for the sympathy which his crown had obtained at
the hands of England and its people.
We were most kindly shown by Kamraerherr Ber-
ling through the divers apartments of the palace.
The knights hall and the chapel, beautiful speci-
mens of the arabesque and scroll style, excited
much admiration ; but that which most amused us
WWI an examination of the vault into which Christian
IV. used to pile his treasures. It was a small
arched, thick walled room, having one grated win-
dow, looking out on the lake. in the midst of which
thecas was built; a small passage, like a flue,
passed through divers apartments into the room
of the king, and there, concealed behind a
drapery, was a little hole contra 'eating with the
passage,
down which King Christian threw his gold
and silver meets, thus saving himself the trouble of
continually going down to the vault to lock up his
riches. A skull ominously frowning on the window
sill of the vault is described as that of a di-honest
clerk in Christian's household, whose peculation's
were punished by death in the vault, for whose con-
tents he had shown too grent a fondness. In the
garden of Ftiuderichsborg is also shown a small
stone sent where Christian used to sit every
Saturday evening when he paid his workmen their
weekly wages. Truly a nwthialical prince was
Christian IV. lie took ns much care of his money
and the virtue of his mistresses, and to the virtue;
of sobriety and moderation he joined the best quali-
ties of the statesman and the soldier.
Hunting and fishing are the king's pastimes at
Priederichsborg. and we were sorry that the short
time allowed us to stay there precluded the possi-
bility of our joining in any of them ; but, as
needs must, we returned to Copenhagen to see
what was there to be seen, and then make the best
of our way back to Illerting on our return to Eng-
land. At Copenhagen the sights are such as have
been often eFseribed, and need nut be written
of again. We WIN' the old towers, where
'rich.) Brodie made his observations. A bust of
the old astronomer was there ; it had been
painted of a bronze colour, and was rather disfigured
it stood in the midst of the primitive instruments
which he hid used. and which seem not to have been
replaced by more modern ones. The royal palace,
the Settsioo., Home of the Diet, the Timm ultimo
Palace, Rosenberg, the theatres, in fact, all that was
worthy of hying seen was shown to us with a polite:-
RCM untiring as it was kind —we missed nothing.
On Monday evening, the ith of April, we started
on our mum to file rt
