MORNING SUN
visiT OF. THE KING OF PRUSSIA

TO ST. PAUL'S.
His Majesty the King of Prussia attended
Divine Service yesterday morning at St. Paul's
Cathedral. It is understood, that when his Ma-
leuset
t()n
-ifirst caught sight of that wonderful pro-
of Sir Christopher Wren's genius—the
stupendous dome of the Metropolitan Cathe-
dral—he expressed a desire to attend the
solemnization of Divine Service within its walls.
An intimation of this fact was given to the
ecclesiastical authorities, who immediately made
• arrangements for the gratification of his Majesty's
wishes, and yesterday morning was the time
wed on for the King's visit. On Friday Mr.
I'4 W. Harvey was consulted by the Cathedral
_Authorities as to the Arrangements for preserving
order on the occasion. Persons having tickets
the choir were admitted at the Dean's gate
°u di south side of the church, and were
directed to be in attendance there be-
ShoShtly nixie
and half-after nine o'clock.
_ oi.e ten o'clock his Majesty the
King of Prussia arrived and was received at the
door by the ecclesiastical authorities, and con-
ducted to his seat, that usually occupied by
D.." Sovereigns of. England when they visit St.
441'8/ in the choir.. The stall next to his Ma-
JestY was occupied by his Royal Highness the
Duk
c of Cambridge, who, when his Majesty
-ectned at a-loss, pointed out to him the different
xportions of the Service in the Prayer-book.
e.lB Majesty seemed Most attentive to the Ser-
,lice/ Which. was well performed, a marked im-
'l."ellient beinc, observable in the manner of
Ichanting,,, the resPonses. The Bishop of London
31'aelied, taking; as his text the 14th verse of
LlVllttetththetvci-Laj:ter f the Gospel according to St.
Th,D. A city set on a hill shall not be hid."
Lordthe Mayor was also present,. and occupied

Jse_s.tY left the Cathedral, and, attended by his

honour or entertaining his Majesty at luncheon.
After
hula remaining.• a short time at the Mans.ion-
ha Behis Majesty and suite returned to Bucking-
co' ,Palace. The streets along which the Royal
air;;ge passed were densly crowded, and his
Lis-te,Bt.Y was repeatedly cheered in the course of
tyr°gress. Great praise is due to Mr. D. W.
111„-„4.%_,eY, and the police force under his tom-
titlu, for the excellent arrangements made for
KP Preservation of order and decorum. The
shlng desired that his reception at the Cathedral
4ec41,1d be quite private, and consequently no
thylation whatever was made in the character of
e services.
