Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge met
with as hearty a reception. As the Royal procession
slowly wound its way between the lofty aisles, the spec-
tacle presented was one as gorgeous and impressive as any-
thing that could well be imagined. When her most Gracious
Majesty came within sight, the vast audience simultane-
ously rose; and a shout " loud as from numbers without num-
ber," rang through the venerable arches of the Abbey, and
was re-echoed by the multitudes without, testifying in sincere
and heartfelt tunes the loyalty and affection with which the
youthful and august monarch of these realms was regarded by
her thousands of assembled subjects. Her Majesty, as she walk-
ed up the Nave displayed perfect self-possession, returning the
enthusiastic greetings with which she was received in a manner
marked by that union of gentleness and dignity so characte-
ristic of her Majesty. Her Majesty was immediately pre-
ceded by Lord Melbourne, and the Duke of Wellington (as
Constable of the Tower)—a circumstance which was re-
marked by the spectators, and elicited no slight applause. On
her Majesty's entering the Choir, the cheering was again re-
newed, and was indeed only put a stop to by the opening of
the Coronation Anthem.
The Great Officers of State, the Archbishops of Canter-
bury and York, the Noblemen appointed to carry the Regalia,
all in their robes of estate, and the Bishops who were to sup-
port her Majesty, as well as those who were to carry the Bible,
the Chalice, and the Patina, assembled in the Jerusalem
Chamber, adjoining the Deanery, before Ten o'clock, where
the Regalia, having been previously laid on the table, was
delivered by the Lord Chamberlain of the Household to the
Lord High Constable, and by him to the Lord Willoughby
d'Eresby, as Lord Great Chamberlain, and by his Lordship
to the Noblemen by whom the same were borne in the fol-
lowing order, viz. :
REGALIA.

First, St. Edward's Staff, to the Duke of Roxburghe.
Second, The Spurs, to the Lord Byron, Deputy to the
Baroness Grey de Ruthin.
Third, The Sceptre with the Cross, to the Duke of Cleve-
land.

Fourth, The pointed Sword of Temporal Justice, or Third
Sword, to the Marquis of Westminster.

Fifth, The pointed Sword of Spiritual Justice, or Second
Sword, to the Duke of Sutherland.

Eleventh, The Patina, to the Bishop of Bangor.
Twelfth, The Chalice, to the Bishop of Lincoln.
Thirteenth, The Bible, to the Bishop of Winchester.
The Dean and Prebendaries of Westminster were in the
Nave, in readiness to join the proceeding next before the
Officers of her Majesty's Household.
Her Majesty, and the Princes and Princesses of the Blood
Royal, attended by the officers of the household, having ar-
rived at the west entrance of the Abbey, her Majesty was re-
ceived by the great officers of State ; the Noblemen bearing
the regalia, and the Bishops carrying the patina, the chalice,
and th Bible, when her Majesty retired to her robing cham-
ber, constructed on the right of the platform without the
entrance.
The Ladies of her Majesty's household, and the officers of
the Royal household, and of the respective households of the
Princes and Princesses, to whom duties were not assigned in
the solemnity, immediately proceeded to the places prepared
for them respectively.
Her Majesty having been robed, advanced up the nave into
the choir ; the choristers in the orchestra singing the anthem,
" I was glad when they said unto me, we will go into the
house of the Lord," &c.
At a quarter before 12 o'clock the head of the procession
appeared issuing from the Royal entrance, under the organ,
and advanced up the aisle in the following order :
