Saxe-Gotha) arrived at Greenwich, attended by several ladies
of her brother's Court, and her own retinue; and was conducted
in one of his Majesty's (George II.) coaches to the Queen's
house in the Park, amidst the acclamations of thousands of
spectators. Her Highness seemed highly delighted with the
joy the people expessed at her arrival, and bad the goodness to
show herself for above half an hour from the gallery. The
Prince of Wales came to pay her a visit ; and their Majesties, the
Duke (Prince William Augustus, of Cumberland) and Prin-

came in his Majesty's coach from Greenwich to Lambeth,
crossed the water at Lambeth, and was brought from White-
hall to St. James's in the Queen's chair, where was a nume-

Wales received her at the garden door ; and upon her sinking
on her knee to kiss his hand, he affectionately rased her, up
and twice saluted her. His Royal Highness led her up stairs
to their Majesties' apartments, where, presenting her to the
King, her Highness fell on her knee to kiss his hand, but was
gently taken up and saluted by him. Her Highness was
then presented to the Queen, in like manner, and after-
wards to the Duke and Princesses, who congratulated
her on her arrival. Her Highness dined with the
Prince of Wales and the Princesses. At eight, the pro-
cession began to proceed to the chapel, and the join-

Duke, and conducted by the Duke of Grafton, Lord
Chamberlain, and Lord Hervey, Vice-Chamberlain, and at-
tended by the Countess of Effingham and other ladies of her
Household. The marriage service was read by the Bishop of
London, Dean of the Chapel ; and, after the same was over, a
