Conoicarrox.—ln Cheltenham the event was celebrated,
last It surely ought to Le throughout the Empire, as a grand
National Festival. In no part of the empire are feelings of
the purest loyalty and of devoted and affectionate attachment
to the House of Brunswick more ardently cherished than in
this town ; and the arrangements that were made for the
occasion, however short the notice, were worthy of that
spirit. The Royal Standard floated from the steeple of St.
Mary's Church, and was hoisted on all our public buildings.
The enlivening peal of the joy.bells wus heard at intervals
throughout the day ; and in the evening the town was very
neatly and tastefully illuminated, consisting principally of
candles, us the demand for lamps exceeded the supply.—
But by great exertions between four and ten o'clock on the
Wednesday evening, and between nine sod twelve o'clock
on the following morning, they succeeded in collecting the
requisite sum to dine fourteen hundred children at the seve-
ral school rooms, upon roast beef and p.um pudding, with
beer, and the addition of a Um to eau' child, generously
given by Mr. Henney, in the course of the procession,
through the Sherburne promenade. upon the spot facing to
King William's statue. The new statue which was open to
view for the first time on this day, was a well-timed corn-
memoration of the King, Reform, and the Coronation,
through the medium of a chaste, commanding, and correctly
caccuud piece of sculpture. The general meeting of the
schools in the old avenue a the Royal Wells, where they
sung the Coronation anthem, and the procession of the
lengthened train through the beautiful avenues of the Im-
perial Spa, into the Bch road, and thence through the
High-street, was an interesting and imposing spectacle, and
afforded general satisfaction. It was not the least gratifying
sight to witness the assemblage of 1405 children belonging
to charity schools of all denominations in this town, who
were regaled with roast beef and plum pudding. Four hun-
dred and twenty sat down to dinner in the Infant School
Room, being the children of the Roman Catholic School—
the Wesleyan, Baptist, Independent, and Church Sunday
Schools, and the Sunday School of Cheltenham Chapel.
The hymn sung before dinner by these children was much
admired by the numerous spectators, who, having arranged
themselves in the Infants' School gallery, had a pretty view
of the four lowg tables laid out in the centre of the room.
Three hundred dined at the national school room in the
Bath road, where the provision was ample, and tastefully
arranged by Mr. Gunton. Three hundred and fifty Illere
treated at the Portland chapel school room ; and three hun-
dred and thirty at the branch national school room. After
dinner, all the schools assembled in the Old Well Walk,
where they sung the national anthem, in which the as-
sembled company joined most heartily, concluding with en-
thusiastic cheers.

At D.:viz.”4, the following plan was decided upon. Three
hundred pounds were sobscribed for meat, to be subdivided
into portions, according to the number of families of the
poorer inhabitants; these portions to be distributed in the
ratio of 21b. to each individual, and one pound to each child,
amounting in the whole to about 6or 7,0901 b. allotted to
4,01)0 people, with three pence annexed to each lot, for beer.
One thousand children from the school's to have a toast beef
and Own pudding di:.ncr in the public market.house,
and to be accompanied •by their teachers, with the bands
of the different Clubs, to play the coronation anthem after
dinner.

The elevation of Colonel Berkeley to the peerage has given
general satisfaction in this part of the country. As a coun-
try gentleman of real consequence, who spends his property
at home, and as a man, who in bearing, demeanor, and
style of character well becomes the peer, he is in every re-
spect an acquisition to the Upper House. His talents, from
not having been more publicly exhibited, are far from being
appreciated to the full extent. nature, strong sense, and
cultivation, have given bids all the gifts for a sound and im-
pressive senator, and the country, should he give his atten-
tion to itt affairs, may expect front hint both cloque::ce and
reason.

STATUE OF THE graceful and elegant sta.
tue, which is placed In the Imperial Gardens, was open on
Thursday, to public insptetion, and attracted a great number
of spectator*. The statue is about 8 feet 1 inch high, clothed in
a mantle, with the insignia of the Garter, and the collar and
badge of St. George. The position is firm, graceful sad
erect, with one hand resting on a pedestal, on which a crown
is placed. There will be an appropriate inscription on the
tablet. The height from the ground to the top of the figure
Is upwards of twenty feet, presenting a classical and elegant
design. The statue, which does so much credit to the party
concerned, and which is so universally opproved, was wholly
and solely designed and executed by 31r. Willani Mon.

