Yesterday morning the Emperor rose slicltlY after eiglit

some time, unattended by any members of his suite.

the Emptkpi,
His Imperial Majesty was in the act of descending to re-
ceive his Royal Highness when both illnstripes individuals
met on the grand staircase. Their siteetingixas of the most
affectionate arid enrdial character. The Emperor threw his
arms round the neck or the Prinee Consort,' and embraced
bins fervently, Prince Albert returning his :ipigp with great
apparent feeling.
'pp Emperor then led his Royal guest into the drawing-
room of the manr,ion, where they remained engaged in con-
versation for a cousi4444le perll44. The Emperor inquired
affectionately after the Queen, ;Ind exp-ceed an tamest hops
that his sudden arrival in England would not he Mlowed to
inc,onvenience 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 wail understood to intimate that IPP9lWelllePee come
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 sass
remove Shither with the whole of his suite. At ten o'clock
the Prince Consort issok. his departure, promising to return at
half-past one o'clock for the peroose of conveying the Em-
peror to Rgekingham Palace on a visit to her lqii.je6iy.
Shortly heroic eleven o'clock, the Emperor, accompanied
by General Count Orioa, If atop Brunnow, and other members
of his suite, left Ashburnhain House, to attend Divine service
at the chapel of the Russian Embassy, in Welbecksstreet,
The chapel not unusually crowded, probably owing to
the visit of the EMPTPT bein altogether unexpected. The
service was performed by the 4qV altogether

At its conclusion the Illustrious party returned to the Em:
bassy, arriving there at a few minutes after one o'clock.

country. The t ilipPFPr 'WO pleased to express his thanks.
for the attention shown to ihim, 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 Hubert Peel.
The carriage containing the Prince and Sir Robert reel
drove into the court yard of the mansion, when this Royal
Highness alighted, and, with Sir Robert Peel, entered the
hall. Ilere 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.
Bobert Peel rode in the second carriage, with General
Count Orloff and General Adlerberg, several members of the
Emperor's suite following in other carriages.
There were very few persons assembled in Doversstreet at
this period to witness the departure of the Royal cottage, and
no manifestation of loyalty took place beyond a respectful
uncovering of heads, as the illustrious individuals passed out
at
the
egat
O arriving at 11441001 am Palace the Emperor was pre-
sented to her Majesty by Prince Albert, His Imperial Ma-
jesty subsequently partook of a splendid deJcuner to which
the Queen invited him, and afterwards paid a visit to the
King of Saxony, in his apartments at the Palace,
ii if two the Royal carriages were again ordered
to the gut a for thp purpose of conveying the Emperor on a
round of visits to thisvdtdo4S insmbers of the Royal family,
and at twenty-five minutes to three his IlliPerial Majesty
entered the first carriage, accompanied by his Royal Highs
news Albert.
In the second carriage rode General Count Orloff and Baron
Brunnow, and four oilier carriages were filled by the Em-
peror's suite.
A great many persons had by this time assembled in the
part. an 4 the Royal cortege made its egress front the

