The buz of moving about now subsided, and a solemn still

ness pervaded the Hall; every eye was turned towards the
Throne, in anxious expectation to see the Illustrious Sbvcreign
who was to contribute and support the most interesting part In
the most splendid of all ceremonials; the Heralds at Arms alone
were active in arranging the various orders of Nubility and per-
sons of rank in such parts sf the. Hall as would enable them to
join in the Procession.
At ten o'clock precisely the King entered the Ball, preceded
by the Great Officers of State, and took his seat in the Chair
of State, at the head of the Royal Table. His Majesty was most
splendidly attired, and wore a plume of ostrich feathefs, sur-
mounted by a black heron's plume. The moment the King en-
tered, the whole of the persons in the gallery rose, and kept
standing during the time his Majesty continued in the Hall; the
trumpets struck up the air of " Goa save the King."
At this moment a gun was bred from the man of war sta-
tioned off Cotton-gardens, to announce to the metropolis the

of the august solemnity.

His Majesty, on his first entry, appeared to be somewhat fa-
tigued, but he was cheerful; and in the ceremony that fol-
lowed, of depositing the Regalia on the table, skewed that he
was intimately acquainted with the acmutonted manner in which
it was done; and he appeared in some instances to give direc-
tions to the Noblemen and(H6cers in the execution of their duties.

Lord High Constable, the Duke of Wellington ; and the Deputy
Earl Marshal, Lord Howard of Effulgham, then ascended the
steps and placed themselves at the outer side of the table.

Officers of State, the I)eputy Garter, and Black Rod, arranged
themselves near the Chair of State ; while the Royal Train-
bearers stood on each side of the Throne.

the Officers of the Jewel-office, then brought the Sword of State
to the Lord High Constable, who delivered it to Lord Gwydyr,
by whom it was laid upon the table ;. then the Curtana or
Sword of Mercy, with the two Swords of Justice, being in like
manner presented, were drawn from their scabbards by Lord
Gwydyr and laid on the table before his Majesty ; after which
the Gold Spurs were delivered and also placed on the table.
