The most pleasing and effectual specific for this desirable object is ROWL ANDS' IC AL TDOR' so deservedly established in Royal and Public favour and estimation. Its application neutralizes the effects of atmosphere, and Induces that healthy action of the microscopic vessels of the skin, by which its delicacy and beauty are so essentially promoted. Freckles, Tan, Spots, Pimples, and Discolorations fly before the application of the ICALyDOI2, and give place to a healthy smoothness and transpa rency of complexion. Ladies travelling or taking out-door exercise will find it to diffuse a grateful and refreshing feeling. In cases of Sunburn, or Stings of Insects, its virtues have long been acknow ledged.

MAJOR AND lIIS WAGER _its_ A smart young fellow of the name of Major Ileselv'd one day That he would lay A singularly interesting wager, The bet which Mr. Major hid was this (And certainly 'tie not so much amiss) ; Six Overcoats were to be made Sly different artistes in the trade. The number of the Coats was not much heeded, For, as it happen'd, they Were, just then, needed. The garments being made, Were on a table to be laid ; And after that an umpire was to fix On one among the six, And if the one selected from the rest, As being best, Turn'd out to be the Coat of M. and SON, The curious wager Of Mr. Major Was to be view'd as honourably won. The umpire chosen was a Mr. Grainger, A man whose taste Is rightly placed, And, I would add, to this a perfect stranger. The time arrived, and Mr. Matthew Major Was all agog to hear about his wager. The friends all met, the umpire came, Straight to the coat-clad table, And in a way most able, Presided at the same. The new-made Coats were thoroughly inspected, And one, as choicest, was at length selected. All in the room save Mr. Major, Who laid the wager Looked right stratht down their noses; For, as you'll guess, The choicest dress Was that obtained of MOSES. LIST OF PRICES. UADT HIDE.

At one o'clock yesterday afternoon, one of the largest deputations that ever assembled in London, for the purpose of presenting memorials to her Ma jesty's Government, met together at the residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in Downing-street, when there were at least 500 or 600 of the most in- fluential hop-growers, chairmen of boards of guar dians, clergymen, bankers, land agents, and land owners, from the districts of Kent, Sussex, Hereford, and Worcester, present, to enforce the prayer of their petition, that her Majesty's Government would post pone the hop duty of 1848, payable in the ensuing October, until some date in next year, on the ground that so much distress existed amongst them, that it was absolutely out of their power to pay the duty until they should have received payment of the hops grown during the present year. Mr. HoDoEs, M.P., opened the proceedings by stating to Sir Charles Wood that he felt it his duty, on the part of the deputation of gentlemen from Sussex, Hereford, Worcester, and Kent, to open the case on their behalf, which was not a new one. He was one of those who had, unfortunately, since 1819, made repeated applications for relief from the charge of the duty on hop. Feeling that this question interestf_d almost the existence of hundreds of .housands of persons, he knew that he was incompe ;ent to do justice to the subject, and he should not have undertEken it if there were not gentlemen present who would give him their assistance in what might be defective — in his statements—and which statements they hoped would make such an impression upon his mind as that he would feel it his duty to allow the postponement of the duty due in the year 1848. If the whole of the crop of 1849 were to be sold, after the charges of the growth had been paid, enough would not remain iu the hands of the growers to pay the duty of the past year : money was so short in those districts where hops were , grown, that the magistrates were reluctantly compelled to issue summonses to a very large extent for the payment of the poor-rates. He knew one magistrate alone who had signed 40. If, there• fore, money could not be found to pay the poor-rates, it was perfecily impossible that it could be found to meet the demands of the hop duty for 1848; and if, there- 'ore, he satisfactorEy proved to the Chaneollor of the Exchequer that so much distress existed in the hop glowing districts, he ventured to hope that what they were now asking in the way of relief would not be withheld. They were anxious that the payment of the duty should be posponed—not by way of sus taining a cultivation that ought to be diminished, but. simply because it was absolutely and physically im possible fur them to find money ; and he was quite certain that if legal means were resorted to for the purpose of enforcing the payment of this duty, it wi:uld entail complete ruin upon many hundreds of industrious men ; and certainly no men in England were to be found who would advocate the payment of any tax when such fearful consequences were sure to ensue, and there were many magistrates i❑ that room who would confirm his statement, that were this tax attempted to be gathered, the result would be per fectly fearful to contemplate. On behalf, therefore, of those poor people whom they were there to repre sent, he did entreat the Chancellor of the Exchequer to reflect upon the-ir case, end he hoped he would con sider it consistent with his duty as a high public offi cer not to reject the application then made to him for ;heir relief; for he knew well that if the duty were enforced it would be followed by consequences the most dis=astrous. Such a deputation as that by which he was then surrounded had never assembled within those walls. It consisted of gentlemen of every shade of political opinion ; but the gentlemen who stood there to-day had no other object in view than simply the one object before them. They had not met to further the principler of free trade or the principles of protection—they only met to advocate the postpone ment of the h. , p duty. That question they wished to