Her Majesty was escorted by a dotachment of the Silt King's lluwan. The royal cortege co ted of four carriages, the first of which contained her Majesty, Prince Albert, and two of the royal children. The other carriages contained the royal suite, in cluding the Countess of Desart, lady in waiting, Lord A . Paget, Lord C. Fitsroy, &c. For some time before the ar rival of the royal party, a considerahle crowd was gathering in the neighbourhood of the palace, but it was evident it was not generally known that her Majesty was to arrive at a fixed hour, otherwise there can be no doubt that a greater number of persons would have been collected on the occasion. On leaving the paLtee, the course taken by the royal car riages was as follows : Through St. James's-park as far as Marlborough-house, emerging into Pall MAI by the gates near the Royal Ger man chapel, St. James's, thence by Waterloo-place, Regent street, Coventry-street, Leicester-square, Craubourn•atrect, Long Acre, Ilanover-stret t, Endell-street,Bloomsbury-street, Charlotte-street, Bedford-square, Gower-street, Torrington place, Gordon-square, Gordon-street, Tavistock-square, Turistock-place, Compton-street, Itegent-square, and Sid mouth-street, into Gray's-inn-road, thence up Maiden-lame to the terminus. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1851. RAILWAY MEETINGS. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. After the report given of the halt'-yearly- meeting of this company in yesterday's Express was dispatched, Mr. lIERAPAT deprecated the East Anglian agree ment, which would entail a permanent liability on the com pany of 2.1,0001. a year, and moved the omksion of the para graph from the report referring to that subject. Ile believed the agreement in question was had in principle, bad in law, and bail as a coinmerrial bargain. If the direetars had the power to make such an arrangement with the East Anglian, they might in the same way, without an act of parliament, or without the consent of the shareholders, go and practi cally lease any line in the kingdom, or all the lines in the kingdom. Ile, however, denied that any such power existed under the company's act. The proprietor quoted Lord Cranworth'e opinion and the arguments in the cane at some length, but was interrupted by Another PROPItIEIOII, who ruse to order, contending that it WAS out of place at a meeting like the present to go into a long discussion on a legal question. The CHAIRMAN said that without going into the ques tion of order, which was a difficult one to determine on all occasions, he must say that it was a waste of time to eater into a legal discussion on such an occasion and in such a place. Mr. HERAPATII, after repeating his objection on the legal part of the ease, and denouncing the conduct of any board of directora who entered into leases with other lines without the consent of the. shareholders—(hear, hear) — proceeded to show that in a commercial point of view the East Anglian agreement was most objectionable. They were already sailaltal with three gunruntees—the East Lin colnshire, which entailed a loss of 21,000'. a year; the Royston and Hitchin, the loss on which was at the rate of 10,n00/. a year; and the navigation, which occasioned a loss of 10,804. a year; and to these they were now adding the E ist Anglian, which, by a calculation he had made (and which he proceeded to explain) would produce a loss of 2,1,6:18/. a year. This, too, was (or a line which was some twenty or twenty-five miles front the Great Northern line, and to get to which they must run over a punkin of the Eastern Counties line. The first result of this agreement was law. A Chancery suit had already commenced. The CIIMIIIIAN—Wo say BO in our report. (Hear, HERAPATII continued, amid some interruption, to contend that the shareholders ought at one, to negative that part of the report which admitted a liability in respect to tne East Anglian •agreement. The result of saddling themsels es with this large am•mnt of dead weight, would he to place them in the same position as the unfortunate Eastern Countiss Company, which, though earning a large profit on their traffic, could not pay any dividend. Me concluded by moving un amendment adverse to the East- Anglian agreement, Mr. DAiroLecouded the amendment. Mr. BATES contended that the East-Anglian agreement woo the best bargain that had crer been made by any railway company. The East-Anglian had cost 1,1041,00111., and they were bi have it en a guarantee of 13,000/. a year. The Uov. T. MAXWELL HUNT denounced gullteCl in general as ruinous, and the one in question at especially so. He called on the directors to prove how this East Anglian, whose shares were quoted the other day at U. rat. each, and which had Owed its capital because they could not obtain another shilling, would be renumeratire to the Great Northern. The Rev. Mr. HUGHES, though he agreed with the general principle of Mr. Herapath's observations, be lieves] that the amendment he had submitted would lease no practical effect, th, agreement having been entered into. The only mode of proceeding was to try the question before the Court of Chancery. (hear, hear.) The proper course now was to pass a resolution, cond,mning the conduct of the director, in entering into such an agreoment without first obtaining the consent of the shareholders, and calling upon the directors not to enter into any guarantee for the future, except with the consent of the proprietors given at a public meeting. 