preceded by the official servants of the Lord Mayor on
horseback, and immediately by the City Marshal. The
Members of the Co- airatious were cheered as they passed
by with the shout: .f she ltitude. The ptople were
perfectly quiet : tnose who were locked arm-in-arm (in
the manner which at Manchester was construed into
military array) fell hack and afforded mom for the pas-
satte of the carriages; and oti each side throu4h the
whole of the great line of streets, as far as the eye could
reach, there was, with the exception of the narrow way
in the midst, a dense and impassable crowd. When
the Lovd Mayor arrived at Temple-bar the gates were
opened, and the city authorities, iii form, welcomed the

The south door of the Cathedral was opened for the
admission of the Common Council Committee, who
were dressed in their gowns, and held in their hands
wands with spiral wreaths of white ribbon with laurel,
and rosettes at the lop. Several persons who were sup-
plied with tickets, and those who are connected with the
Cathedral, entered at the same door, after a most tre-
mendous crush. Before elLten o'clock several of the
seats in the aisle were occupied, and a few Mate seats in
the gallery; but the regulations made by the Police to
prevent disorder effectually prevented the slighter: axon-
venience to the congregation durina the s.•ro ice.
Doctor Hughes, and the metahers of tree choir,
entered at the norm door, which was immediately after-
wards closed.

At eleven o'clock the special constables who were
provided with states, Ihrined a space between the large
elltrallee ttl the Cathedral and the door of the Church,
and mai it tained it until the arrival of the Queen. Nearly
WO ladies, dressed in white, with white veils, entered
the Cathedral too by two, and advanced to the seats
which were ratified behind the pulpit. It was stated
that tins procession had been homed urigioally to precede
the Qtteen immediately to the Cathedral, but that the
Dean having of to any procession, it was thouglir
necessary to pass the ladies in without ceremony, and
accordingly they reached the Chancel a considerable time
before the Queen arrived.
A few minutes before twelve o'clock, Dr. litizhea,
wliu had been occupied the greater part of the inorillilg nl
giving directions to those upon whose respoirsitoloy
the Cathedral had been opened, entered the Church,
and addressed himself to several Mambers of the C nu-
tnittee, who were dispersed throtign the aisle. lie ap-
peared exceedingly indignant, and said lie much regret-
ted that tile Corpot mum had not kept their promise to
him. It hail been agreed upon, he added, between him
and the Corporation, that the gates should lx tt •11
open for the reception of the public at a quarter Inure

twelve, and the police officers had refined :o comply
with the order to that etlec:. The Reverend Doom-
then left the Church evidently indignant at the efooduct
of tile police.

.hat It had hem agreed spun the night before that the
gates shoubl nut be opened till the Queen should have
arrived, and that in this proposal Dr. Hopes had
acq,lieseed.
It is necessary also to slate, that the Committee had
matte apOication to the Sub-Dean for permission to place
man along the aisle tip ,t) the seat which her Nlajesiy
was to occupy, and to decorate the seat. The Stab-D2aii
thought proper to make am alteration whatever, and
Doctor II added, that all the directions upon the
subject of the refusal to allow any additomal acconi

Her Majesty was led by the Lord Mayor to ilia
Bishops seat on the south side of the choir; Lady Ha-
milton sat itrunediately on her left ; beyond Lady
Hamilton sat Mr. Joseph Hume., M. P. and on her
Majesty's right staiir Rohen Wilson and Mr. Hobtiouse,
this latter iii a Court uress. Toe Hon. K. C‘aven sat at
the desk tinder her Majesty.
The Lnd Mayor took his own seat, immediately op.
posh. her Majvsly, on the north side of the choir, with
A!dermait Wood ou his left, the officers of the Corpora-
tion in front.

The whole congregation having been seated, the ser.
vice commenced. The prayers were read by the Rev.
Mr. Hayes, and the litany by the Rev. Mr. Pritiden and
toe Rev. Mr. Pack.

It was rumoured that a paper was handed to 1)r.
Hughes, destritil that in the general prayer of thanks-
4iving her name should be included, as one who parti-
cularly desired to offer up her praises and thanksgivings
for the blekiings she had received nom the nands of Pro-
vidence. %%indicter claim the Doctor might have sup-
posed her Majesty to be possessed of, it is curtain that
no notice was taken of the application publicly.
The moment the service commenced her Majesty
knelt down. Her face was half covered with her veil.—
Having prayed for some time, she rose, and threw herself
back into her seal, where she remained for sonic time
without the slightest motion. Through the whole of
Utility she knelt, and was out oldie view of the great-
est part of the congregation. There was no interruption
whatever to the service, and nothing remarkal!e took
place, except what was generally expected—the ocuia-

As mutt as the service, which concluded at a quarter
before two, was at an end, the ladies who lormed the
procession, walked two by two out of the clinrcn Her
Nlajeuy rose from the commit on which site had been
kateeliwz, and took the arm of the Lord Mayor, who
approached her as soon as a greater part of the congre-
gation had ativa,.ced to the aisle.
The Queen and the Lord Mayor then walked um, and
were followed by Aldermen ‘Vood, Lady Amie

ton, kc. The order of departing front was Vl'letly the
same Ji that of approachin4 to the place of worship. As
