The Coronation.
The long talked ot Coro anon in England,
app :ir* to be at length finally fixed—ami
George IV. will, in all probability, be crown-
Jd in July. The 19th ot the present month,
s stated in the papers, is the day appointed
for the consummation of this event, which
has occupied a part of the English papers
for a long time past. Great preparations
have been made I*:- a brilliant di .play ion this
occasion.— The following is a description of
the new crown, sceptre, Lc.
The Crown.—His majesty will be crown
ed wnlithij ancient crown of England The
new crown is intended to he worn im nedi
ately after that solemn form has taken place.
The former has, however, received several
improvements and embellishments, and fur
in».>y false jewels real ours have been sub.
atituled. the crown, made expressly for
Ilia present majesty, presents an appearance
of me unvaried ma*» of diamonds. The
curve of its branches, which meet at the top
to support the ball, is not so iliarjvas the old
one ; it is more ex'ended and graceful, and
the w hole is consequently much higher.
The velvet with which it is orns neifted is
unlike the old one, w hich is purple—it is a
beautiful crimson colour The whole is sur
mounted by a pearl oi mi nense value.
Tie Sceptre. -llis majesty's sceptre with
across, called the Sceptre Royal, is of solid
gold ; the handle p ain but the upper part
wreathed. Its length is 2 feet 9 inches ;
the pommel at the bottom is enriched with
ru'ne- and small diamonds, and for five inch
es and a half above the handle, it is curious
ly embossed and embellished with sapphires,
rubies, emeralds aid diamonds. The top
rises into a Jleur dr li). enrich-d with preci
ous stones; above this is an amethyst, va
lue LIi.OOd surmounted by a cross, wholly
Covered with precious stones, with a large
table diamond in the centre.
The Sacred Oil. — the golden vessel which i
will contain the sarred nd is in the form of
an eagle with its wings extended upon a ue
desial of pure gold, finely chased. The
h* *1 -cr ws ill e i* nil >f the
neck, for the convenience of putting in the
oil. which pours through the beak into the
spoon. Iho height of this is 9 inches ; the
breadth from the points of the wings, 7 inch
es ; the weight between 8 and 10 ounces ;
and the body capable of c mtainmg 6 ounces
of oil. l'lie anointing spoon is of pure gold,
With 4 pearls in the broadest part of the
ha idle : the bowl of the spoon li tejy chas
ed ot curious antique workmanship.
The Stuff —His majesty's staff is about 4
feet 7 1-2 inches in length, of solid gold,
Weighing 81b. 9.>z. with a pike or font of
•tec! shout 414 inches in length, and a hall
end cross at the top ; the ornaments of sim
ple raised gold ; three ddferent fillets or
bandages of leaves, arc at equal distances ;
Us diameter it 3-4 of an inch. Idle hall is
of pure gold, w.ill a raised bandage of pre
cious stun-s encircling it—ami a half cross
upon an amethyst of immense vu ue, as a
pedestal.
The Spur*. —Are of pure gold, richly cm
h, -scd. Ihei are tne same worn by Wil
liam the Conqueror, and have nlam points
it.-tealot mwels, fhcbracelets, supposed
to h>vo been w. rn by W.lliam, were of
pis o gold, but have been enamelled for the
( lining o casion with the Hirp.tii- Hustle,
tlx diiamn-ck. and the Bose, alternately.
: | The Sward.—t The Sword of State is a ve
| ry large two handed swoid, with a rich scab
board of crimson velvet, adorned with gold
plates olkthe Hoy a I badges. -
The lting.—H,n Majesty's CorJhation Ring
is of plain gold, with a large ruby violet, on
which is curiously enchased a plain cross, or
cro-s of St. George.
The Saltcellar.— ls of pure gold, and a mo
