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 Ouse
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 Alfre I. The whole metroliolis was
li'erally awakened, and presented a scene of bustle and excite-
ment rarely if ever equalled. At four o'..dock, the streets
were ro thronged with carriages and pedestrians that they were
in many places impassable, and the whole population scorned
to have been poure i cut in the direction of the Parks and of
Westminsler Abbey.
THE QUEEN'S PALACE.
Even so early as six o'clock the Green Park, the
Mall, and the enebisure in St. James's Park, were filled wit'i
persons of all ranks, and at that early hour the struggle fa-
places commenced; but those who were successful in taking.
up the best positions wei e premature in their triumph. For
soon afterwards the police took up their ground, and the latili-
te.ry also made their appearance in the cpen space, or
parade, in front of the (4:avert's Pa'ace, and by
degrees the crowds were compelled to retire within the in-
closures, and down the Mall. The sTuidrous of Life Guards
and a troop of Lan.:ers, wh ca w re to take part in the pro-
cession, together with a company of Light liilantry, were
dr,wn up in different pit is of ;he . tea, whilst the centre was
filled with General Offie r; and their Staffs. The'imposing
character of the see :e was heightened by the picturesque ap
pearance of the Yeomen of the Guard in the'r S:ate dro,:ses.
The roof of the North projection of the Palace was li-
terally covered with people, and on the top of the
triumphal arch there were stationed two sailors, of re-
markably fine figure, who were in charge of the flag-staff
upon which the Royal Sfandard was to be hoisted on'her Ma-
jesty's departure f. ow; the Palace. Ahnut eight o'clock the
tine band of the Life Gtv.e.!s struck no " God Save the
Queen," and played intervals until the commence meet
of the procession. Ihe carriages which were to cornimse the
cavalcade now took the!r places according to the order pre-
scribed—those of the Foreign Ambassadors in the seuch
walk, 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
cheered, especially Marshal Soult, who acknowledged the
compliment by repeated bows. His ENcollency, Ahmed
