ROYAL PROCESSION FROM BROMLEY'

Yesterday evening the neighbourhood of the Kent-road
and the various thoroughfares leading thereto, presented
a scone of the most lively and interesting bustle, in con-
sequence of the expectation of his MAJESTY and suite
passing that way on their return from Bromley,
where they had been attending a grand dejeune. The
crowds continued to assemble and increase most nume-
rously along the road from an early hour, and at half-pet
eight o'clock, and from that to half-past nine, the crone:
roads near the Bricklayers' Arms, the Elephant and
Castle, and the Obelisk, were so completely lined with
spectators, that it was rendered dangerous to pass that
way, in consequence of the numerous stage-coaches and
other vehicles passing in that direction, and some of the
most unruly of the crowd created considerable confusion,
in consequence of calling out to every coachman and driver
of a cart to take their hats off, and cheer for King
WILLIAM IV. as they drove by, and a non-observance of
the mandate invariably entitled Jarvey to the penalty of a
pelting, leaving no remedy of appeal.
At near ten o'clock the distant cheering announced the
approach of the MONARCH, and at length two horse sol-
diers and outriders advanced, and were followed by several
Royal carriages, one of which contained his MAJESTY.
The cheering was tremendous all the way they passed.
The carriages drove at a rapid pace, but crowds preceded
the procession, calling out, ready to strain their lungs,
" Make way, the KING'S a coming," and every vehicle
instantly turned away, to make room for their " Royal
master." The populace assembled in the Westminster-
road, Westminster-bridge, Bridge-street, Parliament-street,
&c. ; and the line of procession entered the Park amidst the
enthusiastic cheers of the multitude assembled. At the
approach of his MAJESTY, in various parts of the road,
fire-arms and fireworks were discharged and displayed,
especially in the Westminster-road, near the Surrey
Theatre, where the most brilliant exhibition took place,
and was continued for a considerable time after the pro-
cession passed.
HERNE BAY PIER COMPANY.

On Monday last the projectors of this great undertaking,
accompanied by the Directors. Shareholders, and their
friends, proceeded from St. Katharine's wharf, in the
Ramona steam vessel, to witness the driving of the firs:
pile of this desirable pier.
The day was most propitious, and the noble vessel was
decorated with a profusion of flags ; among them a large
one, bearing the Kentish arms, and the words " Herr se
Bay Pier Company," above which, waving in stately
pride, was the Union Jack,
The flag that's braved a thousand years,
The battle and the breeze."
On leaving the wharf, the band struck up " Rule
Britannia," and a salute was fired. The scene was alt,.
gether most animating and imposing during the voya_e,
and the company seemed highly delighted with their ex-
cursion. On reaching the bay another salute announced
the arrival of the Directors, which was immediately an-
swered from shore. The company now landed, and the
Directors proceeded to the platform to superintend the
driving of the pile ; this was done under the acclamations
of thousands, congregated from London, Margate, Canter-
bury, and all the villages adjacent. After the ceremony
the company Were much pleased by rustic amusements of
every description, accompanied by a regatta for a subscrip-
tion purl , which terminated in the evening with a noble
display of fireworks : indeed, so fascinating was the scene,
that a great part of:the company did not return till the
following day. Thus began most auspiciously a work that
bids fare to be of the greatest public utility and rival (even
in this age of improvement), the first undertakings of the
day. Sir Henry Oxenden has, we understand, expressed
it his intention to give a piece of land for the erection of
a church.
