His Excellency's carriage is of French manufacture. The body is of a
deep chocolate colour, relieved with white. On the pannels the Noble
Marquis's arms are emblazoned in t: beautiful style, to the garter of which
are appended the various Orders of his Excellency. It is the only carriage
(excepting_ Marshal Soult's that has sidelights. It is particularly re-
markable for its symmetry and chasteseos. At each corner is an elegantly
silver-mounted lamp, ornamented with his Excellency's coronet. The lining
is of a rich figured crimson damask, the roof being ornamented with festoons

quality, and have a grand and imposing appearance.
They were made by Jackson and Son, of Cork-
street, who furnished those of the Swedish and Hr,

technical phrase, was the most splendid in this
brilliant cortege. The carriage was drawn by two

horses.

on the pannels; the roof ornamented by four gold
coronets, one at each corner; the bead plates are of
brass, richly chased, and full mounted with brass;
the seat cloth is drab, bound with a rich figared silk

six fine grey horses, four-in-hand and postillions, and
was accompanied by two outriders on grey horses.

cuff:, and edging, richly laced with silver, and
richly embroidered with silver lace front, back, and

HYDE PARK CORNER.
As early as half-past seven this morning the curious began
to take their stations on each side of Piccadilly, and at half-
past eight it was impossible to get from or to the line by any
of the branch streets ; while " confused, unnumbered multi-

