HER MAJESTY.

WINDSOR CASTLE, Aug. 11.

Her Majesty and their Royal Highnesses Prince
Alfred, Princess Helene, Prince Leopold, and Prin-
cess Beatrice left the Castle this afternoon, at three
o'clock, where her Majesty embarks in the Royal
yacht Fairy for Greenhithe.

The suite attending her Majesty consists of the
Marchioness of Ely (Lady in Waiting), the Lady
Augusta Bruce, Lient.-General Hon. C. Grey,
Colonel Sir T. M. Biddulph, Major Cowell, Dr.
Jenner, and Mr. Buff.

At Greenhithe the Queen and Royal party will
embark in the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, c.nd
proceed to Antwerp.
Earl Granville embarks with the Queen, and
attends her Majesty to the Continent.
His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, attended by
Major Elphinstoue, left Windsor for Bagahot Park.

Departure of Her Majesty for Germany.
Her Majesty the Queen, with their Royal High-
nesses Prince Alfred and the Princesses Helena and
Beatrice, attended by Lieut.-Colonel Da Plat,
Major Cowell, and the ladies of the Royal suite,
after alighting from the Vauxhall station of the
South Western Railway, proceeded yesterday after-
noon in private carriages to Woolwich, for embarlta-
' tion on board the Fairy steam yacht, en route for
Germany. The royal cortege,which comprised six
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, and was re-
ceived with unmistakeable although unobtrueivo
loyalty by the entire population. As the cortege
passed the ancient church of St. Alphage the bells
sent forth a merry peal, and the entire line cf
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
crowded, the spacious area known as Beresferd-
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 pollee
force assembled on each side of the roadway, and the
royal cortege proceeded at once to the pier, which
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), Gen.
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 accom-
panied the royal party to the pier head, off which
were moored the steam yacht Fairy, Master Coo:i-
-nlander Welch, the Trinity steam vessel Irene, and
Admiralty steam vessel Vivid, Master Commanding
Alen. The Black Eagle steam vessel, Master Com-
mending Whinier, 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 eeeveete
on board the Irene and Vivid. The opposite
of the river was crowded with spectators. The squad-
