ST. GEORGE'S CHAPEL.

Exactly at the appointed time, namely at but a
very few moments before the actual commencement
of the ceremonial, by the stately trailing in of the
Bridal procctsion, Her Most Gracious M,jesty

THE QUEEN
—having proceeded privately from the inner apart•
meats of the Castle---wee ushered into the quaint
old. itoyal Cioai, or Hinging Gallery, in Saint
George's Chapel, by the Lord Chamberlain! This
beautiful old Glthio Itayal Pew or Closet, it should
be mentioned, is the one built in the time of King
Henry. VII., is shaped somewhat like a Bay
\Vila:low with Royal escocheons adorning its
ester for, and was recognisable with interest from
the first this forenoon at a height of seve-
ral feet from the floor of St. George's Chapel, to the
left hand of the gorgeous congregation as it stood
there fronting the Communion Table. Into this
Royal Closet—suspended, as it were, in mid-air
upon the ancient wall—entered at this supreme mo-
ment of expectation—the revered and august
Monarch of these realms, our widowed Queen Vic-
toria, to-clay regarded by her loyal people
especially
_and beyond all in the light of
—The Beloved Mother of the Ciming Bride-
groom. Her Majesty—uthered, as we have said,
into the Royal Closet by the Lord Chamberlain,
was attended by a single Lord in Waiting, to wit,
the Lord Methuen, by a solitary Lady of the Bed-
chamber, the Lady Churchill, and by one only
Woman of the Bedchamber, the Hon. Mrs. It ,bent.
Bruce. Everyone who could catch a glimpse of
her Majesty as seen there through.tho mullioned
windows of tho Royal Closet, when viewed either
from the floor of the Chapel itself, or from
the oontiguous or confronting galleries, must have
been equally gratified like ourselves to note that her
Majesty appeared to he in excellent health, though
occasionally giving evidences of profound though
suppressed emotion in the nervous play of expres-
sion upon the royal lineaments.
The Ambassadors and other members of the
Corps Diplomatique invited to be present at the
august ceremony assembled in Wolsey's Chapel at
half-past 11 o'clock, and occupied the gallery on the
north Bide of the Altar, to which they were con-
ducted by Colonel Charles Bagot and the Hon.
Spencer Lyttelton. The Cabinet Ministers invited
to the ceremony who did not proceed in carriages
from Windsor Castle, nor took part in the proces-
sion, also assembled in Wolaey's Chapel at half-past
11 o'clock. They wete conducted by her Majesty's
Gentlemen Ushers to the seats reserved for them in
the choir and in the gallery on the south side of
the Altar.

Her Royal Highness the Princess Christian of
Denmark and the other foreign Princes and Prin-
cesses, guests of her Majesty, proceeded in the
Queen's carriages from the state entrance at Wind-
sor Castle to the west entrance of St. George's Cho pel,
and on arriving were received by the Master of the
Ceremonies, Sir Edwd. Cast, and conducted through
the Nave into the Choir of the Chapel. where seats
ware prepared for them upon the haut ras leading to
the Altar.