Loss OF THE ROTHSAY CASTLE.—During the last
week, owing to the prevalence of south-weste:iy winds,
several bodies have been thrown mi the coast be:weut the
Mersey and the Ribble, a distance of forty or fifty miles
from the place where the wreck occurred. The foliowing
bodies have also been washed up :—At Little Czusby. a
man entirely naked, about 25 years of age, 5 tee: 19 itches
high, remarkably well.formed, with brown hair, cut short
behind, but rather full in front. At the same r.:4cc, a roan

bruised about the head. Had on blue trowsers, check shirt,
one brace, and one white cotton stocking, all without marks.
He had in his pocket a cinder, but no money, nor any thing
els:. Conjectured to be the fireman of the engine.

At Little Crosby, a man unknown ; features wholly de- I
stroyed, hair gone off his head ' • height, 5 feet 4 or 5
inches. Had on a brown coat, black waistcoat, with line
spots, apparently of silk, white trowsers, flannel drawers,
and a slip or under -jacket, next to the skin, a white linen
shirt, with a plain front, grey wonted stockings, and one
shoe. No marks whatever on any of his dress. In his
pocket an old pocket-book, without any marks or any
thing in it, ninepence in copper, and two keys tied together
with a string.
The body of Mr. Thompson, solicitor, of Bradford, was
cast tip on Thursday se'nnight, on the Formby shore. The
body of Mrs. Thompson came on shore near Beaumaris,
and was interred at &atm:aria on Friday.
The bodies of Mrs. Foster, Mr. Thompson, Mr. Baldwin,
Mr. Brundreth, and Mr. Walmsley, have alone been iden-
tified. Mr. Heyes, the coroner for the hundred, held in-
quests on all the bodies, and verdicts of" Found drowned"
were returned. The bodies, with the exception of that of
Mrs. Foster, were decently interred in the church-yeas
of Sephton and North Meals. The property found on
the persons of the unfortunate sufferers is in the hands of
the constables of the different townships in which they
were cast up.
On Friday last a body was picked up off Puffin Island,
by a smack bound for Holywell, whither the corpse s
taken. It was that of a man with a chain over the shoul-
dere, a ring on the finger, marked " S. Day," and there
were three sovereigns in the pocket. The body, which was
much decomposed, was interred on Saturday.
On Wednesday morning se'nnight, between Bangor and
Conway, the body of a gentleman, of which the following Is
a description : Gressel in a black coat, a pair of new shoes,
laced in the front. Found on him a gold watch, a silver
snuff-box, a silver chain, as watch-guard, with 351. in cash.
No traces of his features remained. The body was interred
on the same evening.
On Tuesday week a meeting was held at /ksutnarla
to hear the report of the Committee appointed to collect
and distribute Subscriptions. From this it appeased
that the sum of 2831. 9s. had been collected, of which
about 301. had been distributed among the soarers.—
The sea-worthiness of the Rothsay Castle, and the conduct
of MOP. Watson, the agent, were again freely canvassed.
The draft of a petition to be presented to both houses of
Parliament was then proposed and adopted. After stating
that the wreck was attributable to the drunkenness of the
captain, and the unscaworthlness of the vessel, this petition
went on to state--" That your petitioners humbly suggest
as the means of providing against a like occurrence from
similar causes, that no steam-vessel should be permitted to
convey paattngers without being first duly licensed, such
lie:llse to be renewed periodically, and that no license should
be granted or renewed except upon the certificate of a person
appointed for that purpose, of the seavonitiness and proper
appointment of the vessel, and of the general good conduct
and capacity of the captain who is to command her."
'rns Nast). Loon WZAVESS..--Airc have a very me.
lancholy letter from a correspondent, on the present condi-
tion of the hand-loom-weavers. This is a matter which
deeply and immediately concerns ever; man who has to
earn his bread by the sweat of his brow ; and we entreat the
earnest attention of working men, and o all who feel them-
selves to be dependent on the well-being of working men,
to the observations which we have to offer on this very pain-
ful and mournful subject. Our correspondent states—we
bzlieve most truly, with respect to some branches of the
trade—that the journeyman weaver does not clear more
than four shillings a-week, by working fifteen or sixteen
hours a.day ! he mourns over the necessity of the weavers
receiving parish relief, thus " breaking down," as our coy.
respondent expresses it, " the hedge of his independence ;"
he laments this state of things as a national misfortune—he
might have added, a national infamy—and attributes it to
the supineness of the weavers, In submitting to reductions in
the rate of wages.
COUNTY (tares.—By the statement of the moneys
raised by tolls or rates, and received and expended for county
purposes, from July 1030, to June 1831, it appears that the
total actual receipts for this period amount to 71,13518 s 21 ,
being an average on the whole county of yearly 311 in the
pound. We observe the following items :—Expenses of
prosecutions of felons niche assizes and sessions, 18,6231. 12s.
The amount paid on account of damages by rioters in the
Salford hundreds Is 4431. 111.5 d ; in the West Derby bun-
dred 211. Gs. 81; the other four hundreds have not suffered
from riots.—Repairs of county bridges in Salford hundred
1,3701. Ds. 91 ; of Barton bridge 5001. of hundred bridges in
.•islford hundred 2,7721. 10s. Total expenses paid,

