Yesterday morning the L )rds of the Privy Coun-

take into consideration a number of claims that have
been referred to them for their decision from the
Court of Claims. The Lord President (Earl HAR-
Roway), the Master of the Horse (Duke of Mow-
TROSE), the Duke of CLARENCE, Marquis CAMDEN,
the Secretaries of State for Home and Foreign Af-
fairs, the President of the Board of Trade, &c. at.
tended. Their Lordships examined a great variety
of books, documents, and ancient manuscripts, and
confirmed some of the claims, and disallowed others.
Yesterday, Westminster, from its powetful attrac-
tions, was the scene of active bustle the whole day ;
the streets were almost impassable. Most of the
galleries in front of the houses are now completed,
and exhib t a very pleasing and chewy appearance,
1,6,2 lined with crimson, and the seats covered with
new C 1 • :itv!. •vhole covering of the platform
was yesterday and this morning pulle.l u; the
centre; and a number of painters are at work paint-
ing the upper s‘orks and the supporters of the roof.
The issues of tickets for viewing Westminster Hall
have ceased, and that edifice will not be opened again
to gene' al in•pection till a. ter the Coronation. No
less that 40,000 tickets were issued by the LORD
GREAT CUAMBERLA I tc during the eight days the Hall
was opened to the Public.
The tickets for admission to the Hall on the day '1
of the Cot ovation, are now stamping with the LORD
GREAT CHAMBERLAIN'S seal.

In serving up the first course of his MAJerry's
dinner, on the day of Coronation, his Grace the Duke
of WELLINGTON, as Lord High Constable of England
for the day, and the Marquis of A NGLESEA, as Lord
High Steward for the day, will accompany the Earl
Marshal (Lord HoWA RD of Effingham), on horseback,
attired in their robes as Peers, and having on then
heads their coronets. It was thought these Noble
Individuals would have tidden by deputies, but in
thus , ersonally perfurming their offices, the interest
of this gait of the splendid scene will be consider.

In •tddition to the several Regiments of Cavalry
summoned to London to attend the Coronation, all
the Ye.iiiianry 4.orps within fifty miles of the metro-
polis will likewise he pi esent.
A consultati, in took place in the LORD GREAT CIIA NI-
SER LA IN'S Office, on Monday, as to the probable time
which the ion, ceremonies to be pile through on
the day of C, foliation would occupy, when it was
considered that. under all circumstances, iL would be
impossible for his MAJESTY to sit down to dinner till
eight ric:o, kin the evening. In this view of the
case it was deemed necessary that preparations should
be made lot lighting Westminster Hall, and the are:
nues leading to and from it, on the approach of night-
fall, and orders to that effect have been issued.—
Splendid chandeliers are to be suspended from the,
heads of each of the angels terminating the arches
which stippoit the roof of the Hall (28 in number),
and each of these chandeliers will contain from 50
to 60 wax candles; independent of these, there will
be brilliant candelabras, and other lights, on the
tables and Royal platform. The dining. rooms in the
House of Lords, Courts of Law, as well as all the
other rooms and passage' through which the mem-
bers of the procession will have occasion to pass, will
also be lighted with candelabras, lustres, branches,
and lamps.
ißaosTAvoN.—A magnificent Balloon will ascend
on the 19th inst. from the Belvidere Gardens, Pen-
tonville, in honour of his MAJESTY'S Coronation.—
A young Nobleman will ascend in it, accompanied
by a scientific Gentleman, under whose direction it
bas been made.

The preparations for the celebration of the Coro-
nation are alseady begun at Newcastle. A crane has
been erected in the Spital, where one of the oxen to
be given by the Corporation will be roasted ; and on
Monday, workmen %sere employed in opening the
ground in front of the Exchange, for the purpose of
hying a pipe for the wine to flow through. The
sports, however, are not to be confined to tern:firma :
on the Tyne there will be a boat-race for twelve sove-
reigns given by the Corporation, and an elegant flag
given by the Trinity House. The boats are to start
at Walker at nine in the morning, and sail to Tvne
Bridge. It is intended to have the oxen ready to cut
np by twelve, and that everything the Corporation
is concerned in will be over by two, in order that the
populace may disperse quietly to their homes, or go
to the Races, as inclination may suggest.

ANSWER TO THE QUEEN'S MEMORIAL,

Whereas there was this day read at the Board a Report from
a Committee of the Lords of his ble.merr's most Howarthle
Privy Council, in the words following, viz.
" Your Majesty having been pleased, by your Order in Council
of the 3tl of this instant, to refer unto this Committee the se-
veral Memorials of her Majesty the Quee claiming a right to
be crowned on the same day and the same place which has (have)
been appointed for the Coronation of your Majcry, and praying
to be heard by Counsel in support of the said claim; the Lords
of the Committee, in obedience to your Majesty's said order of
reference, have accordingly heard her Majesty's Attorney and
Solicitor-General in support of her Majesty's said claim, and
having also heard the observations of your Majesty's Attorney !
and Solicitor-General thereupon, their Lordships do agree humbly
to report to your Majesty their opinions, that as it appears to
them that the Queens-Consort of this Realm are not entitled of
right to be crowned at any time, her Majesty the Queen is not
entitled as of right to be crowned at the time specified in her
Majesty's Memorials.
" His Majesty having taken this said Report into considera-
tion, has been pleased, by and with the advice of his Privy Coun-
cil, to approve thereof. (Signed) "C. C. GREVILLE."
[This Report was sent by Lord &mount to Lord Hoon, the
Queen's Chamberlain.]

Her Majesty the QUEEN sent immediately the fol-
lowing reply : BRA NMENBURGH 'lousy:, JULY 1I p 1831.
" My LORD—Your Lordship's letter of yesterday
to Lord Hood, convey to me the Report of the
Committee of Council, (.11 my Memorial to the King
in Council, claiming my right to be crowned ; and as
I find the Committee positively denies the right which
I have claimed, and which all Queens-Consort have
enjoyed (without one exception arising from the will
of the Sovereign), I consider it necessary to inform
your Lordship, that it is my intention to be present
at the ceremony on the 19th, the day fixed for his
Majesty's Coronation, and I therefore demand that
a suitable place may be appointed for me.
