of London. tip to half-past seven or eight o'clock, how-
ever, the main streets, though considerably congested,
were still free of circulation. But between eight and nine
o'clock the various feeders north and 'south of Fleet-street,
Ludgate-hill, and Cheeped° became thronged with the
population of the outlying districts. By nine o'clock these
streets became almost choked up with an anxious and
expectant crowd.
It might have been expected that the pressure sad
confusion at Guildhall would be more remarkable than at
any other point, but so good were the arrangements of the
City police, under the immediate direction of Mr. Superine
tendent Hodgson, that the space from Guildhall to Cheap.
side was probably by far the quietest part of the royal
route—indeed, for upwards of an hour before the Questa
arrived, the area in front of the hall might have served as g
reception room.
The company began to arrive about 6 o'clock, and frank
that time until half-past 8, when the closed barriers forbade
the entrance of any additional vehicle, there was an almost
'itentianous stream of carriages. These being covered, but
few of the occupants were recognised, but now and then a
familiar face was disclosed, and in particular were seen, one
after another, the familiar visages of the members of the two
houses of parliament. T heDuke of Wellington arrived at about
a quarter past eight, shortly after which the barriers were
closed, until the advent of royalty.
Prom this moment the exterior of the festive hall
Maned an appearance of singular quietude. Inside were
batneon two sod three thousand guests, but there was no-
els, external to indicate their presence ; and hail they
been inclosed for a grand razzia, instead of a crowning fes-
tivity in the annul mirabilis of the present century, there
could not have been fewer symptoms of the coming
revel. The grand entrance was shut, and there
were no " sights or sounds " to tell who were within,
no e loud barepoon,e or other musical instrument, to excite
useless longings for admission. The pavement all round
the area in front, being boarded, was canopied with an
awning. The west side was lined by a detachment of the
lionourable Artillery Company, under the command of
Major Barnard, flanked on the right by the Company's
band. Opposite was stationed a select, rather than a
numerous body of the dile of the police ; and the entrance
art apart for the Queen was guarded by those hereditary
attendants on such occasions, the Yeomen of the Guard. A
11 few outriders of the palace were the only other persona seen,
in front of the hall, if we except the occasional'
dating of an alderman or a deputy along the pavement.
Over the main entrance was a tasteful illumination, con-
sisting of the royal arms, in large dimensions. The effect
of this was all that could be di sired. The exterior portions
consisted of jets of gas, in which the lion and the unicorn I
stood out well and proudly. The centre was composed of
stained glass, in which were pourtrayed the insignia of the
United Kingdom, in a manner deserving praise for the
contrivance. In all the windows of the Guildhall Police-
court were stationed groups of ladies, interspersed
with some of the male sex, and even the roof
was covered with spectators. The entrance set apart for
her Majesty was that which leads to the City courts, and at
this spot aldermen and other civic functionaries, in their
civic robes, were visible at intervals.
Such were the preparations for her Majesty's reception'
outside the Guildhall.
It had been announced that the Queen would arrive at
half-past. nine, and as her Majesty's punctuality is become
proverbial, expectation was increasingly on the alert as the
time approached. At a quarter past nine there was a pro-
mature flush of excitement, caused by the arrival of the
Duchess of Kent and her grace's household. For a moment
every
one seemed taken by surprise, and the band struck
up the National Anthem; but a moment dispelled the de-
lusion, and there was a further suspense.
It was a quarter to 11l when the royal cortege first came
within sight. Four n.eunted patrols had the honour of
heralding the Queen's approach. A moment afterwards,
the lichnets of the Guard, glittered ion the distance; cheers,
hunts, and waving of handkerchiefs followed in quick
succession ; and, amidst the ringing of the bells of St. Law-
rence, the playing of the National Anthem by the band,
mei other kindred ebullitions of loyal enthusiasm, the
royal cavalcade drove into the courtway. The scene
at this moment, though not so noisy as elsewhere,
was brilliant and picturceseue. Two or three carriages had
yielded up their occupants, amongst whom was the Mar-
quee of Westminster, the Lord Steward, before that of her
Majesty drew up at the door. The Duke ef Norfolk and
the Duchess of Sutherland alighted before the sovereign ;
Prince Albert eucceetled, and her Majesty then stepped on
the fouteloth which carpeted the pavement. The Queen
was received in due form at the door of the carriage by the
Lord Mayor. The preparations made fur the bull were
commensurate with the importance of the occasion. The
Guildhall itself, one of the finest interiors in Europe un-
supported by pillars, had been thoroughly cleaned and
refreshed. The whole of the floor was boarded over
and covered with crimson cloth, and at the eastern end
was erected a dais upon which the throne was to be
placed. The southern porch, which retains all its ancient
richness of style, was handsomely decorated with crimson
cloth, and surmounted by banners and garlands, and the

We, Don Publius Maria, &c., by the grace of God
and the Holy Apostolic See, Archbishop of Rhodes,
to our venerable brothers, &c., of the diocese of
Malta, greeting.
