DIAMOND JUBILEE, Ilnekingham Palnoe, June 22.—Thelast of the procession is jut out of sight, and the roar of cheers that marked its course up Constitution hill tells the beginning of the stogy of the Queen among her people, while the artillery in Hyde Park, by a royal salute of six guns, are thundering the fact to waiting thousands elsewhere, started, and the � •� iactcall t d t ,u list Tho ut Y heertsu of thousands of insurance people and members of Lloyd's beat mole placidly as • they remembered the prem. iums on five millions of dollars that bad been wagered with them whether or not her Majesty would start. The Queen had started, and the h08rte of two millions of her people beat higher as they waited her coming. THE 100.0NL(11'11eeneste1. The procession was practically in three sections as far as St. Paul's, though the two were consolidated es they moved into Piccadilly. The first to take up position was the colonial procession, formed 013 the embankment, and moved via the Mall, thence past the Palace, where her Majesty viewed it from the window, over the route to St. Paul's. The marsh began at 8.41 and the great cartage proved a wel- come relief to the waiting multitude. For the colonies were Bente pictures, presenting in tnugible shape the growth of the Empire, the far reaching extent of the Queen's sway. The procession, after some police, was headed by an advance party of Royal 110x00 Guards. Then followed the band of the same, playing an inspiring march ; next came Lord Frederick Roberts,commanding the colonial troops, with Col. Ivor Herbert, of the Grenadier Guards, second fn coni• mood ; then the Canadian Hussars and the Dragooue of the North-west Police. In advance of the New South Wales Mounted Rifles came the NOW South Wales Lancers. Close upon the bond came a portion of the picturesque North. west Mounted Police, au escort to the first Colonial Premier, to win a great round of cheers from the men, and many welcome waved by WORM—the Hou. Wilfrid Laurier. The North-west police, men to whom evidently a saddle has never been a novelty, made a striking appearance, quite as brave and service. able looking as the New South Wales Mounted Rises, with their grey semi. sombre;o 1 m • and black sock nas who e P succeeded them, escorting the Premier of New South Wales. the Icon. S. H. Reid. The Victorian mounted troops followed, smart, weather beaten fellows, in unat. tractive brownish uniforms, ettoaeeded by the New Zealand mounted contingent, 11 fine looking, sun•bnrusd lot, drawn from almoet every town of any import- ance in the colony, displaying uniforms intended for the confiiot rather than the parade ground. Then came the Now Zealand Premier, the Hon. Richard J, Sedon, The Queensland Mounted Infantry came next, in their Nharkee tunics and scarlet faainge, and then the Premier of Queensland, Sir H. M. Nelson, X. C.M. G. For the moment Australia gave way, Africa was allowed a change and the Cape of Good Hope Mounted Rities, well set up men wearing the scarlet with the white helmets, rode by to herald the coming of the Cape Premier, the Hon, Sir J. Cordon Sprigg, K. C. M. G. Hardly bad he been noticed and to the majority unknown, when attention was claimed ter the yellowish brown I%harkee, /it with bright scarlet from the blazing puggaree on the spiked helmets, to the double stripes down the yearns of the lightly fitting eordnroy trousers with largo chamois leather patches, where the knee gr(rped the saddle, which nroolaim• ed the South Australian mounted troops.

