PART I.] Occurrences in London and its Vicinity. piness of experiencing during his ministry in the parish of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate." Thursday, June 22. The Westminster Quarter Sessions commenced before Sir R. Baker and a full Bench. The Chairman, in addressing the Grand Jury, adverted to the outrages which took place in various streets on the Queen's arrival, by breaking windows, &c.; and recommended associations of the respectable inhabitants of the different parishes, as the only effectual means of suppressing such riots and tumults. F. Const, esq. is appointed Chairman of the Westminster Sessions, vice Sir R. Baker, resigned. 631 accompanied by Alderman Wood, young Mr. Austin being on the coach-box. In going through the Hall, her Majesty was pleased to accept the supporting arms of Mr. Ald. Wood and Mr. Favell; she passed to the Council Chamber, preceded by the City Marshals, where numbers of Ladies and several Members of the Common Council were in waiting to receive ber. Every one greeted her entrance with cheers, at which demonstration of attachment her Majesty was evidently much moved. The statue of our late beloved and venerated King seemed most to engage the contemplation of the Queen. After this, her Majesty went into the Court of Aldermen's room, viewed the pictures, and then passed to the Chamberlain's Office. When she returned to her carriage, the horses were taken from it, and her Majesty was drawn in procession through Cheapside, St. Paul's Churchyard, down Fleet-street, along the Strand, &c. &c. Nearly all the Royal Letters of Summons to the Peers, to attend on the Coronation, have been issued-a few still remain unissued, in consequence of the Peers' addresses not having been transmitted to Lord Henry Howard, at the Heralds' College, agreeably to the notification in the Gazette. The Knights Grand Crosses and Commanders of the Bath are to attend in the Procession. The dresses assigned to them have for some time past been on view in the Hall of the Heralds' College. There are now seven spots visible upon the sun's disk, six between the sun's centre and its Eastern limb. One of them of very superior magnitude, nearly in the form of a square, surrounded with a beau tiful and distinct umbra, subtending an angle of about half a minute, occupying more than 915 millions of square miles. This spot will probably continue for seven or eight days. Another is a small one, with a very faint umbra, situated very near the Western edge of the sun.

Bailey was read, ou the method of adjusting a transit instrument by observing the passage of two stars, differing considerably from each other in declination: and a new Table was given, whereby the deviation of the instrument and the error of the clock might be readily determined without the trouble of computation. Portable transit instruments are now made with great neatness and accuracy; and are a valuable acquisition to every ceconomical observatory, and to such persons as are travelling with a view to improve the connected sciences of astronomy and geography. Instruments of this kind are often fixed in situations which do not command a view of the pole star: and under such circumstances, the table, above alluded to, is very desirable. Sir H. Englefield requested permission to address the meeting, and called their attention to the new bodies which have lately been discovered, and which are supposed to be of a cometary nature. He noticed the discoveries of Cassini and Short, supposed to be of new planets, which have not since been observed; and wished some of the members who had time and inclination, PART I.] Literary and Scientific Intelligence. nation for the purpose, would submit the observations of those two celebrated astronomers to the test of analysis, in order to determine whether those bodies assimi-lated in their motions to those which have been lately discovered.-The Society afterwards adjourned till the 10th of No. vember. SOCIETY OF ARTS. The distribution of the rewards of this Society took place on Tuesday, June 28, at the Argyll Rooms. Soon after 12 o'clock his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, President, entered the room, and though the company seemed absorbed in the contemplation of the different performances of the caudidates in Polite Arts, which were appended to the walls, and those of Mechanics, which covered the table, an universal expression of joy beamed in the countenances of all. His Royal Highness bowed to the company as he passed to his Chair, and the business of the day now commenced. Mr. Aikin, the Secretary, read an interesting paper on the rise and progress of the Institution, very particularly referring to its commencement, aud energetically adverting to the great advantages which society had not only received by its exertions, but which would be continued, and he trusted enhanced in their value, by the labours of the day. The Premiums were then presented. His Royal Highness, on several occasions, observed the exertions of the Candidates, and was particularly complimentary to those (and we observed several) who had been before him on former occasions in the same characters. To Mr. J. Perkins, who was honoured with three of the Society's medals, for inventions of the first consequence, and who, though an American, his Royal Highness observed, that as President of the Society, he highly participated in the national liberality which had evinced itself on the occasion; that the reward here bestowed, proved, that men of science were happy to recognize and encourage the same qualification, be it from what country it might. To Mr. W. Hardy, another ingenious mechanic, his Royal Highness paid some compliments. His Royal Highness eulogized the company for their attendance, observing, that the Society had gained a great point, if the distribution had ensured the smiles of Ladies, as those Gentlemen, in all pro bability, who were not already Members, would serve the Institution by becoming so, in compliment to their feelings. A band of music occasionally relieved the ceremony. GENT. MAG. Suppl. XC. PART I. H 633 THE ROXBURGHE CLUB. Saturday, June 17, the distinguished Literary Society, 'The Roxburghe Club,' held their Anniversary Meeting at the Clarendon Hotel. Out of thirty-one Members, the whole number of the Club, only six were absent, and two of those known to be on the Continent. The presentation of Re-prints consisted of the "New Nutborune Mayd," and the "Boke of Mayd Emlyn that had V husbandes and all kockoldes," by Mr. Isted. Two enterludes, "Jack Jugelar, wytte, and very playsent," and "Thersytes," by Mr. Haslewood. Two members stated that the unexpected delay of the press made it necessary for them to defer for a few days the delivery of their respective Re-prints. An auxiliary gift was placed on the dinner table, called "The Book of Life; a Bibliographical Melody," a poem from the pen of Mr. R. Thomson. As President, Lord Spencer took the Chair, and for the first time introduced as a toast, "The King." All the other toasts were strictly Bibliomaniacal. That of "The Roxburghe Club at Paris," was drank with enthusiasm. Among the immortal memories, the most celebrated were those of Valdarfar, Fust, Schoiffer, Sweyneym, and Paunartz, Wynkyn de Worde, and Analdus de Bruxella, the editor of an unique edition of Horace, printed at Naples, 1474. Nor was Caxton forgotten, to whose memory a simple monumental tablet was exhibited, previous to its being placed in Westminster Abbey, with the following inscription: To the Memory and who, A.D. 1477, or earlier, in the Abbey of Westminster. in remembrance of one to whom THEATRICAL REGISTER.
