ARRIVAL AT YORK.

Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Royal children
left Derby soon after 9 o'clock on Tuesday morning, and
arrived safely at York at 11.13 a.m.
About an hour previous to the arrival of the Royal train
many of the citizens had taken up their stand at the extre-
mity of the Reigate curve, where the York and North Mid.
land line joins the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway.
The snivels were continuous up to the time when the
Royal train made its appearance, at which period there
would be about three thousand persons assembled. They
formed into two lines, standing on each side of the rails '
along which the 'loyal carriages had to pass. Considerable
excitement prevailed, all present endeavouring to obtain as
good a place as they could for a favourable sight of the
Royal party; and as soon as the train arrived the loyal
citizens of York testified their affection far her Majesty,
Prince Albert, and the Royal children, by several rounds of
hearty cheering.
As soon as the train was brought to a stand the greatest
eagerness was manifested by the immense crowd of people
to obtain a sight of their beloved sovereign. The carnage
containing her Majesty was almost besieged by the multi-
tude, who cheered in the most enthusiastic manner. Iler
Majesty and Prince Albert several times came to the
windows of the royal carriage, and bowed in acknowledg-
ment of the flattering reception they met with from the
Citizens of York. Her Majesty appeared to be in the en-
joyment of good health, and seemed in excellent spirits.
The directors of the York and North Midland Railway
present on the occasion were: Mr. Thompson, the chair-
man, Mr. l'rice, Mr. Williamson, Mr. Jowitt, and Mr.
Priestman. The directorate of the York, Newcastle, and
Berwick Railway Company consisted of Mr. Leeman
and Mr. Ltichman. A number of the York police, under
the superintendence of Mr. Chalk, were present to preserve
order and regularity, and the ground was kept by the 6th
Enniskillen Dragoons, who appeared on foot in full uniform.
The soldiers immediately presented arms on her Majesty's
arrival, and the excellent band of the regiment played with
tine effect the National Anthem. . _

The royal train remained at the Ilelgate curve only a few
minutes to allow time for • change of locomotives. The
York and North Midland engine having been detached, the
York, Newcastle, and Berwick engine was festentd in front
of the royal train, and the august party proceeded at once
northwards, amidst the acclamations of the multitude, who
" rent the skim with loud applause." Mr. Harrison, the
engineer of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway
Company, drove the engine, which is new, powerful, and
beautifully painted. It was decorated with the letters
V. R. and• star. The York and North Midland Company's
locomotive, which was employed to convey her Majesty,
was nieelydecorated fur the occasion with a large and de-
gent crown and sceptre, placed upon a crimson velvet
cushion. In front of the engine was a beautiful and spirited
painting of St. George and the Dragon. There were also
appropriate flags, stars, and the motto, " Long live the
Queen and Prince Albert."
. .

The royal train being out of s'ght, the vast concourse of
spectators departed, and the 6th Enniskillen Dragoons pro-
ceeded back to York Barracks, the band of the regiment
playing lively airs in passing through the streets.

DARLING ros.

The royal train reached Darlington at a quarter past 12.
Arrangements had been made by the magistracy of the dis-
trict (and their clerk, J. S. Peacock, Esq.), in whose hands
the charge of the station was placed, fur the admission of
the public to the platform, which was well filled. A por-
tion of it was railed off, which was reserved for the magis-
trates, clergy, and the more rule of the inhabitants. There
was • very large number of persons congregated outside
the station, along the aides of the railway, who enthusiasti-
cally cheered the Queen as the train enter,d the station.
A body of the Durham county police were placed at the
station to preserve order, but the loyal and respectful de-
meanour of the people required neither curb nor spur. A
basket of fruit from the gardens of the Duke of Northum-
berland, at Stanwiek-park, was presented to tier
Majesty, as was also a beautiful bouquet, culled
from the Orange nursery gardens of Mr. Harrison,
the latter being presented through Harry Pease, Esq., of
Pierremont. Some disappointment was felt at the train
stopping in such • position that the royal carriage was
placed opposite the unreserved portico of the platform, so
that those who had secured the privilege of entree to the
reserved stands were unable to see the Queen, except for •
moment, as the train passed. The great bulk, however, on
the platform were favoured. After a stoppageof about five
minutes, during which time the engine took in water, the
train departed amidst the loud cheers of her Majesty's
loving subjects.