tudea" perambulated the line for the purpose of picking
...Toe she Leat spot -:he-y- could their
youthful and beloved Queen. Nor were those who had se-
cured seats at the different windows later in their arrival. The
galleries erected in front of the mansions of the late Lord Eldon
and of Lady Antrobus were, by eight o'clock, occupied with the
I' Fairest of Creation, the last and best of all God's works ;"
and certainly the space between Hamilton-place and Apsley
House presented a most beautiful and grand appearance.
At 9 o'clock, the Police commencel clearing the line,
and by half-past nine the road was in perfect order for the pro-
cession. Indeed, great credit is due to the police who were
stationed at this part of the line (the T division), for the very
quiet but effective way in which they did their duty.
A few minutes before tea the first squadron of Life Guards
reached Hyde Park-corner, and shortly afterwards the Foreign
Ambassadors arrived, the splendour of whose carriages appeared
to excite the admiration of all. Marshal Soult was warmly
greeted by the populace. Some little confusion was here
created in consequence of the Ambassador having broken the
line, but order was soon restored, and
" The pomp, the pageantry, and the proud array"
proceeded. At a quarter past ten a salute was heard an-
nouncing that her Majesty had left the palace, and this was
the signal for a hearty shout from the " numbers without
number."
The Duchess of Kent and the Duke of Sussex were
warmly greeted.
At half-past ten her Majesty's carriage passed Apsley
House, which—
" With slow hut stately pace kept on its course,
While all tongues cried—' God save thee'—
You would have thought the very windows spate
So many greedy looks of young anti old
Through casements darted their desirinz, eyes—
And that all the walls
With painted imagery had said at once—
' Jesu preserve thee." '
Thus the gorgeous carriage of' England's Queen moved on,
amidst the loud acclamations of her loyal and loving subjects,
which her Majesty most graciously acknowledged, while
" In every gesture was dignity and love."
ST. JAMES'S-STREET.
Viewed from St. James's Palace, the scene to the upper
end of St. James's• street was of the most brilliant and ani-
mated description. Nearly the whole of the windows and
balconies were occupied before seven o'clock, and at eight
scarcely a seat remained vacant. Crockford's had a peculiarly
splendid appearance, from the large number of elegantly attired
Indies who adorned the spacious galleries which extended the
whole length of the edifice. The humbler class of spectators
on the footpaths had by this time assembled in considerable
numbers, and continued to augment every moment; and in-
numerable were the " hair-breadth escapes" of the pedes-
trians in attempting to cross the street, particularly at its junc-
tion with Piccadilly, from the roll of carriages and passage of
troops. The danger was somewhat lessened, when at 8 o'clock
the barriers were closed to the public, remaining open merely for
those who had tickets for the Abbey. About nine o'clock the
barriers were finally closed, and the assembly the to
settle into soniethinit like order, for the purpose tf conve-
niently viewing the procession on its arrival. By half-past
nine an avenue had been completely formed, and the crowd
waited with the utmost impatience for the signal which was
to announce her Majesty's departure from the Palace. This
was at length heard, and about twenty minutes past
ten the first part of the cavalcade turned into St. James's-
street. A few minutes afterwards the baud arrived and struck
up " God save the Queen," amidst the warmest demonstra-
tions of respect. Marshal Soult on being recognized was
loudly cheered, and the applause was prolonged as his car-
riage proceeded down the street. The Duchess of Kent met
with an enthusiastic reception, and the Duke of Sussex was
greeted with immense cheering. The waving of handker-
chiefs from the windows now announced the approach of her
Majesty, and every eye was strained to catch a glimpse of the
carriage, which at length elite ed St. James's-street, amidst
the simultaneous and enthusiastic &seers of the assembled
multitude, which were prolonged as her Majesty gra-
ciously acknowledged the symptoms of loyalty which
were manifested. On passing St. James's Palace, abliut a
quarter before eleven o'clock, a short delay took place in con-
sequence, we understood, of one of the traces of her Majesty's
carriage giving way. This, however, was not regretted by
the spectators, who were gratified with a more perfect
view of her Majesty than they otherwise would have been,
and who seemed to vie with each other in their demon-
strations of attachment to her person. The accident
having been remedied, the procession again advanced.
PALL MALL.
This formed ono of the most interesting, districts in the
whole line of the gorgeous procession. Here the ingenuity
of the architect, the painter, the carpenter, the haberdasher,
Sze., had been taxed to the utmost in the expression of the
feelings of loyalty which unquestionably pervaded the universal
population. At an early period of the day, the whole street
was thronged by pedestrians and equestrians of every descrip-
tion, whose gladsome features and joyous expressions denoted
that they anticipated the glorious proceedings of the day.
We are informed that even as early as four o'clock, the pas-
sengers were far more numerous than is usually the case
at the same hour in the afternoon ; and some thousands of
people, anxious to obtain a peep at " the admired of all
beholders" remained in the stations of which they had pos-
sessed themselves, for three or four hours. We mention this
circumstance as one of the most convincing proofs of the
general loyalty evinced throughout the day.
The morning appeared rather lowering, and a quantity of
rain fell between eight and nine o'clock ; but while it damped

