of the gates. The royal carriage was, however, delayed
for some time under the gate.
We should observe, as due to the police, that their
Conduct, as far as it came under our notice, was most
orderly, and even obliging, when it did not interfere
with their duty. The only accident we observed
occurred to one of the Lancers, whose horse fell over
one of the heaps of sand collected in the morning to
throw over the wood pavement. The rider, a young
flan, was thrown off, and as they were proceeding at
the time at a somewhat quick pace, it is surprising
that he was not trampled on by the succeeding horse-
men• lie did not, however, seem to regard his fall,
for he immediately mounted again.

TEMPLE-BAR.
Certainly the most interesting and important part
of the procession commenced here. The loyal citizens
of London, ever awake to the honour '•of a visit
from their beloved Queen, have been on the qui
rive for many days past to receive her in the
Manner that her exalted• rank demands. Along
Fleet-street, Ludgate-hill, St. Paul's, Cheapside, and
the Poultry, nothing has been wanting, and no
expense spared to receive the Queen of England in
a manner worthy of the first city in the world.
Flags were flying from the turret of almost
every house ; citizen beauty appeared at every
window, the gayest of the gay filled every
balcony along the line of the procession, and
the humble and plodding artisan seemed to feel
no fatigue, and to consider it no discomfiture to wait
in a dense crowd for five or six hours, in order that he
might catch a glimpse of his Sovereign. In almost
every
i shop-window, from Fleet-street to the Mansion-
house, seats were erected, and let at prices varying
'rem two guineas to five shillings. Many were most
tastefully decorated, and showed great skill on the
part of those who erected them.
As early as seven o'clock numbers began to as-
semble in the neighbourhood of Temple-bar, and at
the windows was to be seen many a fair face—
" Scanning the motley scene that varied round."
The platform that had been erected on each side of
St. Dunstan's Church was filled with ladies ele-
gantly dressed ; in short, the whole tout ensemble,
from Temple-bar to the Exchange, put us in mind of
those splendid lines by Milton :
"Blossoms and fruits at once of golden hue,
Ar,Ppeared withgay enamelled colours mixed,
Thanwhich the sun more glad impressed his beams,
-Lhan in fair evening cloud or humid bow."
Although it was generally understood that there
Was
of not to be any illumination in the City, many
the loyal inhabitants have made preparations
"" do honour to their Sovereign by lighted stars, ele-
gant mottoes, illuminated by gas and varigated
Ata ii rePs• Among these we must notice the office of
e.Anti-Corn-law League, 'who have got an illumi-
ready for the evening, consisting of the words
Free Trade," "V. A.," and a star. There are also
preparations for illuminating at Lynns', the fish-mon-
ger in Fleet-street, at Mr. Williams', the umbrella-
taker in Ludgate-hill ; Mr. Mason's, the chemist,
at the corner of Shoe-lane ; the office of the
m
°?laing Advertiser ; and though last, not
least, West's, the optician, will produce his
e 74.74 Spectacle, which it is intended shall not re-
quire spectacles of a great magnifying power to see
t At an early hour in the morning the bells of St.
ride's> St. Dunstan's, and St. Mary. le-Bow, rang a
merry peal. The Aldermen, Common Councilmen,
and all the City authorities were stirring by sunrise.
ijr,he,rtlY before eleven o'clock the Lord Mayor,
BiS state coach, preceded by several of the
aAldermen of the City, set out for Temple-bar.
" Majesty and Prince Albert arrived at Temple-
," at twenty minutes before twelve o'clock. Shortly
uefere her arrival the gates were closed, and upon her
coming to Temple-bar one of the Heralds
demanded admittance for the Queen of England into