'Mr. BERNARD asked how many shares Mr. Hera pith held, because he, as u person holding some 19,0d01. of stock, felt that the meeting ought not to be led by the opi nions of a shareholder Wilo4C interest did not extend be yond four or:five shares. (" Hear" and "oh," and some con tusion, followed by a call of " Order and chair.") The CHAIRMAN, on rising upon tho question of order, said he wished to advert to one or two points which had been referred to. Ile did not consider it at all unreasonable that a proprietor should ask the name of any gentleman who might he addressing the meeting and the amount of stock he held, for it was evident that, unless they Lad that privilege, they might, practically speaking, be talking to each other in the dark. With regard to the insinuation that the proprietors had been taken surprise at the last meeting, and that they had been cajoled into the agreement with tho East Anglian Company, it could not but be rememberel that that agreement formed part of the report at the lost meeting—that it was then very fully dis cussed, and after such discussion was passed, he believed unanimously, and having been so passed six months ago, and arrangements having been made on the faith of it, he would appeal to them whether it was fair or reasonable now again to raise the question. The Rev. W. HUNT—Yon have not answered my question. The CHAIRMAN—If the rev. gentleman would wait he should have an answer. The Rev. W. HUNT—I will not wait, sir. (Loud laughter.) I have put a question, anal I have a right to have it answered. (Oh, oh.) The CHAIRMAN had thought it his duty to answer the objections in the order in which they had been made ; and therefore he had addressed himself, in the first instance, to the points raised by Mr. Herapath. With regard to the legality of the East Anglian agreement, Mr. Herapath was aware that that question—which had been raised by him self, and very fairly raised—had been under discussion for same time. It had been submitted to eminent counsel, and he would read to them the opinion of Messrs. Loftus, Wigram, T. Halt, and J. Bullar, on that subject. The agreement had been submitted to those gentlemen, and they said, " We have perused the agreement, and with regard to the question on which our opinion is asked, as to the legal ity of the covenant fir the payment of 15,0001. a year to the East Anglian Company, we are of opinion that as the money is to be paid out of the tolls arising from the traffic of the East Anglian lima, the arrangement comes within the 87th section of the Railway Clauses Act, and is binding on the Great Northern Company." (Hear, hear.) Mr. HERAPATII—But the case was not fairly stated. The money does not arise wholly out of the tolls of the East Anglian lines, as will be seen from the terms of the agreement. The CHAIRMAN said the document upon which the opinion had been given was the agreement itself. The opinion of these eminent counsel was, that the agreement was legal, and that being the case, he did not think the question was one they could discuss satisfactorily among themselves. This he could say, that he did not consider his opinion on the case worth anything. (Hear, hear.) So much for the legality of that agreement, and now as to the policy of it. /or that he was answerable. (Hear, hear.) He believed at the time it was entered into, and he believed still, it would be found to be one of the most beneficial ar rangements the Great Northern Company had ever made. And he believed so because under it they were called upon to pay but a very small sum of money in return for the use of a line which would enable them to draw traffic, to a considerable extent, from other lines on to their own. Both directly and indirectly, he believed they would be largely benefited by the arrangement with the East Anglian lines. Ile would assume that the terms to be paid to the East Anglian company were fair and liberal on both sides; it was evident that without some such assistance as was given by the Great Northern they would be blocked up both at the east and west. By the right they (the Great Northern) had ac quired to run over the Eastern Counties, they had the means of running over the Eastern Counties lin s from Peterborough to Wisbeach, and from Wisbeach over the East Anglian lines to Beecham, thereby letting out a large amount of traffic from Norfolk, which must come on the Great Northern line westward, but which without such an arrangement would go to other lines which were not in amity with them. It would assist them in bringing traffic upon their lines from the east which they would nut else have, and in taking traffic along their line from the west in return. He believed the traffic both ways would be very considerable , and therefore he contended that the arrangement was a politic one. (Ikar, bear.) With re gard to the remarks of the reverend gentleman (Mr. Hunt), and who, though a clergyman, having so extensively specu lated in railway. and been so severely wounded in his spe culations he could sympathise with. But when he (the chair man) told the rev. gentleman that no one of the directors held any shares in the East Anglian line, he would ask, what inte rest could they have other than the benefit of the Great Northern property? (Hear.) He had the pleasure of say ing that he was acting with gentlemen who were as honourable as the day was long, and he challenged any one to say that black wu the white of their eye. (Loud laughter, and cheers.) The question of this East Anglian agreement had undergone much discussion at the board, and after bestow ing. considerable care and anxiety upon it, the directors had arrived at the conclusion that the agreement was a politic one for the Great Northern proprietors. (Hear, hear.) He believed it to be politic, he knew it to be prudent, and fortified by the legal opinion he had read, he was justified in saying it was legal. