fy the interest they felt. The parting with
the Queen. at the Palace staircase. was nat
uraliy affecting, and, as the cortege drove
away, the Princess was observed t he much
moved. The party started about noon. 1t
consisted of the Royal couple, Prince Albert,
the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, and the
suite If the bride and bridegroom. The re-
ceptiou of the Royal pair at Gravesend was
of the most enthusiastic character. No such
Jubilee had ever before been known there -
A civic address was presented, after which
the EN- bar kation took place. Antwerp was
reached w ednesday morning, and here the
party was met by King Leopold and family
Together they proceeded to Brussels. where
they arrived at night, and where brilliant
celebration awaited them. % Thursday the
iourney was resumed. the party passing
through Aix-la-Chapelle, and resting tor the
night at Cologne. Accounts OF concerts
balls and every species of merry making at
this place close the latest intelligence RESI- eet-
