On the 9th July a grand review took place in Hyde Park. The troops on the ground (amounting to nearly 5000 men) were the 1st and 2d Life Guards, the Royal Horse Guards, the 10th Hussars, the 12th Lancers, three batteries of Field Artillery, the 1st and 3rd battalions of the Grenadier Guards, the 1st and 2d battalions of the Scotch Fusiliers, the 1st and 2d battalions of the Rifle Brigade, and three troops of the Royal Horse Artillery, having two guns each. The line was commanded by the Marquess of Anglesey, the artillery by Col. Rogers, the batteries by Lieut. Col. Cleveland, the cavalry by Sir C. Dalbiac, and the Foot Guards and Infantry by Major-Gen. D'Oyly. A little before twelve o'clock her Majesty's party arrived on the ground, in four carriages, with a numerous suite of attendants on horseback. The evolutions of the troops then commenced, each regiment marching past the Queen in slow time. narching time, the cavalry in close column, the infantry at quarter distance. A miniature battle then commenced; the cavalry advancing, attacking, retiring, and again forming line in the rear. This manœuvre having been completed, the infantry then commenced file firing, and this having ceased, both lines advanced in parade order, and saluted. It is thought that not less than 150,000 persons were present. Marshal Soult had just arrived in the park when his stirrup broke. His attendant was immediately despatched to the saddlers to the Ordnance, Messrs. Laurie and Co. of Oxford-street, who sent him the identical stirrups used in all his campaigns by Napoleon Bonaparte.

On the 13th the Corporation of London gave a grand dinner in Guildhall to all the Ambassadors Extraordinary and other illustrious foreign visitors. The Archbishops of Canterbury and Armagh were also present; several of the Bishops; and from each sides of both houses of Parliament, fifteen Lords and seventeen Commoners. In all about 600 persons were present. The Duke of Wellington and Marshal Soult were toasted together, and they both acknowledged the compliment with the greatest cordiality.

A proclamation dated the 5th of July, announces the issuing of a New Coinage, in Gold, Silver, and Copper. The first will consist of, 1. Five-pound pieces, weighing 25 dwt. 16gr.; 2. Double-sovereigns, weighing 10 dwt. 6 gr.; 3. Sovereigns, weighing 5 dwt. 3 gr.; 4. Half-sovereigns, weighing 2 dwt. 131gr.; all alike having for the obverse the Queen's effigy, with the inscription vICTORIA DEI GRATIA and the date of the year; and for the reverse the ensigns armorial of the United Kingdom, contained

in a plain shield surmounted by the royal crown, and encircled with a laurel wreath, with the inscription, BRITANNIARUM REGINA FID. DEF. having the united rose, thistle, and shamrock placed under the shield; the two larger coins to have on their edges the words DECUS ET TUTAMEN. ANNO REGNI and the year of the reign; the three smaller a grained edge. The silver coins to consist of, 1. Crowns; 2. Half-crowns; 3. Shillings; 4. Sixpences; 5. Groats, or Fourpences; the first to resemble exactly the five pound pieces; and so also the second, but with a grained edge; the shillings, the same obverse, but on the reverse the words ONE SHILLING within the wreath: and SO with the Sixpences. The Groat or Fourpence to have for the reverse a figure of Britannia holding the trident in one hand, and having the other placed upon a shield impressed with the union cross, and round the figure the words FOURPENCE and the date of the year below. Also certain other pieces of silver money, called the Queen's maunday moneys, of Fourpence, Threepence, Twopence, and one Penny, each having the same obverse as the shilling, and for the reverse the respective figures 4, 3, 2, 1, with the date of the year placed across the figure, and encircled by an oak wreath, surmounted by the royal crown; with a plain edge. The copper money to consist of, 1. Pennies; 2. Halfpennies ; 3 Farthings; each having for the obverse the Queen's effigy still as before, and for the reverse the figure of Britannia, as on the silver Groats, with a plain edge. On the lamentable poverty, or rather deficiency, of invention displayed in this most uniform set of British coins, we do not know how to express our disappointment and regret.

