The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
.he Company being prohibited, by the 514th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis:
puting a Policy upon any ground whatever.;
' The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PRE NIIIT.M SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p iid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNER HIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equator.
No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
the assured life.
The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons,
approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in
connexion with this Company.

THE POET ANI) THE RUIN.
Along the Medway's beauteous brink,
A poet strolled to gaze and think ;
When lo ! an old romantic tower
Arrested him with mogic power.
The poet stood to gaze awile
Upon the antiquated pile ;
And while his raptured vision falls
Around the venerable walls,
He feels the Muses' secret power,
And thus addressed the ruined tower:—
"hail, fabric of the bygone days,
On thy rich scene I love to gaze;
Like some fair picture dost thou seem,
Near Medway's undulating stream.
Those old, grey mouldering stones of thine
Inspire a fancy warm as mine ,
And thus I've owned the secret power,
Thou venerable ruined tower."
" Thanks," said the pile—for stones are able
To talk away, like bricks, in fable—
" Thanks, worthy poet ! many thanks,
For musing thus on Medway's banks ;
But really I'm surprised that you,
Who sing of Moses as you do—
Yes, I'm surprised, I must confess,
You did not touch upon my dress.
This ivy mantle, which you scan,
Acts as does Moses' dress on man.
Had you not been to Moses' Mart
For garments so extremely smart,
You'd look, from what I see of you,
Not quite so handsome as you do.
And this, applied to me, fond youth,
Is nothing but the naked truth.'"
The Bard had not a word to say,
But feeling guilty, sneaked away.

BENEFICES IN PLURALITY.—On the motion of
Mr. Frewen, a return has recently been made to the
House of Commons of the fees paid to the Faculty's-
office, Doctors' Commons, for dispensations to hold be-
nefices in plurality since the passing of the Pluralities
Act. From this document it appears that the amount of
all the fees paid into this office for dispensations to cler-
gymen (the number being 595) to hold benefices in
plurality, since the passing of the Act above-named in
1838, was 9521., the charge for each dispensation being
1/. 12s. The fees paid previotmly to the passing of the
Act amounted (when the dispensation was for one dio-
cese) to 61. 18s., and when for two separate dioceses to
91. 18s. At that time the Archbishop of Canterbury re-
ceived a fee for each dispensation of 21.35. 4d., which is
not now paid.
THE MURDERS IN LEYESON-STREET.—The interest
connected with this horrid affair is being revived as the
time approaches for the trial of Wilson, the person
charged with the murder. ILls conduct in Kirkdale, in
regard to compliance with discipline, is said to be all that
could be required. It was at first thought, from his
having sent for the depositions to the coroner, that he
meant to defend himself, andt such was, in fact, his in-
tention. A mysterious friend has sprung up, however,
in Scotland, and it is stated that plentiful funds will be
forthcoming to engage first-rate counsel for his defence.
Who the party moving in the matter may be we 'are
unable as yet to state, but a. respectable solicitor in this
town has been instructed in the matter. His immediate
instructions are from an agent in London, and he is
unable to form any idea of t'aeir ultimate source. The
arrival of Captain Henrichson, is, we believe, daily ex-
pected.—Liverpool Mercury.
DESTITUTION IN HARRIp.---A correspondent, who
dates " Harris, 27th July," says—A small whale was
shot on Friday last by Mr. Morrison, the schoolmaster
of Kylisscalpay. No sooner was the blubber shorn off
the carcase than the most needy of the inhabitants came
craving the carcase to be divided among them for family
consumption. The generous teacher immediately dis-
tributed the animal amongst the applicants. Those to
whom it was given relished it with the greatest appetite,
and depended upon its nourishment three days succes-
sively. They went to Tarbert, where the destitution-
store meal is kept, in the hopo of getting a few pounds
of meal to put on the juice for porridge, but their ex-
pectations were disappointed. —Edinburgh News.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A. certified Cure of Scrofula
by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—The following certificate
from Mr. Alcorn, of Jerry's Plains, New South Wales, was
forwarded to Professor Holloway by Mr. Pinkey, chemist, of
the same place. " This is to certify that my daughter, aged
seven years, was afflicted with scrofula for three years, and that,
after she had been attended by several respectable practitioners,
without success, I was induced to try Holloway's Ointment
and Pills, which remedies in about three months completely
cured her, and she is now in the best of health. This can be
verified by various persons in this vicinity, where I have resided
for twenty-two years. (Signed) R. .Alcorn. Jan. 1, 1849."

