FIRST comes the hobby of the coronation.
All that is splendid in England will be called
forth. The procession will be the most inn
posing that her luxury and wealth can create.
FROM Miss Frllowcs the herb woman To his
majesty, who leads the van and scatters flow
ers in his path, TO the rabble in the rear, hun
drcds and thousands of all that is royal, and
ncole, and religious, will swell the procession
with every sort and degree of Office, rank or
splendor. Then, the ceremony OF the coro-

near half a million sterling.

where all that is loyal and magnificent in that
oppressed island will be called out TO welcome
the king The ist of August is fixed on as
the day ofthe Irish visit.
The third hobby, is, a trip to .scotland-for
1t IS said, on leaving Dublin, the royal yachts
will sail for the Firth of Clyde, where, in the
neighborhood of Dumbarton Castle the king
will land, and proceed to the mansion of the
Duke of Montrose; from thence, the king will
cross the country TO Dunkeld, the residence
OF the Duke of Athol, and return by Sterling
to Edinburgh. The yachts Will pass through

The fourth Hobby, will probably be o. t,ip
to HdnOcer.- "Lest his royal person should
run any risk by the plague, an order has been
issued that no vessel shall he admitted into

have an opportunity of seeing their king-
Thls too is an honor, which has been denied
to them for SO many years, and for the last
three or four rcis5ns", that it is calculated 10
throw them all into fits OF rapture and allegi-
ancc.-Hosannahs viii! be sung to the king
The mob will he ticklcd.-T'he newspapers

While we may sit at home, 30 laugh at the
tolles OF the " boosted monument of human
nvention."-We shall give our readers "a full
opportunity OF seeing what is going on. Moth
ing is better calculated to disgust us with Mo-
narchy than such farcical exhibitions.
As far rs we can find by cursory search George
2: was the last King, who went out of England. In
lio5, lie visited Hanover vet in that year there were
apprehensons entertained about his gong and a mo
ton was even made in the II. of Lords against it
the motion stating that it article in The orisi-
nal act oi settlement, that the Ming should not 90 to
his foreign dominions, without the consent or paria-
ment that though tnis article was repealed in the
late resn il had always been the custom for his ma
jes'y to acquaini the Parliament with his Intended de-
parture, Nc This motion failcd--it was not second

the last time.-ln 1899, King William was in Ireland
where he gained the battle OF the Boyne. This APP

few words to the Editors ofthe Nation
al ntellgencer.-They " did not expect to
find the Richmond Enquirer steering in the
wake ofthe Washington G. Gazette" IN or has
it done so. Suppose it agrees in opinion on
some points with the Gazette, is this, to steer
in its wake? We might then say with as
much or more propriety, that because the
lnteIilSencer agrees with all the federal ga
zettes upon important constitutional doctrines,
~ Is steering in the wake Ofthe federal papers.
The inslnuation comes with the less grace,
because it is but recently that we resisted some
OF the doctrines of this very Gazette.-But
still less did we expect to see it in that track,
when the only advantage in such course was
TO copy the language of another, in a partcu-
lar which does not, IN our opinion commend
1t to imitation" Now, Il 60 rose by any other
name would smell as sweet" The anglage
OF the Gazette 'caS strons-it is such as we
hope never again to use towards the Intelli-
gencer-willinsly we shall never repeat it
but we thought it was just ; and that the con-
duct of the lntelliscucer had provoked it.
The intellisencer, however, iustifies the
use it makes of Mr.. Jeiferson's letter. And
ITS argument on this point is amusing at least,
II not instructive. After quoting the sentences
from the letter beginning with " a spirit o;
forbearance and COMPROMISE" &C. it adds ;
We submit cheerfully 10 our readers, wha-
llier the above sentence, in letter speaking of
Col. Taylor's book as it does, is moi address.

pointed could Mr.. Jefferson sag, consistently
