TIIE KING OF HOLLAND.

His Majesty rose early yesterday morning, and after breakfast
had interviews with several persons. His Excellency M. Dedet
visited his Majesty at an early hour. Dispatches, conveying in-
telligence of his Majesty's safe arrival in this country, were for-
warded by special courier during the morning to the Hague. At
twenty-five minutes to two o'clock the royal carriages were ordered
to convey his Majesty and suite to the Nine Elms terminus of the
South.Westein Railway, cn route for the isle of Wight, on a visit
to her Majesty and the Prince Consort. His Majesty rode in the
first carriage with his Excellency M. Dedel, Viscount Hawarden,
Lord in Waiting, and the Hon. Captain Alexander Hood, Groom
in Waiting to the Queen.
The suite followed in another royal carriage.
l'reparations for his Majesty's reception at the terminus had been
made by the officers of the Company during the morning, and Mr.
W. Chaplin (the Chairman of the Board), Mr. Boothby, and a
large party of the Directors, arrived at half.past one o'clock, for
the purpose of being in attendance to receive his Majesty.
On alighting, his Majesty was received by the Directors of the
Company, and conducted through the booking•uflice on to the
platform, along which the King walked, conversing in the most
affable mariner with Mr. Chaplin on the subject of the railway,
and remarking that the present was the first occasion on which he
had had an opportunity of travelling on a railway in Great Britain.
The beautiful saloon carriage, belonging to the Company, came in
for a full share of his Majesty's admiration. Its gorgeous appear-
ance was evidently a matter of some astonishment to the King, and
before entering it his Majesty walked up and down the platform
several times, examining both its external and interior ar-
langements.

The royal luggage having previously arrived at the station, De
time was lost in starting the train.
The King, in company with Esrl Dclawarr, his Excellency M.
Dedel, Colonel Baron Coehoorn, and other members of his suite,
had no sooner taken his seat in the carriage than the signal was

given, and the train was instansly set in motion, Mr. Gooch, the
superintendent of the locomotive department, taking the direction
of the engine. Mr. Martin, the superintendent of the line, and
Mr. Beattie, the chief of the carriage department, were among the
officers of the company who accompanied the royal party.
ARRIVAL AT THE ISLE OF WIGHT.

COWES, FRIDAY EVENING.—The King of Holland arrives here
this afternoon, on a visit to the Queen and I'rince Albert. Pre-
parations had been made at Norris Castle for the reception of his
Majesty and suite, the accommodation at Osborne House not being
sufficiently extensive.

His Royal Highness Prince ♦lbert left Osborne House and em.
barked in the steam yacht Fairy shortly before three for the
purpose of proceeding to Gosport to meet his Majesty on his ar-
rival, and accompanying him to the Isle of Wight.
The Marquis of Exeter, Lord Aberdeen, and Lord Jersey pre.
ceded the King of the Netherlands from London, whence they
took their departure by the express train at half-past twelve o'clock.
Upon the special train arrivirg at Gosport, his Majesty was re-
ceived by the military commander-in-chief of the district, Major.
General Pabenham, and the other military authorities. Guards
of honour were stationed at the railway terminus and at the Royal
Clarence Victualling-yard.
On alighting from the train the troops presented arms, and the
band struck up the national anthem.
his Majesty, after courteously acknowledging the attentions
paid him by the authorities, entered the royal carriage that was
in waiting to convey him from the terminus to the Clarence-
yard. He was loudly cheered by the persons assembled in and
about the railway station, and graciously acknowledged the en-
thusiastic reception with which he was met—an enthusiasm cer-
tainly not diminished by the recent records in the press of the
gallant services of his Majesty during the Peninsular war and in
the field of Waterloo, side by side with our own illustrious Wel-
lington.

His Majesty recognised Major-General Sir Hercules Pakenham
as an old military acquaintance, and shook him heartily by the
hand.

When his Majesty alighted from the carriage, at the place of
embarkation in the Clarence-yard, he was received by the naval
commander in-chief, Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, and by the
other naval authorities and the officers commanding the ships in
harbour. •

His Royal Highness Prince Albert was also waiting here to
meet and welcome his Majesty. The meeting between the royal
pair was most cordial.

The forts of the garrison fired a royal salute upon his Majesty's
arrival, and when the royal party were on board the steam-yacht
the Dutch standard was hoisted, and salutes were fired from her
Majesty's ships Victory and Excellent, and the Victory manned
her yards.

His Majesty and Prince Albert, and some of the noble personages
accompanying them, were conveyed on board the royal yacht in
Admiral Sir Charles Rowley's barge, the rest of his Majesty's suite
following in other barges. As the steamer, with the Dutch and
English standards at the mast head, proceeded on her course to the
mouth of the harbour, the men who were aloft manning the Vic.
tory's yards gave three cheers, which his Majesty acknowledged in
the most gracious manner. The shore on either side was thronged
with the inhabitants of the garrison, who also cheered his Majesty
as he passed out of the harbour. There was no man.of.war at
the anchorage at Spithead.
The royal party arrived here a few minutes after five o'clock.
As the steamer neared Cowes roads salutes were fired from the flirt
at West Cower Castle, and from the Royal Squadron Club-house
battery. Several of the yachts belonging to the Royal Yacht Squa-
dron also saluted his Majesty.
Carriages were in waiting at the landing.place, in which the
reyal party were conveyed to Osborne House, where the meeting
between her Majesty and the King would take place.
