THE Q UEEN'S JOURNEY SOUTH.

EDINBURGH, SATURDAY EVENING.
The Queen, the Prince Consort, with the Princes
Arthur and Leopold, and the Princesses Alice,
Helena, and Louisa, arrived at Holyrood this even-
ing from Balmoral. The train was due at St.
Margaret's Station at 6.48, but it anticipated its
time by about six minutes. The Royal party were
received at the station by Mr. Sneriff Gordon,
General Cameron, Colonel Sir John Douglas, and
other officers of the North British staff and com-
manding officers in garrison ; Bailies Blackadder
and Forrester, in the absence of the Lord Provost ;
Messrs. Horne and Bowman, directors of the North
British Railway; and Mr. Blackburn, M.P., and
Mr. Logan White, directors of the Edinburgh and
Glasgow Railway, who accompanied the Royal train
from Larbert. The train consisted of the usual
series of saloon and first-class carriages, &c. On
alighting, her Majesty graciously bowed to the
magistrates and officers present, and the Prince
Consort cordially shook hands with Mr. Sheriff
Gordon. Although darknees was rapidly falling,
the Royal party entered a procession of open car-
riages to drive to Holyrood. The band of the
13th Light Dragoons and an escort of the regiment
were in waiting at the station. ' The route to Holy-
rood was lined by the 13th Light Dragoons, under
the command of Colonel Tremayne ; the Royal Ar-
tillery from Leith Fort, under Colonel Maclean ;
the 78th Highlanders, under Colonel Ewart ; the
Mid-Lothian Coast Volunteer Artillery, under
Lieut.-Colonel Sir James G. Baird; and the City
of Edinburgh Volunteer Artillery. Owing to the
absence from town of the commanding officers and
many of the members of the Edinburgh Rifle
Volunteers, neither battalion of that regiment
turned out. Of the two Artillery regiments there
was a fair muster, particularly of the Mid-Lothian.
There were several thousand spectators in the park.
At Holyrood the band and a guard of honour of
the 78th were stationed to receive her Majesty.
On the Queen's arrival at Holyrood the guard of
honour presented arms, the band played the Na-
tional Anthem, and, by signal, the guns of the
Castle fired a Royal salute. The members of her
Majesty's suite were Lady Churchill, the Hon.
Beatrice Byng, Sir Charles Wood, Secretary of
State for India ; Lord Charles Fitzroy, Sir C.
Phipps, the Hon. C. Grey, and Major Elphinstone.
The Royal family were in mourning for a maternal
aunt of the Queen, the late Princess Anne of Rus-
sia, At the Palace the Queen was received by
the Hon. Mr. Cowper, Chief Commissioner of
Works, as ako by Mr. Rutherford, Deputy-Keeper
of the Palace ; Mr. W. B. Hay, Bailie of Holy-
rood, &c. The Royal party reached the Palace a
few minutes before seven o'clock.
