THE CORONATION.

It has been generally understood, that the Corona-
tion
of King JAMES the SECOND, which, by order of
that Monarch, was so minutely detailed in SAND-
voRD's Work, would be the exact prototype of the
present one; but this will not be the case. Lord
GWTDIR, and the Noblenien who superintend the so- •
lemn ceremony, have indeed referred to SawnFortro's
account upon many dubious points, and the more
' general plan of that Coronation will be preserved ;
but in other very material respects the ensuing Co-
' ronation will decidedly differ from that of dAmas.—
The Lord Mayors of London and Dublin, the Heads
of the Universities, and a number of other Com-
moners, were then present at the dinner in the Hall;
but it is now fully determined that no other person
whatever than Peers shall dine in the presence of his
MAJESTY ; and that the Peers shall not sit dcwn to
table until his MAJF:sry has done dinner, and is about
to partake of the dessert. For the Commoners, who
will attend the Coronation, tables are to be prepared
in the various Courts of Law, and the spacious rooms
connected with the Hall. _ _

The following is a sketch of the general form that
has recently been determined upon :
His MAJESTY willleave the Semaxeres house (where
he will sleep) in the same dress that he has hitherto
worn upon State occasions, and take his seat upon
the Throne erected under the south window. Before
him, on the Royal table, will lie the regalia. About
three feet distant, on his right hand, will sit his
Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, and on his left
the Duke of CLARENCE, and the other Dukes round
the table. The different persons who are entitled to
bear the regalia will then individually advance, ac-
companied by Heralds, and, receive their respective
burthens from his MAJESTY'S table. The whole pro-
cession will then marshal and proceed to the Abbey.
The Ladies of rank, who will be accommodated in
the galleries, will go by the covered way. Upon
arriving at the Abbey his MAJESTY will immediately
proceed to the private Chapel at the back of the
Altar, and there change his dress. ST. EDWARD'S
Crown, or the Crown of England, will also there be
placed on his head by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY.
By this time, all persons having taken their places in
the Abbey, his MAJESTY will come forward in pub-
lic and kneel before the Altar. The Archbishop will
then take Sr. EDWARD'S Crown from his head again,
and place it upon the Altar, and, after the prayer,
supply its place by the new Crown, and place an
additional robe upon his MAJESTY'S shoulders. His
MAJESTY Will next take his seat in ST. EDWARD'S
Chair, which is elevated upon a platform in the centre
of the Abbey Cross. At the four corners of the
Cross, immediately against the pillars, will stand four
Heralds, superbly apparelled. The sermon will be
preached from a pulpit which is erecting at the north-
east corner. After the service, his MAJESTY will re-
turn in procession, with the new Crown upon his
head, to Westminster Hall, and there dine. The
Peers, and all persons excepting the Royal Family,
who partake with his MAJESTY, will stand the while.
The remaining fortes in regard to the Champion, &c.
are the usual ones, and are well known.

We have given in another part the official state-
ment of the Revenue for the Quarter which ended on
the sth instant. As compared with the correspond-
ing Quarter of last year, there is an acknowledged
deficiency of nearly £200,000.
At a Meeting of the Mayor and several respect-
able inhabitants of the town of Faversham, on the
4th instant, it was unanimously resolved that a pub-
lic subscription should be entered into for the pur-
pose of raising a fund to enable their poorer fellow
townsmen to enjoy the day appointed for the ap-
proaching Coronation of our beloved MONARCH, in-
stead of illuminating the town : nearly cso was sub-
scribed at the Meeting, and a gratifying collection
was immediately commenced.
Yesterday, Prince LEOPOLD had a numerous and
splendid Dinner Party at Marlborough-House, his
Royal Highness having arrived in town from Clare-
mont for that purpose, to meet his Royal Sister the
Duchess of KENT. Among the distinguished per-
sonages present %ere—Lord and Lady BARNARD,
the Duke and Duchess of SOMERSET, Lord Essex,
Sir T. STEPNEY, Earl BRAYBROOK, Lady GLYNWIt,
Lord and Lady Buacuensir, Lord and Lady FITZ..
ROY SOMERSET, &C.
The new building upon the site of the old Royal
Academy in Pall-Mall, is rapidly rising ; the lower
part of it is to be occupied by some person of the
King's Household ; and in the great room on the first
floor the pictures painted by Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE
on the Continent, for his MAJESTY, are to be placed.
Last week, a serious accident beret Col. PARKER,
of the Cheshire Militia, and his Lady, who were pro-
ceeding in a curricle and pair on a party of pleasure,
to Llanberries Lakes, Snowdon. In ascending a
steep hill the pole broke, and the horses being spi-
rited, became unmanageable : the Colonel and his
Lady were thrown out with great viclence. The
former was insensible for some time : both received
I severe contusions, but no fracture took place.
PASISIAN Fasmons.--ILats of open work straw still maintain
their ground, and often round the edge is pined a small wreath
of flowers, or band of fringed straw ; a bunch of musk flowers is
placed on one side the hat, they are the flowers most in vogue.
The name of Barlges-cachtntires is given to those little scarfs of
variegated colours, of which the ends unite, and which are
sometimes formed entirely of one colour, or of white silk of an
extreme fineness.
JUVENILE OPPENDERS.—Since mere confinement'
has been found of so little efficacy in checking the
career of crime in juvenile offenders, the City Ma-
gistrates have determined to adopt another course,
viz. the efficacy of hard labour, economical feeding,
and sound flogging. Five offenders of this class,
William Jackson, James Brunt, Thomas Trinder, John
Brown, and Robert Angell, aged 16, 17, 18, 19, and
21, who were convicted at the last Adjourned Lon-
don Sessions, of attempts to pick pockets, were sen-
tenced each to twelve months hard labour in the
House of Correction, and to be publicly flogged from
the Obelisk at the end of Bridge-street to Black-
friars-bridge, and back again, and yesterday morning
they were escorted from the Giltspur-street Compter
to the spot appointed, where Sherds WA ITIIM AN and
Wil.taasts were in attendance, and the latter fol-
lowed the cart, to see th 4 the ceremony was per-
il:: med. The spectacle drew a concourse of people.
The ceremony lasted rather more than one hour, and
at the expiration the prisoners were consigned hack
to the Compter, to undergo the remainder of the
•
term of their loll' isonincat. •
