The Queen, accompanied by Princess Helena,
drove yesterday morning.
Her Majesty, with Princess Louise and Prineess
Beatrice, took a carriage drive in the afternoon.

The Hon. Emma Lanelles arrived at Balmoral

Lord Napier left the Castle yesterday.

The Prince and Princess of Wales in

Denmark.

COPENHAGEN, Monday.

The unaccountable post-office arrangements,
which jump up and down irregularly every day)
have this morning taken a wholly unexpected leap
of four hours and a half, diminishing the time for
correspondence accordingly. It must therefore be
stated, with the utmost brevity, that the Prince of
Wales yesterday morning came into Copenhagen
attended by General Knolls's and Colonel Keppell
and was present at Divine service, hold in the
chapel of the Embassy, an apartment of the very
plainest character, where the Rev, Mr Ellis is the
officiating clergyman. 'f he congregation for Cope'''
hagen, was considerable, many having, no doubt,
been drawn to that quarter by an expectation such
as was ectually gratified. The ordinary Church of
England congregation is naturally very limited--
on this occasion the numbers were nearly doubled•
The weather was extremely unfavourable, but the
Prince, with the same consideration which has led
on the previous day to the countermanding of the
review, exposed himself to the weather in order
that others who were anxious to see him might

ave an opportunity of doing so; though, when his
own gratikation was in question, he is said to have
urged that the National Guards should not be kept
under arms in the rain. Dismissing his carriage,
and taking the arm of Sir Augustus Paget, he
walked from the chapel of the Embassy to the
Hotel PLeelix, upon entering the door of which he
was greet2d by the numerous citizens who had re.
spectfully followed his footsteps, with the most
ringing and enthusiastic cheers that he has yet re.
ceived since his landing in Danmark. His Royal
Highness turn round, took off his hat, and bowed
very graciously to the large assemblage, and then
entered the hotel,
,where he lunched with Lord and
Lady Spencer, remaining at the hotel about an
hcur and a half. Oa leaving he met with an
equally cordial reception. The Princess of Wales,
meanwhile, went with the members of her
own family to the quiet parish church of Gjentalei
where, when a resident in the country, she had
been accustomed to attend Divine service. Later
in the afternoon the royal party proceeded from
Bernstorf to the chateau of Charlottenlund, where
they dined with the Landgrave of Hesse, and in
the evening drove to Sorgenfri, the residence of the
Queen Dowager, where they remained till it was
time to return to Bernstorf. This morning, at half.
past 11 o'clock, they intend to visit the Royal Castle
of Rosen borg, a building filled with relics of Faro`
pean interest, and replete with the richest historical
associations. They are to lunch with the widow of
Prince Frederick, late the heir apparent to the
throne, and about half-past 3 they will proceed to
the Museum of Antiquities, renowned throughout
the scientific world as one of the treasures of the

north of Europe. In the evening their Royal High-
nesses will honour Sir Augustus Paget, the British
Minister Plenipotentiary, and Lady Paget, with
their company at dinner, About 30 persons of the
highest distinction are invited to meet them. The
circle will include Prince Hans of Glucksburg, the
Crown Prince,of Denmark, the French and Russian
representatives Lat this Court, the Swedish Envoy,
who lately had the honour of presenting an autos
graph letter from the King of Sweden to the Prince
of Wales ; the principal officers of the Danish royal
households &o. The Danish Minister for Foreign
Affairs was also invited, but he is at present Elder."
ing so severely from gout that it is not likely he
will be able to attend.
To-morrow it is expected, but not yet quite de'
tided, that there will be a hunt in the deer path
close to Bernstorf Castle, possibly extending to some
of the adjoining forests. In the evening the royal
party contemplate a visit to the Opera-house; it will
not, however, be made in state, nor will the perfor-
mances be delayed pending their arrival. The royal
box will be quite in readiness for them, and it the
weather should be at all favourable there is little
doubt they will take their places in it in the oaurse
of the evening.

ing the Pr;nce and several members of his suite went out

wards drove to 'Westminster Abbey. After an inspection of
