THE RETURN OF HER MAJESTY:

EDINBURGH, Tuesday Evening.—The Queen
and Court left Balmoral this morning at half-past
eight o'clock, posted by Ballater and Aboyne to
Banchory, where her Majesty was received by Mr.
John Duncan, chairman and patron, Mr. David-
son, deputy-chairman of the Deedside Railway,
and a distinguished party, at the station. The
Royal train left Banchory at eight minutes past
12, and arrived at the Ferry-hill station of the
Aberdeen Railway at 38 minutes after 12. Lord
James Hay, chairman of the Aberdeen Railway,
Provost Blackie, and the other magistrates of the
city received the Queen. Her Majesty arrived at
Stonehaven at 12 minutes after 1, and bad lun-
cheon ; left at 32 minutes after 1, and reached
Forfar at 53 minutes after 2, Perth at 58 minutes
after 3, and Stirling 57 minutes after 4. At these
stations there were large assemblages, military
bands, and guards of honour, and at Stirling,
where the depot of the 42d were drawn up to re-
ceive her Majesty, Captain Wilkinson, lately re-
turned from the Crimea, was recognised and called
forward by the Queen. The train left Stirling at 2
minutes past 5, and arrived at Edinburgh at a
quarter after 6—so punctual to the time-table that
the mean variation was only 1 minute in 176 miles.
Her Majesty was received at St. Margaret's sta-
tion, Edinburgh, by the Duke of Buccleuch, Major-
General Viscount Melville, Mr. Sheriff Gordon,
the Hon. Colonel Dalziel, &c.
The Royal party drove in a succession of closed
carriages to Holyrood- Palace, amid the cheering of
a considerable assemblage. In the vestibule there
she was received by the Duke of Hamilton, the
Lord Provost, &c.
The park was lined by the 7th Dragoon Guards,
the Edinburghshire and 2d Lanarkshire Militia,
the 72d and 92d Highland Depots.
The Castle guns fired a salute on the Queen's
arrival.

The weather throughout the day was brilliant,
and the whole journey was performed without ac-
cident.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
BERWICK, 9.10 A.M.
The Queen left Edinburgh this morning at 8.30,
and has just crossed the border.
Weather splendid, and all going on well.

THE TELEGRAPH FROM VARNA TO
BALAKLA.VA.

This cable, says the Paris correspondent of the Morning
Post in his letter this morning, has never been broken.
From the day it was successfully laid, it has remained
in perfect working order, and the one or two interrup-
tions which have taken place in the communication with
London and Paris were caused by a portion of the land
line across Turkey to the Austrian frontier having be-
come injured.
It is a remarkable fact that the only thing connected
with the war which has completely realised the expecta-
tions of the most sanguine is this telegraphic cable, al-
though it was quite novel in construction and nearly
three times as long as any cable which has been laid
anywhere.

THE TELEGRAPH BETWEEN SARDINIA
AND ALGERIA.

News has been received that the cable which Mr,
Brett was laying for the Mediterranean Company, be-
tween the Island of Sardinia and Algeria has failed.
Out of 160 miles, 80 have been left at the bottom of the
sea quite worthless, and 80 miles are coming home. This
is a loss of over 100,0001. to the company, and justifies
the views of many telegraphic engineers, that the heavy
class if cable they have adopted is unsuited to deep
water.

A light sable, light compared to the one just lost,
has been laid with complete success between Varna
and Constantinople by Messrs. R. S. Newall and Co.,
for the English and French Governments ; the same
firm laid the Varna and Balaklava cable. They are
making arrangements to construct a similar cable for the
Eastern Telegraph Company, to be laid between Con-
stantinople and Alexandria, and this company are now
negotiating for the facilities necessary from the East
India Company, to complete the line to India. The
French Government have granted facilities to a company
to make a telegraph from Toulon or Marseilles, which
shall join the Eastarn Telegraph line at Rhodes, passing
by Corsica and Malta, so that when this system is com-
plete, there will be telegraphic communication with
Constantinople touching only upon French, English, and
Turkish territory ; and the same to India.
