(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)

The drizzling rain which fell almost without inter-
mission the greater part of the morning, and by
" fits and starts" during the whole of the afternoon,
kept more than a dozen or two of idle people—reck-
less of the pelting of the pitiless storm—from the
terminus of the North-Western Railway, and within
its spacious limits, albeit they are extending over
ground where streets and foetid courts and alleys
once reared up their heads, the labourers pursued
their wonted tasks, the trains ran in and out with
their accustomed regularity. The platforms were no
busier than on ordinary days, except the presence of
a. few melancholy Lancers, who went away last night
at nine o'clock, and came again to-day, shortly before
three, "chewing the bitter cud of melancholy,"
for the wet had penetrated their clothing and
tarnished their accoutrements ; and their officer
the commander of the gallant band, stalking to and
fro. With the exception of one or two zealous re-
porters, and a roll of scarlet carpeting, the station
wore its wonted aspect. Had the meanest sub-
ject in the realm—Tom Thumb for instance
(and the " deformed, disgusting drawf," to use
the words of the Times, would have gathered
a crowd about him in the wettest day)—been
coming up [the line, the appeararce of the termi-
nus could not have been less imposing. Yesterday
there were a number of ladies in the comfortable
corners of the station ; to-day the lowering weather,
the drenching skin-wetting rain, kept all away,
and the Queen arrived in the greatest city in
her realm, if not in the world, without
being hunted down, stared out of countenance,
and disgusted, as she frequently has been, in
40. private journeys, by the over-zeal of the mob, in
its intense anxiety to stare her in the face. The
Queen hove in sight last night, on the shore of Fleet-
wood, before six o'clock. The weather was, in nau-
tical phrase, " hazy," but though the weather wore
an angry aspect—though it lowered, though the sea
rolled and dashed its breakers furiously on the mud
banks of Fleetwood—the announcement that the
Queen was in the offing brought thousands to the
beach and to the windows and balconies. The royal
squadron anchored within sight, and the outline of the
nautical pageant of the Queen was watched as eagerly
as ,tte formal pageants which wend their way from
Buckingham Palace to " the House" on Prorogation
days—in fact, as if it was about to pass through the
streets of Fleetwood, and the watchers did not go to
their heds unlil it was lost in the shadows of night.

At eight o'clock her Majesty and Prince Albert
proceeded into port. She was immediately met by
the authorities, who having presented her with a
suitable address, and the usual formalities having been
gone through, her Majesty proceeded to the station,
from which she started a few minutes after ten.

As the time for the arrival of her Majesty
drew nigh, but only a few minutes before
five o'clock, passengers who had come by
the trains, and others who were about to go,
made up their minds, of one accord, to see the Queen,
and there was quite a little crowd of resolute persons,
whom Mr. Baker, the obliging sergeant of the police,
found some difficulty in keeping at a respectful distance.
The train, and it was a well filled one, reached the
station shortly after half-past five o'clock, where she
was received by Mr. Glynn, M.P., and Mr. Creed.
The Queen, Prince Albert, and the royal children,
looked extremely well.

On landing at Fleetwood, the address of the town
was presented through Lord Palmerston, and she re-
turned a gracious reply.

Her Majesty was received by Captain Huish, Mr.
Holdsworth, Chairman of the Mancherter and Leeds,
Railway, the sheriffs of the county, and, though last
not least, the representatives of the county. The
train reached Rugby at twenty-three minutes after
three, and a powerful " Stephenson," No. 155, having
been attached to it, it proceeded, under the care of
of Mr. M'Connell, the locomotive superintendent of the
Company, and Mr. Bruyeres, the traffic superin-
tendent, to London. The Duke of Norfolk and Lord
Palmerston accompanied the Queen. The whole
journey was accomplished in seven hours and a
quarter, and the train did not stop between the
" half-way house," Wolverton, and the metropolis.
Mr. Glynn informed our reporter that Prince Al-
bert pronounced the journey along the Trent Valley
to be particularly smooth.
On leaving the station her Majesty was loudly
cheered by the crowd, which, on the an-
nouncement of her arrival they had received
great additions. Her Majesty proceeded to Bucking-
ham Palace, and will proceed, most likely to Osborne
House to-morrow. Thus terminated the delightful
tour to the Highlands.
