THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO FORT PITT AND THB
SUPPLEMENTAL HOSPITAL, BROMPTON
BARRACKS.

Although the intelligence arrived so late on Mon-
day evening, of her Majesty's intention to confer the loog
anticipated visit upon her brave soldiers, composed nearly
of every regiment of the cavalry and line, looted in Fort
Pitt, Brompton, and Bt. Mary's Barrack, the orders for tt e
Queen's reception were despatched with so much celerity to
the respective hospitals, that every ward was in the most
perfect state for the inspection of her Majesty. The welcome
news soon spread amongst the invalids, and throughout the
hospitals were to be seen faces teeming with delight. Upon
her Majesty's carriage approaching the drawbri !go of Fort
Pitt, where Lieutenant Breedon, 25th Regiment, 2 ser-
geant*, and 40 rank and file, were stationed, a royal salute
burst forth from the guns of the Spur Battery. The mia-
mations of the assemblage were moat loyal, enthusiastic,
and prolonged, during the entrance of her Majesty and the
royal cortege. Her Majesty's carriage drawing up to the
entrance to the hospital, a numerous staff received the
Queen, who, with evident marks of pleasure, most gra-
ciously acknowledged the same. Dr. G. Dartnell, P.M.O.
(surrounded by hie staff, Drs. Beittereby, Ridgeway, B:nert,
Moffatt, Heatley, Allen; the chaplain, Mr. Eltimsoo ; G.
Prattles and H. Hacheson, Etqn., purveyors to the forces;
together with the principal medical clerk, Mr. Dangly),
presented to her Majesty a card, containing a state-
ment of the hospital, the numbers of the wounded,
the frost-bitten, and of impaired health. Her Majesty,
taking the arm of Prices Albert, then proceeded to No. 6
ward, where about eight poor men were in bed. Her Ma-
jesty expressed great sympathy with them, spoke many
kind words to them, and inquired most minutely into their
eases, which Drs. Parry and Dubai! explained. Her
Majesty and the royal party, followed by the staff, went out
of the hospital, when, turning to the right, it brought them
into the beautiful and well-kept gardens, where the whole
of the invalids who ware not in bed were seated. Upon
the approach of her Majesty the word" attention" was
given, and every man, whether with one crutch or two,
sprung to his feet, forming two long lines of 260 each.
Every man had his card in hie hand stating his name, regi-
ment, where wounded, and in what battle. Her Majesty
was evidently affected by the scene before her, and did not
fail to speak to every man.
The inspection ended, her Majesty and suite were pro-
ceeding to their carriages, drawn up under the Martell°
Tower, when the royal attention was called to the invalid
'carriage recently sent to this fort from London to convey
the severely wounded from the railway to the hospital. This
icarriage is capable of holding fear men at fall length, and
six in sitting posture, but from it. immense weight it is not
well calculated for its object. The royal visit to Fort Pitt
GI 1 Hospital now being ended, the carriages drove off,
attended by the same staff, to Brompton Hospital, where
every arrangement had been made similar to that of Fort
P,tt, her Majesty being only attended by the staff of
the respective hospitals, thus affording ample opportn-
aity for inspecting the wards, and conversing with the
wounded. At Brompton Hospital, in addition to the
maff which had attended her Majesty at Fort Pitt,
De. Bellaeley, from Fort Pitt (in the absence of Dr. Reid,
em leave), with the Rev. Charles Green, chaplain to the
Races, accompanied her Majesty in her inspection of one or
ewe wards and the men, who assembled in number to 270.
Of these 62 have wounds, 37 frost bites, and 170 impaired
I Issalth.
This concluded the whole inspection by her Majesty, when
the royal carriages were entered at six o'clock, and a royal
'slate greeted her Mejeety on her way to the terminus,
where a great concourse of the inhabitants of the fair towns
were assembled to greet her Majesty.
There were not near so many desperate asses as when her
Majesty paid her trot visit.
