At 33 minutes Intim: ten, the clangour of the trumpet gave
notice that the procession was moving front Westminster Hail ;
and very soon afterwards, Miss Fellows, the King's herb woman
attended by her six maids, were seen scattering flowers on the
blue cloth with which the centre of the platform was carpeted.—.
Miss Fellows and her ntaids appeared to have studied their parts
very attentively. Ophelia herself could not have dealt out the

mantle hung grmfully from her shoulders. Her attendants were
arrayed in virgin white," their halt bring simply but tastefully
ornamented with flowers. As the procession moved, the (toed
was dazzled with its splendour. As is cus omary on such occa-
sions, popular feeling was manifested, us diarent individuals
who have appeared on the political arena passed along the plat-
form. Alderman Wood received strong marks of affection and
and good-will, but they wt re not unmixed with symptoms of
dutapprobation. One or tv..o voices exclaimed No %\ Doti !"
to which an Hibernian labourer responded with laughable effect,
" No wood! lithere was no wood what would you do for scats

continued hisses. And now, in the distance, his Majesty was
seen approaching ; a canopy composed of tile richest cloth of gold,
being suspended over his head by the sixteen Barons of the
Cinque Ports. His Majesty looked extremely pale, On his
return, however, from the Abbey, he seemed to have recovered
his spirits, and appeared to be engaged in cheerful convesation
with the noblemen by whom he was attended.

On the arrival of the procession at Westminster Hall,
the herb-woman with her maids and the aerjeant poser
remained at the entrance within the west•door ; the
drums and trumpets filed oft to the gallery. over the

side of the throne to his chair of state, on the east side
thereof, opposite to the altar; and after his private de-