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Herapath had referred to the result of guarantees on other lines, as a reason why they should be on their guard. Ile (the chair man) admitted that guarantees had been the ruin of most of the lines in the kingdom. The London and North- Western and the other Main trunk lines were paying enor mously for their guarantees. The guarantees were weigh ing down the profits of the trunk lines in almost all cues. Ile believed that while the North-Western was m i ni! only 5) per cent on the whole district, the original London and Birmingham line was earning not lieu than 20 per cent., and no doubt it was the case with guarantees gem rally, that they tended to reduce the profits of the trunk lines; but they could net always be avoided. (Hear, hear.) In the case of the Great Northern guarantees certainly the matter was not so bad as the hon. proprietor represented it. Take, for instance, the East Lincolnshire line ; six per cent. was guaranteed on that line, the guarantee extending only to the cost of the line, whirls was o 0 miles long, and had been constructed under 15,0001. a mile. He admitted that if the thing were to be done again, it would be a question whether it would be prudent to enter into such an arrangement, but they must recollect that though this line did not pay directly, it was still valu able as a means of bringing a large amount of traffic to the main line, on the one hand from Boston to London, and on the other from Boston to the north. After passing over the East Lincolnshire, the tram te p for 100 miles on the Great Northern lime into Yorkshißand on the other hand towards London and was this worth nothing ? (Hear, hear.) He wished to show them that they were hot so tautly off with regard to their canting guarantees' so they aupposed, and that though the East Lincolnshire might not be a profitable bargain, it brought traffic to the Great Northern line, and in estimating its value was entitled to credit on that account. (Hear, hear.) Then with respect to the Royston and Mullin --if that arrangement had to be made over again, hu should nut, perhaps, consent to give 6 per cent. for th it lino ; still he did not know, considering the circumstances under which the bargain was made, that the directora were to blame. Great complaints had been made that the Great Northern Company were aetin unfairly to the Eastern Counties Company in their endeavours to get into Cambridge. But when parliament granted the line (which the Great Northern ware not particato, though they subse quently bought it) originally (root Galant to Cambridge, but of which was cut oil in euininittee all west of the Great Northern at Ilitchin, and esit of the Eastern Counties at Shepreth—it evidently intended that the nuptial and Hitehin line should have the right to go into Cambridge— and if they did nut insist upon going there, how could the directors account to the shareholders fur the 14,000!. or 15,0001. a year they had contracted to pay on account of that line ? He contended that the dire c t o r s w e r e b oun d li n defending the property of their shareholders to insist upon going from Royston to CAM bridge, as parliament evidently intended. The Eastern Counties said they should not ; and, to 'meet this opposition of the Eastern Counties board, at the suggestiou of the manager, coaches had been put on to convey the traffic be tween the two lines. This the Eastern Counties complained of as being unfair. Now he believed the majority of their • opponents were free traders, but he believer( they meant free trade in all trades hut their own. (Cheers.) Mr. Glyn was a free trader, Mr. Ellis was a free trader. A PROPRIETOR—And so is Mr. Denham. (Cheers and laughter.) He has declared himself so. The CHAIRMAN denied most distinctly that he wiu a free trader. He knew what was meant when it was mid be hail declared himself a free trader; but what lie had said was, that parliament having thought tit to adopt the policy of free trade, he would stand by that policy, and he lent dune so. (Hear.) lie saw an Eastern Counties proprietor present, and he would tell hint that into Cambridge the Great Northern Company must get. They wished to do see iu the way most agreeable to the Eastern Counties Company, but go there they most undoubtedly would. (Hear) then, with regard to the navigation. He admitted that these were a hiss to the company; but what was the explanation? If they took a navigation which produced 20,0001. a-year and transferred its traffic to their railway they could not expect to have it both ways. And, beyond that, if they had not taken these navigations, they night have had to pay the same rate for the land on which to construct the line as they hail paid in other places; whereas the navigation proprietor+, in selliug their interest, agreed to find the land for the railway with certain exceptions, which land had cost them nO,llOOl. Though the dividend was small now, he knew