THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 1849.

A Ltachment of the Life Guards.
Th;! Master of the Horse in a roy'_J state carriage,
drawn by two black horses.
Anoth(ir royal state wtriiage, drawn by two bay
it-,rse,,, containing the Dowager Lady Lyttleton and
several meatbers of the R,lyal Househeld ; and
A third royal state carriage, in which were his
Royal Flightless Prince Albert, who was dressed in a
Field-Matshal's uniform, her Royal nighties's the
Princess Royal, who wore a pink sick drawn
bonnet and blue dress; his Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales, who wore a blue yd.
vet sailor's jacket, with gold naval buttons and
white waistcoat and trousers, and one of the Prince's
Equerries. The Piincess Royal, who sat on the
left hand of her Royal Father, kept looking out of
the winnow, and appeared to enjoy the scene before
her. The Prince of Wales sat opposite his august
parent, but did not scem to take the interest or
appear so lively as his royal sister. The last carriage
was followed by another detachment of the Life

Guards.
The procession then proceeded at a rapid rate up the
Mall into St. James's Park, and through the Horse
Guards to Whitehall.
The royal party were most enthusiastically cheered
the whole way by an immense crowd of most re-
spectably-dressed persons, and repeatedly bowed their
acknowledgments. General regret, however, was
expressed at the absence of her IViajeity and its
cause.

race ranging along the front of the river, had been
i,sued to the offier:rs of the respective dopartmmts
fur themsives and friends. Indeed from Westminster-
bridge to the Towe: of London, on each side Gf the
river, bu'c, more especially on the City side, the
wharfs, jetties, windows, steps, terraces, roofs,
avenues, streets, &c., as also the decks of steamers,

barges and boats, from the water's edge to the line of
proce,,,sion, and the bridges and piers, were densely
crowded with the tceming population of this mighty

ietrupol is.

THE DISE KBARKATION.
Of all the scenes we have ever witnessed that
which occurred to-day on the Custom House
Quay is the most amusing and ridiculous.
The arrangements for the disembatkation were of
the most faulty and defective nature. True, the
quay itself and the many approaches to it were
elaborately and tastefully fitted up, but
neither the. police nor those who had
the immediate control of the ceremonies observed
anything like order or civility, and the scene, though
gorgeous and imposing, was ever and anon disturbed
ith noisy altercations between parties who had
been favoured with tickets, but could not be accom-
modated with seats, and busy bewildered officials.
It was with the utmost difficulty that we secured a
standing place at al!. Our card of admission
was treated with derision, and neither entreaties nor
persuasion commanded respect from the military
police, or the civic functionariei. At length, however,
our importunities becoming rather troublesome to
the individual who had charge of the main
entrance, we were favoured with a back seat in the
vicinity of Billingsgate, shut out from the river, and
where nothing could be seen, and where we were kept
a prisoner till the Prince and the procession had passed
into the Exchange. "Thank God," we mentally
jaculated, "it is over at last, now we may have a
chance of escaping from a hole-and-corner posi-
tion, and taking a hurried view of the river." But
how sadly were we mistaken; an order was given

that no one was to be allowed to leave their seats till
the procession had returned ; and again we
had fruitlessly to exercise the humble powers
of persuasion we are gifted with to con-
vince a policeman and a private in the
Artillery Company, of the absurdity of keeping us
imprisoned when we ought to be penning a feeble
description of what had been going forward. Alas, it
was all to no purpose, the policemen said " them
is my orders, and the ,nillintarics too, you can't stir,"
and at the risk of being arrested or breaking our
necks, or drowning, we forced our way through the
crowd, scaled a wall, dropped into a boat, and then,
with the aid of a boatman, effected a landing on
Nicholson's Wharf.

