A great loan), of the young Officers of the Cavalry Regi-
ment stationed at Canterbury accompanied her Majesty on
horseback, from Canterbury to Sittingbourne.
Through every village on the route towards London the
same enthusiasm prevailed. All business was at an end,
and every class of society seemed to feel it a duty to pay ho-
mage to her Majesty. The hells of the Churches were set
ringing, and all was joy and exultation.
At Sittingbourne, a number of clergymen, in their fail
gowns and hands, were waiting in the road to pay their re-
spects to her Majesty, and approached her for that purpose
while the horses were changing.

' At the bottom of Chatham-hill the whole population of the
town of Chatham and its vicinity were collected to bid her
Majesty welcome. Ati attempt was made to renew the coot-
. pliment of drawing her Majesty through the town ; hut, as
her Majesty was anxious to get to London before the close of
' day, at her request the people desisted: She was, however,
cheered front every Mouse as she passed, and all were alike lund
in their acclamations of applause. The scenes described as
__droving taken place in the other towns were renewed until
she had tune completely through Rochester and Stroud. She
was also attended by a very numerous cavalcade of horse-

At Gravesend a rope was drawn across the road, and, in
defiance of the repeated entreaties of Alderman %Voud, her
Majesty was again drawn by her subjects entirely through the
town, amidst reiterated cheers.

From Dartford several horse Men came to meet her Ma-
jesty, and accompanied her carriage from thence to London.
As she advanced towards Shooter's-hill the attendant caval-
cade increased in numbers. Hundreds of vehicles of all de-
scriptions were seen stationary on each side of the road,
filled with well-dressed females, who, as her Majesty passed,
joined in the universal shout, and continued to wave their
handkerchiefs. These vehicles afterwards formed part of the
procession, and continued to swell her Majesty's train.

As her Majesty's carriage descended the hill towards Lon-
don, one of her horses fell, and for a time there was consi-
derable confusion. The animal was, however, soon relieved
from its dangerous situation, and its place supplied by
another. The cavalcade then quickly advanced. It was pre-
ceded by a cloud of horsemen waving their hats, and repeat-
ing the cries of " Long live Queen .Caroline !"

The general expectation that her Majesty would enter
the capital on the evening. of yesterday proved to be well
funnded. Neither the degree of uncertainty which accom-
panied it, nor the unfavourable state of the weather, could
extinguish tile ardour which prompted hundreds to as-
semble at an early hour, in order to hail and congratu-
late her return. On all those outskirts of the town which
*point ur lead to the high Dover road, at the obelisk in Saint
George's-fields, at the Elephant and Castle, the Brick-
layers' Arms, the multitude began rapidly to increase about
three o'clock. The publicans hoisted a royal ensign• on
the staff of their sign-posts, and at Deptford the union jack
was suspended ill two or three places across the road. Symp-
toms of an impatient curiosity mingled with those of a deep
and powerful interest became stronger . in each succeeding
hour. The throng of spectators became more dense the
further au advaisce was made towards the point of antici-
pated meeting; Deptford and Greenwich poured out in in-
discriminate concourse all ranks and conditions of their in-
habitants; Blackheath resembled some great Continental
Fair; and at Shooter's-hill were drawn up in excellent
order an array of baruuches, chaises, and other vehicles filled
with respectable and decent women. The descent of the ca-
valcade which preceded her Majesty down Shooter's-hill,
amidst the joyous waving of hats, and the reiterated shouts
of thousands, had ,a fine effect as beheld at the opposite
extremity of Blackheath. On arriving at the Green Man,
her Majesty's carriage drew up, and she alighted. A mu-
mentary depression, arising chiefly from fatigue, rendered a
short repose desirable. The attraction now grew more intense,
and in order to prevent confusion, and allay the thirst of cu-
riosity, the Queen, at the advice of Alderman tVood, after par-
taking of some refreshment, condescended to appear at one
of the windows of the inn. The crowd, at once satisfied
and animated at this appearance, burst into a vehement and
protracted shout of applause. Her Majesty bowed gracefully,
and notwithstanding her anxiety and fatigue, looked remark-
ably well. She was dressed iu a black twilled sarcenet gown,
a fur tippet and ruff, with a hat of black satin and feathers.—
After a delay of about twenty minutes she resumed her jour-
ney. As the weather had now cleared up, and the rays of the
sun increased the, splendour of the scene, the carriage was
thrown open, and every one gratified with an immediate
view of their Sovereign's consort. Mr. Alderman Wood,
Lady Ann Hamilton, and a female attendant, rude in the
same carriage. The acclamations were now renewed, and
continued without interruption till the entire cavalcade
reached the metropolis, when they swelled iuto a yet louder
strain. It was not well known in London where her Majesty
would take up her residence, and the multitude was, there-
fore, scattered in various directions, and broken into indis-
tinct groups, as the cavalcade passed through St. George's-
fields. On pursuing its route over Westminster-bridge the
multitude re-assembled in one compect body, and preceding
or following in the train, accompanied the procession to its
close. Though not originally intended to pass up Pall-mall this
direction was taken by the great body of horsemen who pre-
ceded the Royal carriage, and it was not thought necessary
to turn suddenly off. The sentries OD duty at Carlton-house
presented arms, but in a manner indicating that some re•
serve and embarrassment extended even to their humble
stations. It was now understood that her Majesty was to
proceed to the house of Mr. Alderman Wood, in South
Audley-street, there to fix her abode fur the present. Thither
all parties, whether on horseback or on foot, now began to
hasten, anti soon swelled into a countless multitude those who,
from better or earlier information, had already stationed
themselves in that quarter. Considerable difficulty was ex-
perienced in leading up her Majesty's barouche to the
door. The tide of popular feeling was at its flood, and the
air rang with repeated cheerings. After the Queen had at
length entered, there seemed to be no disposition to disc•
perse ; vehicles of every kind maintained their position, and
the crowd stood compact and immoveable. In a few minutes
Mr. Alderman Wood appeared in the balcony of the first
floor, and intimated that her Majesty would in person testify
the sense which she entertained of the respectful sentiments
expressed towards her. The clamour then subsided, till,
shortly after, the Queen-herself appeared, and by a dignified
obeisance acknowledged the tokens of affectionate loyalty by
which her reception had been graced. Her Majesty walked,
from one end of the balcony to the other, and, having bowed
to all around, withdrew. The crowd instantly dispersed
thr °ugh the various outlets of the street, and her l‘lajesty's

tin;ll, coniio,ing t:f a cithisli znd V.-ace i,ost-cbaltes, Were al-
lowed to unload.

The club-hunsc3 in St. James's-street were illuminated, as
were likewise the houses i❑ Hill-street, Burlington-house,
and some others in Piccadilly.-