I

the apparel, it neither damped the spirit nor the expression of
the loyalty of that vast assemblage. By ten o'clock, howe-
ver, the sun shone forth in his native majesty, and dissipated
at once the ominous clouds of the skies, and the fears and
forebodings of her Majesty's teal and true subjects.
Every window in the whole line of houses was, for at least
two hours previous to the arrival of the magnificent pearsantry
thrown open, and hundreds of England's fair looked forth upon
the multitudinous preparations that were making for the re-
ception of the youthful " Queen of Hearts."
At all the public offices, club-henses, palaces, &c., in Pall-
mall, scaffoldings had been erected on the grandest and most
extensive scale for the accommodation of " the people who
delighted to honour" the occasion of a virgin Queen's inau-
guration. Most of these thronged resorts possessed attendant
rooms for wines and refreshments, which were brought into
requisition to a great extent, we believe throughout the
day ; and many ware the sincere aspirations breathed forth
for the happiness, the long life, and prosperity of her who en-
grosses the attraction of all Europe at the present moment.
Myriads said in look and action if not in language—
May she live longer than we have time to tell her years,
Ever beloved, and loving may her rule be,
And when Old Time shall lead her to her end,
Goodness and she fill up one monument."
And the language and gesture of every one told of anticipa-
tions of a long, felicitous, and peaceful reign. But tongue
nor pen can tell appropriately one-fiftieth part of all that claims
notice in connection with this " Day of days." Suffice it to
say, that every thing which could poisibly express the affections
of a loyal people was called into requisition by the joyous
inhabitants. St. James's Palace, Marlborough Palace (the resi-
dence of her Majesty the Queen Dow:le-et.), Perceval's music-
shop, the Ordnance, and the Globe Office, presented attractive
spectacles. The Oxford and Cambridge Club had scaffoldings
erected capable of providing accommodation for upwards of
600 members and friends of the institution ; and the Carlton
Club afforded seats to upwards of 500 ladies and gentlemen.
The arrangements connected with the Italian Opera were of
the most superb description : and we must make honourable
mention of the taste of the respective architects who superin-
tended the erections at the Union Club, University Club,
United Service Club, Waterloo House, &c. &c.
About ten o'clock the roar of the artillery in the Park
announced to the eager expectant% along the line her Ma-
jesty's departure from Buckingham Palace; and about half
an hour afterwards the first j..'vc of the magnificent procession.
made its appeavaace. ;:t is i+,,,fites.7ble f, r.us to particularize
the reception of the various august personages who comet'.
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 apolauding, which welcomed
the arr:val 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 ! Iler re-
ception baffles every attempt at description. No sooner did
the people obtain a sight of the features of her Majesty, than
" Such a noise arose
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 faces
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 square 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 shew their loyalty to England's virgin Queen. The eree-
kions from this place to the 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 Emgland
1 " Made us gaze we knew not where,
Dazzled with beauty."
The commencement of the procession arrived at Charing
ICross at half-past ten o'clock, and this was the signal for the
ongregated multitude to exercise might and right. Hun-
reds who had patiently kept their places in the front since six
'clock were forced back, and it was with the greatest diffi-
ulty the soldiers and police could prevent incursions on the
Inc set apart for the procession. On the arrival of the carriage
f Marshal Soult, Duke of Dalmatia, opposite Drummond's
i
house, the hero of " a hundred fights" was most
nthusiastically cheered. The veteran Marshal returned the
honour with the greatest grace, and appeared highly de-
lighted with the attention paid him. The passing 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 repeatedly acknowledged tee enthusiastic
demonstrations of loyalty and respect towards her. The Duke
and Duchess of Cambridge were greatly cheered, but the
applause that v.te 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 I I o'clock, her
!Maeste in the Royal State car-
riage passed Charing Cross. At thiS moment tne - waving of
handkerchiefs from every balcony and window, and the loud
huzzas and demonstrations of_ loyalty from the congregated
thousands below, pourtraycd a scene which it is impossible for
pen to describe. Her. Majesty appeared highly delighted,
and repeatedly bowed ia the most 'condescending manner.
Upon the Royal Carriage arriving at the Admiralty, the
acclamations of the assembled multitude were renewed.

HORSE GUARDS.
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 [muses, 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 tilled with beautiful
and smiling happy face!). 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 there
was not an inch of space unoccupied, and every seat was filed
before nine o'clock. No seats were to be obtained for 2s. 6d.
this morning as was the case upon the occasion of the Corona-
tion of George Ole 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 seas much cheered rs he passed along the
line, with which he seemed to he well.pleascd.
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, arid the immense mass w
sembitcl, most enthusiastically and cordially cheered the Duke
of Sussex.