party were not gvesteu with i,o4!",er,Ts cheering, there was a

The Emperor then proceeded to Apsley House to honour
his Grace the Duke of Wellington with a visit. The Gallant
Duke descended to the hall to receive his Imperial Majesty
and the Prince Consort, himself conducting them to the
splendid saloon on the first floor of the mansion. The Em-
peror appeared delighted to meet the Gallant Duke, and
after shaking hands very cordially with him, entered into
conversation for some minutes, complimenting his Grace on
the splendour of his mansion and its appurtenances.
Thence the Royal cortege drove back to the Embassy
where the Emperor alighted and took leave of the Prince
Consort, not, however, before he had promised to accept an
invitation to dine with the Queen and his Royal Highness at
Buckingham Palace last evening.
At half-past four o'clock the Emperor retired to his private
apartment, and, being excessively fatigued from the exer-
tions of the last few days, fell into a sound sleep, from which
he did not awake until nearly six o'clock.
During this interval his Majesty the King of Saxony, at-
tended by the Baron Gersdorlf and M. Minkowitz, called at
the Embassy. The King would not allow the Emperor to
he disturbed, anti left Ashburnham House without seeing his
Majesty.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge also called
shortly after the King of Saxony had left. The Royal Duke
was attended by Baron Knesebeek, ar.d having conversed
for some time with Baron Brunnow, also left without seeing
the Emperor. This was the second time his Royal Highness
had called on the Emperor yesterday, without bring fortu •
nate enough to meet his Majesty, the Duke having reached
Ashburnham House just as the Emperor left in the morning
with Prince Albert.
At a quarter to eight o'clock, three of the Royal carriages
drove up to the Embassy, for the purpose of conveying the
Emperor and his suite to Buckingham Palace—and at a few
minutes before that hour his Imperial Majesty, accompanied
by General Count Orloff, got into the first, his suite entering
the succeeding carriages, which together drove off in the
direction of the Palace.
The Emperor wore the full dress uniform of a general
officer, and all the members of his suite (with the excep-
tion of Baron Brunnow and Dr. Reinholds) were similarly
attired.
His Imperial Majesty returned from the Palace about eleven
o'clock, and slept at the Embassy last night.
This day the Emperor will proceed from London to Windsor
Castle, on a visit to her Majesty, the Court being about to
remove to that place.
The Emperor of Russia is forty-eight years of age. His
Imperial Majesty has once before visited this country-, viz.,
in 1817, now nearly twenty-eight years ago. Notwithstand-
ing this lapse of time the Emperor had a most perfect recol-•
lection of all the striking points of the English coast, and
was continually walking to and fro on the deck as the Cyclops
came up the river, pointing out to the officers of the ship
the most remarkable objects on either side. His Majesty
has won golden opinions from the Dutch sailors and marines,
many of the old ones among whom he singled out
.and en-
gaged in conversation on subjects suited to their several
capacities.
When off Margate-roads, by the Emperor's especial desire,
dinner was served on the after-deck, upon such tables as the
exigencies of their position could supply. The Emperor ap-
peared to enjoy his repast exceedingly, and drank the Queen
of England's health on board after dinner, the crew respond-
ing to the sentiment in enthusiastic style.
Captain Hay, one of the Assistant Police Commissioners,
has been appointed to attend his Majesty during his stay in
this country. He has a small body of officers of the A divi-
sion under his command, and is attended by Mr. Superinten-
dent May and two or three inspectors.
Mr. Steed, who is attached to the private establishment at
the Palace, remains on duty at .Ashburnham House during
the Emperor's residence there.

companied by the Emperor of Russia and the King of
Saxony, and attended by their respective suites, will arrive

o'clock, the Queen and the Royal and illustrious visitors

Great Western Railway at three precisely, by a special train,
in the state carriage of the company.
From the unexpected arrival of the Emperor of Russia in
this country, and his visit to her Majesty at Windsor not

bustle have prevailed at the Royal residence to make the
necessary additional extensive preparations for the reception
of the Russian Autocrat.

Royal, and the Princess Alice, attended by the Dowager Lady
Lyttelton, will leave Paddington for Windsor by a special

the ensuing week, viz., on Tuesday next, to see the gold
vase given by her Majesty run for; and on Thursday, the
gold cup day.
A larger party will be present at the Castle during the
race-week than has been ever before known upon a similar
occasion. Amongst the distinguished personages who have
been honoured with invitations from the Sovereign are the
Duke of Wellington, the Right Hon. Sir Robert and Lady
Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Right Hon. Sir James Gra-
ham, the Earl and Countess of Jersey and Lady Clementina
Villiers, the Earl and Countess Delawarr and Lady West, the

cellency Baron de Gersdorff, his Excellency the Baron Brun-
now, the Earl of Rossiyn, Marquis and Marchioness of

course, on Tuesday and Thursday next, several of the royal
equipages will be forwarded to the Castle to- morrow, from

Laßn Joiew RUSSELL.—In Mr.l3.D'lsraelits work,
"Coningsby ; or, the New Generation," there is the fol-
lowing ellaraeter of the leader of the Whigs l—" Lord
John Russell has that degree of imagination which,
though evinced rather in sentiment than expression,
still enables him to generalise from the details
of his reading and experience ; and to take
those comprehensive views, which, however easily
deprecated by ordinary men in an age of routine,
are indispensable to a statesman in the conjunctures
in which we live. He understands therefore his posi-
tion ; and he has the ruerol intrepidity which prompts
him ever to dare that which his intellect assures
him is politic. He is, consequently, at the same time,
sagacious and bold in council. As an administrator,
he is prompt and ind,fatigable. He is tot a natural
avatar, and labours under physical deficiencies which
even a Demosthenie impulse could scarcely over-
come. But he is experienced in debate; quick in reply,
fertile in resource; 'takes large views; and frequently
compensates for a dry and hesitating manner by
the expression of those noble truths that flash
across the fancy, and rise spontaneously to the
lip, of men of poetic temperament when addressing
popular assemblies, if we add to this a private life
of dignified repute; the accidents of his birth and
severed from the man, the
reek, which never eau be

efficient leader.
