Departure of Her Majesty for Germany.
Her Majesty the Queen, whh their Royal High'
nesses Prince Alfred and the Princesses Helena and
Beatrice, attended by Lieut.-Colonel Du Platt
Major Cowell, and the ladies of the Royal suite,
after alighting from the Van/hall station of the
South Western Railway, proceeded yesterday after-
noon in private carriages to Woolwich, for embarka-
tion on board the Fairy steam yacht, en route for
Germany. The royal cortege,which comprised slit
carriages, was unattended by the usual military
outriders, and proceeded at a smart pace through
Deptford Broadway to Greenwich, where her Ma-
jesty arrived at 35 minutes past four, aLd was re"
ceived with unmistakeable although unobtrusive
loyalty by the entire population. As the cortege
passed the ancient church of-St. Alphege the bells
sent forth a merry peal, and the entire line of
route was thronged by thousands of persons, the
balconies and windows in the several streets being
also fully occupied by those anxious to obtain a
glimpse of her Majesty, who, with Prince Alfred
and the Princesses, was seated in the foremost car-
riage, the windows being down. Any attempt at
cheering was instantly suppressed by the majority
of the spectators, in accordance with the well-
known royal desire. Her Majesty, during the
journey to Woolwich, more than once acknowledged
her approval of the loyal scene which presented
itself, At Woolwich the streets were equally
crow led, the spacious area known as Beresford•
square, immediately fronting the main gate of the
Royal Arsenal, being occupied by many thousands
of persons ; but owing to the excellent arrange'
ments made by the police authorities no obstruction
resulted to the royal carriages, which, after leaving
Greenwich, proceeded through Lower Charlton to
Woolwich, arriving at the arsenal precisely at five
o'clock. On entering the establishment Prince
Alfred courteously returned the salute of the police
force assembled on each side of the roadway, and the
royal cortege proceeded at once to the pier,
was fitted up in an excellent manner and covered
with an awning, the floor being laid with scarlet
baize. On alighting from the carriages her Majesty
and royal family were received at the entrance of
the pier by Earl Granville (who accompanies her
Majesty to Germany), Viscount Sydney (Lord
Chamberlain and Lord-Lieutenant of Kent), Geri.
Sir David Wood, R.A., Col. Maude, R.A. (equerry)'
Sir F. W. E Nicolson (superintendent of Woolwich
Dockyard), and Capt. Gordon, military storekeeper'
Her Majesty was attired in mourning ; she appeared
to be in good spirits, and cheerfully conversed with
Lord Sydney and the officers named, who accor
panied the royal party to the pier head, off which
were moored the steam yacht Fairy, Master Com-
mander Welch, the Trinity steam vessel Irene, and
Admiralty steam vessel Vivid, Master Commanding
Al.en. The Black Eagle steam vessel, Master Cora'
mending Whittier, had left several hours previously
with the royal luggage, which was conveyed to
Woolwich by nine fourgons and vans. At 10 minutes
past five o'clock her Majesty and family, with Earl
Granville and others, embarked on board the Fairy
and the remainder of the royal suite and servants
on board the Irene and Vivid. The opposite shot°
of the river was crowded with spectators. The squad-
ron immediately got under weigh and steamed down
the river, the Fairy being in advance, followed by
the Irene and Vivid. On the squadron arriving °Lf
Erith an interesting incident occurred. The Oread
steamvessel, Capt. Whaeler, belonging to the Wool-
wich Steam-packet Company,
and plying between
Gravesend and London, was on her up voyage' laden
with passengers from Gravesend,
when she neared
the Fairy, and the Whole of the
passengers on deck
gave a round of hearty cheers, which were instantly
acknowledged by the captain and officers of the
Fairy. The squadron arrived off Gravesend shortly
before six, and made up to the royal steam yacht
Victoria and Albert, Captain his Serene Highness,
the Prince of Leiningen, and the Osborne royal
yacht, Commander Bowen. Tt e entire squadron then
dropped down the river to the Nore, where it Was
to anchor. Her Majesty and royal family were to sleeP
on board the royal yacht, proceeding to Antwerp
this morning. The police arrangt ments at Woolgilef
were well carried out by Superintendents Mark? of
the dockyard force, and Bray, of the R divisio.n;
Toe stringent regulations with regard to the clerks
and workmen at the Royal Arsenal were rigidly
e
observed, and none were allowed to witness
royal cortege. All visitors were refused admission,'
and this rule applied even to field offictra in nut'
form. Her Majesty's carriages returned to London
immediately alter the embarkation.
