HIS MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE TOWER.

The citizens of London were on the qui vive at an early
hour yesterday morning, in consequence of the public notification
that his Majesty, the Queen, and other branches of the Royal
Family, intended to pass through the City on their way to the
Tower.

So early as nine o'clock the streets in the line of procession began
to assume a most animated appearance; groups of well-dressed
lieges were seen arriving from all quarters to take up their position
and secure good views. Nearly all the shops in the principal streets
were closed, and high holiday appeared to be the order of the day.
At the windows of the different houses were collected at ten o'clock
a great number of handsomely-dressed ladies, who appeared must
anxious to witness the cavalcade.

The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Corporate Officers, assembled
in Guildhall so early as half-past eight o'clock, in order to proceed
in state to Temple-bar, there to await the Royal party and give free
entrance into the City. At about a quarter to ten o'clock the Lord
Mayor and Aldermen, among whom we noticed Sir J. Shaw, Sir C.
Flower, Alderman Thompson, M.P. Alderman Winchester, M P.
Alderman Wood, 31. P. and Alderman Waithmsn, M.P. die. pro-
ceeded in state to await his Majesty's arrival at Temple-bar.
As the hour approached for his Majesty's arrival, the streets be-
came more densely crowded.
The Saddlers' Company, whivie Hall is situated in Chespside, in
order to express their feelings towards his Majesty and the Royal
party, hung in front of their house their splendid lags and banners,
which had a most brilliant elect.

The whole line of streets to the Tower became every minute more
densely crowded. In beadenhall-street there was a fine display of
. .

naval flap, in front of the house of Mr. Oriffiths, optician.. In
Cooper-row the children of the Tower Ward School were drawn
out in their best attire. On Tower-hill en animated scene pre-
sented itself; flags floating in all directions, nor was there a less in-
teresting sight exhibited on the river, where all the ships were
decked out in the colours of every nation.
At the Tower entrance we found his Once the Duke of Wel-
lington, Earl Rosalyn, and other Officers, in full military drew,
as Wardens 'of the Tower. His Once is Constable of the Tower.
Colonel Doyle, Major Ellerton, and other Officers of the Tower,
were also in attendance.

Some slight inconvenience was felt by the reporters in pining
admittance; the Duke of Wellington arrived at the gate at the in-
stant, and hearing the opposition, gave orders that every accommoda-
tion should be shown to the Press.
In front of the parade were drawn up the 2d Battalion of Gre-
nadier Guards, 600 strong, commanded by Colonel lambert.
At the Governor's (Major Ellerton's) house a collation was spread,
for the Royal party, and nearly opposite a spacious marquee was
erected, in which his Majesty and the Royal party took their stand
to witness the inspection. It is perhaps, worthy of remark here,
that the marquee just alluded to belonged to Tippo Seib: it has
been repaired and beautified.
In the room where the collation wu laid out, and where covers
were laid for about fifty, was confined Mary, Queen of Scotland.
There was a great body of the new polite on duty, and they
kept excellent order on Tower-hill and within the fortress. Within
the Tower there was collected a great number of highly respectable
persons.
At twenty-five minutes to twelve the firing of the guns from off
the Tower-wharf announced the fact, that his Majesty was nearing
the Tower, and shortly afterwards the King appeared ice front of
the parade, walking by the side of the Duke of Wellington, and fol-
lowed by the other officers.
The troops, 900 strong, were then inspected by his Majesty ; they
marched before him in slow, and then in quick time. Afterwards
a square was formed, and the King paid a compliment to the officers,
and expressed his satisfaction at the discipline of the troops.
Owing to the small spas for those operations much inconvenience
was felt.

His Majesty then proceeded to the Governor's house. The
Queen looked rather pale, but the King looked as healthy as ever.
Her Majesty took the arm of the Duke of Wellington. Their Ma.
jetties were followed by Prince Leopold, the Duke of Sasses, the
Duke of Cumberland, &c. and the whole escort the Royal party had
was composed of shout its halberdeers
It was a matter of general conversation and surprise among the
ladies how simply (yet gracefully) the Queen was dressed. Indeed.
out of three or four thousand females Facet, it would have been
difficult to have found one who was not mom showily attired. Their
Majesties afterwards appeared at the balcony, and were loudly
cheered.
