ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY.

At twenty-five past twelve o'clock, a large body of yeo-
manry cavalry, well equipped and well mounted, drew up
opposite the Angel. The increasing bustle in the streets
made it clear that her Majesty was not far off. A trum-
peter first announced her approach. Immediately after two
of her Majesty's Esquires drove up rapidly in a coach and
four, and they had hardly dismounted when one universal
shout along the whole line of street gave proof that the
Queen was in sight. Her carriage proceeded slowly, and
she received, with the most dignified kindness of look and
manner, the loud and incessant greetings of the multitude.
The whole street presented a flood of waving hats and
handkerchiefs. Her Majesty appeared highly pleased, and
bowed repeatedly to the people. It is a most cheering sight
to see such a reception of a Sovereign by her subjects. Her
Majesty looked in high health and spirits. She wore a
light silk dress, and over that a rich black satin travelling
cloak, ornamented round the edges with a green bordering.
The Duchess of Saxe Weimar was seated on her left. In
the carriage which immediately succeeded that of the Queen
was seated his Royal Highness Prince George of Cam-
bridge, accompanied by two other gentlemen and a youth,
whose names we could not ascertain. His Royal Highness
was received with continued cheering, and was evidently in
a high state of pleasurable excitement, for he laughed
heartily, and saluted the crowd with the kindest looks.
After the lapse of a few moments, her Majesty appeared
on the balcony, and the cheers were louder, if possible, than
on her first appearance. She remained on the balcony for
five or six minutes, and durinr, this time the shouting, and
waving of hats and handkerchiefs, were incessant. A break-
fast was prepared for her Majesty at the Angel, of which
herself and illustrious suite partook. Fortunately the morn-
inc, was delightful—clear and sunny as a day in summer,
and this added much to the joyousness of the whole scene.
A little. before one o'clock the Mayor, accompanied by
some of the official authorities, arrived in his dress of cere-
mony, and paid his respects to her Majesty.
VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO THE THEATRE.

This splendid hall was fitted up in the most convenient
and tasteful manner for the reception of the illustrious per-
sons, who were soon to honour it with their presence. The
hall was opened for the admission of Ladies before any
gentleman made his appearance, and %then the doors were
:2wn open, and the Masters, Graduates, and their friends,
were acin;.!tted, the appearance was very imposing. The
whole circula.' space, composed of many tiers of seats,
was filled with eloc-Intly . dressed females, among whom
were many persons of distinction. The Under Gra-
duates were soon after admitted, and as soon as they gained
possession of their seats, they began in the usual way
to express their feelings in groans and cheers. They,
commenced with the present Ministry, at whom they most
vociferously groaned. Groans for Lord J. Russell and
Stroud, Lord Brougham, &c., &c., then succeeded each
other in rapid succession. The. cheers were given with a
zeal of lungs that exceeded anything we have witnessed
upon similar occasions. They were uttered in such rapid
succession, and in such profusion, that "panting time toiled
after them in vain." The Queen, the Ladies, the Duke of
Cumberland, the Prince of Cambridge, the Duke of Wel-
lington, Church and State, Lord Eldon, Sir Charles We-
therell, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Lyndhurst, the Ladies, the
Ladies' Maids, &c., &c., two or three tima over, were re-
ceived with enthusiastic and most loud greeting. Then
succeeded, as if for relief and contrast, various other groans
among which Lord Radnor and the Dissenters were distin-
guished. " Lord Radnor and his foxhounds" were loudly
cheered. Then succeeded the Ladies again, the Bishops, Ste,
Her Majesty arrived about three o'clock, and, as she en-
tered the theatre, the shout of applause raised from all parts
of it was most appalling. We never witnessed anything at
all approaching to it upon a similar occasion, except, per-
haps, the reception given to the Duke of Wellington, when
lie appeared at the Senate House at Cambridge, on the oc-
casion of the late installation of the Marquis Camden.
Her Majesty having taken her seat, with her august sis-
ter on the right, the Duke of Wellington, as Chancellor of
the University, proceeded to the centre of the theatre, and
raft in a clear and distinct voice an address to the following
purport
" May it please your Majesty—We, the Chancellor, Mas-
ters, and body of the Universities of Oxford, request permis-
sion to express the deep sense we entertain of the honour co-
ferred on us by your Majesty's gracious condescension in
visiting this University. On no occasion have we been more
desirous to evince our sentiments of dutiful and grateful ac-
knowledgment. The House of Brunswick has endeared it-
self to the British nation by the care it has always taken to
maintain its constitutional principles.—( Loud cheers.) For a
long period of years it has preserved to this empire the perfect
enjoyment of its civil rights and constitutional liberties ; and
this University has reason to acknowledge the zeal it has al-
ways displayed in the cause of education and‘in the interests
of true religion. We may also add among your Majesty's pre-
decessors in the high station you now occupy we have had
some of the must zealous supporters of this University, and
have had the happiness of being made objects of their Royal
favour. Placed in the highest station of the realm, your Ma-
jesty has exemplified in your personal character the greatest
virtues which adorn private life, holding forth a bright example
for imitation, not only to your Majesty's Court, but in the pr ir
vate ranks of the whole community. These sentiments we
beg leave, in perfect sincerity, to lay at your Majesty's feet,
whilst at the same time we trust that Providence may long
preserve your life—that you may long continue a comfort and
a blessing to your Royal Consort, and enjoy the firm and last-
ing affection of the virtLl4R3 and the good."
Her Majesty immediately arose rimidst reiterated cheers,
and read a most gracious answer.
The Duke of Wellington immediately after took his seat
in the ehatieollor's Chair, and the honorary degree of Doc-
tor of Laws was conferred with the Rual forms on the
Prince of Hesse Philippsthal Barchfeid, kart It g4rl
of. Denbigh, and the Hon. W. Ashley. The public orator,
ire sLungninpinlir the name of the illustrious Prince pronounced
a high eulogium oft his military and other merits. The ora-
tor (the Rev. Dr. Bliss) detivered the oration with great
P)P4.4tice, propriety, and emphasis of manneCtier. Majesty
