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-
tudes" perambulated the line for the purpose of picking
(set the best spot from which they could obtain a sight of 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
" Fairest of Creation, the last and best of all God's works ;"
and certainly the space between Hamilton-place and Apslcy
House presented a most beautiful and grand appearance.
At 9 o'clock, the Police commenced 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 ten 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, vs. hich_
" with slow but stately pace kept on its course,
While all tongues cried—' God save thee'—
You would have thought the very windows spake
So many greedy looks of young and old
Through casements darted their desiring eye 3—
. And that all the avails
With painted imagery had said at once—
' Jesu preserve thee."
Thus the gorgeous carriage of England's Queen moved on,
amidst thq!oud acclamations of her loyal and loving subjects,
which lure 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 end ani-
;mated description. Nearly the whole of the windows and
ihalcoraies were occupied before seven o'clock, and at eight
scarcely a scat remained vacant. Crockford's had a peculiarly
splendid appearance, from the large number of elegantly attired
ladies who adorned the spacious galleries which extended the
M hole length of the edifice. The humbler class of spectators
the footpaths had by this time assembled in considerable
nunalsers. 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 ;sine-
lion with Piccadilly, from the roll of carriage s and passage of
troops. The danger seas somewhat lessened, when at 8 o'clock
the barriers were closed to the public, remaining open n.ercly fur
those who had tickets for the Abbey. About nine o'clock the
barriers were finally closed, an 71 the assembly th.syts.gan to
settle into something like order, sfor the porposa et conve-
niently viewing the procession on its arrival. Bs half-past
dine 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 thePala-e. This
was at length heard, and about twenty minutes past
ten the first part of the cavalcade turned into St. James's-
street. A fee minutes afterwards the band arrived and struck
" God save the Qhccrt," amidst the warmest demonstra-
tions of respect. Marshal Soult on being recogideel was
/eltdly cheered, and the applause was prolonged as his ear-
-I.'"ge proceeded dorm the vreet. The Duchess of Kent met
With an enthusiastic reception, and the Duke of Sussex was
greeted with immense cheat-lug. The waving of haudkcr-
chiefs from the windows now announced the approach of her
'Majesty, and every eye was strained to catch a glimrse of the
carriage, which at length enie ed .lamea's street, amidst
the simultaneous and enthusiastic cheers of the assembled
multitude, which were olonged as her Majesty' gra-
ciously acknowledged the symptoms of loyalty which
were manifested. On pesslng Sr. James's Palace, about a
quarter befo:e 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
'lie speetatora, who were gratified a ith a 'nose perfect
view of her Majesty than they otherwise would have been,
Anil who seemed to via with each other in their denson-
tratious of attachment to her persOn. The accident
having been rearm:lied, urn procession again advanced.
PALL
This for ned one of the most inttr,nting di ,tricts in the
whole line of the gorgeous prices ion. Here the ingeimity
Ofthe arehitect, the painter, the caletenter, the h t!ies dash( r,
had been taxed to the utmost in the expression of the
feelings of loyalty which unquestionably pervaded the universal
P°Pulation. At an early period of the day, the whole street
It as thronged by pedestrians nil equetrians of every descrip-
tion, wlr,se glivlsome features an,l joyous deleted
_l,l, at they anticipated the glorieus proceediags a the day.
e are informed that even as early as four o'clock, the pas-
sengers were, far more numerous than is usu:Wy the case
at the same hour Lit the afternoon ; and some thousands of
people, anxious to obtain a pap at ‘‘ the admired of all
Beholder;" remained in the stations of which they I.ad pes-
srssed themselves, for three cr feer hours. We niebtion this
circumstance as one of the most convincing proof; of the
general loyalty evinced throughout the day.
the mos nipg appeered rather loweriog, and a quantity ci
rain
fell between eight and nine o'clock ; but while it damped

the epparel, it neither damped the spirit nor the expression of
the loyalty of that vast assemblage. By tell 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 Leal and true subjects.
Every vvincle-,v in the whole line of houses was, for at least
two hours previous to the arrival of the magnificent pea.gantry
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-houses, palaces, &c., in P.ll-
- 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 were 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 nut in language—
" May she lire longer than we have time to tell her years,
Ever beloved, and loving may her rule be,
And when Old Time ahall 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 pea 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 possibly 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 Dowager), 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 Opeia were of
the most superb dtscription ; 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 expectants along the line her Ma-
jesty's departure from Buckingham Palace; and about half
an hour afterwards the first part of the magnificent procession
made its appearance. It is impossible fir 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 Suult 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
tine arr val of the carriages of the Duchess of Kent and her
attendants, and the Duke of SUSSCK and attendants, were of
the most rapturous description. But the Queen ! Her 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, c:oats,
(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.