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.
(From the Chronicle.)
DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING.-1 sit down in the
comparative tranquillity of my hotel, to give 3 ou
something like a coherent account of the proceedings
at Kingstown, and to sketch, in a brief arid very
general way, the aspect of things during her Majesty's
transit from the harbour to the Viceregal Lodge. I
say the " comparative tranquillity"
of my hotel, fur
absolute tranquillity in Dublin at present there is
none. The whole city is overboiling with life and
excitement. I found the streets more animated than
I expected on my first arrival. That animation had
wonderfully increased on my return from Cork, when
decorators and painters were working as hard as thew
and muscle would permit them, and the streets were
thronged with the vehicles of the numerous strangers
whom interest or curiosity had attracted to the Irish
capital. •
This evening, however—although the immediate
cause of excitement is over—although the Queen is
probably just sitting down to the hospitable table of
her Viceroy—the broad thoroughfares of Dublin are
moving masses of anxious and excited spectators.
The continuous clatter of passin e carriages would do
honour to an, afternoon in Cheapside. The dust,
trampled and pulverised by the hundreds of thousands
of passing feet, hoofs, and wheels, is flying in subtle
and penetrating clouds from the Phoenix to College-
green, and, in fact, the entire aspect of the good town
is that of a city plunged into a perfect maelstrom of
giddy and overwhelming excitement.
On mentally reviewing, my hurried sketch of this
morning's doings at Kingstown harbour, I do not
see that I can add any very material feature to the
descriptive portion of the letter. I know, however,
the difficulty which people frequently experience in
realising in their own minds, in seeing with their own
mental eyes—something like an exact and satisfac-
tory portraiture of a scene of which they read. And
as the scene which took place this morning when the
Queen of Great Britain landed in Ireland may be
fairly deemed historical, I shall perhaps be forgiven
by you and your readers if I venture more carefully
to retrace the ground which I have already hurriedly
traversed.
Let me, therefore, try to paint a word picture of
Kingstown Harbour. First then, will the reader
call up in his mind's eye a long concave range of
shore, forming a segment of the coast line of a great
and wide-spreading bay. Near at hand, on the left
side, looking inland, he will place a tumultuous
gathering of heath and corn-clad hills, tumbling down
to the sea, and flinging out their farthest reaching
masses in the islets of Dalkey. Far away to the
right lie Howth and the white piers and light-
house of Dublin Harbour. But with them we have
little at present to do—we keep to the foreground.
There one sees white lines of holiday and summer-
looking houses, stretching along above the beach,
in pleasant terraces and rows. Lawns spread
out their green carpets of sward before them,
shady avenues wind hither and thither, and
clumps of bright and leafy foliage fling their fresh
and sylvan greenery up into the sunny air. Be-
neath all this winds the brown and shingly beach,
hemmed in with sea walls, and dotted with bathing
stations.
So much for the coast. Imagine next, two great
massive lines of pier, at once wharfs and breakwaters,
flinging out their granite arms, and thus as it were,
retrieving the space which they embrace from the
open ocean. The area of still water thus formed is
Kingstown Harbour. At its lower end, its farthest
inland extremity is a cross wharf. An hundred paces
behind it is the terminus of the Dublin and Kings-
town Railway. From this wharf—it is locally called
the jetty—the mail packets usually start. Their
station, however, has been for the present shifted to
the bight of the southern sea wall, and to day the
Victoria and Albert lay alongside of the pier in ques-
tion. On either side of this central landing place
wind back a couple of slightly traced bays, which
afford a convenient anchorage for scores of yachts
and pleasure boats. The larger vessels, principally
steamers, lie off the jetty, more or less towards the
centre and mouth of the harbour.
I have in these few sentences tried to conjure up
before the mental apprehension of the reader the
general shape of Kingstown Harbour, and the coast
scenery by which it is environed. The frame-work
thus completed, the touching in of the details will be
less difficult.
Every one can people such a harbour as I have
described with scores of trim, tidy yachts, all riding
head to wind, their ensigns and private signals flutter-
ing from the truck to the taffrail. Nor will it be
more difficult to imagine a squadron of light and
heavy steamers, similarly decorated, swinging to their
anchors in the outer part of the port. Intersperse
the latter with crowded steam-tugs and small
coasting vessels, and fill up almost every interstice
with private wherries and quick pulling man-of-war's
boats, and anybody who completes the process will
have a very good idea of Kingstown Harbour as it
yesterday appeared at the disembarkation of her Ma-
jesty. One word more. The wharfs round the jetty
must be imagined crowded with spectators, built over
with scarlet-covered platforms, and glittering with
the bright summer dresses of the Kingstown ladies.
Here and there the uniform of a military or naval
officer glanced conspicuously forth from under the
flag-wreathed canopy which stretched to the railway
station from the water's edge, while serried lines of
bayonets show the position of the detachments of
troops requisite for the sake or ceremony rather than
for that of preserving order.
Having thus endeavoured to describe the general
aspect of things as they struck my own eye, I shall
shortly and succinctly detail the more strictly per-
sonal and official portion of the proceedings.
The party of visitors who went on board immedi-
ately upon the yacht coming alongside the jetty con-
sisted, as I am informed, of the following persons :
The Lord-Lieutenant and the Countess of Clarendon,

