The Prince and. Princess of Wales in

Denmark.
EIIINEUR, Sept. 6, 1,30 p.m.
The Prince and Princess of Wales landed here

c-day at a little before one o'clock, and with a

hearty and right royal welcome. Any apprehen-
sions which had been entertained on this score, on
account of recent untoward events, were completely
dispelled, This generous people forgot all past
differences and griefs in the feelings of loyalty
towards their Sovereign, and of hospitality to
strangers visiting their shores, for which they are
proverbial. From break of day the whole popula-
tion of this ancient royal residence, about 8,000 in
number, were up and busy making preparations for
the reception of the illustrious visitors. The quay
was decorated with festoons of flowers and sever"
greens, and flags of all nations, those of Austria and
Prussia excepted. The ships in the harbour were
profusely dressed out with bunting. At the en 4
trance to the principal street was a triumphal
arch, bearing the word "Welcome," the initials
"A. E. A.," and the Prince of Wales's feather,
surmounted by a trophy of the Danish and English
flags. All along the street was decorated after the
same fashion. At four this morning a Danish man-
of-war and her Majesty's steamship Aurora went
down to the Cattegat to meet the Osborne, which
was accompanied by two other steamships. Ten or
twelve Danish men-of-war were anchored off the
harbour. The King and Queen of Denmark and
the Princess Dagmar arrived in an open carriage
and four, accompanied by a numerous suite, a little
after ten, and proceeded to the picturesque old
Castle of the Wort to await the arrival of their
relatives and guests. At twelve o'clock the guns of
Cronborg announced the arrival of the fleet in the
roads, then a salute was fired by all the Danish ships,
whose yards were manned. The band on shore now
played the "Danish Hymn," and afterwards " God
save the Queen," as the Osborne steamed majestic
tally into the little harbour. " Rule Britannia"
followed, the cheering on all sides being enthusi-
astic. Nearly three quarters of an hour were men-
' pied in bringing the steamer to her moorings,
L during which time the King, Queen, and Princess
were put on board the yacht in a boat. Then the

Danish standard was hoisted at the main. The
weather hitherto had been fine but threatening, and
there was a slight shower just before the royal party
landed. The band on board, previous to the laud-
ing, returned the compliment of the military band
on shore by playing the "Danish Hymn." The
Prince of Wales first stepped across the gangway,
which was covered with crimson cloth and strewed
with flowers, the Queen of Denmark resting on his
arm. The King of Denmark followed, giving his
arm to the Princess of Wales, Next came the
Princess Dagmar, and then the royal infant, who,
in his nurse's arms,was the object of much interest,
although, unfortunately, asleep, and his face hidden
from view. The cheering was now renewed with
increased intensity, amidst the booming of a hun'
dud cannon; the burgomaster read an address, after
which there was another burst Qf loud hurrahs,
After this the choral societies of the town sang
" God save the Queen," which had been translated
into Danish for this occasion. The royal party then
withdrew to Cronborg, where luncheon was pre•
pared, and afterwards proceeded to Fredensborg,
where they are to sojourn during their stay in this

courltry.

MURDERS ON BOARD AN IRISH EMIGRANT SHIP.

---We (Freeman's Journal) take the following distressing
account of a double murder from the Philadelphia Inquirer
of the 19,h ult. :—" The ship Lady Emily Peel, Capt. Jas.
Danny, arrived at this port on 'Wednesday night, from Lon-
donderry, with cargo of pig iron and 314 emigrant passen-
gers. During the passage two of the female emigrants got
into a fight, during which one of them received injuries of
such a serious character as to cause her death. Another fight
occurred yesterday between the crew, during which one
stabbed another, killing him instantly. The vessel was hauled
into one of the wharves above Race-street, and during the
morning some six or eight of the crew indulged rather
freely in drink. Subsequently two of them, named
D iugherty and M'Keever, returned to the ship, when a
difficulty sprang up, and a new general row ensued.
Joseph M.'Master, the boatswain, a quiet inoffensive man,
in endeavouring to quell the ,disturbance, became in-
volved, and was attacked by ld'Keeve,r, and a third
man named John Gallagher, also one of the participants
in the first quarrel. M'Master, a powerful man, wit
fast getting the better of his adversaries, when M'Keever
drew a large sheath-knife from his belt, such as are
carried by seamen, and plunged it into M`Master't
neck. The blade entered under the left ear, penetrating
one and a half inches, cutting the jugular vein and carotid
artery, The blood gushed out in toarents, and the injured
man fell to the deck without uttering a word. M'Keever
who was excited, missed his step and fell, the some weapon
with which he had committed the murder entering his righ
thigh, inflicting a frightful wound, which bled profusely
The deck of the vessel was by this time :one mass of clotte
blood, and the greatest excitement and consternatio.a pre
veiled among the some 100 or 200 emigrants male an,
female, who were yet on board, M'Keever was rendere
helpless from the loss of blood and was picked up and take
to the hospital. He also received during the fight a sever
cut over the left ear. Tieing stupefied with liquor, the pr(
cise nature of his wounds cannot be ascertained v.ntil
tc
day, although they are of a very serious character, a rid ma
prove fatal. The murdered man was a native of -)3elfas
Ireland, and aged about 35 years. His murderer is a aratii
of Derry county, Ireland, and aged only 21 years. T 1
affair was at once communicated to the police authoritie
Lieutmant Bowers, with a large force of men, was soon c
board, and arrested nearly all the crew. to await the Testi
of the coroner's investigation.
