r - V 'ote of the hell were thrown open to the potted 4 , of trumpets end clarions, and the Duke of Wellington. as Lord High Constable, the Marquess of Angles's, m Lord High Seward, aid Lord Howard of Edlinginsa, as Deputy Earl Marshal, Weird upon the floor on hossoback, remaining for some . Wenn* under the areb.wey. The Duke of Wellington was on the left of the King, the Earl Marshal on the right, and the/ Marquees of Angles.' is the centre. The two forme were mounted on • beautiful white • horses g orgeously tripped, and the latter his favourite due-colound Arsiriaa. the eaparieeas of which were equally rich. Each was followed by a groom, and by the head of the horses walked three pages occasionally soothing the animals by patting their necks. Their excelleet temper and the skill with which they were managed, however, rendered this almost needless. The manner in which these Noblemen, and especially the Marquess of Anglesea, rode up the avenue formed through the Knights of the Bath, the Knights Commanders and Companions, the Heralds, the Pages, and a vast new her of Ants, in every variety of uniform, sacked ge neral admiration. While the 24 covers were placed upon the royal table, these Noblemen remained on horseback at the lowest step leading to the throne, and as the Gentle men Pensioners dellverel their dishes they retired backwards between the three horses and so left the hall. They were followed by the Duke of Welling. ton. the Marquess of Anglesea, and Lord Howard of Ethagitant, who hawked their steeds with great skill down the centre of the hall. The animals were most traesable and gentle, nor did they exhibit the lent sip of fear or impatince; but when an attempt was mode to applaud the proceeding, the horse of the Val Marshal thea because eomewhat alarteestlastin the roam kis iebearsols he had not m e: with thing like Oa species of reception ; he reared once or twice but was soon pacified by the groom in attendance. As woo as they were beyond the limits of the hall the 'doors were closed. The dishes yet remaining uncovered, the basin and ewer were presented by the Lord Great Chamberlain that hit Majesty might wash. lie was assisted by the Earls of Abingdon and Verelam, and the Lord of the Maser of Merlon was in attendance with a towel. His Majesty having dipped his fingers in the rose water, and wiped them, returned the napkin to the gentleman who had performed the service of hearing it. Grace ought to have been said by the Dean of the Chapel Royal : but some delay took place, we believe, in consequence of his non•appearance. The Moog railed Sir T. Tyrwhitt, Übherof the Black Roil, to his aide, and sent hint in search of the Lord Chamberlain, who, however, did not make his appearance. than was finally said before the dishes were uncovered ; but in so low a tone that it was wholly inaitslih!e. The Dukes of York, Cheese', and Sussex, sitting ots the right hand of the King ; and the Dukes of Cambridge and tilocester, with P.ince Leopold. on the left I the Carver and Assistant Carver, the Earls of Denbigh and Chichester, touk their station' at the bottom of the table, attended by the Earls of Mount- Womb. and Whitworth, who acted as Sewer and ertaiehint Set's. The Duke of Devonshire meta ••, the Orb on the 4eh of the throne, end` etiVag Method the sceptre with the dove 03 the rich', sup . ported by the Lord of the Manor of Worksop, with the ordinary sceptre, and the Peers hearing the four swords. The tureens and dishes were then uncovered. sod the carvers proceeded to help his Majesty to some seep, of which he tasted. THE CHAMPION. The first course having been removed, the atten tion of all present was called to the bottom of the Hall, by a long and cheerful flourish of trumpets. The great gates were instantly thrown wide open, anal the Champion made his appearance under the tiothic archway, mounted on his pie-bald charger. Mr. Dynsoke was accompanied on the right by the Duke of Wellington, and on the left by Lord Howard of Effingham; but his polished strel armour, his pinnies, and the trappings of his steed, instantly showed the capacity in which he appeared. He was ushered within the limits of the Hall by two trumpeters, with the arms of the Champion on their h inners ; by the Sergeaut Trumpeter, and by two Sergeants at Arms with maces. An Esquire in half armour was on each side, the one bearing his lance, and the other 1-,s shield or target : the three horsemen were followed oy grooms and pages, The first challenge was given at the entrance of the Hall, and the trumpets having sounded thrice: After pausing for a few seconds, the