DEPARTURE OP THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS
OP WALES FOR COPENHAGEN.-(THIS DAY.)

Their Royal Higbneeees the Prince and Pr"icess
of Wales will leave Abergeldie Clink this morning for
Dundee, there to embark on their trip to Denmark. After
leaving Copenhagen their royal highnesses will pay a flying
visit to ESL Petersburg, and lastly Stockholm. We under-
stand that the Prince and Primer will embark on board
the Osborne, royal yacht, at about 4 o'clock this afternoon.
The excursion to the Baltic is expected to occupy about
thrro weeks.

At a meeting of the Dundee town ocinneil on Thursday,
Provost Parker stated that he had received a letter from
Sir Charles Wood stating that it was the wish of the Prince
of Wales that the embarkation should be conducted as
quietly as possible. Aa they would have a long drive in the
morning belay* getting to the railway, and then a long rail-
way journey, and in addition to that they had the prospect
of a sea voyage, the Prince was anxious as much as possible
to save the Princess from every exertion and fatigue. Sir
Charlie Wood had intimated to the provost that while the
Prince appreciated the wish that had been ezpreascd that
there should be some display of the loyal feeling of the
people on this occasion, it would not be agreeable to him ;
but he would on another occasion visit Dundee, when they
would have an opportunity of doing everything desirable in
the way of display.
