A CORONATION POEM FROM AUSTRALIA.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR—I venture to bring under your attention the subjoined verses which appeared in the " Argus " on the day following the Coronation. They were written by a regular weekly con- tributor, whose pen-name is " Oriel." If you could possibly spare space for them, I think that your readers• will agree that they are worthy of the wider publicity afforded by the Spectator.—I am, Sir, &c., AIISTB.ALIAN-BORN. .Melbourne, Jima 28th.