Champion drew off Isis gauntlet, and threw it upon the floor with a very manly and chivalrous air. As no one appeared to accept the challenge, the Herald took up the glaive, and re turned it to the Champion. The canaleasle then ad vanced half way up the Hall, when it again halted, and the trumpets having again sounded, the challenge was • read as before, the gauntlet thrown down, and restored to the challenger. At the foot of the throne the earn, ceremony was a third time repeated, the Herald reading t i lle challenge at the top of the first Bight of steps. We should here remsrk, that shouts of applanse and voci feration, of " Lang live the King" followed each restora tion of the gauntlet to the Champion. His charger was considerably alarmed by the noise, but he seemed to have a complete command over him, and restrained his action within limits suited to the narrow space in which be could he permitted to move. The ':nightly appearance and pliant deportment of the Champion obviously gave considerable pleasure to his Majesty, who t•tking the goblet that was presented to him by the t7ap-bearer, drank to the bold challenger with a corresponding air of gaiety. The Champion on his part having received the cup, drank to the King, but pro nounced the words Long live his Majesty King George the Fourth" in somewhat of a school-lay tone. Besides . lie did not rise in his stirrups at the time, as we appre hend he ambito have done. However, the whole, this part of the ceremony passed oil wi After the Champion hail drained the c to gavego l Bone of his pages, who bore it away as the perspoisitrof his master. The backing out of the Chattspion anti of the Bake of Wellington and Marquess of Anglese,s seas t of very well maniseed, partly owing to the pressure of the crowd on the !lour which narrowed the avenue to the throne.

PROCLAMATION OF THE STYLES. Immediately afterwards, Harm, attended by Clarets seer, Ndrroy, Lyon. Ulieer, sad the rest of the kings sad slicers of arms, proclaimed his Majesty's styles is Latin, Pre,ech, and Kaglish, three several times; first epee the uppermost step of the elevated platform; nest is the middle of the ball; and lastly at the bettors of the ball—the officers of arms, before each proclamation. crying " Largesse." After each proclamation, the com pete/rebooted" tiod save the King," and tie ladies waved their handkerchiefs and fans. Dieser being concluded, the Lord Mayor and twelve principal eitisens of London, as assistants to the Chief Butler of England, aceoespauled by the King's Cap bearer, and aseistaat.preseated to kis Majesty wine in a gold cup; and the King having drank thereof, remelt ed the gold cop to the Lord Mayor as his fee. It was remarked, that his Majesty was engaged in conversation with the Lord Chancellor at the time when the Lord Mayor presented himself to perform his service. The King did not how, as usual, as the Lord Mayor ascend. ed the steps; nor on receiving the cup was Ne allowed to kiss the King's hand. After the other services were performed, as stated yesterday, the peers then rose in their seats, and drank good health and a long and a happy reign to the King, which was received with three times three by the whale company. The Lord Chancellor, who sat on the corner of one of the tables, took occasion to observe that the toast ought ' not only to be received with nine, but with nine times nine. TM. remark did not produce any renewal of the acclamations. " Clod save the King" followed, sung in fine style by the whole choir, the chorus being swelled by the com pany, all standing. The Hake of Norfolk then said, "The Kinz thank. his Peers for drinking his health; he does than the honour to drink their health and that of his good peo ple." His Majesty rose, and bowing three times to various parts of the immense concourse, he drank the health of all present. It was succeeded by long con tinned shouts from all sides, aeries' which the King resumed his seat on his throne. Son NoGis, Donane, having been sung by the choir, various Peers paid their homage and respests to his Majesty ; after which, the King receiving from the Dukes of Devonshire and Beaufort his orb and sceptre, retired amid reiterated acclautations. The King quitted the Hall at a quarter before eight o'clock : afterwards the company was indiscriminately admitted to par!ake of such refreshments as remained on the tables of the Peers. The ball was cleared by nine o'clock. The attendance of Lords (Ladles are out of the qoe.tion) w s nut such as to sustver the wishe* of those whom it most imported to havr a tine 'preach. fur the public.

