Ills MAJESTY'S DRAWING-ROOM.

Yesterday • this splendid scone took place at
St. James l'alace. The arrangements were on the most superb
and magnificent scale, and the attendance of the Nobility was '
as great, if not 'greatter, than upon any.. former occasion. A •
party of the Horse Guards (Flues) and of the Foot Guards
wsre on duty at the rear of the Palace at an early hour, and
tlear,,excellent bands, which performed altei-nately severatpo-
nalar44idsasaartial airs, gave the greatest satisfaction. Tire, Ca-
valry we're altsoeplaarinna. each side of Pall-mall A consider- •
able, time before the' carripany began to arrive, a number of
periviiia collected around the Palace-gates. In the Palace-yard
we observed Sir Richard Birnie active in preserving the peace
assisted by the ofliOens of the Bow-street establishment. The
clietnountetl patrole were prinpally . placed outside, and cer-
tainly behaved in a respectful manner to every one • but we
cannot avoid remarking upon the gross and unexampled con-
duct ..
of some parochial constables, who treated several respect- -
able and well dressed Persons with the greatest contumely and •
Violence. With extreme regret we observed elderly respectable ~
men, accompanied., by females, and . whose appearance would
have claimed respect, pushed 'into the road almost under the
horses' feet. The Marshalinen who attended about the Palace
appelered innew uniforms, as did also the Under Porters.— •
The Yeomen of the Guard, of whom there was a very nume-
rous assemblage, appeared in new and very splendid dresses,
with a profusion of ruffils roses made of various coloured rib-
bons, scarlet stockings, and gauntlet gloves, similar to. thoaa,
worn on the King's oronation. About half-past 12 o'clock
Mr. Marsh, of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, went over the
State Rooms, arid gave the neeessary directions to the Officers
of the Court. These rooms have undergone several alterations
since last year; some additional pictures have been added to
the ball-room ; the candelabras have been removed to the oppoa
site side where they formerly stood; and, upon the whole, the
improvements greatly contribute to the splendour of the-
apartments. The Yeomen •of the Guard lined the Guard--
roam, and were stationed at various placate leading to the
State -Rooms. The, llonottrable Corps -of Gentlemen Pen
sinners appeared in their novel and costly Coronation uniforms.
These Gentlemen formed an avenue to the Drawing Rooana
A .short time before one o'clock; some of the Company began
to arrive. At that moment Prince George, the son of the palter
and Duchess- of Cambridge was hrbught into the Palace, by
one of •the Gentlemen in attendance on the Royal Dake, aid •
conducted through the State Rooms. fie appeared highly de-
lighted with the magnificence of the spacious rooms, and the '
splendour of' the decorations; together with the-brilliancy of
the dresses of the company there tesenibled, the effect of
which was considerably heirsinened by its beiiig observed as a
Collar Day, the Knightsnf the different Ordershvearing their
splendid collars. We omitted :toned-cc' above, that since last
year seats in abundance have beep placed in the gallery and
avenues fir the accommodation of the•campany while waiting
for their carriages, Sec.—The Duke of York, Prince Leopold.
and the Duchess of Kent came in state. The Duke of York
.was attended by Colonel Cooke and another Gentleman ; Prince
Leopold was attended by Sir R. Gardiner and Sir-H. Seaton ;
the Duchess of Kent was attended by Captain Conroy, General
Wetherell, and the Baroness de. Spaitlasa-On ,the 'arrival of
their Royal Highnesses, they were received in the Court-yard,
by the band playing " God save. the King." The Princess
eodore accompanied her Royal Mother the Duchess of Kent.
The King Went _to the Palace pa Wednesday nights where Ina

State rotans.--About half-past one o'clock, the Archbishop a
