CORONATION ANECDOTES.
A mcur DINNER.

At the Coronation of their late Maje.ties, there was the
greatest profusion of everything at the hanquet, but on the
company taking their seats, it was found that no table had been
covered for the Knights of the Bath ; and •an airy apology was
served up to them, instead of a dinner.
BANQUET OF GEORGE 111.
At the Coronation of George the Third, the dishes were pro.
vided and sent from the adjacent temporary kitchens erected
in Cotton-Garden for this purpose. No I:AS that sixty haunches
of venison, with a surprising quantity of all sorts of game, were
laid in for this grand feast. The King's table was covered with
one hundred and twenty chilies, at three several timas, served up
by his Majesty's Band of Gentlemen Pensioners; but 5.% hat
chiefly attracted notice was their Majesties dessert, is which tke
confectioner had lavished all his ingenuity in ruck-work and em-
blematical figures. The other desserts were no less acnirab:e
for their expressive devices.

MARCHIONESS OF LONDONDERAY'S FETE

AT A OR7'll CRAY.

The second Fete Chanrpclre tool: place on Monday,
at her Ladyship's villa. About two o'clock the roads
of Surrey and Kent were rendered gay by the most
splendid equipages, full sets of horses, and outriders.
The Duke of Devosittits displayed hir fine bays;
the Count and Countess ST. ANTONIO theirs; the
Duke of WELLINGTON went down with four in hand,
and his amiable Duchess posted it, The iloeEs dis-
played their splendid blacks—the ESTERHAZYS their
high-bred browns. Among those in cur. ides ssere
Viscount GRANVILLE, the Earl of WtsrmonEt.AND,
Mr. 'WA., and the SPANISH MINISTCR. The Duke
de GRANISIONT, .with the Viscourt:ss OssuLsToN,
were in an elegant carriage and six horses. From
three o'clock to half-past four the visi:ants began to
arrive. There were six marquees e.ecte I on the lawn,
in the rear of the house ; in the principal arrange-
ments were made for dancing; it c“nonenced im--
mediately after die djetottla Ia iourclielle, namely, at
SIX o'clock. There were three bands of music—the
Queen's Bays, and the musicians belonging to a
marching Regiment; the regular hand was therrent h
one. The apartments on the ground floor were ap,
propriated for the breakfast ; it consisted of every de-
licacy. Covers Mere laid for about 200. The pro-
menading on the lawn was delightful, from the fine-
ness of the day, for only a light shower fell during
the day. About nine o'clock a few ordered their car-
riages and retired ; but the major part stopped till
after midnight.
ELECTION AT 13.-ISSIIISIIAW WARD.

Tuesday a Wordmote for the Election of a Common Council-
man 1. r the Ward of Llassishaw, in the room of 31r. Estcm, tl e
late Deputy, was hell before Alderman Sir C. S. liuuTpu, Ilan ,
at the Whits: Bear Inn, liasinBhall-stce,t, in pursuance of a fresh
precept directed by the Court of Aldernn o, who had deelar( d
the former Election void. Mr. I ironus and Mr. Ltstrn, e
Candidates on the former Electionewere again put in 110L11.11a.
tion, and the numbers were,
Fur Mr. Mews ll—Mr. r C.
_

—Yesterday, at the final close of the poll, the numbers were
For Mr. Hughes 11;—Mr. Lister 11—Majority 2.
In the course of the election a question arose which Is of the
highest interest to those persons who occupy warehouses in the
city, but not dwelling therein, as to their right to vote for W. r 4
Cheers. A long discussion upon this question took place yes-
terday, when, after several legal authorities had been cited,
the worthy Aldermi.n cnnseuted to admit Mr. TEGG to vote, and
by so doing, formed a precedent for the occupiers of warehoutes,
whose right to vote has not hitherto Lt. en thought of.

It appears by letters from Ode ;sa, of the 26th.ult.
that a Turkish two-decker, one of the fleet, in retreat-
ing from Tenedos, ran ashote and was burnt, that it
might not fall into the liaads of the Greeks. The
Greeks have tuken many small Tut kish vessels and
have massacred the elev.'s, so that the warCtre is hor-
rible on both sides. G.neral Ccunt Wirr&Esisrfisr,
Conimander in Chief of the Southern Russian Airily,
arrived at Odessa on the 91st Jur.e. Ile said that he
would be at Constantinople within two months—but
though he is a good Officer, we df,til.t the rapidity of
his march, as the Russians hitherto have never been
able to penetrate the Bulgarian niountains. The Arn.y
under his command is about 120,(XX) effective men.
Mr. STRANGWAYS, attached to Lord STRANGFORD'S
Embassy, arrived at Odessa in the night of the 21st
June, having been prevented from pursuing the usuri
route to Constantinople. There was a report. of a
revolt at Philopopoli—a City in the direct line from
Constantinople to Belgrade. The Master of an Aus-
trian' ship and four others bate been beheaded at
Constantinople, itr consequence of an a Er ay at Galatz,
, on the Danube, from whence they vvcre sent down ;a
a Turkish vessel as prisoners.
A Bishop of Amiens, a pious and yet a facetious
man, was requested by a Lady for permission to wear
rouge. The Lady's character was half coquetti-h
and half devotee. " I can give you permission. MA.
dam," replied the Bishop, " for Ore cheek only !" •

