Arrival of the Queen at Windsor.
Her Majesty the Queen, with their Royal High-
nesses Princesses Helena, Louise, and Beatrice,
and Prince Leopold, attended by Lieutenant-
General Grey, Major-General Seymour, the
Marchioness of Ely, Lady A. Stanley, Dr. Jenner,
and Messrs. Sahl and Buff left Balmoral yesterday
(Saturday) afternoon at 20 minutes to 1 o'clock en
route for Windsor. The royal party posted by road
to the Aboyne-station of the Deeside Railway, in
the midst of a heavy fall of snow, which gave a
very wintry aspect to the country. At Aboyne, the
nearest station to Balmoral, a special train of 13
carriages, provided by the directors of the London
and North-Western Railway, under the charge of
Mr. Mason, assistant-general manager, Mr. Neele,
the out-door superintendent, and Mr. Bore, of the
latter line, was placed ready for the reception of the
Queen and royal family on their arrival at the ter-
minus. Her Majesty and the Princess Helena on
reaching the station entered the royal saloon, placed
as usual in the centre of the train. At the back of
this was a double saloon, reserved for the use of
Princess Louise, a governess, and the Marchioness of
Ely and Lady Augusta Stanley ; Lieut.-Gen. Grey
and Gen. Seymour, with Dr. Jenner and Mr. Said,
occupied the saloon next to it. Prince Leopold and
Mr. Buff were in the double saloon in front of the
Queen's carriage, the single saloon before the former
being occupied by Princess Beatrice and attendants.
With the exception of a first-class, reserved for the
railway officials, the other carriages were set apart
for the use of the Queen's dressers, ladies' maids,
pages, and men servants, while the Royal fourgon,
&c., was placed on a truck at the rear of the special.
The Royal train, accompanied by Messrs. Mason,
Neele, and Bore, left Aboyne at 2 30 p.m., on its
way to the south. Aberdeen station, where the
Scottish North-Eastern Railway commences, was
reached at 332 ; the IBridge of Dun, 4 50, and
Perth, 122} miles, at G 18 p.m. Here the first
stoppage was made, 45 minutes being allowed for
refreshments, and at 7 3 p.m. the journey was re-
sumed over the Caledonian line, the train reaching
Greenhill at 8 19, Summit 9 SG, and Carlisle, where
the London and-North-Western system commences,
at 11 25, a total distance of 2732 miles having been
run up to this point. Once more a stoppage was
made, this time only for a quarter of an hour, in
order that the Royal travellers might take some
refreshments, and that the engines might be
changed. Her Majesty left Carlisle at 11 40 p.m.
the train passing over the London and North

Western Railway, and successively arriving at
Kendal Junction at 1 3 a.m. this (Sunday) morn-
ing, Boar's Head 2 34 a.m., and the Bushbury
Junction of the -Great Western Railway at 4 55
a.m.

At Bushbury Mr. J. Grierson, the general
manager, with Mr. Tyrrell, the superintendent of
the line, Mr. Spagnoletti and Mr. Armstrong, of
the Great Western line, took charge of the Royal

train, which passed Birmingham, 467 miles, at 5 29

a.m., reaching Leamington at 6 6 and Oxford at
7 20, at both of which places short stoppages of fire

minutes were made. The remainder of the journey
was rather wet, the rain falling pretty steadily.
Culham, Reading, Twyford, and Slough were next
rapidly passed (the Royal train, throughout the
journey of 580 f miles, keeping splendid time),
and the special arrived at the *Windsor terminus
of the Great 'Western Railway exactly to the
minute named on the time-table, 845 a.m. Rain
was still falling when the Queen entered the station,
from which the public were excluded, none but the
officials peing present on the platform, though a few
spectators, whose loyalty not even the drizzling wet
could damp, clustered near the entrance, and were
well rewarded for their patience by obtaining an
excellent view of what was going on.
A few minutes before the train reached Windsor
the Royal carriages were despatched from the Castle
mews to the station.

Her Majesty stepped from the saloon as soon as
the train paused, and, followed by the rest of the
Royal family, was received on the platform by
Lieut.-General Grey, General Seymour, Mr. J.
Grierson, and Messrs. Neele, Tyrrell, Besaut, and
Matthews, and conducted through the private wait-
ing-room to the carriages, which in a few minutes
with the rest of the cortege drove through the town
and up the hill to the Castle, where the Queen
arrived at 9 o'clock, the Royal Standard having
been hoisted above the Round Tower as the special
train passed over the Thames from the Bucks to the

Berks shore.
Apparently her Majesty and the Princesses were
in the best health. The Queen wore mourning, but
their Royal Highnesses Princesses Helena, Louise,
and Beatrice, were attired in grey cloth jackets,
dark dresses, and bonnets trimmed with blue. Her
Majesty's journey was deferred from Friday to Sa-
turday, in consequence of the funeral of the Pre-
mier taking place on the former day.
The Queen and Royal family, it is understood,
will reside at Windsor Castle for about six weeks,
Osborue
and then will pay a visit to
Dcember.
