The carriages continued to arrive through-

Horse Guards •to Westminster Abbey. became
blocked together in a double row. and many
lwrionages of distinction quitted their carriage*,
and proceeded on foot to the doors of admission.
The !edits were splendidly attired. chiefly in
white satin dresses, richly trimmed with lace—the
head-dresses were of the same elegant ond costly
materials. with pearl clasps. and surmounted
by rich plumes of white heathers, which re-
duced a graceful and dignified effect. The
jewellery worn chiefly consisted of pearl ornaments,

Soon alter 12 o'clock all the sear. appropriated to
Irdies in the body of the House of Lords were filled
I'reres•es and their families. The sides below
the bar were also crowded to excess. The new
throne. which iv now completed. seemed to be the
object or general admiration ; iu overpoWering Mag.

when contrasted with the golden blaze shed on all
sides front the throne; but the rich dresses of the
ladies, and reflection on the walls from the new
acarlrt batwing.. upheld the splendid effect hf the
principal ornament,. The ladies continued to fill
the avenues to the House until nearly two o'clock.
At ten minutes before two o'clock his Majesty
arrived in state at the House of Lords, and muse.

The Usher of the Black Rod was then sent to

The LORD CHANCELLOR then reads copy of his

one of the clerks at the table.

goillity was disturbed. The Noble Marquis al-
Inded to the system of laws which now regulate the
commercial concern, of this empire, and had ex-
pressed a wish that they thonlil be investigated foe
the purpose of a general alteration. This was a
subject upon which it would be impos•ible to speak
without entering into it at considerable length, but
neither the present occa.iun nor his own wishes
prompted him to undertake this task. Elms own
