The Procession IN London on the ArTiUal Of
the Princess Alerandya
! LONDON, March THE public thronged the
streets Of the city at an early hour, and devoted
| the morning to an examination of the common
arrangements The triunphal arch on London
! bridge was finished just in time, snd it had 40
| imposing and majestic appearance. The elegant
/ white and gold corners Of its carved roof
crowned by four white horses tue bronze tn
/ pods on the parspet of the bridge, and between
these the lofty standard, surmounted BY crowns
anu other richly gilt and ornamental works. The
grand galleries around ST. Pauls also proved
| great attraction. At length the streets became
so crowded as to render il necessary for those
who desired to witness the procession to lose no
| time in selecting position for the purpose. The
| fine open space, between the Royal Exchange,
/ Bank and Mansion house, was filed with thou
| sends Of people The fights Of steps leading to
the exchange presented the appearance Of
/ great smphi,heateT. The building was crowded
and fripged with mass Of people. The roofs
of other edifices IN the neghboThood were also
occupied. Toward two o'clock the sky became
overcast and JUST at that hour rather q heavy
/ shower commenced, which lasted several min
utes, but the weather Immediately cleared up
The many spectators nov began most anxiouslg
to look toward King William street for the
advance Of the magnificent royal train,
and punctually st BlaeklIisr at j, and accord
ing TO the programme, the Pcnee and Princess
were to reach he Mansion house shout u; but
the civil procession, though effective and splen-
did ss pageant uaavoidsbly acted as a drag on
the progress Of the reysl party and it moved
on steadily and unstes6ilY instead Of at an uni
form pace. At the Mansion house the pgOces
sion was about forty minutes behind time The
people watched eagerly for the plumes Of tss
Life Guards aud Horse Guards which forned .ha
royal escort, and, when these were visible, ths
excitement began to attain its climsTi as the car
Fisgo approached which contained lie Prince
and Princess, the chsers Of she people became
enthusiastic in the extreme--eheer5 10 one cleo
trie shout Of the welcome. The effect was
thrilling on the spectators, bat on those who
were the immedists object OF this grand out
burst of loyalty and attachment, the emotion
produced must have been such as never to be
efsced. The Prince and Princess were at times
visihly affected, and the royal procession pro
ceeded on westward amidst tumUltuous cheers
The procession reached the bottom Of Ludgats
hill st $3.50 P NJ. In consequence Of it being
known thstihe civil portion would leave at Tenn
pie bar, the people assembled in immouse NUM-
beEs at Fleet street, and by one O'clock he pave
ment and roadway were thickly crowded. Wben
seen from above, between the inlervsHes left By
the large banners, from the house-tops and win
dows, and the fesfoOns ecross tie ftiests, Dartic-
ulsriy when taken as part only OF an ovation
nearly six miles IN length, it presented one Of
the most extraordinary sights ever seen in this
country. A slight shower fell sbOut II p NJ
Little or no attempt at forming PROCESSION was
made except BY three horse soldiers riding
abreast occasionally Though the crowd, tho
leading carriages containing some Of Che city
authorities came clesriDg the 7'sy for themselves.
The time of procession was not kept up con
tinuOuslys About $40 the great object Of at-
traction appeared, bowing gracefully and smil-
ing amiably to the crowd both far and uesr.
The crowd were in the highest good humor.
TIE police had little occasion TO interfere nor
hsd the cavalry who lined tho sides Of the road
any more dissgreeahle duty to do than laugh
at the vsgaries of the crowd Every wind0g,
every housstop, and each available noos wss
thickly people5i and, before the procession came
near, every lamp post bad a cluster of sight
seers. Thus far, it was grand ovation aud tri-
umphant success.
The procession through HYDE park was one
of the most interesting features Of tho day.
Guards we're drawn up in two lines, aud bshipd
them sixteen thousand volunteers lined the wey,
drawn up four deep-no cheering was allowed,
and the contrast in that respect to the l0ud cheer
Of the crowd outside was very remarkable. Tbs
corps presented splendid appearance, and evi-
IDENTIFY attracted the special notice OF the PIN
cess and her family. Her appearance has com I
pleteIy confirmed the favorable impression enter
tanned in England. She wore a purple velvet
cloak, white bonnet, with the national roseB and

ing the station was exiraordinary-the line could /
not be kept owing to the immense multitude on /
