to prevail in those parts of the country which were not
Inn! 'inre in a state of agitation.
" His Ilaie -tv deeply laments fli• distress to which
the agricultura interests, in many parts oldie kingdom,
are Still Subject.

" It will be his Majesty's most anxious desire, by a
'trim attention to public economy, to do all that de-
pends upon Lim, fur the relief of the Country from its

11OUST: OF COMMONS, WEomssoAr, JVLT 11.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at three o'clock.
D 1 r. HUME rose to address the House, but gave way
oil being informed that a persou from the Navy Prim-
o: rye waited without to present some papers.
This person (Mr. Hancock, of the Nary Prize-office)
then appeared at the Bar, and presented a return of
the fees Fal on Navy Prise Accounts. They wereordered
to lie on the Table.
As soon as this was disposed of—
(CORONATION.)
Mr. IiUME again rose to move the Address of which
be had ve‘tertlav given notice. lie stated that he under-
stood the Privy Council to have decided that the Queen
Consort did not at any time possess the right of bring
crowned, and that her Majestys' claims were in
consequence disallowed. This being the opinion
of the Council, he slid not mean to impugn it,
bat his own was of a different nature. lie considered l
that a geod case had been made nut fur her Majesty,
and the denial other tielits would be considered by the
public as another art of persecution, added to the
many whirls she had previously experienced. His
object was to propose an Address to his Majesty,
praying that his Royal Consort might be crowned
upon the ground of expediency. There was no act
which his Majesty had ever dune in his life that would
be so graciously and thankfully received by his people,
as a compliance with such a prayer. And he was
anxious that the King should bare all the merit of
doing it out of his own free will. lie would place
the subject upon this ground, and waive all claiin
as to right on the part of her Majesty. lie
would leave it to the King to do that out of his
own benevolence and kindness, which he (Mr. Hume)
sad her Majesty herself believed to be a matter of
strict right. She had undergone an estraordinary
course of persecution and oppression, and now was the
time for His Majesty's Ministers to advise him to
do a great and noble act, which would in
some degree atone for the past. Was her Majesty
the Queen, the only person to be denied the pri-
vileges granted to the Royal Family, of at least being
present at the Coronation, if she was not to partici-
pate in that ceremony: it was now within eight
days of the time appointed for it, and she knew not
in what situation she was placed. Perhaps, even if
she presented herself as a spectator, she would
be refused admittance, and thus another disgrace
would be thrown upon her. Upon grounds of expedi-
ency it was that he wished to recommend the coronation
of her Majesty, and he was not calling upon the House
for Yoe much when he wished thew to agree to an Ad-
dress for that purpose. He n-assure that nothing would
so much tend to preserve the peace and tranquillity.
of the Metropolis upon the approaching solemnity,
as his Majesty's consenting to perform' this act noble
and geserously. He then proceeded to read the Ad-
' dress which be was about to more. when the Black
Rod knocked at the door of the Howse.
The Deputy Usher of the Black Rod appeared at
the Bar to summon the House to attend is the House
of Peers to hear the Royal Speech.

I. I have just rem; ned from witnessing an awfnl spec-
tacle—the body of the deceased thmetal Bonaparte, late
the terror of the whole of Europe. The Honourable
Company's ship Waterloo anchored bergs% three o'clock
on the afternoon of the t!d instant, and Napoleon de-
parted this life at ten minute.; past six o'clock, on Satur-
day the sth, after an illness of some time of a compli-
cated nature, dropsy, liver, &c. The cause a.•igned for
his death by the medical men sag a cancer in the
stomach.

tt I may say 1 had the earliest opportunity of seeing
him, and of bring in his co:slimly, of any prison on the
island, and nearly the last view and touch of his body.
I lived under the same roof for seven werhs on his first
arrival, and had an opportunity of having a great deal
of conversation with hint ; during ri bids time lie was
very pleasant and agreeable n its the family I resided with:
since which 1 have sehl seen him until to-day, when
he was lying in the frill drt :a of a General of a Legion
of Honour, and appeared to be more Mit. a person asleep
than a corpse, and very little altered front when 1 first
saw him. fin his countenance there was an appearance
of a pleasant smile.
" Ile is to he interred on Thnrsday next, at four
o'clock. on a spot chosen by himself some tithe previous
to his ileitis. It is under a willow tree (about ten yards
from a spring of water, from which he has been supplied
ever since his residence at Longwood). in a valley called
by the natives the' Devil's Punch and at this
moment there are 1110 men employed cutting a road for
the body to hr carried along; he is to he buried with
the military honours of a General.
" The road front Longrt wad forms an almost level cir-
cle of three miles round tl place where he is to be bit.
1e has verified his assfftirm. that he would never
live in the house erected for him, rshich is finished and
furnished ready, save and except some trifling work in
the offices. As every comfort was consulted fur him, no
expense was spared.
t• I saw Madame Bertrand and her family. She looks
very much mitered far the orse. as also does the Count.
Montliolun seems to preserve his health better than sus-
of the rest.

ment has b.o,n about which makes the numbers
in ElinburJi a:,.1 Leith amount to nearly 139,000,

the parish of Leslie, in Fife, by the census jest

—total, 2.2 e.). In 1901 the popnlatiun of this parish
was 1,6419, and in isii it was 1,892. The increase
is to be attributed to the spinning-mills and bleach-
fields in the parish.
The population of the parish of Alphington, near
Exeter, amounts to 4 males and 588 females ; Total
1070. There has been a diminution of 20 males and
an increase of IN females, since the last census in

[ISOM THE BOSTON CENTINELJ
" ORATITCDE!—After a very respectable audience,
and more numerous than some of those which the
truly great Cooke played before, had assembled at
the Theatre, to see Richard the Tiird, Mr. Kean took
it in his head that the audience was unworthy of lois
merit, bolted from the Theatre, announcing to the Ma-
nager that he should play no more, and that he was
preparing to leave town. The audience received this
spedosen of rude superciliousness with marked con-
tempt. The play proceeded without interruption, Mr.
&iron n amply supplying the place of the runaway."

" Tug THEATBIL—A few minutes before eight
o'clock List evening, Mr. Doff appeared on the stage,
and announced to the audience that Mr. Keen lad re-
fused to take the part east him (Richard III.) without
assigning any reason for so doing, and that be was
then preparing to leave town. (in the rising of the
curtain, there being some slight disturbance, and a
call for the Manager, Mr. Duff again appeared, and
stated that Mr. Kean had been during the day repeat-
edly importuned by the Manager, and his friends, to
appear in the part, but that be absolutely declined.—
Mr. D. on being questioned, said he believed the rea-
son of Mr. K.'s conduct was west of patronage.
