, a procession and an illumination.
At Norwich, economy is the order of the day.
The Corporation having expended 7001. on the
Coronation of George IV. dread a similar outlay
on the present occasion, and seem disposed to let
the day pass off quietly.
At Oxford there is to be a general illumination.
At Chelmsford, a public meeting was held on
the subject, at which it was urged by some mem-
bers of the Society of Friends that there should be.
a subscription, and that the money should be em-
ployed in the entertaintment• of the poor, to the
exclusion of fireworks and illuminations.

At Doncaster, a substantial dinner will be given
to the poor in the Parsonage yard, where four
tables will be erected, each 50 yards in length.—
The provisions, deo; orde►ed for the feast, consist
of 172 stones of beef, 500 gallons of strong ale,
2800 loaves of bread, 200 plum-puddings of 41b.
weight each, 1000 pint mugs, and 1000 gill megs,l
with " W. and A+" surmounted by a crown on
each. There will be a grand civic procession, and
a ball and supper at the Mansion-house.
BEVERLEY.—On Thttraday next, being the
Coronation day, there will be 'a procession of the
corporation end such of the townspen as may
choose to join, from the Guildhall to St. Mary's
Church, where a sermon will be preached on • the
occasion. A dinner will afterwards take place at
the Beverley Arms Inn.
The approaching coronation seems to occupy so
much of public attention, that we may hope to see
that next Thursday will, throughout the Potteries,
be marked by a becoming regard to the great na-
tional event which will then be celebrated in the
metropolis.
We are glad to find that the poor will not be
forgotten on this joyous occasion, An application
having been made to Samuel. Wright, Esq. our
worthy chief bailiff, to propose some plan by which
the inhabitants of these townships might testify
their respect for our gracious sovereign and his
amiable consort, be suggested the benevolent one
of making glad the hearts of poor widows and aged
persons, by providing them with some sort of a
treat.

At Stafford, there will be feasting and rejoicing.
The members of the liberal club, with as many of
their townsmen as will do them the honour to join
them, win, on that day, dine at the George. Inn,
Johu Shaw, Esq. Mayor, in the chair.
At Dudley, and many other towns, it has -been'
determined to celebrate the day by combining the
commemoration of the fiftieth year of the mind).

dren belonging to the Church Sunday Schools will

where they will have ample scope for enjoyment ;
the children belonging to the Wesleyan Sunday
Schools will be taken to the Albion-street Chapel.
After the procession, a large party of the friends
of the schools will partake of tea, in the Wesley-
place school-room. Lord Dundas will be obliged
to attend the Coronation :—nothing therefore will
be done by the Corporation as a body, owing to
the absence of their bead ; but there will be a
public dinner at Etridge'shotel,—and a Ball in the
evening, which will be on the plan of the Orange
Boven ball ; an entertainment many of our readers
will remember, and we have no doubt it will be
spiritedly conducted. Several ladies of the city
and neighbourhood will patronize this entertain-
ment.

Myton, Sept. 2, 1831.
Slr,—l am sorry I cannot, as I fully Intended, dine at
your house with the gentlemen of the neighbourhood, on
the day of the Coronation.
I have ordered the fattest 0: in Myton Pasture to be
killed, and invited every man and woman in the pithh to
dine with me on that day, and drink the health of his Ma-
jesty King William the Reformer.

joicing and comfort to the poor.

BETTERING THE CONDITION OF THE POOR.
A Society has lately been established its the
little township► of Adderbury East, in the county of
Oxford, for meliorating the indigent condition of
their rural population. The regulations which have
been drawn up for the accomplishment of this de-1
sirable purpose are so well calculated to produce all 1
the benefit intended, that we are induced to publish,
a portion of them as an incitement to the well-dis-
posed in other districts. The fourth regulation is
extremely well devised; for how many industrious
labourers would be glad to have a pightle to culti-
vate, if they had but the means to procure tools and
seed ?

