She seated herself on a chair raised on a platform, surmounted by a spa cious elegant -blue canopy inlomed, With -feathent, • with Prince Albert on her left. They were ac companied by the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal. The court circle was nowerimpletely form ed, making a tableau never Kolbe forgotten. The, Queen looked remarkably well. She wore , the Uhler of the Garter, a pink brocade dress, shot with gold, and the Prince looked proudly happy. The . Duke of Wellington, whn'thierlay corriple e ted his eighty-second year, had been there nearly two hours,belore, and the Commissioners and all the officials and lad.es el the household surronding the throne preserved a scene of extraordinary splen . dor. The National Anthem was performed; -and the music produced a most delightful effect in the glass building.
