THE QILLEN'S RETURN.

OSTEND, Sept. 7.
Queen Victoria arrived here incognito at 9 o'clock
this morning. Her Majesty was received at the
station by the Duke and Duchess of Brabant, and
conducted by them to the royal residence, where
the Queen lunched with the Belgian royal family.
The Queen was respectfully received upon her
route through the streets.

Queen Victoria left Ostend at eleven o'clock for
Antwerp, where her Majesty will immediately em-
bark for England.
Special agents of the railway administration had
been sent to Coburg to take charge of the train
conveying the Queen to Belgium.

WooLwicn, Thursday Evening.
The royal train, consisting of seven carriages,
which will convey her Majesty and the royal family
from Woolwich to Windsor to-morrow, arrived at
the Royal Arsenal this afternoon, and also two ad-
ditional trains for the reception of the luggage, &c.,
on its being unshipped at the wharf. The short
branch railway, just relaid from the Royal Arsenal
Pier to the Plumstead Station of the North Kent,
has been fully tested with a heavy pilot engine and
train by the chief engineer of the South Eastern
Railway, and is found to be in a perfectly satisfac-
tory condition. The police regulations issued this
day are strict as regards the non-admission of the
public to the Royal Arsenal ; and Captain Gordon,
chief military storekeeper, whose duty it is to carry
out the arrangements, has been compelled to refuse
a large number of applications for tickets, in con-
quence of the well-known desire of her Majesty
that the proceedings should be of a strictly private
nature.

DISEMBARKATION OF HER MAJESTY.
WOOLWICH, This Morning.

The disembarkation of her Majesty the Queen
and the Royal Family took place at the Roya
Arsenal Pier this morning at an earlier hour than had
been anticipated. The Royal squadron anchored
at the Nore last night, and a telegraphic message
announcing its arrival at Gravesend at half-pastl
eignt this morning was received at the Roya
Arsenal, when those concerned ia.conducting the
details of the disembarkation and the transit of the
Royal party to Windsor were immediately on the
qui vive.

On arriving at the end of the pier her Majesty
and the Royal Family, with the exception of Prince
Arthur, immediately entered the royal carriages of
the train, which was in charge of several officials of
the South-Western Railway Company, and after
the disposal of personal baggage the train proceeded
direct to Windsor. Prince Arthur, attended by
Major Elphinstone, left the Royal Arsenal for his
residence at Blackheath. It was remarked that her
Majesty and the Royal Family appeared in excellent
health and spirits.

IMMIGRANTS AT NEW YORK.—Let one but haunt
for a week the Battery, where nearly every surge
of the sea heaps the shore with immigrants from every
land, if he wishes to know New York, and can bear to look
upon the saddest of sights. Sitting close to the water's
edge, upon their boxes, many of them alone, some in sullen
groups, nearly all the women weeping and nursing chil-
dren, one would naturally conclude that they had all been
wrecked there. (And doubtless they have been, but not
by the sea.) Dreary must be that first day when the era=
grant feels the great gulf fixed for ever between him and
his native land—its cruelties hidden away behind the'
troops of familiar scenes and faces, so dear as they vanish
—and hovers on the verge of an untried world. Had they
passed through the Dark Valley itself—and we once had
philosopher in America who believed that death was i 6
westward migration of souls—and sat now at the gate of
Paradise, I fancy that they would be for a time thus dig'
consolate. Slo .vly the crowd begins to thin off at the out'
skirts ; they kiss and part from each other, and are bi
nightfall merged in the great city. What becomes of
them ? The filtration is always going on. Those who have
the most energy pass through New York to be distributed
through the prairies of the West, and not a few will pro'
sently own free homesteads in the unsettled territorial
beyond the Mississippi. The most worthless will remain
in New York to become familiar with its drinking-0811e°'
its brothels, and its station-houses. Already when the
emigrant ship comes in, the vultures are hovering on the
shore, and many a young girl and boy will become thei
prey—unless, indeed, the Emigrant Protection Societies
lately formed have routed the unholy brood. But Nelf
York yet receives two for every one it sends out to 06
West, and is always glutted with ignorant inaeses•-•-•