of no line that was so likely to continue to grow as the Great Nor thern. To what it would ultimately arrive lie could not say, but it was evident it could not go bark: his opinion was, that it would grow to be one of the most important and profitable lines iu the kingdom. (Hear.) Alter some diseu , sion, Mr. (MOVE asked whether it was the fact that other parties had offered more for the Smith Yorkshire Railway than this compauy had done. TheCHAIR.MAN replied that it was; and this reminded him that Mr. Waddington, than whom no true better knew the value of the East Anglian line, hail offer:a higher terms to the East Anglian body than were to be given by them. After SI)1111• furtlh-r conversation, The antendrurnt Iva, then put. Only about half a dozen hands were held up, ma it was rejected by au int- MCIAC majority. Mr. HUGHES proposed an amendment, declaring that the directors ought nut to have catered into the agreement with the East Anglian Compaay, without sufficiently ample notice to the shareholders, and that in future such a pro ceeding should be avoided. Mr. Tittmmisu seconded the amendment; and in doing so expressed his conviction that there was pushing dictato rial is the conduct of the chairman. would deftr its compltt:ua until tit: Imen setticil. TheCIIAIItM.N said the amendment appeared to him tore,etnble a vote of censure. . ---- Ihe amendment WWI rejected by an overwhelming majority. Ilw report was then adopted with only two dissentients. A resolution authorising the payment of the dividend declared in the report \VAS adopted unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution authoris ing the raising of 740,000/., additional capital, on the terms stated ; .toting that the whole of the shares might be tidiest by the proprietors in due proportion. The resolution was earned with only one dissentient. A resolution with napeot to the raising of the necessary loans was also carried. The CHAIRMAN moved the following resolution : " That the salary• of the se,retary be 114M1. per annum, and be included in the arrangement fur contingent Mere:Die, adopted by the directors, with reference to the other officers." In reference to the latter part of the resolution, the lion. gentleman stated that the arrangement was that the salaries of the officers should remain as at present until the dividend rem:lied 3 per cent. The proposal with regard to the secre tary's salary had reference nut to the individual but to the office, and emanated front a committee of directors ap pointed to revise the salaries generally. lie was hound to say that he had not concurred in the recommendation; but he now felt it his duty to bow to the opinion of the majority. A rather warm discussion ensued in reference to the secretary's salary. Ultimately there WAS a division on the point, which gave 99 votes in favour of retaining it nt the present amount, namely, 690/., and lOU in favour of the proposed increase to gall. 'tite resolution having been adopted, a vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and the meeting separated. YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held this day (Tuesday), in the TM Grey Room, in the City of York, at noun. 11. S. Tnowesom, Esq., WWI in the chair, and the attendance of shareholders was not numerous. The report, of which an abstract has alr;:iriliiiii7ared in our paper, was taken as mad; and the registry M share holders was duly 'waled. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that at the last half-year's meeting he promised that their meetings should in future be held at art earlier date, and that the reports should be in the shareholder's hands some days earlier than heretofore. Their meeting this day was two days earlier, and their report had been issued six days earlier. Ile was, however, not satisfied that this was all that should be done—and he hoped hereafter to have their meetings still earlier. This half-year sonic diffi culty had arisen consequently on the consolidation of their goods' accounts—but that being now ac complished this inconvenience would nut ugaiu occur. The capital account showed that a large amount had been expended in the course of the past half year; but not one-seventh of that sum was incurred by the present directory. As to the outlay they had made, they invited the shareholders to deter mine whether this outlay had been required, and whether it bad been exercised with economy. The chairman next referred to the question of improved prospects. He was not inclined to take a desponding view of the consequences of the competition to which they had been subject. No doubt it bad taken some thousands as year from them, but thanks to the development of traffic in their own local districts, this loss had been less apparent. Their own resources had shown an elasticity which had made up the loss from competition, and now that the com pany had not much further threatened competition, he hoped to receive their traffic further developed, and ir receipts improved. In conclusion, he moved the adoption of the report. Mr. SEYMOUR seconded the motion. Mr. J. SWAISN having objected to the item 1,7001. for stationery, Mr. PEART could not agree with the chairman that the prospects of the company were improving, and he consi dered unless considerable reduction in the working expenses were made, the hope of any dividend would be very poor. He thought the fares of the company ought to be increased. A SHAREHOLDER inquired