On alighting at the station the Queen was re-
ceived by Sheriff Gordon, the Lord Provost, and
Lord Melville, Commander-in Chief of the forces
in Scotland. The entrance to the station was by
a finely decorated archway leading to a flight of
steps, covered with tartan and crimson cloth, the
hall being tastefully ornamented with flowers.
The train loft at a quarter to 8 o'clock, Mr. Sey-
mour Clarke having carefully aF.cert.a.ined that all
aUllied the Wednesday
the details were perfect. The only addition to the
Royal party was Sir George Grey, who took the

train to Berwick-ou-Tweed, together with Mr.
Hodgson, of Carham (the Chairman), Mr. Sprot,
of Riddel (the Vice-Chairman), and Mr. Horne,
Mr. Cheyne, Mr. Barn, Mr. Bowman, directors ;
Nr. Nairne, secretary ; and Mr. Itowbotham and
Mr. Bell, of the North British Railway.
In passing through the Lothians the appearance
of the fields contrasted very strongly with that
presented by the country through which the Royal
train passed yesterday. Here, over a run of 50
miles scarcely a sheaf of corn was to be seen out-
standing, while the crowded corn-yards afforded
pleasing evidence that the farmers had gathered
in a most- abundant- harvest. In Wirtt Lothian
and to the north of Edinburgh little more than
half the crop has been isecured, and it was very
distressing to see whole fields covered with stooks,
the blackened appearance of which showed but too
clearly the damage they had sustained.

The train arrived at Berwick at 19.15, and
stopped for five minutes for change of engines.
The mayor and corporation of Berwick were pre-
sent, and a guard of honour of the 91st, under
the command of Colonel Gordon. A goodly num-
ber of inhabitants were also present, who loudly
cheered her Majesty as she was crossing the
border.

Alderman Leernan, of York, the deputy chair-
man of the North-Eastern Railway, Alderman,
Maclean, of Leeds • Alderman Hodgson, of New-
castle; Alderman kartley, of Sunderland ; Capt.
O'Brien, Mr. T. E. Harrison, Mr. J. Bourne, and
Mr. A. Christison, directors and officials, accom-
panied the train.
The fields around Berwick, and for 10 miles on
either side of it, are not very clear, but the oats
exposed are of good colour. Further southward
the aspect of the country again improves, corn-
yards bulking very large, and suggesting some de-
ficiency in the system of cutting and gathering in
the crops in those districts where they are still
exposed, and where soil, climate, and farming are
equal to the husbandry of the Lothians.
At Bilton, where there was a change of engines,
and which is contiguous to Earl Grey's property,
the Earl attended, and conversed with her Majesty
and the Prince. In this part of Northumberland
there is a good deal of oats in the field, but the
wheat crop is nearly all secured.
The train arrived in Newcastle at 11.3, being a
few minutes late, owing to the slippery state of the
rails in the mineral districts. The Mayor and other
officials were present, and a very large assemblage of
people were within the fine station. A fresh engine
was here put ou, and the lost timo was gradually
made up.
At Darlington there was a change of engines.
The station was crowded with people. The train
hit Darlington at 12.8, and reached York at 1.10.
,The weather had now undprL one a very unfa.you-r-
-able change, the temperature having fallen, and
cold,-drizzling rain, with heavy showers, prevailing.
Her Majesty's reception at York was of the usual
splendid character. The platform was covered with
Brussels carpeting all the way to the Royal Saloon,
where the Queen was to have luncheon. The 98th
Regiment was drawn up in line, the band playing
the national anthem. Her Majesty was received by
the Lord Mayor (Meek), General Sir Harry Smith,
the High Sheriff and the Depnty-Sheriff, Colonel
M`Pherson, Major Aansink, the Dean of Ripon, Mr.
Beckett Denison (chairman)' and Mr. Alderman
Meek (director) of the Great Northern Railway.
The Lady Mayoress and a grand display of com-
pany were within the station.

A 2;',
.;terday evening her Majesty, Prince/AWert,
the Princess Royal, the Princess Alice, Lind the
rest of the Royal fam,ily, with the exception of the
Prince of Wales, arrived at Windsor, on their re-
turn from Balt oral,. after an absence:of exactly
seven weeks. His Royal Highness the Piince.of
Wales left Osborne yesterday morning, and tra-
velled by special train from Gosport to Windsor to
join her Majesty and the Prince Consort.
Yesterday morning the Queen left the Palace of
Holyrood, Edinburgh, at half-past 7 o'c!ock-. Her
Majesty drove down the Park to St. Margaret's
station of the North British Railway in an open
carriage, accompanied by an escort of the sth
goon Guards. The Queen's drive was lined by the
34th Regiment, under the command of Colonel
Kelly, the Royal Artillery having a battery in the
Park, which fired a Royal salute as her Majesty
passed along, amid the.cheers of a large concourse
of spectators. The weather, which had been
showery early in the morning, now cleared up and
.became very fine.

The train left York at 1.40, accompanied by Mr.
Denison and Mr. Meek. The first stoppage was
at Doncaster, where a fresh engine was put ou. The
station was splendidly decorated and completely
filled with spectators. The Mayor and Aldermen
were present, and Lady Mary Wood, with whom
her Majesty shook hands. The weather had now
improved, and every possible point of observation
was occupied by the people as the train passed. The
Retford• station was reached at 3 o'clock, being cor-
rect time, which was now kept without the slightest
variation. At this station 21 fog signals were
passed over by the engine, in imitation, we suppose,
of a Royal salute, while the people cheered the
Queen very heartily.
At Grantham there was a display of flowers and
evergreens, with monograms and sentiments in
scrollwork and various devices in flowers. The
band of the Lincolnshire Militia played during
tLe few minutes the engine was getting water.
At Peterborough, where the train arrived at 4.26
and had a fresh engine, there was a grand display.
The station was decorated with flags and flowers.
The Earl of Westmoreland was present, and the
Lord Bishop and his clergy were on the platform,

station, Maiden-lane, London, at 6.25, five minutes
before the time in the bill, the arrangements
throughout, over a distance of 586 miles, having
, been of the most satisfactory character.
The object of drawing up the train at the goods
station, instead of the ordinary terminus at King's-
cross, was to enable her Majesty to pass at once on
to the North London Railway, and so proceed
direct to Windsor without the necessity, as here-
tofore, of an inconvenient break in the journey be-
tween the stations of King's-cross and Paddington.
This is a new arrangement, and was tried on this
occasion for the first time. Mr. Mowatt, the secre-
tary of the Great Northern Company, and others
of the officials were in attendance at the goods
station at King's-cross on the arrival of the train.
A few other persons were also present, and the
number would probably have been greatly aug-
mented but for the means of access to the place
being little known to the public, and the circum-
stance of her Majesty arriving after dark. A de-
tention of about ten minutes, consequent upon a
changeof engine and of the line of railway, occurred,
and during part of the interval her Majesty and
the Prince Consort appeared'at the window of their
saloon and conversed with Sir George Grey and
Mr. Beckett Denison. They were accompanied
by the Princess Royal and the Princess Alice.
Sir George Grey and Mr. Beckett Denison took
leave of her Majesty at the terminus at King's-
cross, and, the necessary arrangements being
completed, the Royal travellers, amid an enthusi-
astic cheer from the people in the station, continued
their journey to Windsor, which they reached at
a quarter to 8 o'clock.
