London, April 20. CORONATION ABRANGEMENT. After a cold spall that almost put winter in the shade we have had a ghurions Eastertide. with every indugement to take to the budding countrysia. Though everything is backward in consequence of the late winds and frosts and considerable damage has beets lone, yet thoro is far less grumbling than usual in the land, and even the agriculturist is dropping some of his customary attitude of frank pessimism. As to the towns, there is already a good deal of stiva a foretasie of Coronation gaivty. Grand-stouds are going upalong the line of the processione and in various ways are realising that the time of Importal festivity is near. In all the arrange ments the King and Queen are taking the closest personal interest, and I may even say that the Queen is the real guiding hand in the armogements. Should Queen Alezzodra decile, after all, to attend the cornuntion, ceremony she will be the first Queen Mother of England to see her son crowned at Westminstor. The prob- lot of precedence that email to make her attendance difficult has been solved by placing hor in a position of equal prominence ou the left of the throne to that occupied by the King and Queen on the right.

A PLAGUE OF LIBEL ACTIONS.- There is a veritable plague of libol actions in England nowadays. Even judges, who are naturally sympathetic to the process of fattening lawyers, are crying ent against the growing habit of bringing suit on all sorts of small pretexts. Justice Lawrence the othoy day said the art of bringing libel nétions hark atta ed a very high pitch. There were some people who made more by bringing an action for libel than they could ever take by honest work in the course of their lives. In some cases juries hnd Awarded considerable sums as duages and the result bad been that the Courts had had quite a sheaf of these actions. I know myself of two Casas where suit being brought although n little while ago the plaintiffs tok their friends there would be no proceedings. The damage in these cases was niznost if not satiraly uil, yet the damages awarded by juries hare roused the cupidity of the plaintiffs and now they mean to outer the Law Courts sowel as one would gamble for a high stake at Monto Cario,

After that they made arrangements to 880 as many experimental flights as possible at Brooklands and Hendon, besides witnessing certain aviation experiments on the araty ground at Aldershot. It is understood

that the King has sympathy with the pressure that a group of members of the Cormons are bringing to bear on the Govern ment to mako alequate provision for aeris equipient as an arm of national defence. There Broms to be some thought that with all the talk of peace, the defence of these islands may be neglected, so this lively committee of members will make it their business to stir up attention
