Thc officer on gtuird (we believe Colonel M'Kinnon)
Wets immediately summoned to the spot, and asked
I•er Majesty lor her ticket. She replied that she
had notit., and as Queen of England needed no me :
he profess.d his soirow, but said he must obey
orders, and that his orders were to see that no
person whatever it:multi be admitted without a
ticket. Her Majesty then retired. They went to
the door of the Duchy of Lancaster behind the
Champion's stable, and had the door shut in their
faces. They then turned round, and leaving the
royal carriage behind, proceeded to demand admis-
sion at another entrance. The same intense sensa-
tion of interest and the same applause mixed with
partial disapprobation continued to follow her.
When she arrived nearly at the other extremity
of the platlbrm---iliat which was opposite to the
central pavillion—her further progress was arrested
by a tile of about a doim soldiers, who were sod-
(lolly ordered to form across the platform. Her
Majesty then quitted it, and went straight on to the
House of Lards on foot.

" Lord Hood having desired admission for her
Majes.y,

. •
" The door-keepers drew across the entrance, and
requested to see the tickets.
Lord lioaL—l .resent you your Queen; .surely it is not
nrcessary tut tier to have a ticket.
Door Keeper.—Our orders ore to admit no person without a
Peer's tic et. . . . . . .

Lord llood.—This is your Queen : she is entitled to admission
without such a tUrni. _ . .

The Queen. fowling, but still in some agitation—Nes, I am
ppm Queen, will you admit me?
Dour Keeper.—Al y orders are specific, and 1 fed myself bound
to obey them.
The Queen smiled.
Lord dual.—l have a ticket.

Door KeArcr.—Then, my Lord, we will let you pass upon
prialucing it.
Lord Hood now drew from his pocket a Peer's ticket for one
person ; the original name in whose favour it was urAwn was
erased, and the name of Wellington substituted.
Door Ilitxper.-71This will let one person ;11.49, but no more.

Lord your Majesty-go in alone?
Her Majesty at first assented, but did not persevere.
Lord Aloud--Am 1 to understand, that you refuse her Ma.
jesty admission?
1/oo Kerper.—We only act in conformity with our orders.
Iler Majesty again smiled.
Lord Hood.—Then you refuse the Q-teen admission ?
A door keeper of a superior order then came forward, and was
asked by Lord Hood whether any preparations had been made
Sac her Majesty ? He answered respectfully in the uegative.
I.onl Hood —Will your Majesty enter the Abbey without
your Lathes.
Her ISlajesty deelimtd.
Lord Hood then said, that her Majesty had betc retire to
her carrizioc. It was clear no provisions had been made for her
accom motiatiou.
Her Majesty assented.
Wine persons within the porch of the Abbey laughed, and
unci ed some expressions of disrespect.
Lord Howl.—We expected to have met at least with the con-
duct of gentlemen. Such conduct is neither manly nor man.
ncrly.
Her Majesty then retired, leaning on Lord Hood's arm, and
followed by Lady Hood and Lady Hamilton.
She was preceded by constables back to the platform, over
which she returned, entered her carriage, and was driven off
amitLt reiterated shouts of applause.
At halt' past seven o'clock, a number of gentle-
tirest.,l in a mulberry-brown frock coats with
tehite lace roll's and white sashes, entered ; they
were the attendants upon the acting Eurl Marshal,
and bore gold wands with the emblazoned arms of
the Duke of Norfolk, the hereditary Earl Marshal.
The Gentlemen Pensioners entered at the same time,
and the Heralds laid their maces of office, and the
swords of state, at the top of the peers' dining
table, on the western sideof the hall. The different
attLiidants were then called to their respective
places, the military, heralds, and other personages,
who had throughout the mont;ng moved backwards
and hwwards in detached Ladies, began to separate
and assume more regular 0r.1.f, and every appear-
;:nee denoted the near approach of the solemn cere-
lawdes of the day. Before eight. o'clock most of
the persons who imad to walk in the procession as-
sembled in the appointed places.
Soon after eight o'clock Mr. Fellowes led into
the Hall Hiss Fellow-es, who afterwards preceded
the pi oce,sion on the royal platform as his Ma-
jest)'s herbwoman ; she was attended (as her
maids) by Miss Garth, Miss Collier, Mis Rams-
bottom, Miss Hill, Miss Daniel, and Miss Walker.
The ladies were eery elegantly dre:;sed in white
muslin with !lowered ornaments. Shortly after
three, large ornamented baskets filled with flowers
were brought iu and placed near the ladies, who
were, until the procession moved, accommodated
with chairs at the extremity of the Hall. At a
quarter past eight o'clock the doors were closed;
the canopy-b,!arers were airatiged at the foot of
the royal platform, and the Heralds commenced
their arrangements for marshalling the procession
la the hall. The King's Sergeants, Lens, Vaug-
Onslow, Pell, entered in their seai let robes :
the Knights of the Bath, and the Knights Com.
r.aoders of the 11 ith, followed, in the collars and
l“.bits of their older, were divided by Heralds,
and filed Ott ut each side of the hall behind the
l'eers' tables. The Judges now entered, and were
rtauged without the Peers' tables. Privy Coun-
cillors were next arranged: among them were the
