SCRIPTURE ILLUSTRATIONS.-No. 202. JOB, XIX, 23.—"Oh! that my words were now written I oh that they were printed in a book! that they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever." I have often been struck with the idea that there may be some affinity between the written -mountains in Xr, bia. and the excavated mountains inHindostan; I mean only as far as relates to such records or memorials in time of remote an- tiquity. The book of Job ia allowed to be of a very ancient date; coeval, if not antecedent to the writings of Moses. In his memorable speech to his misjudging and uncharitable friends, uttered by the venerable sufferer, in strong faith and fervent hope, he not only makes this animated appeal, but ardently wishes to have it recorded for the consolation of the latest posterity. Printing, so improperly in- troduced by the English translators, was then unknown manuscripts were perishing, but the rock was permanent. On an Adamantine rock, therefore, did the pious prince wish that his words might be engraveu, the characters filled up with lead, and remain indelible for ever! All this must certainly allude to a custom then known: most probably the written mountains in Arabia,the very country in which they lived, were extant at the time, and familiar to his hearers. Engraving on stones was generally practised in Egypt: their hieroglyphics were cu t ill the hardest granite, the obelisks were sculptured in intaglio filled with cement of various colours; which is probibly what our translators have meant by lead. These memorials brought into Europe by the Roman Emperors, the remains of excavated hills and sculptured rocks still extant in Eg-ypt. united with the accounts of the Greek historians, undoubtedly prove the antiquity of works similar to those in India. The characters en- graved on the portals of the excavated moun- tains in Hindostan, and the adjacent rocks, have very lately been deciphered. I copied several lines from the entrance of the caves of Canara, which were then pronounced obsolete, and past finding out; Mr Wilford has proved the con- trary. Possibly, in this enlightened age, the characters on the Arabian mountains may yet be explained.-Forbes's Oriental Memoirs. The following beautiful and touching passage

-¡; ) t. Hesiod divides mankind into three classes; those who think for themselves, those who let others think for them, and those who will do neither the one nor the other. The second class, however, comprises the great mass of society, and hence is the origin of party, by which is meant a large body of people, some few of whom think, and the rest talk. The former, who are called the leaders, marshal out and discipline the latter, teaching them what they must approve-what they must hoot at—what they must say-whom they must support; but,, above all, whom they must hate for no man can be a good partisan unless he be a determined and thorough-going hater. But when the sovereign people are thus properly broken to the harness, yoked, curbed, and reined, it is delectable to see with what docility and harmony they jog onward through mud and mire, at the will of their drivers, dragging the dirt carts of faction at their heels. How many patriotic mem- bers have I seen, who would never have made up their minds on any question, and might have run a great risk of voting right by accident, had they not had others to think for them and a leader to vote a ftei* Washington Irving.

[We cordially recommend the above extract to our Swansea and Merthyr liberal friends.] EFFECT OF PRUSSIC ACID UPON A RABBIT.—On Saturday week, Dr Robinson, of London, delivered the third of a series of dissertations on poisons, before the faculty,at the Maidstone Infirmary. The subject of the evening was principally corrosive sublimate, on the mode of detecting which the learned lecturer imparted some most valuable hints. At the conclusion of the dissertation the effect of prussic acid was tried upon a rabbit. Three drops were administered from a glass (the surface of which most probably abstracted half of the quantity), and the animal immediately exhibited the usual symptoms --increased action of the lungs, dilation of th« pupils, aud the peculiar shrill cry which in such cases is generally indicative of immediately approaching dissolution. In order to give it a chance of recovery, however, a few drops of ammonia were administered, without appareui benefit. A constant stream of cold water watt then poured upon the base of the skull and along the spine, when the animal very shortly exhibited symptoms of resuscitation. It was then wrapped in warm flannel. In a quarter of an hour it was sufficiently recovered to walk. Dr. Robinson had in a former lecture mentioned that this ipode of treatment had been discovered by accident. A cat, which had annoyed the apprentices of a chemist, was poisoned by them with prussic aoid. a 1111 thrown by for dead. By mere accident, however, it fell under a stream of water, which was pouring from a pump, the effect of which was its gradual resuscitation. Benefiting by this hiut, the same means have been since successfully applied to more than one hu- man subject who had taken prussic acid. No instance, however, had come within Dr. Robinson's knowledge where an animal had been restored after the symptoms which this rabbit exhibited and the singularity of the case struck the faculty as being one a knowledge of which it was desirable should be promulgated. The rabbit is now iu full health and rigour,

PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-MoNI)AY. This being the day appointed for the prorogation of Parliament by her Majesty in person, at an early lioiii- all the sti-eets leading to the Mouse of Lords began to assume a most animated appearance. By eleven o'clock the carriages of Peers and iii(j-e who bad been fortunate enough to obtain tickets from the Lord Chamberlain for admission into the body of the House or the Painted Chamber, began to arrive in rapid succession. The ladies were all dressed in deep mourning. The workmen, who were busily employed the whole of yesterday in laying down new matting '•arpets, and making certain alterations in the House and lobbies, did not complete their labours until nearly twelve o'clock to-day. The back of the throne has been covered with new scarlct cloth and V. I. substituted for W. IV. The Regiments of Horse Guards at one o'clock were stationed along; Pariiument-treet, and lined the road through which the Royal procession passed. Immediately afterwards the crowd increased at every moment, and the utmost anxiety was mani- fested to obtain a sight of the young Queen. About two o'clock a discharge of cannon announced that the Koyal cortege was approaching the House, and shortly afterwards it passed along Parliameni- street, in the same state as observed on former occasions. Her Majesty was most enthusiastically cheered by the assembled multitude. .,#I##,I'###'# "'I HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. The SPEAKER entered the House at half-past one o'clock, and was soon afterward" summoned by Sir Augustus Clifford, Usher of the Black Rod, to the House of Lord- to hear her Majesty's most gracious Speech on the prorogation of Parliament. _#I'##4># HOUSE OF LORDS.—THURSDAY. The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Lynd- hurst, Lord Wyndford, and other Peers assembled this morning at ten o'clock, when their Lordships gave judgement in a number of appeals, during which time several peeresses were present. Part of the gallery occupied by the public press was filled on the present occasion by the daughters of Peers, only one gentleman from each newspaper beiug allowed admission. The Queen having taking her seat on the throne, and the Commons appearing at the bar, her Majesty gave her Royal Assent to the Corporate Property (Ireland) Bill; the Church Building Commission Act Extention Bill; the Forgery Bill; the Punishment of Death Bill; the Bills of Exchange Bill; the Municipal Corporations Act Amemdment Bill; and several other Bills. Her Majesty afterwards read the following Most G racious Speech:— THE QUEEN'S SPEECH, My Lords and Gentlemen, U J have been anxious to seize the first oppor- tuuity of meeting you, in order that I might repeat in person my cordial thanks for your condolence upon the death of his late Majesty, and for the ex- pressions of attachment and affection with which you congratulated me upon my accession to the throne. I am very desirous of renewing the assur- ance of my determination to maintain the Protestant Religion as cstab'ished bylaw, to secure to all the freeexevcise of the rights of conscience, to protect the liberties, and to promote the welfare of all classes of the community. I rejoice that, in ascending the throne, I find the country in amity with all foreign powers, aud w ite I faithfully perform the engagements of the crown, and carefully watch over the interests of my subjects, it shall be the constant object of my solicitude to maintain the blessings of peace. Gentlemen of the House of Commons, "I thank you for the liberal supplies which you have granted for the public service of the year, as well as for the provision which you have made to meet the payments usually chargeable upon the civil list. "I will give directions that the public expenditure in all its branches be administered with the strictest economy. J'ly Lords and Gentlemen, In taking leave of this Parliament, I return you my thanks for the zeal and assiduity with which you have applied yourselves to the public business of the country. "Although your labours have been unexpectedly interrupted by the melancholy event which has taken place, I trust that they will have the beneficial effect of advancing the progress of legislation in a new Parliament. I perceive with satisfaction that you have brought to maturity some useful measures, amongst which I regard with peculiar interest the amendment of the criminal code, and the reduction of the number of capital punishments. I hail this mitigation of the severity of the law as an auspicious commencement of my reign. '< I ascend the throne with a deep sense of the responsibility which is imposed upon me; but Jam supported by the consciousness of my own right intentions,and by my dependence upon the protection of Almighty God. It will be my care to strengthen our institutions, civil and ecclesiastical, by discreet improvement wherever improvement is required, and to do all in my power to compose and allay animosity and discord. Acting upon these principles, I shall upon all occasions look with confidence to the wisdom of Parliament and the affections of my people, which form the true support of the dignity of the Crown, and ensure the stability of the Constitution." Her Majesty read the speech in a clear and dis- tinct tone. Her enunciation was deliberate and correct, and her voice being musical she made her- self heard without an apparent effort. Her de- meanour was at once graceful and dignified, and confirmed that prepossession in her favour which every one seemed to conceive on her first entering the House. The LORD CHANCELLOR declared it to be her Majesty's Royal will and pleasure that Par- liament should stand prorogued to Thursday, the 10th day of August next. Her Majesty then prepared to depart. As she descended the throne she turned towards the Ouchess of Kent, with a smile of confidence, and on retiring bowed in an affable manner to the Peeresses and Peers whom she passed. After her departure the lIoble assembly lingered for some time and conversed on the interesting, and, it may be added, affecting scene they had just wit- nessed. It drew forth but one universal expression of gratification and delight.

