EN TERTA WHEN:

'T AT TEE YANSION-HOUSE.

Last evening the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress
entertained a select and brilliant party at the Mansion-
house to meet the bishops and their ladies. Among
the company we noticed his Grace the Archbishop of
Canterbury and Mrs. Sumner, the Lord Bishop of Lon-
don, the Bishop of Winchester and lady, the Bishop of
Rochester and lady, the Bishop of Bangor, the 13inhop
of St. David's, the Bishop of Worcester, the Bishop of
Salisbury and lady, the Bishop of Chichester and lady,
the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of Manchester, the
Bishop of Hereford, the Bishop of Llandaff, the Bishop
of Nova Scotia and lady, and the majority of the Court
of Aldermen.

The LORD MAYOR, in proposing "The Archbishop of
Canterbury, and Success to the Society for the Propaga-
tion of the Gospel," said it was a great gratification to
him to propose the health of the good archbishop in con-
nection with the society referred to, as he felt it was the
desire of the most reverend prelate to promote religion
amongst the people at home, and to extend the blessings
of the Gospel and the glory of God, by means of mis-
sionary labours, all over the world. (Hear.) The Gos-
pel was adapted to all—to a man in a state of barbarism,
or to a man sunk in sin, the way of sanctification was to
be found in this pi eacbing of the Gospel. (Hear.) If
ever the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel was
of importance, it was so at this time, when emigration
was going forward with such rapid strides, when
our countrymen were seeking settlements in' foreign
lands, and when it was most important that the mission-
ary should be found to guide and instruct those who,
without their assistance, would be in darkness. '(Hear.)
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said, he had a double
acknowledgment to make. In the first place, lie had
to thank the Lord Mayor for the manner in which lie
had introduced his name to that company ; and next and
chiefly, for baying associated his name with an institu-
tion whiotklad,Adane • much ..to extend the preaching of
the Gospel all over the world. (Hear.) In a country
like this it was gratifying to find that commerce and
religion were so blended, that one was but a means for
advancing the other. That was as it should be ; com-
merce and religion ought to be so identified, that wher-
ever the merchant went to promote commerce, there
ought also to be found men to carry out the glorious
principle of establishing .the religion of Him who had
come upon earth to save mankind. . (Hear, hear.) The
Society for the Propagation of the Gospel had been
in existence for the last 150 years, and never were its
labours more necessary than at that moment, when, as
had been properly observed by the Lord Mayor, the
tide of emigration was extending to other lands—where,
whatever else they might find, they would not find the
minister of religion, to guide and instruct them in the
way of salvation, and without the knowledge of which
they would be in the very worst position of the heathens
whom they were displacing. (Hear, hear.) Before
sitting down, he begged to propose the health of the
Lord Mayor, whose name was associated with the pro-
motion of those institutions which were identified with
Christianity and charity, and whose entertainment that
evening showed that he was also deeply imbued with
the virtue of hospitality. (Hear, hear.) He begged to
propose " The health of the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor." (Applause.)
The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, said that
forty years ago he had the happiness of hearing the
Archbishop of Canterbury advocating the cause of the
Bible Society, and he believed that, impressed with the
sentiments expressed by that most reverend prelate, and
acting under their influence, he had overcome difficulties
and been enabled to reach that point which gave him
the opportunity of being in the proud position which he
then occupied, and which afforded him an opportunity
of having around him the distinguished individuals who
formed that company.
Other toasts having been drunk the company sepa-
rated, highly gratified with the proceedings of the even-
ing.
The vocalisation during the evening was of a very
superior order.

Royal
dockyard at Woolwich at half-past five o'clock last
evening, from Ostend.
At eleven o'clock in the forenoon, four of the Queen's
carriages and two luggage vans arrived at the Royal
dockyard from Buckingham Palace, for the conveyance
of the illustrious travellers to London. His Excellency
Count Kielmansegge, Hanoverian Minister, accompanied
by his daughter, the Conntess Helen Kiolmansegge,
arrived from town at half-past twelve o'clock to be in
attendance to receive his Royal master. His Excellency
was received by Commodore Eden, the captain superin-
tendent of the dockyard, whose guest he remained during
the afternoon.

