Col. Hiram Fuller, who is now in Eng
land, Whites to the New York Tribune
some very graphic letters. We copy from
one of them description Of the scene at
the opening Of the British Parliament
To witness the spectacle of the "Ope-
ming" Was the principle motive that had
hurried me to London and on arriving
found that all adm ission tickets had been
disposed Of for several days. But my
friends went % work in my behalf; and
several gentlemen in Influential positions
made personal applications to the Lord
Chamberlain for "one more ticket" 1t was
in vain his Lordship addressed me We.
ry polite note expressing his "extreme re-
gret." Mr.. Moran, the gentlemanly and
obliging Secretary Of the American Lega-
ton, also exerted himself to the utmost
without success. But there was still a
power which had not been appealed to
power "mightier than the mind power
which no popular government can afford
to disregar!-the Power of the Press.
A line from Herbert Ingram. Esq, NJ.
NJ, the proprietor of the illustrated Lon-
don Ne~s, carried me through the long
line of the police men, door-keepers, and
other officials, into the Reporters Gallery
of the House of Lords, the very best pos
sible position for witnessing the august
spectacle. And what pageant of splen
dor and of grandeur was here presented.
The floor of the House was packed with
the wives and daughters and sisters of the
Peers, in full dress leaving only u narrow
space in the centre which was occupied
by Peers and Bishops, in their brilliant
scarlet robes. The entire gallery which
surrounds the House was filled with a row
Of elegantly dressed ladies', only broken
by line of Reporters, occupying seats di
rectly opposite the Throne. Behind the
Reporters, the benches, one rising above
another, were filled with ladies.
Presently the trumpets sound-the sig
nal that the Queen is approaching. She
leaves the Palace in her magnificent State
Carriage, drawn by eight cream colored
horses, attended by her Ministers and
household officers, in carriages but little
less sumptuous than her own escorted
BY the life guard, all mounted on noble
black horses the whole cortege forming
a most magnificent spectacle. In alight
ing from the Carriage. Her Majesty's foot
presses an electric wire, which fires can
non in the Park. The Usher Of the Col
den Rod, gives a. a.signal and suddenly eve
~ lady in the house throws of her opera
cloak, or shawl, or mantle and a more
beautiful revelation can hardly be imagin-
ed surely not described.
Washed all their arms In air;
Hsshsd all their bosoms fair,
Stunning the gsxers there;--
Lovely six hundred.
The officers of the Court enter, and
bowing before the throne, arrange them,
selves on either side. the Prime Minister,
Lord Derby, standing on the left, present
ing the sword Of State. Now there is a
rising MI over ths House, but 10 qa,etl Y
that only slight ros.ls Of dresses is heard.
The Queen enters, arrayed in her mos,
royal robes, with y glit,ering tiara Of dia
monds Oh her head while the crown d
England is borne on q velvet cushion be
hind her. She ascends thu Throne, which
looks like . great golden chair, elevated
some ,hses Or four steps and M soon ..
The Maids Of Henor have adjusted he,