whether the Market Weighton and Whitby branches were realising what paid working expenses and maintenance of way. The CHAIRMAN answered in the affirmative, and said that even on the Selby and Wcighton branch there had been a large increase of tonnage. The apparent small receipts per mile arose from the dispreportionate length of these branches as compared with the trunk line. Alter some conversation, In answer to a question, the Chairman said that there was no intention of doing away with the renewal fund for per manent way, and they were now largely drawing upon it by works which were in operation in the shape of renewal of permanent way. The adoption of the report was then put, and carried unanimously ; as was also the resolution declaring a divi dend at the rate of 11. per cent. per annum, payable on the 2nd of September, less income tax. Mr. Cott= was re-appointed auditor for the ensuing six months. Mr. ROWN TREE moved the thanks of the shareholders to the chairman and directors, whose duties had been very onerous in their efforts to extricate the company from a very disastrous position. The chairman was entitled, with his colleagues, both to their confidtvice and thanks. The CHAIRMAN responded. His task was an arduous one, and he should be delighted if the company was in so prosperous a state that he could leave its affairs to other hula. remitution adopting thu report wai then put and carried.

They concluded by placing their resignation in the hands of the directors. A vote of thanks to the chairman haring been punted, the proceedings terminated. TAFF VALE ILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of proprietors wns held yesterday at thu White Lion Motel, Bristol ; Mr. WALTEIL Corns, chairman of the company, presiding. The ellAlltMAN having itruwii attention to the fact that the increase of revnue had been 25,000 f., Mr. E. KENW AY, the secretary, read the report, from which the following is an extract The balance of accounts allows your directors to deefire a dividend of It. 10, for the half-yew., un each original share of 1261., payable on the 6th day of September nest, mid a dividend m the same proportion on the quarter and lot. shares. They also apply the usual halt-yearly sum of VAL to the depreciation land." The report was adopted, and the retiring directors re elected. LIVERPOOL, MANCIIEsTER, AND NEWCASTLE ': rON-TYN J ("lux lialLwAv.— The half-yearly meet ing of this company, which is still in course of being wound up by the directors, was held at York, on Tuesday; Mr. O. Leeman in the chair. The common seal haying been fiscal to the registered list of shareholders, the statement of receipts and expiaiditure up to the 30th of June was taken as read. The statement showed there was a balance re maining of 3,713/. 4.. and a profit on purchase of Lanca shire and North Yuri:Mire scrip of 71. Bs. lid, ; also claims against the company amounting to 2,543/. Is. id. To meet the balance and liabilities, there were assets amounting to 6,216/. puss 19d., and petty cashier's balance of 161. Ws. 9d. The Chairman said from the statement of accounts it would be perc.ived there was an item of expenditure made during this half-year to the company's engineer, which had arisen uuder these circumstances. Bethre th, present directors came into office, a contract was entered into with Mr. flawkshaw fur the construction of this line. Under that contract he took steps and prepared plans, and, in fact, the heaviest portion of cap s:mature had been incurred by him. When this line was suspended, Mr. Ilawlithaw said he was e ntitl e ntitled to compensation in respect set' that contract. This hoard looked into the entire matter, awl they were of opinion that, taking into account the largo amount of molly paid to the engineer listnre the comp my obtained its act, he ought not to press t h e delimit. Mr. Ilawkshaw, however, placed the matter in the hands of his solicitors, who called upon the company to pay IMO/. as compensation for Mr. Ilawkshaw's loss un that contract. A negotiation took place. and it was arranged ultimately that 5410/. should be paid to hint iu discharge of all claims. That was the item in the accounts to which he (the chairman) referred, and he thought that under all the circumstances the board had adopted the best policy, rather than becomo involved in a law suit. There were other small items in respect of which he observed that from time to time small demands were made upon the company, which they arranged and compromised as well 114 they could. All matters were now considerably narrowed, anal he believed there was now only before the board a suit instituted by Mr. Preston. Of that matter there had been a hearing before the Vice- Chancellor Lord Cranworth, who had indicated an opinion upon the agreement so far as it was set out in the bill; but his lordship had desired, before giving judgment, that the question of law arising out of the agreement should bo referred to the Court of Queen's Bench, UllOll a special ease. That special ease had not yet been settled, and it would be some time before the argument could take place. 11'hen that argument had taken place, the board will bo better able to report as to the ultimatum. Ile concluded • by moving that the accounts be adopted, and circulated amongst the shareholders. The inot was carried ; and after a vote of thaults to the chairman and directors, the business closed. ----- MONKLAND RAI LWAY.