THE GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.—This great work, which was opened on the 4th inst., is pro- gressing most satisfactorily. The London letters, which are despatched at eight o'clock in the evening, arrive in Liverpool and Manchester at half-past eleven the following morning, the re- turn mail at half-past two in the afternoon, ar- riving in London at hal f-past six the following morn- ing. Thus, by the construction of this railway, one day is virtually saved in the transmission of intelligence to and from Lancashire and London. We hear also of persons travelling from Birming- ham at seven in the morning arriving at Liverpool or Manchester at half-past eleven, remaining seven hours, and returning to Birmingam the same evening. The 200 miles are travelled, and seven hours given to business or pleasure, in one day The receipts for passengers alone (for the com- pany has not yet begun to carry goods) during the first week exceeded E5,000, since which time they have gradually increased.—Morning Post. AN IRISHMAN'S APPEAL FOR NIEItCY.-The Irish recruits were, at first, the most unruly; Col. Hodges was their countryman, and the appeals occasionally made to his patriotism were most amusing. On one occasion a man was seized for drunkenness and insolence :—"A drumheaded Court Martial was instantly ordered, and the offender, much to his astonishment, ordered to receive one hundred lashes. A sort of innocent cat had been riggedollt, and he was tied to the capstan, and his shirt taken off. His address to Hodges amused me much, 'Sure, your honour, you won't touch a colialryitian ?-at laste you did not say so in Lon- don;' then at the first lash, 'Only think, I am your own townsman;' third lash, 'Only think of flogging one of your father's gentaelest tinantry!' still going on, 'Did Sir R. Peel think he would ever see my bare back, although he tried to put me injail-biit, for God sake, stop, dear landlord! What will Lord Goderich say to this he will never allow me to brush his coat.' Still no effect. He then turned round to one of the men, Now, Pat Griflin, you, the Colonel, and I, are all countrymen, use your own smooth tongue.' This had the effect on Hodges; the man was not hurt, and the power of punishment had been thus shown, which was absolutely neces- sary, as this morning a large reinforcement of Liberty boys had just arrived from Rye on board the Linnet,CQlmvl Shaws Memoirs*

'I THE FORTRESS OF CHRISTIANITY. 0- (From Eraser's Magazine.) At this inomeutous crisis, it is of great importance to have a few publications, ot' sterlitiz character and impressive eloquence, to place befure "lIeh of the constituencies as are honest and yet undecided, We have no hesitation in pniutiti £ out one of this description-The Fortress of Christianity, by the Rev. George Croly; a tract which, if it could be placed, within the next fortnight, in the hands of every elector of the United Kingdom, could hardly fail to render the result of the coming strng-rrle a glorious one. A part of this tract consists of that splendid preface to the Reverend Author's work on the Apocalypse, which has been already circulated, by many private persons issuing- editions, to the' extent of hundreds of thousands. But Dr. Croly has himself added to the authorised edition, lately published, a continuation of the retrospect, up to the present time. VY'e add a passage, that uo one of our reader's may be ignorant of its value: "These remarks were originally written on the eve of the year 1829. The Bill of that calamitous year replaced the Roman CatIclio in the Parliament, from which he had been expelled a century before, by the united necessities of religion, freedom, alldllatiollal safety. Tiie whole experience of our Protestant history had pronounced that evil must follow. And it has followed. From that hour all hn« been changed. British le,wistaiioii,has lost its stiil)'.Iity. England has lost alike her pre-eminence abroad, and her confidence at home. Every great institution of the state has tottered. Her Governments have risen, and passed away like shadows. The church in Ireland, bound hand and foot, has been flung into the furnace, and is disappearing from the eye. The church in England is haughtily threatened with her share of the fiery trial. Every remonstrance of the nation is insolently answered by pointing- to rebellion, ready to seize its arms in Ireland. Democracy is openly proclaimed as a principle of the state. Popery is" triumphantly predicted as the universal religion. To guide and embody all,-a new shape of power has started up in the IcgisJature,a nvw element at once of control and confusion; a central faction, which has both sides at its mercy; holding the country in contempt, while it fixes its heel on a cabinet trembling for existence; possessing all the influence of office with- out iis responsibility; and engrossing- unlimited patronaye for the purposes of unlimited domination. Yet these maybe 'but the beginning of sorrows.' But, if we give way to Popery, we ara.not with- out the most solemn warnings of Scripture. We have the apostolic declaration Let no man deceive you by any means; for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that