HER MAJESTY'S PROGRE

The progress of her Majesty on Monday frt
Lancaster to Carlisle was uninterrupted by a sit
accident, and scarcely by a single stoppage. 'A
train arrived a few minutes before the time fixed
thus showing the great accuracy and stead
with which the driving was conducted. It na4in
been arranged that her Majesty was to take Wu:
cheon at Carlisle, and a stoppage of half an hour
took place for that purpose. The luncheon fr,
spread in the County Hotel, a new building th
has been erected close to the station, and to whieu
there is an entrance without appearing in
The reception at Carlisle was a magnificent sce,l3u.
On the platform, to receive her Majesty, were tee
Earl of Lonsdale, lord-lieutenant of the county, t"
Bishop of Carlisle, the Dean of Carlisle, Sir Jo the street.e.
Heron Maxwell, Mr. Howard, of Greystoke,
several of the landed proprietors in the neighbow:,
hood. The station itself was filled, to an exttenv
that must have been far from comfortable, with n.e
elite of the city, and their struggles and anxietyn

front, but they bore it all with great good hunlat`,.
Outside of the station, however, and in front of the
windows of the County Hotel, an immense mint
tude—apparently the whole population of the to.r.
—had assembled, as it was expected that her ,P"
jesty would come to the window and acknowledg
the acclamations of her people. Not satisfied 1171,,7
this, the crowd, to the extent of several thousands,
came rushing towards the line after her Majesty
had left the hotel, in the desperate hope of °a:be
ing another glimpse of her as the train swap "Y'

On leaving the station, her Majesty bowed to La
an,
Lonsdale and the Bishop, and Prince Albert
dially shook hands with both. • The train was
put in motion, and they were borne on amid the
farewell acclamations of the people of Carlisle.

and there were many such—groups of persons Were

strong relief the picturesque outline of the Pet-of

was a quarter before seven, and precisely at "-:
time, oerather two minutes before it, the

which her Majesty passed ; for, except the Mu' „a

the Lord Provost of the city, aTed
the sheriff of the county, no person was ablitt

by the remainder of the regiment and the ~sae
King's Own. The progress to the Abbey P',Cgie
differed in many striking respects from her
jesty's former entrances. Instead of the v4c1.,44
picturesque appearance of the Queen's n.
through which she passes when entering
_T-011
burgh by the North British line, she paantit
this occasion, through the heart of the town. 0{
then that progress included the whole lengla
Princes-street, from the Castle to the CaltonTei
constituting a vista as noble and stately as
thya
capital in Europe can furnish. The whole of lie
splendid street, and the other streets on the hio'l
were crowded with spectators, who, of their °,Oll
accord, formed a double avenue, throughLf„P 00
her Majesty might pass. The Queen and r'7.o
Albert, with the children, proceeded in all eh'
carriage slowly through the multitude,
bearing was at once cordial and enthusiastic, -111
cheering being kept up during the whole tireifeo°
her progress. After a progress of nearly 10-
hour, the Queen entered Holyrood, and the ,0
geant was at an end. 1,0
The Duke of Cambridge, who happens to
Edinburgh at present, on a visit, called ,°l'`,,rti
Majesty on Monday, and joined the Royal Piure
at breakfast before her departure. That dePart;oll
