CHAIRING or Silt SANIVEL

Sir Samuel and his friends quitted the linings
at the south door, and proceeded to his curiiage,
which was writiug near Soutliamptim-street. I lie
carriage was Nei open one, mid over the head of it
was suspended a triumphant canopy decorated n ith
ribbilirds„ most tastefully disposed. Upon one ex-
tremity of it was placed an elegant gilt thvire,
imitation of bronze, representing Liberty, and
on the correspoinhog comer was the figure of Jus-
tice. The whole was surmounted by that of Mer-
cury. The carriage was alm decorated with rosettes
made of blue mini ribbands (old
Whigs), as were the six beautiful bay horses, by
Which it was drawn, amd the past-Itnytt. Sir Sainnel
waited soine time for Captain Macdonald, and then
the procession proceeded us follows:

Laud.

A long line of carriages, in which were Sir
Samuel's friends, richly decorated with laurels and
his colours. The cavalcade being 'matelot!, pro-
ceeded amidst the most triumphant plaudits of the
populace through Covent-garden, Russell-street,
down Budges and Cutlierine-streets, along the
Strand, to Charing Cross.
An immense number of females, elegantly dress-
ed, and ornamented with ribband., presented them-
selves at the windows, and as Sir Samuel passed,
they waved white handkerchief. and streamers.
On the arrival of the procession opposite Carlton
House it stopped, and three cheers were gives',
which reverberated through the air, and were echoed
back by the most powerkil and universal applause.
At the house of Win. Denison, Pall Mall,
the newly elected Member fur the county of Surrey,
his Royal Highness the Duke of Susses, sur-
rounded by a number of very distinguished cha-
racter., presented himself at the window, and
was recognised by the populace, three cheers were
given ; and as the carriage of S;r Samuel passed,
his Royal Higlinesa, by gesticulation, congratu-
lated him upon his success. Sir Samuel, in return,
bowed most respectfully to his Royal Highness,
and all hearts and hands instantaneously juiced is
one universal burst of applause. Three cheers
were given at St. Palace. The splendid
cavalcade then proceeded up St. James's-street,
which, we will venture to say, even when the Court
was in its zenith, never before presented such a &s-
-play of youth, elegance, and beauty. Brookes's
Club-house was the moat conspicuous. The ladies
had wreaths of laurel and other appropriate deco-
rations. At the top of St. James's-street the car-
riages and populace had so iiierea.esl that it was
• with oreat difficulty Mr. Lee, the High Constable,
could procure a passage for the procession, but on
its advance Sir Samuel and his friends were "gm
greeted by the most flattering bursts of applause.
On their arrival tit Burlington House, the omission
of Lord George Cavendish, the gates flew open,
Sir Samuel and his friends entered, and were re-
ceived by their distinguished host with eititgratula-
tions. A must splendid dinner was given on the
occasion, at which were present a great slumber of
the leading Members of the Opposition. It must
be a matter of the greatest gratification to Sir
Samuel and his friends when they reflect on the
splendid tumours that were bestowed on him
throughout the whole ceremony. Indeed, we may
say in one wind, that never was mortal man so pro-
fusely and so judiciously covered with .• honours
so bravely won." Scarcely a carriage at the wild
end was to be seen which was not decorated with his
trophies.
