DUTCH MAIL.

THE HAGUE, JAN. 19.—The anniversary of the birth-
day of our beloved Queen was celebrated to-day in this
town in the usual manner. At noon there was a brilliant
parade of the troops, which was favoured by the finest
weather.

We hear that the English Ambassador at this Court
intends to give a splendid entertainment on the occasion
of the baptism of the Prince of Wales.
We learn, from accounts from Java, that on the 10th
of July last year a convention, recognising the Nether-
lands authority, was concluded in Macassar with the
newly-appointed Prince of Tunelle in Celebas, and signed
by him and the inferior Princes of Tunelle in the presence
of the Governor of Macassar, the military commandant,
the officers of the garrison, the civil authorities, and the
principal inhabitants. This may be considered as a fa-
vourable sign of the establishment of peace in the island
of Celebas.

HANOVER, JAN. 17.—The evening before yesterday
his Majesty the King went to Othfreden to meet the
King of Prussia as he passed through that place. The
King of Prussia arrived on the following morning at ten
o'clock. The two Sovereigns breakfasted together. After
stopping a couple of hours, the King of Prussia continued
his journey, and our King returned to this city yesterday
evening.

market this morning was very thinly supplied, particu-
larly with sheep. The demand, however, was very good,
and sales were brisk. Fat beef sold readily at from lOs
to lOs 6d. Cows and calves were not so readily sold in
consequence of the high prices asked, as high as eighteen
guineas being demanded in some cases. There were no
steers or oxen shown. There were very few barreners
shown, and 7s to 8s per score was asked, and nearly all
were sold. Best Wether Sheep fetched full Sid. per lb.;

COACH ACCIDENT.—(From a Correspondent.)
—An accident occurred to the Norwich Magnet, be-
tween twelve and one o'clock on Wednesday morning,
which, but for great caution on the part of Bonnet, the
coachman, might have led to serious results. The fog
being thick he had been driving very gently, and per-
ceiving a malt-waggon approach when near Bourn-
bridge, he pulled off as near the proper side of the road
as possible; the waggoner, however, is supposed to have
been asleep (a very common thing with these gentry), and
his horses proceeded unchecked—the wheel of the wag-
gon caught the hind wheels of the coach, forced it back
several yards, and overturned it. Bonnet and the guard
were very severely bruised, and one of the coach horses
s much injured that it has since been killed ; the pas-
sengers escaped with slight bruises. Not the slightest
blame is attached to the coachman, who is one of the
steadiest and most experienced drivers on the line. It
is the intention of the proprietors to prosecute the
waggoner.
On Wednesday morning a fine female infant,
about eight weeks old, was found in a pledging box
in the shop of Mr. Sharp, pawnbroker, Broadway,
Deptford. In the bosom of the child was a letter stating
that the mother was a native of Gravesend, only 16
years of age, and that the father was a pawnbroker of
Deptford. It likewise intimated that the mother would
return for the child if the father refused to support it.

LANDING
OF THE
KING OF . PRUSSIA.

GREENWICH, SATURDAY 3 P.M.
His Majesty the King of Prussia has just
landed from the Firebrand steamer. His Majesty

was received on his landing by Prince Albert,
and after remaining a few minutes at the Gover-
nor's residence, the Royal cortege set off for
Windsor, attended by a detachment of the Life

Guards. His Prussian Majesty is a remarkably '
fine-looking man, nearly six feet high, appa-
rently about forty-six years of age, and he
appeared in excellent health and spirits, and
seemed much gratified by the cordial reception
he met with, the Royal party being loudly
cheered throughout their progress. Notwith-
standing the unfavourable state of the weather,
the streets of Greenwich, the quadrangle of the

Hospital, and the piers were all crowded, prin-
cipally by well-dressed females.
From an early hour this morning the streets
of Greenwich presented a most animated appear-
ance, parties continually pouring in by steamers,
by railroad, by coach, cart, gig, and every de-
scription of vehicle, all eager to catch a glimpse of
his Prussian Majesty, on his first setting foot
on British ground. One gentleman who was
near us, stated that he had come all the way up
from Yorkshire, having travelled nearly 200
miles on purpose to witness the landing of his

