VISIT OF HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY TO THE
QUEEN AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE.
Yesterday morning the Emperor rose shortly after eight
o'clock, and breakfasted in his private apartment with a
limited number of his suite before nine. After breakfast his
Majesty walked in the gardens at the rear of the embassy for
some time, unattended by any members of his suite.
Precisely at half-past nine o'clock his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, accompanied by Major-General Bowater and
the Hon. Captain Murray, arrived at the embassy from Buck-
ingham Palace, in one of the Royal carriages, on a visit to
the Emperor.
His Imperial Majesty was in the act of descending to re-
ceive his Royal Highness when both illustrious individuals
met on the grand staircase. Their meeting was of the most
affectionate and cordial character. The Emperor threw his
arms round the neck of the Prince Consort, and embraced
him fervently, Prince Albert returning his salute with great
apparent feeling.
The Emperor then led his Royal guest into the drawing-
room of the mansion, where they remained engaged in con-
versation for a considerable period. The Emperor inquired
affectionately after the Queen, and expressed an earnest hope
that his sudden arrival in England would not be allowed to
inconvenience her Majesty and the Prince in any way—
adding that he purposed to remain at any rate for a short
period in the mansion he then occupied. The Prince upon
this was understood to intimate that no inconvenience could
possibly result by the Emperor's immediate removal to the
Palace. Apartments had already been prepared, and it was
her Majesty's earnest desire that the Emperor should at once
remove thither with the whole of his suite. At ten o'clock
the Prince Consort took his departure, promising to return at
half-past one o'clock for the purpose of conveying the Em-
peror to Buckingham Palace on a visit to her Majesty.
Shortly beibre eleven o'clock, the Emperor, accompanied
by General Count Orloff, Baron Brunnow, and other members
of his suite, left Ashburnham House, to attend Divine service
at the chapel of the Russian Embassy, in Welbeck-street.
The chapel was not unusually crowded, probably owing to
the visit of the Emperor being altogether unexpected. The
service was performed by the Rev. Mr. Popoff.
At its conclusion the illustrious party returned to the Em-
bassy, arriving there at a few minutes after one o'clock.
The Earl of Hardwicke, one of the Lords in Waiting to her
Majesty, Lieut.-Colonel Berkeley Drummond, Groom in
Waiting, and Lieut.-Colonel Wylde, Equerry to Prince Al-
bert, arrived at Ashburnham House about half-past twelve
o'clock, and upon the return of the Emperor from chapel
were introduced to his Imperial Majesty. The Noble Earl
informed the Emperor that he had received for himself and
the two above-named officers her Majesty's commands to be
in attendance upon the Emperor during his stay in this
country. The Emperor was pleased to express his thanks
for the attention shown to him, and conversed with the Noble
Earl for some time.
At half-past one o'clock precisely his Royal Highness
Prince Albert returned to the Embassy, on this occasion
accompanied by Sir Robert Peel.
The carriage containing the Prince and Sir Robert Peel
drove into the court yard of the mansion, when his Royal
Highness alighted, and, with Sir Robert Peel, entered the
hall. Here they were met by the Emperor, and the Prince
having presented the Premier to his Imperial Majesty, the
Emperor shook hands heartily with Sir Robert.
The Emperor then entered the Prince's carriage, and, to-
gether with his Royal Highness, drove off towards Bucking-
ham Palace.

Sir Robert Peel rode in the second carriage, with General
Count Orloff and General Adlerberg, several members of the
Emperor's suite following in other carriage-4
There were very few persons assembled in Dover-street at
this period to witness the departure of the Royal cortege, and
no manifestation of loyalty took place beyond a respectful
uncovering of heads, as the illustrious individuals passed out
at the gates.

On arriving at Buckingham Palace the Emperor was pre-
sented to her Majesty by Prince Albert. His Imperial Ma.•
jesty subsequently partook of a splendid drjeuner to which
the Queen invited him, and afterwards paid a visit to the
King of Saxony, in his'apartments at the Palace.
At half-past two the Royal carriages were again ordered
to the gates for the-purpose of conveying the Emperor on a
round of visit's to the various members of the Royal family,
and at twenty-tive minutes to three his Imperialß perioyal Majesty
entered the first carriage, accompanied- by
ness Prii:ce Albert.
In the second carriage rode General Count Orloff and Baron.
Brunnow, and four other carriages were filled by the Ern-
-
peror s suite.
. A great many persons had. by this time assembled in the
park, and as the Royal oartege made its egress from the
marble arch in front of the palace, although the illustrious
party were not greeted with vociferous cheering, there was a
general and respectful obeisance performed bly the male por-
tion of the spectators, while the softer sex exhibited their
loyal feelings by waving of handkerehlefi, &e., all which
manifestations were graciously acknowledged by the .11,m_p_eror:,
The NRyal party brat proceeded to Marlboroughliouse
to pay a visit to the Queen Dowager, and thence went to

Cambridge with a call. The next visit made Was to her
