July 17. As an instance of the great eagerness to view the grand shew of the coronation, we are informed, that a gentleman has been prevailed upon to take a room for his lady at the rate of 140 guineas, but the appointment of the solemnity of the coronation falling unhappily exactly at the time when the lady expects to be delivered, he has further prevailed on her husband, to let a skilful man-midwife, nurse, &c. attend her, and to hire an additional withdrawing room, lest the great hurry of the day should bring on her labour, when it will be impossible for her to be carried away without endangering her life.
