with flags, and away, far as the eye could reach A
through the haze or falling salw streamers waved
in the wind, beckoning the Reyal Lady to some
northern and bolder clime.
It was at this moment that two accidents oe.
curred, the latter of which was fraught with some
danger to the Prince Consort, the two young
Princes, the Duke of Cambridge, and several other
persons. We have spoken of a gangway; or tem.
porary connection between the Tereaeo-Pier and
Royal yacht. This was supported on the_pentoon
barge or lighter, on which passengers are nanally
landed, one end of it resting on the upper portion
of the pier. As the Victoria and Albert-moved
astern in order to bring her head round, she drove. ,
on to the bowsprit of the Monkey tug-boat, which •
went through one of the large plate glass windows
of the saloon. This naturally drew the- attention
of those who were at the end of the pier, and they
pressed forward, as did also the Royal party on the
gangway. Just at the same moment, one of the
ferry steamers coming across the river narrowly
escaped swamping two small boats full of passen-
gers, and having at the time some way upon her, .
she was unable to bring her head round sufficiently -
slorp, and thus ran her starboard paddle-boz
against the lighter, carrying away a large portion •
of it with a great crash. This, of course, shook the
pier and loosened the standards supporting the
temporary gangway. The Royal party fell back
in alarm, the Prince catching hold of his sons, and
calling out, " Where is George ?" meaning the
Duke of Cambridge. Lord Alfred Paget. also •
rushed forward, calling out, " Where is the
Prince t" [t is unnecessary to say the platform..
was spedily vacated, happily without accident.
While in sight of Gravesend the Royal yacht
proc2eded slowly down the river, but her speed was
afterwards increased, and it was undet•stood that if
her sailing master, Mr. Price, could secure his great
object of getting clear of the sands and flats before '
dark, he would not hesitate to cross the North Se&.
during the night.
As soon as the equadron was out of sight the
Royal party left the pier for the South-Eastern .
Railway station. As they passed through the town-
they could not but observe the singular contrast
which the appearance of the streets presented. "The
lights were not fled, neither were the garlands •
dead," but the continued fall of snow had converted
all into huge bridal wreaths, whiter than the
orange blossom itself. On arriving at the station
the Royal party entered a special train which con-
veyedlthem to Bricklayers' Arms, whence they pro.
ceeded to Buckingham Palace, where they arrived
at four o'clock.
After the departure of the Royal patty, the mayor
of Gravesend entertained a large party of the
officials, together with the military escort (the
Cobham Troop of the West Kent Yeomanry), his •
confreres of Rochester and Maidstone, the county
members, and many other notabilities, in the As-
sembly Rooms—in all about 300 persona.
After the usual toasts, the party separated, hap-
pily, however, to be assembled again at the ball
which took place later in the evening in the As-
sembly Rooms. The cempany was brilliant and
numerous, and dancing was kept uli to a late hour,
not the least interesting of the personages being
the bevy of damsels who had in the morning strewn
with flowers the pathway of their youthful and
newly-married sister.

rence to the irregularities of the mail service, and
a detail is given of the past irregularities, from
which it appears that, instmd of six full-power
steam vessels between Suez aild Sydney, there have
never been more than four at one time, and for the
greater part of the period only three.

DEPARTURE OF THO PRINCE AND
PRINCESS FREDERICK WILLIAM. OF
PRUSSIA.

