RETURN OF HER MAJESTY.

ABERDEEN, FRIDAY.
Her Majesty did not sail from Aberdeen Harbour
at the intended hour (2 A.M.) this morning. A driz
zling rain, attended by a thick mist, added to the
heavy sea without, induced her Majesty to change
her intention of going by sea to London, and to adopt
the more agreeable mode of travelling by rail to the
metropolis.
At eignt o chick this morning the Lord Provost
went on board the Royal Victoria and Albert yacht
to learn the pleasure of the Queen, and after an inter-
view with the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, he was
informed that her Majesty's commands would be com-
municated to his Lordship at noon.
The !Lord Provost accordingly waited on the
Home Secretary at the appointed hour, when it was
intimated to his Lordship that her Majesty had de-
termined ,to abandon the sea voyage, owing to the
stormy weather, and would proceed at two o'clock, to
Perth, there to pass the night, and thence go by rail-
way direct to London.
No time was lost in making the necessary prepara-
tions for the relanding of her Majesty and the royal
retinue; and when it transpired that the royal party
was again to pass through the city, a vast concourse
of the inhabitants began to congregate in the tho-
roughfares through which the royal carriages were to
pass. It was raining fast at the time, but the showers
could not damp the loyal ardour of the populace, who
assembled in large numbers, so that the police,
assisted by a few " specials," or, as they are termed,
"Her Majesty's Honorary Guard," had some difficulty
in keeping open a passage for the royal equipages.
Between half-past one and two o'clock her Majesty,
attended by Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence,
landed from the Victoria and Albert Yacht, followed
by the Prince Consort and the youthful members of
the royal family, and at once entered the royal car-
riage, which was brought to the quay. Sir G. Grey,
the ountess of Gainsborough, Sir James Clark, and
the other passengers in the royal suite, occupied the
two other carriages. From the very disagreeable
state of the weather, the carriages were of course
closed, and her Majesty's anxious subjects who mus-
tered to obtain a parting glimpse of the illustrious
personages were doomed to disappointment. The
Lord Provost and the principal civic functionaries
were in attendance at the landing of the Queen and
royal party.
The cartese proceeded at a rapid ,pace along the
quay by-Marischal-street,Unfort-streer„,ind nolborn,
along the new road over the Bridge of Dee on the
Stonehaven road, and was soon out of sight en route to
Perth. Expresses had previously been dispatched from
Aberdeen to Perth to provide the necessary relays of
horses at the various stages, so that no inconvenience
might be experienced by the Royal party from any
delays on the road. It was calculated that her
Majesty would reach Perth by eight o'clock in the
evening.
It was understood to have been arranged that her
Majesty and the Prince Consort and Royal children
would sleep at the George Hotel that night, and, on
leaving that place, that they would travel by the Scot
tish Central Railway, the Caledonian, and the North
Western, to London.

PERTH, SATURDAY, Tax, A.M.—This ancient city
yesterday afternoon was thrown into the greatest
possible excitement by the unexpected news that the
Queen and Prince Albert, and their Royal children,
were to arrive that evening from Aberdeen, the con-
templated voyage along the north-east coast having
been given up owing to the continuance of tempes-
tuous weather.

At an early hour this morning the inhabitants
crowded to the railway station in order to obtain a
view, if possible, of the royal party, and the church
bells were set a ringing to testify the loyalty of the
citizens.
Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert
and the rest of the royal suite, arrived at the railway
terminus at an early hour this morning, and were
received by the Lord Provost, several of the local
authorities, and the principal officials of the railway,
and without the least obstruction or delay, departed
by a special train for Edinburgh, and thence via Car-
lisle and Lancaster to London. During the short
period her Majesty stayed she was welcomed with
every demonstration of regard by the people.
DER MAJESTY'S ARRIVAL IN LONDON.
Yesterday morning, at about ten minutes after ten
o'clock the Queen and Prince Albert and the royal
children arrived by a special train at the terminus
of the North-Western. Railway in Euston-square
from Crewe, where the royal party slept
on Saturday night at the Royal Hotel, the train
which brought her Majesty,from Edinburgh not
having proceeded further than that station on the line.
We understand the special train which brought her
Majesty and suite to town left Crewe soon after seven
o'clock, and only stopped When the engine required
to be supplied with water. ,
Mr. Stewart, the- -secretary, • Mr. Creed, Mr.
Brooks, and several: gestlemen connected with the
railway company, were in attendance to receive the
Queen and Prince Consort. From the admirable
facilities afforded by the management there was not
the slightest delay,- so that in a few minutes after the
arrival of the train her Majesty was on her way to
Buckingham Palace.
Her. Majesty and her illustrious Coniort appeared
to be in the enjoyment of excellent health and spirits,
and in nowise fatigued by the long
journey, which
extended oven a distance of more than five hundred
miles. .

THE ELEVEN OF ALL ENGLAND V. P

HAMPSHIRE.

From Essex the All England Eleven travelled to
Southampton, to play against the Hants men, at Day's
ground. On Thursday the weather was so adverse that
the play did not commence for several hours after time,
while the play on Friday began as late as three o'clock.
Saturday, however, proved more propitious, and at the
close of this exciting match, to which the shades of
evening put a period, the score stood Englund
p
first innings, 93; second ditto, 22. —l4arri shire first
innings, 53; second ditto, 44, with one wicket to go
down, and 17 runs to get. Hence it is a drawn match.

The fishermen of Caithness have had excellent suc-
cess at the haddock fishing since the tenni : L
nati.n of tn(
herring campaign. The wather has favoured them, and
some of the boats have bad wonderful hauls. One boat,
we leirn, had 900 at one catch.--Inverhess Courier.
