THE QUEEN'S VISIT T HE CITY.
Commodore Superintende den, of Wool wich
~kyard, was yesterday in active communication
.kith the Lord Mayor with reference to her Majesty's
visit to the City on the 30th instant, and it is under-
-1 that the general arrangements of the aquatic
&c., have been agreed upon between the
and civic authorities. The details, however,
met to be considered before the programme is
,aed; but it is likely that the procession will be
somewhat similar to that which was formed on the
occasion of his late Majesty King William and Queen
Adelaide's visit to Greenwich in 1835.
There will be no less than a dozen barges and boats
belonging to her Majesty's service in the royal river
squadron, in which the Queen, Prince Albert, the
Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, the Ministers
of State, the Board of Admiralty, the principal officers
of the Admiralty, Somerset House, the Trinity cor-
poration alai Trinity brethren, the Vice-Admiral, the
lion. G. Elliott, C. 8., commanding in chief at the
Nore; Commodore Superintendent Eden, Captain
Superintendent Sir John Hill, of Deptford Dockyard ;
and Captain Elliot, of the flag ship at the Nore, will
be embarked.
The Lord Mayor's barge, according to present
arrangements, will immediately precede the royal
state barge; and after the barges containing the
distinguished personages above mentioned, those of
the various companies will follow according to se-
niority.
The Right Hon. Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence,
G.C.H., the captain of her Majesty's yacht, will have
the honour of steering the Royal state barge.
The most effective means will be taken to preserve
the course from Westminster bridge to the Custom
House free from all obstruction. The entire line on
the City side of the River will be formed by stearnerg;
and on the Borough side by river barges, allowing a
clear space of about 200 feet in width for the royal
and civic barge squadrons to pass through. At
Westminster-bridge it is proposed to form a cordon
of steamers across the River, and the line across the
River below the Customs will be formed by large
steam-vessels. The ostensible charge of keeping the
course clear will devolve upon the Harbour Master of
the Port of London, and the civil force placed at his
disposal, and in this onerous duty he will be assisted
by the boats and blue jackets of the Royal Nary.
Should the weather not prove propitious, it is most
likely that the Queen will select one of her steam-
yacht tenders, instead of the barge, for conveying her
Majesty from Whitehall to the Custom-house ; in
which case the principal personages of the procession
will also be provided with steam-boat accom-
modation.
If the weather should turn out to be fine the barge
procession will terminate at the Custom-house, and
her Majesty after performing the ceremony of for-
mally opening the Coal Exchange, and of most
graciously condescending to partake of the Lord
Mayor's hospitality, will return to 'Whitehall-stairs in
the Elfin steam-yacht tender.
Both the Fairy and the Elfin have arrived at
Woolwich, and having had their masts removed, and
their funnels made to lower, in order that they may
be enabled to pass under the bridges, are quite ready
for the royal river service, but that no mistake may
occur on the 30th, the Fairy and Elfin will run up
and down the course from the Custom-house to
Westminster-bridge on Saturday next, when their
efficiency and capability in respect of draught of
water, &c., will be thoroughly tested.
We believe all the military bands of the metropolis
and of Woolwich garrison will be in attendance on
this most auspicious occasion.

Yesterday the corporation committee for making
arrangements for the reception of the Queen, and the
committee of aldermen, employed in a similar manner,
assembled in Guildhall and were occupied during the
day in attending to the minor details of the various
duties which have devolved upon them. The whole
of the time of the two committees (both which the
Lord Mayor attends) will be occupied until the de-
parture of her Majesty. The announcement that the
Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal are to ac-
company their royal parents was received most en-
thusiastically in the committees.