" 2nd. That five acres of land conveniently si-
tuate be rented by the Committee, the take to com-
mence from Michaelmas, 1830.

"3rd. That the land shall be underlet to certain
poor persons whom the Committee may Meet, at
25 shillings per half acre, including all rates and
other charges, and that the quantity let to etch
person shall be half an acre or thereabout*.
"4th. That the Committee' shall open' an stitcotint
with every tenant in books to be provided for the
purpose. They shell advance money for seeds,
tools, or whatever else may be Urgently wanted• by
the tenant, on the credit of his crop, to bf repaid
before the crop is taken off.
"sth. That the tenant shall not be allowed tobave
two white crops in succession, and that he'sball lay
upon the laud not less than five cart loads of good
dung in every year.
" 6th. That if the tenant be found working on
his land on the Sabbath, or in his master's time, or
shall be convicted of any misconduct, be shall be
liable to be dismissed from his land by the Committee
on a month's notice, and-the Committee shell have
a valuation of his crop made by disinterested per-
sons which shall be binding on both parties, and
the balance due to the tenant (if any) be imme-

diately paid.
" 7th. That each tenant be required to subscribe
:his name to the following terms :
I, A. B. do engage, in considcnition of being
'allowed half an acre of ground from the committee
for bettering the condition of the poor, that I will
diligently cultivate the land so long as I bold it,
according to the direction of the committee, and
also to manure it to their 'satisfaction. I will pay
the rent punctually either in money or produce, as
well as the amount of any advance that the com-
mittee may make upon my crops for manure, tools,
seeds, &c. the produce in all cases when taken by
the committee being valued between us by disin-
terested persons, and 1 agree to abide by such va-
luation. I also agree that the committee shall have
a right to to take posiession of the land immedi-
ately, upon paying me what may appear due on a
valuation as aforesaid, if in the opinion of the com-
mittee I neglect to cultivate the land, or to manure
it properly, (one month's previons notice of such
neglect having been given me in writing) or if I
neglect to take off the crop after nodes, or if my
moral conduct shall justify them in taking the land
from me. Signed this day of
The remarks which conclude the notice of this
little society are not the least important part of the
subject.
" It is with increased pleasure (say* our con-
temporary) that we are enabled to state that this
little plantation is in a highly flourishing condition.
The plots of ground are (according to the judg-
ment or convenience of the occupants) planted with
wheat; barley, beans, potatoes, and culinary ve-
getables, all of which crops are doing well. The
men are grateful and contented, and invite the
public to a itness their prosperity and imitate their
example."
The men are grateful and contented ! What re-
sults can be more cheering—what inducements
more stimulating—than in thus raising the droop-

deavours requited by examples of gratitude and
expressions of contentment !—County Chron.

COWLS, SEPT. 3.—Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess
of Kent and Princess Victoria, on Tuesday afternoon, took
a rowing excursion on the river Medina. On Wednesday
their Royal Highnesses were afloat in the Emerald, and on
passing Cowes Castle were saluted. On Friday took an
airing in their carriage in the Castle grounds.
PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 3.—The Muter-General of the
Ordnance, General Sir James !tempt, G.C.B. arrived here
on an official visit on Tuesday, and proceeded to Winchester
yesterday.
The Idoard of Ordnance has wholly abandoned the inten-
tion of disposing of Sandown Fort in the Isle of Wight.
Letters have been received from Malta, dated sth of Au-
gust. The St. Vincent, Captain Senhouse, with the fLig of
Sir H. Hotham, and Belvidere, Ilan. deptain Dundas,
were then lying at that atchorage.—llarapshtre Telegraph.
Po RISMOUTH.—The two line.of-battle ships,. I% el.
Ilesley and Talavera, which were ordered suddenly to the
Downs on Saturday last, sailed on Monday. The object
for which they were thither despatched not having been ge.
nerally known excited much speculation in London in the
early part of the week ; it was, however, to convey the 89th
Regiment to Plymouth. They anchored in the Downs on
'Tuesday, and on Thursday (the troops having embarked)
they quitted that anchorage, and must have arrived at Ply-
mouth last evening. At Plymouth they will receive on
board the reserve companies of the 7th and 35th ments,
and return with them to this port. Yesterday the
Curacoa, and Victor were ordered to proceed to sea to try
their rate of sailing with the Winchester, 52, Capt. Lord
Wm. Paget. They will sail, under the particular orders of
Rear-Adm. Parker (who will hoist his flag in the Barham),
to-morrow intoning (Sunday) at day-light. After a short
trial the Winchester will promed to Bermuda, and the
. others return tto' this port. The Alfred, 52, Captain Mann.

