HASTINGS, JULY so.

Yesterday, one of the Magistrates (Enwann M
wa an Esq.) and the two Barons (Scorr and Daw•
INS, 'Emvs.) of this ancient Town (being one of the
Cinque Ports), participated and enjoyed their privi-
lege and high honour of Canopy Bearers over our
Most Gracious Sovereign King UEORGE the FuURTII,
at his Royal Coronation. The inhabitants and visi-
tants celebrated and manifested their joy and loyalty
in the best manner they could suggest, paying due
veneration to so important, so desirous, and so solemn
an event, which has not only aiForded confirmation
to Sovereignty, and, by a sacred pledge, further ad-
herence to our Religion, Constitution, and Laws, but
recognition and satisfaction in the minds and hearts
of his MAJESTY'S subjects.
It is with great pleasure we observe, that the day
beamed upon :Ind hailed our much-beloved Monarch,
in his newly exalted situation, with a peculiar degree
of fineness and brilliancy. Banners were early dis-
played in various parts, and from the Custom-house,
beautifully suspended in double Tows across the High-
street. There was a dinner also at the Crown Hotel ;
the Chief Magistrate was the President. During the
afternoon, several appropriate toasts were given, with
congratulatory sentiments, expressing attachment to
our Crowned Sovereign, &c. and a variety of songs,
calculated to excite hilarity; so that the greatest har-
mony and conviviality prevailed till a late hour.—
The Libraries (BARRY s, PowEL's, and AUSTIN'S)
were splendidly illuminated ; and the divertisements,

!vocal and Instruinental, were choke, fine, and selected.
The Promenade was filled with genteel spectators.
In the evening there was a Ball at the Royal Swan
Hotel, conducted and regulated by three Gentlemen,
•as Stewards, viz. Dr. WiLmoz, Lieutenant COOK, of
the Royal Navy, and Lieutenant UMIAK, of the 14th
Light Dragoons, which was elegantly, brilliantly,
and fashionably attended. The richly variegated
costume of the Ladies, the superior style of the
dancers, many of whom shone gracefully conspicuous,
the lustre, devices, and decorations of the room, with
the liveliness of the music, and the glorious cause
which gave rise to it, produced a general animation,
and a pleasing coup died, which finished towards the
morning with much gaiete de our and great eclat;
and the concluding prayer of all present seemed to
be, that our most gracious, much admired, crowned
Monarch may long reign in health, prosperity, and
happiness, and continue
" To be °sr guardian, patron, and guide,
" We own with rapture, and bey with pride !"
RICHMOND.

This loyal town, in honour of the Coronation of
our gracious KING, regaled 1000 poor people on the
Green with an excellent dinner, consisting of hot
roast beef, veal, and boiled legs of mutton, an abund-
ance of plum-puddings, and several butts of strong
beer. A band of music attended. The amusements
after dinner consisted of dancing, donkey racing,
jingling matches, jumping in sacks, pig racing, &c.
In the evening there was a brilliant display of fire-
works, the town was illuminated, and the Theatre,
under the direction of Mr. KLANERT, in addition to
Ithe ornament of flags, lamps, &c. presented a beau-
tiful allegorical transparency (truly appropriate) of
his MAJESTY, in Grecian costume, trampling on de-
feated A narchy,while a protecting Genius above places
on his head a crown of Janie!.