The following addi'ional particulars in continua-
tion of the event which appeared in The Sun of
I yesterday will be found interesting
' The following directors' of the South Eastern
Railway Company were in attendance to receive
the Royal pair ;—The Hon. Jas. Byng (the chair-
man), Mr. W. Gordon Thompson (deputy-chair-
man), Mr. Coles Child, Mr. Seymour Teulon, Mr.
John Cross, Mr. Chas. Gilpin, M.P., Mr. Alei.
Kay, Mr. Jonathan Miller, Capt. D. Warren, Mr.
John Anderson, alai Mr. H. Rich, M.P. When
the Princess Frederick William of Prussia entered
the ante-room, Miss Mary Eborall, the pretty little
daughter of the general manager, presented to her
a magnificent bouquet of very choice exotics, which
had been brought express from Paris on the previ-
ous evening, and which her Royal Highness most
graciously acknowledged. Mr. Eborall, Mr. Gil-
pin, and some other of the directors, conduced
their Royal Highnesses to the saloon carriage, which
occupied a central po-ition in the train.
The direction of the engine was taken by Mr.
James Cudworth, lecomuive superintendent of the
South-Eastern Railway, The train left the station
at eight minutes to one o'clock, not more than
seven minutes having intervened between the ar-
rival and the departure of the Royal party.
The illustrious party, on alighting at Gravesend,
thanked the directors for theirattention, and'Prince
Frederick William presented to Mr. Eborall,
manager of the railway, a very valuable ring, con-
sisting of a large topaz surrounded by brilliants.
Throughout the route from the railway to the
pier, the t oval party were enthusiastically cheered ;
and the scene when the Prince Cotteott, Prince
Frederick William, the Princess Frederick Wil-
liam, and the Prince of Wales alighted from the
Royal carriage was peculiarly interesting. As the
Princess alighted the cheers were immense, and
many a tongue seemed to say--
"Her form was fresher than the morning rose
When the dew wets its leaves; unstained and pure
As is the Fly and the rnouatain snow.'
Yet it could not fail to be noticed
" There was a soft and pensive grace,
A cast of thought upon her face."
Their Royal Highnesses were received by Mr.
Troughton (the mayor), the Corporation, Mr. C.
%V. Martin, M.P., Mr. J. %Vhatznan, M.P., the
Mayor and Town Clerk of Maidstone, the Mayor,
Recorder, and Town Clerk of Rochester, (to. The
Town Clerk (Air. Sharland) having presented the
address, their Royal Highnesses gracefully bowed
their thanks, and Miss Troughton, the daughter of
the mayor, then stepped forward and presented the
Princess with an elegant bouquet, which she was
graciously pleased to accept. The Royal party
were then conducted to the place of embarkation.
As the procession proceeded along the pier, the
following young ladies, dressed in short skirts of
white tarlatane, with the lightest of blue opera
cloaks, and vrre4lhsof white roses,,,. strewed flowers
from their hisketa in the path of the Prince and
Princess :

THE VOYAGE.
Were it not for the depressing influence of the
weather, no portion of the pageant of yesterday
would have surpassed the scene upon :•the Thames
between Gravesend and the Nore for its real mag-
nificence and splendour. The river was literally
covered with craft, all festooned with signal Rags
and laurel, and bearing the national standards of
England and Prussia. The deck of every vessel was
crowded with gentlemen and ladies, all anxious to
catch a farewell glance of the Royal bride ere she
left the shores of her native land for the home of
her adoption ; and, though the snow fell heavily,
and no street slush could be more chilling or
more uncomfortable than the wet boards on
which they were standing, no degree of cold
could freeze the warm loyalty of the people ;
and they bore up against all annoyances, and pre-
ferred the deck to the saloon. Their endurance de-
served to be rewarded ; but it is in sight-see-
ing as in other affairs of life, few get their real
des..?rts, and yesterday the thousands who were on
the river had no other means of knowing that the
Royal party had embarked than that conveyed to
them by the huzzas from shore, and the uplifting
of Captain Deuman's hat in salutation of
his illustrious passengers. This took place a few
minutes before three o'clock. The crews of the
Alacrity, the Vivid, and the other vessels of the
Royal Navy, manned their yards. The Royal
Standard was hauled down from the mainmast of
the Victoria and Albert, and the Royal Ensign of
Prussia, with the Blank Eagle upon the Cross, was
hoisted in its place. The signal to get under weigh
was then given, and amidst the rapturous cheers of
the immense multitude which thronged both
shores, and the inspiring strains of the National
Anthem which proceeded from the bands on board
of different vessels, the bridal flotilla took its de-
parture. The guns of Tilbury fort fired a Royal
salute, which was answered by a similar compli-
ment from the Kentish shore. For several miles
down the river the Royal yacht and the Prince
Frederick William alternately passed and re-
passed each other, and on each .occasion of their
coming side by side the loyal excursionists on
board the latter vessel enthusiastically cheered
the bridal party. A Royal squadron accom-
panied the Victoria and Albert, and to vessels
coming up the river the scene must have
been somewhat startling. The Royal yacht had
steamed some 12 or 14 miles from Gravesend when
she 'ran into the stern of a barque, the Ryhope, of
Hartlepool, bearing up the river, and carried away
the whole of her taffrail. The rudder of the Ryhope
was left bare, and the debris hanging to the stern
gave a very alarming aspect to the accident, which
we may add was altogether unavoidable, so far as
the Royal yacht was c-mcerned, and indeed the
wonder is how she was able to get clear of the im-
mense number of boats and steamers which thronged
the river at the time of her departure from Graves-
end. Immediately upon the occurrence of the
collision the Royal yacht slackened steam, but
upon ascertaininc, that the injured vessel was in no
way imperilled, she proceeded on her voyage. Mr.
Churchward, of the Mail Steam Packet Company,
at once lowered a boat, and with some of the crew
of the Frederick William, went to the assistance of
the injured vessel ; but happily there was no neces-
sity for his interference. It had been the original
intention of those on board the mail steamer to
have accompanied the Royal yacht as far as the
Nore. But in consequence of the state of the
weather this intention was abandoned, and imme-
diately after the collision already mentioned, the
Frederick William parted company with the Royal
yacht.

