THE EX-QUEEN or THE SANDWICH IBLAHDB

Oar Southampton correspondent, writing last night, says
The Royal Mail steamer Tasmanian came halo dock this
morning at fire o'clock with the Sandwich Islands or
Hawaii royal standard eying. It was decided that the en.
Queen of Hawaii and her suite should not land until just
before the train left (at 11.36 a.m.) which was to convey
them to London. Captain Sawyer, of the Teammate, had
fitted up some handsome state apartments for the Queen on
board, and completely secluded them from the rest of the
ship. A number of ladies and gentleman went on board the
steamer, and were presented to her Majesty. She shook
hands with those presented to her, smiled most
graciously, sad spoke a few words to sash. At
about eleven o'clock in the forenoon oarriegee were
drawn up near the ship, cerpete were laid all along
the deck where the Queue would pass to laud
and a gangway limed with scarlet sloth was fixed to the
stem Her Majesty came out from her boudoir dreesed in
black in European fashion, end almost immediately after
wards left the ship leaning on the arm of Captain Sawyer,
the ladies and gentleman around hewing as she pared them.
Behind the Queen and Captain Sawyer walked Mr. Synge,
the British commissioner from Hawaii, in charge of the

Quetta and her suite, and on his arm leant Mrs. Kopelli,
wife of the Queen's chaplain, sod lady of hooour to bar
Majesty. Mrs. Kopelli is of really gigantic stature, with a
mauve wad handsome face, very dark complexion, fullEips,
and black sparkling ayes. Bbo wan dressed in European
costume, and seemed animated with health sod pleasure.
The Queen was assisted into an open curio" and se soca as
she Ina seated • spleadid bailout was presented to her beano
of the many spectators with which the dock was crowded.
Just before this a royal salute was fired from the platform.
s sooe as all had landed the royal party proceeded to the
railway station, where • crowd of spectators were also
assembled, who treated the intereetier visitor from the
great Pacific with much respect. The Rev. Mr. Kopelli, the
chaplain, is • very fine man. His manners and voice are
gentle in the extreme. His complexion is even darker than
his wife's. Both appear to be pure Haersuana The
exQueee will first stop with Lady Freakily who, ca bar
voyage mead the world, after the discovery of the ad
fate of her illartricsue bullhead, touched at Hawaii, sad
visited the royal lady by whom she i Dow shout to be
visited. The Hawaii' flag is useethiag like oar Union

ay. All the morning seamen have been at work
over the sails, and ropes, and yards; theelectricians
have been telling off their staff, and appointing each
to his prescribt4 duty during the voyage, and the
mechanics and engineers have been busily engaged
with "drum," and "breaks," and " jockey-
pullies," and "spider-wheels." The machinery for
paying out the cable is of course completed. A
huge trough, lined with metal, and standing some
tour feet from the deck now runs from one end of
the ship to the other. In this, at regular intervals,
are small open wheels over which the cable is to
pass, while at the stern a perfect galaxy of strange
and wierd-looking iron instruments lead up to the
final wheel over which the wire is to fall into the
ocean. Much of this machinery was need at the
laying of the Malta and Alexandria table, and now
stands, with many emendations and improvements,
ready for the great work it will be soon so called upon
to perform. At the fore end of the vessel is an
apparatus for recovering the cable if it should, in
the event of bad weather er from unforeseen misad-
venture, be found neesseary to cut it. Close by
this stand two gigantic ocean buoys, twelve feet
high and eight feet six inches in diameter, while
lower down are other buoys of less size. It is con-
fidently hoped that none of these will ever be re-
quired, and that the wheels and machinery at this
end of the vessel may return to England without
having once been used. Still, on the principle of
preparing fully for every contingency which to
human foresight seems possible, the greatest care
has been given to this branch of the undertaking.
As the day progresses rumours as to our time of
starting are rife. Four o'clock am. was first con-
fidently spoken of. Then the fact of the Caroline,
the vessel containing the shore end of the cable,
having been weather-bound, became known, and
the uselfesnesa of being at Valencia long before
her was given as a reason for delay. Meanwhile
the great vessel remains majestically still upon the
water, as if showing its indifference to the specula-
tions and prognostications of the people on
board her, and when during the smart gale which
blew yesterday afternoon " She moves a little " was
repeated from mouth to mouth, the tone and
manner in which the speech was made was in itself
a tribute Ito the exceptional steadiness of the vast
ship se are in.
The cable is peeped at curiously from time to
time, in the fore tank, as its vast coils are being
" shored up" by the workmen. This process con-
nate of a rough wooden frame-work, like a huge
I Catherine wheel, being fitted with the bellow
circle made by the stowage of the cable, and is said
to effectually preclude all chance of its being moved
or ekaken by rough weather. It should be men-
tioned that Captain Anderson, after working night
and day, has succeeded in freeing the ship's
bottom of the weeds and muscles clinging to it
entirely to his satisfaction, and that though
it is not expected we shall go to Valencia at a
higher rate than eight knots an hour, it is con-
fidently believed that on leaving there, with water
out of the after-tank, and with the load of coals
diminished, that nine knots an hour will be within
the capabilities of the ship. Thus, even in the
event of meeting with bad weather a few days after
starting, the specified rate of six knots an hour would
still be maintained. It will however be useful to
remember that a delay of some days at Valencia is
by no means impossible. The splicing of the deep
sea cable with the shore end must take place in fine
weather and for this reason, a temporary stoppage
off Ireland, if not to be expected, at least should
not cause surprise.
Reverting once more to the appearance
of the deck, the live stock stowed there
stands prominently forth. A hundred sheep, a
dozen head of cattle, countless fowls and
ducks, a score or more of shiny black porkers,
are distributed there in pens and stalls and large
oblong coops. These, however, are so absorbed
in space as not to interfere with the general effect
of tne vast area. All day long outward bound
vessels of every shape and size have sailed or
steamed as near as possible, and in one or two
instances pleasure parties hare petitioned, and of
course petitioned in vain to be admitted on
board, and the steamer chartered by the company,
and which runs regularly three times a day be-
tween this vessel and Sheerness, has discharged its
cargo of necessaries or put some of the gentlemen
