for his reception, be needed few other claims
TO win the most cordial acclamation of his well
comers. He was dressed in the uniform of a
colonel OF the Guards-s scarlet coat, black
troWsers, and hat with plume. He wore, also,
the broad ribbon of the Garter. Erect and
we'll formed, this costume was greatly in his
favor. All persons were struck with the youth

prepared them. As he stood listening to the
reading of the address, with undisturbed COM

That the Queen desired him to return so as to

little marble busts, one Of the Queen, and the
other Of Prince Albert. Above these is a print