The care of the Lord's flock, entrusted to us by
Divine Providence, imposes the necessity of watching
that the enemy of the human kind does not spread
the evil of error in this camp of the elect, and does
not corrupt with the poison of false doctrines the
salutary food of the gospel. To this end do we
now lift our voice, in order to admonish those
who disobey, encourage the weak and condemn
heretics. We hope that our paternal advice, and the
clear expressions by which we condemn all wicked
books, heretical prints, journals and publications
which directly or indirectly assail catholicism, its
doctrines, morals, discipline, and clergy, will suffice to
keep on their guard all catholic writers residing in
our diocese, and especially those living in Malta. In
a country where the catholic faith and submission to
the church are almost natural sentiments, it was not
to be expected that attacks would be permitted upon
that faith and that church. But in this our hopes
have been deceived. A journal, named the Areemrs,
has now been in circulation for upwards of a year
and a half, which expresses the opinions of a society
whose object should, according to its title, be the
promotion, as far as in its power lay, of the real
good of its country. This journal has for some
time attracted our attention on account of the very
nn-catholic tone in which its religious doctrines are
put forward. Our paternal heart being moved by
just motives, being repugnant to use rigorous means
towards our own sons,and especially hoping that the
right path would he resumed in the course of time,
we were led at first to suspend our judgment. But
our hopes not having been realized, our pastoral
solicitude obliged us to subject the journal in ques-
tion to an attentive and impartial examination. The
result of this step has been to confirm us in the belief
that the Atretiire is an irreligious print, which con-
tains erroneous, false, and captious doctrines in
matters of religion, which twists Scripture in a sense
different from that recognised by the church, mal-
treats ecclesiastical authority, without sparing the
supreme bishop, and gives to Christianity an aspect
entirely different from that in which it should be
vievasi by every. son of the catholic church. For
this reason, having before our eyes God alone, and the
welfare of the owns committed to our charge, and
moved only by a most intimate conviction, we do ac-
cordingly condemn without restriction the journal
entitled the A rcenire, and declare consequently that,
by the publication of this condemnation, not only the
editors and writers of the journal, but all who are
directly or indirectly concerned in it. or who read
and keep it without permission, incur the penalty
of censure. We flatter ourselves with the hope that
the intentions of those who founded the
,journal
being good, the judgment pronounced by us will open
their eyes, and that, confessing their fault
with the generoeity. of sincere minds, they
will alter their opinions, promote the good
of their country by supporting catholicism,
renounce the weapons of pride and slander, and cease
to follow the course of those who think most of the
things of this world, and give themselves up to a
vague and general species of religion which ends in
pure deism, altering every doctrine and teaching of
the Roman catholic church, out of which there is
neither strength nor salvation.
On the occasion of issuing this our pastoral, we
cannot refrain from expressing our disapproval of the
words and sentiments of other journals. We allude
to the .11,tliterratioi and the (Millie. The former
often pots out of its way in its character
of a journal and commercial organ to pub-
lish articles Which are calculated to offend
the pious ears of the faithful, and more especially
hurt the sentiment of brotherly charity. 'f he Online,
when its aim is to defend religion and truth, de-
Kends to vile diatribes and to low and irritating
modes of argument which have no other effect than
to add fuel to the flame of discord which burns be-
tween the two extreme parties. It even goes so tar
as to oppose indirectly its own pastor, and auda-
ciously to dictate the course which ought to he fol-
lowed. With that authority, therefore, which a
pastor is allowed by all good catholies to possess,
we intimate to the editors of the Jfediterronis
and Orlin e, that they must correct these errors and
write their articles with due dignity, charity, and
ratiocination. We doubt not but that both journals
will submit quietly to our orders. Should they not
do so we will exert against them our spiritual arms,
and in order to preserve public morals, of which we
should he no less solicitous than of our faith, we
willridotheire against them as we have done before,
and as we will do in the same ease to other journals.
Finally, we express, as we have done before, our
desire to fathers of families that they, being
penetrated with the sentiments of a lively faith,
will gise their offspring a strictly catholic education.
Let them watch over their children, the books they
read, the friendships they form, and the places they
frtsment. They know what a fearful account they
have to give to God of the consequences of a bad or
neglected education. For this they should unite
their paternal to our sacerdotal ministry, and have ,
nothing. more at heart than to form good and ca-
tholic citizens, who may render themselves useful in
a Christian fashion to society, by purity and solidity
of faith, by irreprehensible morality and filial sub-
mission to the church. The ministers of the
Most lligh will not fail to preach to all the pure doc-
trine. in order that the faith may he preserved pure
in all hearts, as it was received from the Apostles of
the Gentiles. Excite more and more in all real de-
votion to the Great Virgin Mother of God, the
mother and our chief patomess, Mary, as well as to
the great Apostle, our father, because the faith
planted by him amongst us is ertilised by his omni-
potent protection, and must always have a real in-
crease. We also remind all that without true reli-
gion there is neither strength nor true felicity, and
that the important affair is to obtain eternal salvo-
thin. We give to all who desire it our paternal
benediction.

Valetta.