MAN OF SIN be revealed, the son of perdition, who opposeth and t'xhaltelh himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped so that he, as God, sitteth in the tempteof Go,i, shewing himself that he is God. Aud then shall that wicked one be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming; even him whose coming is after the working of Satan, with all power, and signs, and lying wonders, with all deceivableuess of unrighteousness in them that perisli tiecause they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.' (2 Thessalo- nians, ii.) This gives the portraiture of the great deluder of the European world in his external and imposing- aspect. Another portraiture displays his internal eviI: — Now, the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducting spirits, and docirines of devils. Speaking lies in hypocrisy having their conscience seared with a hot iron forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving, of them which believe alld know the truth.' Ending with the solemn injunction to all teachers of Christianity, If thou put the brethren in rememberance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith, and of good doctrine.' (I Timothy, iv. 1.) "Finally, we have the denunciation of the prophet, declaring tlie Divine judgttients: 'And Isawauother angel come down front heaven, having great power; and tile earth was lightpned with his glory, And he cried mightily, with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils; the old of every foul spirit. And 1 heard another voice from heaven, saying. Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, (wd that ye receive not of her plaques. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered heriuiquities.' (Revelation, xviii.) *#*#» "But whatever may be the lot of those to whom error has been all inheritance, wo be to the man and the people to whom it is an adoption. If England, Iree above all other nations, sustained atuidst the trials which have covered Europe before her eyes with burning and slaughter, and enlightened by the fullest know ledge of Divine truth, shall refuse fidelity to the compact by which those matchless privileges have been given, her condemnation will not linger. She has already made one step full of danger. She has committed the capital error of mistaking that for a purely political question, which was a purely religious one. Her foot already hangs over the edge of the precipice. It must be retracted, or the empire is but a name. III the clouds and darkness which seem to be deepening upon all human policy, in the gathèrillg tumults of Europe, and the feverish discontents at home, it may even be difficult to discern where the power yet lies to erect the fallen majesty of the constitution once more. But there are mighty means in sincerity. And, if no miracle was ever wrought for the faith- less the country that will help itself—the generous, the high-hearted, and the pure, will never be left destitute of the help of heaven." One of our contemporaries has an elaborate

article for the purpose of defending the interference of the Clergy in the ensuing Elections. The duty of the Ministers of Religion, in this matter, as it appears to us, is too self-evident to require any argument to enforce it. And as to the com- plaint of ttie Whi; Radicals, on this subject, it is notorious that one recent appointment to the Bench of Bishops was owing to a personal interference at an Election, and the authorship 01 a political pamphlet. The following is an extract from the article -,tlltided to:- But when the interests of religion are directly attacked where the choice of representatives is between him who on the one hand is pledged to support those who foster Popery, encourage dissent, and legislate without reference to the Christian principles, and him who on the other is committed to the maintenance of true religion, uselnl learning, and the upholding of the ancient institutions of the country, where such is the alternative, there the interests of religion are concerned and wherever the interests of religion are at stake, there it becomes a duty in a clergyman to exert himself. Is the tithe property to be commuted for less than half its value? Shall the poor of a succeeding age no longer be heirs to have the Gospel preached to them without charge? and shall the clergy, who are the trustees and guardians of that property, look on with indifference, and take no interest in its preservation ? Shall the holy state of matrimony be put on an equality with legalised concubinage without ex- citing the indignation of every true lover of holy wedlock) and shall the clergy (who are the appointed guardians to maintain things sacred, secure from profanation) be the only persons who shall be applauded for their apathy ? Shall the poor be carried away frolll their homes and the premium of impunity be offered to the wily betrayer of femalecontidence f—and shulllhe clergy behold it with indifference? There is, indeed, one character mentioned in Scripture, of whom it is said that he cared for none of these things; but what clpnryman is there who would be a Gallio in the estimation of all good men, in order that