Cubitt), and by the Lord Mayor
London and Middlesex, the whole
that point being composed probably of not more
than a dozen carriages. At the south end of Lon-
don-bridge, where the civic jurisdiction begins, the
cavalcade will receive an enormous accession and
in its passage thence to Temple-bar, the western
confines of the city, it will perhaps be more inter-
esting as a spectacle than in any other part of tie
route. On London•briage the Royal Reception
Committee and the rest of the Corporation, with

the Court of Lieutenancy and the governing bodies
of the principal livery companies, numbering up•

wards of 300 persons in all, will be waiting to con-
duct the Princess through the city, and the Lord
Mayor and Sheriffs taking the places assigned them
there, the cortege will then proceed on its way. The
civic dignitaries will wear their robes and badges
of office, and the Court of Lieutenancy will appear
in uniform. The Masters and Wardens of the
livery companies in open carriages, each drawn by
four horses, with postillions wearing the colours of
the respective bodies, will lead the way ; the banners
of each of the companies being borne before their
different representatives. The deputation from the
Lieutenancy will follow in open equipages ; then
the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex ; the Lord
Mayor in his private state carriage, drawn by six
horses; and then the members of the Courts of
Aldermen and Common Councilmen in carriages.
In something like this order the Prince and Prin-
cess,escorted to Temple-bar, bthe Royal party, will be
street, the Mansion-house, and Cheapside, thence
round the south side of St. Paul's Cathedral, and
onward by Ludgate-hill and Fleet-street. The
details of the pageitnt, so far .as the Corporation of
Londcn is concerned, are not yet settled, but the
principal features in it have been indicated. At
Temple-bar the civic authorities will resign the
post of honour to the Duke of Buccleuch, as Lord
High Steward of the city of Westminster, who
with the Dean and Chapter, the High Bailiff, the
members of the Ancient Court of Burgesses, and
other representative bodies of the citizens, will con-
duct their Royal Highnesses to the entrance to
Hyde Park, by way of Pall-mall, St. James's-street,
and Piccadilly, the Corporation of London, headed
by the Lord Mayor, with the.Court:of Lieutenancy,
bringing up the rear.
In the city the Volunteer force will form a con-
spicuous feature in the ceremony. The old Artillery
Company will be drawn up in front of Adelaide-
place and Fishmongers'-hall, at the north end of
London-bridge, with a battery facing the bridge
from King William's statue. In the open space in
front of the Mansion-house, the whole of the Lon-
don Rifle Brigade are to be massed, stretching
across from the Bank of England to the corner of
Lombard-street. Another of the city corps
will be grouped between St. Martin's-le-Grand
and the Peel monument, at the top of Cheapside ;
and a third will occupy the vacant ground at the
junction of Cannon-street with St. Paul's-church-
yard. In all cases the Volunteer corps will be pro-
tected by barriers from the pressure of the crowd
from beblud. It is probable that some of the Surrey
Volunteers will be placed at salient points of the
route in Southwark, and that the Westminster
corps may do similar duty in Trafalgar-square.
It is understood that none but the Royal car-
riages will enter the long quadrangle in which
the Volunteers will be drawn up in the park. The
corps, which are ordered to be on the ground not
later than two o'clock, will be formed in two double
lines, facing inwards, each line four deep and 40
paces apart, to allow room for the staff of the brigade
and divisional generals in front. These double lines
will extend across the open ground from the back of
the Achilles statue to the Marble Arch. Up to
Saturday evening the numerous corps had received
the sanction of the War-office to take part in the
demonstration, but of course a very considerable
number of additional applications will be received
in the course of to-day, so that the total number on
the ground on Saturday will probably exceed 16,000.
The Royal carriages will simply pass along be-
tween the lines, receiving a Royal salute, and, issu-
ing forth at the Marble Arch, will be followed by
the rest of the cavalcade towards Paddington. Not
much has yet been undertaken by the Great
Western authorities at the Paddington station,
and along
but with the immense staff at their disposal two or
three days would be ample to effect all that is re-
quired even for an occasion like the present. At
Slough, the road to Windsor, the prepara-
tions are all well advanced, while in Windsor itself
it is intended to illuminate both on the night of the
arrival and the wedding.
