Wiis Nazery Bishop. Wiuam H. Jones Seeretary, An American in England. Grace Greenwood, a lady of great liter- ary repute, who is now travelling in Eng- land, writes home to the National Era, a very interesting description of the cermonies, at the late prorogation of Parliament by Her Majesty, under date of London July 7,1852, Anextract from her communica- tion we insert below. " At eleven o'clock on the morning of the Ist we set forth to witness the prorogation, which was to take place at two o'clock. Yet though so early, we found others before us, and were obliged to wait in our carriage for more than half an hour before we could enter the House of Lords. seat was oue most desirable, both for seeing the brilliant assembly and the august cere- mony ; it was one near the throne, yet com- manded a view of every part of the splendid chamber, The gallery was soon filled with ladies, all in full dress, jewels, lowers, and plumes. Many of the seats of the Peers were also filled by their noble wives and fair daughtesr most superbly and sweetly arrayed. Oh! the glory of those gorgeous brocades, rival- ling the blue of Italian skies, the green of|S English fields. the bloom of Cashmere's roses, the purple and gold of American sun- sets! Ol! the exquisite beauty of flowers, fit to make Flora die of envy, and outdoiny Nature in athousand unimaginable forms Oh ! the soft drooping-downiness of cost- ly plumes! Ob! the proud flashing, the' inestimable splendor of old hereditary jewels --the sapphwe, which seems to enshrine some serene, celestial soul--the emerald, restless with some imprisoned spirit of the "vasty deep'--pearls of such liquid purity as the white beaded foam shaken from the locks of Venus--rubies of joyous, luscious richness, like wine-drippinys trom the gob- let of Bacchus--garnets of a deep, dark, less festive than sorrowful hue, as they were hardened blood-droops from the heart of Niobe--and diamonds, giving outa haughty regal gleum, as they were frozen tears, trom anyered Juno's eyes, As a matter of course, I saw many of the fairest specimens of Unglish aristovracy-- women of strung and healthful, yet delicate and clegant organigation--women of refined expression and high bred air, whose noble Ifouud that my |- blood showed itself, not alone in their proudly-borne head and delicate hands, but was eloquent in every motion, But, as a faithful chronicler, I must add, that there were some, whom, were it not for their wearing the titles and coronets of ladies, an " outside barbarian, " like myself, would be in danger of confounding with the vulgar herd--some who neither wore their lady- hood regnant on their brows, nor revealed its softness and grace in manner and move- ment ; soit is well that the " Red Book" is explicit on the point of their claims-- Among those conspicuous for elegance and lovoliness were the young Duchess of Nor- thumberland and Lady Clementina Villiers, the famous court beauty. 'That most mag- nificent of matrons, the Duchess of Suther- land, was not present. 'Toward one o,clock the Peers began to come in fast, clad in their crimson robes of state. They are a noble and retined-looking set of men, taken asa whole; but some there are so decidedly plebeian in the outward, one on beholding them recalls old stories of cradle exchanges or feels amazed at the measureless assur- ance ef Nature, in fashioning of common clay vessels of such honor--in making the patrician flesh and blood so maryellously hike the beef-fed physique of the people. The Duke of Cambridge has a rotundity of figure, and a full-bloodedness and full-moon- iness of face, more aldermanic than majestic. But few eyes dwelt on his royal highness, when there entered, at the left of the throne, a white-haired old man, pale and spare, bowed with years and honors, the hero of "| many battles in many lands, the conqueror--- *| the Duke! Leaning on the arm of the fair -| Marchioness of Douro, he stood, or rather tottered before us--the grandest ruin in England. He presently retired, to don his ducal robes, and join the royal party atthe entrance, by Victoria tower. The pious bishops, in their sumptuous sacerdotal robes, made a goodly show before an ungodly world. The judges came, in their black gowns, and in all the yenerable absurdity of their enormous wigs. Mr. Justice Tal- fourd, the poet, a small ,modest-looking man was quite extinguished by his. The foreion ministers assembled, nation after nation,ma- king, when standing or seated together, a most peculiar aud picturesque group. A more gorgeous richness and variousness of costume Inever beheld. 'They shone in all colours, and dazzled with stars and orders, and jewel-hilted swords. The red Greek cap, richly wrought with gold, sat jauntily on olive browsand raven locks, while high above all towered the ugly black hats of the Persian envoys. Our minister, Mr. Law- rence, was dressed with a quiet, simple ele- gance, becoming the representative of a re- public. ' In the gallery, near me, sat the little Indian princess, lately admitted into the English Church, with the Queen for a sponsor. She isa pretty, bright-looking child, and was then literally loaded with jewels. Op- posite her sat the handsome and ponderous prince, her father, Said Pasha. He was magnificently dressed--girded about with a superb India shawl; and diamonds, for the least of which many a hardrun Christian would sell his soul, gleamed above his swart brow, like stars amid dusk evening clouds. Lord Redesdale took his seat on the wool- sack, and some business was despatched in a hurried and indistinct way. Soon after two o'clock, the guns announced the arrival of the royal procession; and in a few mo- ments the entire House rose silently to re- ceive her Majesty. The Queen was conducted by Prince Albért, and accompanied by all the great officers of state. 