be kept distinct from all others—they wished it to be decided upon its own merits alone. They had refused to connect Fit and mix it up with any other agi tating question. They now distinctly appealed for some relief, which they hoped to be furnished to them ; and they also sincerely hoped that some better method of collection might be adopted for the future. He was not aware that he had at all over-stated the case, but if he had, it was some satisfaction for him to know that many gentlemen present would correct his state ments if he tad erred on any poiut. They had the honour of presenting memorials from no less than one hundred and thirteen parishes—the princi pal occupiers of whom were persons interested in the cultivation of hops; and the object of all the petitions was that he would have the kindness to postpone the duty of 1848 for, at any rate, another year; and if Sir Charles would grant them their prayer, they were quite willing to pay the duty upon the growth of 1849 at the period when it properly became due. He had the honour of travelling that morning in the train with the Attorney-General, when he said, "I have paid my hop duty.' Indeed! he had no doubt of that, and so there were many pre sent there to-day who had also done so, but he would venture to say without fear of contradiction that where one person had paid, at least 20 could not ; and on behalf of those 20 he hoped from Sir Charles a favour able consideration of the case that had been laid before him ; and that he would consent to the postponement of the duty to some distant period. Mr. Hodges' statement was then confirmed by several magistrates, clergymen, bankers, and some of the principal land agents and land owners, all of whom represented the distress of the poor in the hop growing districts to be most severe; and that if the duty should be attempted to be enforced by legal means, they were one and all quite certain that the distress would be far more deplorable than in .the years 1822 23, when incendiarism prevailed to so fearful an extent. Whatever might be said of other kinds of agricultural produce, it was certainly true, though it must appear paradoxical, that when the crops of hops were largest and most abundant, the distress amongst the growers of those hops was the greatest, so that the blessings of Providence were actually turned into a curse. After the various speakers had occupied the atten tion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, by dwelling upon the same topics for nearly two hours, the whole of the memorials were presented to him, after which, Sir CHARLES WOOD said, that nothing could be more painful to him than to listen to the statements that had been made—the accuracy of which it was impossible for him to doubt or deny; but they had placed him in considerable difficulty, and in a position of such difficulty that he must decline giving an answer on his own personal authority. He should feel it his duty to-morrow to have an interview with Lord John Russell upon the subject, and after commu nicating with him he would give the deputation his answer, which he would do as soon as possible , for he well knew how desirable it was that an early and final decision should be come to upon the subject. Without, however, disputing the accuracy of the statements that had been made, he confessed he did not quite understand the present extraordinary state of the hop-growing districts. Some allowance might, perhaps, be made for various circumstances that might be peculiar at the present time. Re had requested to be made out fur him a paper containing the amount of relief paid to the poor during the years 1822, 1830, and 1848 ; and by looking at this paper he saw that there was a diminution in the poor-rates paid during 1848, as compared with the years 1822 and 1830, of about 50 per cent. The amount yielded in these dis tricts, which contained 462 pariahea, was 433,0001. in the year 1822, 398,000/ in the year 1830, and 219,0001. in 1848, being a diminution of 49i per cent. He was quite aware that some portion of this diminution had arisen from their having got rid of the payment of wages out of rates, and he hoped that they were better off after having got rid of the vice; but 50 per cent. was a large reduction, even allowing for the most that could be said upon that subject. On looking over the returns he found that distress existed nearly in the same proportion in those districts where hops were not grown as in those districts where they were cultivated. They asked him for relief, amounting to 400,0001,, to be extended to certain districts of the country. That amount of money was due to the Government. That they did not deny, and as they must have money somewhere, if that relief were granted to the hop growing districts, it must press more severely where hops were not grown. Now, with regard to any alteration in the hop duty, either with regard to its taxation or the mode of its collec tion, as had been suggested by the deputation, that was a question that must be deliberated upon in the next session of Parliament, and could not be deter mined by any officer of the Government. With respect to the question, however, that had been brought more immediately before him that day, he would give them an answer as soon as it was possible for him to procure the determination of his colleagues, after they had considered the subject ; hut he wished them to understand, in the plainest terms, that he coal(' not forego the eventual payment of the duty ; and 1:13 regarded the further postponement of the duty payable in October, he was sure the Government would require a very strong case indeed to induce them to postpone its collection. The deputation then withdrew. _ - The aristocracy are prone to ridicule the elevation of [nen of tho middle classes to high official situatiuns, not reflecting that it is easier to transmute men of talents into gentlemen than it is to convert mere gentlemen into men of talents.—Eliza Cook's Journal. _ . . , 4 OppIP ..0. 9 ~ r , . .. .• . . ...• ..„ 7 . ... _ _ . • .14,. 4.