We have received to-day Papers direct from Ma-
drid to the 12th of July. The chief articles of in-!
telligence which they contain relate to the state of
affabs in Mexico ; but as they are not so late by a
month as those which we published on Monday and
Tuesday, it is unnecessary to make any extracts. As
far as they go, they confirm our accounts, and shew
that the cause of Independence is spreading rapidly
in this valuable territory.
The KING left Madrid on the 11th inst. for the
.Baths of Salcedon. The only Minister who accom-
panied him was the Secretary of State.

A revere has been snstskined by the Patriots on the
Spanish Main. After remaining in possession of the
city of Caraccas only twelve days, they were driven
out of it on the 25th of May, by the Royalists, who
also succeeded, on the following day, in retaining
possession of La Guayra. This intelligence is com-
municated in letters from St. Thomas's of the 13th of
June. The principal force of the Patriots is stated to
be in the interior, the President, BOLIVAR, and Gene-
ral PAEZ, having formed a junction at \ravines, from
whence they meditated an attack on St. Carlos. In
consequence of the re-occupation of Caraccas and La
Guayra by the Royalists, the usual convoy was ex-
pected to arrive at St. Thomas's in the course of the
month of June.

The Paris Papers of Monday arrived this forenoon,
-We extracted yesterday from those of Sunday, a
brief notice, stating, that the Turks, after delivering
themselves up to the greatest excesses, had set fire to
Smyrna. The Moniteur of Monday publishes the
accounts which have been actually received from
that city ; and though they are not so calamitous as
represented, they are still sufficiently alarming.
The ship Nantaise, Capt. COUHITTE, left Sioyrna
on the 17th of June, and arrived at Toulon on the
17th July. On touching at Milo, on the 22d June,
it was informed, that on the 19th, the corvette k
Gob had passed that island, and that two days after
that corvette had been followed by the galliot l'Es-
tafette and the lighter la Cherrette, all bound for
Smyrna, to reinforce the French force on that station,
which was at the end of the month to be still further
strengthened by several ships.
When the Nantaise left Smyrna the PACHA strove,
but in vain, to maintain his authority ; the populace,
did as they pleased, massacring the Greeks when►
ever they found them ; and great fears were enter-
tained for the encleased exasperation which might be
produced, by news just received of the loss of a
Turkish vessel, which the Greeks had burnt on the
7th or Bth of June, near the island of Mytelene,
cutting the throats of nearly the whole of the crew.
It is said that hat for the firmness of M. DAVID,
the French Consul-General, and Captain LE NOR-
MAND DE KEnGRIST, the French Commandant on
the station, the quarter of the Franks would have
been set fire to in the first days of June.
The Chiefs of the Greek fleet, armed chiefly at
Hydra, Ipsara, and Specia, indicated on their part
an intention of bearing for Smyrna, and making
themselves masters of it.
The Franks, afraid of seeing themselves thus
placed between two fires, had abandoned the city,
and taken refuge on board the ships of war and
merchantmen in the Roads, at the risk of being ex-
posed to all the difficulties which might arise from
want of provisions, and means of conveyance elsewhere.
Even the Consuls had thought it right to take the
same step. Captain KERGRIST, in a letter of the 17th
of June, writes as follows :
The massac►e of the Greeks continues; but hi-
therto the u►ench are respected at Smyrna, and all
vur countrymen arc safe; thanks to the good order
which the Officers of the station have maintained in
their aimed boats, and to the frank co-operation of
the English brig Ale.lina, Captain Hockings, who'
Las acted along with me in all the dangerous circum-
stances which have occurred. The Consuls of all
nations are in the Roads, and under my protection:.
The Captain of the corvette 1' Arriege, which
cruizes between the Morea and the Isle of Candia,
had also recently had the satisfaction of taking on
board the Foreign Consuls, when Patras was set
fire to.

On the 18th of June, the Captain of the Naiitaise,
being then between Ipsara and Chio, met about forty
Greek ships filled with families who had escaped
from Ivalia, which the Turks had set on fire; and at
Milo he was informed that a ship dispatched from

the Isle of Casso had reported, that at Rhodes the
Turks had aslassinated all The Greek sailors who
were in,that
The Austrian Observer, of the 12th. of July, an-
nounces that, according to news received from Mol-
davia and Wallachia, the Turks, to the number of
12,000 men, commanded by the Pacha of lbrail, en-
tered Jassy on the 12th June.
