THE PRINCE OF PRUSSIA.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia left the Le-
gition yesterday morning shortly before ten o'clock in
one of the royal carriages, and, accompanied by his suite,
proceeded to the Middlesex side of Westminster-bridge,
where the Waterman steamer, No. 12, was in waiting to
receive the royal party.
Upon alighting his Royal Highness was conducted on
board the steamer by Baron Thill, and the whole of the
party having embarked, the vessel let go her moorin,;s,
and dropped down the river at a slow rate, affording the
Prince an excellent opportunity of observing the mode
in which tha traffic of the " great metropolis" is carried
on. The steamer having proceeded under London-
bridge, passed through the pool, and made her way ra-
pidly past Poplar and Limehouse, toDeptford and Green-
wich, where the speed was again slackened to enable the
Prince to take a hasty observation of the dockyard at the
former, and the magnificent hospital at the latter place.
The steamer proceeded onwards as far as Blackwell pier,
on arriving opposite which she put hack, and in the
course of a very few minutes reached the Tunnel pier,
where his Royal Highness landed, and, accompanied by
his suite, proceeded to the entrance of this great work,
where Sir Isamb.!rt Brunel and the Secretary to the
Company were in attendance to receive the royal party.
After walking twice through the arches, his Roy-al High-
ness and suite took their departure, entering the car-
riages, which had previously arrived, and driving direct
to the London Docks, where the royal party were re-
ceived by several of the Directors. His Royal Highness
walked down the principal jetty, and afterwards inspected
the great vault. On leaving the docks Om royal party
proceeded to the Bank of England, where they were re-
ceived by Mr. Cotton, the Governor, Mr. Heath, Deputy-
Governor, and several of the Directors, by whom they were
conducted through the various offices; and subsequently his
Royal Higness partook of a splendid dejeuner prepared
for the occasion, which was served in the Bank parlour.
His Royal Higness remained at the Bank considerably
more than an hour, and upon leaving expressed himself
much gratified with all that he had seen. From the Bank
the royal party proceeded to the Tower, where they were
received by Colonel Gurwood, and conducted by that
gentleman over this ancient fortress. From thence his
Royal Higness proceeded to the British Museum, where
he was received by Mr. Paniezzi, the librarian, and Mr.
Forshall, the secretary, who conducted the distinguished
party through the libraries to the Egyptian Saloon, and
through the Gallery of Antiquities ; after inspecting
which his Royal Highness was compelled to retire, with-
out viewing the other portion of the colloction, in conse-
quence of the advanced period of the day. His Royal
Highness here entered Chevalier Bunsen's state carriage,
and with his Excellency proceeded to Portman-square,
in order to pay a visit to the Marchioness of Douglas
(Princess of Baden), with whom the Prince remained a
short period, and then returned to the Legation, which
he reached shortly after six o'clock.
Subsequently his Royal Highness walked out with Ba-
ron Thill, returning to the Legation about seven o'clock.
His Excellency the Chevalier Bunsen gave a grand
entertainment last evening, at the Legation in Carlton-
house-terrace, in honour of his Royal Highness the
Prince of Prussia's visit. The festivities commenced with
a grand banquet, at which the following distinguished
personages were present :—The Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Grand Duke
and Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, Prince Edward of
Saxe Weimar, the Marquis and Marchioness of London-
derry, the Earl and Countess of Westmoreland, the Duke
of Wellington, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl and
Countess of Haddington, Lord and Lady Bloomfield, the
Earl :of Ripon, Marquis and Marchioness of Douglas,
and Mr. Vernon Harcourt. There were also present, of
his Royal Highness's suite—Count Konigsmark, Baron
Schleinitz, Count Herman Puckler, and Baron A. Thill.
His Excellency's family circle included Lady and Miss
Hall, Mr. E. Bunsen, and Baron Thill, secretary to the
Legation ; the list being concluded with Baron Knese-
beck and Lady Caroline Murray, in attendance respec-
tively on the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of
Gloucester.

After dinner, his Royal Highness proposed the health
of her Majesty the Queen, which was drunk with all the
honours ; after which the band, who were stationed in
an adjoining apartment, played the National Anthem.
His Excellency Chevalier Bunsen next gave the health
of the Queen Dowager, Prince Albert, and the rest of the
Royal Family.

'i'he Duke of Cambridge next proposed the health of
the King of Prussia, which was followed by that of his
Royal highness the Prince of Prussia, proposed by his
Grace the Duke of Wellington.
The Prince of Prussia next rose, and with consider-
able emphasis gave "Field Marshal the Duke of Wel-
lington, the Hero of Waterloo," a sentiment which it is
hardly necessary to say was received with the greatest
enthusiasm, the band striking up " See the conquering
hero comes."

The ladies retired at this period, and after a short in-
terval the Duke of Cambridge again rose, and concluded
a few eulogistic remarks by proposinc, the health of the
Princess of Prussia, which was responded to by the com-
pany will all the honours.
The Marquis of Londonderry subseqnently gave as
the last toast of the evening, " The Prussian Army, and
the memory of Prince Blucher."
The guests shortly after retired to the suite of saloons
on the first floor of the mansion, where the company in-
vited to the ball given by his Excellency had already
begun to assemble.
