King.
It is exerted titatthere will be a batch of new Peers
created Gs the ceremonial of the Coronation. Beside.
the advancement of several Peers to higher titles, we
have heard the names of Mr. Forrester, Sir James
Siemeren, Sir Welkin Williuns Wynn, and two or
*three Irish Peers to be made Uritish.
Prince Leopold and the Duchess of Kent with the
Princess Peodor, attended by Sir Robert Itartiner and
Colonel Addenbroke, yesterday honoured Mr. Matthew
Wyatt with a visit to view the three figures which he
has finished in marble, for the Cenotaph to the memory

much affected, and the Duchess appeared greatly inte-
rested; they expressed the highest admiration of the

work.
Qualm's Wsvcc—The watch subscribed for by
the inhabitants of Coventry to be preseoted to h ..r Ma-
jesty, was on Tuesday and Wednesday last setbalitted
to the Inspection of the public. The case is double
hottest, with embossed edge, and consists of bee gold.
The &al is also of fine gold, and represents the royal
arms engraved in the centre, encircling the garter;
the matte of the latter, " Evil be to him that evil
thinks," and that of the arms, " God sad my right."
at impressed in English. It has a rich friend

ad, and the figures are of the Roman chat:ultra
• bands are of the serpent pattern with steel poiats,i
The movement is of the lever description, wi:b a de-
tacked escapement, the acting part of the escapement
formed of rubies. The movement is principally of
gold, the upper plate representing the Crown : and
the works are kwelleil throughout with rubies, hav-
ing diamond ends. The watch is so constructed as to
display the whole of the works through a (lase. The
back of the cue has the following inscription :—" Pre-
sented to her Majesty Queen Caroline, as a mark of
their esteem for her character and admiration of hir
conduct under unmerited persecution. by the inhabit-
ants of the city and county of the city of Coventry,
1821." The watch is manufactured by Messrs. Mayo
and Clark, and being in all its p its the entire produc-
tion of Coventry, may be regarded as a favourable
specimen of the perfection which the art of watch-
making has attained in that city.
New You, Arm L 30.—Mr. Kean's performance of
Othello.last night. was such as to give universal satisfac-
tion, and elicited from adelighted audience almost unre-
mitting applause. Whatever doubts may have been en-
tertained of his talents as an actor, by those who saw
him fur the first time on Monday eeeuine. we believe
that the peblic sentiment is now very decided, that his
merit justly entitles him to that admiration which lie
lies so generally excited. Indeed, we do not recollect
ever to have seen an audience more highly gratified.

The Borough of i'eters6eld, which, by the decision
a few days ago, of the 2d Committee of the House of
Common', is sow declared to be free and open, and
the right of voting to be, in every Freeholder, frith-
oat any reetrietion, after having been closed for a
century, forms a striking proof of what asaLbe dose by
perseverance. Some old Charters found a four psis ago,
brought to light the rights of the Pet•fidil people,
which had so long been usurped from theerm The re-
sult must be gratifying to every friend of Reform, and
althandsosly sue tisk In the chain of corruption is
destroyed, the example of this plan mast be attended
with beneficial effects to other Boroughs in similar el-

tuatiooe.
0:1 Thursday week, the citizens of Derry gave to
Mr. Lawless, the Proprietor of The. Irishman, a public
dinner in return for the efforts he has made in the cause
of Civil and Religious Freedom.
We understand that upwards of 3.1 farmers, now

On Weimesday, Dr. Home was elected Professor of
the Practice of Medicine io the University of Edin-
burgh, vice the late Dr. James Gregory. The num-
bets were—for Dr. Home 17; Dr. Alison 9 ; Dr. San-
ders I. Dr. John Thomson, Dr. Duncan, jun., and
Dr. Abercronshy, withdrew their names previoos to

We are informed that the Earl of Breidalbane, Lord
Glenorchy, Sir Neil Menzies, and other Noblemen and
Gentlemen in that part of the country, have subscribed
in the most liberal manner towards establishing a
coach between Duukeld and Kenmore, to communicate
with the coach from Perth to Dunkeld. The commu-
nication between Perth and the Highlands will therehy
be greatly facilitated. It is also said that a coach be-
tween Stirling and Lochearn-head is in contemplation,
in the event of which a coach or noddy between
Locheara-bead and Kenmore will he established, so as
to have regular conveyances on the whole circle of the
fashionable Highland tour.--(Perth Conrier.)
GLesoow.—Of all the propel!' for improving and
embellishing this city, there is none that seems so ju-
dicious as the following :—The plan is, to erect a mag-
nificent building at the bead of Virginia Street, and
along Ingram Street, to comprise a Merchant's Hall.
Writer's Hall, Exchange, and Coffee-room. By thus
combining the objects, the expense of each will be
comparatively trivial. The situation is admirable ;
and from the constant progress of the town westward,
it may be considered central.

England and Sir Stephen Lushington. with 13 country

issue an order suspending for three months the
operation of the tariff. Meantime an appeal will
be made to Spain, for the total abandonsneut of the

New Tons, MAT 8.--Capt. Bicker from St. Do-
mingo city, informs that the export duty of 30 dollars
per so. on mahogany, agreeable to the new Tani, was
to go into operation the 6th of May lost. As this ditty
would amount to a prohibition to foreigners. the
dealers were much exasperated by the regulation.