Into —A be broke out in the brass and iron foundry of
Mrs. Kilgoor, of Bengal-street, Ancasts, about nine o'clock
on Tuesday evening. The building in which the accident
took place is about 30 yards long and three stories high. The
two top stories are used as pattern rooms and joiners shops,
and contained a great deal of timber and patterns at the
time. The bottom story is occupied chiefly as a foundry
and fettling shop. The fire originated in the lower story at
one end of the building, and raged with such fearful rapidity,
that in less than half an hour the whole building was enve-
loped in flames,

A coronation committee was formed about three weeks ago,
of which the boroughreeve was appointed chairman, which
held its sittings at the Town Hall, and on which devolved
the duty of arranging all the preliminaries connected with
the procession. In consequence of the hesitation which had
been evinced in the first instance, the promptness and spirit
which marked the proceedings of the various trades previous
to the last coronation seemed somewhat deficient at the pre.
sent ; and this circumstance may account for the inferiority,
as a whole, of the present procession as contrasted with the
last. To the several causes mentioned may be attributed,
also, in some measure, the few instances of carcase-roasting
and ale-distributing observable on the present occasion,
compared with the last, when, it will be remembered such
sights were almost " as common as blackberries." As the day
approached, however, an inspection of the letters sent to the
coronation committee from the various trades and societies
intending to walk, which amounted to about thirty-six, con.
taming programmes of their respective intended displays,
gave presage of a procosion not entirely unworthy of the
town, or the sovereign %hose coronation It was intended
to celebrate. The almost countless numbers of coronation
medals and rosettes displayed in the various shop.windows
of the town also gave indication that a supply of dies: in-
signia of loyalty had been procured, equal to the most ex-
tensive demand.

Towards the period for the great procession forming, nine
o'clock, a number of flags began to be displayed from the
several churches, the Exchange, Town-hall, and other pub.
lic buildings, and also from the windows of a number of
private individuals, with appropriate loyal emblems and in.
scriptions. Other characteristic devices, but too numerous
to mention, were also displayed, as marks of affection and
loyalty to the sovereign.
About nine o'clock, the municipal authorities who had
assembled at the Town-hall, proceeded to St. Ann's-square,
to head the jubilee procession. A number of schools of the
establishment had already assembled, but, we understand,
that in consequence of the unfavourableness of the weather,
none of the schools in Salford made their appearance, and
from this sank also, as Well as from the want of aecummo.
dation in the square for so large a number, several of the
schools in Manchester awaited the arrival of the procession
at those points which it was expected to pass, nearest to
their respective schools. The following is the order of pro.
cession agreed on, and which, with the exceptions before
named, was observed on the occasion.
In the original order of the procession the place assigned
to the Catholic scholars was before several of the less nume-
rous denominations of dissenting Protestants; but the Pro-
testants wishing generally to celebrate by their procession
the jubilee of the Sunday Schools, as well as the Coronation
day, the Conductors of the Catholic schools gave place to
the whole of the Protestant schools, that the former might
walk in ore undivided body, they themselves declining the
celebration of this jubilee, as a matter purely Protestant;
and thinking, at the same time, that it derogated from the
honour due to a king really patriotic, to mix up the cele-
branch at his coronation with that of any otherJete.