The river, of which we could obtain only
an occasional glimpse, was literally bristling
with craft of every conceivable size and
description, all swarming with men, women,
and children attired in the gayest fashions of
the day. To the westward, London bridge could
he seen peering up above the masts of vessels,
thronged of course from end to end ; while
the tops of the buildings on either side
of the Thames as far as the eye could reach were
alive with eager spectators. On the quay, besides the
band of the Grenadier Guards, there were several
others equally numerous and efficient, and their
splendid performances served well to relieve
the tedium of the mornirg. The distance from
the landing stairs to the great entrance to the
Exchange was covered hi with illuminated, glazed
calico, gateries being fitted up on each side
for the accommodation of those who were fortunate
enough to obtain tickets, and were earliest on the
ground ; of course every available spot from
which even a glance at the illustrious visi-
tors could be secured was occupied. The
passage was guarded by the Royal Artillery,
Company, who, although under the command of
Captain Fitzroy, M.P., handled their arms and exe-
cuted their evolutions in a somewhat clumsy manner,
to the no small amusement of the ladies, while files of
the Grenadier Guards were stationed immediately on
tile quay, and surrounding the landing-
ylaee, which had been erected for the
occasion, and which was gaily decorated with banners,
shrubs, and flowers.
Shortly before one o'clock the echo of distant
shouts came looming through the fine clear
morning air,
.announcing the approach of
the pageant ; and as the first boat shot
through the centre arch of the bridge, a salute
of ordnance thundered forth, completely stifling the
loyal and enthusiastic shouts of the populace.
Eventually all the vessels engaged in the procession
pulled up to the landing punt, and the Prince Consort,
the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal
were handed on shore, and received by the
Corporation of the City, headed by the Right
Honourable the Recorder, the Duke of Cam-
bridge, the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Angle-
sea, the Marquia of Clanricarde, Lord Campbell, the
Right Hon. Mr. Goulburn, and Lord Dudley Stuart,
who had arrived upon the spot a few minutes previ-
ously. Immediately upon the Prince disembarking a
flourish of trumpets was sounded, and the band
struck up the National Anthem. The order of pro-
cession was then formed as follows :
City Marshals.
Common Council.
Sheriffs.
Aldermen.
The Illustrious Visitors, surrounded by the great
Officers of State.
As the illustrious party passed through the covered
passage they were welcomed with loud huzzas and
reiterated cries of " Long Live the Queen,"
which the Prince ackowledged with his
well-known ease and grace. lie held the
Princess Royal with her right hand, and the Prince of
\Vales with his left. The royal children were attended
by Lady Lyttleton. Scarcely had the procession dis-
appeared than the shouts of welcome were renewed, and
tall portly gentleman, attired in the uniform of a
deputy-lieutenant, was seen advancing in the distance.
Ns he approached near to us we recognized in him
Sir Robert Peel. The Right Hon. Baronet
who was alone, smiled and bowed to the gay company
he was passing through, and seemed highly delighted
with the reception they gave him.
The round tent at the landing•place is 65 feet
diameter. There are 400 feet of marquee covering,
36 feet in width, leading from the landing-plar:e to
Thames street. ACIOS3 Thames street to the Coal
Exchange there are 150 feet of maiquee tenting, 50
feet wide : the whole lined whh scarlet and white
drapery. The round tent is decorated inside with
trophies and flags. The whole erected by Mr. B.
Edgington, Duke-street, Borough.
THE INTERIOR OF THE COAL-EXCHANGE.
The interior of the Coal-Exchange presented a
,pectacie seldom or never perhaps witnessed in the
city of London. In no building in the me-
tropolis could a more imposing effect be ob-
tained by the congregation of beauty, rank, und
fashion, or one more gratifying to those
who formed the throng, than the Coal-Exchange
honoured by the presence of royalty to-day. Its
circular shape, moderate size, and spacious galleries,
running up to the very summit of the edifice—up to
the very dome—and the taste and elegance of the
interior of the edifice itself, and the full view which
may be obtained from every part of it, may be set
down as the cause of this. Indeed your Opera-house
and your ordinary theatre sink into the shade in
comparison with the perfect panorama which the
wandering gaze of the spectator may feast upon. But
when the spacious floor was thronged with hundreds
of beautiful and splendidly attired city dames,
wearing handsome and chaste head-dresses (and
emong whom, we may remark, the beautiful brocade
of ancient days resusciated with a splendour which
was not its wont, predominated), and each tier
thronged, though not inconveniently so, with ladies,
Common Councilmen, and well_dressed gentlemen,
the scene was perfection itself.
But as the time wore on, for long before ten o'clock
the interior of the edifice presented the scene we have
so faintly endeavoured to pourtray, the picture grew
in beauty, like a dull landscape under the cheering
influence of the sun. The Aldermen in their furred
gowns came in one by one, with their dames
and " ladies byte,"' and took up their position on
the floor, which had been] railed off, so as
to present a', perfect amphitheatre. Then came the
City guard of bononr,; composed of eflicers of the
City Artillery, who took up their position at the

northern door, whose martial appenraica, soldier-
like attitude, and silver epr..ulats, lent a pretty echur
to the scene.