The new Great Seal of England, just made by Mr. Benjamin Wyon, chief engraver of her Majesty's Majesty's seals, is said to be a beautiful specimen of art, reflecting high credit on the talent, skill, and taste of the artist:-Obverse, An equestrian figure of her Majesty, attended by a page the Queen is supposed to be riding in state; over a riding habit she is attired in a large robe or cloak, and the collar of the Order of the Garter; in her right hand she carries the sceptre, and on her head is placed a royal diadem; the attendant page, with hat in hand, looks up to the Queen, whilst gently restraining the impatient horse, which is richly decorated with plumes and trappings; the inscription, "Victoria Dei Gratia Britanniarum Regina Fidei Defensor," is engraved in Gothic letters, and the spaces between the words are filled with heraldic roses. On the reverse, the Queen, royally robed and crowned, holding in her right hand the sceptre, and in her left the orb, is seated upon the throne, beneath a rich Gothic canopy; on either side is a figure of Justice and Religion; and in the exergue is the royal arms and crown; the whole encircled by a wreath or border of oak and roses.

An Act of Parliament has been passed for the re-edification of the Royal Exchange. Provision is made for a considerably extended site; and the funds will be principally derived from a tax laid upon the coals entering the port of London. Early in April a sale took place of the materials of the old structure. The porter's large handbell (rung every day at half past four, p.m. to warn the merchants and others that 'Change ought to be closed, with the handle consumed, valued at 10s.), was sold for 31. 3s.; the two carved griffins, holding shields of the City arms, next Cornhill, fetched 301.; the two carved griffins, holding shields of the City arms, facing the quadrangle, 351.; the two busts of Queen Elizabeth (so called, but really intended for the Virgin's head, the arms of the Mercers' Company) on the north and south side, 181.; two others on the east and west sides, 101. 158.; the copper grasshopper vane, with the iron upright, was reserved by the committee; the alto-relievo, in artificial stone, by Bubb, representing Queen Elizabeth proclaiming the Royal Exchange, 211.; the corresponding altorelievo, representing Britannia seated amidst the emblems of Commerce, accompanied by Science, Agriculture, Manufactures, &c. 361.; the carved emble matical figures of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, 110l. The whole of the materials in the quadrangle were sold for 2361.; the tower was sold for 50l.; the carved figures of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, were knocked down for 801. At a meeting of the Court of Common Council, Mr. R. L. Jones (the chairman), on bringing up the report of the Royal Exchange Committee, stated that the government were not willing to assist in the object with money, but approved of the means of raising funds, as stated in the report, which was as follows:-" That the duties on coal, &c. now existing under the acts of the 10th George IV. cap. 136, and the 11th George IV. cap. 64, be continued to the year 1858, being the period for which the same, in conjunction with the sum of 11,500l. charged upon the city estates, are already engaged. The aggregate thereof it was calculated would be sufficient security to raise thereon at that

time the sum of 300,0001. for public improvements in the metropolis, of which 150,000l. should be appropriated to the corporation of the City for the Royal Exchange, so soon as the plans shall be examined and approved by the Loans Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury; and the remainder of the sum to such other public improvements in the metropolis as may be sanctioned by Parliament." Looking at the question on all sides, he (Mr. Jones) considered that the court had reason to congratulate themselves upon the result of the application to government. He trusted that they would be able to accomplish still greater improvements. The buildings to be taken down to the westward will include the site of the Bank Coffeehouse in Bank-street, Sweeting's-rents, and all the buildings eastward, including the west side of Freeman's court to Cornhill and Threadneedle-street, opposite the North and South American Coffee-house, leaving the church and church yard of St. Bennett's Fink, which is to be inclosed with an open railing..

July 18. The first stone of a new church at Blackheath was laid by her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia Matilda. It will be dedicated to the Holy Trinity. In this parish, in a population of 25,000, not more than onefifth are provided with church accommodation. There is no parish church nearer than half a mile of the new site. The church will be built in the Anglo-Nor man style. The principal front will look towards the east, and will be flanked by towers of equal altitude. It will form a very conspicuous object over an extensive country, and will be an ornament to the landscape. The estimate of the expense is 42001. of which 10001. have been granted by her Majesty's Commissioners for Building New Churches, and 500l. by the Incorporated Society for Promoting the Building and Enlargement of Churches. The church will accommodate 1200 persons, of whom half will have free sittings. Mr. Wilde, of Albemarle-street, is the architect; and the contractors have engaged to complete the edifice in fourteen months.

The ancient refectory of the College of Vicars at Exeter, has undergone a thorough repair. Little else was found except Nuremberg tokens and pieces of no ancient date, and many human bones. The cypher of John Ryse, treasurer of the Cathedral, installed Jan. 10, 1517, is on the old fire-place. The arms of Bishop Oldham are over the adjoining passage. The original Vicars' College was completed in 1388, the spot being called the Kalendar haie.
