various erections intended fo - Ice to .4 ... 4,
' : .. ' • that of the different civic bod'
-blic. We had, at the date-4 ' V..
)ts, from the extent of these arf IN! •. - .nd
the comparatively slow rate at which they - •Airpro-
gressing, that they would scarcely be completed in
sufficient time ; they have since then, however, bean
pushed forward with more vigour; and last evening
the reception pavilion, the triumphal arch, and the
various galleries for the spectators were all but
finished.

The decorations of the royal arch are conceived
in the purest taste, and their execution is equal
to the design. The structure, which is of the
Doric order, is peculiarly chaste. The arch itself
is of the Roman shape, and corresponds with
those of the pavilion. It is supported by massive
butresses, somewhat broader at the base than at the
springing of the curve. On the faces of these are four
panels, intended to be embellished, in gilt characters,
ith the cyphers of her Majesty and her Royal Con-
sort. Up to the cornice the fabric will have a close
resemblance to a beautiful veined Sicilian marble, of
a pea- grcea shade. The fri€ ze and entablature are
painted to imitate the purest architectural marble.
The whole will be surmounted by appropriate flags.
The royal standard, St. George's cross, and union
jack, will be unfurled from a staff erected on the
p2.rapat facing towards the river ; en the opposite
side will float a banner bearing the Belfast arms, and
also some other flags. The St. George's cross was
displayed from the building yesterday, signifying that
her Majesty is at present in Ireland. The arch
somewhat resembles the centre of Temple bar,
London. It is a fitting substitute for the gates of a
town which possesses none. Here the ceremony of
presenting her Majesty with the civic keys will take
place.

The pavilion will be in keeping with the other erec-
tion in exterior appearance; the interior, however,
will be fitted up in a style of suitable magnificence.
Here her Majesty will be met by the civic bodies and
other privileged persons, if she do not prefer receiving
them aboard the royal tender or yacht. It is not yet
known whether the various addresses (which will
not be read) will be presented on beard the yacht, in
the pavilion, or in the hall of Queen's College. Oa
the floor of the pavilion, and on the space between it
and the river side, carpeting will be laid down. It
is said that the entire interval
_between the pavilion
and the arch, about 300 yards, will also be carpeted.
The front of the old Custom-house' which, by the
way, has received a coat of paint for the first time
since it reared its humble walls on the bank of the
Town dock, is being charitably concealed behind
a lofty gallery, intended for the friends of the town-
council.

In front of the Harbour- office accommodation has
been secured for the friends of the commissioners on
a platform there. The two great galleries at Victo-
ria-street are completely covered with white, blue,
pink, and yellow cotton cloth, arranged in alternate
perpendicular stripes at the hick. If fully occu-
pied, the sum realised for seats, at ss. each, will be
1,1431. 15s.
The Harbour Commissioners have all their arrange-
ments nearly perfected. The Queen's Island, where
fireworks, bonfires, batteries, &c., will be called into
requisition, will be thrown open to the public at a
very moderate charge; an opportunity of witnessing
the royal progress up the bay, of which, we are sure,
many hundreds will avail themselves. One-half of
the artillery from Charlement will be stationed on
the island—the rest, with their guns, on Queen's-
quay, opposite to the landing place.
The Linen Hall is being rapidly put in order for
the royal reception ; and we learn that the specimens
of flax manufactures to be exhibited are likely to be
very numerous and beautiful. Of damasks, especially,
several of the most magnificent productions of the
Belfast loom are in preparation. Mr. Coulson, of
Lisburn, the oldest manufacturer in the kingdom, has
proceeded to Dublin to exhibit a beautiful piece of
damask to her Majesty and her Royal Consort.
Mr. Robert Henderson, with his usual spirit, in-
tends to place as many as possible of his splendid fleet
of steamers at the service of the public, for an excur-
sion-down the Lough on the day of her Majesty's
arrival. We hope that, should her Majesty visit the
Giant's Causeway—which is probable, as it would
not be far out of her way on her passage to Scotland
—these vessels will be allowed to follow the royal
squadron.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO GLASGOW.
(From the Glasgow Daily Mail.)

The enthusiasm evoked by the first announcement
of her Majesty's intention to visit Glasgow continues
to be well sustained. Instead of abating, it seems to
grow in fervour as we near the period when the
auspicious event is to occur. That event forms now
the all engrossing theme of discourse amoryst our
•., Nell* ba“*.au. WC IL In Ho
Preparations for its proper celebration have been
clinmenced in earnest, and go briskly forward.
The erection of the triumphal arch at the
eastern end of the Broomielaw Bridge has
been begun. The design is very tasteful and
magnificent, and the completion of the structure will
take no long time for its accomplishment. Great
activity is manifest there as well as at the works
which are in progress on the south end of the quay.
At the latter place, the formation of the contemplated
" barricades" is proceeding. It will be observed that
Mr. M'Ara, at the municipal police committee, ex-
pressed his strong aversion to the name ; and several
parties, who seemed possessed with a mistaken notion
regarding the objects they are intended to promote,
have vented to us their complaints against the thing.
Both parties arelwe think, in error. The name is
nothing ; but the contrivance we esteem a good one,
and feel assured it will be found of much utility. It
will be noticed in our report of that meeting, also,
that the Lord Provost, in answer to a question put to
him, communicated some interesting information as
to the projected route through the city. Of course,
an uncertainty which, as was explained, is felt re-
garding the station to which her Majesty will repair
on her departure, prevents us from ascertaining that
the line of progress sketched by his Lordship is
" fixed ;" but we think there is every probability it
will be held by, and we are sure our readers will
coincide with us when we pronounce it vastly prefer-
able to the one formerly proposed. The arrangement
by which the entire conduct of the preparations
has been confided to the magistracy is a good
and wise one. We are sure our civic rulers will
worthily employ the powers entrusted to them,
and are certain that they will devise such
regulations, as that, while in the display on
the occasion, her Majesty will have proper and due
respect shown her, the credit of the city will be main-
tained, the loyalty of the citizens gratified, and their
safety provided for. All we feel concerned about is,
that they should be matured and promulgated early.
Her Majesty's movements are gone about with cele-
rity. That fact has been established on her former
tours as well as on the present occasion. It would be
wise, therefore, to guard against the possibility of
surprise. It is by no means unlikely that the rumou.
it rs
current as to the time of the arrival in the Clyde
ll
be falsified by the result. Prince Albert, is
is well
know, is a keen sportsman. Why should he
if not be in
the Highlands on the 12th ? Thig quite practi-
cable; and what it should be thought of and car-
ried out?
