taries led the way, the Lord Mayor and the
Sherif following.

Never did such plaudits rend the assuredly
on that side of the water-. Both the Prince and
Princess appeared delighted at their reception.
They occupied the last carriage, the itincess
sitting by the side of her mother, the Princess
Louise, and opposite the Prince of Wales. The
Prince of Denmark sat by the side of the Prince.
Both the Prince and Princess appearer! 'impressed
and gratified at the wa.rut teception awarded
them and their daughter. The Princess wore a
white crape tulle bonnet, ornamented with white
and pink roses, and a purple furred mantle. The
Prince of Wales and Prince Christian kept their
hats of, and bowed very gracefully to the shouting
crowd.

The cortege had scarcely got past the Bricklayers
Arms, when the rain, which had been threatening
for the last half hour, began slightly to fall, and
the royal ladies were compelled to resort to the use
of umbrellas, but the rain ceased ere the
cavalcade got well into the Great Dover-road. This
made the occupants of the Royal carriage quite
merry, and the Prince of Wales and the Prince of
Denmark remained uncovered—their hats in their
hands itightly elevated over their heads—to the end
of the journey.
In the Borough-road, just past St. George's
Church, a handsome arch had been erected
tastefully, bearing across it the motto, " P -ace and
Prosperity—Health. and Happiness. From the
railway station on London-bridge hundreds of flags
were displayed, and several of the mottoes of wel-
come and good cheer were couched in the native
language of the Princess.
The progress of the procession to London-bridge
was one continuous and splendid ovation. Every
available corner from which the cavalcade could be
beheld was crowded.

London-bridge was reached at about a quarter to
three, and the cheering at this point was loud and
hearty. The procession halted at the south end for
about ten minutes. The few gentlemen around,
who stood with uncovered heads—for the bridge
had, strangely enough, been kept almost &ear—
set up a loud cheer, which the Prince and Princess
very graciously acknowledged.
The parapets of the bridge were ornamented from
the south to the north with portraits of the Kings
of Denmark, from the earliest period to his
present Majesty Frederick VII., affixed on the
Danish national standard. surmounted with ra-
vens and elephants. Between the standards 100
tipods, the three legs of which terminated in well
formed lion's claws, were placed, from which in-
cense arose and richly perfumed the air as the
cavalcade passed across.
At the south and north approaches of the bridge
were erected pedestals, on which stood statues of
Fame, surmounted by Danish warriors, holding the
" Danebrog," the national flag of Denmark. In the
several recesses of the bridge the same ornamenta-
tion was carried out.

Fiere, on the northern side of Adelaide-place, was
erected a magnificent triumphal arch—on the south
side of which and in the centre, and immediately
on the carriage way, was placed the united arms of
England and Denmark, right and left, and over the
footways well executed medallions, in relief, of the
Prince and Princess.

On the columns stood the following statutes :
Sax() Gramaticus, the grammarian (1156); Hol-
berg, the poet ; Thorswaldeen, the sculptor; Juel,
the painter.
In the pediment were the following appropriate
lines from Shakespeare
" Honour, riches, marriage, blessing,
Long continuance and increasing;
Hourly joys be still up, n you :
England showers her blessings on you."

Below was a well got up artistic painting repre-
senting Britannia escorting the Princess Alexandra
to the shores of England, accompanied by sea
gods and goddesses. When night has fallen
upon this mighty city, the painting will
be removed, and a transparency fixed repre-
senting " The riches of Earth, Air, and Water in
offerings to the Princess." On the pediment is re-
presented Britannia in her car. drawn by four
white horses, welcoming the Princess Alexandra
to our shores, and on either side recumbent
figures of Fame heralding her happy approach to
this country. O❑ the southern front of the arch,
and in its centre, is a good portrait of our
gracious Queen Victoria, within a wreath
of laurel, and the crown above, supported by
allegorical figiires of Wisdom and Strength. On the
eight Corinthian columns on this side of the arch
were four statues of Fame. Above the footways
the Royal arms of England and these of Denmark
were displayed.
It was much to be regretted that though this
beautiful arch was complete, and it was only
finished a short while before the arrival of the
Royal pair, that a portion of the scaffolding poles
remained standing. _ _ _