-111te halt-yearly meeting of this company is called for the tith instant. The follow ing are the principal items in the directors' report: " Tho revenue account !Or the half-year now closed bill/WS an in crease of 2,1871. no. 2d. in the gross receipts, when com pared with the previous six mantle., and 2,1001. Ils. 7d. when compared with the corresponding pe'riud of last year. The net receipts, however, are only 2001. is. 9d. and 1,0891. 16s. 9d. more in the past than in these two preceding half-years respectively. Alter paying interest upon bank and debenture loans, the revenue accounts exhibit a free balance of 8,441/. 9s. 6.1. applicable to a dividend upon the consolidated stuck of the company, and upon the six and five per cent. guaranteed shares. To meet the interest upon the six per cent. shares, you will require to Net aside the sum of 1,6181. 14-11, and upon the live per cent. shares the sum of 8301. 6s.

Your directors, therefore, recommend a dividend to be declared at the rate of 3 1 per ceht. per ' annum, less income tax, and 2201.35. 11d., the balance of revenue, to be carried to the rest rye account." CLERICAL DEPARTURE FROM LONDON. It was about a quarter to two o'clock when the royal carriages drove into the station. l'rince Albert was the first to alight, and the Queen, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal immediately followed. They were received especially by Mr. Denison, the chairmau of the , company, the other directors, Mr. Cubitt, the engineer. and Mr. Mowatt, the secretary, but received a more general recep tion from a very large assemblage of spectators of both sexes, who had been collecting and augmenting from 12 o'clock, and who wire stationed on a portion of the platform which was railed off on either side of the place of de bareation. Probably there were not less than five hundred persons, as many as could be conveniently accommodated, to witness the royal departure. Without staying to enter the reception-room, which the loyal zeal of the directors of the company had prepared fur her use, the Queen at once entered the centre carriage of the attendant train—a struc ture whom proportions and decorations have been previously described. In the same carriage were Prince Albert, and the two eldest royal children. The carriage nest to that of the Queen was appropriated to the Premier, that immediately preceding It to a maid of honour and the lady is waiting. There were in all eight carriages, those in the rear being occupied by M. Denison, Mr. Mowatt, and a party of the directors. While prepara tions were being made for starting. Prince Albert engaged in conversation with Lord Jocelyn, who was in attendance. In about five minutes after the royal cortege arrived at the sta tion, the signal was given for dep ature, and the Queen commenced her journey to the North amid the acclamations of all present. Mr. Sturrick, superintendent of the loco motive department, officiated as driver of the engine. DONCASTER, TCLIDAT. It in now two hundred and six years, according to the chronicles, since this town was honoured with the presence of an English sovereign. The last King who came to Doncaster was the unfortunate Charles 1., and it is somewhat remarkable that it was in the same month as that fixed upon for the visit of her present Majesty. Charles en tered the town on the 18th of August, 164.1, having with him three thousand foot soldiers, and it was very shortly pre vious to his abandoning his design of marching into Scotland to join the Marquis of Montrose. Several members of the royal families have since then been at Doncaster; and in the year 1333 her present Majesty (then Princess Victoria) with her august mother, honoured Doncaster races with their presence, being at tho time on a visit at Wentworth house, and the guests of the Earl Fitewilliam. In the early part of the present month it was announced that her Majesty and the royal family and suite would, en routs to Balmoral, proceed by the great Northern Railway, and reseals ewe sight at Doncaster. The news was received by theinhabitante with the greatest delight, and an earnest desire was immediately manifested by all parties to receive her Majesty in such a manner as her character and virtues s well deserved. The arrangement soon became known that her Majesty, the Prince Albert, and the rest of the royal family, would leave Osborne on the 27th of August (this morning) for London : that they would leave the sta tion of the Great Northern Railway, at King's-eross, abed noon, and proceed at once for Doncaster, whom they were expected to arrive soon after five *Weak is the afternoon ; and that they would wises kr the night at the Angel Hotel, and proceed on their Jemmy the fallowing morning. Steps were promptly taken on the part of the corporation and the inha bitants, and it was agreed that addresses should be presented to her Majesty and the Prince; also that illuminations should take place on as extensive scale; and that all the tend marks of respect and attention should be paid to her Majesty and her illustrious Comet. On the part of the Great Northern Railway Company, the directors altered the day of their half-yearly meeting ; and immediate instructions were given to Mr. Williams, of Goswell-street, for a new royal state carriage of the most perfect style. For some days past the corporation and a committee of the inhabi tants of the town have met to carry into effect the various arrangements, including the