TIIE QUEEN'S VISIT TO TILE NORTH.

Late on Saturday evening her Majesty's pleasure
respecting the arrangements of the royal journey northward
which is Axed fur Wednesday next, was signified to the
gent ad manager of the Great Northern railway. The ori-
ginal intention of her Majesty, as has already been stated,
was to proceed direct from Nine Elms station to King's
Cross, and there partake of a thjelmer before renewing
the journey. With this view the directors of the Great
Northern had commenced the erection and decoration of a
suite of apartments for the use of her Majesty. The rem-
municat hal of Saturday evening has, however, consider city
modified these arrangements. Its substance was, that in-
stead of taking luncheon at the terminus of the Great Nor.
them railway, her Majesty, on reaching the Nine Elms sta-
tion of the South Western railway, wiil proceed to Buck-
ingham naive, where she will first partake of rare-hue at
and then proceed to the Great Nurtueen railway, arriving
at the platform at two o'clock, the original time mpointed
for her departure.
In consequence of these alterations, the works in refer.
ens to the preparation of the :ipartmente for the r..clni,,n
of her Majesty, on arriving at the Kinit's-eroas station, have
been counterinanded ; and there can lie no doubt the route
to the station as originally intended will, in camas Toltec of
the Queen going to Buckingham Palace, he entire Iv altered
also. Her Majesty will pass up Maiden-lane from King's-
cross, and enter the station at the fourth gate, and at once
enter the royal saloon carriage, which will ho in readiness
to receive her.
The royal train will consist of twelve carriages, namely,
three ordinary new first-class carriages; the three roveal
saloons, one for her Majesty and royal consort, another for
his ltoyal Highness the Plume of Wales, and the third for
the royal suite; two break vans and four carriage trucks,
for the conveyance of the luggage of the royal party and
suite. The Queen's carriage will be surmounted by a
splendid silk royal standard, four feet six lev two feet, it
having been ascertained that all the bridges aid tunnels on
the line will enable them to carry a flag of such dimensions
and leave tint or five inches to spare. Thu train will he
preceded by a pilot engine for greater security, and will be
drawn by en entirely new and powerful engine, driven by
Mr. Sturrock, the locomotive superintendent.
The royal carriages at present remain at the establish-
ment of Mr. Williams, the railway coach builder in the
Gray's-inn-road; but they will he removed at au early hour
this morning to the line, the directors having resolved to
take them down on Monday on a trial tribas far as Peter-
borough.
The royal saloon carriages are quite in keeping eternally
with those of the ordinary first-class carriages of the line,
being all constructed of teals wood. The length of the royal
saloon carriage is In feet 6 inches be 7 feet R inches in
wield'. It is lined with white brocaded silk of Indian ma-
nufacture with raised scarlet flowers. The whole of the
furniture, as well as the retiring-room attached to the
saloon, is of walnut-tree wood, the chairs and ottomans
bring covered with the same material as the lining of the,
carriage. The carriage is lighted from a lantern, with a
powerful reflector over the retiring-room, and on the oppo-
site side of the salami is a magnificent mirror, reflecting
the light back again, giving the apartment, for that the
carriage really it, a moat brilliant and elegant .ippearance.
The only exterior distinction is a broad gold moulding
round the carriage, with a splendidly gilt crown and coat
of arms over each door-way, and the panels painted with
the armorial insignia of the bath and Garter.
The Prince of Wales's saloon and retiring, room is of
equal dimensions, and equally elegant, with the exception
that the lining is pure white brocaded silk, instead of leav-
ing any coloured &wen, and the saloon for the royal suite is
very similar. It may be observed, however, that the cur-
tains are of beautiful green sick, affixed to gilt rods, and the
salons arc fitted with wine-coolers, chiffounie.rea, grouches,
&c., and all the appurtenances of an elegantly furnishej.

apartment.
Her Majesty will be received at tltu station in Maiden-
lane, which will he decorated with emblematical devices in
evergreens, dahlias, and °Our Howers suitable to the or ca-
tion, by Mr. Denison, M.l'., the chairman of the company,
together with the director', Mr. Lewis Cahill, the engineer,
Mr. Mowatt, the secretary, and Mr. Seymour Clarke, the
general manager.
The directors have given orders for the erection of a gal-
levy on the platform to which two or three hundred ladies
and gentlemen will have the privilege of entrk by ticket
only ; and the ottleem of the company are to have the pri-
vilege of ranging themselves on the opposite side of the
station.
In order to prevent delay, accident, or inconvenience
throughout the royal progres,, the directors of the railway
haw issued special written instructions to be in use on
Wednesday. The following table exhibits the time of the
royal train's arrivals at the successive stations on each day :

Two MEN KILLED NE•lt LEEDS.—A most melan-
choly occurrence took place last Monday, at the works now
in progress ut liarewood, for the purpose of supplying the
town of Leeds with water from the river Wharte. It ap-
pears that Mr. James Bray, the contractor for the works,
had erected a scaffolding about 20ft. high, to support a set-
ting crane on a moveable beam. The stoneworks necessary
fur the building of the foundation of the forcing-pump was
sub-let to Joseph and Thomas Wilson. An inlet or excava.
tion from the river to the building was in the course of
being dug below the bottom of one of the props of the
scaffolding. The prop had originally been let about three
feet three inches into the ground, but one side of it was
bared by the excavation on the edge of which it rested.
The beams along the top of the scaffolding had become un-
even, and Thomas Wilson was told that they should be re-
paired before any more large stones were lifted, and about
half-past one o'clock he was ordered by Mr. Bray not to use
the crane until the prop near the excavation was shored up.
Mr. Bray's manager had, before dinner, directed a car-
penter to get the prop removed, but the direction was un-
fortunate) neglected. About half-past two o'clock,
Thomas Wilson, with another man, was guiding a
stone weighing upwards of a ton, which was being car-
ried by the travelling beam to its place, when suudoily
the weight caused the gravel forming the foundation
of the prop to slip, and snapped a beam asunder, letting
down one end of the travelling beam. The foot-board of
the travelling beam fill against a mechanic, named William
Jackson, who was fixing a barrel to the pump. His right
shoulder was jambe,' against the barrel, but he was re-
leased is about four minutes by means of a screw-jack.
He, however, died in a very few minutes afterwards. A
labourer, named Norman Walker, was near the crab on the
travelling beam, and was thrown to the ground, receiving
compound fractures of his right elbow, his left thigh, and
the bones of the pelvis. lie was carried to liarewood
Bridge, but died about ten o'clock the same evening.
Jackson was 47 years of age, and Walker was 21. Two
other men were on the travelling beam, but one jumped off,
and the other was much injured by the falling. The above
circumstances were proved at the inquest held on Tuesday
last, before Mr. Thomas Taylor, deputy coroner, and
respectable urg, and a verdict of manslaughter, in each
case, was returned against Thomas Wilson; and the jury
added that they considered that Mr. Bray and his smarm-
tendent were highly blameable in not seeing their orders
for the repairs of the scaffolding carried out for the butter
protection of the workmen.-IVdkefield Journal.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
On Saturday, the Crystal Palace was, to use Trans-
Stlsatir phr oval sgy. more sparsely attended than even
review to the lowering of the Saturday entrance fee. As
total, also. in thin attendances, the notabilities were more
issterly pointed out. The Chinese family might be seen