he may humour his own natural love of indolence, or receive the encomiums of those who are set upon mischief'? With S icha view before us as that which we have represented, we have come to the conclusion that it is a duly in the clergy to come forward at the ensuing election "and openly to denounce legisla- tion without Christianity; fearlessly to declare that it is the language of the Bible Fear thou the Lord and the King, and meddle not with them that are given to change." It may suit the pur- poses of those who found their politics on principles of wordly expediency to represent the connection of royalty with religion as nothing more than the watch-word of a party, and stigmatise Church and King as a political toast but they whose politics are derived, not from the maxims of wordly expediency, but from the Word of Truth, will remember that the wise man of old and the Apostle of later times, connected royalty uiih religion, and bade those who reverence their precepts to preserve that connection vinsevered. On these principles the clergy will use all their influence at the ensuing election, no less than at other times, in support of royalty and true religion and inasmuch as they are "not to meddle with them that are given to change," we claim them as the guardians of Conservative principles, bound by the sacred word of truth, which they profess for their guide, to maintain and uphold the ancient institutions of the country.

relative to the Queen, is from a speech of Lord Francis Eg-erton, to the operative Conservatives of Bolton.—" I was present at the first act of her Majesty after her accession. For your sakes I wish you had all been there, though your loyalty requires no stimulus. But far more do I wish that those turbid and anarchical spirits had been there who are for ever bending their glasses towards the dim and dusty horizon of the future, in the vain hope of witnessing the good ship England foundering amidst the breakers of Republicanism. (Vehement cheer- ing.) I am sworn not to divulge the secrets of the Privy Council, uor spall 1. But, to continue, upon the occasion alluded to, and when the folding doors that separated her Mujesty from the Council were thrown open, she was seen sitting alone in the halls of her sires, and whose spirits it might be supposed t-fill hovered around, watching for the preservation of the constitution in which they gloried, and anxious to mainiain its noblest attributes, in upholding the dignity of the being to whom they have transmitted the fairest, highest, and greatest inheritance upon earth. (Cheers.) About her was the luxuriant foliage of the early summer—meet emblem of her dawning career, and significant enough, the trees themselves had been planted by William the Liberator. (Loud applause.) Here was this young and innocent Sovereign, the youngest, I believe, that ever sat upon the throne, except it was the Sixth- Edward, to whom we owe our Liturgy, one of the greatest benefits ever conferred. (Renewed cheers.) Her voice was attuned to resigned sorrow for the departure of one who has set her a gloriotis example. heard her read the speech in which -he declared her inviolable attachment to the Church, and I felt, and do still feel, most firmly assured that she never will entertain an idea of violating the oath she then took. It is for you to determine whether she shall be surrounded by those who would wish to lead her to the verge of its infringement. (Applause.) Long will the scene I then witnessed dwell in my memory. But there was another incident connected with it. When one knelt to kiss the royal hand, the tresses of her fair head (for ever be it lightly pressed by the crown of her fathers) mingled with the whitened locks of. Wellington. (It is impossible to describe the electric effectproduced on the audience by the recital of this anecdote. The whole company rose, simultane- ously cheered with their utmost might, and exhibited the most fervent enthusiasm. The crowd outside the building, ascertaining the cause of the unwonted shouts within, caught up the cry, which was re-echoed throughout the town for several minutes.) I then bethought me, continued his Lordship, that if ever foreign or domestic foe should again attempt to dictate to the Sovereign or to curb the liberties of the subject, there was Wellington, the impersona- tion of countless battles, the genius of the victories of England—there w" Wellington, scathed, it is true, but, thank God, leas by time than by the acquirement of his deathless renown—there was the old British warrior still strong to smite or to save. (Continued cheering.) The scene I then witnessed could never have been surpassed. Something, perhaps, like its parallel might be found in the instance of another female Sovereign, when the chivalry of Hungary appeared in arms in her cause. But those around our Queen were no vassal lords— no feudal chiefs—who owed a demanded allegiance through any species of villainage. He represented not the iuterests of serfs or slaves, but appeared for free-born subjects before the monarch of our choice ready to repeat the cry of the Hungarian Barons, Moriumur pro regina nostra Atexandrina Vic- toi-ia." (Loud cheers.)