NEWCASTLE, QUARTER-PART ONE.

The royal cortege will arrive in the Central Station here
tan minutes hence, where her Majesty and royal suite will
leach. The corporation, magistrates, and other func-
tionaries are in attendance. There is also a guard of
honour from the barracks present. There is a large con-
course of poisons in the station, who are conducting them-
selves with the almost propriety.

(111 T ZLICTILIC

Her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and euite, arrived at
Neweastle-on-Ifyne at half-put one o'clock, partook of
luncheon, and at two o'clock took their departure
northward. The royal party arrived at the Bt.
Margaret's station, Edinburgh, at fire o'clock. and
proceeded, through the Queen's Park, to the Palace of
Holyrood, amidst the cheers of the population, who thronged
the roads and surrounding heights. The royal party pro-
ceed northward at eight o'clock to-morrow (this) zoning.

NOVEL LUGGAGE FOR RAILWATIL—An Irish
woman travelling per London and North Western Railway
from Liverpool to Manchester the other day, having secured
tickets for herself and two children, presented a large boa,
say 4 feet by 2 feet, and 2 feet deep, to the porters, which
was placed at the top of one of the carriages. The box was
not marked " Glass," or " This side up." In fact there was
nothing about it to indicate that any particular care was re-
quisite in its transmission, and when the train reached Man-
chester it is said to have been sent down the slide from the
top of the carriage on which it had rested sans c,'?..:inanie,
and alighted with a bump on the landing stage which was
calculated to produce concussion of the brain, if the box
had possessed brains. But the porters never supposed the
box id contain any brain., and they treated it like any
other box. The Irish woman claimed the box, and but for
• mistake on her part nothing more would probably hare
been thought either of her or her luggage. She made the
slight mistake, however, on getting the box free of cost
from the porters, of opening it before she left the station,
when out sprung two children who bad been packed inside,
and who fortunately, it seems, had escaped either being
!smothered or gi tting concussion of the brain from this
'hazardous mode of treatment. The railway people now
put in a claim for carriage, but who ever knew an Irish- I
1 woman with any money under such circumstances i " Get '
' blood out of a stone," is an expression generally applicable
to such cases; and, as they were not disposed to retain the
children, the box and a few clothes which now lie at the
station marked " 21. 7ld. to pay," are all the satisfaction
they obtained or are ever likely to obtain. The children
were 10 to 12 sears of age, and had been packed with a
head at either end of the box, and, except a little bit of
wood which appeared to have been accidentally chipped off
one side the lid, had no opening for the admission of fresh
air or ventilation.

HINTS TO Horse OwNERS AS TO BETTING-SHOP
TENANTS.—SeveraI of the betting-shop gentry are usually
in league together, and they refer to ens another, and have
so plausible a story that parties take thou as tenants with-
out suspicion, sad then so defective arc our laws that there
is the greatest difficulty in getting them out and avoiding
serious loss. We have a case before us to illustrate it. An
owner had the misfortune to let a house some time ago to •
nest of swindlers of this ascription. It is now shut up, has
been so fur months, possession of it denied him, and a
scoundrel pettifogger, in league with them, coolly tells him
" You can do nothing till November, and unless you give
us a sum of money (besides losing all the rent due) we shall
keep you out as long u possible." The rent being just
above Mt a year the county court is not available but
the owner intends to see what the laws against conspiracy
may do to punish such vagabonds, and we mention tho cir-
cumstance as a warning to other.—TM Builder.
