an hour afterwards the first part of the magnificent procession lowing order, viz.:—
made its appearance. It is impossible for us to particularize
the reception of the various august personages who consti-
tuted the pageantry; and we must confine ourselves to the
following brief statement of facts :—Marshal Soult met with
the most rapturous gratulations of the whole people, forming
the most conclusive answer to the unworthy attempts
which have been made of late to excite a spirit of insult towards
that illustrious Nobleman. The applauding which welcomed
the arrtvai of the carriages of the Duchess of Kent and her
attendants, and the Duke of Sussex and attendants, were of
the most rapturous description. But the Queen I Her re-
ception baffles every attempt at description. No sooner did
the people obtain a sight of the features of her Majesty, than
t‘ such a noise atose
As shrouds make at sea in the stiff tempest,
As loud, and to as many tunes ; hats, cloaks,
(Jackets, ;twas said) flew up, and had their Lees
Been loose this day they had been lost."
Her Majesty felt sensibly the enthusiasm with which she was
hailed, and returned the salutations by repeated bows to the as-
semblage on both sides as the procession passed along.
Everything passed off in the most happy manner; and in
justice we state that the military and constabulary regulations
were of the first order.
CHARING-CROSS.
As early as six o'clock the opposite space opposite Charing-
cross and Trafalgar.aquare was crowded to excess by
persons of every rank and description, from the rich citizen
to the poor mechanic, all anxious to catch a glimpse of, and
to show their loyalty to England's virgin Queen. The erec-
tions from this place to this Horse Guards are many of them
tasteful in the extreme, especially at the Admiralty, where the
accommodation for the ladies of the various officers of that de-
partment are very extensive. Along the whole of this line
the smiling and lovely faces of the beauty of England
" Made us gaze we knew not where,
. Dazzled with beauty."
The commencement of the procession arrived at Charing
Cross at half-past ten o'clock, and this was the signal for the
congregated multitude to exercise might and right. Hun-
dreds who had patiently kept their places in the front since six
o'clock were forced back, and it was with the greatest diffi-
culty the soldiers and police could prevent incursions on the
line set apart for the procession. On the arrival of the carriage
of Marshal Soult, Dpke of Dalmatia, opposite Drummond's
banking house, the hero of " a hundred fights" was most
enthusiastically cheered. The veteran Marshal returned the
honour with the greatest grace, and appeared highly de-
lighted with the attention paid him. The passim-, of the
Duchess of Kent's carriage was the signal for another rush,
and we do firmly believe, that but for the police, the crowd
would have carried their loyalty so far as to have forced their
hands into the Royal carriage, in order to demonstrate their
feelings by shaking hands with the mother of their be-
loved Queen. Her Royal Highness appeared highly
delighted and repeasedly acknowledged the enthusiastic
demonstrations of loyalty and respect towards her. The Duke
and Duchess of Cambridge were greatly cheered, but the
applause that was conferred upon the Duke of Sussex was
beyond description; it must have been most grateful to his
Royal Highness, who appeared greatly affected. At ten
minutes past 11 o'clock, her Majesty in the Royal State car-
riage passed Charing Cross. At this moment the waving of
handkerchiefs from every balcony and window, and the loud
buzzes and demonstrations of loyalty from the congregated
thousands below, pourtrayed a scene which it is impossible for
pen to describe. Her Majesty appeared highly delighted,
and repeatedly bowed in the most condescending manner.
Upon the Royal Carriage arriving at the Admiralty, the
acclamations of the assembled multitude were renewed.

the regalia, and the Bishops carrying the patina, the chalice,
and the Bible, when her Majesty repaired to her robing cham-
ber, constructed on the right of the platform without the en-
trance.

The Ladies of her Majesty's household, and the officers of
the Ruyal household, and of the respective households of the
Princes and Princesses, to whom duties were not assigne.l 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 sing►ng the anthem,
" I was glad when they said unto me, we will go into the
house of the Lord," &c.

Lady Adelaide Paget.