I have already transmitted to you the names of the
group whom I observed surrounding her Majesty on
the quarter-deck of the yacht.
On the appearance of the royal children on deck,
there was a general cheer raised by the gratified
spectators on shore.
A deputation, representing the county of Dublin,
then came on board, and presented a loyal address to
her Majesty. It may be worth while to state that the
deputation consisted of the following gentlemen :
The Earl of Charlemont, Viscount Brabazon, Earl of
Howth, Viscount St. Lawrence, Viscount Monck,
Hon. St. John Butler, Hon. E. Preston, Sir Robert
Shaw, Sir Edward Kennedy, Baron de Roebeck, J.
Hans Hamilton, M.P., Lieut.-Colonel Edward Taylor,
M.P., Hans H. Woods, Charles Cobbs, jun., Captain
C. Domville, John Barlow, Colonel Latouche, Chris-
topher Fitzsimon, A. B. Crofton, John Lantaigne,
Lieut.-Colonel Shaw, John Ennis, High Sheriff, and
William Lewis, jun., Sub-Sheriff.
The Lord-Lieutenant and his lady preceded her
Majesty on shore. The Queen leant upon Prince
Albert, and the royal children followed.
The ladies and gentlemen composing the suite then
traversed the crimson-covered gangway to the shore.
The royal party walked slowly to the terminus,
bowing in acknowledgment of the hearty enthusiasm
which was everywhere displayed around them, while
the cannon, thundering from the men-of-war
steamers, the pier, and the Pigeonliouse Fort,
echoed back the greeting which rung from the
crowded quays.
Ere the smoke of the firing had drifted from the
smooth water of Kingstown Harbour the royal train
was in rapid motion towards the metropolis—its
progress everywhere marked by the fluttering flags
displayed on lawn and garden, from chimney and
housetop—while the spectators who thronged the
raised sideways of the railway waved hats and hand-
kerchiefs right loyally.
The detailed account of her Majesty's progress
from the station at which she left the railway to the
Viceregal Lodge will be found below. I can only
pretend to give a cursory view of the procession as I
caught a glimpse of it in Nassau-street, after having
by dint of very strenuous exertions squeezed myself
into the Kingstown terminus through a crowd which
crushed one much flatter than was at all agreeable,
and which put me strongly in mind of half a. dozen
Jenny Lind nights at the opera pit door rolled into one.
What I want to convey is a coup dell of the
cortex e. Fancy, then, a handsome brick-built street,
with houses of faur and five stories in height. The
shops are all shut, and before many of them are
erected stages, platforms, and pavilions of every
imaginable siza and shape, agreeing in the single
point of their being one and all crowded with gaily-
dressed company. Now, people the windows on
either side with groups of anxious spectators. Ima-
gine banners, flags, and laurel and bay-wreathed
poles, projecting everywhere over the crowded tho-
roughfare. Next, fancy the swarming pavements
lined with the glancing arms and brilliant accoutre-
ments of long rows of military, the people behind
them crowded together in confused dusky vistas.
Now then, the procession ie advancing. You hear
a confused murmur swelling now and then into

a loud shout of acclamation. All eyes are at once
turned in a similar direction. A movement—as
though of moral electricity—passes along the waver-
ing, rushing crowd.
" Here she is! Here she is ! Off hats ! Off
hats !"

