HER MAJESTY'S JOURNEY TO BALMORAL.-GLOU

CESTER, SATURDAY.—To-day a special meeting of the town
council of Gloucester has been held, to take into considera-
tion the measures which should be adopted for the fitting re-
ception of the Queen on her way Gloucester
through to
' Balmoral on the 30th instant. Mr. Sanders, the mnnager f
the Midland Railway, has placed himself in communication
with the Mayor of Gloucester, and the necessary arrange-
ments are in preparation for the fitting reception of her
Majesty. In consequence, however, of the unruly conduct of
the public on the occasion of the last visit of her Majesty to
Gloucester (in the autumn of 1849), no persons, except offi-
cials, will be admitted upon the railway platform on her Ma-
jesty's arrival. It bas been resolved by the council to-day
that an address shall be presented to her Majesty and Prince
Albert, and this will constitute the principal feature of the
demonstrations of isyalty to be made on the occasion of the
expected Royal visit. Accommodation, however, will be
provided along the line of railway adjacent to the station for
the public to view the Royal progress.
