VISIT OF THEIR MAJESTIES TO WOOL-

WICH AND GREENWICH.

Yesterday having been fixed upon by their Majesties for
their visit to Woolwich Dock-yard and Greenwieh-Hos-
pital, considerable interest was excited in the vicinity of
those places, by the expectation of the intended honour.
In the immediate neighbourhood of the Metropolis at the
south side, the proposed visit seemed to be less known, or at
least some doubt appeared to exist whether the Royal
Visit would take place. This was owing in a great de-
gree to the fact of its having been announced in some of
the papers in the early part of the week, that the King
and Queen would be present at the launch of the Vernon.
Many persons went down on Tuesday to witness the
launch, in the expectation that their Majesties would be
present, but, having been disappointed in that respect, the
rumour was circulated and generally believed that the visit
was indefinitely postponed. Another rumour was also pre-
valent, that if their Majesties did go, they would go by
water, embarking at Somerset-house; but the state of the
weather for the last two or three days was so unfavourable
to any aquatic excursion, that it was generally believed
that at all events the visit would not take place this week.
The concourse of persons, therefore, who assembled in the
southern outlets of the metropolis to witness the Royal
procession was much smaller than usual on such occasions.
There were, however, considerable numbers waiting from
an early hour in the morning, in the line from Westmins-
ter-bridge to the Bricklayer's Arma, and along the Dept-
ford-road, and notwithstanding the little promise which
the morning gave of a fine day, numerous groups of well-
dressed persons took up and kept their positions on several
parts of the line through which the Royal corleye was ex-
pected to pans.
At 11 o'clock their Majesties anti suite, in seven of the
Royal carriages, each preceded by two outriders, and
having each two servants blhind, left St. James's Palace,
and went in the usual route over Westminster-bridge, and
through the London-road along the Kent and Deptford-
roads. Their Majesties were preceded by a detachment of
the 9th Lancers, and escorted by a troop of the same re-
giment. Amongst the members of the Royal Family
who accompanied their Majesties, wero their Royal High-
nesses the Dukes of Cumberl Ind Gloucester, the Duchess
of Cumberland, the Princess Augusta, and the two young
Princes of Cambridge and Cumberland. In their suite we
observed Lord Hill, Lord Combermere, Lord Byron,
Lord A. Beauclerc, Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, Lady
A. Fitzclarence, Madlle. d'Este, and the Marchioness of
Westmeath.
As the Royal procession moved along, their Majesties
were loudly and cordially cheered by the several groups
who had stationed themselves on the line expecting their
arrival. These salutations were graciously acknowledged
by the King and Queen, who repeatedly bowed to the
people as they passed. It was expected by the good people
of Greenwich, that the procession would pass through
that town on its way to Woolwich, and, as far as shutting
up of shops, anti here and there a tasteful display of flags
and banners from some of the houses, they had made a
holiday for the occasion ; but they, like many of the lieges
in the same line, were not fully in the secret of the Royal
movements. The procession moved over Blackheath to
Woolwich, at which place a party of the Royal horse Ar-
tillery was stationed to keep the streets clear.
At ten minutes after twelve o'clock, a flourish of trum-
pets announced the arrival of the Royal party at the gates
of Woolwich dock-yard. The guard of honour, which had
been under arms there from an early hour, immediately
made ready to pay the accustomed honours to Ma-
jesty. The persons in the dock-yard, who till then had
been sauntering about as inclination prompted them, began
to congregate about the central storehouse, and prepared
to give to their Sovereign and his consort that warm and
affectionate welcome which they have both so richly
merited. As soon as the gates were opened, the band of
the Marines struck up the national anthem, the military
presented arms, and time King entered, with
his suite, amid the loud cheering of the assembled
company. Ilis Majesty, after a graceful acknowledgment
of the enthusiastic acclamation with which he was re-
ceived, proceeded to inspect various parts of dock-yards,
to which Sir James Graham and Captain Elliot directed
his attention. The object which most attracted his at-
tention was the Royal Lousia, a miniature frigate,
launched on Wednesday last, and intended as a present to
the King of Prussia. On his road to the new basin, in
which this pretty toy for Sovereignty is now stowed away,
the King passed two magnificent ships, which are now
building, the Boscateen, of 80, and the Trafalgar of
120 guns. After gratifying his curiosity in this part of
the yard, his Majesty, who walked cheerfully, but rather
infirmly, proceeded towards the river, on which the Royal
barges had long been waiting for his reception. The day,