preparation of addresses; public dinner to be given by the mayor to the directors of the railway, the military ulikers, magistrates, and gentle men of the town am! neighbourhood; t:•a and refreshments to the school children, eke.; and the erection of platforms and triumplvil arches along the route which the royal pro- cession would have to pass from the station to Mr. l'ye's, the Angel Hotel. The carrying out of these preliminaries has kept the inhabitants in a state of pleasurable excite ment, such as was probably on no former occasion expe rienced. The route from the railway station to St. Sepulehre•gate is, perhaps, the worst part of the town, as regards appear ance. On passing the gaol are some wretched-looking cot tages, which it was at once determined should be carefully concealed from the eyes of her Majesty. Within the station a large platform is erected by the Great Northern Company for the reception of ladies, who will he thus atforikd an up portunity of seeing her Majesty alight, and witnessing the presentation of the addresses to the Queen and Prince Albert Immediately at each side of tho entrance to the station, a large platform, raised seat upon seat, in the form of a gallery, is erected at the expense of the corporation. These are calculated to contain about 4,000 people, also will be admitted by the purchase of tickets, subject to cer tain conditions, the procreds to be devoted to an enter tainment fur the poor, and other charitable purport On peoceding past these and coming to the street called West Southgate, a grand triumphal arch has been erected, formed of evergreens and flowers, and having at the top an inscription, " Welcome Victoria," surmounted with the letters V. A. On the opposite side are the words, .‘ God save the Queen." Immediately in front of this is the National School, before which an extensive platform is raised fur the accommorlation of the children belonging to that establishment, On pursuing the route along West S suthgate two other platforms have been erected by private individuals. On reaching the gaol a number of trees have been planted in front of the cottages opposite, so as to con ceal them effectually, and to give to that side of the street a suburban appearance. here is also erected a splendid arch, representing the old gateway which was for merly placed at this part of the town. On the summit of this arch, which is tastefully covered with Bowers and evergreens, will he placed an immense crown, manufietured for the occasion, mid gilt. It is nearly the feet high and four wide, with orb and cross, and a velvet cap, placed upon a cushion of crimson velvet. Here the street widens, and in the entrance to St. Sepulchre gate, at the News Hoorn corner, where the Street turns into French-gate, is another arch, arranged, if possible, more tastefully than either of the others. The height is about the same as the houses on each side of the street. Turning to the left is Cie Angel Hotel, where her 31:t jest; is to take up her abode for the night. At the top is the royal standard, ready to be hoisted immediately on the arrival of the Queen. A guard of honour, consisting of several officers and a hundred men, from Leeds barracks, are stationed here, and will remain in the town until her Majesty's departure. HEIL 'MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE MANU- FACT CRINO DISTRICTS. There is now but little doubt that the 10th of Oc tober, the day on which the Queen is expected to visit Man chester, will witness afrte such as his not been se n in the manufacturing districts before. The Mayors of Manchester and Salford, assisted by committees of the authorities, are proposing arrangements every way worthy of the occasion ; and, besides using their influence to induce employs rs to make it a general holiday, will celebrate the event with a grand illumination of the two boroughs. The Queen is to be reecised at the reel Park by the Mayor and other authorities of Salford, and the Sunday school., which Manchester and Salford base long been so conspicuous in supporting, as a means of educating the working el:uses, will no doubt play a conspicuous part in the assemblage congregated on the occasion. They are to be drawn up in the pave so as to see her Majesty pass, and it is expected that nearly 30,000 children will thus be brought together. The programme of the intended proceedings is nut yet com plete, of course; and if it was, probably would nut be made public. But facts occasionally ooze out, and from these au angst others we learn that a triumphal arch is to be erected on Victoria•brillw, by which her Majesty will enter the city, and that the proprietors of the Exchange have at once consented to grant the use of that immense building, affording the largest room in the kingdom, as a place of public reception fur her Majesty. The county magistrates and other officials arc prepared to co-operate cordially with the authorities of the two boroughs in snaking arrange ments, and everything appears to be progressing well, con sidering the time that is yet left to complete the pre parations. AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITION NEAIt CHESTER. CUPATER, Oral' 26. Nothwithstanding the violent gale of Sunday last, which did considerable damage to many of the sub jects intend •d for exhibition to-day, and the unpropi tious state of the weather throughout this forenoon, the at tendance of visitors and exhibitors in the beautiful grounds of Tenni Hall, about five miles from hence, was highly resiveetable, and comparatively numerous. the announcement for many weeks past of this exposi tion of the products of the field, the garden, the poultry yard, anal the cottage, together with agricultural and hor ticultural implements, and whatever is useful or orna mental in the cultivation of the land, had created quite a seusatiou, out only iu Cheshire and Lanesettire, hut also ill more remote parts of the kingdom; and the various rail ways from the principality, ns well 1111 the English lines, brought their several quuta of visitors to Chester through out the day. This being the first of the three days' sates, the judges and jurors fur the several cleaves were appointed. 