Inum,diately oi,posite the entrance., and on the
eastern side of the Exchange, were placed three
chairs, magnificently decorated and lined with crim,
son velvet, on a :lightly-raised dais of crimson velvet
ch:th. That to the right Nvai surmounted by the
Prince of Wales's feathers, a magnificent plume
truly, with the motto " Ich dien" round the festoon
that bound them. The back ground was lined with
fluted white satin, and the whole was surmounted by
a splendid canopy of flowing curtains of crimson
velvet, over which was placed a gold crown and
cushion.

Shortly before 12 o'clock Lord Campbell, attired
in a very imposing dress of black velvet, entered the
arena, and was immediately introduced to the Lady
Mayoress (Mrs. Hill), whose imposing appearance was
the theme of much admiration. Her Ladyship wore a
dress of rich satin brocade, with light green flowers
on a white ground, a handsome white spotted ermine
mantle, and a head-dress simply composed of a tiara
of diamonds, with a necklace and stomacher of the
same superb richness.
At 12 o'clock the Duke of Wellington entered the
Exchange, and was received with much applause,
which the gallant veteran gracefully acknowledged.
His Grace wore the uniform of a Field-Marshal, and
looked in as good health as in spirits.
The Noble Duke was immediately followed by the
Duke of Cambridge, who was heartily received, the
Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Devon, and by a
number of the members of the corps diplomatique.
A body guard of officers of the horse Guards here
took up their stations round the arena, each bearing
a spear, and also on the first tier, on which had been
erected a marble bust of the Queen.

In one of the compartments, on the second tier,
was stationed the band of the Horse Guards, which
during the morning enlivened the tedium consequent
upon waiting by many beautiful airs.
In the different recesses attached to each tier, in-
tended for: the exhibition of specimens of the different
kinds of coal, an excellent cold collation had been
laid for the visitors, who had strict injunctions given
to them not to eat or sup until the Prince had passed
into his shallop—a request we may, perhaps unne-
cessarily, observe. that was most religiously complied
with.
In one of the recesses attached to the floor,
shrouded from the public gaze by a gauze
curtain, a banquet of regal splendour had
been prepared for the royal party, and with
respect to the feast and its decorations, the following
particulars will be interesting :
Of the wines we may remark that the sherry
placed on the royal table was of the same vintage and
age as was sent to Lord Nelson when on board the
Victory, a week previous to the celebrated battle of
Trafalgar—some exquisite pale sherry,; forty years
old.

The wine for the Prince of Wales was a f)eculiar
Paxarete, and is part of the wine presented to the
younger branches of the Royal Family in Spain last
month, on their visit to the vineyards of M. Domecq
to witness the process of making the wines.
The hock was from the Jubannesherg vineyards,
probably the last cf the class—as it has long ceased,
we were told, to be quoted amongst the wines now
obtainable from Prince Metternich's stores.

The wine gUsses, which were made for the occa-
sion, were of the shape of the delicate blossom of the
Abutolom Striatum; and the leaves and flowers en•
graved on the bowl form a wreath round the Royal
Crown and City arms. The napkins were of exqui-
site damask, embroidered with the arms of the city
of London, and edged with costly antique point lace,
The d'oleys were of royal purple velvet, with
emblematical embroidery, and trimmed with gold
lace.

The dessert plates, which were completed in an
incredibly short space of time, were painted in com-
partments with the royal crown, the Prince of Wales's
feathers, with the words " Ich dien," and represent,
ing fossil remains as found in coal stratum.
The whole of the service at the royal table was
of superb gold. The dessert knives were particularly
bnutifful and elegant.
The hills of fare were printed on white satin, and
were of beautiful execution and design, from De la
Rue's establishment.