The Horse Guards, as well as all the other Government
Offices, were crowded at every window and every house-top at
a very early hour. Along Par:iament-street there were some
very tasteful erections in front of the houses, which were
generally covered with some device ; they were festooned, and
branches of evergreens were judiciously interspersed, so as to
give the whole line a very pleasing appearance, which was
much heightened when they were filled with beautiful
and smiling happy faces. Amongst all, the largest and
most tasteful was that erected by the Reform Club.
It gave accommodation to 600 ladies and 500 Members and
friends. We understand that the Committee have resolved
to afford refreshments to the whole of their visitors upon this
auspicious occasion. In St. Margaret's Church-yard these
was not an inch of spice unoccupied, and every seat was fil:cd
before nine o'clock. No scats sere to ba obtained for 2s. 6d.
this morning as was the case upon the occasion of the Corona-
tion of George the Fourth.
The head of the procession reached this point at eleven
o'clock, and seemed to give pleasure to the whole of the vast
multitude assembled, many saying that it was the finest pro-
cession which they had ever seen in this country or abroad.
Marshal Soult was much cheered as he passed along the
line, with which he seemed to be well pleased.
The Duchess of Kent was most enthusiastically cheered,
the ladies all waving their handkerchiefs. .

The Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge were also cheered, and the immense mass as-
sembled, most enthusiastically and cordially cheered the Duke
of Sussex.

The multitude pf Reformers assembled in the Reform Club
House were so enthusiastic in their demonstrations of loyalty
as to draw the special attention of our youthful Quern,
who acknowledged it by repeated bows. As the Royal
carriage progressed the cheering and waving of handkerchiefs
were unbounded—every hat was doffed, and many were the
blessings invoked upon the head of her youthful Majesty.
Hpr Majesty arrived at the Abbey precisely at 32 rnibutes
past eleven o'clock. When she alighted, all the bands played
the National Anthem.

The arrival was announced at that moment by the firing of
a gun.
The procession was most admirably conducted, and, so far as
we were able to learn, without a single accident.
The line was kept by the police, assisted by the Gusrds
( Foot). The Royal Artillery Company, commanded by Co!.
Cex, were on duty in Parliament-street, and lou fly cheer( d
their Roy al Colonel, the Duke of Sussex, as he passed.
THE NAVE.
The great IN dy of the general spectators were congregated
in the Nave, along the sides of which galleries were con-
structed arranged in an arnphitheatrical form, with ten rows
of benches, risieg above one another, and calculated to hold
at least 1,500 persons. Very shortly alter five o'clock, the
hour at which the Abbey was opened, these galleries began
rapidly to fill, and by seven o'clock were crowded. The
spsetacle presented by this vast audieace was very striking.
The diversified colours of the different dresses. Naval and
Military Officers in their respective uniforms, Clergymen in
canonical robes, ivilians in endless variety of apparel—from
the most orthodox full dress, to the ordinary every-day gar.
ments (for the regulations as to full dress were by no means
enforced, though cone were to be seer who were not well
astired)—and above all, the countless hues which marksd the
dresses of the fair—all combined to render the scene at once
picturesque and phasing. The patience of these spectators
was to be severely tried by a six hours' delay ; but there ware
not Youth).- numerot s objects to divert their attention and wile
away tit- tedious inv.!) val. Those more distinguished personages
who had seats in the choir bad of course to pass up the nave, to
re Ich their various destinations, and were a sou: cc ofperp •tu illy
changing attraction. Now, a Judge of the land,. with slow
.and. legal step, p iced this floor ; then, a Peer of the Realm
arrayed in coronation robes of crimson velvet, edged nitli
ermine, and coronet in band, not unfrequently with a real and
unassumed dignity ef iort and bearing that forcibly remind'''
us of the " Knights and Barons bold" of by-gone ages ;
and
led us for a moment to believe that " the age of chivalry" had
not yet fled : anon, still more attractive, came' some
noble dame—her splendid flowing tgain spreading around
her in luxurious magnificence, her fair and lofty brow
hearing the impress of nobility, followed perbsps by some

that glittered around their persons.