Intelligence of the anticipate) arrival of the King and
Queen having got abroad, the leading residents. in the
neighbourhood, including almost all the officers of the
garrison, with their ladies, assembled on the parade, at
an early hour in the afternoon to witness the Royal de-
barkation.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived
at half-past three o'clock, attended by Lord William
Paulet. At a quarter to four o'clock, Lord Elphinstone,
Lord in Waiting to the Queen, who is appointed to at-
tend upon the King Hanover during his sojourn in
England, and General Buckley, arrived at the dockyard
from Buckingham Palace in one of the Queen's carriages,
and joined the party of officers waiting to receive the
King and the Queen.
At ten minutes after 5 o'clock the approach of the
Black Eagle, Admiralty yacht, with the Hanoverian
flag flying at the main, was telegraphed from the summit
of the tower of Woolwich Church, and almost immedi-
ately afterviards this 'fine steamer was seen rounding the
point just below Woolwich Reach. The troops were
immediately drawn up, and the artillerymen called to
their guns. The Black Eagle came to her moorings in
mid-stream at half-past five o'clock.
The King and Queen, with their children, were upon
dock when the Duke of Cambridge stepped on board.
The interview between their Majesties and his royal
Highness was of the most cozdial and affectionate
character.
After a delay of about 20 minutes the King and
Queen, with the Royal children, descended the com-
panion, and stepped into the commodore's barge, and
were rowed to the landing-place, the white horse of
Hanover floating from the bow. The Royal party
landed, and ascended the steps, amid the thunder of a
royal salute from the battery on the wharf above.
The King was dressed in a plain blue frock coat and
military trousers. His Majesty was assisted up the
landing-steps by the Duke of Cambridge and Count
Kielmansegge. The Queen was handed up by Commo-
dore Eden.

As soon as their Majesties had reached the parade,
the cheers of the spectators assured them of a hearty
and generous welcome. The King took off his hat and
bowed repeatedly during his progress to the royal car-
riage. At this moment some officious civilian pushed
forward and whispered something to his Majesty. The
King looked back, and with great kindness said, " Call
upon me to-morrow in Grosvenor-place." The incident
might have disconcerted one less considerate than the
afflicted Monarch.

The King and Queen, with the youthful Princess Maria
and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, entered
the first carriage—an open phaeton, drawn by four
horses ; and at five minutes to six o'clock his Majesty
left the dockyard amid the reiterated cheers of the assem-
bled spectators.
The Crown Prince and the Princess Frederica, and
the ladies and gentlemen in the suite of the King and
Queen, followed in six other carriages.
The arrangements in the dockyard were most com-
plete, and the care and attention of Mr. Superintendent
Maltalieu and Inspector Feltham effectually prevented
either accident or inconvenience.

Their Majesties drove over Westminster-bridge, along

Parliament:street, by the Horse Guards, through St:
James's Park, and up Constitution-hill, leaving the park
by the triumphal arch, and turning down Grosvenor-
place to the residence of the Hanoverian Legation, where
the royal party arrived at seven o'clock.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester and
her Royal Highness the Duchess Caroline of Meeklen-
burgh Strelitz were in attendance at the Legation to re-
ceive their Majesties.
The King and Queen only retired for a few moments,
and presently left the residence of the Legation in a car-
riage-and-four, to pay a visit to her Majesty and the
Prince Consort, at Buckingham Palace. Upon the road
between the Palace and the Legation their Majesties
were met by the Queen and the Prince Consort, hasten-
ing to pay a visit of congratulation to their illustrious
relatives. The horses' heads were turned, and in a few
moments the Queen and Prince Consort met the King
and Queen in the hall of the Hanoverian Legation. The
interview between the Queen and her Royal cousins was
most affecting. Her Majesty remained for nearly half-
an-hour with her illustrious relatives.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and her
Serene Highness the Princess Adelaide of Hohenlohe,
and their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of
Saxe Coburg Gotha, visited their Majesties during the
evening.

Royal visitors, were re-conducted about one o'clock
yesterday morning by the Lord Chamberlain and the
other great officers of the household, to the ball-room,
where her Majesty and his Royal Highness remained
until a quarter before two o'clock, when they quitted
the state rooms. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of Saxe Cobourg Gotha left at the same time,
and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, with the
Princess Adelaide of Hohenlohe, the Duke of Cambridge,
and the Princess Mary, the Hereditary Grand Duke and
Grand Duchess and the Duchess Caroline of Mecklen-
burg-Strelitz, took their departure from the Palace.
Dancing ceased on the departure of her Majesty, and
the general company quitted the Palace.

Colonel the Hon. Charles Grey, Captain the Hon. Dud-
ley de Ros, and Sir James Clark, left Buckingham Palace
soon after two o'clock yesterday afternoon. for Errlswood

past five o'clock.

at five minutes past seven o'clock yesterday evening.,
from Woolwich. At a quarter past seven o'clock the
