SECOND DAY'S PROCEEDINGS.

As early as eight o'clock this morning, troops were
seen moving in various directions in the neighbour-
hood of the Horse Guards,-and by nine each company
was stationed in the post assigned to it. Two troops
of the Horse Guards were marched into Old Palace
Yard ; one part of them were ranged in front of
Westminster Abbey, and the remainder lined the
street on each side of the way from Parliament-street
to St. Margat et's Church. A party of the Foot Guards
were placed in front of the House of Lords.

The arrangements made by Mr. LEE, the Deputy
High Bailiff, yesterday, for keeping the avenues clear,
having been found insufficient, carpenters were em-
ployed during the whole of the night in erecting new
barriers, and in strengthening those-v/114th' hid Yes=
terday been forced. This was done by tigiiaing
,
whole of the railing with strong deals, so that the,

crowd could not creep under them as they did yes..
terday. At each corner on the pavement, the barriere
were raised, and small wicket-gates made, Which
rendered. a forcible entry difficult.
Another double barrier has been erected across the
street, from *corner of Oliver's Coffee-house to St.
Margaret's Church, and the pavement was divided.l
from the carriage-road by a line of railing. The en-
trance to Poet's Corner as also been railed off: I
To keep the immediate vicinity of the Ilouse of'
Lords as clear
,as; petrible„ and yet to afford every
facility and accommodation to those whose business
required it, Mr. Lam distributed pass tickets. A
body of the Horse Patrole were distributed in dif-
ferent stations by the barriers. Too much praise

cannot be given to Mr. Us, for these excellent-regn-
iations, whicb, while they secured a free and uninter-
rupted passage to and from the House, did not inter-
fere with or obstruct the avocations of any one, and
bydividing the crowd, and extending it along a more

continued line, prevented those accidents which too
great a pressure in one place so frequently occasions.

The crowd which, at Dine o'clock, was inconsi-
derable, increased rapidly as the hour appointed for
the House to meet approached. The Noble Lords,
on passing through the assembled multitude, again
witnessed that feeling which their known conduct in
the affairs of the QuanN had excited. These demon-
strations of public opinion were not, however, so
strong as yesterday. The Duke of GLOUCESTER came
in his carriage, and he was soon followed by the
Duke of YORK, who rode on horseback, and was as
cordially welcomed by the crowd as he was yester-
day. The Dukes of WELLINGTON, DEVONSHIRE,
and LEINSTER, with several other Noblemen, rode
to the House of Peers, attended by their respective
grooms.

One individual was still wanted to complete the
highest and most solemn assembly that was ever
formed in Brit.tin—An individual more deeply inte-
rested in the momentous proceedings than all the
others together—an individual whose situation excites
universal sympathy, and whose arrival was waited
with the most intense anxiety. At length the loud
cheers, which were re-echoed from St. James's-square
to Westminster Abbey, announced that her MAJESTY
had left her residence, and was proceeding to that
tribunal before which she is arraigned. The caval-
cade was exactly of the same description as it was
yesterday. Her MAJESTY was preceded by Alder-
man WOOD in his carriage; Lady ANNE HAMILTON
sat in the state carriage with her MAJESTY ; and a
third carriage followed, in which were two of her
MAJESTY'S attendants. Nothing could exceed the
enthusiastic cheers with which her MAJESTY was
greeted by the assembled thousands along the! line.
The waving of bats and handkerchiefs, and shouts
of " GOD bless the QuE !" " Long live the Qux.rxr
" GOD bless your MAJESTY!" "Success to your MA-
JESTY!" proceeded from every mouth.
At a quarter past eleven, her MAJESTY arrived in
Old Palace-yard. The Horse and Foot Guards paid
the accustomed honour of presenting arms, at the
command of their Officers. Her MAJESTY was re-
ceived at the door of the House of Lords by Mr.
BROUGHAM. She was dressed the same as yesterday,
and looked extremely well. As soon as her MA-
JESTY had passed, the crowd dispersed very rapidly,
so that at twelve o'clock there were not above a thou-
sand persons in the neighbourhood of Palace-yard.
Not the slightest disposition to commit any excess
was manifested—every one seeming to feel that a
respectful demeanour was the best means of express-
ing their attachment to her MAJESTY, and their ara
dent wishes that " GOD might send her a good de-
liverance."
