The Danish Residents in London.

- -
Oa Thursday night a number of Danish gentle-
taen, mostly residents of London, sat down to din-
ner at St. James's Hall, to celebrate the marriage
of the Prince of Wales with the Princess Alexandra
"enmartr. Tue hall was tastefully and appro-
priately decorated. Ia the background over the
chairman was seen the Danish arms enframed with
White and red rosee ; on the right side the Danne-
b
I°4, or Danish flag, and on the left the Prince of
Wales's banner, both surmounted by the feathers
and tailing over a group of union jacks. At the
I:iclee of the hall the busts of the royal bride and
bridegroom were surmounted by two large A's in
White and red roses, and festoons of roses crossed
from walk to wall.
4'l(ma the lotnpany, numbering about 100, were
,
Excellency M. de Bitle, the D +nish Minister;
A. Westenholz, the Consul- Gonersl; Captain
Cttstensetijold, adjutant to Prince Christian; Cap-
tain Lund, R.A., adjutant to Prince Frederick;
-Ideutenant Funck, R.N., tutor to Prince William;
Nelthropp ; Messrs. Dalcomyn, Simonsen,
4-"ensund, and Goseh, attached to the Danish Em-
bassy ; and the Rev. E. Magnusson. The stewards
Were Messrs. C. Moller, J. H. Lundt, F. Fabricins,
Chr. Lange, and S. E. Holten.
His Excellency M. de Bitle took the chair, and
Was supported by Mr. C. Moller, the senior Danish
Merchant in London, and Captain Castenscbjold.
After the cloth had been removed,
his EXCELLENCY rose and said—We are here
assembled to celebrate the union of the Prince of
wales and Princess Alexandra. There is, I am
sure, no one who more rejoices at this happy union
than his Majesty King Frederick VII. It is a union
Which still closer connects our dear Denmark to a
country to which we look up with admiration and
affection. It places the Crown on the compact of
friendship which for so many years has existed
between
England and Denmark. I again repeat
that no one can feel more gratified at this union
thanouorfhis
most gracious Majesty King Frederick, the
father
people, to whom he gave a privilege so
lon. benjoyed by the people of Englang—that of
Governing themselves. We, the Danes, will there-
fore ever gratefully remember him, and I am sure
of the full sympathy of the present assembly when
Propose d, Long live Frederick VII." May he
live lona.
Niue thundering hurrahs followed this speech.

14'1-MARKET THEATRE.— The benefit of Mr.
'Wilde is announced for Thursday next at this
theatre, where the respect in which he is held, for the
long and able conduct of arrangements relating to the com-
fort of the audience will, we have no doubt, ensure him the
Patronage of every class of playgoers. The established
popularity of " Our Am •rican Cousin" and "The Little
Treasure" is principally relied upon for the occasion ; whilst
tb
two characters,
will be the speciality of Mr. Sothern's appearance in
":° oharaciers, that gentleman having undertaken the part
of Ca tain Walt, r Maide,.. blush in the last-named piece.
The Spanish ballet of the " Fete" will conclude
the evening's performances.

diture to £80366, whereof £13,193 was for rates and taxes,
£28,423 tor repairs and improvements, and £7,218 for re-
°,..!atnation and improvement of portions of Dciatnere forest.
The receipt from Windsor forest and parks amounted to
416
'OBl, the expenditure to £21,913. From the other Royal
forests and woodlands the receipt was £11,140, and the
P'riditUro upon them £32,654. The balance left in hand
It," he end of the year being smaller than at its beginning,
'a UM of £:95,000 was paid over to the Exchequer as
811riAlls :bonne in the year before it was £290,568. P. is
not all avail,ble surplus, because there is to be set against

cord-offiee.
