ARRIVAL OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA

ussian Majesty, who had be'en expected to reach the
Thames on Friday, did not reach it till Saturday. On that
afternoon he landed at Greenwich from the Firebrand steamer.
From an early hour in the morning, the streets of Green-
wich presented a most animated appearance, parties conti-
nually pouring in by steamers, by railroad, by coach, cart,
gig, and every description of vehicle, all eager to catch a
glimpse of his Prussian Majesty on his first setting foot on
British ground. One gentleman 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 pro-
cured only by ticket from the governor. The space at the
end of each wing was occupied exclusively by those connected

with the hospital, and the whole of the quadrangle was re-
served 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 be-
tween 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

Albert, at the west gate of the hospital, was announced by
loud cheering, and immediately his royal highness, in a tra-
velling carriage and s'x, accompanied by out-riders and other
attendants, drove up to the governor's residence, and was
received by Sir Robert Stopford at the door. Immediately
on his royal highness 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, accompanied by the Duke of Wellington and his
suite, left the Governor's house, proceeding down the steps
to meet his Prussian majesty. His Royal Highness was
dressed in plain clothes. In the large square of the quadran-
gle every arrangement had been carried into effect with the
most perfect regularity. In the centre was placed the bat-
talion of Marines, while on the path adjoining the river was
collected a body of naval and military officers of high rank,
habited in their various uniforms. The windows of the dif-
ferent rooms in the hospital were occupied by beautiful and
elegantly attired ladies. The old pensioners, in their best
dresses, were ranged along the paths of the quadrangle ; while
the steps on the southern side were occupied by the boys of
the Greenwich Hospital schools. The effect of the scene at
this moment was splendid in the extreme. His Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, it is reported, expressed his admiration
at this inspiriting spectacle. Anxious to be ready to receive
his royal guest on landing, he seemed desirous of leaving the
governor's house even before it was necessary to do so ; and
to Sir R. Stopford, who expressed a fear that he might take
cold, he observed, " I do not care for the weather; I shall
not catch cold ' • it is a beautiful sight." The governor's barge,
accompanied by the Admiralty barge, then boarded the Fire-
brand, and his Majesty landed under a 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
Majesty, the bands of the different regiments playing " God
save the Queen !"

The King was received by Prince Albert with much cordi-
ality, and the latter introduced to his Majesty Sir R. Stop-
ford, the hero of the siege of Acre. The meeting of the Duke
of Wellington and his Prussian Majesty was very gratifying.
They shook hands with much warmth, and the King appear-
ed highly delighted to see his grace there to welcome him.
His Majesty and suite then entered the Governor's resi-
dence, where they remained a short time ; and at three
o'clock his Majesty and the Prince left in his Royal High-
ness's carriage for Windsor. The royal suite followed in
other travelling carriages.

Prince Albert entered the carriage first, and seemed almost
overcome with emotions of pleasure at the hearty and cordial
welcome the Kingof Prussia received ; and his majesty could
not avoid smiling, when seated in the carriage, to witness the
anxiety of the ladies to obtain a glimpse of him ; for which
purpose they had patiently, for many hours, endured exposure
to the cold and unfavourable weather.

His Prussian Majesty is a remarkably fine-looking man,
nearly six feet high, apparently about forty-seven years of
age, and he appeared in excellent health and spirits.
Misled by erroneous rumour, Prince Albert went to Green-
wich on Friday to meet the King of Prussia ; but the King
could not keep the appointment ; he had not arrived ; and so
the Prince returned to Windsor alone ; so much sooner than
was looked for, that the Royal carriages were not in readi-
ness at Slough, and he walked the greater part of the way to
the Castle before a post-chaise, ordered from Salthill, came
up.

ARRIVAL OF THE REIGNING DUKE OF SAXE
COBURG AND GOTHA, AND DUKE FERDI-
NAND OF SAXE COBURG.

On Sunday morning two of the royal carriages arrived at
Woolwich, and were stationed in the royal dock-yard, as the
arrival of other royal persons was anticipated. At about a
quarter before four o'clock in the afternoon her majesty's
steam-vessel Shearwater, Captain Washington, arrived, hav-
ing been delayed to convey the reigning Duke of Sake Co-
burg and Gotha, Prince Albert's father, and Duke Ferdinand
of Saxe Coburg, his royal highness's brother. The royal
party proceeded immediately after their arrival to Windsor
Castle. The visit of Duke Ferdinand was anticipated, but
not the visit of his royal father, which will add to the pleasure
of her majesty and illustrious consort on the approaching im-
portant ceremony of the christening of the Prince of Wales.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,-THIS !)AT

(From Messrs. 1?. MAKIN SONS' Circular.)

The rec

its from Ireland since this day week comprise a

moderate quantity of Wheat and Fiour, with a fair supply

of Oats, and a further large influx of Oatmeal ; hut of any

thing coastwise we have still very little to notice. From the

Continent of Europe, we have to report a good supply of
Wheat, with several parcels of Barley, Beans and Pease—

and from the United-States, 17,7,14 barrels of Flour

In consequence of to-day being observed as a holiday at the
Custom-house, and the general business of the town being
partially suspended, the transactions in Wheat were only to
a moderate extent this morning ; and with rather less firm-
ness than at the close of the week ; secondary and inferior

descriptions were the turn lower : prime qualities, notwith-
standing, were scarcely affected in value, and for such we
therefore repeat the current rates of this day se'nnight.—ln
foreign Wheat, either in bond or afloat, no recent sales have
been reported.

English and Irish Flour continued to move off slowly at
late prices; and Foreign duty paid was rather depressed in
value, a few parcels of Canadian having been sold at 345.
States Flour under lock was also offered at a decline of ls.

per barrel. • •
In Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease, very little business was
apparent, and former prices scarcely maintained.

Oats, with a better supply of good samples, but no im-
proved demand, obtained the rates of Tuesday last. Oat-
meal, although by no means in lively request, was rather
more saleable to consumers, on the terms of last week.
