We feel that this representation of the ate!. of af.

reality. We could not trust ourselves in giving,+ a cor-
rect & lineation. The evil is too great---its conse-

.11%y 27.—Although the failures have already spread
an universal gloom over this city and the surrounding
neighbourhood, it is not at the pre‘eut moment, we
felt-, that their most distressing consequences ran he
felt. Some merchants who purchased large quantities
of butter have, we understand, returned the article,
out having the usual farilities of paying for it, it
being a chsh article; and several employers have come
to a determination of sus:sending their business, and
illscharginz their workmen, front the like rause.
During the whole of yesterday, crowds of idle 1:eople,
among whom were nuinhers from the country, were to
be seen in the streets, formed into groups, every man
engaged in describing his own tale of distress. It is
indeed a trying crisis.
We have just learned that the notes of Messrs. 1,e%.
lies' were taken in several respectable houses yesterday

Since writing the above, we regret to state that some
indications to riot were manifested by the populace,
who contint:rd to parade the streets with increased
numbers; and but for the prompt interference of our
Itigh Sheriffs and Peace officers, aided by a few of the
militate, the bank of Messrs. Roche would sustain
s •me injury. Three persons were committed to Bride-
well, after which the crowd gradually dispersed. We
would strongly recommend forbearance to those who
would be inclined to break the peace, or do injury in
the present distressed state of the city, as a tendency
t.. insubordination and riot cannot serve them ; on the
contrary, must materially injure them, and will be the
tn Nins of ultimately having recourse to strong measutes
if they be so foolish as to provoke t iseut.---(Cork

THE CORONATION.
..............

WISTMINSTiII AISET.—.I3 the I..irona! ion is the I
t t splendid as well as the most solemn ceremonial
of which tireat Britain can boast, aml as the period is
so distant since any similar proceeding took place, it
is not surprising that such general interest mists re-
garding the preparations for the approaching grand
celebration. The interior of the Abbey will be mag-
nificently fitted up for the'performance of the princil al
ceremony. lite platform which will be raised over the
spare from the Hall will be continued along the
Abbey nave and choir, railed in and covered with blue
cloth. 'lbis platform will be from fifteen to twenty
feet in width ; and on either side will be ranged those
stationed for the purpose of pre%en jug* regularity. In
• the space now occupied by the choir, altar, h.c. will be
raised the stage on which the Coronation will take
plane—in the space formed by the four great pillars,
and under what is called the lantern of the Abbey,
which was rebuilt after the partial tire occasioned by
the negligence of plumbers engaged in repairing the
roof in 11303. This part of the Abbey has hitherto
b..en occupied with the choir and chapel, in which di
vine service was daily performed. 'be whole of dais
at: atrium is being removed. The organ at the op-
posite end of this interior construction. and about
midway between the marble altar-piece and the
west entrance, is also taken down ; the loft re-
mains, and will be occupied by musicians.—Those
who are acquainted with the interior of the Ab-
bey, will easily imagine what an immense space
will be afforded by this removal for the raising of
those preparations requisite to an effective performance
of the Coronation ceremonies. By these alterations
there will be an open space for the erection of galleries,
ik.c. from the Chapels sear Henry the Seventh's Chapel,
to the west entrance, along the aisles, end in the se-
veral transepts; and crossways from the north en-
trance, which is directly opposite to King-street, and
near §C Margaret's Church to the south transept, or
P.iet!a corner. .
The sittings at Ni,i Pries, of the Courts of King's
Beiob and lentmos Pleas in Westminster-hall, having
drawn to a termination on Saturday, the works there
are new Carrying on with greatly increased activity.
flits six new eiotbis windows, fixed ou each side'of the
roof. constructed so as to accord with the architectural
of the building, are now completely opened and nearly
tittished.
Monday there was a great acres ion to the number
