BUCKINGHAM PALACE.

The Prince and his two august Children arrived
at Buckingham Palace at a quirter before eleven
o'clock; and here the party who had expected the
Queen were doomed to disappointment, as the
Prince was only accompanied by the Princess Royal
and the Prince of Wales. Among the equipages that
passed the Palace on their way to Whitehall, we
noticed those of the Marquis of Cholmondely, General
Brown, the Deputy-Adjutant Lieutenant, the Duke
of Rutland, Lord and Lady Russell and their two
daughters, Lord Foley, Sir A. Howard, and the Duke
of Wellington. The Noble Duke was in his old state
carriage, he was dressed in a- Field-Marshal's uni-
form, and appeared in good health and spirits. At
half-past eleven o'clock a guard of honour, composed
of a detachment of the lst Life Guards, arrived,
and took up their station outside the garden-
rte. This detachment was quickly followed
'Y a Posse of the A division of police, under the
command of Superintendent Russell.
h Shortly before twelve o'clock a second guard of
G°"nr, consisting of a detachment of the Fusilier
it
.tiar,dB) arrived at the Palace, and took their station
whin
the garden gate.
The band of the regiment shortly followed and
Played several airs in the garden.
tir At twelve o'clock three royal carriages arrived at
ho Palace. The first drawn by two cream-coloured
,°rses, the second by two noble black ones, and the
'ir.d by two splendid bays. Immediately on their
L
a_hrrival they entered at the garden-gate, in order to
eceive their royal and distinguished intended occu•
Pants.
At a quarter past twelve o'clock the band struck
turgod save the Queeo,"and immediately afterwards
l'oyal party proceeded to Whitehall in the follow-
ing Order :—.
A detachment of the Life Guards.

The Fairy, Admiralty steam-vessel, was moored out
in the river, as was also the Lord Mayor's state barge,
in which were seated the civic functionaries. A
considerable number of small craft were also an-
chored and fastened together between Westminster
and the Suspension 13ridges, each boat displaying
royal standards, union jacks, and innumerable descrip-
tions of other .flags.
At a quarter past twelve the officers of the Ad-
miralty got into their barge, and took up a position
in the centre •of the river.

Precisely at the half-hour the striking up of " God
Save the Queen" announced the arrival of the Royal
party. The company assembled on the stairs imme-
diately uncovered. Prince Albert with the two

Royal chili lren having alighted from the carriage
which conveyed them from Buckingham Palace, at
once proceeded to the Royal barge, holding the
Prince of 'Wales by one hand and the Princess

Royal by the other, and bowing repeatedly on the

way. The sweet and gentle expression of the two

illustrious children could not but strike the most in-
different obsezvar, and draw from him an exclama-

tion of his admiration. They were dressed in

extremely plain attire—the Prince in a kind of
,allor's: dress, 'consisting of blue jacket, white waist-

coat and trot users, and Byronic collar; the Princess
Royal in a pi nk and drawn-silk bonnet, a black velvet

pelisse, and a snort dress of light material, having
upon it amu ill green pattern. She wore light co.

Loured boots.

Prince Al'ui2rt shook hands with Lord John Pus-
eel and Sir George Grey, previous to embarking,

and the Roy children aid the same also, They both

seemed to with astonishment upon the singular
and exciting ticene that the river presented, novel and

entirely original, as it must be, to their yet unexpe-

rienced mind s..

The Royall -party, who were accompanied by Lady
Littleton and. some officers of the household, having

embarked, the bargemen and the Tailors in

the different gigs and launches set up n loud cheer,
which was re- echoed by the people assembled on the

two bridges, :And the wharfs on each side of the river.
Lord J. R;v.ssell and Sir George Grey immediately
afterwards ti )k up their position in the royal shallop,
and the oth( a boats having received their occupants,
the processior was formed as follows:
