The King gave his subjects antoppo rtunity of seeing our Prince and Princess last night at a concert in Christianborg Palace. Everyone of note, or who had the least oonnexion with the visitors from England, was present. It was a very brilliant assemblage, with nothing omitted that could invest the scene with courtly pomp. Cuirassed Life Guards upon the staircase, Grenadiers with bearakins in red uniform in the'lobby, royal servants with scarlet livery, some of them wearing hats profusely decorated with dowers, were to be seen in all directions. The diplomatic circle, with stars and ribbon', was fully represent;( bevy of fair ladies, dressed as if foils displaying ostrich plumes nor trains,' ..dzialz stantial beauty to the decorated throng. There was no lack of Danish statesmen and soldier, wearing different gay-coloured costumes; of British naval officers, with large epaulettes and glistening medals ; of, in fact, each particle proper to such a crowd, which, taken together mill lighted up in a handsome suite of rooms, produced an effect that was both picturesque and dazzling. Any careless observer brought thither without previous knowledge of Denmark's losses and dis asters might have fancied himself for a moment in the palace of a victorious monarch, whose dominions were respected by his greediest neighbours. And yet there was grave anxiety on many faces scarcely concealed by the smiles of loyal welcome. Hospitable thoughts, the pleasure ofja family re-union, and that outer mask of cheerful ness always required in great persona, did not, I fancied, hide King Christian's inward sorrow and regret. A hearty greeting to the young couple that are visiting him, with a father's natural pride in child and grandchild, have given momentary brightness to the Danish court ; but serious goes ' tions remain unsettled, peace is not definitively con cluded, there are earnest petitiouinga from North Sleswig which cannot safely be answered, and threats from Germany of what will follow if the Danes hesitate to accept their conquerors' terms. I must check this sober line of reflection, true enough to make many faces grave amid last night's festivity, but likely to disappoint your readers,who having been conducted to a royal concert-room,may wish for further details instead of gloomy reflec tions. A murmur running through the groups that filled the furthermost chamber, a wide-flung opening of the doors, and a stir in the circle of diplomats, an nounced his Majesty's arrival. The Prince and Princess of Wales, the Queen, and other members of his family, accompanied him. My power of describing such matters will not enable me to do justice to the dresses that were worn by her Majesty and the Princess of Wales. I can only say that the Princess appeared in mauve colour, with the simplestpossible coiffure, and that the Queen wore very fine diamonds. Princess Dagmar, whose engagement to the Czare witch has afforded so much ground for political speculation, was dressed in white, looking extremely pretty, as she always does. Our Prince had on a Hussar uniform, with a light blue scarf of the Order of the Elephant. Curiosity, quiet and polite, though decidedly eager, mounted tiptoe when the King brought his eon-in-law and the Queen her daughter slowly round the room from opposite sides, bowing and conversing on their way with the front rank of spectators. I heard no more whispers of " Which is M'Clintock !" "Which is the Arctic explorer is' for attentionwas nowcoucentrated upon the English Prince. People looked with affection towards their own graceful Alexandra, but her young husband excited immense interest amongst the Danes. Had the baby been preseut he would probably have cut out both Prince and Princess as a popular favourite. After passing round the furthermost room, where stood chiefly ladies and diplomatists, the royal party entered a hall that had rows of chairs across it, with an orchestra at one end. Here King Christian and his family were seated on the first line of chairs, whilst dames and demoiselles anon occupied the space behind. Gentlemen had to find standing ground along the side, or to jostle each other—like non-dancers at a ball—in the doorway. Instrumental music was succeeded by national songs ; the Bardesang of St. Olaf, "En Summer dag " and "Tycho Brahe's Farvel " were spiritedly given, the programme concluding with a piece addressed to the Princess of Wales, and a lullaby to the infant Prince sung in chorus with great effect. Then the band, that had once touched very lightly upon the English anthem, wound up with a fine rendering of Mendelssohn's "Wedding March ;" "almost too loud," some critics remarked, "for the size of the apartment." As a whole this concert was good ; the company rose—l speak of such as bad been able to find a seat—well pleased, and followed his Majesty into the Christhuiborg banquetting hall. Supper was laid upon long tables on either hand, with a circular board in the middle. Those who were not too busily at work in the practical part of the business could move freely about the tables and observe royalty, whether king or prince, queen or princes, to their heart's content ; could see who was introduced to this one or to that, and could hear touch of what was said. The O'Leary organizer of the Alexandra Guard was kindly greeted by his Majesty, and was presented to the Prince of Wales. Stout old soldiers and hardy sailors were to be seen, having net only re freshment iu form of supper, but courteous recogni tion from those for whom they fought. I encoun tered several military figures that had been familiar to me during the war, albeit they were partially disguised by gala uniform. De Meza was present in the beginning of the evening, Gerlach and Stein mann remained until its close. Nor must these names be considered as a complete summing up of the leaders that were gathered in Clits , tianborg. For a peaceful occasion I ought rather to have chosen politicians to name especially, though you at a distance will perhaps excuse me if I leave the catalogue untold. The departure of the royal family gave the signal for retiring to their guests. Carriages were called, a distinguished crowd stum bled itself and caught cold on the staircase, or breaking away as independent units walked home [ through a boisterous windy night. 3 r. w. There was to have been a review to-day on the meadows beyond the North Gate. Regulars and burgher train bands were under arms, sight-seers were afoot, the public expected a treat in way of marches and manceuvres ; but it became known about an hour ago that no review would take place ; the troops returned to their quarters, and the sight-seers were disappointed. I trust that a report that King Christian is ill has no foundation. Less alarming rumours set forth the state of the weather as reason for this cheap of plea. HOLIDAY HARING ABROAD. (nom • 00103. Barr. 15, Call Donlan ha i py i till he dies, and let no traveller cool/m*lllM. hi - upon fine weather untiltheeod of his journey. Should he be weak eno hto do so, let him bear in mind the warning as to boosting on the donning rather than the doffing of armour, and beware accordingly. The clouds scarcely 1 bigger than a man's hand which were to be seen bovenog about the summits of the Rigi and Mount Pasties last Sunday afternoon were the heralds of a downfall, and the forerunners of the first—if dili gence drivers are to be believed—heavy Alpine snow-storm of the year. Half au hour changed the aspect of Lucerne from a smiling paradise to a moist, misty, and turbulent Inferno, wherein out door walking was impossible, and imprisonment in your mu an inevitable necessity. Misanthropy and despondency took the place of the jocund light heartedness of the afternoon, and the most vindic tively spiteful feelings were openly indulged in. Our hopes for a fine day on the morrow were not half so frequently dwelt upon as our snug self congratulations on being housed, and on several of our friends being worse off than ourselves. The fact of five gentlemen having left us to ascend and behold sunset and sunrise from the summit of the Rigi was constantly referred to with a smack bribe lips, as if their soaking and disappointment were a rich Epicurean treat. To say " Pleasant for the gentlemen on the Rigi now, sir," or madam, was a sufficient introduction to any English person you met, for one touch of malignity made us all kin, and the persistent, heavy, and furious rain was fast washing out philanthropy and loving kindness from our souls. Such people as bad concluded their tour were ostentatiously grateful for the pleasures they bad enjoyed and kindly soothed us with, "Fell, I'm glad I'm homeward bound any bow," or "I'm afraid you'll have terrible weather over St.Gotbard, sir," or, "It looks set in all round— does it not I and the Lucerne people say this sort of rain always lasts three daps" In vain did you wander, escorted by an hotel servant holding over you a gig-umbrella, from the Schweitzer Hoff to the Schwann,and from the Schwann to the Hotel d'An leterre. At each place the same story was told your English brothers, as they moodily stalk up and down the covered piazza of the first house, or gloomily resigned themselves to tobacco in the smoking rooms of the others. The rain mournfully echoed all the dismal prognosti cations, and "starting home again" was furtively whispered by more than one of the party, who had been so openly exultant about the bright sky and glorious sunshine of a few hours before. On the next morning at four o'clock, some seventy or eighty people sat down to breakfast prior to starting by steamer to Fluelen, there to take diligences and proceed to Bellinzona, over the St. Gothard. The majority, but not all, of these belonged to one party of excursionists, and the competition for places was amusing enough. The rain was as furious and the mist more dense than on the night before, and the lake might have been that of Lomond, or the city hit of the Thames on a November day, for aught seen of its beauties by unhappy travellers thereupon. A special order had been sent on for conveyances, and ten of these, duly horsed waited the arrival of the boat. A coupd, after the first few minutes, could not be had for love or money. There were no banquettes, but a covered seat with the guard, or an un covered one by the driver, was speedily at a pre mium. The old infatuation about a box-seat behind "spanking tits " was revived here, and men, otherwise sane, deliberately exposed them selves to twenty hours' drenching in a mountain torrent, because, as they placidly remarked, " it was fresher than inside." Some six or seven dili gences ,and two or three omnibuses, without seats on roof or in front, and looking like yellow hearses, having been loaded, the dismal procession was formed, and the journey began. This was the largest party of tourists—again quoting the dili gence people—ever known to have crossed the Alpe at one tune, and they assuredly had one of the roughest days for doing it. Some travellers have a theory that this mountain range cannot be properly seeusave in stormy weather. If this be true, and eater down the neck and intothe ears, blinding, whistling angry gusts, beating upon your face ; a cold, raw, biting atmosphere, chilling yourvery marrow, while a fog, reaching half way down the mountains, pre vents your doing more than guess their height ; if these amenities taken concurrently be a favour able phase of alpine experience, the tourists of last Monday have every reason to be grateful. Whatever disadvantages the hypercritical might find in the conjunction of cold, wet, and obscurity, were, however, more than compensated for by the rich variety of character and abundance of incident furnished forth during the trip. Ten stout men tightly packed in each of the yellow hearses, like mutes retired from business, three shivering Britons on three box-seats, ladies, bundles, bags, old men, young men, and boys, in and on the other vehicles, made a motley caravan enough, and drew a round of astonished cheers from the inhabitants of Altorf, the first town at which we stopped. " Very jolly, isn't it 1" from an occupant of the first box-seat to his companion in misfortcne on box-seat No. 2, who has dismounted and is futilely attempting to look happy. " Remarkably," is the reply ; but as it is followed by a precipitate retreat into the yellow hearse, already sufficiently full, it must be taken rather in au, ironically-sportive rather than a literal or Mark Tapley spirit. The entire ride was very like a chapter of Albert Smith. The old gentle man ticking off the various mountains and places in his note-book, as if they were so many entries of pepper or raisins, and repeating me c hanically, " Acusteg, Intsclo, Waren, ' as if verifying his entries with an imaginary booking-clerk ; the lady who had never travelled by an excursion before, and whose present and future happiness depended upon her not being recognised by the aristocratic friends who, she implied, habitually promenaded or pic-niced on the Alps in stormy weather ; the licensed buffoon who thought it great fun to draw cockney similes, to compare the Devil's Budge to that of Westminster, and the distant snow to Gatti's penny ices ; the butt and fool, on whom even the most stupid and doltish felt bound even to sharpen their dull wits ; the energetic linguist who, on the strength of a pocket dialogue-book, addressed the be-puzzled peasantry wherever we stopped ; the romantic sentimentalists who gently upbraided everyone evincing a preference for fine weather wit'i " Nature (with a capital i.) is ever beautiful, sir," as if the utterance of a truism would act as an oil-skin cape and render you impe:i ions to wet ; the sanguine people whose " it's breaking a little " to the right or left 1 beeslio• insultin4 from the frequency of its itera tion .erns its astounding opposition to tact ; and the dismal beings who combined anecdote with pro- 1 pbecy, and wound up their relation of alpine hard ! ship and misadventure by prognosticating that we 1 should all have to take refuge in chalets for many nights to come, and by cheerfully calculating which among us would succumb first to a mixed diet of snow-water and old boots—all these seemed like familiar friends, from their faithful resemblance to type+ previously drawn. Then there were the ex cruciatingly genteel people, who would never have left Lucerne had they dreamt that a party of ex cursionists were crossing on that day, and who plainly regarded the bad weather as a sort of pro ! test made by the elements against cheap fares ; and ' lastly, there were the jolly tourists, to whom the size of the party with whom they were unavoidably mixed up was as complete a surprise as to the others, but who wisely caught the spirit of the hour, and dined, hob-nobbed, and made merry with the rest. As the day rolled on the condition of the rash people who were riding outside became more and more pitiable. Those in the conductors' seats ' were well protected as to shoulders and head, but TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (asorsa's TILMGRAY6) AMERICA.

Any state willing to return to the Union should be received at once with full constitutional rights. A large enthusiastic meetkg for the ratification of M'Clellsn's nomination to the presidency has been held in this city.

LETTER OF THE POPE TO TILE POLISH BISHOPS. ROME, S. 18 (Via Manilla.). An encyclical letter of the Pope, addressed to the Polish bishops, has been distributed among the cardinals at Rome. This letter draws a vivid picture of the persecu tion directed by the Russian government against the catholic church. The Pope stigmatises the Russian government u cruel, rebukes its excesses, and condemns it before heaven and earth. He censures, also, the confiscations and deporta tions carried out in Poland, and the treatment of the Archbishop of Warsaw, unjustly despoiled. His Holiness condemns, however, the Polish re volution, and reminds the cathelics of their duty to (.bey all civil authorities. The bishops, clergy, and all faithful catholics in Russia, are enjoiced to persevere in the faith with courage and resignation, and warned that they do not owe obedience to measures contrary to their consciences and to divine laws. The Pope, in conclusion, threatens the persecu tors with divine justice, " which," he says, " will soon appear, for the time of mercy is short, and the powerful are powerfully chastised."

AddWood.] were exposed to the wind and rain, which would whistle through the aides of the do what they would. Those in front with apron, driven were reduced to shapeless pulp. Rug., shawls, coats, beards, whiskers and face, were all foreshortened by the we; and each of the two gen tlemen who sat there throughout the day might have been squeezed and wrung oat by • giant-hand like clothes from a laundress's tub. Necks were craned out of the windows from time to time, and dim estimates of what the view might have been were formed, but theprincipal excitements were won dering as to the quality and quantity of dinner to be supplied at Andertnatt, and whether and when we should really touch the snow we caught glimpses of through the mist, above us. Both problems were satisfactorily solve ( . At the Devil s' Bridge many of the men left their carriages and braved the storm, to mystify each other with accounts (garble) from Murray) as to the period of the thin arch of masonry being carried by the French, and as to the precise number of combatants, French and Austrian, who were blown into the foaming abyss below. Once ent, th ey walked up and through the portion of the rock-cut road called the Gallery of Uri, and after traversing its 180 feet, found themselves in the arctic regions. The guide-books say that the con trast between the savage gorge of &boffin= and the pastoral valley of Urseren has gained for the many encomiums for its fertility and beauty, but on Monday the change was Irmo rain and wet to white and frozen laud and falling snow. So sudden was this that the first peep from the hole in the side of the rock resembled nothing so much as one of the scenes in the Re gent's-park Colosseum. The little snow-crowned village, the church spire, the broad, white-crusted fields, the ice-covered pools, the uniform white nese of the landscape, sparsely dotted with wretched herdawomen guarding the cattle and goats, and the complete absence of any sign or symptom of verdure or vegetation made the sud den transition striking in a precisely converse sense to that usually experienced by tourists. Past the two rude upright stones, said to be the ancient gallows used to hang criminals on when the valley was an independent state, and the landlord of the Three Kings is seen frantically urging on the drivers by waving his white napkin. The good man's table is filled by the occupants of the first diligenoes of the party, and we are sent to the . Hotel St. Gothard, where a dinner is provided of such excellence and abundance that young Flippant compares it to a supply of manna in the wilderness. The telegraph had warned these hotel proprietors of the coming influx, and the result was a well dressed, well-served meal fur all. The next three bows were spent in the snow. From Auderniatt to the summit of the Pees it kept on ilicreasiug both in depth under foot and in the rapidity and steadi ness of its downfall, until the roadway was three quarters of a foot deep and the small stone pillars at its side were in certain places nearly covered by the drifts. For some little time the possibility of the roads being made impassable was not so remote as it had seemed when the croakers began their wail, and as at the last place we changed drivers one of the conveyances had been accommodated with a drunken one, who tilted it against poets, and shouted wildly as be jolted it round corners, the position of its passengers was not altogether enviable. At the Hospice the snow was blinding in its thickness, and the cold so intense that alighting for a few mo ments chilled you through and through. All this time the two outside passengers stuck to their seats, while the butt of the party, as if to still further distinguish himself, contrived to be left behind. The descent towards Italy, with its series of twenty . eight rig -sag Unmoor—not exceeded in number and tortuous direction on any other Alpine pass— were perhaps never seen togreaiee advantage than from the last of the nine diligenoes on Monday. The shortness of the turns, and their winding stair case-like freqamesy, was especially noteworthy, with one or two diligence, rattling along at full canter upon each terrace, the first batch thereof being some hundreds of feet below the extreme rear of the party. The name Val Tremola, or Trembling Valley, from its supposed effect upon the nerves of those traversing it, was duly appre ciated by the gentlemen who had already had a fright from the gyrations of their too convivial driver, and cm stowing at Airola for tea there was much comparison of experiences between the damp, the cold, and the timid. The butt turned up before we left, having (he said) ran after us all the way down, a statement retuned with the utmost deri sion until Murray was referred to, and that great authority found to declare that a pedestrian may perhaps descend in leas time than a carriage ; and it was found that none of our conveyances had been honoured with his company. It continued to rain heavily all the way to Bellintona, which rest ing-place was not reached until nearly four hours after time. We were, however, fully compensated by the next day's journey to Lugano, which was made in the brightest sunshine, and beneath a cloudless sky ' • while the exquisite hues and tints sur rounding us here, the sunny brilliance of the ca:m lake, with its range of fertile hills, backed up and relieved as they are by the white cap of the Monte Rosa, and the soft influence of the true Italian at mosphere we are enjoying, have obliterated every remembrance of Alpine hardship as completely a the lessons of adversity are forgotten by the beggar on horseback who fancies his seat secure.

He likewise reported that the markets and slaughter-houses had been duly inspected. and that the officers had con• damned 20,310 lbs. of meat during the week, meet of which was in a putrid condition. It consisted of tio sheep, 4 calves, 13 pigs, 96 quarters of beef, 112 joints of meat, and 25 cages of rabita. The mortality returns for the week are a littleabovetheaverage for the wawa. Last week these:abet of deaths was 53, whereas the number for the corresponding period of the last seven years Is only 40. 21 or nearly half of the deaths were &moan children of less lino five yens of age, and 12 were among old persons of 60 and upwards. The chief eau of death were phthesia, 8 ; mesenteric disease. 4 ; hydrocephalus, 2 • bronchitis, 6 ; continued fever, 2; scarlet fever, 4; diphtheria, 1; infantile diarrhcee, 3. As regarded the supply of gas in the City during the week, Dr. Letheby reported that the Illuminating power had averaged 13'5 candles, and that the properties of sul phur in the gas bad, except in the muse of the Great Central Gee, been under the amount bled by the act; but that the gas of the Great Central Company contained from 20 to 26 gams per 100 cute feet. _ _ HEALTH or LONDON.—The weekly return, pub lished by authority of the Registrar•Geseral, states that the deaths registered in London declined from 1,362, the number returned in the first week of September, to 1.136 in the week that ended last Saturday. This decrease occurred in the mortality of young peeaons , whose deaths were in tine former week, 752 ; ia the latter, 626. The average somber of deaths in the thirty-seventh week of ten years, 1854.63, is with the exclusion of deaths from epidemic cholera in 1854, and with • canonic for amens of population, 1,192. The actual return exceeds the estimated number by 44 deaths. The mean temperature ef the air was 5 deg. or 6 deg. below that of the two previous weeks ; the rains have been coping ; and the result is an improvement in the health of very young children.
