It was an entire week before it passed through the intestinal canal, without giving much uneasiness; and was Ibund to be a penknife, about three inches lung, and weighed about three quarters of an ounce.

'fire :_:droner addressed the jury, and retiimed them his thanks ter men very well tinmed observations, aid he should take good care that they b 110411.1 be forwarded to the proper quarter, but he had nu doubt, from the appearance of tanner: inters in the room, the utmost publicity wound be given to what toey fatal said. He then issued hit warrant of commitment to Newgete of the five persons charged. The witnessss were also bound over to prose cute. An immense crowd assembled around tile house, among whom the verdict sirenied to excite considerable sensation. So great is the number of sparrows in the Holmes of Cumberland—and such have been the eilects at their visitation—that the firtners in that part of the country have absolutely been driven to the necessity of forming a society for their destruction, which seems to promise the desired success. The regulations of the society are simply—to give one halfpenny for every four eggs that are delivered to their secretary, and a penny for every old sparrow : and to contribute equally towards tile ;ands. The mortality of the feathered species is, in consequence, very great The ceremony of the Coronation, it is said, will commence at twelve o'clock at u,sm, and end at seven in the evening.

The play was well cast—Mr. Macratei iy did ample justice to KiNg Henry, and Mr. C. Kemble is decidedly the best Prince if I Vales on the stage. Mr. Fawcett infused much humour into his personification of Falls/; and the chuckle of the jolly Knight was admirable. The Coronation, however, was the grand magnet of attraction. It commenced with the King's Harts Woman, and girls strewing flowers, the high Con stable of Westminster, with drums and trumpets, followed by the Sheriffs, Aldermen, the Masters in Chancery, the Law Officers of the Crean', and the Judges ; the Peers and Peeresses dresseu in their robes and carrying the coronets, the King at Arms, the Lord Steward, and Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, the Bishops, and the Lord Chancellor. Then followed the Sceptre of the Cross, the Golden Spurs, . &e. the Usher ot the Black Rod, Heralds, and the Lord Mayor, the Lord Chamberlain preceding the Princes ot• the Blood, and the Royal Insignia ; and last ot ull the Royal Canopy, under which the Kiug walked, supported by a Bishop on each side, and train-bearers Tel trumpets closed the procession.— The characters were all dressed in correct costume, and the arrangements most splendid.