Majesty.
Admission to the quadrangle of the Hospital
could be procured only by ticket from the
Governor. Those holding tickets were ad-
mitted by the eastern gate ; and the pave-
ment in front of the east wing was appro-
priated to their use. The space at the end of
that east wing was occupied exclusively by those
connected with the Hospital, and the whole
of the quadrangle was reserved for the
suite of the King of Prussia and Prince
Albert, and the members of her Majesty's
Government. The boys of the Royal Naval
School were drawn up on the steps between
the Chapel and the Painted Hall. The
Pensioners were drawn up around the inside
of the quadrangle, and the Guard of Honour,
consisting of the Royal Marines, was drawn up
within the quadrangle, facing the river. At twenty
minutes after one o'clock the arrival of Prince Al-
bert at the west gate of the Hospital was an-
nounced by loud cheering, and immediately his
Royal Highness, in a travelling carriage
and six, accompanied by out-riders and
other attendants, drove up to the Governor's resi-
dence, and was received by Sir Robert Stopford,
at the door. Immediately on his Royal High-
ness entering the Hospital, the Union Jack,
which had been previously flying over the
eastern wing was struck, and the Royal
Standard of England hoisted. At half'
after two o'clock the approach of the
Firebrand was announced by trumpet, and
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accom-
panied by the Duke of Wellington and
his Suite, left the Governor's House, proceeding
down the steps to meet his Prussian Majesty. The
Governor's barge, accompanied by the Admiralty
barge,then boarded the Firebrand,and his Majesty
landed under a royal salute of twenty-one guns.
Immediately on his appearance at the head of
the stairs, the Guard of Honour presented arms,
and the officers lowered the colours. All
the usual honours were paid to his Ma-
jesty, the bands of ?he different Regi-
ments playing " God save the Queen."
His Majesty and suite then entered the Go-
vernor's residence, where they remained
a short time ; and at three o'clock, his
Majesty and the Prince left in his Royal
Highness's carriage for Windsor. The Royal
suite followed in other travelling car-
riages. Throughout the day . his Royal
Highness Prince Albert was received
with loud cheers, whenever he made
his appearance. The arrangements which were
under the superintendence of Lieutenant Rivers,
were admirable, and reflect the highest cre-
dit on that officer ; and we have to
express our thanks to the officers of the Hos-
pital generally for their kindness and affability,
in affording us every accommodation in their
power.

The Royal party proceeded en route to Wind-
sor Castle by the Kent-road, Camberwell,Wands-
worth, Hampton Court, and Staines.
His Majesty the King of Prussia embarked at
Ostend on board the Firebrand steam-ship at
seven o'clock on Friday evening, which pro-
ceeded on her passage accompanied by the Light-
ning steam-vessel. They dropped anchor in Mar-
gate Roads shortly before twelve o'clock the
same night i at which place they remained until
after five o'clock yesterday morning, when they
weighed anchor and continued their voyage.
The following is a list of the names of the dis-
tinguished individuals who attended at the house
of the Governor, Admiral Sir Robert Stopford,
to greet his Prussian Majesty on his arrival :
His Royal Highness Prince Albert, his Grace
the Duke of Wellington, her Royal Highness
the Princess Sophia of Gloucester, the Earl of
Haddington, the Earl of Hardwicke, the Right
Hon. Lord Blomfield, Lord George Seymour,
Lord Hill, Sir James Hamilton, Sir George
Murray, Sir John Ross, Sir George Whitmore,
Sir Henry Hardinge, Sir Geo. Cockburn, the
Prussian Embassy, Colonel Owen, Colonel Dun-
das, Colonel Conolly, Officers of the 15th Hus-
sars, &e. &c.
At the conclusion of the ceremony Admiral Sir
Robert Stopford sent for Mr. Superintendent
Mallalieu, of the R division of metropolitan po-
lice, and complimented him on the very excel-
lent manner in which the police arrangements
had been made and carried out during the day.

