Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-office
from the Governors of the Wed Todd Wands.

On Saturday afternoon, about 1 o'clock, the
Prince and Princess of Wales availed themselves of a fa-
vourable change in the weather to drive from Fredenaborg
Castle as far as Elsinore, having of necessity been able to
give but a cursory glance at that point on the day of their
arrival. The distance, which takes rather more than an
hoar to drive, was performed in open carriages, the first a
capacious waggon-shaped vehicle containing all the members
of the royal families of England and Denmark staying at
Fredenaborg, their suites respectively following io open
barouches. The Prince of Wales and the Crown Prime of
Denmark wore the undress uniforms of general officers;
the Princess of Wales appeared in those light tints which
are so admirably suited to her complexion. The coachmen
and footmen were all arrayed in the full Dm:limb livery of
scarlet and gold, with gold laced bats. At the express
request of the Princess of Wales, divine service was per.
formed in the Castle of Fredensborg on Sunday by the cler-
gyman by whom, when Princess Alexandra, she was pre.
pared for the rite of confirmation.

DRAMA.
- -
ADELPHL

Mr. Took took his annual benefit at this house
yesterday evening, on which occuicia a new drama by Mr.
John Ominfoed, entitled Stephen Diggs, was played for the
first time. In stating that she work in "new "it must be
understood that we are merely employing the figurative
phraseology of an Adelphi play bill. Stephen Diva is in
fact an adaptation of Le Pere Goriot, a three act drama
by Mean. Theaulon, Coeberousse, and Jaime, originally
produced at the Verifiers Theatre, is Paris, as far
back as the year 1835, and founded, as its title
implies, upon the powerful and touching, but dar
agreeable story by Balzer, which bears the same
name. An English version of the French piece was
introduced, too, upon oar stage about twenty years ago,
the alaptor bestowing upon his work the terrific appellation
of the Lear of Prirate Life. At the City of London, the
Britancia, and other theatres of a similar clam, the Lear of
Prima Life so completely responded to the tastes of the
frequenters, that it enjoyed considerable favour with them
some few years since, the principal character being then
sustained by an American performer of somewhat uncertain
talent, named Hudson Kirby.
The entertainments commenced with A Woman of
Business, and concluded with The Baba in the Wood, the
applause throughout the minim being enthusiastic.
