jesty entered, his state carriage at 35 minutes plat
one o'clock, dressed in a Field Marshal's uniform,
*posing five of his splendid orders. We are happy
to say he appeared in perfect health. He was at-
tended in Tits carriage by the Duke of Montrose,

Lord in Waiting. 'A short time elapsed previous

the Palace-yard, arid entered P 41440411. The
trumpets of the Life Guards sounding, 'combined
• with the loud hones of the populace usserobled in
Pall-mall and Waterloo-place, gave the whole
a very imposing effect .and majestic appearance,
in the Sovereign of England proceeding in the
midst of his people to perform the most important
legislative set of his kingly office. His Majesty
was received with every mark of respect, slid loudly
cheered as he passed through the crowded streets,
and the windows of the houses were tilled princi-
pally by females elegantly dressed. His Majesty
entered the Parliament House exactly at five mi-
nutes hefore two o'clock, which was announced by
a royal salute of several cannon, upon the Lambeth
shore.

An awful and melancholy event took place just
berme the arrival of the state carriage in the front
of the ent►ance to the House of Peers set apart for
the King. Mr. Clem engineer in the artillery,
who hat had the direction of the firing of the small
cannon on days of rejoicing, attended yesterday as
usual. He preceded the Royal procession a short
distance, carrying the large signal Srg for the di--
charge of the cannon on the Lambeth shirr., rre_
cornpanied by an artilleryman. One of the King's
footmen, previous to the coming up of the state
carriage, was conversing with Mr. Clegg upon the
state of the weather, and Mr, C. had just observed
that he thought the rain would keep old', when he
fell down awl expired. He was carried to the liar
and Garter public-horse near the spot, and two
medical men were speedily procured, but to tio
purpose, they were of opinion life had left Imudi
the instant he fell.

The awful occurrence did not copse any delay in
the discharge of the royal salute from the Limbo!
shore on the King entering the Parliament House, as
the artilleryman who had accompanied Mr. Clegg
ran to the water side, and waved a flag to the 0121111
on the Lambeth shoreas the signal for the discharge.

OVERTURE MADE TO HER MAJESTY.
• (riot tot PATERS Or ourvarray.)
On the arrival of Lord Ilurcm: NOON and
BROUGHAM at St. Omer, on Saturday evening, Mr.
Beovommie was firet introduced to her itlAlrsiY.
After a few complimentary of lions on both
aides, Mr. BROUGHAM announced to the Qur
that Lord Hurcitiusou, who bad formerly been a
warm friend of her MAJESTY, sod who was now a
confidential friend of the KING, had come in the
spirit of sincere friendship to both, to make some
proposals ill MS MAJESTV'S name. The QUEEN
immediately answered that she shoo i.l hr ino.tlooppy

woe accordingly introduced, and took coffee with
her MAJESTY, who conversed mr iudiffereot
till his Lordship rose to go sway, when her MA-
JESTY said, that as she understood lie bad soon*
proposals to make to her from the K 1%0. She should
wish to see them in writing, and witliont delay. 11
consequence of this request, Lord HUTCHINSON
wrote the following letter to Mr. BROUGHAM, as
the official adviser of her 111.01taTv

HER MAJESTY'S JOURNEY TO CALAIS.
Immediately atter her rejection of the propnsi.
lion made by Lord Hutchinson. her Majesty re.
quested Alderman IVood.whose Vod toomptaiice she
had hitherto so frequently experienced, to order
horses to be imon•diately put to the carriages, and
to dispatch a coarrer to prepare lior.ea on the road
between St. Omer'. and Calais. She was particu-
larly anxious oil this Isar. point, having evidently e
very strong omit eliension that the French Govern-
ment might endeavour to intercept, Or at least reoaril
her passage to the coat tm refusing hotsrs. 'lbis
apprehension will account for her Majesty's haste
to leave Sr, o:ner's, Nod to put herself on hoard an
English packet. At half past five she left Sr.

her female atientlanzs followed in another carriage,
and a third carriage conveyed Alderman Wood, his

make his appearance even to hand her Majesty to

from showing himself; arid thus the professional
friend of the Queen, and the confidential friend of
the King, were left behind to mingle reflections on
the event which had just taken place. It may be
proper to mention, that her Majesty was, on walk.
