The picture was exceedingly grand after the
triumphal arch had been passed. The crowd was
so dense that the cavalcade could only make itaway
with difficulty, and was obliged frequently to halt.
Every window and balcony was crowded, and flags
and inscriptions added to the gaiety of the scene.
To the Hon. Artillery Company, the first in rark
as in age, were assigned the post of honour, and
their salute was the first to greet the son of the
gracious Prince who was for many years their
colonel, the late Prince Consort, on bringing his
bride within the limits of the City. The infantry
division of this magnificent corps was deployed into
line and occupied Adelaide-place, and all the space
in front of the gorgeous triumphal arch which spans
the roadway.

The horse battery and field battery of the Royal
City Artillery were stationed at King William's
statue, the granite effigy of the sailor king—fit
emblem of the loyalty of the corps. At this point
the Royal pair may be said to have been sur-
rounded by the hearts and hands of the descend-
ants of the ancient Train Bands.

Great delay ensued in making the passage ofliing
William-street, as well from the terrible pres-ure
of the crowd as from some of the aldermen and a
part of the common councilmen having oddly
enough been permitted to draw up their carriages
all along the east side of the street. This unseemly
and impropei "block" thus created caused great
delay.
The Mansion House was reached at a quarter
after three. This was the grand spectacle of the
day. The reception was, in truth, a splendid
ovation.

The Corinthian columns of the Mansion-house
were elegant and beautifully arranged, draped with
crimson cloth. From the capitals were suspended
sags of flowers, from the centres of which were
hung wreaths of orange blossoms. On the
shafts of the columns were fixed medallions
of the Prince and Princess in relief surrounded
with wreaths of the oak, surmounted by the
Prince of Wales's plume. From the windows were
suspended crimson drapery with wreaths, in the
centre of which were placed alternately the Cross
of Denmark and the Prince of Wales's feathers.
Under the portico, and in a projecting gallery were
seated a host of elegantly attired ladies and gentle-
men. In the front sat the Lady Mayoress, sur-
rounded by a bevy of young ladies, who, on the
approach of the Princess, descended from the por-
tico to meet her, and presented to her Royal High-
ness a bouquet. Provision has been made for illu-
minating the building with gas ; and on the balus-
trade, at the summit of the building, will be affixed
tripods, from which fire will ascend.
The cavalcade here halted, whilst a young lady
—we believe the Lord Mayor's daughter—de-
scended, and presented the Princess with
a splendid bouquet of flowers, a gift
very courteously received, and doubtless a boon,
for the atmosphere, owing to the exhalations from
the immense throng was actually hot and ex-

haunting.
The
procession set again on its way. All along
Cheapside, which was gaily decorated, the vivas of
the enormous multitude rent the very air. Here
there were several stoppages, and Lord Paget
had to call upon the police to do
their duty or no progress could be made.
With much difficulty a way was carved though the
crowd by the aid of the military and royal footmen.
St. Paul's was reached at half-past 3. A grand
pavilion bad been erected, and accommodation
afforded for upwards of 10,000 people. The recep-
tion here was vociferous.
Temple-bar was reached at a quarter to four.
Here the City authorities retired up Chancery-late,
and the procession was taken up by the Westmin-
ster authorities.

thorities at Temple-bar, s'as made up as follows.i

cheering, and every eye Was directed towards the
part from which the cortege was approaching. As
it passed along the seeming interminable line of
volunters, the bands suCcessively play e'. " God Save
the Queen" and the Danish National Hymn. The
cheers of the populace were taken up by those in
the ranks, and amidst the welcome of a hundred
thousand voices their royal highnesses pl,rsued
their journey towards the Paddington station.
During the last twenty years there certainly has
not been a greater number of persons congregated
than on the present occasion.
