OFFICE OF ORDNANCE

In Pall-mall, the Office of Ordnance was remark-
able for the splendour and. elegance of the decora- I
tions. In the centre of the building was displayed
the ancient Ordnance arms, mounted by a white rose
and the crown, above which was raised the Royal stan-
dard, which was of large dimensions, and pourtrayed
In brilliant colours; on either side were two large
shields with military trophies embraced by a scroll,
on which was inscribed Victoria Regina, ornamented
with variegated lamps. The national emblems of the
rose, shamrock, and thistle, entwined in a wreath of
laurel, completed the centre ornaments. On each
wing was a large:star in variegated lamps, surmounted
by three Union Jacks floating from the parapet. On
the gab!e walls enclosing the fore-court a military
trophy of brilliant flags, consisting ofregimental stan-
dards,was arranged with greattaste,vvhich were placed
in such a way as to harmonize with the other devices,
and to give to the whole the appearance of great mag-
nitude. The whole of the tore court was appropriated
to the construction of a spacious_, gallery for the accom-
modation or the Master- General of the Ordnance, the
Board Oilicers, and Vie Civil Employes in London.
Seats n ere also reserved for ladies connected with the
military and civil ollicers of the Departmei.t. The
gallery was constructed upon the most approved
principles, and secured by the substantial cha-
racter of the work from the possibility of
accident. On either side of this gallery was a
Dia tea , upon which were drawn up files of soldiers,
'composed of Gunners of the Artillery, and Sappers
attached to the co, ps of Royal Engineers, all " en
y,'tdtenue." The contrast in the uniform of these
that of the Sappers being scarlet, and of the
Gunners bin", added much to the effect of the
f,,up ,f,rit, giving life and aiiima•iun to this bril-

STATE PROCESSION,
FROM THE QUEEN'S PALACE TO THE WEST
GATE OF WESTMINSTER ABBEY.

At seventeen minutes past Three o'clock this morning, a
Royal salute of twenty-one guns announced that the Sun was
then rising upon the joyous day, when the Crown of these
great realms was to be placed upon the head of the most po-
pular and beloved Sovereign that has wielded the British
sceptre since the days of Alfred. The whole metropolis was
literally awakened, and presented a scene of bustle and excite-
meet rarely if ever equalled. At four o'clock, the streets
were so thronged with carriages and pedestrians that they were
in many places impassable, and the whole population seemed
to have been poured out in the direction of the Parks and of
Westminster Abbey.
THE QUEEN'S PALACE.
Even so early as six o'clock the Green Park, the
Mall, and the enclosure in St. James's Park, were filled with
persons of all ranks, and at that early hour the struggle for
places commenced ; but those who were successful in taking
up the best positions were premature in their triumph. For
soon afterwards the police took up their ground, and the mili-
tary also made their appearance in the open space, or
parade, in front of the Queen's Palace, and by
degrees the crowds were compelled to retire within the in-
closures, and down the Mall. The squadrons of Life Guards
and a troop of Lancers, which were to take part in the pro-
cession, together with a company of Light Infantry, were
drawn up in different parts of the sroa, whilst the centre was
filled with General Officers and their Staffs. The imposing
character of the scene was heightened by the picturesque ap.
pearance of the Yeomen of the Guard in their State dresses.
The roof of the North projection of the Palace was li-
terally covered with •tieuple, and on the top of the
triumphal arch there ‘,.ere stationed two sailors, of re-
markably fine figure, who were in charge of the flag-staff
upon which the Royal Standard was to be hoisted on her Ma-
jesty's departure from the Palace. About eight o'clock the
tine band of the Life Guards struck up " God Save the
Queen," and played at intervals until the commencement
of the procession. The carriages which were to compose the
cavalcade now took their pl,Tes according to the order pre-
wribed—thoge of the Foreign Ambassadors in the south
e alk, and the Royal carriages in the north walk of the Mall.
At ten o'clock the procession began to move, and as the several
illustrious foreigners were recognized, they were much
peered, especially Marsh.l Soult, who acknowledged the
camplirut.ut by repeated h0e.... His F.xcellcuey, Ahmed