The Premiers being disposed of, then succeeded a really mast attractive display —mounted troops of the crown coloniser, The Rhodesian horse, tin colonial infantry, broken by three betide, typical Of the United Kingdom, those of St. George's, the London Scottish and the London Nell Rifle Volunteer corps. The colonial contingent were a varied lot, from Blot of varied places—local militia of Hong hong, SIngapore, Ceylon, Mauritius, Jannaf0a, St. Lucia, Bermuda and the Itoyei Malta Artillery corps, attbmarin0 mining 11mpar1120 of the Royal Engineers. the West India Fortress Company of Royal Engineers, the Nest India Infantry Regiment, the Hong Siong Regiment and the Royal Malta Regiment of Militia. Then there passed a splendid contingent from Canada-- idfantry 176 strong, uniformed some. what like the regular service infantry, with CGI. Aylmer leacling. Much ap. please was bestowed on the fine marc)3. ing' of these men, who in every way kept the Dominion to the front. Following oam0 the real oddities in the eyes of the Londoners, of 3811)011 the lapti0hs from Cyprus divided the honors with the Dyadic of Dorneo. Both are military police, The Iaptiehe were mounted on (eland ponies, and natuarall y wore the Turkish fez, with a jacket somewhat suggestive of Constantinople and the minarets of Stamboul, The Dorneo Dyake, yellow-oolored, smallish (haps, were eagerly expected by the crowd, roving to their heed h'IP,tine prerli'Ities, of which, however, no trace Gould be noticed in their dress. These and others Doming after emphasised and repeated the fa0e how widely scattered are the a . races the Queen rtIle c. the Trhaidaci Field Artillery, the Sierra Leone 111110tia, with their strange small blue turbans and depending tassels and knickerbockers ; the British Guiana polios, with their white curtain caps, the Hussars iu the familiar Zouave costumes of long ago, and the Royal Niger Haueoo, men who fought et llarin and Bide, fu uniforms of Elaarkill cloth, trousers exposing the leg, and shaved heads, were all blaoks. The Haman, the blackest of the blaoke, wearing "the burnished livery of the Bun," were most enthusiastically greeted. The p000000iou ended as it began, ap. pfopriately, by defenders from the Dominion ---the balance of the North. west Mounted Police, a body of men Loudon has taken entirely to her heart. As they slowly disappeared under the summer trees the applause died away, and people enthusiastically congratulated each other on "what our 001011ie8 can do." 'rEE 21I0.1'0Ane resocee81o3. The seoond procession passed the palace fifty minutes after the colonials bad climbed Constitution Hill, Formed in Totou Square and Sloane street, it more than eloquently filled up the picture of Britain's war strength 1 more than magnificently completed the carnival of gnretous 0osttune and Dolor. Starlet anis blue anti gold, white and yellow ; shining mimeses and polished helmets ; plumps and tassels ; furs and gold and silver spangled clothe ; bullion embroideries end accoutrements; splendid trappings and more splendid trappings fur men ; sashes and stars, er0eeee and medals— medals for the Crimea, India, Seringa- patmn, the Nile, Ashanti, Afghanistan, Chitral South Africa, China and dozens of others, and here and there the finest of them all—the finest and most highly prized the world can show—the Victoria Cross ; death -dealing weapons, swords and revolvers, 0arbines and cutlasses ; batteries of artillery ; men of splendid physique, and horses with fere Notion, fully entered into the spirit anis meaning of it all ; the fondly carried colors for which these men would die, stud over all the tech strains of that mnsie they best loved to hear—the sight was cue 10 stir the blood as only soldiers have stir- red it sinal the dawn of time. As the soldiers %vetted out of sight to wait for the Queen's pr00eseion on Coustitution Hill it seemed like nothing so much as one stream of burnished gold flowing between dark banns of human beings gathered to witness its passage 10 a land of light. 1112 QUEEN AT LAST The Empire has passed le review, the army and navy had been shown in its panoplied strength, the head of it all was now to come, Her Majesty. The Royal procession proper was formed as regards its military portion in front of the Heights' Bridge Barracks, Hyde Park, and marched round by Bslgrave Square to the palace, where it took up position at ten minutes to eleven, and was inter- woven with the arowd of waiting digni• taries of all sorts. When ready it moved to join in the rear of the military proses. Sion, First crime the aidos•de-oamp to the Queen. Then followed along the Lord• Lieutenant of London, Itis Grace the Duke of Weetmineter, X. G., in a Lord - Lieutenant's dress. The Duke was fol. lowed by a glittering cavalry of officers. Next cisme three officers of the auxiliary forces in attendance on 13. R. H. the Prince of `Vales, one hundred equerries, the naval and military attaches in alphabetical order beginning with Austria and ending with the United State,, fol- lowed by General NelsonMiles, represent. ing the United States army, and General Lagron, representing President Foare.. Then carne the special envoys in landaus. In the first carriage were the repressnta• tivos of Costa Rios, Chilli and Greece ; in the second Paraguay, Peru, Bertha, and Central America ; in the third, Mexico, Uruguay, Guatemala and Brazil; in the fourth, China, Belgium, Holland, and the Papal envoy ; in the fifth, the envoys of the United States, France and Spain. The crowd now began to show more eager interest in the approaching vehicles. They' were nearer and neater to the Queen. Five road landaus, painted lilts those that had just vanished, only horsed by four horses, four with bays, and the fifth with the Dutch blacks of the Royal menet, appeared litst. Tho occupants of these landaus wore ;— First carriage—Lady. in.Waiting t0 the Princess of Wales, Chamberhein to Empress Frederick, Lord•in-Waiting to the Queen, Chamberlain to Prinaese of Wales.

