the ear of night." A large party <l,
and the poor were regaled at the p
as fax as a good dinner will satisfy ,
eatisfied. To eke**. the seamy parade -of a few oi
the inhabitants, the Blue Coat charity children walked
in prlcesson to church, gnarded by a Isnisll troop of
Yeomanry Cavalry. On the return of the cavalcade
from church, " Clod save the King" was.performed by
a hired hand of mush inns, when an effort was inane to
raise the huzza! at which—some followers—hurled
off their raps; " some ten voices" joined in the feeble
shout!!! No means conld have made the cause a po:
paler one. 'there is a strong sense of injustice per-
vades the people in tfais country, in relation to this
national ceremonial, on the exclusion of the Queen
from her station : and what they do in it, has all the
cold movement of military discipline. Early in the
day the people began to cry " the Qom, the (tricot!
for ever, etc." when a freak of one of the Dudly Caval-
ry for a moment endangered the peace of the town !
There are a few broken panes, and some casualties.
The notion of making John Bull drunk, to drown all
his sense of right and justice, was well applied.
latvearoot..—The interest excited in this town and
neighbourhood, by the appointment of a day for the
long-expected coronation, was consiilerably enhanced
by combining with it the local and interesting cere-
molly of opening one of the finest (loan which orna-
ments any town in the world. Preparaittis ►were ola
foot for some weeks, but towards the appointed day.l
which promised a general festival; (for, those whose
political opinions urged them to condemn the expetcAve
pageant of the coronation, were, at least, pleased, to.
celebrate the opening of a magnificent basin for the
more substantial purposes of commerce) especially
during the last few days, worl-men were busilyetuployed,
even until dark. The morning.of yesterday was ushered
in by the firing of guns, and the riuging of hero" and many
flags were hung out from the different club-houses of the
Beneficial and Tradesmen's Societies, the churches,
warehouses, and some private houses. Some of the
flags were new, and appropriate for the isolated corona-
tion of the King, but several bore the name of her
Majesty " Queen Caroline," though none of that de-
scription dignified the procession. The morning was
a scene of bustle; and, between nine and ten o'clock,
the differeut societies, intending to join the procession
met at their respective houses of resort. and proceeded
in bodies to the Prince's Dock, whence the grand pro-
cession, was to commence. The whole appeared on
the ground by half-past eleven, and formed a broad
and compact belt round that extensive sheet of water
the length of which is 1300 feet. The scene which
now presented itself was striking. The operative MO* I
ehanics and tradesmen of the town, united with a.'
Light Horse and several companies of a regular Regi-
ment, backed by the mass of the male inhabitants of
the town, from die highest to the lowest, and richly
spangled with the gems of female beauty, all arrayed
iu their best apparel, and in numbers exceeding the
adult population of the town itself, perhaps 80,000
individuals—surrounding in immense basin, where hi-
therto nothing but a solitary buoy had floated—to behold
it receive upon its ample bosom, the beet of many thou-
sands of vessels, that shall waft to our shores the pro-
ducts and the wealth of other climes, even unto ago*
when that gay multitude shall have all mouldered
into dust—formed a spectacle, calculated to arouse at
once feelings of pride and exultation and hope, in the
inhabitants of a town that owes its prosperity and
elevation to the daring of British seamen and the ots-
terprise of British merchants.
At twelve o'clock, the gates were opeued, and seve-
ral boats entered, to fix ropes for the towing of the
vessels into the dock. On the opening of the gates a
royal salute was fired from some artillery planted on
the north pier : the effect was greatly destroyed by
the direction of the wind which carried the sound

down the river. A considerable time elapsed before
the tide rose sufficiently high to admit the entrance of
a ship into the dock ; and the May, a Liverpool-built
staunch West Indiamen, lay fur upwards of an hour in
the basin, surrounded by many other vessels destined
to follow, before she could be towed in. Soon after
one o'clock a salute of nineteen suns was fired from
the north pier, and the May, with her yards manned
and Nags flying, was pulled into the dock amidst the ,
repeated cheers of the expectant multitude. Mr. Kent
" rode the waters" before her, on his Marine Veloci-
pede, having attached to it a line by which he ap-
peared to tow her into the dock. She brought the
dock trustees and a number of gentlemen. The next
vessel that entered wa• the Majestic Steam-ship. After
getting dear of the May she dashed onward to the
end of the dock. Other vessels quickly followed. Im-
mediately in view were the different societies, com-
pletely surrounding the dock, in the order of proces-
sion, with their tia,t and banners gaily Boatiny in the
summer breeze : of these we counted on one side tip-
wards of one hundred and fifty. The procession now
commenced its route towards Dale-street, passing up
Water-street, Dale•street, Shaw's Brow, Islington,
Norton-street, Seymour-street, Russell-street,Chereswo-
street, Rodney-street. Duke-street, Shiterstreet, Bold-
street, Church•street, Lord-street, Castle-atreet. The
romniittee of Management ; the different• corps, with
their officers ; the Mayor's, and five private carriage!
brought up the rear. It was nearly five o'clock when
the procession again reached Dale-street, whence the
different societies dispersed to their several club-rooms.
To speak of the character, politically, which marked
this day of splendour and exertion, we could say, that
during the greater part of the time which was em-
ployed in the opening of the dock, the whole was un-
marked by any tincture of politics---all eyes being
fixed, and all minds absorbed on the more worthy (be-
cause, of the tu•o. the only profitable) pageant, of
opening the new dock fur the purposes of canmierce.
With respect to the reception of the expensively ar-
rayed procession in the different quarters of the town
through which it passed. it appeared to us to more
along self cheered and self-elated, and altogether un-
marked by those hearty rounds of general applause
and enthusiasm, which we have so often witnessed in
the processions of the independent freemen of Livrr-
' pool. In the evening the Worshipful the Mayor ►ave
a grand dinner at the Town Hall, in his usual splendid
style ; and a large party of gentlemen dined together
at the Liverpool Arms Hotel. These, and a variety
of dinners at various club-rounsa, crowned the festi-
vities of the day ; anti, as the evening closed, the
streets were enlivened with cries of "the Queen,"

