THE ROYAL CHRISTENING DAY

IN THE METROPOLIS.
The morning was ushered in by joyous peals from the
different church bells of the metropolis, the West-end of
which had been for hours previously in a state of com-
motion, owing to the anxiety of a great number of loyal
sight-seekers, who had determined at all hazards to get
near the scene of action. At midnight even hundreds
were wending their way along the road from Hyde-
park corner towards IVindsor, with the spirit and
glee which may have often been observed on the
Ascot day. It was a strange medley of boys, girls,
and "children of larger growth," of every grade.
Besides the pedestrians numerous parties in carriages
took the same route at an early hour, whilst the railway
was literally beseiged by persons anxious to avail
themselves of that mode of transmit ; but the first
train was specially engaged by those whose duties
or pleasure called them to the Castle, but
could not be accommodated in Windsor. In town
all the public offices, and most of the wholesale ware-
houses in the City, were closed. The shops generally
were open. At the West• end there were illuminations,
which, although confined in number, were very brilliant.
All the devices embraced the letters P. W. (Prince of
Wales), with Prince's coronets, Stars of the Garter, &c.
On the river the vessels hoisted all their colours, And en-
livened the scene as much as the extreme dullness of the
day would allow.
_ THE ILLUMINATIONS.

The illuminations in the last evening, were
very numerous and splendid. Among the most re-
markable were those of the Guards' Club-house, Crock-
ford's, the Army and Navy, the Colonial, the Wynd-
ham, the Carlton, the Reform, the Senior United Ser-
vice, and the Oxford and Cambridge Club-houses.
The Prince's feathers was the general symbol. A great
number of private tradesmen, including:, of course, those
employed by the Court, illuminated their premises with
elegant and ingenious devices. All the theatres fol-
lowed the example. Even those exempt from the
authority of the Lord Chamberlain exhibited .as bril-
liant displays, in honour of the young Prince, as the
patent theatres. The , Surrey was loyal in the ex-
treme. On the outside of the building the managers