As the 101111liar faces passed, many and loud were Ills m•nntin"4. The colonial esoort came next, drawn from 011 the colo les, the Cauadlaft con. litigant representing ahnost all of the Proviucoe. Then the first part of the Sovereign's escort rode into view, the Second L' Pe Guards, As their well known brilliantiant uniform's appeared, the whisper ran oleo• triesttly, "She's (mining I" Tho Guards were soon outmoded by the °score of the British and foreign Princes. Mazy faces were known, recognized and oheered. This brilliant escort Wae composted of the flower of Europe's thrones. Following the Princes carne the Guard of Honor, twenty.ttvo ofleere of naval Indian cavalry corps, men of fine physi- que, picturesque uniforms and strange faces. But for these the crowd had few eyes ; for the oommander•in-ebief, who followed behind them, none. They could see the Queen's horses—it was 111e Queen at last. TEE ROYAL 0Annrl010. A cheer broke forth that seemed to rend the ground, renewed [gain and again as Ger Majosty'e carriage approach- ed. Tho famous eight Hanoverian Oreams, cream in color, with long toile, white, cold, almost lish•like eyes end pini; noses, their manes richly woven with ribbons of royal blue, were now passing. Gorgeous they looked in their new state harness, saddle oloths of royal bice velvet with rich fringes of bullion, the leather work red Morocco above and biuG , one beneath,glittering every- where o where with the Royal rms, the lion, the uuieorn, the crown, in gold literally, the harness of pomp and color and brightness, just such nn effect as the heroio knights of Elizabeth's time made in their pano- ply. The liveries of the postillions were in keeping with the harness, and had cost 3 (100 apiece—the scarlet and gold coats, white trousers and riding boots. For once since the Prince Consort's death the Queen permitted the mourning baud to bo removed from the men's arms. There was no note of sorrow. The carriage in whi011 Her Majesty rode now mune abreact. It proved to be what is known at the Royal Mews as "No. 1. plain posting landau," a carriage with a light running body, built about a quarter 0f a century ago, and of w11i011 lier Majesty is known to be very fond. The body was dark claret, lined with vermillion, the mouldings outlined with beads of brass. Bross beads decorated the rumble, the body loops and lamp irons wereilt. The wheels and under. works were vermillion, with heavy lines of gold. Beside Her Majesty sat the Princess of Wales, while the Princeas Christian sat opposite Her Majesty. On the left of Her Majesty rode H. R. H. the Duke of Cambridge. On the right H. R. II. the Prince of Wales, who was fol- lowed by the Duke of Connaught, the general officer commanding. .1T 8100PLB 11.0. Royal Law Courts, Jun. 22, 11,4(1 a. m.—The boundary of the faithful oily has been crossed by Her \lajesty, who has received the ancient stately homage from her chief megistrltte, Thoframe in which the picture was set was character- istic, picturesque. On own side of the broken gray pile of the hew courts rose from portieres of legal luminaries most of her ].Majesty's judges in their splendid robes and full bottomed wigs ; Q. C's. galore, in more sombre silk and less voluminous horse hair ; ladies in (harm. ingtoilettes, and every window filled wih eager faces. Opposite the red build. lege and the entrance t0 the Temple were filled with spectators in bunches Hee so many boquets, and as gorgeous. The griffin was profusely decorated. The Lord Mayor and the city oflioials, on horseback, arrived ten minutes before the Queen wee due, and very striking was their appearance, Sir Feudal -Phil. Ips wore the Earl's robe to which Lord Mayors are entitled when crowned heads visit the city—a cloak of rttby Bilk velvet, lined with white silk and edged with er• mine. The robe is idenbioal with the coronation robes of Peers. Sheriffs llitahie and Rogers wore the Sheriff's velvet court dress, scarlet gowns and chains. The "very° goodlye sword," known as "Queen Elizabeth's pearl sword," presented to the corporation by the Maiden Queen ab the opening of a Royal Et010nga, A. D. 1070, was carried by the Lord Mayor.