A squadron of Lancers troop by—two or three
coaches filled by the civic authorities follow—then,
the centre of a rushing crowd, the cynosure of all
eyes, the moving point of attraction to the cheering
and heaving throng, comes the royal carriage, con-
taining the Queen, Prince Albert, the Prince of
Wales and the Princess Royal. Instantly all hats
are off, all kerchiefs are waving. The Queen grace
fully bows her acknowledgments of her subjects'
homage, and the royal pageant fades away in a
moment. People hardly notice the long train of
carriages which follow filled with the magnates of
the land—the trampling procession of horsemen, gay
with their bright blue scarfs—the troop 3 of marching
citizens and freemen. and the fur extending escort of
light horse. Indeed, the excitement has been so
great, so absorbing, that it is not until the first blush
of enthusiasm has died away that the spectator be-
comes aware of the clang and clash of the numerous
bands performing " God save the Queen."
So much for the general characteristics of the pro-
cession. Before introducing the more detailed ac-
count I have but one word to say.

The cheering along the streets was not uproarious,
yet it was hearty, earnest, and universal. There was
much curiosity as well as much enthusiasm felt by
the spectators. Men waved their hats and ladies
their handkerchiefs, while their eyes devoured the
royal cortege passing before them. There was, there-
fore, not so much noise as there was a universal ap-
pearance of hearty and deep-felt devotion, and re-
spectful and natural curiosity. Awl not only the ex-
istence of these last feelings, but their universality
and their depth were very striking, and will no
doubt be appreciated in the quarters in respect to
which they were displayed.
The evening is now darkening into night, and I
shall speedily be sallying forth to witness the illu-
minations. In the meantime I continue the thread
of the narrative by subjoining the promised detail of
the royal procession through the Dublin streets.
ARRIVAL OF HIM MAJESTY AT SANDY-

MOUNT.
From an early hour this morning the district lying
between Sandymount and Balls-bridge exhibited an
un wonted scene of animation. This usually quiet and
deserted suburb was thronged with crowds of per-
sons, who occupied every attainable position on
bank or wall, to catch a glimpse of her Majesty and
Royal Consort in their progress towards the metro-
polis. Other more fortunate persons procured seats
on the platforms erected along the line of route, and
thus were enabled to obtain a more distinct view of
the royal carriage and its occupants. The most elabo-
rate preparations were made for the reception of the
Queen at the terminus at Sandymount. A platform
covered with scarlet cloth, with an awning overhead,
surmounted by the royal flag and a number of small
streamers, formed a passage from the train to the
place where the royal carriages awaited her Majesty's
arrival. From the terminus at Sandymount there
runs a narrow bye road, named Sandymount-avenue,
to the principal thoroughfare leading to the city, and
this road was lined at either side by a guard of
honour, composed of parties of the 17th Lancers, En-
niskillen Dragoons, and Carabineers. Amongst the
persons who were in attendance on her Majesty at
this point we noticed Prince George of Cambridge,
the Marquis of Londonderry, the Earl of Charle-
mont, Lord St. Lawrence, Lord Monck, Sir R.
Shaw, Mr. C. Fitzsimon, Captain Taylor, M.P.,
Major-General A.l'Donald, besides a whole host of
staff and other officers. At ten o'clock a gun was
heard in the direction of Kingstown, the signal for
her Majesty's departure. Another gun was soon
afterwards beards from the Pigeon-house Fort,
the cavalry trumpet sounded to horse, and scarcely
were the troopers in their saddles when the royal
train dashed up to the terminus. The trumpet again
sounded as her Majesty entered the royal carriage,
the Lancers gave the salute with their -.lances, and
the heavy dragoons went through the same ceremony
with their swords, a procession was formed, and the
royal cortege moved on amidst the shouts of the
spectators. Her Majesty occupied an open carriage,
and with her were Prince Albert, the Prince of
Wales, and the Princess Royal. In the next carriage
were the ladies in waiting and two of the royal
children, and a third carriage was occupied by the
Earl of Clarendon, Earl Fortescue, and Sir George
Grey. On reaching the main road, leading towards
Balls-bridge, her Majesty was received by a large
body of horsemen belonging to the county of Dublin,
and the procession then assumed the following form :
—Escort of Dragoons—Queen's carriages—Escort,
county horsemen—the High Sheriff's carriage—the
carriages of the county deputation, who presented an
address to her Majesty—the county carriages. In
this order, and attended besides by thousands of
pedestrians, the procession proceeded to Balls-bridge,
passing within view of the Dublin mountains, and
the far-famed green of Donnybrook. The proces-
sion crossed Balls-bridge. Her Majesty passed
into Upper Baggot-street, under a triumphal arch
decorated with flags, and surmounted by the im-
perial crown.
ENTRANCE OF THE QUEEN INTO
DUBLIN.

