ARRIVAL Or TWO SOVEREIGNS.
The Emperor of Russia reached Woolwich late on
Saturday night in a Government steamer, and immecli-
aKely proceeded to town. He arrived in London about
half-past eleven o'clock, and drove, we believe, to Mivart's
Hotel.
The King of Saxony arrived at Buckingham Palace
on Saturday from the Isle of Wight. He is a fine looking
man, nearly six feet high. His countenance bespeaks a
high degree of intelligence, combined with a benevolent
and affable expression. The object of his Majesty's visit
to England, apart from -the natural desire to pay his
respects to the Queen, is stated to be, that he may have
an opportunity of viewing the magnificent resources of
Great Britain, as shown in her manufactures, and in the
high state of cultivation at which she has arrived. His
Majesty is accompanied by his Prime Minister, M.
Minkowitz, with whom he frequently engages in conver-
sation on subjects concerning the relative condition of
England and the various continental governments. The
King is in his forty-seventh year, though, from the loss
of some of his front teeth, his appearance would indicate
that lie was ten years. older.
The Emperor of Russia, we understand, proceeded
to Buckingham PalaCe at an early hoar on Sunday, to
p 3 'his respects to the Queen, and in the evening a
dinner was given in honour of the two SoVereigns. The
Emperor Nicholas is in the 48th year of his age. He is
of a dark complexion, has a fine, manly appearance, and
the most unaffected demeanour. His manner altogether',
forms a perfect contrast to the accounts published of
him in several foreign journals. He paid a visit to this
country some twenty-eight years ago, accompanied by
his brother, the. Grand Duke Michael:
JOURNEY OF THE EMPEROR NICHOLAS.

WOOLWICH, SATURDAY, MIDNIGHT.—His Imperial Ma-
jesty, Nicholas the First, Emperor of all the Russias, attended
by General Count Orloff, and a numerous suite, left Rotter-
dam at half-past two o'clock on Friday afternoon for Eng-.
land, in the Dutch Government steamer Cyclops, Captain
Balken. and arrived off the royal dockyard at ten minutes to

ten o'clock this evening.
The Emperor reached the Hague on Thursday night, from
Berlin, and left that place on the following morning for Rot-
terdam, accompanied by M. Ryk, the Minister of the Navy to
the King of Holland. His Imperial Majesty embarked about
two o'clock in the Cyclops. The Merassie, Captain Baars,
and the Cerberus, Lieutenant May, also Government steamers,
in the service of the King of Holland, being appropriated to
the accommodation of the various members of the Emperor's
suite, and to the conveyance of the royal carriages and bag-
gage.
At half-past two o'clock the squadron left Rotterdam, M.
Ryk accompanying the Emperor as far as Helvoetsluys,
where the Cyclops cast anchor at eight o'clock in the even-
ing, when that officer took leave of his Majesty. At three
on Saturday morning, the royal squadron set sail for Eng-
land.

Considerable uncertainty had prevailed as to the exact
period at which the Emperor would arrive, and Baron Brun-
now, the Russian Minister at the Court of London, went down
to Woolwich at an early hour on Saturday, for thel purpose
of being in readiness to receive his Majesty at any time.
Baron Brunnow was accompanied by the Muslim Consul-
General, Le Chevalier Benkhausen, and both these gentlemen
took up their quarters at the residence of the Captain-Su-
perintendent; Sir Francis Collier, in the dockyard, where
they slept last night. At an early hour this morning they
were upon the parade, in the full.expectation of the Em-
peror's immediate arrival. General Lord Bloomfield, the
Commandant of the garrison ; Sir James Collier, the Captain
Superintenednt of the dockyard, and Major-General Cubbage
were also in waiting to receive the illustrious tourist. -No
intelligence as to his Majesty having left the Continent,
however, arrived during the day, and all was uncertainty up
to the last moment, when just before ten o'clock, the Royal
squadron was observed by the men on the look-out coming
up Woolwich Reach.
. . .

Sir Francis Collier immediately put off in his barge for
the purpose of conveying Baron Brunnow and the Chevalier
Benkhausen on board the Cyclops to pay their respects to
the Emperor, and in a very few moments returned with his
Imperial Majesty and Count Orloff, who landed at the dock-
yard stairs, and at. once proceeded to the Captain-Superin-
tendent's residence to await the arrival of the carriages
which bad been ordered for the conveyance of the Royal
party to London.
The Emperor was attired in the Russian costume—his
commanding figure being enveloped in the ample folds of a
rich cloth cloak, trimmed with fur, while upon his head he
wore a sort of turban. His Majesty is upwards of six feet
high and of robust appearance. As the Royal party crossed
the parade, it was impossible to avoid being struck with the
remarkable appearance the Emperor presented. His tall
manly figure and open countenance set off to the greatest
possible advantage by the mode of dress adopted, was in itself
sufficient to stamp lulu as a truly royal personage.
On arriving at Sir Francis Collier's residence, the Emperor
was met by Lord Bloomfield, with whom his Majesty con-
versed for some time, and after expressing his acknowledg-
ments to the Captain Superintendent for the attention which
had been shown towards him, at half-past ten entered Baron
Brunnow's carriage in company with General Count Orloff,
and Grove rapidly off towards town. The following is a list
of the suite accompanying the Emperor to England :—Gene-
ral Count Orlott; Con sellier d'Etat and Adjutant to his Imperial
Majesty; General Adlerberg, Prince Radalwill, Prince Was-
selchikoft, and Captain Adlerberg, the three latter officiating
as Aides-de-Camp to the Emperor; and- Dr. Reinolds, his
Imperial Majesty's private physician.
The Emperor having expressed a wish, through Baron
Brunnow, that his arrival at Woolwich should take place as
privately as possible, no royal salute was fired when his Ma-
jesty landed, nor was there any guard of honour in attendance.
