wise moseyed, the gates blew *pea, the overwhelming
torrent rushed ill, and in a minute or two the whole
filer of -the demesne was covered with men and wo-
men: a great proportion of thew being of respectable
exterior. The main stream rolled on down the ave-
nue to the house ; and, before the procession entered
with people in spite of the exertions of her Majesty's
the touter gates, the court yaril was packed and wedged
servants to repress their seal ; the garden walls, the
paling% and even the roof of the porch were com-
pletely covered.
The Middlesex procession now approached the
honer, bet its entrance into the court yard was very
murk retarded by the pressure of the crowd. The
person, composing it, however, were at length set

Mr. Peter Moore, Mr. Waithman, the members of Mr.
Whitbread's Committee, and many other persons, oc-
cupying between twenty and thirty open landaus with
four horses each. They were received, amidst the
shouts of the populace, by two servants in Royal
liveries, scarlet and gold, and they were immediately
ushered into the grand drawing-room en the first-door.