Whilst this was going on a somewhat curious
scene took place at the entrance to the pier. The
Duke of Cambridge and Lord Alfred Paget,
Equerry to her Majesty, being enveloped in stout
grea'coats, and somewhat behind the rest of the
Royal party, were opposed admission by over
anxious officials, and it was not without some re-
monstrance and exertion that they were allowed to
proceed amidst the cheers and laughter of the com-
pany. The Royal party having embarked on board
the Victoria and Albert, a number of vessels lying
around her gave her a royal salute, their yards were
manned, and cheer upon cheer was echoed from the
raver to the land, and rt-echoad from the land to
the river. The Royal servants having requested
that 10 or a dozen of the seamen might be allowed
to assist them in putting the luggage of the Royal
pair on board, another curious scene ensued, tome
50 or 60. stalwart tars starting for the purpose—
eack appearing diNappointed if he were not allowed
to carry something, however trifling, from the car-
riages to the vessel ; and great was the seeming
triumph of one hearty fellow who had secured the
carrying of a cat-pet-bag, whilst many of his com-
rades had to return to the vessel empty-handed,
notwithstanding that they made such a division of
labour as would have delighted tho most ultra of
utilitarian ecouomists ; one being pleased to bear
a bat-box, and another delighted at being entrusted
with a lady's shawl. Thus has Eugland's daughter
loft her native land.

THP, WEATHER AND THE PARKS.—Yesterday the
seven,' parks at the West-end were completely deserted,
in consequence of a heavy fall of snow, which continued
for several hours. Numerous accidents occurred among
pedestrians in consequence of the slippery state of the
streets, but none of the persons admitted into the hos.
pitais were fatally injured. The traffic of vehicles wan
considerably interrupted through the state of the prin-
cipal thoroughfare of the metropolis, which were covered
with snow.

The party admitted on board the Royal yacht
was very exclusive. The Prince Consort, with the
Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, and the Duke of
Cambridge, attended by the members of the suite
who had come down in the Royal carriages, alone
accompanied the Prince and Princess Frede-
rick William on board. Luncheon was now
served, and during the time occupied by this part-
ing repast the crew of the yacht made themselves
busy in alsisting the royal servants to bring the
luggage of the Prince and Princess and their suite
on board. A few minutes before three o'clock he
came ashore, accompanied by the Prince of Wales
and Prince Alfred, when he was loudly cheered by
the crew • and it is no disparagement to those
royal youths to say that their eyes bore sad evidence
of the sufferings they had ead ured in p irting with
a beloved sister. The Prince Consort himself looked
sorrowful, but calm, as if he had mastered great
internal emotion, wAle the Duko of Cambridge

LORD COWLEY AND TEIE FUNERAL OF TUE LATE QUEEN-
MOTHER OF OUDE.—On the occasion of celebrating the
funeral rites of her Majesty the Queen-Mother of Oude,
those of her family who had repaired to Paris for the
purpose of doing honour to ber obsequies, desirous to
k'h
Lord Cowley, respect as
British Ambassador, upon the
possible, requested an interview
with waLgnrid co
subject. This request having been acceded to, the hour
of 2 p.m. on Wednesday, the 27th ult., was appointed as
the time cf the interview. Accordingly, the Vakeel of
her late Mcjesty repaired to the official residence of the
Ambassador. On arriving there, and making known
his errand, he was, to his utter surprise ' and tas oni .
ruent, informed, through Lord Cowley's secretary, that
his lordship bad importint foreign business to transact,
and that, with reference to a request made that his lord.
ship should apply to the Emperor to allow an honorary
troop to attend the funeral ceremony, such application
must be made to the French Government, as he declined
to interfere in the matter. The Vakeel then applied as
directed, when a note was sent in answer, stating that
the French Government were willing to show every
demonstration of esteem and honour to the Queen's
remains, provided the English Ambassador would apply
to them. The result of this communication was made
known to his Excellency, and a reply promised next
morning before 9 o'clock. The time. passed, however ;
no one Aer was received, excepting that Lord Cowley
had lift Paris for England. Thus, for the present, the
matter rests.

The curtain has fallen 1 " The daughter of
England" has, for the first time, departed from
our shores, and henceforward her lot will be cast
amongst strangers, with nothing to remind her of
the land where she was loved and cherished, not
only by friends and relatives, but by every true-

deep emotion at the leave-taking—that her fresh