'The long train, borne by ladies, gentlemen, and pages, gave a certain stateliness to the short, plump, little person of the fir sovereign, and she bore herself with much dignity and grace. Prince Albert, it is evident, has been eminently handsome, butis now getting stout, andis a little bald. Yet he isa man of right noble presence. Her Majesty isin fine preservation, and really a pretty and lovable-looking woman. I think I never saw anything sweeter than her smile of re- cognition, given to some of her friends in the gallery--to the little Indian Princess in especial. There is much in her face of pure womanliness and simple goodness, yet is it by no means wanting in animated intelli- gence, Inshort, afterseeing her, I can well understand the loving loyalty of her people, and can heartily join in their prayer of "God save the Queen!" Her Majesty wore a splendid tiara of bril- liants, matehed by bracelets, necklace, and stomacher, Her soft, brown hair was dres- sed quite plainly, rolled in the heck, as for riding. Her under-dress was of white satin, striped with gold; her over-dress was, of course , of crimson velvet, trimmed with gold and ermine. , After desiring the Lords to be seated, the Queen commanded that her " faithful Com- mons" should be summoned, The mem- bers of the Lower [fouse are only allowed a narrow, ignoble space, railed off from the Chamber, under'the gallery, opposite the throne. Into this they soon came hurrying and tumbling, with a sad want of aristocra- tie dignity and parliamentary decorum, While the Speaker was reading his tor- mal speech, I looked round upon the scene, striving to stamp it indelibly upon my mem- ory. 'Tle yast chamber it self, gorgeous in crimson and gold, frescoes rich and historic, carving exquisite beyond deseription--the pride and loveliness of England's aristocracy --splendidly attired and decorated officers of state, of the army, and of the royal house- hold, grouped about the throne, and her upon the throne. Throughont the reading of the speech, her Majety listened with a cold, quiet man- ner, sitting perfectly motionless, even to her fingers and eyelids. 'The Iron Duke, stand- ing at her left, bent and trembled slightly, supporting, with evident difficulty, tie pon- derous sword of state. Prince Albert sit- ting, tall and soldier-like, in his handsome field-marshal's uniform, looked nonchalant and serene and only needed his meerschaum, to make up a perfect picture of German pla- cidity. 'The Earl of Derby held the crown onits crimson cushion, gracefully, like an ccomplished waiter presenting an_ ice, That crown smote on the eye, with its intolerable brightness. The wondrous, cost- ly jewels seemed to throb with life,the undy- ing life of light. Oh, immortal stones ! on how many scenes like this have ye looked, with your cold, gleaming eyes, mocking alike the proud flash in the bold eyes of mighty kings, and the smiling light in the gentle eyes of fair queens--inocking, indeed all the passing power and the, perishing glory ye are meant to adorn and emblazon, and the mournful mortality, the deathward throbbing, o: the brows ye encircle. After the reading of this speech, certain bills were read to her Majesty, for her assent, which she gaye each time with 'a gracious bow, shaking sparkles from her diamond tiara, in dew-drops of light. Atevery token of royal acquiescence, a certain personage, whom I took for a herald, bowed low to- ward the Queen, then performed a similar obeisance toward the Commons, crying ina harsh, an utterly indescribable voice--* La Reine le veut.' This ceremony gone through with, the Lord Chancellor, kneel- ing at the foot of the throne, presented a copy of the royal speech to the .Queen, which she proceeded to read in a manner perfectly simple, yet dignified, and ina voice siugularly melodious and distinct. Finer reading I never heard anywhere ; every syllable was clearly enunciated, and the emphasis fell with unerring precision upon the right word. 'Che Lord Chancellor haying formally an- nounced that Parliment stood prorogued until the 20th of August, her Majesty rose as majestically as could be expected of one more remarkable for rosy plumptitude than regal altitude. Prince * Albert took his place at her side--the crown-bearer took his in front=trainbearers took theirs in the rear ; the royal procession formed, swept slowly forth, the brilliant House broke up and followed, and so the splendid pageant pas- sed away--faded like a vision of poetry or a fairy enchantment. Most of us were obliged to wait a long time in the ante-room before we could gain the staircase, where our carriages were an- nounced, because of the mighty inward rush of the people from the corridors caver to get within sight the empty chamber, so lately glorified by the presence of nobility and sanctified by the breathings of royalty. It was in vain that gentlemanly ushers waved the official rod, and strove to preserve order--in vain that awful policemen, pale with shocked loyalty, shouted, " Make way for the Peers aud Peeresses '--the curious crowd came surging in, and the' bonneted wives of citi- zens elbowed the corqneted wives of Dukes, and tradesmen got entangled inthe ermin- ed robes of Peers. One poor old man was rudely jostled against me; I looked up commiseratively into his faze, and it was the Duke of Wellington! It was four o'- clock ere we reached home, and yet we were by no means the last to get away.-- Mr. K., who accompanied me, beheld, by choice, the procession from the outside, which he tells me was maynificent beyond all description," Le The last discoveries of gold in Ca- nada, are at Mount Pleasant, near Brant- ford, as reported by the Brantford 'Courier, and in a garden up Church street, in this city, according to public rumor.
