RETURN OF THE QUEEN.
(By Electrk Tekitipb.)
Her Majesty arrived in Edinburgh from Balmoral
yesterday (Tueiclay) evening, at 8 o'clock.
When the Royal train was within about 13 miles
of Edinburgh one of the pipes of the boiler of the
engine burst, which detained the train about an
hour.

The accident was not such as to create the slight-
est alarm to her Majesty.
A fresh engine was sent from Edinburgh to bring
the train in.
Her Majesty was most enthusiastically received
by the inhabitants of Edinburgh in her progress to
liolyn,od palace, from which she will start for the
south this (Wednesday) morning, at half-past eight
o'clock.

THE ROYAL VISIT TO WORFILET.—WoraIey, the
teat of the Right Hon. the Earl of Ellesmere, alreauy begins
to assume a very lively and animated appearance, in anti-
cipation of the arrival of the royal and distinguished visitors,
sown% to grace the ball with their pretence. Numerous
banners had been hoisted yesterday, and were seen flutter-
ing in the breeze from the hall uud almost every building
in the vicinity. It is thought not unlikely that her Majesty
will reach Worsley Hall soon after 4 o'clock on Thurs-
day afternoon. A noble and distinguished party aro ex-
pected to meet the royal visitors, including his Grace the
Duke of Wellington, the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk and
the Lady Mehra Howard, the Marquis and Marchioness of
Westminster, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, the Earl
and Countess of Derby, and the Earl of Sefton lord-lieu-
tenant of the county). The lady in waiting upon her
Majesty will be the Viscountess Canning. The royal
dinner party on Friday is expected to include Earl
Cathcart, tho Lord Bishop of Manchester, and the
Mayor of Manchester. We regret to say that the
Earl of Ellesmere is still suffering acutely from gout, and
is at the present moment confined to his room. The Lan•
cashire 1 comanry Cavalry, of which the Earl of Ellesmere
is the colonel, will be her Majesty's military escort at Weis-
ley. It consists of five troops; the Worsley troop, in the
absence of its captain, Viscount Brackley, under the com-
mand of Lieut. Loch ; the Furness troop, under the com-
mando( Captain Michaelson; the Rockdale troop, under the
command of Captain Crook ; the Wigan troop, under the
command of Captain Lord; and the Bolton troop, under the
command of Captain Langshaws. The regiment will be
under the command of Major Gerard. We have already
given rather full details in the Express of her Majesty's
movements on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. On
Saturday it is expected that the royal train will out have
Patricrolt for the south till 12 o'clock at noon, and her
Majesty has graciously condescended to receive the
Seamy and other schools in the neighbourhood,
including those for the children of the Earl of
Ellesmere's work people at Worsli y, Elleuhrook,
Walleden Moor, Row-green, and Edgefield. These
schools will probably assemble at the north front of the
hall, about 10 o'clock in the morning, and the mothers of
the children are to accompany them, and to occupy the
slopes immediately behind them. His Royal Highness
Prwee Albert is expected, on Saturday morning, to go to
Bolton, for the purpose of paying a hasty visit to the cotton
' mill of Messrs Gardner arid Batley, and witnessing the
spinning, power-loom, and other machinery in motion.
His Grace the Duke of Wellington is expected at Worsley
this day.

SUDDEN DEATH OF COUNT

THE DANISH

We learn, with deep regret, that his Excellency
Count Recentlow, the Danish ambassador at St. James's,
expired suddenly yesterday morning, about three o'clock,
in the Star Hotel. His excellency had been on a visit to Sir
James Matheson, at the Lewis, for the last five weeks, and
arrived in Glasgow on Saturday evening, accompanied by the
Countess Resentlow and his two daughters, the Ladies Itilda
and Mulvina Recentlow, en route for London. His!excellency
at that time seemed to be in good health, and he remained
so until yesterday morning about three o'clock, when he
became suddenly ill, and expired almost instantaneously.
Dr. Macfarlane and Dr. Clark were called in without de-
lay, but it was of no avail. So far as could be ascertained
without a particular post-morten examination of the body, a
spasmodic affection of the heart was the immediate cause
of death. Count &wallow has been for a considerable
period the Danish ambassador at the British court, and
his amiable disposition secured to him the esteem and
attachment of all with whom his duties, official or other-
wise, brought hint into connection. During yesterday fore-
noon Sir James Anderson and Mr. Westenholz, the Danish
consul, called at the Star hotel to offer their services to the
Countess Reventlow, but her ladyship and her daughters
had left for London by the express train in the morning.
The corpse of the deceased was sent off by the evening train,
Sir James Anderson, Mr. Westenholx. and Dr. Strang, the
city chamberlain, accompanying the remains to the station.

