A King and Queen of Denmark,

-O.

Sir. Lascelles Wraxali gives an extreordinary
account of King Christian VII. of Denmark and ti 6
Queen Matilda (sister of George 111 of England).
Here is an anecdote of the King One Sundae,
during divine service, when the Queen was divert.
ing herself in the riding-house in the rear of
Cliristieusborg Palace, the King was standing on
the balcoey over the gateway, with his black sod
his white bays, and threw from thence logs of fire-
wood, tongs, shovels, books, papers, and entire
drawers, down into the courtyard, and at last wanted
to hurl his fleourite Gourmand and the negro boy
over the balustrade. Among the papers thrown
down was a secret list of the fleet and the condition
of each ship, wnich the lackey of a foreign Minister
round and carried to his master. the following
June the King broke all the windows in his own
and the Queu's apartments at Hirtcholtn, mashed
looking-giasses, chairs, tables, and custly china
vases, and threw the fregmeuts through the win-
dows into the yard, in which his playmates helped
him with all their might. At first such amuse-
ments on the part of the Sovereign excited great
surprise among the public, but they soon grew ac-
customed to them through their frequent repetition.'
The Queen was scarcely les3 eccentric, though her
eccentricity was iu a measure " by command." The
following describes her appearances on horseback :
While the Queen gained many hearts by her con-
descension, she aroused quite as much anger by her
tree and easy manners. She appeared at this feast
in mile clothing, sitting her horse like a man,
which created a great scandal among the females.
She did so, however, by the special request of her
husband, who hated ceremony, and, according to
his peculiar mania, liked his wife to display her
beautiful form. It is certain that riding en honznre
soon after became the prevalent fashion among the
fine ladies of Copenhagen. Colonel Keith writes
home—' An abominable riding habit, with a black
slouched hat, has been almost univerea ly introduced
here, which gives every woman the air of an awk•
ward postilion. In all the time I have been in
Denmark I never saw the Queen out in any other
garb.' "
