1111 FOUNDATUYS STOII or ST. Tuowth's
Ilttererat, Wr 101 Qtteas.—The ceremony of laying
the fonodation stone of Si, Thomas's Hospital was per-
fwmoil on Wednesday by Her Majesty before •brilliant
gathering of the dignitaries of Church and State Ind a
part assemblage of rank, fashion, and the repreeenta-
lives t I thence, art, and literature. The l'rime
Mlniater was warmly greeted. The Archbishop of
Canterbury, who had meta d• al Mr. Disraeli by some
minute., took his seat Ist the open space, near the im-
pending block of attn., sod waited with &rigid patience,
ahnort sculpt tira sque in its motiouleas dignity, until the
Queen should come. The time was lightened by the
performance of the Grenadier Guards' band. The
Prince and Plincess of Walcs preceded the Queen by
about ten minutes. At the entrance a guard of honour
was formed by the Grenadier Guards, some members of
whose band was stationed outside to Vey the Na'ional
Anthem on the Queen's approach. The clanging of
bells and the chiming of dal( and quarter hours from
the clock tower of Westminster Palace were sourals
whieh, mingled with the ham of the outside crowd,
preceded that well known strain. The band inside took
up the measure, and the procession wound Its way
through an opening at ono side of the dm., just after
halfproit eleven o'clock. The moment the Queen came
in view of the spectator', who had risen to their feet at
the lest sounds betokening her arrival, • grand burst of
cheering broke forth, and the •ight was • worthy accom-
paniment to the sound, the whole mats being astir, as
bandkerchi• fn were waved in every row, from the fore'
nut arid lowest up to the highest and most remote.
accordieg to the official language of the progremtne, the
Queen was to de conducted to her chair of elate; but
she ascended the three steps of the Alai.% with a light,
qu-ck step, without waiting for escort, and, taking her
her position in the front and centre of that relied door,
curtseyed again Anil again with a dignity and graft for
which there is no flattery to say she is without a real.
Her Majesty, who was attired in mourning, with the
widow'r cap slightly been under the edge of her bonnet,
hatl on her left hand the Prince of Wales, and on her
right the Pelee... On the Prince's left, again, was the
Princess Christian, and the line at that end was cont.
pleteal by the Prince Christi•n and the Duke of
Cambridge. On the other hand, the next to the right
of the Prineess of Wales were, in succession, the
Prince.' Louise, the Princess Beatrice, and the Primes
Leopold, who were a Highland dress of the Stuart
tartan. The Princes of Wales, who looked exceedingly
well, wore a silk dress of pale lavender' the Prior:rem
Louise was dressed in light fawn-coloured nab ; and the
Princes. Beatrice wore pa'e green. The Priem, of
Wales was in full uniform, as were the Comniandecia-
chief and Prince Christian. The back-ground was
tilled up with ladies and officers of ills Household Anil
gentlemen °radially connected with the occasion. The
Prisident of the hospital, Sir John Mnagrove, then
read •n address, which be handed to Her Majesty, who
eased it to Mr. Gathorno Hardy, and took in exchange
from him the folded reply, which she gave to Sir John,
and which runs this.:—" It is with sincere pleasure
that I lay the first stone of the boble buddies which
you are about to dedicate to the use of the sick and
suffering poor. The hospital of St. Thomas, founded
by iny Royal predecessor, Belward VI., from the services
which it rendered to humenPy. naturally attracted the J
•111lation of my beloved husband, *how heart and mind
were ever Interested in institutions of so beneficial a
character. It is a solace to me to follow hit example in
pv-imoting the obje Is which you have in view, and I
trust that your !merit upon its new sits,by the various
improverneets which eats-rt.-nee and sanitary skill may
Pegg at, will secure it creawd benefits to its suffering
inmates, and provide on mlotirsWe school for nurses,
sod for the promotion of medieal and iturgical beWurie.
I thank you for the loyal and synspethising expresoion
of your feel rig on the late attempt to take away the
life of my dear son the Doke of Palinburgh, and join
In your prayers that the saute good Providence whisk

M iiisty then advanced to the spot where the stone was
t b.. lai I ; and at this moment the scene reached • I
milmination of beauty; for this sun, pouring in at the
opeuitiga left below the roof of the pavilion, streamed
throughout the wide interior, and steeped the thousand
colours in one rich flood of glory. Prayers were offered
by tl.e Archbishop of Canterbury, the Old Hundreth
Nam was sung, and the ceremony of laying the stone
was performed with bueiness-like precision. His Gracie

military bands perforntel n jubil int march ; mid Her
Majesty, again acknowledging with lowcurtsies the fare-
well xeclemations of the nweenbly, retired from the
scene, tool was conducted by the authoriCee of the
bo•pital to her carriage. The scene presented as Her
Majesty returned over Westiniwiter-bridge was ex tremely
brilliant—a splecidid rea teal of the most charming out-
door spectacles of her ilspisty's past oareer. The Queen
looked cheerful arid happy, and smilingly responded to I
the hearty cheers which greePall her on the route. Her