PROGRESS OF H. R. 11. PRINCE ALBERT AND
THE KING OF PRUSSIA TO WINDSOR.
On the Royal cavalcade arriving at the New
Cross-roads, Deptford, it proceeded along the
new road to Camberwell, and down Acre-lane to
Clapham, and thence onward to Wandsworth,
where the first relay of horses was stationed.
From an early hour of the forenoon the line of
road from the entrance of Camberwell to the
town of Windsor was one continued scene of ani-
mation. On the major portion of the line large
numbers of persons had on Friday collected, in
anticipation of the arrival of the Royal visitor,
but their numbers were far exceeded yesterday.
Near the Western portion of the metropolis
Wandsworth was the point of attraction, it being
understood the Royal cortege would change
horses at the Spread Eagle Inn, in that village.
From eleven o'clock the carriages of the neigh-
bouring gentry commenced entering Wandsworth
and taking up favourable positions on either side
of the high road, as near as possible to the
Spread Eagle Inn, at which a party of her Ma-
jesty's servants arrived with the horses about
twelve o'clock. Soon afterwards Superintendent
Bicknell, with a large party of the V division of
police took up a position in front of the inn,
while detachments of the same division were
placed at intervals along the road from Clapham
nearly to Staines. Before two o'clock each side
of the high road, notwithstanding the unpleasant
character of the weather, was crowded by per-
sons of all ages, sexes, and classes, anxious to ob-
tain a sight of the illustrious visitor, and of her
Majesty's Royal Consort. The windows of all
the houses affording a view, however partial, of
the road, were thronged by elegantly dressed
ladies. In front of the Eagle Inn, extending to
the Atlas Printing office opposite, floated a splen-
did union jack. -Beyond Wandsworth, at Wim-
bledon, and on to the town of Kingston, groups of
persons were collected at every available point, the
route having been altered from the previous day,
to the disappointment of the inhabitants of East
Sheen, Richmond, Twickenham, &c., who had
anticipated the Royal and Illustrious personages
passing through their locality. Kingston itself
was, during the day, crowded by respectable
persons from the adjacent villages. On the
Middlesex side of Kingston-bridge large num-
bers of persons were also early collected, and
the road to Hampton Court was lined on both
sides. Near the Queen's Arms Tavern, opposite
the gates of Bushy Park, where the second re-
lay of horses was stationed, were, from an early
hour, arranged in rows the carriages of most of
the neighbouring gentry for miles around, whilst
the road from thence to Staines had, from the
number of persons and vehicles passing and re-
passing, the appearance of a holiday. The town
of Staines was also much crowded, more particu-
larly near and around the Clarence and Bush
Inn, where the third relay of horses was sta-
tioned, and from thence on to Runnymede.
At Wandsworth, and along the whole line of
route, after two o'clock, ropeated were the re-

-.•
ports of the approach of the Royal cavalcade
but noi.with€tanding the pelting rain which cl.B'
scended ii•oin three o'clock, all classes maintaps-,
ed their positions, many of the females standing
ancle deep in slush. About 25 minutes to four
o'clock a private of the 11th, or Prince Albert's
Hussars (an escort from which regiment had,
joined near the Windmill, at Clapham)gallopPea
into Wandsworth, and announced the approach
of the illustrious party, and at 18 minutes to four
o'clock the outriders in scarlet liveries were seen
descending the hill into the village, followed
.11
the Royal carriages. On the first carriage.whicu
contained only his Majesty the King of Prussia
and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, reaching
the front of the Eagle Inn, before the entrance
of which Superintendent Bicknell and Mr. !Tar-.
vey, the proprietor, were standing, the signal
was given for three of the most enthusiastla
cheers we ever remember having heard, which
were re-echoed until lost in the distance. 1111.
Royal Highness acknowledged the compliment
by repeatedly bowing, bareheaded, as did also
the King of Prussia, who appeared highls' de-
lighted at the eagerness displayed by some el
the fair sex, although completely saturated by
the drenching rain, to obtain a sight of him.
The change of horses occupied about four
minutes, when the Royal carriage sped on its
course at a most rapid rate ; the other four car-
riages, containing his Prussian Majesty's suite,
not following for full six minutes afterwards. At
thirty-eight minutes past four o'clock the Royal
party reached Hampton Court, where a similar
enthusiastic reception awaited them; and so
anxious were the assembled persons to obtain a
sight of the King of Prussia, that the police, un"
der Inspector Dowsett. V division, had the
greatest difficulty in preventing them from ob-
structing the change of horses.
About twenty minutes past five o'clock the ad-
vance of the escort entered Staines, followed 111
a minute or two by the carriages, &c., when the
enthusiasm displayed by the assembled hundreds
fully equalled that exhibited along the whole of ,
the route. A strong body of police of the T di-
vision, under Inspector Otway and sergeant
Burton, were in attendance, and prevented anY.,'
delay in the exchange of horses, and the RoYa'
party, without any further detentions, proceeded
on to Runnymede, where the escort of the 11th
Lancers was superseded by a guard of honour
from the Royal Horse Guards (blue), and thence
to Windsor.
Along the whole line of road from Greenwich
to Windsor, the churches of the different pa;
rishes rang merry peals during the afternoon, and
in many places in the route were flags and ban'
ners displayed.