PROCESSION OF THE QUEEN TO PAltLlA. MEVf. (From the Morning Herald, of Tuesday.) The morning of yesterday was one of intense, as well as most agreeable, excitement in this metropolis and its neighbourhood for many miles around. Before the hour of ten o'clock numerous groups were already assembled in the vicinity of the new (Buckingham) Palate, principally; but St. James's Park, throughout its whole extent, became gradually crowded with res- pectable persons, who were evidently anxious to express their loyal feelings to our youthful Qnecn, on the hrst grand public occasion of which her Majesty took advan- tage to show herself to her faithful Fople, and thus to gratify their anxious wishes. In the square facing Palace-yard and in Parliament Street, preparations had been made, and platforms raised, to accommodate the paying part of the public, which certainly appearedjvery numerous on this occasion. fly two o'clock the mass of people that had congregated in the line of the procession from Buckingham Palace to the House of Lords, amounted to-we are afraid to state how manv thOllsands-Lut this we can aver, that on no former occasion of this sort have we seen so many thousands of orderly and well-dressed persons assembled. Not only Whitehall, the Horse Guards, and the Trea- sury, were filled with the most respectable company of both sexes, but also the Colonnade in the Park and the houses of Carlton Terrace, were crowded with families of distinguished rank and members of the English gentry. The grand flight of steps close to the York column contained what appeared from below to be a close column of people upon an inclined plane. The fineness of the day gave all its power to increase the brilliancy of this animated and animating scene. At the instant her Majesty appeared outside the gates of the palace the most rapturous shouts of applause were heard on every side; the ladies waving their handkerchiefs, the gentlemen their hats. These accla- mations once begun were carried on as the procession moved through the Park to the parliament house. Her Majesty acknowledged these loyal demonstrations of -it affectionate people in the most gracious maimer. Sir F. Roe and two principal officers of Bow Street, were in close attendance near her Majesty's carriage. buth on going out and returning. The state apartments were lined by the yeomen of the guard, headed by the master of the checpie. The procession throughout was escorted by a squadron of the Life Guards, who bore themselves in a very. mild yet soldier-like manner through the entire day. At twenty minutes past two her Majesty entered the house, attended by the great officers of state. The anxiety to see her Majesty, on the part of persons who had admission tickets from the Lord Chamberlain's Office for the royal gallery, was testified by their early occupation of all the available room in that pas- sage. Before the construction of the present House of Lords, the painted chamber formed a portion, or con- tinuation, of this communication that, however, being now part and parcel of the house, the gallery remains short of its original dimensions, by between the top of the flight of stairs just at the entrance of the House of Lords, and which we should have called the door of the painted chamber. It still, however, remains uninter- fered with, in all the changes ivhicli have occurred in its vicinity; the same elegant, albeit elaborately, architectural structure, lit, or rather illumined, from its lanthorn-turret windows, whose amber light falling over a rich crimson carpetting, give a strikingly-rich and quiet grandeur to the whole place. Two lines of seats at each side of this g.allery,and some little room for slanders, were occupied fully before one o'clock, and their tenants had abundant gratification in observing the different distinguished men of the peerage as they came in, the various ambassadors and their suites, for they were all there, and the peeresses or other ladies, who were accommodated with seats in the house itself. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and suite were amongst the latter. The regalia were also brought in at this time under an escort of the battle-axe guard. Amongst the ambassadors we noticed Prince Esterhazy, with a nu- merous and splendid suite Count Pozzo di Bargo; General Sebastiani; the Turkish Ambassador, with four attaches; the American Minister the Spanish, the Swedish, Greek, Saxon, Chilian, Bavarian, Belgian, and Brazilian representatives. The position of these diplomatic dignitaries in the house was such as to enable them to see the procession as it moved up the royal gallery. Any observation, however, of the distinguished current which continued pouring along the passage was rather