Yesterday being the anniversary of their Majesty's
coronation, it was observed here with every possible
demonstration of loyalty and joy.  At noon a royal salute
was fired from the Battery, and at one o'clock from the
shipping in the harbour.  In the evening there was a grand
exhibition of fire-works, after which a splendid ball was
opened by the gentlemen of the army in this garrison. . .