Brown, the Conservative agent, objected to the vote of Samuel Mollett Paynter, whose name appeared in the list of voters in this parish as occupying a countinghouse situated in Austin-friars-passage, on the ground that there was no such person as Samuel Mollett Paynter in existence. The name ought, therefore, to be expunged. Mr. Smith, the Liberal agent, who supported the vote, explained that the voter's name was " John Mollett," and not " Samuel Mollett Punter." The latter name had been published in the list, an,l was entirely a misdescription on the part ef the overseers in making out the list. In one of the rates the error was corrected, and the right name, John Mollett, entered on the rate-book. He had, therefore, to contend that the mistake of the overseers could not vitiate the voter's right, and that the misdescription in the list was one which the revising barrister was empowered to correct by the procitions of the 75th section of the Registration Act. The Learned Gen tleman then cited the case of " Cook v. Luckett," de cided in the Court of Common Pleas, in support of his argument. _ _ The BARRISTER said that John Mollett was objected to on the ground that he was not rated in respect of the premises specified in the rate-book. In the first rate made for the parish, in the column for the name of the occupier stands the name of " Samuel Mollett Paynter." Then in the owners' column stands " Samuel Paynter." In the next rate the name stands " Samuel Mollett Paynter," also in the occu piers' column; and in the owners' column "Samuel Painter" also appears; but a line is drawn through " Samuel" and "Paynter" in the occupiers' column, "John" is placed over the Samuel" as an interline ation, and "Mollett" is left standing. The question then that arises i., whether that is a sufficient rating for the premises inserted opposite the names. The Court of Common Pleas has repeatedly decided that the Act of Parliament is clearly in favour of going & great way to prevent any misnomer or inaccurate or insufficient description from vitiating the right to vote. Besides, if you look carefully at the rating throughout the whole of these rate-hooks, I think you will not find on the average more than ten - persons in t , any parish strictly and accurately rated. I roust bay that _ I never yet saw books kept in so careless and imperfect a manner as is the casts with the rate-books in this city ; and I cannot understand how so slovenly a system has been allowed to continue so long. But, returning to the case before us, if I could have seen that it was ever intended by the overseers to hare rated "John Mollett " to this rate, I should have certainly held that he was rated. On the first rate I find Samuel Mollett Paynter and Samuel Paynter; and if there had been twoPaynters here I should have been obliged to hold that they were both rated. But I cannot consider that this is a misnomer or inaccurate or in sufficient description which the Act justifies the cor rection of. In the case of " Cooke v. Luekett," it was shown that the party was intended to be rated, by his right name being inserted in the rate book ; hut I cannot understand here that the man John .Mollett was ever intended to be rated. The objection to the vote is therefore sustained.—Vote disallowed. . - No other case worthy of notic3 - occurred in this ward ; and its rcvision was completed with the fol lowing result : Liberal claims allowed Ditto objections sustained Conservative claims disallowed Ditto objections sustained _ _ Ditto ditto failed or withdrawn 30 Double objections sustained The lists for the ward of Castle Baynard were next revised. The business was merely formal, and the following is the result : Liberal claims allowed Ditto ditto disallowed Ditto objections sustained .. 36 Ditto ditte tailed or withdrawn... 5 Conservative objections sustained .... 69 Ditto di' to tailed or withdrawn.... 19 Double objections sustained Ditto ditto tailed Expunged by the barrister Mr. Richard Heald, one of the overseers of the parish of St. Mary Magdalen, was fined 31. by the barrister for neglecting to publish the list of Conser vative objections served upon him in his official capa city, according to the statute.

Mr. Edward Marshall, who has served upwards of fifty-one years in the War-office, nineteen whereof as chief examiner of army accounts, has received upon his recant retirement a most gratifying proof of the regard and respect in which he is generally held, in the shape of an elegant epergne candelabrum presented to him by the gentlemen of his office.

It will certainly create more conflicting opinions than any of her recent productions, as it re-opens the questiun of American interests, man ners, &c. In this new work the scenes in the Old World are few compared with those on the banks of the Ohio, in the vicinity of the celebrated city of Cincinnati, and the author has certainly shown no wish to conciliate this portion of the inhabitants of America, or to obtain their forgiveness fur the severity of her former animadversions. The work will, however, be as much welcomed for its sprightliness of diction as for the light it throws on the character of the American people. