A detachment of Life Guards issu. nil, announcing, as it were, the approach of the members of the royal family. The ex crement of the crowd increased. Thu Duch ess of Kent, whoso relations towards our youthful Sovereign naturally rendered her an nhjoet of peculiar interest, was loudly cheered. A considerable space of lime was occupied by the passugo of the t.iueeu's two ve carn ages. During Ibis interval every eye was anxiously turned towards the gateway, in the * hope of descrying the well known cream-col ored horses m the state carriage. At length after the rapid passage of a brill ant military staff, and the slow parade of the Vuonicn o', the Guard in their fantastic but rich costume, the stave coach emerged from the archway. The band of tire ntlcs, instantly struck up the national anthem; mid the enthusiiHin of ihe multitude at. once displayed itself in u burst of cheering wh-ch almost drowned the sound ot the innate. The carnage ptoceeded nl a lot nrohly quick pace. Her Majesty had passed; then the long lines weso instantly broken. Fur some distnco from (lie triumphal urcli, the whole of the previously open space presented a sea of heads, out ol which were to ho seen rising, here mid there above the general level, the scarlet coals anil glittering cuirasses of a lew lifo-guardsmen About twenty in mile? past ten the bead ol j the cavalcade made Us appearance at. the lop offcSt. James’s street, ami I lie splendid array sDoii descended the declivity of that street in admirable order.

A detachment, of the 10 h hussars and and part of the Otlr carbineers, formed n crj scc-ni from the Union Club house down lo tho statue of King Charles, and a further division again beyond that, so a? to complete tho por. r.ion of the circle, ihu whole of the interven ing spaces being densely crowded. From tlio nature of the pout mu of Trafulgar-eqnure, and its distance from lire line of the proccs *don, U was not wholly occupied, but the lionl ago had various temporary scaffoldings which were completely filled. Tlio Union Club-house was surrounded by an exterior temporary gallery, which was filled to the brim with elegantly dressed females. The band of tlu fnh carbineers was stationed next the statue, but noln note was produced from thuir instruments until her Majesty’s anival which appeared to create considerable disappoint ment. The multitude of persons, occupying the (-round from King Charles' statue lo lliccn. Mar tin’s lane and Strand barriers, was immense. The roof of !be National Gallery an.) Sr. Marlin’s Church, mid those of tho iiouses in Trafalgar square, and on either side of Charing cross, as well as a considerable distance np the Strand, were covered with spectators. I he p occasion armed opposite (lie Horse Guards and Whitehall palace precisely at twenty minutes lo eleven.

Her i Majesty exhibited no symptoms of fatigue or in • - disposition, , Nothing indeed could lictnore complete in con- j veniencc and splcnrlor than the new works in the ; abbey. Tliey have all the appearance of stability, j j as if no wmk of u day. it wo suppose the wc»- j tern nave cut oil’ by tbe organ screen, all tbe rest | ; ol the building is dedicated id the purposes of tbe 1 l coronation—viz., Ihc choir, (lit transept*, and the j i eastern nave The square portion ol the indicated area, is j elevated tighter ten leet above the pavement ol 1 1 tbe building, from whence it is attainable by two j flights of steps, one of six, springing from the i I archway henealh the great organ galloty and tho ! I remainder immediately surrounding it, and giving it, consequently, thu character of a dais, upon which the final ceremonies of 'he coronation arc 1 performed. This dais is covered with a peculiarly t rich I’etsiaii carpel of a mulberry color, spotted j - with a golden yellow, and at its centre stands the j • chair of state, placed on a special elevation, co ) vered over with elollt of gold. Occupy this sa cred spot (or a moment. Look round with ns . and see what has been done. First, then, 10.- wards the west, or organ screen, a vast gallery as- ( cortds, in test above real, until the spiracles of the , new organ seem to approach the almost unatlain . able height ol tire groined arches of the old buil ding. The drapoiy of this gallery is almost all [ ol crimson clulh, and its wood work of the nea . test Hodiic design, gill in every instance. The ] I front of the organ is ornamented with a very ele- I gmt light tracery, and,nil the music stands pre terit to the spectator gilt figures ol angels. Now, ’ lorn we to the altar immediately facing this gab lory, and over it spring two galleries, one from the top of (bo other, and of on almost alarming ' alt it u Jo. They were also both tilted nji in crim son cloth, the lower being occupied by the mem bers of the House of Commons. I.VTmtinn or the Cnoin.—The scene in the interior ol the choir was surpassingly grand and interesting. The fair and youthful sovereign of the greatest empire in the world, was here to have the solemn sanction of religion given to that crown which lias descended to her ns her rightful inheritance, with the joyous ConCurience of a de voted people. J he altar displayed a large quantity of massive gold (date. Directly in front of it was King Ed ward’s choir, lichly guilt, and lower down in the same line, was the faldstool, covered with purple velvet.

His presence I ' excited a lively interest. He was dressed in the i full uniform of a field marshal. When the Tur ; kisli ambassador presented himself, he looked round on all sides os if lost in admiration, and re- I tnained for some minutes iniiovubly fixed on the magnificent scene. The drosses worn by some of the high function aries of the Austrian and Russian legations were costly and splendid even to the very profusion of t expense. Frineo Eslorhiizy appeared in the uni form of an officer of the Hungarian hussars, and Ihc whole ol it blazed all over with brilliants.— In tbe ambassadors’ box Frineo Schwarcnberg took Ids seal on the front bench, to the extreme i left, having the French ambassador, Count Sehas- i liani, on his right, immediately behind whom sat i i Marshal Moult.
