THE QUEEN OF PORTUGAL'. VISIT

TO ST. PAUL'&

About twelve o'clock yesterday morning, her Ma.
jesty the Queen of PORTUGAL paid a private visit to
St. Paul's Cathedral. Her bistaasTv and suite arrived
there in two of his Majesty's carriages ; Lord Clinton
was also in attendance upon her Majesty. The car-
riages entered the Cathedral-yard at the great Western
gate, and the grand western entrance of the Cathedral
was, on the occasion, thrown open. On the arrival of
the carriages, Mr. Sheriff Wilde with considerable dif-
ficulty reached the Royal carriage in time to receive
the Royal Personage en her alighting from the car-
riage. Mr. Sheriff Booth, was the next that arrived,
and her Majesty condescendingly curtsied to them,
on being informed by Lord Clinton who the worthy
Gentlemen were. The suite having all alighted, her
Majesty, leaning en the arm of Lord Clinton, ascended
the steps,and on entering the Cathedral, one of the
Ladies in attendance intimated to her Majesty that she
might be incommoded by the cold air of the Cathedral,
and a silk robe of Tyrian purple, lined with real
ermine, was immediately placed over her Royal pa-
stier; she then proceeded along the magnificent centre
aisle, preceded by Mr. Cope, one of the City Marshals,
the Sheriffs walking one on each side of her Majesty ;
on the way Mr. Alderman Ansley joined the party,
and her Majesty, with the greatest urbanity, was pleased
to notice the worthy Alderman. By the time her NIAjeAII
had reached the dome, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor,
atrended by his Sword Bearer, was in waiting. Her Ma-
je.ty repeatedly curtsied to his Lordship, and appeared
to be • much pleased at the marks of attention paid to
her.' The organ here struck up the Pottuguse Hymn,
Adeste fidellts," which, with several fugues, were
played while the Royal patty went through the choir,
atild frrisiticl the tombs of the immortal heroes whose
memories are there perpetuated, Nelson, Duncan, Hood,
Lake,. and the many who are recollected with affec-
ttooate delight by every one whose bosom possesses i
grateful heart. Her Majesty was then conducted to
the upper part of the Cathedral, to inspect the interior
of the national pile, and at the western extremity went
outside under the grand pediment, where the multitude,
who had by that nine assembled in St. Paul's Church-
yard, and Ludgate-hill, had an opportunity of getting
a glimpse of the Royal personage. Her Majesty next
ascended to the gallery of the dome, ovally called the
whispering gallery, where she was entertained by the
whisper of the door-keeper, who repeated his often-told.
tale of " this little door, &c." and two fires from it, the
organ responding the dreadful note s I thunder. Her
Majesty afterwards went up higher. to view the in-
terior construction of the dome, but did net go up to the
upper gallery, or, as it is called, " the top of St. Paul's.'
During the visit. a description of St: Paul's was pre-
sented, by one of the prebends, to her Majesty. During
the time the Royal party were up stairs, hundreds of
the public had obtained admission to the Cathedral,
upon paying the " small charge of twopence,' and on'
her returning to the body of the Cathedral, there was
a great rush to obtain i sight of her Majesty's Royal
Person. The pasty, aofFr being at the Cattiedial about
an hour, retired to their carriages, minded by the Lord
Wayor and hheuts.
