HER MAJESTY'S JOURNEY TO SCOTLAND.

(PROM Otil 00111113PONDWIT.)
GLOUCESTER, FRIDAY KTINIIIO.
TWt neoesaary arrangements for her Majesty's re-
eeption at Gloucester, on Monday next, on the occasion of
her passing through this place on her journey to Balmoral,
are now nearly completed. Her Majesty, who will leave
Osborne early in the morning, will reach Gloucester by the
Great Western Hallway, at about a quarter past 3 o'clock
in the afternoon. The town council of Gloucester have held
three meetings within the week on the subject of her Ma-
jesty's reception. At the third meeting, held this afternoon,
• correspondence was read between the mayor and Mr.
Walpole, from which it appears that the Queen has ex-
pressed her willingness to receive an address from the cor-
poration. On the arrival of her Majesty at the Gloucester
platform, therefore, Lord Maimesbury, who will be in at-
tendance on the Queen, will present Mr. Clutterhuck, the
mayor of the city, to her Majest), and his worship will then
present the loyal and dutiful address of the corporation and
citizens.

It is arranged (in consequence of the coarse behaviour of
the assembled multitude on the occasion of her Majesty
passing through Gloucester in 1819), that the platform shall
be kept entirely clear; but accommodation for the public is
to be provided at the extremity of the platform, on both the
" arrival " and the "departure" side. Admission to these
points will be obtained by tickets only, issued by the offl-
cials. A number of railway trucks ere to be placed ow the
Itoe, near the station, in which the children of the city
public sc►ools will be placed—an arrangement not at all
likely to contribute to their safety, and where it will be
utterly impossible for the juveniles to see more than the out-
sides of the carriages as the roy4l train flits by them. Iter
Majesty, on alighting at Gloucester, will walk across the
Midland platform, and step into the narrow gauge train,
which will be in waiting for the reception of the royal
Party.

BIRM!MA'AM, FRIDAY.
A !special meeting of the corporation was held this morn-
ing, for the purpose of determining what steps ought to Pa
taken by way of evincing the loyalty of the inhabitants upon
her Majesty paining through Birmingham on Monday after-
noon nest en route to Balmoral. There was a full attend-
ance of aldermen and town councillors, and after it had been

suggested by • radical alderman that her Majesty oueht te
be solicited to spend the night in Birmingham inv. ail f
Derby—but which suggestion fell to the ground..-A cial.
mitteis was appointed to frame a loyal and dutiful addre,,
to be presented to her Majesty on her arrival at the
London and North-Western station. TI (ominous

was read by the mayor, and which in the u.u,l t•
p d the attachment of the mayor, aldermen, and
grebes of the borough of Birmingham to the pennon of her
Majesty, and their approbation of the legislation which had,
under her high sanction, of late years proceeded Iron pan
liament. Alderman Palmer proposed, maim addition tents
address, a clause requesting her Majesty at her etrlie‘t con-
venience to pray " a more lengthened .i.ot to
This amendment led to some discussion ; but at the preset;
solicitation of the mayor, who deemed it to be irre.,,0,„.„
was withdrawn. The mayor was subsequently uppoiutid
to present the address, and to make all the arrang..ra..,o,
necessary for the reception of her Majesty. Some ~1 the
town councillors appeared anxious that accommodation
should be provided for them on the presentstioe of the ad.
dress, but the mayor intimated that any arrangi-mint
that kind must be left to has and the directors of the L.
don and North Western Company, but be would euilelo4,4
to avoid any cause of complaint.
lier Majesty will arrive at the Birmingham station of the
Loudon and North-Western Company at live pen., we; ~3

take of luncheon. Having spent a brief resting period a
Swindou, and partaken of relreshmeet, her Majesty vraL

mediate superintendence of Mr. Sanders, general manager,
