The Liverpool Mercury of the 20th August coutains the following: — Berlin*, August.6.—When Queen Victoria arrived at the Wild Park station at Potsdam, her daughter, who had gone there (the place is five miles from Potsdam) to have the first meeting in private, found her sitting amongst a prodigious quantity of nosegays, for which the spacious state carriage hardly had room, and which the people all along the route had handed as tokens of their respect. The reception at Potsdam itself was not less enthmiastic than that at Dusseldorf, and this morning her Majesty had occasion to convince herself, from the unambiguous behavior of the crowd in the streets in Berlin, that, whatever party strife may be in store for Prussia, her daughter has nothing but friends there. Her Majesty sees Berlin for the first time, and as she entered it in an open carriage, and by one of the finest avenues, the weather being very beautiful, she could not but be struck by the architectural grandeur of this northern "Palmyra of the Desert." When her-Majesty, who sat by the side of the Prince of Prussia, while Prince Albert with the Princess of Prussia and the young couple followed in a second open carriage, had reached the Unter den Linden avenue, the people, though taken quite by surprise, began to line'tbe road of ..her progress. The cry raised here and there hy a single individual, "Die Koenigin yon England lebe hoch!" tlie masses took up with their "hurrah," aud waving of hats and handkerchiefs greeted her Majesty all along, until the party had reached the piflace •of. the Prince of Prussia, winch stands where the Unter- den Linden avenue opens into the cluster of beautiful squares that occupy the central part of th> city. This was at eleven o'clock, -aad from this moment: the crowd which had assembled before the '. palace, began rapidly to swell, .untir.t must have appeared from the windows of the palace like a sea of heads. It was soon ■evident/that there, was no escape from the enthusiasm of the public, and so the large glass door of the balcony was thrown open, and her Majesty appeared on the balcony, conducted by the Prince of Prussia, and acknowledged with a •bow and^a kindly smiling countenance the thundering huWah which immediately broke out. At noon, the royal party went to inspect the -•new palace for Prince Frederic William, which is close by, and then they went to the old state where the public lost-sight of them. The return to Potsdam will take place at seven 'O'clock.