del of the White Tower of London.—The
four corner towers and the large centre one,
separately contain salt, d here are a*o oth»
er smaller saltcellars of immense value.
The king’s visit to Ireland is now spoken
as a matter of certainty ; he w.ll be accom
panied by his royal highness the Duke of
Clarence, the Duke of York, the Duke of
Wellington, the Secretary of State for the
Ho ne» Department, and a large train of mi
bi.ity, exclusive of those in tlie king’s per
soual suite. The Chester Chronicle says,
“ the Hurds of Cambria are summoned to
welcome their prince in the impressive and
hearty manner of" the days of olden times.”
The minstrels are to be under the superin
tendence of J. Parry, Esq. of London. On
such an occasion Wynnatay will indeed be
in her glory, and the heart of every ancient
Briton will leap in his bosom I”—Great pre
parations are making at Wynnatay to fit up
apartments in the mansion of the Marquis
of Anglesea. llis majesty will enter the
house under a splendid canopy of crimson
velvet ; the room in which he is to sleep is
also hung tvirh crimson velvet, and gold and
silk lace, Sic. be.
The Duke of Clarence has petitioned Par
lia i.ent tounhance his income L 6ooa year.
An allowance of tiie above sum had been
proffered by Parliament to the Duke in
! 1818, but he then declined it, — llis expenses
having -uh-iquently increased, he petitions
Parliament not only for the allowance, but
for the arrears yearly, which had been ten
dered to him in 1818. The subject caused
considerable debate in the House of Com
mons. Many of the members who were
willing to grant the additional allowance,
did not like to pay np the arrears. Sir I.
Yorke said he was reminded on tins occa
sion of an old proverb, and he thought it
would not he amiss to act upon it:—
“ He that will not when he may,
“ When he will he shall have nay.”
' The house voted to allow the arrears, by
I majority of 76.
The London Courier of June 9, say s—
; “Mr. Macrcady had his benefit last night,
j The house was completely filled—a brilliant
audience ; and what is more valuable to
him, as welt as more interesting to the pub
lic, liis Humid proved one of tne finest and
most completely successful performances
we have Witnessed.’* The tragedy con
i eluded amidst universal acclamation, and was
followed by Three ITeeks ufier Marriage, m
j which Mr. Macreadv pliyed Sir Chants
Rack'd with great applause.
| At the court of com non pleas, Westminis- '
■ ter, June 7, an action ivu3 tried to recover
i damages for a breach of promise of marriage.
| Ann S >phia lludd was the plaintiff, and
I I tiomas Duggin defendant. Damages were
j laid at HUM. It appeared that Mr. Dug’gin
had paid llis addresses to the young lady,
and promised her marriage, hut broke oil'
Ins visi s, and refused to perform his enguge
m m, as the lady had boasted of a love ali ..r
i the once had with a midshipman in the navy,
| and also led him to believe she was the j
heirc.-s of an estate ; she had also been guil
ty ot prevarication. Mr. Sergeant Vaughan,
for tin defence, hoped the jury tvuuld not
hsve their passions inHuenetd by the p on
tiff, who was in their full view, (die plaintiff
w a-silling in ihe gallery opposite the jury]
with tier pi city lace and her handsome bon
net. Her feelings no doubt were agonized,
they might behold her pining in thought— ’
‘. iffretion, like a worm i’ the bud
Preying on her damask cheek.”
There she sat in green and yellow melan
choly. However, he thought from her
appearance ili.it she was like y to survive
the present shock ; and he dared to say,
when she procured their verdict, if she got
one, she was quite 'ready to exclaim, with
Dry den—