frA4IAN OPERA ROUSE.
Mr. Month Mason, the new lessee of the King's Theatre,
has published a • a of the plan intended to be pur-
sued in eked' dike Theatre; in which he states that
the alterations he intendi to introduce are reducible to two
classes—" the general comfort', and the dramatic euellenee
,of all and everything connetted.with the establishment." To
, attain these objects he proposei the following improvementst
The Theatre shall be opened to subscribers and the public
:fbr the usual number of nights, and the performances shall
begin at the hours of eight on the evenings of Saturday, and
balf.past eight on other nights. By this regulation it is not
intended to curtail, but to condense, the entertainments of
• the evening. The usual delay between the divisions of the
. various pieces shall be contracted as much as possible, so
that the hour of terminating wilitemain the same as here-
adore.
i The doors will be opened from one to two hours previous
•to'the performance, according ai the urgency of the ease may
!mid*.
No person whatever, upon any pretext, or for any coati:
tderistion, shall be permitted to enter the house (gallery ex.
*opted) unksi in full dress.
Dress coats and waistcoats, silk stockings, white or black
;handkerchiefs, with evening trousers according to the season,
are required on the part of
.gentlemen. Ladies are requested
not to come to the pit in toques, hats or bonnets. Subscri-
bers, or those who hire boxes, are exempt from these regu-
lathing.
No orders for admission will be issued, the public Press
alone excepted. Under the late system of management, all
the performers, chorines. and corps de ballet, together with
many of the servants workmen, and others attending upon
the house, claimed and received a number of orders tor ad.
mission to the pit and
.gellery ; these orders being vended
at a low prior, were the principal cause of that shameful
and disreputable deterioration which has of late years been
but too evident in the character of the audience frequenting
the ph of the King's Theatre.
None but those who subscribe by the year, or to the god
of the season, can secure a box, or place thetr names on the
outside. AU the boxes not let in this manner shall behind
only per night.
The house shall be newly furnished and decorated, with a
new drop curtain and chandelier. Backs wilt be affixed to
all the pit benches and the front rows of the gallery ; and
the whole shall be heated in winter, and in summer venti-
lated upon a new system.
No money shall be demanded by any servant of the
house. Cloaks, shawls, /cc., sill be taken care of, and
tickets delivered whereby to reclaim them.
hooks of the Opera, with the translations, executed in a
superior manner, and handsomely printed small octavo (in.
eluding the Bills of the night) shall be sold in the House
for one shilling each, by proper servants.—The refreshments,
tea, coffee, ices, lemmusdes, fruit, kr. shall be supplied by
the first confectioneri in town; at the usual prices of his
establishment.
None but bona fide subscribers will, of right, be admitted
behind the scenes. For the benefit of subscribers also, the
present committee-room will be fitted up sea lounge, where
the papers and other periodicals may be found outing
the day.
A grand rehearsal, to which subscribers and the purchasers i
of tickets will be admitted, shall take place previous to the
production of every new opera or ballet, or firse appearance
of every new performer. A committee, formed of the first
amateurs of the day and the must distinguished professors,
shall be established, for the purpose of deciding upon the
merits of every new work, whether vocal or instrumental;
these, according to their verdicts, shall be produced or
performed in the order wherein they have been presented for
inspection. The operas thus selected (whist' must be its
the Italian language), shall be rtprtiented •in the Great
Thane; and the imarumentd or detached vocal pieces
in the coneert.room, for which purpose three concert* shall
be annually gives. With regard to the leading vocal depar..
meat, the Director pledges himself that no nimble or ex-
pense sill be spared in tie endeavour to convene a company
of firs:-rue ability, but it is perfectly implant& at kreseat
to announce of whom that company wilt consist. A pro-
gramme of the Director's plans fur the season will be sent

