When the Prince's party commenced their repast,
thole visitors who had been ahnitted to the ibor of
the N.rshan-ge also retired so the other recesses, where
tables were prwared, and partook of refreshment.
Lord John Russell and Sir R. Peel found themselves
at the same table. _ _

Atter about a quarter of an hour, the Prince
having made a communication to his Lordship,
[ln concluding our report of the proceedings, we
have to complain that ncr ticket was supplied to The
SUN to enable our reporter to he present in the inte-
rior of the Exchange. With great difficulty the gen-
4eman deputed to perform the task for The
made his way to the entrance for visitors,
.vhere he encountered an impertinent person who
Juld neither permit a note or card to be sent in to
ailr. Wood, the chairman, which was the more
remarkable, since he showed this person a note from
the Lord Mayor to Mr. Wood, requesting the
reporter of The Sun to be admitted. Indeed, he
pushed him away. Through the kindness of a Com-
nion Councilman our reporter was enabled to send
hi a note to Mr. Wood, who immediately admitted
him.]
RETURN OF THE PROCESSION.

The Royal party, instead of returning in the state
barge, re-embarked on board the Fairy yacht, and
prop Ceded to Whitehall at a slow pace, followed
by the barges and boats in the same order in
which.F:they went to the City. The Prince
Consort, and the two Royal children remained on
deck, ind the cheers with which they were received
as they p§ssed along the river were loud, long, and
enthusietic. Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence commanded
the yacht, and as it steamed along with the Union
Jack floating from behind, and the Royal Standard
flying from a mast in the centre, it had a very pretty
and interesting appearance. On reaching Whitehall it
was brought to anchor, and perhaps one of the neatest
little gigs ever seen, painted in light blue, and
manned by stalwart sailors with blue striped flannel
shirts and small nautical caps, came alongside to land
the distinguished paSsenffers who were on board.
Lord Adolphus, who throughout the day seemed
quite in his element, at once jumped in to take charge
of the rudder, and the steps of the Fairy being let down,
the royal party, together with the Duke ofNorfolk and
Lady Lyttelton, were soon safely seated below. The
royal standard was then taken from the Fairy,
and placed in the prow of th'rgig, two of the
seamen standing up to support it. The ap-
proach of the boat to the shore was the
signal fur a loud burst of applause from the
spectators on all the boats moored in the neighbour-
hood, and it was continued until a safe landing had
been effected. The same arrangements which we
mentioned on the embarkation were observed again—
Prince Albert alighted first, and taking the Prince in
one hand, and the Princess in the other, proceeded to
the royal carriage, bowing repeatedly and most affably
to the ladies and gentlemen who had the good
fortune to be allowed to assemble on the
stairs. Both of the illustrious children evinced by
their laughing and happy faces that they bad been
highly delighted. The weather being by this time
somewhat cooler, the Prince of Wales wore a small
overcoat or palet )t, and his royal sister a light-
coloured tartan cloak.

On the approach of the royal yacht the band sta-
tioned in the yard struck up some enlivening airs,
and continued to play until the departure of the
royal carriages.
The procession having been formed in the same
erder as it was on leaving Buckingham Palace, left
Whitehall shortly after half-past three o'clock,
and proceeded across Parliament street, through the
Hone Guards and up the Mall, in St. James's
Pack, to the Palace. The Prince and his illus-
trious children were most enthusiastically cheered
the whole way. The august party arrived at the
Palace about twenty minutes before four o'clock,
and about ton minutes past that hour proceeded in
three private carriages to the Paddington station, on
the:r return to Windsor.
Thus has conclucW an event which will be recorded
imperishcanly in history in letters of gold—an event
in which the Sovereign of a mighty nation, though
unfortunately absent from indisposition, together
with her august Consort, and her illustrious Children
have alike displayed the utmost anxiety for
the furtherance and support of commercial en-
terprise, to which in a great measure England
owes her present position among the nations of Eu-
rope, and i 9, undoubtedly, indebted for the prestige
of her great name over the civilized and habitable
globe.

We cannot conclude our account without tendering
our best thanks to the Commissioners, the superin-
tendents, inspectors, and every member of the metro-
p li,an police force, fur their kindness and urbanity
and the excellent arrangements made by them
for the accommodation and convenience of
the gentlemen of the press. Their arrangements
and conduct, we feel compelled to say, contrasted
most forcibly with the chaotic confusion produced in
the City by the misdirection of the mismanaging
committee of the Common Council.
