the past, must at least have remembered one.
; On the celebrated 10th of April, when he was
among us au exile, in .a far different station of
life from that which lie now occupies, the inhabitants
of the metropolis turned out in: similar numbers
to uphold the dignity of the law and the insti-
tutions of the country. On that memorable day he
was one of them himself, armed with a constable's
baton for-the maintenance of order. Once again
they descended into the streets, to see pass by to
their last resting-place the remains of the mighty
chief who had been the most formidable opponent
of the founder of his dynasty. What changes the
world witnesses! A few short years pass by, and
the same London assembles to congratulate and'
cheer the nephew, the powerful ally of our Aov&
reign, on his way to Windsor. Everywhere along
the extended route which the Royal cortege took-
the enthusiastic welcomes of the multitude greeted
him. By the humbler inhabitants of the Borough
and Lambeth he was received with even greater '
cordiality than by the wealthier classes of the coal-
munity at the west-end, yet nowhere was there any
lack of hearty good feeling and interest. The win- !
dows, the pavements, the b Ilconies, the house-tops, ,`
and every spot, in short, whence a commanding '
view could be obtained of the procession, were all
densely croivded. At every street-crossing and
turning-point of the route, not only carriage.; and
eabs and omnibuses, but vehicles of every deserip-
lion were, converted into temporary stands for
,-

speetltorg.
Thy nijghty traffic ceaselessly flowing throug

the main arteries 4 the metropolis paused in
cr-atise to see the Emperor and Empress pass
They were seated with the Prince in an 0p..:;.1
baronehe, which went at the heal of the corte,F,
anti as the ptc,,> maintained was not much beyvn,l
a walk they were well seen by all. As they ;?p-
-pro tehed Westininser-bridge a Royal salute was
tired from the guns which usually announce her
Majesty's- arrival ,to open Or-prorogue Parliament.'
At Umfing-cross, where vast numbers of people
were coll,!cted, there was some display of flags, and
the effect, at this point was further heightened by
the hand of the Royal M trines, who played " Par-
taut pour la Spit," as the cortege passed the
Admiral The scette presented by the clubs in
Pa was particularly anhriated, and among

those who gaze? upon hii progress from the well
known haunts of former days his Majesty no daub
distinguished many oil funiiiar faces. In front o

St. James's Pahuh) a guard of Itnnou- turned out
and presented arms. St. James's-street had the
windows and balconies of all its houses filled with
a large assemblage of ladies, whose curiosity and
int,-rcst wore no doubt strongly excited bytheEtn-

pros., and who waved theirl;itndkerchiefs' as she
passed. When they passed King-street the En-
peror was observed to draw her attention to the
hous'; which he had occupiel in former drys; and
in him at least the sight of this under such altered
circumstances must have raised some strange emo-
tions. , All along Piccadilly the same display of
popular feeling greeted them, and so they passed
through Hyde Park to the Paddington station, re-
ceiving at every stage of their progress the warmest
manifestations of respect and welcome. It was 6
o'clock, an hour behind time, before they started
for Windsor, but they must. have -carried-away
with them a profound conviction of the cordial and
gratified feelings with whicl“heir visit has inspired
the inhabitants of this great metropolis and of the
country at large.
It is due to the admirable arrangements of the
police authorities that their exertions on this occa-
sion, both at Dover and in the metropolis, should
tie mentioned with the highest praise. If the Em-
peror wanted a convincing proof. of the'wisdom of
the step which he has recently taken in organising
a similar body for Paris, it was presented to hini
conspicuously, yesterday.