London and provincial markets wi.h forged
notes, through the instrumentality of a third
person’, who had been apprehended in Lon
don by Floy tne bank officer, with forged
notes in his possession. Upon his confes

and their premises searched, in which were
found Id.UOOi. in amount of forged notes,
with the p ates from which they were struck ;
and, upon his testimony (lie having been ad

j were convicted at die last Warwick assizes,
i —(i i Thursday night last, the three w ves
, and fifteen children of the unhappy men i
were allowed to visit them, a few hours pri- J
or to their dissolution. The scene was heart I

knowing their fathers’ unhappy condition, j

and remained insensible upon the knee ot
her husband for more than en hour. At the
appointed time for separating them rom
each other, they were obliged to be drag
ged from their husbands’ arms by actual
force, and the sight was truly distress.,,g.
On Friday morning they were brought to
the scaffold. Batkin, whose g. let had over
whelmed him, hedged that he might be *i
lowed to give the fatal signal to the execu
tioner A handkerchief was given to him
for that purpose ; but after they were all ti

lie continued praying, and declared that he
could not die. Du being requested by Ins
fellow sufferers not to keep them in sus

snatched it from his grasp, and exclaimed,
“ we have lived like men, and let us die so,
and threw the handkerchief on the ground.
The drop instantly fell and in a few minutes
their'sulferings were ended.
MR. WEST AND NAPOLEON.
During the short space ol 18t)2, when
Bonaparte was first consul of the French
republic, the late president of the royal
academy of England was amongst the
crowd whom curiosity prompted to visit the
gay metropolis ot France, fits eminent tal
ents, how ever, and the distinguished char
acter which they had so deservedly ac
quired, did not suffer him to remain long
amid that crowd unnoticed. He was visited
by every man ot rank, or literature, and, a
inongst the rest oy those ministers wliu
were most in the confidence of ttie first
consul. Mr. West had determined, before
his departure from England, for some pri
vate reasons ot lus own, to decline any
presentation at the court ol St. Cloud, to
which he was given to understand he would
have been a very welcome visiter. Before
lie was o.ig m Paris, this determination was
as-ailed by a host ot polished and fluttering
remonstrances, the ministers were "sure
that such a man as the English artist could
not fail to meet from such a patron ot the
arts as Napoleon, a distinguished reception j”
and obscure hints and complimentary in
sinuations, equally unavailing were follow
ed by a declaration iliat the great Napoleon
had condescended to express a wts i upon
the subject. Mr. West, however, remain
ed inflexible, alleging some slight excuse
for Ins non-compliance, and evading the
request as dexterously as possible. So.
floatation at length became weary, and Mr.
West appeared relieved from an embarrass
ment wnich some personal and prudential
considerations bad rendered sufficiently per
plexing. Inc affair died away, and in about
a week afterwards, he was surprised, while
at breakfast by a visit from one of the di
rectors of the Louvre. Alter some de
sultory conversation, he was invited to be
present at the gallery, of the institution upon
th t day, to inspect some busts, which weie
aboutio be erected, and to tavor the directors
with his judgivient as to their relative posi
tion. 1 here was no postulate motive for a
refusal, and they proceeded to the gal lory,
where Mr. West was soon surrounded by a
croud ol artists, all ol whom appeared at
tired in some official costume, which, how
ever, lie was induced to attribute to ill"
etiquette us the occasion.— In a short time,
he was most flatteringly bui most perplex
ing') 1 undeceived.—A bustle .n tbe amich.im
b,-r seemed to announce some unusual occur
rence. In i moment, the doors Were throw;;
open, and in walked Napoleon, in his little
cockade h at and simple uniform, billowed by
a gorgous suit of thirteen generals, the lu
ture dukes ami viceroys and monarch* of his
creation! “ Where is the president of the
a ts u England ? ’ was the ahrup- and im
mediate interrogatory of the firs, consul.
I'he preident, more dead than alive, uiadt
a most disconsolate appearance, ami was
instantly sain cd with— ’ Well, Mr. Wet,
you would not coine to visit me, therefore
l have been obliged to come and visit you
j a* 1 should regret your return to Englain ,
without bei.ig acquainted—'There is an a
- ot yours here already—ggrea
favorite of mine, 1 assure you;” and th.
first fine spirited sketch of death on tin
poe horse was forthwith produced to its
astonished author. Bonaparte inquired
whether that sketch was ever to be coin
ple’cd on the scale it deserved, and for
whom it w as intended. On bti :g informed r
was for the late king—‘Alt, said he, tile ki g
of England is a good rain—a very religmu
man.’ They then proceeded through tht
Louvre, and when they arrived at the bus*
inti-nded to be erected on that day. Bona
parte paused, folded h,s arms as he is re
pr.s. ntetl in his statues, and aftei appearing
to contemplate one of them with peculiar
thoughtfulness, he turned to the English
vister—‘M- West, if I had my choice, I
would sooner be the original oftha< bus.
than any man I ever heard or read of.’ ‘ I
was burning, (said Mr. West relating the
anecdote to the writer,) to tell him that In
had it at that moment in his power, by u
cnficing Ins ambition, and establishing the
liberties in his country, to be the very mam’
—lt vua the bust of ii'ashington. Napoleo..,
no doubt, did not forget that the English
artist was an American. Such were the arts
by which this extraordinary individual drew
a circle round him, wherever he moved
which none ever entered without being fix
ed as by fasclnaiion.

