The Chairing of Sir Francis Borriett, yesterdar.
upon his late re-election as one of the Members to
represent the City of Westminster in Parliament,
was one of she most splendid processions which we
ever remember to have seen. By the arrangement
of the Committee who mooned the Election, the
procession was to set out from Hyde P irk-corner,
and proceed through Piccadilly, the Haymarket,
Strand, Covent-garden, Acit. ace. then to dinner at
the Crown nod Anchor Tavern. At an early hour
in the day the concourse of people pressing forward
in every direction towards the wept end of the tow'',
strongly reminded us of the bustle of all ranks who
took a similar route on the evening of the Park.
Fetes, to c debrate the Peace of 1814; but the
crowds in the windows. and on the roofs of the
houses in Piccadilly, acc. exceeded any thing we
ever saw on any previous public occasion. The
windows were every where filled by Ladies of
fashion, and the roofs were actually covered by
people the appearance of some of them was really
terrific, from the immense throng who bent forward
on each others shoulders to overlook the precession
from the great height of the large houses in
Piccadilly. The famed curiosity, may we add the
limitable patriotism. so often displayed by 1 he Ladies
of Westminster, induced many of thetas to attempt
this dangerous elevation, and we were extremely
glad to find that their ultimate safety justified
their co.lidence in the ominous they occupied. riot-
withstanding the teinintrary apprelieloions excited
by the separation of a few slates moil bricks, which
was only productive of momentary inconvenience.
The coup trail from the terrace in trout of Earl
Spencer's anti the adjoining houses in the Green
Park, was beautiful in the extreme. The range of
rack and fashion which thronged the'ltaisks of the
basin, attired in the gay colours of the season, was
delightfully attractive, and the similar lines of
gaiety and elegance which caught the eye in har-
monious perspective, as it traced the distant view
along the lines of the windows and roofs towards
llyde Palk Corner, was indescribably niagni-
fic;,nt.

The cool shade from the large clusters of trees
near the basin, and the refreshing effect of the
jet treats from ►he fountain which played Mt° the
lake, gave to the foreground of this rick prospect
• variety and relief in the highest degree pleasing
and characteristic. If in art the colons of a
beautiful picture, when finely arranged and carried
off (to use the artist's term), give to the rye that
repose and harmony so productive of fascinating
effect, how much more exquisite must be the
charms which the real beauties of Nature and her
►cenery unfold in their loveliest combination—be-
fore these, the finest efforts of art are indeed cold
arid inanimate. The side of the Park towards
Constitution-hill presented an excellent contrast
and counterpart to the richness and more organised
gaiety of the Green Park and Piccadilly Terrace.
The bustle there was full of noisy merriment, and
if we supply with boys the place occupied by
bears, in Hogarth's ad:wirahle klection Picture,
anal omit the cudgel work, the resemblance wili be
complete. There was the same struggle fir
mounting spiked rails and fetters. with the same.
indifference to scraped limbs and torn clothes, all
the strong invokes of self feeling and individual
safety, were merged in the bunting glow of en-
thusiasm which the Election triumph excited.
The branches of the trees were every where
scaled, and their repeated crashing and yielding
wider an overwhelming weight, only furnished air
impetus for more adventurous climbing, and
for the decoration of hats with leaves collected
from the fallen fragments by those whose
beads had narrowly escaped fracture by the fall.
While this conflicting bustle, and contusion, and
tumbling, kept this port of the Park alive, the
streetsiu and from Piccadilly. and along the line of
the procession, were no less animated by their
respective throngs. The foot-paths in Piccadilly
were crowded at an early hour by persons of both
sexes and all ages, and until mid-day the compact
masses seemed to keep their ground with less of
pressure than Wight have bent expected from SO in-
terinitagled mid accidentally grouped a throng; but
at that time a very considerable number of carri-
ages, many of them filled by persons of fashion,
drew up and began to form at each side of the
street—these weir soon topped by persons claiming
acquaintance with the coachmen and postillions, and
the prospect, so fondly cherished by those whose
early toil was rewarded by positions on the iron
railing and walls of the Park, breams intercepted
by the more elevated situation of the favoured few
on the coaches. This eclipse of the popular view
was, however, a• transient as Nlr. Coining lately
hoped, at Liverpool, would be their " political de-
lusion," for not only were the coach-rinifs cleared
by a summary and very effectise process, but the
carriages themselves were put in motion, as d
