We understand that a document', bas been received
by the officials of the Scottish Midland Junction
Railway Company from Sir George Grey, Secretary
of State for the Home Department, announcing the
fact of the intention of her Majesty landing at the
terminus here ; and making inquiry as to the extent
of accommodation which could be afforded for this
purpose at the station. Sir George has been in-
formed that ample accommodation will be
afforded. Her Majesty and suite will, on
their arrival, post on by way of Blairgovv-
rie, Bridge of Cally, Spittal of Glenshee, and thence
to Balmoral. Considerable alterations are to be made
immediately at the terminus here, and we doubt not

the auspicious occasion. Arrangements are entered
into for the posting from the station here to Balmoral,
and vice versa, of the messengers in charge of the
official dispatches and correspondence of the Court,
on their arrival to and from London. The arrange.

TIIE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.
The still waters lay in their loveliness sleeping,
The last rose of sunset scarce rock'd into rest,
The stars on their bosom like restless eyes peeping,
Exchanging love-looks with yon home of the blest,
The harbour watch kindled—the vesper chimes o'er,
And evening's soft shadows encircling the shore.

E'en the seethe of the wavelet that breaks on the sand,
Like a fountain of diamonds came hushed, as it were
Some watcher's lone lullaby faint from the strand,
Or a vestal voice chaunting in solitude there.
Not a leaf did the south wind awake in the grove,
So tranquil that eve were the precincts of Cove.
But see to the northward a signal light lifted,

Is tossed by the night-breeze on high Trabolgan,
And now from Fort Cambden and Fort Carlisle drifted,
The lightning-tongued answers like magic words ran.
Aroused are the sleepers—astir is the bay—
What stands in the offing where dusk streamers play?
0 joy for thee, Erin, old poet-sung isle!
Forgot be thy long night of sorrow and gloom,
Thy Sov'reign has sought thee to bless with her smile,
And leave on thy wan cheek some token of bloom.
'Tis she is approaching, the loved Island Queen.
Her name the bright spell-word that hallows the scene.
Like a glad resurrection old Erin rejoices
The noble in patience—now noble in love;
Thru' her tears she is smiling, her children's hushed voices
Unloosed in glad music her lorn hills above.
Deep, deep, was her lament, yet deeper the cry
She lifts up exulting with happiness by.

The blue hills of Wicklow, the Dalkey, the Ilowth,
Are startled, and take up the song in surprise,
The " Cead mille failthe," that from every mouth
Floats up like an incense till lost in the skies.
They welcome her madly I the Royal, the good—
They greet her with blessings, as Erin's sons should.
In the pride of her beauty, the pomp of her state,
While only her woman heart thrills to the core,
The Sovereign of Ireland, " oull Ireland," elate,
First plants her proud foot on the minstrel famed
shore.
And auspicious as once shone the rainbow above
With her tread came the sunbeam—a guerdon of love!
0, joy to thee, Erin, no longer the singled,
The lone one lamenting in solitude there,
Thy sister isle's welfare %sigh thine now is mingled,
Forgot be thy hardships—forgot thy despair ;
As the summer fields fresh from the rain-cloud be thou,
With nerve in thy drooping arm—peace o❑ thy brow.
Yes! joy to thee, Erin, old poet-sung isle.
Forgot be thy long night of sorrow and gloom;
Thy Sov'reign has sought thee to bless with her smile,
And leave on thy wan cheek some token of bloom.
And true to thyself, true to Erie's old glory,

Thy welcome shall live in the annals o 1 story.