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT IN THE WESTMINSTER-ROAD. —Last evening (Friday), shortly before seven o'clock, an accident of a most fearful character, by which three persons (if not more) were seriously, and it is believed fatally, injured, happened in the Westminster-road, Lambeth. It appears, from inquiries instituted on the spot, that at the time above stated a thoroughbred horse was drawing a chaise over Westminster-bridge, in which were Mr. Charles Newman, formerly of the Old King John, Holy well-lane, Shorcditcb, and Mr. Johnson, the cigar merchant, of the Blackfriars-road. Upon gaining the brow of the hill on the bridge, the horse, from some cause, not at present clearly ascertained, started off at a furious rate, and galloped down the road at the rate of twenty miles an hour. When opposite Astley's Theatre, two persons, a man and his wife, were knocked down, but fortunately the only injuries received were a few slight bruises. The animal still continuing, in spite of every exertion to pull it up, to dash along the road, threw Mr. Johnson out, who, pitch ing upon his back, dislocated his shoulder, and received other serious injuries. Mr. Newman kept his seat until near the Marsh-gate, when ho either attempted to jump or was thrown out of the vehicle. Unfortunately, either his coat was caught by the wheel or his feet became entangled in the straps attached to the dashing board, for the poor fellow was seen to be carried round^ the wheel several times, his head all the while dashing against the ground with fear ful violence until the blood gushed forth in copious streams. At length the unfortunate man became re leavd, and falling on the road the wheel of the vehicle passed over his head. He was immediately pick d up and carried to the surgery of Mr. Beck, in the West minster-road; the horse, unrestrained, continued to dash along, knocking down every person who chanced to be in the way. Amongst the number was Dawson Lucas, an old police•officer of the L division. Upon gaining the obelisk, at the end of the Blackfrisrs-road, the horse fortunately fell, or the loss of life must have been fearful had ho proceeded as far as the Elephant and Castle. Under the direction of Mr. Rutt, the superintendent of police, Mr. Newman was removed from Mr. Beck's stir. gery to Westminster Hospital, but there is little hopes of his recovery. At present it would be impossible to tell whether any other persons were injured. EFFECTUAL CURE FOR A THlEF.—Governor Win. thropp, in private life, was frugal and temperate, hospit able, and exceedingly generous to the poor. One hard winter complaint was made to him that a person fre quently stole wood from his pile. "Does he?" said Winthropp; "send him to me, and I will take a with him that will cure him of stealing." The geared, trembling under tie terrors of the law. "IrieD," raid the Governor, "it is a cold winter, and I doubt you are but poorly provided with wood. You are welenme to supply yourself at my pile until the winter is over." POST-OFFICE NOTICE.—As there is reason to be lieve, that many persons in this country adopt the prac tice -'of addressing to the care of parties at Panama, letters intended for Chili, Peru, and other parts of the western coast of South merica, the Postmaster-General thinks it right to point out that such a course is un necessary, and that it may in some cases occasion delay to the correspondence so addressed. Letters for Chili, Peru, &c , are liable to postage at the rate of 2s. the half-ounce, and so on, and provided this postage be paid in advance, the letters will be forwarded by the British mail patkots in the Pacific, without any detention et Panama. Ilarvest operations have been further retarded in the north of England by the occasional showers of tho past wet k which has great 7 y interfered with the labours of tho reapers; and a large quantity of corn already cut, bat not yet fit for the stack, remains to be carried. In Ireland, on the contrary, the weather has been fine throughout the week, and great progress has been made in securing i ii the portion of the harvest outstanding in late distriets.—Liverpool Standard. HER MAJEST Y'S DEPARTURE FROM SCOTL 4ND. (From a Sccond Edition of the, Edinburgh Courant of Thursday.) Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the members of the Royal Family, left their Highland residence at B•alrtoral at an early hour this morning; where they have been in the enjoyment, for a period of about six weeks, of the privacy and seclusion so much in harmony with the exelted feelings and virtues which adorn the character of our beloved Sovereign. The retirement of the Court amidst the solitude and grandeur of our Highland scenery has been preserved with the utmost sanctity, and the con fidence reposed by the Queen in the loyalty and affec tion of her subjects has met with a response highly creditable to the national character. The precise day of her Majesty's departure for Osborne House, Isle of Wight, WAS at first fixed.for Wednesday (yester.lay), but the prevalence of cholera both in Perth and Stir ling—where it was at one time in contemplation that the royal party should remain during the night—led to an entire alteration in the arrangements, and it was ultimately deterthined that her Majesty should proceed at once from Balmoral to Howicle Hall, ,the seat of Earl Grey, a distance of about 230 miles. The Royal party left Balmoral about eight o'clock this morning, and proceeded by the Spittal of Glen shee, the Bridge of Cally, and Blairgowrie, to the station of the Scottish Midland Junction Railway at Cupar- Angus, where a special train was in readiness for their use. The journey was accomplished by posting, and her Majesty reached Cupar-Angus at fifteen minutes past three o'clock. About ten minutes were spent in affixing the carriages and lug gage trucks (seven in number), and the Royal party • then proceeded on their way, passing through Perth and Stirling, and reaching the G' enbill station (the point of junction between the Scottish Central and Edinburgh and Glasgow lines) about fifteen minutes past five o'clock. The engine (which was finely decorated) was driven from the Greenhill junction by Mr. Paton, superintendent of the locomotive department of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, and under the superintendence of Mr. Adie, the company's engi neer. Mr. Peter Blackburn and a party of the directors eccornpanied the royal party, in a separate carriage, to the Edinburgh station. Mr. Sheriff Gordon (Edinburghshire), and Mr. Sheriff Craufurd (Perthshire), were also in the same train. ARRIVAL OF HER INIAJF:STY IN' EDINBURGH. The expression of her Majesty's desire, through some of the members of the royal household, to avoid the formality of a public demonstration on the occasion of her passage through Edinburgh by railway, on her return to the Isle of Wight from her residence in the Highlands, prevented any extensive preparations for the royal reception. The