ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY.

We are happy to announce the safe arrival of her Majesty
in this country, which, according to anticipation, took place at
an early hour yesterday afternoon. This event caused no in-
considerable excitement along the river. Though the cere-
monials attendant on it were not of that extensive character
which marked her departure, they were still such as could not
fail to be highly grateful to her Majesty's feelings, as they
were assuredly honourable to the manliness and generosity of
the English character.
The Lord Mayor, with nis usual spirit, had made every
preparation to act his part as became the first officer of the
great city of London. A number of his fellow-citizens were
invited to join him on board the Magnet steam-boat at six
o'clock yesterday morning—their wives and daughters gracing
the happy party. The band of the 3d Fusileer Guards was
also in attendance, and greatly added to the enjoyment of the
day by their splendid execution of several airs. Soon after
being under weigh, a most costly breakfast was served, and_
indeed everything was done which could contribute to the
happiness of his guests and maintain the well-known hos-
pitable character of the Lord Mayor. His Lordship, at half-
past eleven, met the royal squadron at Sheerness, and, after
saluting, passed it, and re-passing it on the other side, led the
way—at once showing respect to the Queen and maintaining
his own official right as Conservator of the Thames. The
Magnet, it should be observed, had been decorated in the most
splendid style, and presented a most gay and happy appear-
ance. A Government steamer followed next, having in tow
the Royal George, which was followed by another steamer,
that might be put in requisition in case of accident. Ap-
proaching -within two or three miles of Gravesend, the royal
party was joined by other steamers, which had left London at a
later hour than the Lord Mayor. These and other vessels which
now almost momentarily joined, greatly increased the effect of
the positions which they took up. In this order they reached.
Gravesend, where the scene became of the most animating cha-
racter. The royal vessel lay to for a few minutes, during
which the steamers—not few in number—gave way a little,
thus permitting the numberless boats which glided over
the water to pass close under the yacht. The cannon of
'Tilbury Fort then pealed forth their noisy welcome—the
myriads on the Kentish side replied to each discharge with
loud and hearty huzzas--and those upon the water echoed
again and again the joyous note. The Royal George and
several other vessels manned their yards, and an universal
shout of " God bless the King and Queen 1" rent the air.
Her Majesty, attended uncovered by Lord Adolphus Fitz-
clarence, turned from side to side, and with no common
warmth of manner acknowledged these affectionate tributes.
The Lord Mayor's vessel now slowly proceeded in her course,
the steamer and Royal George followed. The Royal Sove-
reign and Albion steamers, crowded with delighted passengers,
were permitted to come close on each side of the yacht,—close
in the wake followed many others, besides craft of all kinds and
dimensions,—and thus was passed the town of Gravesend. One
of the most picturesque sights of the whole trip now offered
itself. The coast between Gravesend and Northfleet is well
known to be of a hilly and romantic character. All the
commanding points were crowded by elegantly dressed fe-
males, and though there was no welcome by voices loud
and deep, the waving of scarfs and hankerchiefs showed
strongly the enthusiasm which prevailed. The vessels again
tarried for a few moments in their onward course, that their
occupants might contemplate this splendid picture, heightened
