~~ij Thc officer on gtuird (we believe Colonel M'Kinnon) Wets immediately summoned to the spot, and asked I•er Majesty lor her ticket. She replied that she had notit., and as Queen of England needed no me : he profess.d his soirow, but said he must obey orders, and that his orders were to see that no person whatever it:multi be admitted without a ticket. Her Majesty then retired. They went to the door of the Duchy of Lancaster behind the Champion's stable, and had the door shut in their faces. They then turned round, and leaving the royal carriage behind, proceeded to demand admis sion at another entrance. The same intense sensa tion of interest and the same applause mixed with partial disapprobation continued to follow her. When she arrived nearly at the other extremity of the platlbrm---iliat which was opposite to the central pavillion—her further progress was arrested by a tile of about a doim soldiers, who were sod (lolly ordered to form across the platform. Her Majesty then quitted it, and went straight on to the House of Lards on foot. " Lord Hood having desired admission for her Majes.y, . • " The door-keepers drew across the entrance, and requested to see the tickets. Lord lioaL—l .resent you your Queen; .surely it is not nrcessary tut tier to have a ticket. Door Keeper.—Our orders ore to admit no person without a Peer's tic et. . . . . . . Lord llood.—This is your Queen : she is entitled to admission without such a tUrni. _ . . The Queen. fowling, but still in some agitation—Nes, I am ppm Queen, will you admit me? Dour Keeper.—Al y orders are specific, and 1 fed myself bound to obey them. The Queen smiled. Lord dual.—l have a ticket. Door KeArcr.—Then, my Lord, we will let you pass upon prialucing it. Lord Hood now drew from his pocket a Peer's ticket for one person ; the original name in whose favour it was urAwn was erased, and the name of Wellington substituted. Door Ilitxper.- 7 1This will let one person ;11.49, but no more. Lord your Majesty - go in alone? Her Majesty at first assented, but did not persevere. Lord Aloud--Am 1 to understand, that you refuse her Ma. jesty admission? 1/oo Kerper.—We only act in conformity with our orders. Iler Majesty again smiled. Lord Hood.—Then you refuse the Q - teen admission ? A door keeper of a superior order then came forward, and was asked by Lord Hood whether any preparations had been made Sac her Majesty ? He answered respectfully in the uegative. I.onl Hood —Will your Majesty enter the Abbey without your Lathes. Her ISlajesty deelimtd. Lord Hood then said, that her Majesty had betc retire to her carrizioc. It was clear no provisions had been made for her accom motiatiou. Her Majesty assented. Wine persons within the porch of the Abbey laughed, and unci ed some expressions of disrespect. Lord Howl.—We expected to have met at least with the con duct of gentlemen. Such conduct is neither manly nor man. ncrly. Her Majesty then retired, leaning on Lord Hood's arm, and followed by Lady Hood and Lady Hamilton. She was preceded by constables back to the platform, over which she returned, entered her carriage, and was driven off amitLt reiterated shouts of applause. At halt' past seven o'clock, a number of gentle tirest.,l in a mulberry-brown frock coats with tehite lace roll's and white sashes, entered ; they were the attendants upon the acting Eurl Marshal, and bore gold wands with the emblazoned arms of the Duke of Norfolk, the hereditary Earl Marshal. The Gentlemen Pensioners entered at the same time, and the Heralds laid their maces of office, and the swords of state, at the top of the peers' dining table, on the western sideof the hall. The different attLiidants were then called to their respective places, the military, heralds, and other personages, who had throughout the mont;ng moved backwards and hwwards in detached Ladies, began to separate and assume more regular 0r.1.f, and every appear ;:nee denoted the near approach of the s o lemn cere lawdes of the day. Before eight. o'clock most of the persons who imad to walk in the procession as sembled in the appointed places. Soon after eight o'clock Mr. Fellowes led into the Hall Hiss Fellow - es, who afterwards preceded the pi oce,sion on the royal platform as his Ma jest)'s herbwoman ; she was attended (as her maids) by Miss Garth, Miss Collier, Mis Rams bottom, Miss Hill, Miss Daniel, and Miss Walker. The ladies were eery elegantly dre:;sed in white muslin with !lowered ornaments. Shortly after three, large ornamented baskets filled with flowers were brought iu and placed near the ladies, who were, until the procession moved, accommodated with chairs at the extremity of the Hall. At a quarter past eight o'clock the doors were closed; the canopy-b,!arers were airatiged at the foot of the royal platform, and the Heralds commenced