The procession, having passed along Upper Bag-
got-street, crossed Baggot-street Bridge, and ap-
proached the city bounds. At this place a tempo-
rary structure, representing the city gates, decked
with green boughs and ornamented with flags and
shamrocks, was erected. On her Majesty's arrival at
this gate the procession halted, the gates were thrown
open, and there issued forth the Right Honourable
the Lord Mayor, in his robes of office, attended by
the City Marshal and other corporate officers, and
followed by the Right Hon. the Recorder and the
members of the Corporation in their civic robes. His
Lordship bore in his hands on a silver salver, a bunch
of rusty keys, the ancient guardians of the city's
safety, around which were entwined gay ribbons of
blue and white. Those keys, his Lordship, on
bended knee, presented to the Sovereign, by whom

and loyal city of Dublin, I have, on the part of my
fellow-citizens, most humbly and respectfully tof

arrival in this city. I beg respectfully to deliver the
keys of the city to your Majesty, and would pray
your Majesty's kind permission to conduct
you through the city." Her Majesty, in
reply, expressed her delight at arriving in Dublin,
and, as already stated, returned the keys to the
Lord Mayor. This ceremony performed, and the
Recorder and members of the Corporation having in
succession paid their respects to the Royal visitor,
her Majesty entered the city of Dublin. Then the
city procession was formed, and onwards they moved
in the following order:—An escort of Hussars,
the High Sheriff, the Recorder, the Lord Mayor, the
Queen, the city representatives, the members of the
Corporation, and several hundreds of equestrians,
some with blue, some with crimson sashes. In this
order the procession passed through Lower Baggot-
street, Lower Fitz willian-street, Merrion- square East,
Merrion-square North, Clare-street, Leins ter-street,
Nassau-street, Grafton-street, through College.green
to Westmoreland-street, over Carlisle-bridge, up
Sackville-street, Cavendish-row, Rutland squlre,
Gardener's-row, Great Denmark street, Upper
Temple-street, Hark wicke-place, Eccles-street North,
Circular-road, through the Park to the Viceregal
Lodge. The scene along the line of route was
most impressive ; every window of every house
to the roof tops was crowded with spectators, who
waved banners and handkerchiefs in welcome ;
even some house-tops were occupied, and triumphal
arches and flags studded the thoroughfares. Such
was the scene which Dublin presented on this occa-
sion ; and when we include in the picture the bril-
liant appearance of the military, their varied
uniforms—the glistening helmet of the heavy
Dragoon, the picturesque cap of the Lancer, and the
fur head-dress of the Hussar, with the scarlet bag
pendent from the top —the tout ensemble was perfect.
At the College, the Bank, and Nelson Pillar, the
royal flag and numbers of smaller flags were displayed.
The troops of the garrison occupied the streets along
the line of route, and the band of each regiment
struck up in succession " eloquent music" as the royal
cortege moved along. The streets were crowded, and
though there was little shouting there was much
fervour in the manner of the people. They really
appeared to be glad to see the Queen, though they
did not say much about it.
ARRIVAL OF THE QUEEN AT THE VICE--

