Previous to the Levee, there was a Chapter of the most illustrious order of St. Patrick ; iltpii the Marquis of Clanricarde was knighted as an extra knight of time order. Time same ldglm honour was conferred on the Earl of Charlemont ; and Ulster King. of Arms announced the election of the Marquis of Downshire, and of the Earl of Llandaff, also to be extra knights. After the Chapter of St. Patrick had been dis- solved, a Chapter of Knights Grand Crosses of the Bath was held ; at which General Sir R. C. Ferguson was invested with time order of Grand Cross : Sir Ronald was previously a Knight Companion. An immense number of ItetOrm addresses front varimis parts of the king- dom besides those mentioned above, were presented at the Levee.

On Thursday, the King- prorogued the Parliament in person. The preparations for this ceremony were made at an early hour. By twelve o'clock, the upper part of Whitehall, and Parliament Street, as air as the door of time House of Lords, were lined with a strong body of Police ; and about one o'clock the Police were joined by a detachment of the Horse Guards, who were sent for the same purpose. There was not, however, the slightest occasion for the services of' either civil or military power. The streets were more peaceful and regular than we ever saw them on a similar occasion. A good deal was doubt letiS I lite to the number of spec- tators ; which was not half so large, we should imagine, as it ins !median several occasions dnring the present reign. If the line of approach to the House, including the Park, contained above seventy or eighty thou- sand people, we are very much deceived Something of the comparative slackness was due to a misapprehension of the day of prorogation, which had been by many set down for Friday ; something perhaps was due to a fear of disturbance. It struck us that there were not nearly so many females as usual in the crowd, ;old of well-dressed females there were hardly any. The interior of the House of Lords is described by the Herald as exhibiting an equally scanty display of fashion and beauty with the exterior ; time Times, on the con- trary, says there were more Peeresses than usual present ; and offers a seemingly conclusive proof, in the fulness of the side-galleries, which are still standing. Not having been favoured with tickets of admission to the show, we cannot pretend to decide between these conflicting wit- nesses. Precisely at two o'clock, the bells of St. Margaret's Church rung out, and the cannon gave note of the departure of the King from the Palace ; and at twenty minutes past two, the repeated boom of the guns told of his arrival at the House of Lords. his :Majesty was ushered into the House by Earl Grey and the Lord Chancellor. He looked—in this all the journalists agree—uncommonly well.

There was a Court at four o'clock, in order to receive the Recorder's report ; and in the evening his Majesty gave a spleudid entertainment to the Grand Duchess Helena and a large amid fashionable party.

The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria are again at Clare- mont. Their Royal Highnesses visited his Majesty yesterday. At four o'clock yesterday their Majesties left town for Windsor.