their arrangements for marshalling the procession la the hall. The King's Sergeants, Lens, Vaug- Onslow, Pell, entered in their seai let robes : the Knights of the Bath, and the Knights Com. r.aoders of the 11 ith, followed, in the collars and l“.bits of their older, were divided by Heralds, and filed Ott ut each side of the hall behind the l'eers' tables. The Judges now entered, and were rtauged without the Peers' tables. Privy Coun cillors were next arranged: among them were the It:ght Han. George Canning, Mr. B. Bathurst, fir C. Long, the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his robes of culler, Mr. Stourges Bourne, Mr. C. THE NA' :OVAL REGISTER Grant (Secretary for Ireland), Mr. Robert Ward, Mr. Ilaskisson, Mr. Frederick Robinson, Arr. Wallace, :Mr. Beckett, Lard George Bert sford, Lord Yarmouth : the Barons, eighteen in number next entered—the newly created Baron Stowell (late Sir William Scott), and Baron Maryborough, (late Mr. Wellesley Pole), entered the hall first. There were but 49 (if we rightly counted them) present. Next came the Bishops, fifteen attended —the Viscounts, nineteen in number. The Earls were more numerous, we should think 70 or 80. The Marquisses and Dukes, and lastly the great Offi. cers of State, Archbishops, and Members of the Royal Family entered*. The Marquis of Londonderry soon after entered in the full robes of the Order of the Garter. On the royal Attu= their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York, Clarence, Sussex, Cambridge, and Gloster, and Prince Leopold. in in their full robes, as KtOghts of the Garter, sepa rated at each side of the throne. His Grace the Duke of Wellington, with his gold staff as Lord High Constable, stood near the table in tront of the throne, attended by his page. Tae Lord Chan cellor, the Duke ot' Montrose, (the muster of' the horse), Marquis of HertfOrd (Lord Chamberlain,) the Earl of Harrowby (President of the Council), the Earl of Westmorland, (Lord Privy Seal), were also arranged near the table. The Heralds imme diately proceeded to call over the names of the peers assembled in the Hall. This ceremony occupied front nine o'clock until twenty minutes before ten, and while the Peers were arranging in the centre of the Hall, the Dean and Prebendaries of Westminster entered the great gate from Palace-yard, and formed in a close compact body immediately within the Hall. The whole arrangements for the procession were then completed. The Lord Mayor, Sherifis, and Cor poration of London, with the civic regalia, and the Corporation of Oxford, were assigned their respective places, and a pause of about twenty minutes then took place. The principal officers of the household had withdrawn to wait upon the King. At ten o'clock, the Duke of Wellington entered the platform from behind the throne, and announced the approach of his Majesty. Lord Gwydyr entered immediately after, and the King then appeared ; his train supported by eight sons of nobleman. The whole company in the Hall rose as his ,Majesty stepped into the throne, and the full band in the Gothic orchestra struck up " God save the King." His Majesty was habited in full robes of great size anti richness, and wore a black hut or cap of Spanish shape, with a spreading plume of white ostrich feathers which encircled the rim, and was surmounted by a heron's plu'ne. The King wore a w;;;; in thick curls over his forehead, and which fell behitid his head in a similar shape. He took his seat wilh an air of Majesty, but in a som.:what hurried step, and appeared for the moment oppressed by the imposing solemnity of the scene which fin• the first time met his eye. His Majesty with great affability then bowed to the Peers who tool on each side. _ . ThcDeputy Lord Great Chamberlain, the Lord High Con stable, and the Deputy Earl Marshal, ascended the steps, and placed ' themselves at the outer side of the table. The Lord High Steward, the Great Officers, Deputy Garter, and Black Rod, then arranged themselves near the chair of stale; the royal train-bearers on each side of the throne. Tile Lord Chamberlain, assisted by officers of the Jewel office, then brought the sword of state to the Lord High Cun • stable, who ',cheered it to the Deputy Lord Great Chamberlain, by whom it was laid upon the table ; then Curtana, or the sword of mercy, with the two swords of justice, being in like manner presented. v.ere drawn from their scabbards by the Deputy Lord Great Chamberlain, and laid on the table before his Majesty ; after which the gold spurs were delivered, and also placed on the table.

This being done, the Dean and Prebendaries come to the toot of the steps, Deputy Garter preced ing th ICIII (be having waited their coining theretaiseended the steps, and approaching the table before the King, made their reverence.
