HER MAJESTY'S
GERMANY.

VISIT TO

MAYENCE, SUNDAY, Auc. 17.
The Queen and the Prince are taking a day's rest here,
after the almost incessant locomotion and excitement of the
last week. To-morrow morning they start at 7 o'clock for
Vurzburg, where it, is expected they will arrive at about 8
o'clock in the evening. They will go to the palace of the
King of Bavaria, where they ►•ill remain for the night, and
early the next day they go to Coburg, which, after another
tediousday's journey, they are to reach on Tuesday evening.
Her Majesty attends Divine service this afternoon at the
English church, where service will be performed by the Rev.
Mr. Dunnage, the English chaplain. In the evening the
royal party dine again with Prince William of Prussia, at
the Government-house.

There is very little stir in Alayence to-day. A few people
stand around the Hotel de L'Europe, staring at the sentinels
on duty, and hoping to catch a glimpse of the Queen, and
there have been one or two arrivals, among them the Grand
Duke of Hesse Darmstadt, who at once proceeded to visit
her Majesty at her hotel. In other respects the town of
Ma) ence is as quiet as so pretty and populous a place can be.
But the ordinary habits of the people are these of an English
holiday. They are to be seen, as in most German towns,
strolling about the streets, on the quays, and especially on
the bridge of brats, as gay and as idle as if life were made
for pleasure alone. Yet there are Froofs enough that the
population are not idle. The shops are not very inferior to
those in the largest cities, and the buildings are on a
magnificent scale. The new fortifications, too, which
are now building along the left bank of the Rhine, are
very fine specimens of workmanship. An additional
air of gaiety is given to the streets by the presence of
the Austrian and Prussian troops, whose glittering uniforms
of mingled while and blue mix prettily enough with the
general costumes of the people. One thing strikes a stran-
ger in Mayence—the excessive cleanliness of the town.
Anything more beautifully white and pure cannot be con-
ceived. The houses, the pavement, all seem as if they had
been specially prepared fir the occasion. It reminds one of
some of our best English watering-places. Mayence, too,
is full of associations ; but the chief interest to strangers
consists in its being the birthplace of Guttemberg, Thor-
waldsen's statue of whom is erected in a conspicuous place
in the city.
The following speech, delivered by the King of Prussia,
in proposing the health of her Majesty after dinner at.
Brfilil on Tuesday, the 12th instant, will be interesting
to the reader ; but, in order to enable him fully to under-
stand the sentiment conv.yed in it, it may be mentioned that
it was formerly the custom of the German armies, after having
won a battle, to lire, on the very field of battle, a round of all.
the artillery as a proclamation of victory. his was called
" Victoria Schiesseu." The customilias grown into desuetude,
but the term remains, and the word " Victoria" is, therefore,
in the Gelman language, and poetry especially, consecrated
to victory, and associated with the idea of a song of triumph
after battle. Indeed, the word is only used in Germany in
this sense, except as the name of the Goddess of Victory. The
object of the King in wording the toast as he did, was to pay
Wdelicate compliment to the Queen of England, and the ori-
ginal, of which the following is a translation (by a German,
let it he observed), is considered to have effected that ob-
ject. It is also a very excellent specimen of good racy Ger-
, man diction :

• Gentlemen, fill your glasses to ithe brim ! There is a
word which inspires with ucspeakable delight every British
and German heart. That word resounded once over a field
of battle, after a tierce struggle, as the symbol of a brother-
. .

hood in which had been blessed with sucet as. This
day that word rescunds, after 30 years of peace, that happy
fruit of the arduous work of those days, 1, are in the (;ermarc
lands, on the banks of the beautiful stream of the Rhine—
that word is Victoria r

"Gentlemen, take your glasses, and empty them to the
last drop 'lke object of the toast is, her Majesty, the
Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. Long live Queen Vic-
toria and her most illustrious Consort !'"

Among those who dined with the royal party while with
the King of Prussia, was the celebrated Baron Humboldt.
Baron Bulow was to have been present also, but was pre-
vented by very serious indisposition.
The route of her Majesty from the time she leaves the
Rhine will be through a country where, in consequence of
the peculiar dislike of the German people to anything like
rapidity of communication, there wt•ill be considerable MI •
culty in sending early intelligence. It is more than probable,
therefore, that some two or three days may elapse after the
present publication before any account can be received 14
London of her Majesty's further movements.