en thusiasm which the royal visit to tho ancient metropolis of Scotland in 1842 excited in the public mind—equal, at least, to the warmth of her Majesty's reception in the Irish capital—must yet be fresh in her recollection ; and anxious as the inhabi tants of oar " romantic town" might be to embrace the present occasion to renew their manifestations of loyalty and attachment to her person and throne, respect for her Majesty's wishes has formed the pervading sentiment in every breast, and prevented the adoption of measures which, in other circum stances, would have been a befitting reception to the Queen of these realms. The authorities, in their desire to respect the wishes of her Majesty, accordingly dispensed with all formal preparations, which were chiefly confined to measures for the public safety and convenience ; and, beyond their presence to render their homage and duty to their Sovereign, no other demonstration was made. The arrangements at the station were of the most complete description, and reflect the utmost credit on the directors. A spacious gallery, 150 feet in length, by 9 feet in depth, capable of containing 600 people, was erected along the north boundary wall of the elegant station, and was filled by a fashionable and brilliant assemblage of ladies and gentlemen. The platform in front was laid with crimson cloth, 40 feet in length, and 12 feet in breadth ; and upon the roofs of the various offices was a fine display of greenhouse plants. A detachment of the 21st Royal North British Fusiliers formed the guard of honour, and were ranged along the platform. The excellent band of the regiment was also present, and performed a variety of music. _ _ . The 21st !Fusiliers left the Castle about two o'clock, with the Local Corps of Pensioners (who had been called up for the occasion), and marched to the rail way terminus by the Lawninarket, Bank street, and Earthen Mound. A detachment of the Fusiliers was stationed in East Prince's-street Gar dens, in front of the palisades erected there, and the pensioners lined both sides of the railway in West Prince's-street Gardens. A. company of artillery arrived at the Castle from Leith Fort at two o'clock to fire the royal salute. The Queen's Bays were stationed at both ends of the North Bridge to prevent a pressure of people upon the parapet walls ; and a similar precaution was adopted at Waverley Bridge. Some of the Fusiliers were also placed at Amphion-place (overhanging the Gas Works), for the same purpose, and at other points on the line of the North British ailway. The East Prince's-street Gardens were thronged from an early hour by dense crowds, to witness the royal train as it swept into the station. The ele vated terrace at the base of the Scott Monument, unique in grandeur and taste, afforded a command ing position of the ground below, now being laid out in harmony with the natural beauty of that romantic valley, separating the old from the new town. The body of the gardens was also thronged by an immense mass of spectators. The prospect was of a striking and picturesque cha racter, the immense mass swaying to and fro in the excitement of the scene, and rending the air with their acclamations ; while beyond was the dark and irregular background of the Old Town, grim with the smoke of centuries, and teeming with the associa tions of a rich historic past. The West Prince's-street Gardens were thronged by a numerous assemblage of ladies and gentlemen. From the windows of various houses in Prince's street and other streets, flags were displayed in honour of the ocealon ; and the various locomotive engihes belonging to the North British Railway were finely decorated with evergreens and flowers. - The Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council, began to assemble in the Council Chambers about three o'clock, P.M. At half-past three o'clock, having put on their robes and insignia of office, they proceeded to the railway station in nine carriages—the Lord Provost's carriage, which was modest but handsome, having two footmen with halberts behind. On arriv ing at the railway station they immediately proceeded to occupy their places in the centre of the gallery, in front of which the High Constables were ranged. Among those present on the platform were the Earl of Morton, Hon. Bouverie Pimrose, Professor Wilson, Major-General Sir James Riddell, com manding the Forces, and Staff, M. Mocroix, com manding the Prevoyant, French frigate, &c. John Learmouth, Esq., of Dean, Chairman of the North British Company, was also present, with a large body of the Directors. The large assemblage awaited the arrival of her Majesty without any display of impatience, and at length, about twenty minutes pa st five o'clock, intel ligence was received by telegraph that the royal train had passed Linlithgow. This information diffused the liveliest satisfaction, as all apprehensions on the subjectt of her Majesty's arrival were thus put at an end. The telegraph at the Haymarket station of the Edinburgh And Glasgow Railway communicated the approach of her Majesty about seven minutes to six o'clock ; and tho thundering of the guns from the Castle in a minute afterwards confirmed the gratifying intelligence. At the Castle, two sentries had been stationed on the roof the magazine, overlooking the mouth of the railway tunnel between the Haymarket and West Prince's-street Gardens. The moment the cloud of steam was issuing from the jaws of the tunnel, the watchmen waved their flags—the long train glided under the Castle rock. " Then all the loud artillery spoke In ligistning flash and thunder stroke"— and amid the roar of the guns might be heard the loud and long-renewed cheers of the multitude in the valley far below. Emerging from the long tunnel stretching from the Haymarket station of the railway to St. Cuth bert's Church, the train swept into the station in the centre of the city, by perhaps the noblest avenue among the numerous fine approaches to the metro polis. The line of railway here skirts the base of the lofty precipitous rock on which the Castle is reared, whose