the vaccination of dogs.
&r—ln your paper Saturday, -here
is a paragraph from the Kentish Gazette,
stating that four D g* belonging to a Nob'.-
Marquis, had been i .nculated with cotv-pock
matter, as an experiment to ascertain if it
would be a prevention of the distemper.—
Perhaps you may think the following facts
deserving of being mad : - public through the
medium ot the Courier :—James Dearbnn
F.q. of the Orchard, Rochdale, wa-unable
for several years, to rear a -ingle Dug .
whether he kept them at home,or sent them
out to quarter, they all died of distemper.
About tour or five years ago, he begm to
luve them vaccinated, and since that time
not one Dog has suffered from :t. The
operation has been performed when the
D ip were from six weeks to two months old,
and the matter has a:ways been inserted on
j tne inner surface of the ear, on a part as free
; troiu ha;r as possible.
It is clearly proved from the efficacy of
I cow-pock inoculation in preventing small
pox in the human subject, and the distemper
| m Dogs, that tiie introduction of a new dis-
I c ; ls0 i«to an animal will destroy the suscepti
i bility of that animal to diseases to which it
; was previously liable ; and hence it bee mes
I a question observing of consideration, whe-
ther • practice founded on this principle,

Friday, lus machine for walking upon water,
in one of the new wet docks at Leiih. The
novelty of the circumstance drew together*
considerable crowd to witness the uncom
mon scene. The apparatus consisted of*
triangle of about 10 feet, formed on rods of
iron, to each angle of which was affixed a
case of block tin. filled with air, and com
pletely water tight. These little boais or
cases seemed to be about 2 feet and a half
long, by about 1 foot and a half broad, and
served to btuy up the machine and its su
perincumbent weight. These cases, we un
derstand, are filled with little hollow bails,
attached by a chain, and capable of floating
the machine, should any rccident happen to
the outer case. From the centre of the little
boats ro=e other rods, bent upwards, so as to
meet in the middle, at a convenient height,
and forming at this junction a small seat or
saddle, like that of the common velocipede.
Like that machine, likewise, it has a cush
ion for the breast, and ropes or reins to
guide the case at the apex of the triangle ;
a.>d upon the whole the motion is produced
in nearly the same manner. When in the
seat, Mr. Kent's feet descended to within a
few inches of the water; and to his shoe*
were buckled the paddles, made of block tins
likewise, and having a joint yielding in one
direction, so as not to give a counter motion
to the machine when moving the leg forward
for a new stroke. Uis heels rested in stir
rups attached to the saddle, and the motion
was performed by the alternate action of the
I feet. Mr. Kent started about half past two
' o'clock ; and after Various evolutions, cross
| ing and re-crossing the dock several times,
j and firing a fowling piece, which, with a
l flailing rod, was buckled to the rod in front
j ul die saddle, he proved, to the satisfaction
1 of the numerous spectators, the complete
safety of his machine, and the practicability
ot using it even for a considerable distance, r

1 i BUCKS COUNTY BANK.
t Doylctloim, {Bucks County,) July 10.
Some alarm existed, last w.tek, relative
[ to the affairs oi the Farmers’ Bank of Bucks
county. I'ne causes til this may be gathered
from the following statement of what are
believed to be facis.
On Saturday, tlie 30th June, the presi
dent ~i the bank was arrested in Philadel
phia, and bound over to answer the charge
of conspiring, with others, to destroy the
sloop Norfolk at sea, with intent to defraud
the insurers.
On Monday, he was removed by the direc
tors from the presidency, and Janie. Moon
j appointed president, pro, ton. in lus
room. On lutsuav the nut upon the bank
w:e, very great, anti the directors (whosince
Sunday had been intently engaged in an ex
amination into the situation of the bank,}
bought proper to close its doors and stop
payment of i s notes. On Wednesday the
’ notes of the bank wire said to he at a dis
count of 45 per cent, in Philadelphia.
Prom this statement it is apparent that
there was a reasonable ground ofapprehen
fuvt, but it is confidently believed, from a
nrict examination made by die directors
hat the bank is not only able to pay all its
, lines, but that after their payment its capi
, -I stock will be nearly or quite unimpaired,
lie directors have given the most solemn
ssurances of its solvency to all enquirers,
and from their high standing and tespottsi
nility as men of wealth and character no
l.iubt can be entertaind, of the correctness
t the statements they have made ; the delay
it payment will not, it is believed, exceed
iinrly days; it will therefore he folly in the ’
• elder ot a note to take a cent less for it than
die amount it cahs tor. The directots in
eml as soon as practicable to publish a state
nenl of their affairs for the information of
he public.