TIIE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

WOOLWICH, OCT, 6.

The Resolute, Captain Horatio T. Austin, C. 8.,
the Assistance, Captain Erasmus Ommanney, and the In-
trepid, Lieut.. Commander John B. Cator, all arrived at
Woolwich between twelve and one o'clock to-day, and the
two sailing vessels were brought up at moorings opposite the
dock-yard while Mr. Atherton, chief engineer, went on board
the Intrepid screw steam-vessel acid went down the river a
short distance in her to be able to report the state of her
engines. The whole of the vessels employed under Captain
Austin in the Arctic Expedition are to be paid off at this
port on Thursday next.
Captain Ommanney has brought home the first relic that
was found by him of the traces of Sir John Franklin's
party at Cape Riley. It appears in the form of a rake, such
as are used by persons employed in collecting sea-weed.
The handle is about twelve feet long and the gathering
part about two feet six inches long, on which
six teeth have been fixed about five Inches each
in length, formed of narrow hoop iron curved
inwards. Captain Ommanney has also brought home a
young man, about nineteen years of age, of the
Esquimau: tribe, who inhabit the country beyond Cape
York, and near to the place where the North Star wintered
in 1849. 'fhe Esquimaux youth is clothed in the same kind
of costume as the other sailors, and appears remarkably
good tempered and stout for his height, with • face of an
Asiatic cad, nearly like the face of persons of Chinese origin,
but very fiat and more round. The Esquimau: is very much
attached to Captain Onimanney, and has been named
Erasmus York, after the gallant officer who brought him
to this country and the name of the Cape where he came
from. The charts brought home by the respective vessels
are now nearly completed, and afford evidence of the inde-
fatigable exertions of the officers in the execution of their
arduous duties, and will add many hundreds of miles of
hitherto unexplored lands to future maps of the Arctic
regions, and many parts only put down in haste by former
navigators have been corrected by Captain Ommanney.
Bathurst and Cornwallis, both described as islands by
former navigators, have been Maud connected together
and to the mainland by Captain Austin's expedition.
The officers and crews of the whole of the vessels have
returned in excellent health, only one man having died
since the expedition left Woolwich in June, 1850. The
unanimity which prevailed, and the endeavours to amuse
have had a most happy effect in preserving the health of all
on board the vessels of the expedition during the long win-
ter in the Arctic regions. A Royal Arctic Theatre was
opened on board her Majesty's ship Assistance.
The following is a copy of the play bill, which was die
played in the usual catch-line style of theatrical play bills:
" Under the patronage of Captain lloratio Austin, C.B.
On Saturday, the 9th of November, 1850, will be per-
, formed by the captain and officers, the popular laughable
farce of Married Life, or did you ever send your
Wife to Camberwell? After which several comic songs;
and the orchestra will perform some of the most select
pieces. The whole to conclude with the much admired
farce of the Lottery Ticket, which will be performed by the
ship's company, and embrace scenes of great interest. The
scenery has been prepared by the most eminent artists, and,
together with the dresses, are on a scale of unrivalled mag-
nificence. A splendid drop-scene by Lieutenant Browne.
Doors open at 6 o'clock ; commence at 6.30. The polite are
directed to take in charge all disorderly women and dogs.
F. J. K., printer." An appropriate epilogue was spoken
I at the close of the season on Feb. 28, 1851, and a number
lof songs were composed and dedicated to Mrs. Austin by
the authors, the whole being printed and circulated en
board the vessels.

John C. King, Esq., delegate from the branch of
the Australian Anti-Convict League in Victoria, has
arrived in town. The subscriptions in Victoria alone
to resist the continuanoe of convict transportation
to Australia amount to upwards of 0,000 sunless.