vast ragged outline and overhanging battlements firm a scene of great magnificence, worthy of the city whose romantic features divide the attention of the stranger with its historical inte rest. The gardens themselves are in high cultivation, and laid out with the finest taste, and we understand excited the admiration of the royal party. Priceisely at five minutes to six o'clock the royal train entered the station at Waverley Bridge, amidst the enthusiastic cheering of the spectators, and was stopped exactly in front of the Lord Provost and Magistrates. Colonel Anson, gquerry to his Itoyal Highness Prince Albert, immediately after wards alighted from a carriage in the royal train, and intro duced the. Lord Provost to her Majesty and her illustrious Consort, when the Queen said to his Lord ship —" I am very glad to see you in the city of Edinburgh ;" to which the Lord Provost replied, that, in the name of the inhabitants, he had to offer her Majesty their most hearty welcome to her city of Edinburgh. Ile was sorry that her Majesty's stay would be so short; but again, in the name of the citizens of Edinburgh, be heartily wished her Majesty a most prosperous journey. His Royal highness Pi ince Albert also said—" CVs are sorry that our stay is so short in your beautiful city." The Earl of Morton had next the honour of pre sentation to her Majesty and the Prince, and was fol lowed by General Riddell. Her Majesty having asked to see Sir James Forrest, the Hon. Baronet stepped forward, and was presented to the Queen. Mr. Learmouth had also the same honour, and pre sented a basket of fruit to her Majesty, which she was most graciously pleased to accept. The royal carriage was lighted up, and, besides her Majesty and Prince Albert, it contained the Princess Royal, the Prince of Wales, and Prince Alfred, all of whom were uncovered. The Queen wore a shawl of the Royal Stuart pattern, and seemed to be much gratified with her reception. The change of engines having been effected, which occasioned a delay of only a few minutes, the direc tors of the North British Railway entered the saloon carriage in front of the train, which immediately proceeded on its journey, amidst the most enthu siastic applause. Many of the spectators followed it for some distance along the line, and cheered it repeatedly, which was graciously acknowledged both by the Queen and Prince Albert. The engine, which WaS preceded by a pilot engine, was driven by Mr. Thornton, superintendent of the locomotive depart ment of the North British Railway, under the superintendence of Mr. Miller, the engineer of the company. The engine was one of the most powerful con struction in the service of the company, and was decorated in a most tasteful and elegant style. There was in front of it a semicircular arch of wood, dis playing in gilded letters the inscription—" God save the Queen," which was surmoun'ed by a large and splendid crown, resting on a superb cushion of crim son velvet. An eliptical arch stretched along the engine longitudinally, and bora the inscription " Long live the Royal Family," having on the reverse side, the motto of " Success to the British Empire." The utmost order was maintained till towards the conclusion, when the crowd in the station, in their anxiety to obtain a glimpse of her Majesty, pressed forward, and produced a momentary confusion. Along the line of railing crowds assembled to witness the royal train ; and at the company's works at St. Mar garet's there was a very handsome floral arch across the railway, and other decorations in profusion. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) DUNBAR, SEVEN O'CLOCK.—her Majesty has just passed the station here. GLOUCESTER, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. Telegraphic communications were received here this afternoon by Mr. Sanders, the managing director of the railway, stating that her Majesty and suite, after leaving Derby at eight o'clock, would arrive at this station at eleven, accomplishing the distance, 95 miles, in three hours, including stoppages. The town council held a special meeting this afternoon, when addresses of congratulation of the customary character, to be presented re3pectively to her Ma jesty and Prince Albert, were read over and agreed to. The circumstance of the royal return having been deferred a day later than was originally designed and announced, occasioned no small degree of misun derstanding and disappointment amongst the multi tude of intending spectators, and during the day large numbers of people lined the railway at different points and stations, in full expectation that the royal cortege would pass over the Birmingham and Derby and Gloucester Railways,!and thence on to the Great Western, and although the railway authorities sent messengers abroad and about to disabuse their minds, they still lingered about at intervals along the line. The disappointment was perhaps more peculiarly felt in Gloucester, from the fact of many thousands of farmers and others having arrived from all parts on the occa sion of the great annual fair, which was held this day. To-morrow will be a generate holiday, all business save that of the fair will be suspended, and her Ma jesty's arrival will be welcomed with salutes and peals of bells. Her Majesty's guard of honour at the station, consisting of a detachment of the Rifle Brigade, commanded by Lord Alexander Russell, brother of Lord John Russell, arrived from Bristol yesterday. Captain Somerset will be in attendance with a force of the pensioners to preserve order, assisted by the city and county police. The clergy, mayor, and corporation will occupy a raised platform covered with red cloth, erected to-day, and which will face the royal train on its arrival. As no direct answer has been received by the members of the corporation as to whether her Majesty intends to wait for the presentation of the address, it has been for warded in the name of the corporation for the purpose of being received at Derby. The station here, which is celebrated for its being the debateable ground of the gauge contest, and