THE CORONATION Menar.s.—The Earl Marshall issued yesterday a notice calling
on the Peers to send to the proper office for their medals ; yesterday also four londred and fifty were delivered to the members of the House of Commons. Only about four hundred member were.pre- sent, but several received two medals, in consequence of attending in two capacities. The silver medal which is for sale presents a very handsome and faithful likeness of the King on the one side, and of the Queen on the other. The only objection is its small size. DON PEnno.—The ex-Emperor was prevented from attending the Coronation, by a severe cold. THE CHURCH or Inzi-ssin.—It appears that Ministers contemplate some effectual measure with a view to remedy the gross defects of the Church of Ireland. Mr. Hume has postponed his motion on the subject of the See of Derry, on the assurance of Lord Althorp, that in filling up that and other Irish Sees, a distinct announcement would be given to the holders, that their emoluments would be subject to such regulation as Government might see fit to recommend. LOUTH Couxry.—An active canvass has been commenced by the friends of Mr. Perrin, in place of Mr. Alexander Dawson.
PLAIN PROOFS OF HYDROPHOBIA.—The following bit of "best pos- sible public instruction" appeared in the Morning Papers of Thursday. "Yesterday, a very fine horse, belonging to the prison-van for Tothill Fields, was discovered to be insane. it appears that about a month ago, a large Newfoundland dog strayed by chance into the stables where the prison-van-horses are kept, or put up, in Drury Lane, and was permitted to sleep along with them ; though at times he betrayed signs of snappish. ness, and had bitten two or three persons who frequented the livery- yard, Something strange was remarked in one of the horses when put.. ting him; into the stables on. Tuesday night, where he plunged, and pawed much with his fore-feet. The very next morning, on going to the stable to prepare the animal for his daily task, he was found foaming at the mouth, grinding his teeth, and pawing violently; when a knacker was sent for, but it was impossible to attack him with the pole-axe in the usual way. Throwing a rope about his neck, he was at length chained up to a post ; by which precaution his throat was effectually cut ; though he was worth 251. at least ; and it is now conjectured that this ne animal must have been bitten by the Newfoundland dog before men- tioned, which has disappeared." AN AIRY RESTING-PLACE.- On Sunday morning a devotee of Bacchus, -was found fast locked in the arms of Morpheus on the top of Arbroath steeple, which is now one hundred and ten feet high.—Scotch Paper. WONDERFUL PRESERVATION OF A CHILD.—One day last week, at Den- ton, near Harleston, an infant was taken by the mother into a wheat field, and laid down in one of the furrows asleep, while she was gleaning. After a short time, an empty waggon, passing through the field, was actually driven over the child. It was naturally supposed that the child aiust have been killed ; but symptoms of life appearing, it was removed to the first house and laid on a bed. In the course of an hour, the father entered the room ; when, to his great joy, the little innocent stretched forth its arms to be taken by him. It does not appear to have sustained any injury.—Suffolk Herald.
