EMBARKATION OF THE KING

OF PRUSSIA.

WOOLWICH, Fan. 4.—At an early hour this morning the
garrison and town of 'Woolw ich presented an animated scene,
owing to the preparations in progress for the reception of the
Kin,;, the Prince, and Duke Ferdinand of Saxe Cobourg, was

observed approaching, and the signal being given, the Royal
carriage containing the
standard was hoisted on the flag-staff, and a Royal salute an-
nounced the arrival of the Royal party, who immediately
alighted and were introduced to several of the officers.
'rile exercises of the troops immediately commenced by the.
Royal Horse Aitillery and Fiera Batteries marching past at
slow and quick time, and tiring; but owing to the softness of
the ground, or more probably owing to an evident anxiety in
the countenance of the King of Prussia to embark, the troops
did not gallop past, or fire so many rounds as on former occa-
sions. The Royal Horse Artillery, however, unlimbered their
guns, and his Majesty went up to them while they sat upon the
wheels, and remained with apparent satisfaction to witness the
guns remounted in an incredibly short space of time. The
Royal Horse Artillery were immediately afterwards ordered
home, and the field batteries to proceed to the marshes.
His Majesty the King of Prussia was by this time joined by
Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington, who walked on one
side, and the Duke of Cambridge on the other, across the
common and through the south-west gate to the Repository,
and during the progress of the Royal and distinguished visitors,
the immense concourse of spectators who had assembled had
excellent opportunities of witnessing the King of Prussia and
Prince Albert, and-the grand and brilliant staff present in ho.
nour of the occasion.

The crowd following in the direction of the caarsligs on this
occasion was most immense, and one so numerous has seldom
been witnessed at Woolwich. Indeed, the attempts of the police
to prevent the people from entering at the marsh-gate only in-
duced them to break through the hedges, and many most ludi-
crous scenes were witnessed of torn coats amongst the gentle-
men, and the women caught in the hedges by their veils and
bonnets, or where their dresses were of slight texture. None
of these obstacles, however, deterred the people from pushing
forward, and they entered in masses in defiance of hedges,
banks, and ditches,land the police. At the time of the firing
of the rockets, the only practice carried on, there could not
have been less than WOO persons in the marshes and adjoin-
ing fields.

At two o'clock the King of Prussia entered the Fast gate of
the Royal Arsenal, and within less than a quarter of an hour a
Royal salute announced that he had embarked in the Firebrand
steam-vessel, which had dropped down to the West wharf of
the Royal Arsenal to receive him. Prince Albert and his suite
left Woolwich about three •'cluck, escorted by the Life Guards,
for Buckingham Palace.

CUPAR-FIFE.—On Tuesday, while the Pres-
bytery of Cupar were considering the presentation to
kettle, which had been laid upon their table, the Rev.
Mr. Birrell, of Cupar, feeling himself unwell, retired
into the Session-house, and, we regret to say, ahnoit
instantly expired. Medical aid was procured, but
without avail. The Presbytery, in consideration of this
melancholy event, adjourned their proceedings. Mr.
Birrell, previous to his appointment. to Cupar, had been
minister of •Westruther, and in both places was greatly
beloved. On the death of the father of the late Attorney-
General, now Lord Campbell, who had for many years
the first charge in the parish, Mr. Birrell succeeded to •
the second charge.