the cal de sac character of its ac commodation is being embellished with flag=, ever greens, and a royal standard, borrowed from Bristol, there being no such thing in Gloucester. SWINDON, SEPT. 28. In accordance with communications made to the railway authorities here, her Majesty, after leaving Gloucester, will pause at Swindon, to take refresh ment. The distance, forty miles, is to be accom plished over the Cheltenham and Swindon branch of the Great Western in less than an hour. Her Ma jesty will be attended here by Mr. Charles Russell, the 'chairman ; Viscount Barrington, Mr. Seymour Clarke, and other directors, who leave the Paddington station with the royal saloon for Gloucester at six o'clock on Saturday morning. The entire refreshment and retirement rooms have been fitted up and embel lishei for the occasion by Mr. Phillips, the proprietor, in very elegant style. As the royal train draws up to the station, a very striking view is obtained of the n ew railway town of Swindon, with its schools, church, and extensive engi ne works, employing a po pulation of some 3,000 persons, from whom and the numerous engine-drivers and mechanics, who will be ranged out along the line, her Majesty will receive a hearty welcome. Such is the increase of the popula tion here, that it is proposed to build another new church, to contain nearly 1,000 persons, on a site to be given by Mr. Goddard, M.P., at a cost of 7,0001. The entire station is tastefully decorated with flags and evergreens. Owing to the general depression, the workmen in the engineering department for the making of locomotives, &c., now only work four days in the week. The run, on her Majesty's resum ing her seat in the royal train from Swindon to Reading (42 miles) and Basingstoke, will occupy another hour, and this will be the only stage on the royal route, including the distance from Gloucester, where there is no electric telegraph to give the usual notification of progress. BASINGSTOKE, SEPT. 28. The arrangements made by the Great Western and South-Western Railways, whose lines form a junction here, and compose what is called a " break of gauge," are such that the royal suite will only be detained five minutes in effecting a transfer from one train to another, to be placed in readiness here by the South- Western Company on her Majesty's expected arrival at two o'clock, where she will be attended by Mr. Chaplin, M.P., the chairman, and other directors, with Mr. Stovin, the general manager, who will have charge of the train. To facilitate this transfer, the barrier between the two lines has been broken down. The distance to Gosport, 42 miles, will be run in an hour, the train stopping at Bishopstoke, where her Majesty's five travelling carriages taken to the north will be detached, and sent on with the royal house hold to Southampton, there to be shipped per steamer to the Isle of Wight. The royal train will be rum direct into the Clarence Victualling-yard, where her Majesty will immediately, amid salutes, embark on board the Fairy, now lying in readiness, and alight on a landing pier built expressly for the royal accom modation, opposite Osborne, shortly before five o'clock. ARRIVAL. OF THE QUEEN . IN DERBY. (From the Second Edition of the Derby Reporter.) To-day has been a burly-burly, bustling day in Derby. What with its being the cheese fair, market day, and also the day of the Queen's arrival, the town has been one continued scene of excitement. At half-past ten o'clock the 12th Foot assembled in front of the Royal Hotel on parade, the fine band of the regiment playing favourite pieces. During the morn ing vehicles of every description came rolling into the town, and as the afternoon advanced the vicinity of the railway station presented an appearance of un usual activity. In order to prevent undue pressure upon the royal cartegc in passing from the station to the hotel a large space in front of the station was fenced. Within the station, as we have stated in another column, two raised platforms were erected by the directors for the aceommadation of a limited num ber of ladies and gentlemen, and persons in authority. Immediately over the spot where the royal party alighted, a triumphal arch is erected, with a pendant star, the whole, illuminated with gas jets. Immediately over the clock, facing this arch, is a festoon with the , Prince of Wales' feather; and on either vide of the clock the letters " V. R. ;" these also were illuminated with gas jets ; and the whole had a pleasing effect. In the entrance 141 to the station—or rather, as we will now call it, the exit hall—was another festoon, with a star and other devices; and immediately over the front entrance were the royal arms, painted very large. The royal standard and numerous union jacks floated over the different buildings ; and the whole of the gas lamps in the station, amounting we believe to more than a thousand, were lighted. Towards three o'clock the 3d Dragoon Guards, under the command of Captain Dison, and the two flank companies of the 12th Foot, under the command of Major Percival, took up a position within the barricade, on either side of the station. The Derby and Chaddesden hussars, under the command of Captain Story, were placed close to the Midland Hotel, forming as it were a barrier at that end of the line. The Militia Staff; under the command of Captain Dixon, were stationed at one wing of the hotel ; and the Pensioners, under the command of Captain Jones, were placed at different points within the station. The troops, with their officers in gay uniforms, presented an enlivening scene ; and as the carriages rolled up one after another in quick succes sion, and set down their gaily dressed occupants, the excitement of the day, until the arrival of the Royal Family, was at its height. The time originally fixed for her Majesty's arrival was a quarter before five o'clock; but owing to the time of departure from Newcastle being changed, the royal party did not arrive in Derby until after six. Her Majesty's punctuality is proverbial, and in order that nobody might on this occasion