Departure of the Danish Royal Family.

The Prince and Princess Christian of Denmark
left London yesterday morning for the Continent.
Tne Prince and Princess Christian of Denmark,
Prince Frederick, Prince William, Prince Walde-
mar, Princess Dagmar, and Princess Thyra, who
accompanied her Royal Highness the Princess of
Wales on her recent arrival in England, lett Dover
yesterday afternoon. Their royal highnesses tra-
velled in state carriages, and by express train of the
South-Eastern Railway, arriving in Dover precisely
at 12.10. Mr. Eborall, the general manager of the
South Eastern Railway, and Mr. J. P. Knight, the
traffic superintendent, were in attendance at the
railway station, and the last-named gentleman ac-
companied the train to Dover. On its arrival there
the train was driven direct to the Admiralty pier,
alongside which the Admiralty yacht Vivid, Com-
mander Allen, was lying, with her steam up, in
readiness to convey the illustrious visitors across
the Channel.

Just as the Vivid was casting off, the Danish
national filg was run up to the main, and a hearty
cheer, led with right good will by the mayor, burst
from the whole of the spectators, the band of the
831 again playing the National Anthem as the
Vivid rapidly steamed away from the pier. The
weather was as beautiful as midsummer, and the
sea without a ripple.

The Corporation of the City--The Prince
_ ___

and Princess of Wales.

We have reason to believe that the Prince of
Wales, on behalf of himself and the Princess of
Wales, has declined the invitation of the Corpora-
tion of the City of London to the proposed banquet
in the Guildhall. We presume that the letter de-
clining the invitation would be couched in such
courtly phraseology as an expression of regret that
ihey could not accept the invitation at present.—

Wales, performed several pieces in the garden of Bucking-
ham Palace, much to the giatitication of the princess, who

missed the piper with many thanks, and a substantial

AT THE BOOR OF ST. GEORGE'S CHAPEL.---D
was a sort of combined sensation of getting mar'
ried, of going to the play, of standing godfather, and simplY
going to church, all mixed up together, with a suspicion
of morning concert, and a faint dash or flower-show. Here
were ladies in opera-cloaks--it must be a play we were
going to see ; but they had smart bonnets on—it WO
a morning concert. No, we were standing in a Gothic
porch, and there were pinnacles, and trefoils, and other
ecclesiastical ornaments, in all directions—we were g in;
to church; but then none of us had prayer-books, and
several, on the other hand, carried opera-glasses. At
any rate, we were all jammed close together wait-
ing at a door, which was not yet opened, and we were
complaining that our feet were very cold, and that the car-
riages which continued to set down fresh arrivals every
moment were pressing much too closely on us. Yet, with
all this close packing and dim suggestion. of a pit entrance
