CONFIRMATION of PRINCE GEORGE

OF CAMBRIDGE.

(From the TVindsor Express of Saturday.)

This was the day fixed upon for the confirmation of his
Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, in St. George's
Chapel, and accordingly preparations had been made for the
reception of their Majesties and those members of the Royal
Family and their distinguished attendants who had signified
their intention to be present. The arrangements were all
made under the special directions of the King, who, with the
Dean of Windsor and the Commanding Officer of the two
regiments stationed here, had several times during the week
visited the Chapel with the object of directing what was ne-
cessary to be done. All the temporary fittings up were in-
trusted to Mr. Tebbott, who constructed a very neat porch at
the entrance generally used by the public, but on this occasion
exclusively appropriated to the reception of the troops and of
the Royal party and their attendants. A carpet was also laid
in the porch, and on either side were corresponding erections
for the Guard of Honour to stand in. Admission was ob-
tained by tickets, which were issued by the Hon. and Rev.
the Dean of Windsor, who distributed upwards of 500 for
the north aisle, 70 for the altar for persons of distinction, and
others for the organ gallery, unoccupied stalls, &e.
A new anthem had been composed by Mr. Elvey, the or-
ganist of the chapel, expressly for the occasion. It was from
the 119th Psalms." Wherewithal shall a young man .CIPM,SE
his .way.?" eac.,. and on Friday it was .rehearsed in the presence
of his Majesty, together with the rest of the music intended
to be Used in the ceremony, including "fianders Coronation
Anthem." His Majesty and the gentlemen with him were
highly pleased with the music.. . . .
This morning, about half-past 10 o'clock, detachments of the
Foot Guards and the Royal Horie Guards (dismounted)
marched from their barracks with their respective bands to the
Chapel, and took up their station. X. company of Foot
Guards acted as the Guard of Honour on the green in front
of the Chapel, and also kept an open space for the Royal car-
riages. A party of the Horse Guards was stationed in the
recesses on each side the porch, and the western nave was
lined on one side with the Horse Guards and on the other with
Foot Guards, the intervening space being kept free for the
procession ; their bands occupied the western end, opposite the
choir. In the organ gallery were the members of the Queen's
band. The public were in the mean time admitted by the
door under the cloisters, and those who were fortunate enough
obtained admission into the choir and took their seats.
Shortly after half-past 11 o'clock their Majesties, with time
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George of Cam-
bridge, Duchess of Saxe Weimar, Princess An usta, Prince
Ernest Philips thal, and a numerous and distinguished company,
arrived at the Chapel door in 12 carriages. They were re-
ceived by the guard presenting arms and the soldiers within
doing the same. Within the nave their Majesties were met
by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of Worcester,
the Canons of Windsor, &c. The procession then formed in
the following order, and walked down the side of the nave,
then up the centre to the choir, the organ and the Queen's
hand playing " the March in Hercules :" Naval Knights and
Military Knight, two and two ; Rev. Dr. Kuper and Rev. J.
R. Wood; six Canons, two and two ; Archbishop of Canter-
bury and the Bishop of Worcester ; their Majesties and ether
members of the Royal Family, and their attendants ; Sir
'fimmas Fremantle, and several gentlemen connected with
the Lord Chamberlain's department. Their Majesties were
conducted to their stalls, instead of to the closet usually occu-
pied by them.
The., morning service then commenced, during which the
new anthem was played and sung from the 119th psalm :
Quartette—Ver. 9, " Wherewithal shall a young marl
cleanse his way ; even by ruling himself after thy word."
Solo—Tenor—Ver. 10, " With my whole heart have I
sought thee ; Oh let me not go wrong but of thy command-
ments."

Verse and Chorus—Verse 12, " Blessed art thou, 0 Lori;
Oa teach me thy statutes."
Chorus—" Hallelujah I Amen."
The anthem is a beautiful composition, was greatly ad-
mired, and reflected the highest credit on-the composer, Mr.
Elvey.
The morning service being concluded; a procession was
formed to the altar, the organ and band playing the minuet in
" Berenice ."—The- Verger first conducted the Archbishop
and Bishops to their stations at the altar. Their Majesties,
the Rev. Dr. Kuper, the Rev. I. Gossett, and the Rev. J. R.