courage In the cause of liberty. __re is an apparent calm-
ness as well as modesty in all the public documents that
have been published with Skrzyneekt's name, which pos-
sesses an indescribable charm. But we have heard it hinted,
even by those of his own count ymen, who unfeignedly ad-
mired that distinguished chief, that the constitution of his
mind was not fittid for occasions which demanded extraor.
dimity and daring enterprise. They complained that he
played according to the maxims of every-day prudence,
a game in which success could be earned no othereciae
than by the most audacious risks; as if delay, with
the consequent stagnation of public spirit, and the thousand
chances of disunion and insubordination to be expected
from it, were not in itself a system fraught with infinitely
more peril for a small insurgent state, than fur one of ten
times its magnitude and physical power, with all her re-
sources in organized and active operation. However,
Skrzyneeki will not be lost to Poland. He will no doubt
have important duties confided re him, and as an at:minis.
trative officer' when be has merely a plan to execute, not t=i
originate, there is little fear of his failing to perform es n
tial military services.

An idea, we observe, is springing up among the Tory prints,
or ember an affectation assumed by them, that the R. rat
Bill is now so altered and modified by their zeal and Lilo, is,
that it means little or nothing,—it is, as it w.re, dead and
buried. Let them persevere, we ray heaven, in this feeliiii;
or profession,—be it sincere or preteni'ed,--and all wily be
welL We have not the least wish to triumph over then.
Let them even call it their bill, if they like: only let them
pass it. It does mean nothing ! it is dead and buried.
Let it become the law, as a mere matter of form ; tint
is all we wish. For our own parts, it contents us as a
whole, though we may have fcund fault with individual
parts ; and if the people also are satisfied, t e Tories, doe's
quiz or ridicule the poor creatures, but let them rest statist:ea
with the high sounding nothing they have got under the
name of refoem. There is a talk of a batch of Pee T..
and the occasion of the Coronation (though there may I.e
now no need for the sake of securing the Reform Bill 1.1
the Upper House!) would seem to sanction the lim erec-
tion. A conespo :dent recommends that the family le
the venerable Admiral Peere il'illiams (now Freenta, )
may be honoured.by that distinction. The name of Pet re
trilliams and the Bellerophon, Ike united i i our nat. II

recommend an inquiry generally after the men and families

, nours they would have attained but fur the part they ttsok
during the Pitt administration. The reform Lill made cur.-

