VISIT OF THE ROYAL FAMILY TO

BOOTLMID.

The younger members of the royal family who,
as was announced some time since, are to precede their
royal parents in their visit this year to Balmoral are the
Princesses Louise and Beatrice, and Princes Arthur and
Leopold. Their royal higbneeme will leave London by the
ordinary express train from Rift's-erase Station at nine
o'clock on Thursday (this) morning, and will be attended by
Lady Caroline Barrington, Colonel the Hoe Dudley C. F. de
Roe, Major Elphinstone, Sir Jam.. Clark, Bart., Physician
is Ordinary to the Queen, ►od the members of the
suite. The royal children will travel from London by the
ordinary route of the Great Northern, vi► Peterborough,
Doncaster, York, ix., to Berwick, which will be reached
about 6.25 p.m. A stoppage of a few minutes will be made
here, during which tea will he wired to the royal party.
The journey will be resumed about half-past six, and the
train will reach Dunbar (where another stoppage takes
place) at 7.13, and will arrive at St. Margaret's Station,
Edinburgh, about 7.55. Here the royal party and
suite will leave the train, and, with their attendante,
drive through Holyrood-park to the palace. The
royal party, we believe, will remain in Edinburgh over
Friday, and resume their journey to the Highlands on
Saturday morning, leaving St. Marpret's Maim by a
special train at 8.45 a.m., proceeding by the usual route to
Balmoral. No authentic intelligence has yet been received
of the route to be taken by her Majesty and the Prince
Consort, with the remaining members of the royal family,
in their journey to Balmoral from Ireland. Various state-
ments on the subject have appeared in the English and Irish
pepare—all indicating that her Majesty would pass
through Edinburgh es route to Balmoral. We have
reason to believe, however, that the Queen will not
this season pass through the city on her journey
to the North, and that our citizens will not be
gratified by a royal visit till the return of the
Court from the Highlands, which this year will be later than
usual, in October. As the extended and improved accom.
modation at Holyrood— to which we recently referred--will
be generally completed before the return of the Court from
the North, it is to be Loped that the Queen and Prince Con-
sort will prolong their stay at the Palace, and that his royal
highness will preside in laying the foundation-alone of the
New Industrial Museum, in the development of which he
take. so warm an interest. It would be most gratifying
also if the Prince would at the same time perform the cere-
mony of laying the foundation-stone of the new General
Post-race. The commanding position of this new edifice
would admit of • public demonstration on a greater scale
than the as yet comparatively confined site of the new
museum, and both being national institutions, such an in-
auguration would be highly appropriate.—Scotsman.
