CORONATION
OF HIS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY
GEORGE THE FOURTH.

REJOICINGS IN THE COUNTRY.

The Festivities in honour of the Coronation were
not confined to the Metropolis. In every City and
large Town in the Empire, means were adopted to
enable the mass of the people to share these Festivi-
ties—in some, by the exhibition of splendid shews ;
in others, by the more substantial enjoyment of good
Old English cheer. This latter mode of celebrating
the event is certainly the most rational, as 'it is the
most generally useful ; but it is suited only for small
communities—such as, for the tenants of a Nobleman
or wealthy Commoner, where the feeling of de-
ference and respect will ensure decorum. We shall
probably hear of many of these rural Festivities when
the Peers, having now discharged their duty to the
KitG, shall return to the midst of their own little
kingdoms in the different parts of the country. Such
occasional acts of liberality and indulgence are strong
promoters of kindly feelings upon both sides; and
are, in our opinion, productive of more public good
than is generally imagined. There cannot be a scene
of higher interest, or of purer enjoyment, nor one
more strongly calculated to excite the finest sympa-
thies of our nature, than the spectacle of an English
Nobleman or Gentleman standing in the midst of his
tenantry, dispensing among them comfort and happi-
ness, and receiving from their honest, contented faces,
the simple but eloquent expression of their gratitude.

BRIGUTON, JULY 19.
Early this morning cannons were discharged on the
Downs. Colours soon after were hoisted in the most
conspicuous situations. At five o'clock at least three
thousand persons had assembled on the Level. At
the latter period oxen were laid down to blazing
fires. A Coronation salute of 36 explosions from
four carriage-mounted swivels, at the bottom of Mid-
dle-street, rattled in all parts of the town at nine. At
mid-day the children of the Sunday and National
Schools were marshalled on the Steyne, and cakes
were distributed to them ; during which a Royal sa-
lute was discharged from the 42-pounders on the
battery. At one o'clock the shipping in the road-
stead, two revenue cutters, several packets, two col-
lier brigs, and trading ships commenced firing, which
was continued till two, with discharges at quick re-
turning inter vals as in answer from the land.
Prom four to six o'clock, foot-ball, jingling matches,
pig hunts with greased tails, jumping i n sacks, climb-
ingb tall poles, smoothed and greased, for joints
meat, at the sky extremity, foot races for prize fa-
vours, &c. were in diverting succession till the latter
hour, when these wete abandoned for the merry
(-lance, and scores of couples, in almost as many sets,
footed it in concert, keeping the best time that
buoyant spirits and warm hearts could allow them.
A tout ensemble more enlivening never presented itself
in this, nor in any other part of the world ; and not
an accident that we have heard of occurred, to check
the happiness predominant. At ten a bonfire on a
slope to the north, including fuel to the amount of
500 faggots, surmounted by a tar-barrel, sent up a
vivid flame to the clouds; and many houses in the
town were illuminated.
