MISCELLANEOUS.

Her Majesty the Qtreen and the Prince Consort,
acqompanied.by the Princess Alice, embarked at Graves-
end in, the p,oyal yacht Victdria and Albert, 4 half-past
5 o'clock yeskrday.

• Her Majesty Wa received by Viscount Sydney, the
Lord•Lieutenant,of the countyof Kent, and Commodore
'Superintendent. the Hon. James Drummond, and the
Mayor and Corporation of Gravesend.
The Royal yacht left the pier at a quarter before 6
o'clock. .
The following vessels followed the Roy,d yacht
The Osborne, Black Eagle, Vivid, and the Trinity yacht
Irene, whioh had on board the Deputy Master of the
Trinity House. - •• • • -
Her Majesty'sshibs St. George, Captain the Min. F.
Egerton ; Emerald, Captain Cumming; Firebrand, Com-
mander Bruce, ,tpgether with the Royal yacht Fairy,
preceded the Victoria 'add 'Albert, and awaited her.
arrival iu the Scheldt. .
The Royal Squadron anchored, for the night at the
Nore, the darkrfess rendering it unadvisable to proceed
further. The vessels were under Weigh at 5 o'clock this
morning, and after an unusually fine and tranquil
passage arrived off Flushing at half-past 12 o'clock p.m.
• The Royal yacht was saluted by the forts at Flushing,
and- the English Men:of-war manned yards and also
saluted. . , .

Upon entering the Scheldt the state of the tide ren-
dered it necessary to slacken the speed of the yacht, and
she proceeded slowly to ascend the river, and at 6 p.m.
anchored off .Antwerp.
The weather, which had been remarkably fine,
changed et about half-past 4 o'clock, and the rain was
very heaVy:-

As soon as the Royal yacht, anchored at Antwerp the
British Consul camp on board to receive any orders that
Her Majesty might have to give.
In attendance upon Her Majesty on board the Victoria
and Albert were L'dy Churchill, Lady in 'Waiting ; the-
Hon. Mary Bulteel, Maid of , Honour ; Lord John
Russell, Secretary of State ; Major-General the Hon. C
Grey and• Colonel. Ponsonby. Equerries in Waiting ;
Colonel the Hon. Sir C. Phipps, and Dr. Baly.
Her Majesty will land at half-past 7 'o'clock to-mor-
row. morning, . and proceed by railway to Frankfort,
where she will pass the night. •

From the latest inquiries made on,the spot where the.
frightful crush took plabe,! on' Monday ',evening, which
resulted in the death of six persons and serious injuryto-
six others, it is found that to a mOst• disgraceful species:
of larking the fatality, may, be in a measure attributed..
In the afternoon, at the ceremony in the park, we
noticed and commented upon (in our report ye.sterdavN
the utter absence of anything like suitable arrange-
ments to keep 'the immense , crowd in order that
thronged around the foundation stone. Such, we
were informed, in Stockport on Tuesday was the charac-
-teristic Of the evening gathering to witness the fire- -
works. In the afternoon, 'shortly before' the balloon
ascent, we had occasion. to pass thrmigh the Market
Place, and found much difficulty in doing so, owing to,
the dense mass of human beings thatethronged it. At
the moment of the' ascent,' the crowd had increased so•
much that, though, we wished to 'get into the square
again, we were unable, owing to the throng. A little-
confusion prevailed in the afternoon, caused by boys set-
ting crackers on fire, and throwing them on the ground,
which caused the females to run hastily away, and,
being unable to do .so owing to the throng, there was
immediately a dangerous sway of the whole mass.' We
mention these matters just to show the spirit of mischief
that was afloat. On the conclusion of the pyrotechnic.
exhibition in the Market •Place, a rush was made
down all the "brows" or narrow streets leading
from the Square, for the- place where the second
display; it was supposed, would take place. The Meal-
house Brow is the most dangerous descent, owing to a
hollow which extends the width of the street just on the
brow, and the tortuous winding it takes ; but no such
fatal consequences as we have had to report would have
occurred had the people not been excited and bent upon
a good spree. Who the woman was who first fainted
has not been discovered, probably it may be found out.
at the inquest, but as soon as she fell, and the stoppage
took place, men and lads began pushing ahead, and,
seeing some on the ground, it was thought a " jolly lark"
to push others down, and several females were treated
in a most disgraceful manner after they had fallen.
Little did those who were enjoying their criminal sport
think that beneath the writhing mass of human beings
there were lying bruised and broken bodies out of whom
life had been rudely crushed. The more humane who
endeavoured to lessen the heap of fallen ones were
thrown down themselves, and, iu several instances,
narrowly escaped the death from which they rescued
others. The militiamen, whose names we have not
yet been able to learn, ,and the constables, Marshall
and Bruckshaw, are spoken of as having acted in a
most energetic and praiseworthy manner. Several
people who tried to get up the brow, or to meet some
friend amongst those comini clown, were borne back by
the descending mass of human beings. • There were loud
and piercing shrieks, but louder shouts of boisterous
merriment, drowned then:. Hats and caps were thrown
about, women's shawls torn from their- backs. Some
rolled upon the ground, others were thrown down, all
were trampled upon, and so the mele'e continued unit(
the crush was spent, and the first dead body was dis-
covered lying in the street. Then a change took place,
and those who had been most boisterous looked' on with
fearful countenances at the spectacle of death. Body
after body was carried away; the living to have. their.
wounds attended to,' the dead to wait recognition. The
news of the calamity spread rapidly throughout the'
town, and the utmost consternation prevailed' in families
respecting relatives. It was not until Tuesday morning
that all the bodies were recognised. The irriuest was
opened yesterday at the Vernon Arms, at twee o!clock,
before Mr. W. Johnson, coroner for the district.
