LONDON, July There is a good old
story of sailor on board one of Her
Majesty's frigates, which was lying at
anchor near one OF the South Sea Isl
ands, and which had been boarded by
a number of the petty kings and chiefs
of the sayages. One of these poten-
tates, wandering about the ship, mis-
took a wind -sail, pulled out with wind,
for mast, and leaned with his back
against it, the consequence being that
he fell through the hatchway and dis
appeared. A sailor saw the catastro-
! phe, and, walking up to the officer of
the deck, he touched his hat and said
. axes your pardon, sir, but one of
them kings has tumbled down the main
hatch" Sovereigns were not 50 plenty
on board that ship however, as they
are III London to-day; and wherever
you go you see or hear of g one of them
kings. To-day, for instance, there are
are III London. through one cause or
another, the following crowd of empe-
rors, expresses, queens, princes and po-
tentates Her Majesty Queen Victoria,
His Majesty the Emperor of the
French and the Empress, His Majesty
the Emperor of Brazil and the En-
press, the Imperial Prince and Princess
OF Germany, the Prince and Princess of
/ Wales, Prince Albert, Duke of EdIn-
! burgh, Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold,
the Princess Louise.
And the whole long list of "the rest
of the Royal Family" The arrival of
the Imperial Prince and Princess of
Germany, which happened yesterday,
Is the latest sensation of the season
/ The churlishness Of the Queen, in re
tuslng to offer to her daughter and her
son-in-Iaw the use of one of her palaces,
and III compelling them to choose be-
tween going to a hotel (as the Emperor
OF Brazil has done) or accepting the
hospitality of the German Ambassador
his house in Carlton Terrace, has
revoked much comment. and the fact
that her Majesty has come to town to-
day to go to garden party, and has
not either gone to see her daughter or
received visit from her, provokes still
more speculation. ''What is the mat
ter ~ it is asked Does the Queen
still resent the interference of certain
parties in Berlin III the matter of the
marriage between the Princess Louise
and the Marquis of Lorne, or has some
new cause OF disagreement arisen be-
tween mother and daughter, or between
mOther-in-law aud son-in-law2n Every
one asks these questions, but no one
answers them 50 ! can throw no light
on the subject.
The Prince and Princess arrived at
Gravesend yesterday at o'clock, III
the royal yacht Victoria and Albert,
which brought them from Ostend.
They We're met byCount BernstOrf and
his attaches, Lord Sidney, Lord Fitz-
roy, and Colonel Du Plat, and they
| landed amid the noise of a salute from
a Russian corvette which was living in
the harbor, and from the guns Of the
batteries on shore and the cheers of a
crowd of spectators. The royal party
came ashore in pinnace, and lump
ing ashore the Prince extended his
hand to the Princess, who quickly fol
lowed, and their imperial highness
then stepped out bris1ly, preceded by
Lords Sydney and FitmOy, the Prin-
cess leaning on her cOnsort's arm, while
Frederick Wilhelm, spriShtly lad OF
II years, linking his arm III that of his
mother, walked jauntily along Then
came a i4utsc with tire baby Alice and
Heinrich, the second son, two car three
maId-servants bringing up the rear OF
this little procession.
+. At the embassy, where the royal vlsl-
l,tors arrived at 7 o'clock, very pretty
/ little fete had been arranged IN honor
OF their arrival. The hall was filed
with flowers and plants, and on the
table lay bOquet for the Princess and
laurel wreath for the Prince.
In the house were the Prince and
Princess of Wales, but they shortly
took their leave, aud their imperial
hiehnesses then went TO dinner After
dinner $50 singers from the various
German musical societies III London,
under the leadership of SlrJullus Bene-
diet. assembled on the terrace in front
of the house aud sang Der Gesang,
Gan das Naterlandt, - and 'Das Deutsch
Lled
To-day the imperial guests are beng
enletlaln6t OF banquet at UuS EN-
bassv, and tonight they will visit the
opera nj Convent Garden. The Prince
has grown old since / last saw him-he
is II years old now-bJt he looks every
inch q soldier and king The Prin-
cess, who is ten years Younger, seems
to grow more ana more like her royal
mother. She is herself now the mother
of six children, and has had to bear the
sorrow of the death Of her fourth child,
who died five years ago. Some of the
papers say that the Prince has come
over TO spy out the weakness of the
land aud to visit the field of the g Bat
tie of Dorkiug, but probably he IS on
more peaceful thoughts intent.
The Emperor and Empress of Brazil
continue to astonish London by per-
sIsting in their practice of having
breakfast ut five o'clock In the morn
ing, Just as society is preparing to go
to bed, and doing all their sightseeing
III the early morning hours. 1t is very
shrewd III them, for thus they escape
being mobbed by the weli-dressed
crowds who would run them down if
they went about town III the afternoon.
They have already ''done' the principal
sights in the West End and they have
been to the Tower st. Paul's, West
minister Abbey, the Parliament Houses,
Highgate Cemetery Ito see Colerldge' S
