and about 50 police officers and constables, to
keep order in the public streets' The entrance
hall of Buckingham-house was filled with ladies
and gentlemen, Who wete permitted to station
themselves there, to see the royal personages as
they came out to their carriages. The Princess
Sophia of Gloucester arrived at the Queen's palace
about halt-past seven, to accompany the rest of
the Royal Family 'to the Priece Regent's. The
Princess Charlotte of %Vales descended the grand
st aircase, being conducted by the Princess Augusta
on her right hand, and by Colonel Stephenson on

her Royal Highness was met by her Majesty

ft" the young Princess sat on the back seat. The
Princesses Elizabeth • and Augusta accompanied

Mary and Sophia of Gloucester followed in an-
other royal carriage. A party ot life-guards form-
ed their royal escort. There was every possible de-
gree of, decorum among the immense numbers as-
sembled in the Park ; but their cheers and greetings
in honour of the Princess Charlotte were loud and
incessant. The royal. Ladies entered Carlton-house
through the garden-gate, -where they were most
airectionittely received by his Royal Highness the
Prince Regent at eight o'clock in the evening.
The Prince of Saxe-Coburg quitted the Duke of
Clarence's aboot ball-past eight, with two royal
carriages. In the first was Lord J. Murray (Lord
in waiting to his Serene Highness), Baron Hat-

Sir R. Gardner (his Serene Highness's Equerry).
In the other carriage were Prince Leopold, ac-
companied by Baron Just, the Saxon Minister
at this Court, and Mr. Chester, the Assistants
master of the Ceremonies. When his Highness
came omit to get into the carriage, great enthu-
siasm was manifested by the female spectators,
whose hearty good wishes were not confined to the
-waving of handkerchiefs, or other ordinaryexpres-
sions of congratulation, but proceeded to the homely
but sincere detrlaratiou of the interest they felt in
Iris hopes and future felicity by approaching 'him
closely, patting him on the back, and invoking
upon him all sorts of the best blessings. Attempts
were also made to take off the horses' front the
Prince's carriage, end draw him, in the accustom-
ed spirit of English good-will, to Carltote-house.
From these attempts, however, time populace were
persuaded to desist, though Prince Leopold appear-
ed perfectly really to allow any' indulgence which
she joyful feelings of the populace inclined them to
sequire.- - His &Tete Highness received abundant
pt ones of public regard otr his tyay toCariton-house,
an continual checrings and gratulations ; and when
be passed within the colonnade, the band played
" God save the King." A similar mark of atten-
tion was paid to the Duke and Duchess of York,
the Duke of Kent, and other Royal personages, on
their arrival. The attendants at Carltnia-house
belonging to time Royal Household (guards, yeo-
men, footmen, &c.) appeared in state costumes,
and the great hell was brilliantly lighted up.---