the day maintained the most respectful silence as a
mark of enineidenee le the objects of the splendid

At Newcastle-upon-Tyne. the day was celebrated by
a rowing match on the river, a fry de joie by the
military on the Town Moor, a procession of the ma-
gistrates to St. Nicholas' Church, fs:c.• After divine
service there the procession returned to the Guildhall,
within which the King's health was drank; and
when the Castle guns began to fire, an elegant new
pant, which had been erected on the middle of the
Sandhi'', began to run wine. This erection was very
handsome, painted to resemble stone, with a copper
dome, and surmounted with a full sized imperial
crown, richly carved and gilt. The pipe was also
gilt, with the Newcastle Arms shove it. We will not
attempt to describe the struggles and the fun exhi-
bited here. One man clung so close to the spout,
that all his clothes forsook him by piecemeal,
before he was rolled away : a sailor amused his com-
panions by climbing up the pant and putting the crown
upon his head, till the smell of the liquor brought
him down ; several others who had got up in the
precious fountain, tumbled, and one wan lay as though
be was dead ; but we could nut ascertain whether he
was really hurt. The pant was demolished when the
wine ceased to flow. From the density of the crowd
it was found impossible fot the military to firie on the
Sandhi'', as had been propo.ed, and therefore there
was a grand brigade on the Moor only.
The roasting of the Oxen at the Spital, and in the
Old Flesh-market, took plate according to the pre-
vious arrangement ; imt the preparations for this part
of the entertainment afforded more gratification to the
curiosity of the minierous visitants, who repaired be-
forehand to inspect them, than to the parties who
were intended to benefit by their operation. The erec-
tion of the fire-places, of the platforms to cut up the
beasts upon, the contrivances of the spits, and the
cranes to lift them, promised an extraordinary treat ;
but from the unskilfulness of the cooks, the event was
not equal to the expectation. The fires were either
lighted too soon, or were too violent ; for, according
to report, the oxen were ready by six o'clock in the
morning instead of twelve at noon, and consequently
bad to remain six hours hanging between the embers.
When they sere hoisted upon the tables, the outside
appearance was nut very inviting, being black and ap-
parently burnt to a cinder ; anti after a number of
well-dressed carvers had begun to cut into them, and
distribute the steaks among the crowd, it was found
that outside appearances in dishes of this size are not
to be trusted to,—for much of the meat was still raw !
In consequence, the carvers in the flesh-market, were
pelted with their own portion,. and after some time,
were glad to make their retreat, being assaulted with
the bricks front the erection, and other missiles. The
crown of the ox, which had been placed on the top of
the crane, was battered down, and a printed paper
about the Queen fixed in its place. The mob after-
wards pulled down the pump, tore up the pipes that
conveyed the beer to it, and committed several other
outrages, but still good humour was dcpieted in al-
most every countenance, and the attackers were pelted
in their turn. At the Spital, things were managed
better. The beef was distil ihuted without any inter-
ruption, save the numerous applicants for a slice, and
the scene afforded much amusement to the spectators
who were assembled un the terrace, town's walls, and
scaffoldings erected fur the occasion. The ale from
the pant continued to run fur a considerable time, but
much of it was wasted in fun. The ale pant at Sand-
gate, performed its office with slue reputation.

STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The panic which took place yesterday in the Funds
seems to have subsided this ►►►orning, as the various
reports then in circulation are now discredited. The
Jew party purchased to a large amount yesterday.
The market is to all appearance getting up. Consols
opened this morning' at 751 76.

Paris papers to the 2.2 d instant arrived this morning.
On Thursday, the King honoured the Duchess of
Hamilton with an audience. It is annonuced that
preparations are making for the Coronation of his
11ajesty Louis XVIII. An article from Vienna, dated
July 10, says, that the Ottoman Porte having thought
fit to recal the Charger d'Affai red, who had been ac-
credited to the Courts of Austria, France, and Eng-
land, having also resolved henceforth to maintain its
political relations by Ambassadors, M. Jean Mauro-
jeni, who, for more than ten years, had discharged
in such au honourable manner Ow functions of Charge
d'Affaires from the Porte, has communicated the
Sth of this month, the letters of recal to his
Excellency Prince Metternich, the grand Chancellor.
It is asserted that Prince Yeetcarcrt is arrived on the
frontiers of Transylvania, with some hundreds of He-
terists ; that he had waited at Hermandstadt, and
that the Austrian government had been disposed from
humanity to allow entrance into Transylvania to the
lieterists who presented theu:selves without anns on
the frontiers of that province. but that it had ►efused
it to die fugitive Araauts, Albastiaas and Walachian'.
