HER MAJESTY'S DRAWING-ROOM.

The Drawing-room held by the Queen on Wednesday,
in St. Jame's Palace, was one of the most brilliant courts
held by her Majesty. The suite of State saloons, and
also the ante-rooms, were all filled with nobility and
gentry soon after the time (two o'clock) appointed for
holding the court. Being the anniversary of her Majes-
ty's accession to the throne, the principal knights of the
principal orders of knighthood wore their collars. The
Lord Chief Justice of England and the Lord Chief Baron
of the Exchequer, wore their gold collars of SS with the
portcullis. The Equity judges and the Hon. Baron
Rolfe wore their gold robes. The Envoy from the
Sovereign of Nepaul, and also the officers of the mission,
appeared in magnificent Eastern costumes, nearly covered
with the richest gold embroidery—the costume of the
Envoy being of green velvet. The turbans of his Excel-
lency, and also those of his two brothers, were adorned
with a profusion of diamonds, pearls, and emeralds; and
the Envoy also wore a collar of emeralds of large size.
