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 Parliament-street there were
some very tasteful erections in front of the houses, 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 ouch heightened when they wore filled with beautiful
and smiling happy faces. Amongst all, the largest and most
tasteful was that erected by the Reform Club. It gave ac-
commodation to 600 ladies and 500 members and friends. We
understood that the Committee had resolved to afford refresh-
ments to the whole of their visitors upon this auspicious occa-
sion. In St. Margaret's Church-yard there was not an inch
of space unoccupied, and every seat was filled before nine
o'clock. No seats were to be obtained for 2s. 6d. this morn-
ing, as .was the case upon the occasion of the Coronation of
George the 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 is this country or abroad.
Ma'shal Soult was much cheered as he passed along the
line, with which he seemed to be well pleased.
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, and the immense mass as-
sembled most enthusiastically and cordially cheered the Duke
of Sussex.
The multitude of Reformers assembled in the Reform 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 bless-
ings invoked upon the head of her youthful Majesty.
Her Majesty arrived at the Abbey precisely at 32 minutes
past eleven o'clock. When she alighted, all the bands played
the National Anthem. _ _ _

The arrival was announced at that moment by the firing of
a gun.
The procession was mo.t admirably conducted, and so far
as we were able to learn, without a single accident.
The line was kept by the police, assisted by the Guards
( Foot). The Ro) al Artillery Company, commanded by Col.
Cox, were on duty in Parliament-street, and loudly cheered
their Royal Coloacl, the Duke_of Sussex, as be passed..
