circumstance IN the affairs OF the nation
tended to the production of must
brilliant exhibition ON that occasion. It
Is nearly sixty years since a ceremony
of the kind had occurred in the nation,
and OF course it must have been entirely
new to almost every person connected
with 1t, or present to witness it. The
condition of the mechanicks and manu-
facturers, as well as other classes of
the people, strongly urged the necessi-
ty of speRling good deal of money !;
and Though the nation could perhaps
but i'll afford TO throw away any extrav-
agant SUMS on such show, yet multi
tudes of individuals concerned in it are
possessed of great wealth, and might
as well dispose of it in this mode, at
least, as in worse one. The disturb
ance which the Queens affairs had
lately produced, in some measure re-
CURED from the government something
to give an excitement in favour of the
King, to re-instate him in the peoples
good ,oraces. Nothing could he better
:.
his Majesty's popularity, than Corona
.tion-a celebration which would neces-
sarily dazzle the eyes of the multitude
by its extraordinary magniheence, and
at the same. time would, in one shape
and another, contribute to the real COM
fort and qualification of almost every in
dividual in the nation.
For similar purpose, we presume,
the regal expedition to Ireland has been
planned; and we have no doubt it will,
to considerable extent, produce the
desired effect, by rendering the King
much more popular in that important
part of his domimens.

Coronation of the King of England, was in

THE CORO.GaTToN.
The people began to arrive on the
grouad as early as three and four O'Clock,
but in no great numbers. Very easy ac-
cess was obtainable to all parts of the
cStato DIT tcil U ClOCk OF IdIer.
Large bodies of Foot Guard had b.
vouached all night on the ground. Early
in the morning they arranged themselves
in the station they were destined to
occupy, but still sitting and lying down.
A single file Of Foot Guards extended
the whole length of the procession on
each side, occupying narrow edge of
the actual platform, divided by low
wooden railing from the centre part,
covered with green baize. Small square
divisions Of infantry were posted at the
outlets of all the streets leading into the
great open space. The Royal Horse
Guards paraded, two and two, about the
road way, kept on both sides of the
platform, and up and down the neigh
bouring streets. The constables, ordi-
nary and special, were spread about in
every corner.
In addition to the regular troops, Vol
unteers and Yeomanry, with the Hon
durable Artillery Company, were on
duty, occupying the passes into the me-
trorolis, or patrolhng the principal
streets. London in short was in militia
~ occupation, From before FIVE o'clock
the nobility and others, having right of
admission to the Abbey and Hall, arriv-
ed IN rapid succession.
Before six in the morning a consider
able crowd had assembled in front of
the Queens house in South Audley-
street, in expectation of her Maiesty's
Issuing forth. They were not disap-
pointed. The State Carriage, drawn
by six bay horses, sooG made its appear
ance. The Queen was seated in it, at
tended by the Ladies Hood and Hamil-
ton, and followed in a plain carriage by
Lord Hood. She was received with the
usual enthusiasm, and followed by the
through the Parks, out at
torey's-gate, and along Princes-street
TO the great western gate of the Abbey.
The Horse Guards presented arms,
but the Coldstream Regiment took no
notice. When her Majesty arrived in
Dean's-yard, an enthus;astick burst of
applause was heard like an electrick
shock. The great anxiety respecting
her reception at the Abbey now caused
an almost spin drop silence" which |
was still more impressive than the for
ner ebuilition. Her Majesty alighted,
and sought admittance at two small
doors in the great gate; but she was
refused, the door-keepers declaring
they knew nothing about the Queen,
and could only admit persons with the
Earl Marshal's orders. Her Majesty
