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 out
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 Apsley-
house presented a most beautiful and grand apppearance.
At 9 o'clock, the police commenced clearing the line, and
by
half-past 9 the road was in perfect order for the procession.
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 proal array"
proceeded. At a quarter past ten a salute was heard an-
nouncing that her Majesty had left the Polace, 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, which_
" With slow but stately pace kept on its course,
While all tongues cried—' God save thee'—
You would have thought the very windows peke
So many greedy looks of young and old
• Through casements darted their desiring eyes—
And that all the nails
With painted imagery had said at once—
`Jesu preserve thee.'"
Thus the gorgeous carriage of England's Queen moved on,
amidst the loud acclamations of her loyal and loving subjects,
which her 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 and ani-
enated description. Nearly the whole of the windows and
balconies were occupied before seven o'clock, and at eight
scarcely a seat remained vacant. Crockford's had a peculiarly
splendid appearance, from the large number of elegantly at-
tired ladies who adorned the spacious galleries which extended
the whole length of the edifice. The humbler class of specta-
tors on the footpatbs had by this time assembled in considerable
numbers, and continued to augment every moment ; and in-
numerable were the "hair-breadth escapes" of the pedestrians
in attempting to cross the street, particularly at its junc-
tion with Piccadilly, from the roll of carriages and passage of
troops. The danger was somewhat lessened, when at 8 o'clock
the barriers were closed to the public, remaining open merely for
those who had tickets for the Abbey. About nine o'clock the
barriers were finally closed, and the assembly then began to
settle into something like order, for the purpose of corpse-
- niently viewing the procession on its arrival. By half-past
nine 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 the Palace. This
was at length heard, arid about twenty minutes past
ten the first part of the cavalcade turned into St. James's-
street. A few minutes afterwards the band arrived and struck
up " God save the Queen," amidst the warmest demonstra-
tions of respect. Marshal Soult on being recognized was
loudly cheered, and the applause was prolonged as his car-
riage proceeded down the street. The Duchess of Kent met
with an enthusiastic reception, and the Duke of Sussex was
ge eeeeted with immense cheering. The waving of handker-
fs from the windows now announced the approach of her
Carriage, which at length entered St. James's-street, amidst
the
shnultaneous and enthusiastic cheers of the assembled
acknovvleeti
multitude, Which were prolonged as her Majesty graciously
On pass; ged the symptoms of loyalty which were manifested.

the most interesting districts in the
of the architect,'whole lie of therlge oforg . eous procession
ca Hero the ingenuity
the painter, the rpenter, the haberdasher,
&c., had been taxed to the utmost
in the 'expression of the
feelings of loyalty which unquestionably pervaded the universal
population. At an early period of the day, the whole street
was thronged by pedestrians and equestrians of every descrip.
tion, whose gladsome features and joyous expressions denoted
that they anticipated the glorious proceedings of the day.
We are informed that even as early as four o'clock, the pas-
sengers were far more numerous than is usually the case
at the same hour in the afternoon ; and some thousands of
people, anxious to obtain a peep at " the admired of all
beholders" remained in the stations of which they had pos-
sessed themselves, for three or four hours. We mention this
circumstance as one of the most convincing proofs of the
general loyalty evinced throughout the day.
The morning appeared rather lowering, and a quantity of
rain fell between eight and nine o'clock ; but while it damped

the apparel, it neither damped the spirit nor the expression of
the loyalty of that vast assemblage. By ten o'clock, however,
the sun shone forth in his native majesty, and dissipated at
once the ominous clouds of the skies, and the fears and foro-
bodings of her Majesty's leal and true subjects.
Every, window in the whole line of ho‘uses was, for at least
two hours previous to the arrival of the magnificent pageantry
thrown open, and hundreds of England's fair looked forth
upon the multidinous preparations that were making for the
reception of the youthful " Queen of Hearts."
At all the public offices, club-houses, palaces, &c., in Pall-
mall, scaffoldings had been erected on Le 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 not in language—
" May she live longer than we have time to tell her years,
Ever belol 0/, and loving may her rule be,
And when Old Time shall 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 pen 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
residence of her Majesty the Qceen 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 aff3rded seats to upwards of 500 ladies and
gentlemen. The arrangements connected with the Italian
Opera were of the most superb description ; and we must make
honourable mention of the taste of the respective architects who
superintended the erections at the Union Club; University
Club, United Service Club, Waterloo House, &c. &c.
,A.Agont ten o'clock the roar of the artillety in tire Park. an-
unced to the eager expectants along the line,Ther Majesty's: departure from Buckingham Palace ; and about half an
hour afterwards, the flint part of the magnificent procession
made its appearance. It is impossible for, 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 Soult met with
the mist rapturous gratulation& 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
the arrival of the carriages of the Duchess of Kent and her
attendants, and the Duke of Sussex and attendants, were of
the most rapturous descriptioh. But the Queen ! Her recep.
tion 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, cloaks,
(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.
CHARING-CROSS.

.... _
As early as six o'clock -the space opposite Charing-
cross and Trafalgar-square was crowded to excess by
perstms of every rank and description, from the rich-citizen
to the poor mechanic, all anxious to catch a glimpse of, and to
shew their loyalty to England's virgin Queen. The erections
from this place to the Horse Guards are many of them taste-
ful in the extreme, especially at the Admiralty, where the ac-
commodation for the ladies of the various officers of that depart-
ment are very extensive. Along the whole of this line the
smiling and.lovely faces of the beauty of England
Made us gaze we knew not where,
Dazzled with beauty."
The commencement of the procession arrived at Charing
Cross at half-past 'ten o'clock, and this was the signal for the
congregated multitude to exercise might and right. Hun-
dreds who had patiently kept their places 'in the front since six
o'clock were forced back, and it was with the greatest diffi-
culty the soldiers and police could prevent incursions on the
line set apart for the procession. On the arrival of the carriage
of -Marshal Soult, Duke of Dalmatia, opposite Drummond's
banking house, the hero of " a hundred fights" was most
enthusiastically cheered. The veteran Marshal returned the
honour with the greatest grace, and appeared highly de-
lighted with the attention paid him. The passing of the
Duchess of Kent's carriage was the signal for another rush,
and we do firmly believe, that but for the police, the crowd
would have carried their loyalty so far as to have forced their
hands into the Royal carriage, in order to demonstrate
their feelings by shaking hands with the mother of their
beloved Queen. Her Royal Highness appeared- highly
delighted, and repeatedly acknowledged the enthusiastic de-
monstrations of loyalty and respect towards her. The Duke
and Duchess of Cambridge were greatly cheered, but the
anlalturt,that wa conferiod upon the, Duke of Sussex was
beyond description ; it must have been most grateful to his
Royal Highness, who appeared greatly affected. At ten
minutes past 11 o'clock, her Majesty in the Royal State car-
riage passed Charing-cross. At this moment the waving of
handkerchiefs from every balcony and window, and the loud
buzzes and demonstrations of loyalty from the congregated
theusands below, pourtrayed a scene which it is impossible for
pen to describe. Her Majesty appeared highly delighted, and
repeatedly bowed in the most condescending manner. Upon
the Royal Carriage arriving at the Adir;ralty, the acclama-
tions of the assembled multitude were renewed.
