THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.

trios[ ocit *mu',

DUBLIN, Auourr 22.

It was quite clear, from the deportment of the
people OU the occasion of her Majesty's landing
this morning, that they bad "accepted the situa-
tion," had determined magnanimously to relinquish
all their expectations of outward pomp and pagean-
try,and were prepared to respect and to sympathise
with the motives which had induced her Majesty
to bespeak as much privacy as possible at the
various stages of her Irish tour. There was a
crowd of well-dressed people in the platform gal-
lery, and a much greater crowd, not so uniformly
costumed, everywhere outside, but from all there
was the most deferential deportment, and but one
stilled burst of cheering, after which the royal
cortege was allowed to pass on.

My last letter left the royal yacht lying tran-
quilly at her moorings, broadside on to the shore.
The red and blue and green lanterns of the squad-
ron had been extinguished, and a long line of light
shining through the windows of the royal saloou
formed the only indication of the presence of such
illustrious visitors. It transpired that the landing
was not to take place until the following morning,
and, with this assurance, the crowd gradually
dropped away, and the harbour was left
to its usual nocturnal stillness. Early this
morning there was, however, a considerable
change in the aspect of affairs. The royal yacht,
the men-of-war, and a whole fleet of pleasure
boats, were dressed in their signal colours, and the
harbour was dotted with row boats, the occupants
of which exhibited the usual loyal curiosity of her
Majesty's subjects whenever her Majesty is out on
one of her royal progresses. Some alarm was
created amongst the fortunate platform ticket-
holders, who had wade up their books to leave
the pier at half-past 10, by a thundering cannonade,
which commenced at 8 in the morning. Persons
came rushing and pouring down to the pier in
hundreds, but it turned out to be a false alarm—
merely the royal salute by which her Majesty
should have been received on the previous
evening, but which was postponed -by the
Queen, out of consideration for die invalids who
are known to throng Kingstown at this season of
the year. Punctually at 11, the guns boomed once
more, and the preparations for landing com-
menced. The Board of Works had, on very short
notice, improvised a handsome lauding-stage,
covered with scarlet bunting, from which a smart
and tasteful archway opened to the vessel, which
was now moored close to the pier. His Excellency
the Lord-Lieutenant came down by the quarter-
past 10 o'clock train, and was rowed on board the
royal yacht from the St. George's Club battery in
maid the bargee of the Ajax. Her Majesty gra-
ciously received his excellency in the deck saloon,
and the greetingcrf the Prince Consort was also par-
ticularly cordial and courteous. Immediately after
the arrival on deck of the Lord-Lieutenant, the royal
vessel made slowly for the landing-place, and a few
privileged persons were admitted on board.
Amongst those present on the platform were the
Kingstown Harbour Commissioners, includintiil%
Chambers, Colonel MacKernie, and Mr.
Gibbons, the harbour engineer. Mr. Chambers
had the honour of presenting an address to her
Majesty on the deck of the Victoria and Albert,
and had a most gracious reception. It is under-
stood that her Majesty, in the few brief observa-
tions she addressed to Mr. Chambers, expressed
bow much pleasure she felt in finding herself once
more in Ireland. Tho other occupants of the
platform who awaited her Majesty's landing were
Field-Marshal Lord Gough, Sir George B.own,
commander of the forces in Ireland, and staff
Colonel Lake, Colonel Brownrigg, kc., anti
the board of the railway company, includ-
ing the Hon. Geo. Hammock, chairman ;
ham Deegan, Esq., deputy chairman ; Jos. Howe,
Esq., Waldron, Esq., M.P. and Sir J. Power,
directors ; Arthur Moore, Esq., secretary ; and
Mortimore Harris, Eaq., general manager. The
platforiu galleries A and B, which would hold
about 1,500 persona, were well filled, principally
