CELEBRATION OF THE KING'S CORONATION
IN ST. GILES'S.

Among the numerous rejoicings which took place
on Thursday last, in honour of the Coronation of his
MAJESTY, there were few, if any, that exceeded in
sincerity, though there were thousands that surpassed
in magnificence, the joy manifest on that occasion by
the children of the Irish poor who are educated in the
" St. Giles's Irish Free Schools," situated in George.
street. After breakfasting in the Schoolrooms, they
paraded several of the streets and squares with three
neat flags, the first bearing the designation of the
Schools as noticed above, the second was ornamented
with a crown and wreaths of laurel, with the words'
of the Apostle Peter, " Fear Gon, honour the King,"
and on the third the words of St. Paul to Timothy,
"From a child thou host known the Holy Scriptures.
—At two o'clock about 200 of them sat down to a
dinner of good old English fare, toast beef and plum-
pudding, of which they all partook with great glee.
After dinner GOD save the King was toasted in a rap-
turous and heartfelt manner, in a flowing bumper of
wine furnished to each child. Their joy and merri-
ment, on the toast being given, was evident from their
long and loud huzzaing, which was repeatedly re- I
echoed from the boys' room to that in which the girls
dined, and was caught by many of the parents who
assembled about the school-house door, and most
heartily returned. The Treasurer (at whose expens.:
the feast was given) attended, and was assisted by
the Ladies and Gentlemen present in carving and
waiting on those hitherto much-neglected children.
It was also pleasing to hear them repeat several por-
tions of Scripture, on the duty we owe to the KING,
to Magistrates, to parents, &c. as well as the duty of
husbands, of wives, and of set vants—and admonitions
against lying, swearing, stealing, &c. &c. In the
. evening a beautiful though small transparency was
placed in front of the school-house, rept esenting the
King handing a Bible to a Child, with the memora-
ble words of his august Father—
" May every poor child be taught to read the Bible."
It was paatul to find that many of the poor chil-
dren could not join the procession for want of shoes,
but in every other respect those partook of the com-
forts of the day.

CHELMSFORD, JULY 20.
If a public rejoicing with one heart and one mind
can be received as a proof of attachment to a King,
we have here had the fullest conviction. On no
former occasion do we ever remember to have ob-
served so genuine an effusion of loyalty, so universal
a combination in all classes to celebrate a day as was Thursday,