REGAL LODGE.
About twelve o'clock her Majesty arrived at the
Viceregal Lodge. She was in high spirits, and
repeatedly expressed herself much gratified at the
manner in which she has been received by her Irish
subjects. For this fact we have the most undoubted
authority. The Lord-Lieutenant was equally profuse
in his expressions of satisfaction.
The entire proceedings passed off in the most
satisfactory manner, although at one time, owing to

some mistake in the arrangements, a slight alterca-
tion took place between some of the people and, the
police. It appears that when the procession arrived
at the Circular road, leading to the Park, the police
refused to permit several members of the corporation
to pass along on the ground—that a certain portion
only of the procession was to proceed with her
Majesty to the Phcenix Park. The excluded parties
protested against this arrangement, and the by-
standers joined in their expmssions of discontent, but
at this moment Mr. Reynolds, M.P., hurried to the
spot, and by his well-timed interposition put an end
to the altercation.

S AND YMOUNT AVENUE.
At the portion of this avenue where the railway
crosses it a spacious platform was erected for her
Majesty to cross over to her carriage. The platform,
which extended a considerable way along the rail-
road, was covered with scarlet cloth, and was ascended
from the road by three steps, covered with the same
material. A raised floor, also covered with scarlet
cloth, was constructed from the platform for some
distance along the side of the avenue, by which her
Majesty approached her carriage; and a tastefully
executed awning overhung the length of the flooring.
At the end of it, and on the side the royal
carriage was stationed, was another extensive platform,
which was occupied by a number of ladies and
gentlemen, who, no doubt, considered themselves
fortunate in having secured places from which they
could have so good a view of the royal party as it
came up.
At the other side of the railway there were other
platforms, crowded with spectators, and there were
also several carriages, the whole, as well as the hedge
rows in the neighbourhood, being profusely decorated
with festoons of evergreens and flowers, and inter-
spersed with well-selected and appropriate mottoes.
The whole scene, at this point, was most enlivening,
and everything was done to give her Majesty a cor-
dial and respectful welcome. Shortly before nine
o'clock a troop of the 17th Lancers, commanded by
Captain Brett, a troop of the Enniskillen Dragoons,
under the command of Captain Shorte, and a troop
of the Bth Hussars, commanded by Captain Bigmore
—the whole under the command of Major Burdett,
of the 17th Lancers—all those officers being the
senior of their respective ranks in their regiments,
took up their position in the avenue, which they lined
at either side, from the railway to the Rock•road. A
party of the metropolitan police were also stationed at
the end of the avenue, at the railway, under the com-
mand of Inspector Finnemore, and other bodies of the
force were stationed along the line of route towards
Baggot-street Bridge. At half-past nine o'clock the
royal carriages arrived, each drawn by four horses,
with outriders and footmen in the royal liveries. The
vehicle intended for her Majesty drew up at the raised
passage from the railway, and the other carriages
were drawn to the other side, through an opening made
in the platform for that purpose. A number of her
Majesty's servants, in scarlet liveries, and mounted,
accompanied the carriages. The persons in the em-
ployment of the railway company, who were about
the platform, wore white ribbons and rosettes
in their breasts ; and some gentlemen belonging to
the county, who were present, were distinguished by
blue scarfs and ribbons. The engines of the trains '
that passed along the line during the morning were
profusely decked with evergreens and flowers; and
those which passed immediately before that contain-
ing the royal party, were densely crowded by persons
anxious to be in town before
.the procession reached.
At about ten minutes before ten o'clock a special
train, which it was arranged should be dispatched
immediately preceding that by which her Majesty
travelled, arrived at the avenue, and it was an-
nounced that she would arrive in a few minutes. The
Earl of Erne, the Baron de Roebeck, Mr. Ennis, High
Sheriff of the county, Mr. James Hans Hamilton,
and several other gentlemen, who had been at Kings-
town to receive her Majesty, and present an address,
arrived by this train, being desirous to join the county
procession. The arrival of her Majesty being mo-
