Mr. Dymoke, in the hope that he may have the honor of personating his majesty's champion, has been taking lessons for some time back. The horses have been chosen from Astley's stud. The champion's is a powerful entire horse, pieballed, black and white; the lord high constable's is perfectly black, and the lord high steward's perfectly white. Oxen are to be roasted whole in various towns in England, and malt liquor given to the populace. In Newcastle, the common council voted one thousand pounds to be spent in rejoicing. The water fountains are to run something better than water on the occasion. At the coronation of George the Third, the fountains discharged wine, but the eagerness of the populace to get a taste of the delicious beverage caused so much confusion that it was nearly all lost. The ceremony attending the coronation of George the Third took place on the 22d of September, 1761, sixty years ago.