awkwardly interrupted a little after one o'clock, by a detachment of the Blues arriving to line at each side the path of the royal cortege. These troops, although with their rich uniform, bright cuirasses, and crimson plumes, they were highly ornamental, were anything but useful to the crowd. chiefly of ladies, whom they hemmed in. The fair spectators were, however, not to be baffled, and by standing on their seats, they ultimately gained a sufficient elevation to enable a full indulgence of their curiosity. The gallery presented a very brilliant sight at the time the Guards ranged closely together, four trumpeters at their head in state liveries, the heralds at arms ranged above these waiting till called to marshal in the young Queen, and the gentleman pensioners, in their -warlile trim, cock- feather plumage, and quaint partisans, carrying on the line of pegeantry up to the unfolded doors of the house. Meantime the members of the Ministry belonging to the Lords and the great officers of state, assembled under the direction of Lord Gwydir, the Lord Chamberlain, and about two o'clock proceeded towards the entrance of the gallery. By this time the mingled sounds of joy bells and shouting were heard from without, the latter of which progressively increasing in loudness, and comming in great successive peals, at length seemed to roll around the Parliament houses. A burst of God save the Queen," from the band below, and the simul- taneous report of artillery, announced that her Majesty had arrived. The Blues immediately came to atten- tion," and all was silence and eager curiosity. The heralds, in their gorgeous tabards, were presently seen winding slowly into the gallery then followed a nume- rous band of aides-de-camp and equerries, and then came her Majesty's Ministers (of the peerage), Lord Dun- cannon led the way; the Chancellor followed, bearing the seals, and accompanied by his mace-bearer, usher, and pursuivant. Lord Melbourne came immediately before her Majesty, having on one side the Marquis of Winchester, and on the other the Duke of Somerset, who subsequently carried the crown. Several officers of the household completed the corteye. The moment her Majesty entered the gallery the four trumpets of the guards broke forth in the simple but striking royal salute, and the troops presented arms. Every eye was fixed upon the youngs Queen, brought thus, for the first time, before her subjects at large, in this important ceremonial of her functions. Many ladies that we noticed near its, sympathising, as they fancied, with the highly-wrought feelings of her Majesty, wept outright. Bue her Majesty had a stouter heart. We noticed her Majesty closdy and with the deepest interest; her physiognomy was all simplicity, equanimity, kindliness, and good sense. She walked forward firmly and slowly, and although not tall, with regal port, unaffected. She sniiled gently upon, and bowed to those who silently saluted her, and with a quiet intelligence in her large pale blue eyes, and an expression of firmness derived from her upper lip being compressed so as almost to disappear behind the lower, moved gracefully along. Hcr Majesty's physi- ognomy is quite of our royal family, and somehow or other strongly reminded us partly of the Princess Charlotte, and partly of George the Third. Her Majesty wore a splendid crown or coronet of diamonds in her ears were exceedingly large pendants of the same precious quality; a tissue of brilliants seemed riticulated round the upper part of her dress, next her bosom, and were carried down to the waist in Il priceless stomacher. On the left arm we thought we perceived the garter, and on the right, an armlet to match of bright enamel and jewellery- Her gown was of white silk, richly figured, and trimmed below with a golden border. Her Majesty, in adition, wore a crimson velvet robe, which was supported by three boy pages. Her costume was, indeed, at once most magnificent, most elegant, and most chaste. Upon arriving at the end of the royal gallery, the cortege, instead of entering the House vf Lords, turned to the left to the Lord's waiting-room, and leaving her minis- ters, &c. there, passed with her ladies in waiting and maids of honour to the right of the gallery to her robing- room; and having there exchanged her cloak for one of much greater length, and gorgeously lined with ermine —in fact, the royal robe—having also assumed the rihhon and collar of the garter, returned to the waiting- room, and from thence returning to the loyal gallery, entered the House, Lord Melbourne carrying before her the swprd of state, the Duke of Somerset the crown im- perial, and the Marquis of Winchester the cap of maintenance. The doors of the Lords closed us the cortqe eu.lercd..