The whole of the gorgeous display was ar-
ranged by the Messrs. Staples, of the Albion, and re-
flected the highest credit on their taste and judgment.
At twenty minutes to 1 o'clock the trumpets of the
Heralds and the applause without announced the
arrival of the Royal pageant.
First entered the Sheriffs in their state robes, the
Aldermen who have not passed the chair, the Lord
Mayor also in his state robes, hearing the City
sword, and immediately after his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, attired as a Field-Marshal, and
leading the Prince of Wales and the Princess
Royal by either hand. The applause at this in-
teresting point echoed and re echoed through-
out the building. The Prince advanced towards the
throne, followed by the officers of State and the
members of the household, among whom we observed
the Duke of Norfolk, Lord Lyttelton, Lord John
Russell, Sir George Grey, the Marquis of Breadal-
bane, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Lord Paget, the
Marquis of Anglesey, Lord Marcus Hill, Earl of
Fortescue, the First Lord of the Admilalty, Admiral
Dundas, Mr. Parker, Mr. Hawes, &c. (all in official
costume).
The Prince of Wales was attired in a blue sailor's
jacket and a white waistcoat and trousers, with a
turned-over collar. The young Prince looked extremely
well, and as much like a juvenile sailor as the most
fastidious admiral in the fleet could wish.
The Princess Royal wore a black velvet visite, a
light striped green silk dress, and a light pink satin
bonnet.
The Lord Mayor and the Recorder, on an intima-
tion from the Marquis of Breadalbane, then advanced
towards the Prince, and the Recorder, in an emphatic
tone, read an address, which, on its conclusion, was
hunded by the Lord Mayor to the Prince, who gra-
ciously received the same, and having handed it to
Sir George Grey, read a suitable address, which was
much applauded.
The Lord Mayor then introduced Mr. Wood, the
mover, and Mr. Adkins, the seconder of the address,
with whom the Prince was pleased to converse ; then
the Sheriffs, and Mr.. Banning, the architect of the
building. The Prince, with the young Prince and
Princess, retired to an ante-room on the first tier,
where a number of City celebrities ' were introduced
to the Prince and the royal children. The little Prince,
we may remark, seemed quite to enter into tl e
spirit and commotion of the scene—the Princess Royz I
seemed a little abashed. Both on their arrival shook
hands with their uncle the Duke of Cambridge, and
when the Prince had replied, he went up to the Duke
of Wellington, and shook him heartily by the hand.
During the absence of the royal guests the carpet
was removed from the floor, in order that the flooring,
which is of polished oak tastefully fashioned, might be
exhibited. It contains no less than 4,000 pieces of
various kinds and qualities, namely, black ebony,
black oak, and common red English oak, white holly,
mahogany, American elm, red and white walnut, and
mulberry. The wood has undergone the patent
dessicating process, by Messrs. Davidson and Sym-
-1 ington. The work was much admired.
After a lapse of some few minutes, the Prince again
appeared, and proceeded with the Lord Mayor and
Lady Mayoress into the apartment set apart for his
reception, where he partook of the splendid luncheon
provided for him. The royal children were entertained
in another apartment abutting from the first tier.
The Lord Mayor shortly came forth, and with the
permission of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, in
the name of the Queen, proposed the following
toasts, which were warmly responded to :--." The
health cf our Most Gracious Majesty the Queen,"
" The health of the Queen Dowager," " The health of
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of
Wales, the Princess Royal, and the rest of the Royal
Family," " Prosperity to the City of London."
Ihe Prince and suite left shortly before three for
Whitehall, being loudly cheered on their departure.
[ln concluding our report of the proceedings, we
have to complain that no ticket was supplied to The
Sun, to enable our reporter to be present in the inte-
rior of the Exchange. With great difficulty the gen.
tleman deputed to perform the task for The
Sun made his way to the entrance for visitors,
where lie encountered an impertinent person who

would neithor permit a note or card to be sent in to
Mr. Wood, the c:h,..irman, the more
remadlablo, since he show( d this person a note from
the Lord I‘Lyor to Mr. Wool, regunting the
reporter of The Sun to be admitted. Indeed, he
pushed him away. Through the kindness of a Com-
mon Gmncihnan our reporter was enabled to send
in a note to Mr. Wood, who immediately admitted
him.l

lasses have been made at 15s 61 to 163, patent 16s 6d to