'lite ex hibition was especially patronised by the Earls of Derby, Sefton, and Grosvenor ; Viscount llill, Sir I'. De Malpas, Grey Egerton, Bart., M.P. ; Sir Richard Brookes, Dart., of Norton Abbey ; Sir Edward Walker , John Tollemache, Esq., M.P. ; G. Cornwall Legh, Esq., ; J. Brockle burst, Esq., M.P. ; John Duueuft, E-q., M.P. ; John llurlestun Leche, Esq., of Carden l'ark, Cheshire ; ar.d a great number of either noblemen and gentlemen of the ad jacent counties. For the successful exhibitors in the several divisions a variety of prizes, consisting of gold, silver, and bronze nuxials, with certificates of merit, were liberally placed at the disposal of the judges in the various sections ; but owing to the ungenial state of the weather and an unlooked for delay in the delivery of some of the exhibitors' cases from the railway, it was deemed advisable to postpone the adjudication until to-morrow. 'the tents and marquees presented a truly brilliant spectacle —and the spacious hall was laid out as a bazaar, at which presided sonic of the chief beauties of the most distinguished families in the vicinity. The grand military band of Mr. Ilurleston Leckie, that of the Cheshire Militia, and the Liverpool classical band, conducted by Mr. F. Surge, re lieved each other in the dining-hall, while others were dis persed throughout the grouuds and marquees, and contri buted very materially tu enhance the enjoyments which had been liberally provided for the visitors by Dr. Brindley and the committee. Among the notabilities exhibited our attention was chiefly attracted to the following :—A rare and valuable col lection of evergreen plants,exhibited by Messrs. Standish sad Noble,of Bagsl iot,many of the varieties never before exhibited. Specimens of the Royal Victoria lily, exhibited by Mr. Marwick, from the garden of the Royal Botanical Society ; a splendid collection of Cochin China and Poland poultry, by Mr. Simons, of Birmingham ; the celebrated bridge of Mr. Harrison, and the vases and fountains of Messrs. Young and Co. ; a very elegant collection of petunias, carnations, hollyhocks, and antirrhinums, by Mr. Wilmer, nurse ryman, of Sunbury ; and other floricultural subjects, by Messrs. Dickson, of Chester, Mr. Paha, and Mr. Chivas, were each in its kind exceedingly beautiful, and elicited unqualified commendation. 'l here were of course very many other productions of perhaps equal excellence ; but in the absence of the judges' I award, and owing to the shortness of time permitted us for ' inspection, we are unable to give more than a piwing notice of the most attractive in the various classes. The prize essays will be submitted to the award of arbi trators appointed fur that purpose on Thursday next, and we are informed that much valuable information on the subject of agriculture and horticulture will be found in the venous works received by the committee, some of them from the pens of practical men in the various branches of those sciences. THE DUKE'S EXPLANATION OF THE CASE OF ANN 111(711:11.—The following u the letter addressed by the Duke of Wellington to the Secretary of the West and North Lon. don Anti-Enclosure Societies:—" London, Aug. 26, 1861. " F.M. the Duke of Wellington presents his compli ments to Mr. Griffiths. He has received his letter of the 20th instant. Although the duke again declines to enter into any discussion with the secretary of a self-appointed and self authorised es-ociation upon the details of his duty as Ranger of the Park is relation to his superiors in office, the Board of Woods and Forests, he observes that Mr. Griffiths has not quoted correctly what, it appears from the reports, the President of the Board of Woods and Forests stated in respect of his communication with the Hannar of the Park upon the removal of Mrs. Hicks. The duke does not exactly understand what connection is supposed to exist between his house in Piccadilly and Mrs. Hicks's cottage. The duke purchased from the crown his property in Piccadilly; Mrs. Hicks is neither more nor less then • squatter on the retention bank of the Serpentine river. The duke has frequently considered it his duty to inquire, and he could never find that Mrs. Hicks had any authority whatever to establish herself there. He believes that it will not be very easy to convince the public that the Duke of Wellington hes been guilty of an offence because be recommended the opinion of the law officers of the crown should be taken before any measures should be adopted to remove Mrs. Hicks from the park.—To Mr. Henry Dowell Oriffiths." The meeting then separated in apparent good humour. AMBEROATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND BOSTON RAILWAY. NOTTINGHAM, Au°. 26.
