WESTMINSTER lI4LL

Yesterday, several thousand persons, consisting of
all classes of society, were admitted from twelve to
four o'clock, to view this splen.lid scene. Lord
GWyDYR again attended in person, displaying the
utiobst anxiety and exertion to gratify the wishes of
the Public, and although pressed by numerous per-
sons of high rank for private admissions for
friends, his Lordshiy/ politely, but firmly, resisted all
applications of this kind, observing, he was deter-
mined the Public should have fur play." Barriers
were erected, and everything done that could ensure
the safety of the visitors. Those celebrated pusilists,
Cribb, Belcher, Spring, Oliver, "Richmond, Carter,
Owen, he. were in attendance at the door, whose
united strength of arms not only prevented any sort
of rush or clanger, but whose knowledge of society
prevented -any improper characters from entering
among the visitors. The Hall was again opened this
day from twelve to four, under the immediate at-
tendance of Lord GWYDYR.

The Loan CHANCELLOR, we are sorry to say,
sprained his ancle dreadfully at the Coronation. His,
Lordship sent a message yesterday to Lincoln's Inn
Hall, st:tting that he should not be able to attend in
the Court of Chancery for some days.
The matting used on account of the Coronation,
was 14,000 yards.
The timber work of the Abbey, Westminster Hall,
the Platform, and the Barriers, was 60,000 'square
' feet, or 1,500 loads.
The timber used in erecting theatres and stages in-
directly connected with the Coronation, has been esti-
mated at 80,000 square feet. _ _ _

A Correspondent wishes to know what has become
of the ancient Coronation Plate, none of which was
exhibited at the Banquet on Thursday? Surely the
fine old golden representation of the Tower has not
been converted into the paltry trinkets that occupied;
its place.
Her Royal Highness Princess SOPHIA, from her
♦ery delicate state of health, would not venture to
the Coronation, but retired to Kensington, and spent
the day there with a Lady whom she honours with
her friendship.

It is customary for the KING, on his Coronation, to
honour with Knighthood the senior Gentleman of the
Honourable Band of Pensioners, and one of the Offi-
cers. After the performance of the several services,
his MAJESTY knighted FBRAVICK BULMER, of the
Strand, the senior Gentleman, and G. B. Pocock, the
Standard-bearer of the Band• The fees for knighting
were ordered to be paid by the Treasury.
The condescension shewn by the KING to the Mem-
bers of Opposition at the Coronation displayed the
dignified liberality of his mind. As they successively
did their homage, he spoke to several of them in the
most affable manner; a compliment which was greatly
enhanced by the fatigue he must have previously
,undergone.
Yesterday morning the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, the
Duchess of GLOUCESTER, and the Princess AUGUSTA,
