LATE FROM ENGLAND.
Hlw-YoRK, SEPTEMBER

ne snip aeon, Lewis, mas arrived
al Boston, from Liverpool, whence she
sailed on the 3oth July. We have re-
ceiecd from him the London Courier, Of
The 2slh July, and Liverpool paper Of
The same date-and, by the politeness Of
passenger in the .fmify, who arrived
in town yesterday morning, we were
esabled to make extracts from London
paper of the evening Of the 5lst.
The Coronation took place on the 10th
July, pursuant to previous notice. The
details Of this event arc given in English
papers.
The Queen, in pursuance Of her de-
clared resolution, attempted TO Chain ad-
mittanse as spectator ofthe Coronation !;
but being nnprovided with the required
tickel Of admission, was refused admit
lance by the door keeper Of Westminster
Abbey, and obliged to return to her car
riage. She was accompanied TO the Abb
bev, and also on her return from the Abb
hey, by crowd, some approving and
some disappearing her conduct.
Some mischief WAS done by the mob
that followed the Queen. The houses
OF the Marquis of Londonderry and Of
the Duke of Montrose were much in
jured; the glass and many Of the win
dow frames having been broken. a re-
port having been spread that body oil
military was approaching, the mob dis
persed.
Cl he occasion Of the Coronation,
numerous naval and military promotions
were made.
His Majesty, it is said, preserved
throughout the day the most dignifcd
composure and self possession; and,
though he was at times evidently much
fatigued, he seemed at the end, to be
completely renovated in strength and
spirits. The King left London on the
night of The Goth, for Windsor, accom-
panied by Sir Il. Bloomfield.
The King was to embark on board his
yacht for Ireland on The 4th of August,
and preparations were making al Dublin
fer his reception.
The Queen had attended Drury Lane,
at the performance of Richard the Third,
and was received with unbounded APP
plause.
The Liverpool Advertiser notices the
arrival in the Martha oil " General Wade
Hampton, one of the wealthiesi and most
distinguished individuals in America"
and Mr.. Kesp, the celebrated actor.
TIE King OF Sweden, and suite, left
Sio ehholin on the 18th July, on Jour-
ney to Norway. He has appointed a
Re. ency,consisting oftwo Ministers and
two Counsellors OF State, for the time of
his absence.
The accounts from Constantinopie
give most melancholy picture OF the
state Of affairs there. The destruction
of the feet had still further exasperated
the Sultan and the popuIace; the houses
of the Greeks were all given up to be
pillaged, and the Jews served as spies
and guides to the populace. The women
and children had either been assassinated
or carried off as slaves. The Greeks,
natives of the Morea, were first given up
to the people; 800, who survived the
massacre, were sold at from 90 to IS
piastres, with the condition that the pur-
chasers would transport them into Asia.
The Albanians had SO irritated the
people, that several wealthy Turks re.
paired to the slave market, and paid IS
piastres merely to have the pleasure OF
killing Greek. One hundred and iif;y
Virgins, whose parents had been pre-
yiously assassinated, and who were of the
first Greek families, amongst them were
two Processes, Morusi, aud Princess
named Maurojene, niece of the Turkish
Charge d'Afairs at Vienna, lately re-
Called were abandoned to the brutality
Of the Turks in open bazaar, at the rate
OF a crown a piece. The greater part OF
these unfortunate young women persisted
in consequence of this inhuman treat
ment. -