We must however observe, that there was great negligence somewhere in providing for the com pany. Fur some of the hoses, indeed, winch tis re principally occapied Icy tier most respectable ladies, who remained in the Hall fr three o'clock in the morning until past eight at night, there was no re freshineut provided but that of ham or beef sesta wither, with oranges, lemonade, or cur.a•st wine an.l for these the most enormous diorites weir mate.

Her attendants were arrayed in " virgin whit ,“ their hair bring siospli but tastefully ornamented with flowers, alike distinguished for elegance of dress and for beauty of person and feature. Among these ladies we recoguixed the beautiful Miss Hill, Miss tiro:-Oana Collier, the relation of Sir tienrge t:ollier, and Aiisis Read, the niece of Sir ti. Knight Companion of the Bath. Miss Fellowes, is the ilan••hter of Dr. Fel 'owes of Bath, who is one of the physicians to the King. As the procession Slimed forward, the crowd were daz zled with its splendor. Asis customary on such occasions popular feeling was sisaoirested, as different in.litiatials who have appeared in the political arena passed along the platform. Those Magistrates of London wholiave distin guished themselves in support of the popular cause were noticed very favourably. The 3lar.piess of Londonderry was received with alternate cheers and hisses. Lord Hill, by whom tile standard of England was borne, received very warm applause, which he oust% crest by repeated obeisance. The Duke of Sussex and Prince Leopold of Sate Cohourg, the latter of whom carried himself with peculiar dignity, were greeted its tiv: most affectionate manlier. The Duke of Clarence did not escape obser vation: and that observation was not of the must friend ly character.

If the spectacle were .grand in the first instance, it was decidedly mote so when the religious part of the ceremony was finished, and the procession movedelowly back to Westminster hall. On their return, toe Treasurer of his Majesty's Household scattered, fttni time to time, a quantity of medals amongst the people; which of necessity created a great dumber of quarrels. The soldiers behaved them selves throughout the day with extreme forbearance. His Majesty's bud carried glair complaisance so far as to permit one, and, in Bona cues, even two ladies to mount .up behind them. EXCLUSION OF THE QUEEN FROM WEST MINSITER ABBEY. In our paper of yesterday we noticed the seosation created in the Hall by the approach of the Queen, and gave a statement, which we have reason to be lieve had the Queen's authority, respecting the treat ment her Majesty experiences' at Westminster. To that statement we bare only to add, that although the different persons at llle door of the Abbey appeared to be all noder orders to say they did not know her Majesty, it is to be observed her Majesty came in the Royal State Carriage, and that the Guards, wherever she parsed, presebted arms.--ln addition to this state ment we now take occasion to insert from an opposite source, the following account of the particulars that occurred : Her Majesty arrived at Westminster Abbey gate and demanded admission. Her Majesty came in her Royal carriage in State, drawn by six horses, accompanied by another carriage, In *hich were Lord Hood, Mr. Ald. Wuoal, Mr Austin, and her retiring woman. In her Majestg's carriage ,sat Lady A. Hamilton and Lady Hood. Iler Majesty had slept in town, in South Andley , street, and ordered her carriages by six o'clock. On her Majesty's approach towards the Abbey, vie Storey's-gate, a passage was immediately made for her carriages. The rush of strangers!, nn the Islatforia, was almost overwhelming, and Ilse 'Oilier. were ordered to stand t' their arms and clear the stage. While this was partially elnartintt. her Majesty's earri ,:e drew up Inearly in front of the King's Arms Tavern, close to the platform. She was immediately sofrrounded by a por tion of the crowd nif'.ch had hr.,ken it', with cries of " the 1./n(.3 ! the Queen! - She bowed and smiled, hut was evidently labooring under very agitated feel ings. Lur.l Hood now descended from the carriage, and went in search of a way of ingress. He proceeded hehltid the Champian•s stable, a here there was a gate leading towards the Speaker's house. He then retnrneal to her Ilajesty, and commutleate.l