THE ILLUMINATIONS.

R►egulrations for preventing obstructions of the
thoroughfares on the night of the tuarriage of
H.R.H. the Prince of Wales on the 10th of March,
1863.

The following regulations will be enforced to pre-
vent obstructions in the crowded thoroughfares, and
to enable carriages to pass slowly through the
streets in which it is expected there will be the
most illuminations :

Persons wishing to see the illuminations front
carriages in any of the following streets can be
allowed to pass only in the one direction on the
left or proper side of the streets hereafter named,
except in returning through the Strand and White-
hall :—Marble-arch, Oxford-street, Regent street,
Piccadilly, Haymarket, Pall-mall East, Dun-
cannon-street, Strand, Temple-bar (turn or go
through), Whitehall and back, Cockspur-street,
Pall-mall, Waterloo-place, Piccadilly, through
Duke-street and King-street to St. James's-square,
John-street, Pall-mall, St. James's-street, Bond-
street, and Oxford-street.
Carriages will be allowed by the police to enter
the line, which will occasionally be stopped for the
purpose, at any side street. •

No carriage will be allowed to stop at any point
so as to cause obstruction.

Sufficient space is to be kept at the side of the
lines for the carriages of those who want to pao
quickly, but they can only be allowed to pass in the
same direction as is laid down for carriages on the
line. Whenever nEeessary such carriages will be
stopped by the police to enable carriages to pass
with persons wishing to see the illuminations.

Empty carriages and cabs will be turned out of
streets on the line.

Carriages will be prevented from blocking up the
entrances of streets, and, whenever necessary, they
will be required to go back, and form into lines, so
as to keep open the thoroughfare.

Whenever there is sufficient room, carriages will
be formed into two or more lines, and kept moving.

The City Present to the Princess.

On Friday, at a special meeting of the Court of
Common Council, held at the Mansion-house, the
Lord Mayor presiding, a report was brought up
from the Royal Reception Committee stating that
they had selected, and now recommended for pur-
chase, a diamond necklace and earrings, as a pre-
sent from the Corporation to the Princess Alexandra
of Denmark, on her marriage with the Prince of
Wales, and for which the Common Council re-
cently voted the sum of £lO,OOO. The necklace,
with its accompaniments, was shown to the mem-
bers of the Court by one of the Messrs. Garrard,
goldsmiths, of the Haymarket, and was much ad-
mired. It consists of 32 Golcond.t diamonds (old
English cut), the centre stone, from which the rest
graduate, weighing 13 carats 3 1-32 grains. The
beauty of this collection of stones was represented to
lie in the uniformity and harmony of size, shape,
and brilliancy. The earrings are equal in quality
to the necklace, and consist of very large brilliant
tops and drops with diamonds between, the top
stones weighing 121 carats, and the drops, which are
said to be matchless, 174 carats, the whole weight
of necklace and earrings being 171 2 a 1.16 carats.
On the motion of Mr. Anderton, Chairman of
Committee, their recommendation was adopted,
and it was referred back to them to give effect to
the wishes of the Court and to make the necessary
arrangements for the presentation of the necklace to
her Royal Highness the Princess.

The Princess Alexandra received the City pre•
sent at Windsor to-day at 3 o'clock. The civic
authorities were met at the South-Western station
in Windsor, from whence they had the honour of
being conveyed to the Castle in her Majesty's car'
riages. The Royal Reception Committee met at
Guildhall this u.oruing, at 10 o'clock.

The Reception of the Princess by the
Danes.

As mentioned on Saturday in our columns, the
Danes resident in London had manifested their
desire to meet the Princess Alexandra immediately
on her landing on English soil, to give her a hearty
welcome. The Mayor of Gravesend met their
wishes in the most obliging manner, and placed 6
large number of seats nearest the pier at their die'
posal, where a tent, splendidly decorated with Eng'
fish and Danish colours, was erected, and over which
was seen the Royal arms of Denmark, supported by
the old Ddnnebrog. A large number of ladies and
gentlemen filled the tent, the brilliant toilets of the
former consisting chiefly of the rational red aria
white, and all wearing a Coventry ribbon rosette of
the same colours, with the silver cross of the Danne-
brog in the centre bearing the inscription " Minds
den VII. Marts, 1863" (in remembrance of the 7th
of March, 1863), which had been specially designed
for the occasion by Mr. Barkentin, a Danish artist?
resident in London, the same gentleman who hoe
designed and executed the splendid silver vase
which the Dines are about to present to the Priv'
cess as a wedding gift. While the Royal salutes

on the cover, was presented to the Princess by