The multitude of Reformers aszernbled in the Refor.n Club
House were so enthusiastic in their demonstrations of loyalty
as to draw the special attention of our youthful Queen,
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.
Her Majesty arrived at the Abbey precisely at 32 minutes
past eleven o'clock, When sha 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 ba the police, assisted by the Guards
( Foot). The Royal Artillery Company, commanded by Col.
Cox, were on duty in Parliament-street, and loudly cheered
their Royal Colonel, the Duke of Sussex, as he passed.
THE NAVE.
The great body of the general spectators were congregated
in the Nave, along the side: of which galleries were con-
structed arranged in an ampnitheatrical farm, with ten row
of benches, rising above one another, and calculated to hold
at least 1,500 persons. Very shortly after 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
spectacle presented by this vast audience was very striking.
The diversified colours of the different dresses, Naval and
Military Officers in their respective uniforms, Clergymen in
canonical robes, Civilians 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 none were to be sren who were not well
attired)—and above all, the countless hues which marked the
'ices"' of the fair—all combined to render the scene at once
picturesque and pleasing-. The patience of these spectators
was to be severely tried by a six hours' delay ; but there were
not wanting numerous objects to divert their attention and wile
away the tedious interval. Those more distinguished personages
who had seats in the choir had of course to pass up the nave, to
reich their various destinations, and were a source ofperpetually
changing attraction. Now, a Judge of the land, with slow
and legal step, paced the floor; then, a Peer of the Realm,
arrayed in coronation robes of crimson velvet, edged with
ermine, and coronet in hand, not uofrequently with a real and
unassumed dignity of port and bearing that forcibly reminded
us of the " Knights and I3arons bold" of by-gonb ages ; and
led us for a moment to believe that
"the age of chivalry" had
not yet fled : anon, slid more attractive, came some
noble dame—her splendid flowing train spreading around
her in luxurious magnificence, her fair and lofty brow
bearing the impress of nobility, followed
perhaps by some
lovely daughters of a noble house," not unworthy of their ti-
tled ancestors ; officers, " in all the pomp and pride
tf glorious
war ;'' bishops and aldermen, pursuivants, gentlemen-at-arms
p,ssing in quick succession. Between seven and eight corn-
parties of foot guards arrived and lined the hall. Many of the
Foreign Ambassadors now arrived ; and the novelty and rich-
ness of their dresses excited great admiration, not,however,equal
to that which was awakened by the appearance of some of the
younger branches of the female aristocracy, who ass they tripped
lightly along the hail, seemed incarnations of loveliness and
grace, their beauty needing not the aid of the costly gems
that 7litterecl around their persons.
The Attorney General came in his official costume as first
Law-officer of the Crown, accompanied by his Noble consort,
the Lady Stratheden, in her robes as Peeress. One Noble

Peer came attended by a little child of such remarkable beauty
as attracted universal observation, as Page, carrying his coro-
net. About half-past nine a deer was heard outside, which
announced the arrival of some distinguished person;
and a few minutes after his Grace the Duke of Wellington
entered. His appearance wa,.; greeted by an enthusiastic shout
of applause. The Marquis of Normanby (late Earl Mulgrave)
was received in a similar manner. Shortly after ele.-en the
Special Envoys from Foreign Powers began to arrive. The
magnificence of their dreszes, and that of their suites, were
greatly admired. Marshal Scult was most cordially cheered.
Their Royal Highnesses the Duchesses of Cambridge and Kent
were enthusiastically received, especially the latter. Their
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
spectacle presented was one as gorgeous and impressive as
anything that could well be imagined. When her most Gra-
cious Majesty came within sight, the vast audience simrthane-
ously rose ; and a shout " loud as from numbers without num-
ber," rung through the venerable arches of the Abbey, end
was re-echoed by the multitudes without, testifying in ;inem-e
and heartfelt tones 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 walked
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'Ereshy, as Lord Great Chamberlain, and by his Lordship
to the Noblemen
.by whom the same were borne in the fol-
lowing order, viz.:—

Her Majeety, and the Princes and Princesses of the Blo3d
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 the Bible, when her Majesty repaired to her robing chain-
ber, constructed on the right of the platform without the en-
trance.

The Ladies of her Majesty's householl, and the officers of
the Royal household, and of the respective households of the
Princes and Princesses, to whom duties werd not assigne 1 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,