H Eft AI.D--The importance of the Polish question seems
to have again vindicated its place in European estimation ;
end surmises, or pretended facts, which bear upon its ulti-
mate solution, are once more the leading features of the jour.
oafs of almost every part of the Continent. In looking
through the contents of our arrieals last night, French,
German, Prussian, and even Belgian, we find link else ill
them than statements which, as the potida of etch inclii e
them, lead us to hope that the struggle between despotism
and national independence in Poland is not yet entirely
hopeless, or that the triumph of oppression is assured
beyond the possibily of escape or compromise for the cause
of the patriots. But it is to be deplored that, as the
catastrophe of this awful drama draws near, and the undoubt-
ed crisis of Polish existence approaches, the inform:Alen
which we receive of its progress becomes every day more con-
tradictory, confused, and unsatisfactory. The chroniclers of
the events of this extraordinary campaign hitherto have been
the writers in the Prussian Stale Gazelle, who seemed appa.
randy to describe all its phrases with plausible accuracy ; but
the honesty of whose motives, as the paper is known to be
under the strict control of the Prussian and Russian (1)-
enemata, has been always held jn diem's!. At one time
there were Worsail Gm:wiles, which used to and their way
to this country, filled of course, with the details of
transactions which were so interesting to them, and which,
though chargeable with a natural share of exaggeration, yet
a set-off to the interested Prussian Journals, and the
truth might fairly be said to lie between them. Of late
this source of intelligence, owing to the near approach, it
not almost actual investment of Warsaw by the Russians,
has, however, been entirely dried up, and we have had no
other guide to trust to in treading die maze of Polish
warfare than the very doubtful and fallible writers at Ber-
lin.--Amongst the miscellaneous contents of the German
and French Papers we find it stated that the suburb of
Pen, the Chief residence of the Europeans at tlotis.an.
tinople, has been entirely destroyed by fire, with a Lomat-
able loss of life as well as property. King Leopold is
said to have applied formally to the Conference of lenidan
to allow a portion of the French army to remain in Bd.
glum ; and that there have been some slight dismal:mice,
at Paris in consequence of a sudden rise which has taken
place in the price of bread. The Emperor of Russia :.nd
the King of Sarditga are both said to be alarmingly ill.
The French Ministry were daily acquiring new strength
in the Chamber, and every thing seemed to promise the
continuance of peace.
POST.—The accounts received yesterday relative to Po.
land, as well by the French and Hamburgh papers, are ex-
ceedingly contradictory. While some repeat the &internee'
of negotiations having commenced between the Russian and
Polish Chiefs, others assert, that the Polish General refuses
to negotiate, and is determined to risk a general battle.—
Itudiga, in his attempt to join the main Ruesian army, is
stated to have sustained a defeat. General DembLiski has
superseded the brave and skilful Ssrzynecki in the chief
command of the Polish army. What grounds of justification
can be assumed by the Pobsh Government for this extraor-
dinary, and to all appearance uncalled-for, exercise of their
assumed authority, it were difficult to imagine;—a more
gallant or successful officer than the displaced Commander,
modern Poland has never produced. We refer our readers
to the Order of the Day issued by this hero on resigning his
commend. His language would be worthy of any age tar
cause; and it is quite affecting to see a great General, on
being deprived of his power and authority, resolving, as be
is no loupe to command, generously to obey, and to con-
tinue to fight the battles of his country, by failing back
into the ranks of his comrades. We are filled with admi-
ration at his patriotism and heroic devotion to a cause,
which, wherever its real merits may be, is ennobled by the
spirit and conduct of those wno have espoused it. Dem.
binski's Order of the Day on assuming the command Is
en lc and appropriate. Great hopes are placed on him.
eNEONICLE.—We can conceive nothing more petty
than the attack made on ministers, last night, for hay ng
directed ileums. Dawson, Drinkwater, and Maunders, three
of the gentlemen in the list of Commissioners, filet con.mu-
nicand to the House on the 2d of September, by a letter
dated on the 24th August, to apply for information and as.
certain the boundaries of St. Mary's, Guildford. The govern.
went surely are not only justified, but bound to endeavour to
obtain the best information on all matters connected with
the bill; and it matters not a straw when the mines of
these gentlemen were first named to the House as Cow,
enissloneri, if Ministers only employed them in doing
what they were at all times authorized to do. They were
not employed, said Lerd Altborp. as Commissioners, and
had not the authority of Commissioners. The opposition,
finding thennelves foiled in their attack, resolved to detive
some advantage from the new light received by them ; and
Mr. Baring. Wall bad the littleness to say that be " wished
it to be known to the country that these Commissioners I al

their papers and document, to them." The kindred mind uf
Or E. Sugden caught up thil suggestion, and he declared, too,
tat "it was very material that it should be known that

that of the Secretary of State." Foe tion's sake let us du all

aqiisive knowledge of the language and manners of St.

however, is still of a vague character, and prudence requires
us to receive it with caution. We fervently hope tbat sue-
eetlittg arrivals will prove that the good cause has tri-