to her the discovery 'hr hail made. Iler Nlaiesty signified her introtien to alight, and the carri.ice 'loot was immediately opened. tier Majesty was immedively handed from her eat esaft• by Lord Howl. anal Lally Hood alighted after her. Thr . sir now resounded with cries of " shames. shame," at her contlurt. The erased full.awatl her Majesty, and 1 OtiVeral of them cheered her. The expressions from tile •- eliarseter. rimming, filer Ilaj.sty, leaning on the arm of Lord lined, went to 1 1 .:e gate to wh:ell we .1, but foitoil that it was not ititetAle4i as a th••rooprillare, and .he therefore re. turned, stith her I.a.i:es of liont.or ;11 her tr tin. She was eutisideral6r ineoninto•le.l by the dust and the pre' owe of the mob, the clot nsion of which the eonsta hies could with iiitlicolty repress. Lord tion•l then led II r Nlajesty to the open:ng in the platform for l'ee: s - tickets opposite Parliatnent-street. iler Majesty ascended the ‘frllS. an -1 has there asked for her soother city. Lord Hood pot his liana' in Lis pocket and said lie I. ol au atitliori!y, pulling out of his itocket at thaws: time a viper. Iler 1-tjesty was then suffered to pass, and &prattling the sups on the other si;e, she nails/4J on 11.044rds the House of Lords, s4:11 followed by Emits:influx cries of 40 5hri11...," A ll4l 111:4!'010041 cries of—" The Ques.o. the Queen Following the crowd, she, by accident, turned 1/00'0 towarls the tron-sste Fobs, to the kitettrie , , and here a notice presented itself tee h.•l Viet?, stating that 110 person nis a•iu.i'te4l Wit111)11t ord , r. llood now said. her Majesty wisiied fel t en to the .1100. y ; opon a kieli 4 eonstshle, rereditii lief Majesty. •heite.l her .he way too arils aii upettine: in the covered 1 passagel. iie.o to Poet's Corner.

Lord Hoop.--.. Will your Majesty ester the Abbey without your Ladies ?" Her Majesty declined. Lord Hoop then said, that her Majesty bad bettsr retire to her carriage. It was clear no provision had been made for bit accommodatiou. Her Majesty assented. Some persons withidthe porch of the Abbey laughed, and uttered some expressions of disrespect, Lord Hooo.—We expected to have met at least with the conduct of gentleman; such coduct is neither manly nor mannerly. Her Majesty then retired. leaning on Lord Hood's arm, and followed by Lady Hood and Lads Hamilton. She was preceded by Constables back to the plat , . form, over which she returned, entered ber carrier% tad was driven off, amidst shouts of applause and approbation. The coUrse takes was down Pail-reell, op Se. James's-street, Piccadilly, Park-lane, se her re' dame, in South Audley-street. Oa arriving there; the mob, after giving three cheers, proceeded to Berke ley-square. We are sorry to have tp add, that some mischief was done by the mub which followed the Queen. After her Majesty had arrived at South Maley-street, the mob separated in two bodies, the one proceeding up to Grosvenor-square, and the other down Hill-street, where they broke the windows of Lord De Grouchy and of Mr. Williamson, at whose bonus preparations were making for the illumination. They then proceeded to the house of Earl Powis in Berkeley-square, and de molished many of the windows at the houses of Noble• men in Dover and Albemarle streets, where prepara tions had been made on a scale of splendour adequate to the occasion. They also attached trillion's Hotel, from whence they proceeded down Piccadilly, down Jermvn-street, to St. James's-street, and set them selves down before the house of the Marquess of Lon donderry, whose wio.!ows thq proceeded to demolish. They were somewhat ti.turced by one of the Horse tioards, whom, honerever, they assiled with nsisAiles, and he was obliged •3 retreat. He galloped to the bead-quarters and returned with a reinforcement, at the appearance of which this detachment of the first mob Itiverseil. The majority of the other detachment of the mob, which had proceeded to Grosvenor-square 4 set to work in the same manner upon the 'house of th Doke of lotitrose, and then upon that of Lord IVhit. ‘verth. Whilst they were proceeding in this manner, a serjeant's guard of foot soldiers took a circuit round the square. At the appearance of the suldie:s the rirdcrs desisted, and A report havittg been spread that 4 ho ly of military were coming, the mob dii permed.
