tion the two seas at Toronto, a line for the
Abruzze, going to Rome, and branches for
Calabria. It is calculated that the cost will be ,
450,000,000 fr., and it is proposed that they shall be
completed in four years. The municipalities are
slowly preparing the electoral lists ; the Minister
of the Interior presses them to be more active, but
they are checked by fear of the reaction. The
clergy of Naples, headed by the Archbishop, are
spreading all sorts of rumours in order to
alarm the population, who, however, are much
more liberal than had been believed. A per-
sonage so high placed as to be well informed says,
that the following are pretty nearly the terms of the
reply of Garibaldi to the letter of the King of Sar-
dinia :—' Sire, I thank your Majesty for the honour
you have done me in sending me a letter. I receive
with respect the counsels of your Majesty, and I re-
serve to myself to reply categorically to them from
Rome.' M. Manna writes in great discouragement
from Turin—at least to his friends ; it appears, from
what he says, that the envoys of Francis 11. will
return without having concluded anything."
Another letter from Naples, of the same date,
contains the following :

"The conquered of Milazzo, after their return
to the fort of that place, raised shouts of Vive
Garibaldi !' The King of Naples, notwithstanding
all that has passed, continues to use the old for-
mula at the head of his decrees : ' Francis 11.
by the grace of God, King of the kingdom of the
Two Sicilies, of Jerusalem, &c. ; Duke of Parma,
Piacenza, Castro, &c., &c. ; ereditary Grand
Prince of Tuscany, &c: Is it not ludicrous ?
The steamer of the Messageries Imperiales, which
arrived yesterday, brought more of the old exiles ;
among them was M. Petrucelli de la Gattina, mem-
ber of the Neapolitan Parliament in 184 S. With
the exception of Poerio, who is coming soon, and
Settembrini, and Dragonetti—who are also ex-
peeted—l think all the surviving victims of the
Bourbon Kings have returned to their country.
The Government, as if it seriously believed in the
working of the new institutions, is preparing S.
place for the sittings of the national representa-
tives. The site chosen for the new edifice, which is
constructed of iron, wood, and glass, is the Largo
Spiriti Santo, or, more properly, the Fosse del
Grano."

THE QUEEN'S ARRIVAL 1N EDIN-

BURGH.

EDINBURGH, TUESDAY, 9 A.M.
The Queen arrived in Edinburgh this morning
at a few minutes past 8 o'clock. As this is the day
appointed for the review of the Volunteers in Scot-
land in Holyrood Park, to the number of above
20,000 men, there was an immense assemblage
awaiting her arrival. The morning is dull and
somewhat chilly, but gives promise of a beautiful,
or at least a favourable day for the grand display.
The " Queen's Drive," from the station to the
Palace, was kept by the 13th Light Dragoons, from
Piershill, who were posted at either end, and by the
78th Highlanders, from the Castle, and the Ist
battery of the 9th Brigade, Royal Artillery, from
Leith Fort, carrying with them their new battery of
Armstrong guns. The spectators massed them•
selves on either side of the military cordon which

protected the drive, and great numbers of them
were gathered on the slopes of the hill, which is to
form the great amphitheatre for the day's spectacle,
The military took up their posts in the Park at 7
o'clock, and from 6 o'clock till 8 there was a cease-
less tide of spectators flowing into the Park. On
the summit of Arthur's Seat waved " the ruddy
lion ramp't in gold," and other preparations for
commemorating the great event of the day were to
be seen in the infinite variety and profuse display
of flags hung from the steeples of the city churches,
the facades of the public buildings, and from the
tops and windows of private dwellings, and in the
splendid floral decorations that everywhere met the

eye.
St. Margaret's station was, as usual, neatly fitted
up for the Queen's arrival with carpet of the green
Stuart tartan and a mat of heather, on which to
alight on Scottish ground, the sides of the staircase
and awning being decorated with flowers. Within
the station was a splendid assemblage of General
officers, including Lieutenant-General Sir G. A.
Wetherall, Major-General Lord ROkeby, Major-
General Scarlett, Adjutant-General ; Major-Gene-
-a Xlrey, /dapr
commanding in North Britain ; the Duke of Buc-
cleuch, in his uniform of lord lieutenant of the
county ; Lieutenant-Colonel Sir John Douglas,
Captain Jeffery, R,N., the Lord Provost of the city,
the Sheriff of Midlothian, Captain J. It. Johnstone,
Lanarkshire Engineers ; Col. Kinloch, her Ma-
jesty's Inspector of Police ; Messrs. Sprott, Kinloch,
Bowman, and other directors of the North British
Railway, and a considerable number of ladies.
The royal train was telegraphed from Dunbar at
7 27 a.m., and from Inveresk at 7 53, and came into
the station at a minute or two past 8, seven or eight
minutes in advance of the time table. As the train
drew up the signal was given, and a royal salute
was immediately fired from the batteries of the
castle. As her Majesty left the State carriage she
was saluted by all the general officers and others
present. The Queen was accompanied by the Prince
Consort, Prince Arthur, the Princesses Alice,
Louisa, Helena, and the members of the Court. In
attendance on her Majesty were the Right Hon.
Sidney Herbert, Secretary of State for War ; Col.
Sir C. Phipps, K.C.8., Major-General the Hon. C.
Grey, the Countess of Desart, Lady-in-Waiting ;
the Hon. Beatrice Byng, Maid of Honour; Lieu-
tenant-Colonel de Ros, Life Guards, Equerry to the
Prince Consort; and Major Elphinstone, tutor
Prince Arthur, &c.
The royal party having ascended the stairca
entered a. procession of open carriages and four,
which were in waiting to convey them to Holy.
rood. An escort of the 13th Light Dragoons was
in attendance, and also the band of the regiment,
which played the royal anthem. As her Majesty
drove at an easy pace through the park, she was
loudly cheered by the multitudes on the ground.
Her Majesty reached Holyrood Palace at about
20 minutes past 8. A detachment of the 78th
Highlanders, under the command of Lieutenant-
Colonel Lockhart, was drawn up in front as a guard
of honour, and the band of the regiment played the
Royal Anthem as her Majesty entered the Palace.
The beautiful fountain in front of the Palace was
put into play for the occasion.
The run from London to Edinburgh was as usual
under the personal superintendence of Mr. Seymour
Clarke, general manager of the Great Northern
Railway, who received at St. Margaret's, through
Sir Charles Phipps, the acknowledgments of the
Queen for the admirable regularity preserved
throughout the journey.

The great review by the Queen of the Scottish
Volunteers in Holyrood Park this day has passed
off with the utmost success. The weather was dull
in the morning and showery about noon, but after
two the day was fine, with warm sunshine and a
light breeze from the west, and, excepting immense
clouds of dust that swept over the review ground,
there was nothing to mar the comfort of those en-
gaged. It was half-past three before the entire line
was formed, nearly three-fourths of the Volunteers
having had to make the journey from home that
morning, and, owing to the immense pressure on the
railways, several of the arrivals were very late, it
is believed that the Volunteers under arms conside-
rably exceeded the returns previously made, and
numbered from 21,000 to 22,000 men, besides from
2,000 to 3,000 that were present as spectators, the
latter including numerous men of the London Scot-
iond-house,
tish. Her Majesty left Holyrood at half-pa,Dstutchhreeses,

also upon the field. Behind the saluting flag was a
splendidly decorated gallery, containing about 4,000
spectators; but it was upon the hills opposite that
