NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE CORONATION. -

Mr. DYMOCKE, jun. in the hope that he may have
the honour of personating the character of his MA-
JESTY'S Champion on the day of Coronation, has
been for some time taking lessons at Astley's hiding
School, and has become tolerably perfect in the ma-
nagement of a charger. On Thursday, he rode, for
the first time, in a suit of armour, and went through
many of the evolutions of an Ancient IZnight. The
horse which is to be ridden by the Champion has
been chosen from Astley's Stud ; it is a powerful horse,
pie-balled black and white, and is extremely tractable.
Iwo other horses, upon which the Lord High Con-
stable and the Lord High Steward are to ride, have
also been chosen from the same Stud ; one is per-
fectly black, the other white. They are about four-
teen and a-half hands high. The Champion's horse
has been measured frr his trappings by the liCt;:o's
saddler.
Yesterday morning, orders were issued to erect seats
(which are to contain several thousand persons) from
one end of the Gardens, at the front of the late West-
minster Sessions House,_ to the other. The price al-
ready given for a seat is from five to eight guineas, and
three guineas for a seat from which a spectator. can
have merely an oblique view of the splendid pageant.
A Public Meeting was held on the 27th instant, in
the large room of the Police Office, for the purpose
of determining in what manner the approaching N •
tional Ceremony should be celebrated .in Manchester.
The BORO&GHHEEVE presided. It was resolved that
a. general holiday by all claws should be made on
that daY. To provide refreshment for the lower
classes, oxen are to be roasted in 'various parts of the
town, and barrels of ale to be supplied in abaadance,
and distributed under direction of special constables.
At a recent meeting of the. Corporation of Dover,
E. B. WrißßAllAsi, Esq. one of the Members for the
Town and Port, and HENSHAW LATHAM, Esq. were
elected as canopy bearers at the Coronation..
