TIM CORQNATION.

A Pries? Council was held yesterday at Carlton-bons',
at which; it is rumoured, the precise period on which
the Coronation of his Majesty is to take place, was final-
Ir settled. Three days have been spoken of, the 12th,
the lab, and the 18th of July. The latter, it is thought,
will be considered as the most convenient, and it is nut
improbable that the subject will be officially notified in
the Onsette of to-night.
The preparations in Westminster Hall and in the Ab-
bey are proceeding with all due celerity; and 4he de-
partment of the Board of Works anticipate completing
their labours by the Ist of July. There will still remain
mach to do in the decorative parts.
The erection of the raised platform, extending from
Westminster Hall to the Abbey, as sill as the stable for
the Champion's and three other horses, will be cow-
-1
menced iu the course of the coming week.
The frame-work of his Majesty's Throne, which will
be covered with a sgeare canopy, similar to the old
Throne in the House of Lords, has been commenced.

This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, who are
porcelain manufacturers, residing at iVorcester, against
the defendant, a gentleman of fortune, to recover the sons
of 341. Go. for goods sold and delivered.
There was mach contradiction in the evidence in this
case; but nothing of particulr r interest occurred, except
that in consequence of some information elicited from
one of the witnesses, the Lord Chief Justice expressed
his regret that a practice so pernicious as that of giving
money to the servants of other masters, should have be-
come so prevaleat.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages,
.C 54 6s. Costs, 40s.

ing slate at the window, a mob soon assembled, and
committed serious outrages upon the house before they
discovered their error. lle was taken to an Hospital,
where it is expected he will recover.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

_~

On Thursday afternoon, after the departure of Mr.
Alderman SMITH from the To►vn Hall, Southwark, a per•
son almost breathless, ran into the Justice-room, to re-
quest the assistance of some officers in Blackfriar's•road,
where an enraged mob were pulling a house down.
Reeves. the Marshaloran, and George Welfare, one of
the constables, accompanied this individual to the house
in question, which turned out to be a brothel, where
they found several hundred persons, breaking the win-
dows, and endeavouring to force open the door. The
officers inquired the cause of the disturbance, and were
informed that a gentleman had been enticed into the
house, and there was great reason to believe had been
robbed and murdered, as he had been seen at the
window with his throat cut across, and struggling
with two other men, one of whom held the razor,
with which it was supposed they had inflicted the
wound. The officers, on receiving this alarming
intelligence, knocked at the door, which was soon
opened by a female, who was in tears; and her version
of the story was, that a gentleman had cut his own
throat in consequence of having lost all his money at
play. She conducted them into a room up stairs, where
they found a young man of gentlemanly appearance,
stretched on a sofa, with an extensive wound in his
neck; two men and some females *minded him, and
were endeavouring to staunch the blood. The con-
stables sent a messenger for a surgeon, but, under all
the circnm•tances, refused to let ;:ny of the people in
the house leave it, lest it should turn out that violence
had been exercised towards the gentleman, and souse of
them might be implicated in his murder; they therefore
got a person in the crowd to fetch a nighbotiring sur-
geon, who attended promptly, and whose exertions soon
restored animation. As soon as tl►e young man could
speak. the officers questioned him, and in a faint tone, fre-
quently interrupted by weakness, lie gave the following
account of himself:—His name he said was —, and
about a week or ten days ago he came to that house
(where they found him,) in company with a young wo-
man, of whom he was very fond ; he had a considerable
sum of money in his possession, but he was soon per-
suaded to gamble, and in a few days his fortune passed
into other hands; and the lady with whom he came to
the house finding his money was gone, abandoned him.
and began to lavish her fa►ours on another man. This
so enraged him, that in a tit of despair he seised a razor,
and before any one could prevent him he cut his throat;
he was going to repeat the blow, when the two MPH lOW
were present seised the weapon, east wrenched it from
his grasp. He nest rushed to the window, with a view
of precipitating himself into the street ; but hers he was
again defeated, wad the persons in the street, seeing him
wounded and bleeding. flattest the two' men were asses-
! eisatinthini. By the advises of the medical genttemati,
a coach was sent for, and he wilt eonmilynd to theltospi-
ltd. His friends are said to be highly respectable.

The prisoner, *bee called oa by the Magistrate for
tfts defence, said that sheer bonpr bad induced hiss is
commit the crime. He deolarwithat he had sot tasted
foot dace Wednesday last, till the 'Akers who took
kiss isto custody gave him a little bread and cheese and
carter. He was a native of Nottingham, he said, and
boss apprenticed to a lime:draper is London.
Having served his apprenticeship, his father set him up
in business for himself In the Strand. Shortly after-
wards he married a young woman he had become ac-
quainted with in London. His business was unsuccess-
ful; and his father refused to assist him further, be-
cause be bad married imprudently; upon which his
wife also deserted him, observing that she saw plainly
he would never do any good, and she would stop with
him no longer. He then endeavoured to procure a
situation, bat could not succeed, and bad inconsequence
been literally starving for the last three months
sleep-
ing sometimes in a barn, or tow-shed, and sometimes in
the open fields; and dragging on a miserable existence
in the day-time, by the stinted charity of a former ac-
quaintance. He declared he would be willing to labour,
even at sweeping the streets.
The prosecutor partly corroborated this attosuoto he
having known him in his better days, and he wished le
decline prosecuting him further.
The Magistrate told him he was sorry for his misfor•
tunes; but he was still more sorry that a person who
had moved in a respectable sphere should, under any
circnantaaces, have been tempted to place himself is
such a disgraceful situation. "As it is,' he concluded,
" I sit the best thing I can do for you will be to
commity under the Vagrant Act for seven days,
sad then have you passed to your parish."—" Sir,"
replied the prisoner, " I will thank you upon my
knees even for that."—He was committed accoatisty.
EPSOM RACES.—Two cart-loads of prigs, ergs,
knoldillers, duffers, and garter-prickers, were brought
in by a party of the dismounted horse-patrol, last night,
from the racecourse at Epsom, and after the officers had
made a short deposition against them, they were com-
mitted for further examination.
