highly pleased with the cathedral and the college.
DINNER IN 1104101 IR OF HER MAJESTY'S VISIT.
The Provost of Glasgow, magistrates, town council,
and • eel company of guests, dined on Tuesday
evening in Town-hall, C
_rose, in honour of her Majesty's
visit to that city. The Lord Provost, Bir J. ANDIIIIOX,
occupied the chair. Bailie Stewart discharged the duties of
croupier. On the right and left of *, chairman we observed
the Very Rev. Mad* Materials, Alex. Hustle, Esq.,
BWiff Whoa, Meier Campbell, Captain Raga,

R N., James Lumsdan' Esq , Henry Dunlop, Esq., Bm.
On the right and leR of the croupier were the Bishop of
Glasgow and Galloway, Rev. Drs. Dl'Leod and Robson,
Blusiff Bell, &e. There were upwards of 200 gentlemen
present. The magistrates wore, u during the promosion,
the civic costume,

After the cloth was removed,
The CHAIRMAN called upon the company to fill a bumper
in honour of a toast which he was lure would be received
with peculiar enthusiasm. The hon. gentleman then pro-
ceeded, in appropriate terms, to propose " The Queen." He
said, lhe presence of Ler Majesty iu this each at city bad
bean extremely gratifjirig to the citizens. It woe unneces-
sary to refer to the numerous virtues of that distinguished
personage. They, all felt and appreciated them. Under
her reign they enjoyed many valuable and precious privi-
leges. While other nations were disturbed by internal com-
motions, the people of Great Britain were enabled to lead
quiet and peaceable liviv.
The toast was received with the utmost enthusiasm, and
drank with all the honours.

. .
The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Prince of Wales, the
Queen Dowager, Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal
Family," which was also eery cordially responded to.
The CHAIRMAN then gave in succession, "The Army,"
"The Navy," and " iler Majes y's Ministers." Major
Campbell, lately returned from the Kaffir war, and now
commander of the enrolled pensioners, returned thanks fur
the army, and Captain Forrest for the navy.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Members for the
City," and la doing so, highly complimented the honourable
gentlemen at present holding this office, for the efficient
manner in which they discharged their onerous duties.
To Mr. Haiti, the magistrates were particularly indebted
for the valuable assistance which he hal rendered on that
momentous occui in, and he was sure that all were highly
gratified by the presence of that gentleman at their hu-
gest. The toast was drank with loud applause.
Mr. MASTIC, M.P., returned thanks at considerable length
for the manner in which the parliamentary services of him-
self and his colleague had been spoken of and responded to.
He said he was sensible of many deficiencies, and made
particular allusion to his want of thou public appearances
which every great city like Glasgow naturally expected of
their representative. lie had exerted himself, however, to
discharge the more private, though not less necessary or use-
ful, departments of his office and he trusted that all his
votes and proceedings in parliament hid been a fair indication
of the feelings and principles ni the citizens of Glasgow. In
the course of his speech, Mr. Hastie complimented the
Lord Pravost for the admirable manner in which the
whole proceedings of the day had been anducted, end
alluded to the high honour which her Majesty had been
pleased very properly to confer upon him. It was too
much the practice to speak lightly of this and the other
man tieing made a knight or a baronet. But the Queen, in
her various progressed through the country, had shown that
sle attached a proper value to these distinctions, and he
hoped the citizens of Glasgow would think highly of the
honour conferred upon them in the person of their chief
magistrate. He proposed "The Lord Provost, Magistrates,
and Council of the Ci'y of Glasgow," which was drunk with
much enthusiasm. . .

The LOAD Pwevoter replied, that the honour of knight-
hood had been conferred upon him quit* unexpectedly ; and
that when it was proposed to him, he did not hesitate to
accept it, simply because he believed that in honouring him
it was intended to honour the citizens of Glasgow, and be-
cause he had hopes that the fact of such a distinction haying
been conferred upon him might have the effect of sew's..
Mg the prejudices of some parties in the city, who thought
it beneath their dignity to devote themslyes to civic business.
Alter some other toasts,
The company eepirated at a seasonable hour, highly
gratified with the proceedings of the day.—Daily Mail.

ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AT PERTH.
(Front tho Daily Mail.)
PERTH, TUESDAY, 5 o'CLoca P.Y.
Her Maieety, Prince Albert, four of the Royal
children, accompanied by Sir G. Grey, the ladies in
waiting, &c., arrived here at twenty minutes to four
o'clock, having occupied two hours and seven minutes
in coming from Glasgow. The train consisted of
five carriages. The engine was driven by Mr.
Harrison, superinterdent of locomotives, Messrs.
Errington and Falsha.v having a place beside him.
It was preceded by a pilot engine, which came into
the station five minutes before the Royal party.
Her Majesty was received on the platform at the
terminus by Sheriffs Crawford and Barclay, the ma-
gistrates, consisting of Bailie. Dewar, Stuart, Stmd-
den, and Pullar, Dean of Guild Imrie, Treasurer Ross ;
Bailie Dewar acted as chief magistrate, in room of the
Provost, who has resigned. There were also on the
platform a large number of ladies and gentlemen,
among whom were Sir James Ramsay of Banff, Sir
Patrick Murray, of Threipland and Fingesk, Captain
Wemces of Wemyss Castle, James Bogie, Esq., &c.
Lord 'Duncan, chairman, Messrs. Bruce cf Kennet,
Stirling of Kippendavie, Oliphant of Condie, Condie
of I'erth, W. Peddle, Blackruthven, the directors of
the railway, accompanied her Majesty.
Her Majesty was loudly cheered by the company
assembled as she stepped on the platform, and, leaning
on the arm of Prince Albert, preceded by the royal
children, walked along to the carriage waiting at the
entrance to the station. The high constables, num-
bering 90, headed by D. Marie, Esq., formed a body
guard, walking alongside the royal carriage. The
sheriffs and magistrates were in three carriages,
preceding her Majesty. On emerging from the
station, and entering the royal carriage, the royal
party were again enthusiastically applauded ; and
to these plaudits repeated bows were given. Her
Majesty was dressed in a green flowered dress, Stuart
tartan shawl, and white s.lk case bonne', with white
feather. The Prince was attired in a blue paletot,
striped waistcoat (shawl pattern), and checked
trousers. He wore the ribbon of the Order of the
Garter.
As the procession passed along Marshall-place,
Prim:tee-street, St. Joh”-street. and George-street
they were cheered by large crowds in the street., and
by ladies and gentlemen who were stationed at every
window along the route. On arriving at the George
Hotel, tremendous cheers proceeded from the assem-
bled multitude; these her Majesty repeatedly acknow-

lodged.
Her Majesty's carriage was drawn by four horse,.
The entrance to the general station was beau'ifully
decorated with evergreens, and at the outside gate a
very handsome arch was erected, with the inscription,
" Bless the Queen, Prince Albert, and the bairns,"
and St. Leonard's was adorned with a magnificent
triumphal arch, surmounted with various flags and
elegant devices. The evergreens and flowers were
obtained chiefly from the grounds of Archibald Turn-
bull, Esq., Sir John Richardson, Sir Thomas Mon-
crieff, and Lord Mansfield. The utmost decorum pre-
vailed, and much praise is due to the mazistrates of
the city for the excellent arrangements which were
made for her Majesty's reception. Along the
route of the procession special constables
were stationed. The magistrates had issued
a proclamation forbidding vehicles of any kind
upon the streets, while the foot-pavements were re-
served for the spectators. Barricades were erected at
the principal thoroughfares. In George-street we
observed several flogs, and the royal standard floated
from the top of Marshall's Monument.
The bells of St. John's Church rang merry peals ;
nor should we forget the firing of cannon from the
battery of Mr. Turnbull, of Belwood, which ever and
anon re-echoed from the surrounding hills.
Her Majesty's reception in Perth was everything
that could be desired.
The high constables are summoned to be in readi-
ness for the departure to-morrow morning, wtich
is expected to be at 10 o'clock. Her Majesty will poet
direct to Balmoral from Perth, by way of the Bridge
of Isla, Blairgowrie, Spittal of Glenehee, and Castle-
ton of Braemar.
