ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY.

A few minutes before one a flourish of tnimpets and drums
announced her Majesty's approach. It is impossible to con-

presented itself. All rose, and the most perfect silence reigned
throughout the sacred edifice. As her Majesty entered the
Chapel a band of music, placed outside, played the national
anthem of `• God save the Queen."

Her Majesty did not wear a veil. , Her hair was dressed
quite plain, and the only ornament on the head was
a tiara of brilliant diamOnds. The train was several yards
long, and composed of the most costly materials. Her Ma-

At the conclusion of the breakfast her Majesty retired to
prepare for her departure for Windsor,. whither she was
accompanied by Prince Albert and a very limited suite,
including only, we believe, the Lord and Lady in Waiting,
Groom of the Chamber,, Equerry, two Maids of Honour,
and two or three other attendants on the royal person. 'The
domestic servants had previously set out for the Castle, to be
in readiness to receive her Majesty and her Consort, who in