be " caught napping," the directors intimated half past four o'clock as the hour. When the telegraph announced the near approach of the train, Earl Cathcart, Lord Grenoch, and Colonel Barnalay appeared on the plat ram in full dress uniform. The High Sheriff and the Mayor took their appointed station in order to receive her Majesty; and J. Balguy, Esq., the Recorder (in full costume), the mace and other officersebn7rers of the Corporation , and the Town-Council blsd to gether to be ready to make the presentation. A number of the clergy attended in their gowns. The cheers of the assembled thousands announced the ar rival of the train at 6.11 P.m.; and, amidst the booming of cannon, the clash of bells, and the in spiriting strains of the military band, the royal cort4e drew up at the appointed place. The Prince of Wales was standing at the glass. door of the car riage, and eyed with apparent interest all that was passing. The cheers were again and again renewed, and her Majesty and the Prince rose and repeatedly acknowledged the salutation most • graciously The door of the carriage having b een e • j opened, her Majesty bowed to the Sheriff, to the Mayor, the Recorder, and the Corporation. Sir George Grey, Bart., then, addressing the Mayor, requested his Worship to present the loyal address of the Mayor and Corporation. His Worship (receiving the address from the hands of the Recorder) im mediately presented the address (which is described elsewhere) to her Majesty. having graciously re ceived the address, and briefly acknowledged this manifes%astion of loyalty and devotion, Prince Albert alighted, and was followed by the Queen and royal children, the cheers being again renewed. The High Sheriff and the Mayor then escorted the Royal Family across the platform (her Majesty and the Prince repeatedly bowing to the ladies and gertlemen congregated on either side), to the Sheriff's carriage.. The Mayor handed her Majesty and the Royal Children into the carriage, which conveyed them to the Midland Hotel, the military presenting arms, the band playing the National Anthem, and the thousands of spectators outside the barriers cheering right loyally. On alighting at the hotel the high Sheriff and the 7Kayor receive the royal pair in the hall ; and Mrs. Cuff received her Majesty on the first landing near to the royal apartments, which hare been elegantly fitted up by Mr. Woollatt, of Derby, for the occasion. On entering the drawing room, her Majesty gave an exclamation of approval. Sir George Grey, Bart., Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. Alexander Gordon, Sir James Clark, Mr. Anson, and several ladies in waiting, formed her Majesty's suite. Thr silver dinner service provided by Mr. Cuff, from the home of Collins and Co. (of London and Bir mingham), is of the most chaste and costly descrip tion. Over the entrance to the hotel is an illumi nated cro vvn, with the letters " on either side ; and immediately opposite, in front of Mr. Hall's re pository is a star lighted with gas jets. The - bed in which the royal pair are to sleep is a beautiful specimen of workmanship, the design and the fittings being in admirable taste. Indeed the whole suite of apartments occupied by the Royal Family display great taste and judgment, and cannot fail to give satisfaction to her Majesty. " How pretty!" was, we believe, her Majesty's exclamation on enter ing the drawing room. So dense was the crowd on the platform and with out the barriers, that it was some time after her Ma jesty's arrival before we could make our way to the office to write these hurried, and necessarily imper fect ; and as we are obliged to go to press in order to save the post, we must hasten this sketch of the proceedings to a conclusion. On passing along the London-road, our attention was attracted to the coach manufactory- of the Messrs. Holmes, over the entrance to which are the royal arms, cast, and gilt and embellished. Over this is a large illuminated crown, on one side the letters "V.R.," and on the other "P. A." This was the best illumination in the town. We also observed, in passing, an illumination in front of the residence of the Mayor, Abbot's Hill; and observed some rockets ascending in the air. We belicva that the illumina tions were all prepared by Mr. Crump. At Mr. Cantrill's, the King's Head, a transparency, well executed, attracted great attention. A display of fireworks took place at the Mayor's, the public being admitted to the grounds. John Ellis, Esq , M.P. (chairman of the Midlands) and the directors of the company, together with J. Fox Bell, Esq. (the secretary), Mr. Sandars (in spector of the line), and Mr. .Mills (superintendent), accompanied the train from Normanton ; and Mr. Kirtley (superintendent of the locomotive depart ment), conducted the engine. At every station along the line, and at every avail able spot for obtaining a view of the royal train, thousands of loyal subjects were congregated, who cheered heartily as it sped along. In passing the stations the speed was slackened in order to afford a transient view of the Royal Family as they passed, and this consideration has given heartfelt satisfaction to thousands.

The military will again be in attendance; and the High Sheriff (Jedediah Strutt, Esq.) and the Mayor (Robert Forman, Esq.) will conduct her Majesty and the Royal Family to the train. All tongues, as the Royal party leave Derby, will involuntarily ex claim "God save and bless them ! " COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, SEPT. 25. Her Majesty and the Prince went out driving this morning. The Prince of Wales, attended by Mr. Birch, rode out on horseback. Her Majesty will leave Balmoral to-morrow morning, and will pass the night at llowiek, the seat of Earl Gre•" A very numerous deputation, on the subject of tht duties, hal an interview yesterday with the Chanc;....,, of the Exchequer. The deputation was headed by Mr. Hodges, and was received by the Right Hon. Baronet at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing street. The conference lasted upwards of an hour and a half.