We may here remark, that though at this moment everys
appearance threatened rain, his Majesty, with that anxiou,
desire which he has always shown to gratify his subjects
would net enter any of the decked boats which were wait-
ing for his reception. Though many of their suite were
in barges well secured against the severity of the weather,
their Majesties were rowed in a barge of which the awning
was purposely taken down. By this arrangement the
crowds who were stationed on the frontage of the docks
towards the river were enabled to obtain a full view of the
gratifying spectacle, which is presented to a free people
by the voluntary presence of their Sovereign amongst
them. As his Majesty proceeded towards Greenwich,
the scene became more likely and interesting. The sky,
which had long promised rain, seemed determined to belie
its promise, and thus it happened that on the arrival of
the Royal party ofl Blackwall, his Majesty was gratified
with the sight of a numerous population both on the land
and on the water, anxious to greet him with the most
loyal and enthusiastic acclamations. Indeed the coup
d(eil at that moment was of the most heart-stirring de-
scription. The tide was flowing in full force up the
river, the Royal procession—in itself most striking and
picturesque—was skirted by many private yachts and
cutters, and was closed by an Admiralty steamer filled
with a numerous detachment of soldiers, and a dense mass
of merchant-vessels which, with expanded sails, were has.
tening to deposit their cargoes in the well-protected docks
of London. The shore was crowded with thousands of
well-dressed individuals, who, in their loud huzzas
for " William the Reformer," must have read a moral
lesson to the Dukes of Cumberland and Gloucester,
of which none but themselves could mistake the import.
Greenwich Hospital, too, was in itself a most interesting
picture. The walk before it was crowded with specta-
tors. Within the rails a strong guard of artillery were
stationed in military array, and near them a long line of
those hardy veterans to whom the nation grudges not their
well-merited pensions. The porticoes in front of the
Chapel and of the Painted Hall were crowned with a
living mass of anxious spectators ; and the steps between
the two were filled up with the dense ranks of the girls
and boys of the Naval Asylum, supported in the rear by a
bristling line of pikemen and pensioners. It was twenty
minutes past one o'clock when the Royal party took the
water, and at ten minutes past two their ears were greeted
with the grateful acclamations of the pensioners of Green-
wich. At that time the hoisting of the royal standard in
the centre of the grand square of the Hospital, and the
firing of a royal salute from the Park, announced the land-
ing of the Royal party. The baud of the Royal Artillery
playing the national anthem,—the veteran sailors pre-
senting their pikes, the soldiers their arms, and the boys of
the Naval Asylum waving their caps and joining with
three hearty diem, which were raised by the assembled
crowds, naval, military, and civil,—gave to their Ma.
jestits a reception of which the King and Queen of Eng-
land might well be proud, receiving it, as they (lid, in the
centre of an institution which proved at once the greatness
and the gratitude of a free peop!s.

Their Majesties were received on their landing by
Admiral Sir Richard Keats, the Governor, and several
other officers of the hospital. The King and Queen pro-
ceeded immediately to the Governor's house, from which,
after having partaken of a splendid dejeutte ti la fourchette,
they proceeded to inspect the Hospital. They first went
tJ the Painted Hall, as it is called, in which are placed

the portraits of many of the most di.tinguished of the
naval heroes of England, besides several pictures of some
of the most memorable engagements in which they had
asserted the honour of their native land. This hall, the
plintings on the walls and roof of which would well repay
a visit at any time, presents one of the largest and best col-
lections of the portraits of naval men now extant. Many
of these are originals presented by the late King, and some
few are copies painted by his desire for the purpose : others
are the donations of private individuals. From the Painted
Hall the Royal party came into the Grand Square, where
the veteran pensioners were drawn up in double ranks,
cccupying three of the sides. His Majesty first inspected
the ranks of the children of the Greenwich Asylum, and
next passed along the lines formed by the pensioners, with
whose appearance he expressed himself greatly pleased.
From the square the Royal party proceeded to the western
gate, where they re-entered their carfages, and at five
o'clock proceeded to town, accompanied by the same royal
escort which attended them in their way down.
On leaving the Hospital their Majesties were greeted
with loud cheers, which were repeated by the immense
multitudes assembled in Greenwich, and in the greater
part of the line between that and London. Their Majes-
ties arrived at St. James's Palace about six o'clock.