mentarily expected, the utmost anxiety was mani-
fested to catch the first glimpse of the train, and
receive her Majesty as became her. In the meantime
Colonel Maunsell, quartermaster-general, and several
other superior °freers, arrived at the royal platform,
to see that all proper arrangements were made. The
discharges of the cannon at Kingstown were now
now plainly heard, announcing the landing of the
royal party, and at shortly after half-past ten the
anxiously looked-for train appeared in sight. Loud
and enthusiastic cheers, accompanied with waving of
handkerchiefs and other demonstrations of respect,
heralded the arrival of her Majesty, and when the
train stopped at the platform, those manifestations of
feeling were renewed again and again, and were
continued after her Majesty was recognised. The state
carriage having Leeo drawn close to the platform, her
Majesty was handed out by Prince Albert; they were
accompanied by the Prince of Wales and the Princess
Royal, Lady Jocelyn following with the other royal
children. On her Majesty, her Royal Consort, and
children making their appearance, they were received
with warm and repeated cheers, which her Majesty
and Prince Albert acknowledged with much grace
and cordiality. There were comparatively but few
persons on the platform at the time, as the arrival
took place sooner than was expected ; or persons were
probably under the impression that they would not
be permitted to occupy places at or around that par-
ticular locality. Her Majesty was handed to her
carriage by Prince Albert, who took a seat beside
her, the Prince of Wales and Princess Royal being
seated in front. The next carriage was occupied by
Lady Jocelyn, another lady, and the other royal
children ; then followed a carriage with Lady For-
tescue and Sir George Grey ; and another, in which
were the Lord Lieutenant and the Marchioness of
Lansdowne. A fifth carriage contained some persons
belonging to the royal suite. The carriage in which
her Majesty and Prince Albert were seated was an
open one, and while it remained during the comple-
tion of the arrangements for departure, they repeatedly
acknowledged the cheering and ether manifestations
of loyalty and respect from those present, and seemed
to be much pleased at the reception they met.
The chairman, deputy-chairman, treasurer, and all
the members of the board of directors of the Kings-
town Railway came up in the train with the royal
party, and after it set out most of them proceeded on
to the city.
All the preparations being complete, the royal cor-
tege set out. It was preceded by her Majesty's
servants in livery and the troop of Hussars, and
followed by the other portion of the guard of honour.
THE ROCK-ROAD, PEMBROKE -ROAD, Sze.
A number of the houses from the end of Sandy-
mount Avenue were decked with flags, evergreens,i
and flowers, and the sides of the road were lined
county gentlemen on horseback,, the Royal cortege
paing • ' between the two lines. The High Sheriffs
carriage, the carriages of the county deputation who
presented the address, and the carriages of a great
number of other gentlemen of the county followed.
The procession proceeded in this order through the
Rock-road, Pembroke-road, and Upper Baggot-street,
to Baggot-street Bridge, where the city procession
took the lead, after the royal escort and carriages.
A great number _of houses along this line were
most tastefully and profusely decorated with flowers,
evergreens, flags, and banners. At Mr. Turner's
(Hammersmith Works) there was an elegant tri-
umphal arch, covered with evergreens, festooned with
flowers, and surmounted by a banner with the royal
arms and the royal initials. It was stated to be the
model of an arch erected at Kew, from a design by
Mr. Turner, and the letters K E W were suspended
from the centre. The numerous platforms erected
along the route, the balconies of the houses, the win-
dows, and, in short, every available spot, were covered
with elegantly-dressed ladies and gentlemen, who
greeted the royal party with loud cheers, waving of
handkerchiefs, hats, and in every other possible way
testified their respect and loyal attachment, for which
her Majesty and her Royal Consort frequently
bowed their acknowledgments.

with roses and floral wreaths, and surmounted by an
immense shamrock branch. Over this stood an
architrave, ornamented with artificial flowers and
laurels, supporting the royal arms, with the arms of
the city on either side. The whole was capped by an
imperial crown of beautiful workmanship, ten feet in
diameter, with the usual national emblems—the
shamrock, rose, and thistle. The inscription on the
face of the arch was the old Irish words of welcome,
