HER MAJESTY'S PROGRE

The progress of her Majesty on Monday* 11
Lancaster to Carlisle was uninterrupted by a r
accident, and scarcely by a single stoppage. The
train arrived a few minutes before the time fa ;
thus showing the great 'accuracy and steadinel
with which the driving was conducted. It 11au
been arranged that her Majesty was to take '111111;
cheon at Carlisle, and a stoppage of half an h°
took place for that purpose. The luncheon we!
spread in the County Hotel, a new building that"
has been erected close to the station, and to whica
there is an entrance without appearing in the street.
The reception at Carlisle was a magnificent scene.

Outside of the station, however, and in front of i
14,
windows of the County Hotel, an immense 1001_,
tude—apparently the whole population of the tom
—had assembled, as it was expected that her M
jesty would come to the window and acknowleaK
the acclamations of her people. Not satisfied IT':
this, the crowd, to the extent of several thousal7
came rushing towards the line after her Maiesii;
had left the hotel, in the desperate hope of calv
ing another glimpse of her as the train swap

On leaving the station, her Majesty bowed to
Lonsdale and the Bishop, and Prince Albert Nen
dially shook hands with both. The train was
the
put in motion, and they were borne amidfarewell acclamations of the people of Carlisle.. _
The train had now entered the Caledonian lv;
and was soon lost in the deep solitudes, the
..„,
row glens, and the wide extending mosses of Du 7„
friesshire, and. the upper ward of Lanarkshire.,ero'"
the widest of these solitudes, however, nor
scarcely a human habitation was to be seen 0,
miles, it happened that wherever there was 3
vourable part of the ground, wherever a steer!
dine retarded the onward sweep of the tralnere ,
and there were many such—groups of persons we
to be seen collected near them, many of v41°111,40
peared to have travelled for several miles in
to have this chance opportunity of seeing thell_At,
vereign. These increased of course as the
approached the more cultivated and the rore
pulous districts.
The sun was setting as the train apPro is
Edinburgh from the west, and brought 011"
strong relief the picturesque outline of the Pell.n-of
range on the south, with the lion-like fnhe
Arthur's Seat, crouching guardian-like, over
northern capital. The time fixed for the nisi
was a quarter before seven, and precisely at,,,0
time, or rather two minutes before it, the
liso3
stopped at the Lothian-road station. Tk.,_e,ogli
presented a contrast to the other stations tn!"tory
which her Majesty passed ; for, except the low and
which lined it, the Lord Provost of the eitAttel
the sheriff of the county, no person was Will?,
inside. The station was, however, very tact
decorated with flags, and the offices trans::hich
into an elegant reception chamber, over O,O
waved the Royal standard. The door of eiit
ntea
also ornamented ; a graceful canopy surraiters;
it, supported with columns festooned with rte,"oll
and as the Scotch people are at present seizeu„oble
a fever of more than ordinary nationality, a ,Prog
thistle, surmounting the whole, brought into
prominence the country of which it is thesea at
,
On alighting, her Majesty and Prince A-aivito,;
once recognised the municipal and civil auth°q,,,o
and then proceeded to the reception rooms, the
whence to the carriage in waiting for thew as to
other side was but the work of a few rail:lL
tD
An escort of the 7th Hussars was in wai,..t7oro,
conduct them to Holyrood, and the streenioea
short, a very short, part of the distance warektbot
by the remainder of the regiment and the;oce
King's Own. The progress to the AbheY !do:
differed in many striking respects from ilfd -
jesty's former entrances. Instead of the NrPvort
picturesque appearance of the Queen's .)kj,
through which she passes when entering oti
burgh by the North British line, she passed''po
this occasion, through the heart of the town.Ao
then that progress included the whole leDv
Princes-street, from the Castle to the Calto 019
constituting a vista as noble and stately astbis
capital in Europe can furnish. The whole
o Ana,
splendid street, and the other streets on teat 0101
were crowded with spectators, who, of their,iiicll
accord, formed a double avenue, throughjfive
her Majesty might pass. The Queen and pel/
Albert, with the children, proceeded in all:05e
carriage slowly through the multitude, „rti;
bearing was at once cordial and enthusiasil,t'e
cheering being kept up during the whole t"-if3
her progress. After a progress of nearly 21°,
hour, the Queen entered Holyrood, and
geant was at an end.
The Duke of Cambridge, who happens to her
Edinburgh at present, on a visit, calledLgti
Majesty on Monday, and joined the Ror"irtlife
at breakfast before her departure. That dePtoolci:j
was fixed for a quarter-past eight, and Punnetio,

and entered the carriages at her old startn-VOii
of St. Margaret's. The Royal train then left

By electric telegraph, we learn that the
