VISIT OF THE QUREN TO 2'HE STEAM

YACHT FOX.

SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY.
This gallant little vessel, which played so con-
spicuous and interesting a part in the final expedi-
tion that succeeded in solving the mystery as to the
fate of Sir John Franklin and his companions, and
which leaves this port this evening on another ex-
pedition of great commercial and scientific interest,
was honoured with a visit today by her Majesty
and the Prince Consort. On the occasion of the
Prince embarking in the docks on Tuesday evening
for Osborne, on his return from the International
Statistical Congress in London, his Royal Highness
expressed a wish that the Fox should be taken
down to. Osborne-bay, in order that an opportunity
might be afforded to the Queen and himself to pay
her a visit. The Fox was accordingly sent to Os-
borne last night, and took up her moorings off the
Royal landing-place ; and this morning she was
put in readiness for the Royal visit.
At half-past 10 the Fairy steamed alongside, with
her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and the Royal
children now at Osborne, on board. The Royal
party were received, on stepping on board the Fox,
by the officers who are going on the expedition—
viz., Capt. Allen Young, the commander •, Mr. T.
E. Davies, R.N., second in command ' • Dr. Rae,
F.G.S., who volunteers as a surgeon and naturalist;
Col. Shaffner, the principal coneessionnaire ; Lieut.
Von Zeilaw and Mr. Olaffsson, two Commissioners
sent out by the Danish Government; Mr. J. E.
Woods, secretary to the expedition; and by other
gentlemen interested in the undertaking. Captain
Young and Dr, Rae wore their Arctic medals.
Her Majesty and the Prince walked round the
ship, minutely inspecting the various instruments
to be used for taking soundings, Ac., and the sledges
and appliances provided for the land travel and sur-
vey, The sledge used by Captain M'Clintock in his
Franklin voyage, which is on board the Fox, was
an object of especial interest to the Royal party.
The Prince Consort and some of the suite went "ne-
low, and examined the cabins and berths occupied
by M'Ciintock and Young in their Arctic voyage,
expressing surprise at the smallness of the apart-
ments in which those heroic men were confined for
so long a period in those desolate regions.
The Queen then desired the officers to be pre-
sented to her individually, and her Majesty graci-
ously addressed a few words to each of them spe-
cially. To Dr. Rae her Majesty said that she had
heard much about him and his great scientific re-
searches, and jocularly remarked that Arctic travel
could not be such very bad service after all, as he
was looking so remarkably well. Her Majesty en-
tered freely into conversation with Captain Young
about his former voyage in the Fox, and the remains
of Franklin's expedition, and asked him if he be-
lieved there was any possibility of any .member of
that devoted band of men being yet alive. The
Queen expressed her surprise at the smallness of
the vessel for such expeditions as she had under-
taken and was about to undertake ; and Captain
Young explained to her Majesty the mode of her
construction, and the strength with which she was
built, which fitted her for any service whatever.
The Prince Consort expressed his admiration at
the manner in which the Fox is fitted out, and in-
quired under whose directions, and at whose ex-
pense it had been done. On Capt. Young reply-
ing that it was Mr. J. R. Croskey, that gentleman
was, at the request of the Prince, introduced to the
Queen and himself. Mr. Croskey explained to the
Royal visitors the proposed route and the general
nature or the undertaking, and took occasion to
thank her Majesty for the grant of the Bulldog,
with which vessel it is intended the Fox shall co-
operate, and communicate on all possible occasions.
Colonel Shaffner was also honoured with an intro-
duction, and gave some explanations of his former
voyage over the route proposed for the cable, and
showed to the Royal party the action of the deep-
sea sounding apparatus and other instruments to be
employed in the survey. Copies of the maps and
plans connected with the line were handed to her
Majesty.
The Royal party remained on board the Fox
abort half an hour, and on leaving both her
Majesty and the Prince Consort expressed their
satisfaction with everything they had seen on board,
and stated that they considered the project a very
feasible one and likely to be accomplished, and they
wished it every success. The crew of the Fox
manned the rigging, and gave three hearty cheers
as the Royal party left for the Fairy,
The Fox is fitted out with every possible conve-
nience for her interesting voyage, on which it is
hoped that she will not be occupied longer than
until the end of November. A complete set of
meteorological instruments has been presented by
the Board of Trade, through the kindness of Rear-
Admiral Fitzroy, the hydrographer to the Ad-
miralty ; and a full supply of astronomical and
mathematical instruments has been lent by the
Admiralty. She also carries out the necessary
apparatus for deep sea soundings, and all the requi-
site appliances for the survey by sea and land.
Most probably the Fox will proceed by the north
of Scotland direct to the Faroe Islands, where it is
anticipated she will not be delayed longer than two
or three days in selecting a favourable lauding place
for the cable. On leaving the Faroe Islands she
will proceed direct to 1 celand, making deep sea
soundings by the way. Captain Young and his
officers will be engaged on the east side of Iceland
in sounding for and selecting a favourable place for
landing the cable; whilst the survey of the interior
for the land line will be simultaneously carried on
by Dr. Rae and his party, consisting of Colonel
Shaffner, Mr. Woods, and the two Danish mem-
bers of the expedition. After visiting the west
coast of Iceland, at a point selected by Captain
Young, the Fox will proceed to some point on the
southern coast of Greenland, making deep-sea
soundings and examining the charactei•of the bot-
tom as she continues Fier voyage. Here again
Captain Young and his officers will be engaged
in
examining the various bays, for the purpose of de-
termining the favourable point for the east of Green-
land termini, while Dr. Rae and his party will
make an exploration of the interior through
ground never yet crossed. After visiting the
west coast at some point near Juiianshaab, whence
the cable will be carried across cross to Labrador,
the
the Fox will take
proposed route to
Hamilton Inlet, on the Labrador coast ; and, after
making a complete survey of theinlet, she will re-
turn direct to Europe.
In addition to the primary object of the voyage—
viz., the survey for the North Atlantic Telegraph,
the officers compng this expedition will take
every opportunity of observing and recording such
scientific facts as will increase the amount of
knowledge at present possessed in reference to the
geographical, geological, and mineralogical features
of this portion of the globe.
The Fox returned to this port after the Royal
visit, and she sails hence on her interesting mission
some time to night.

the greatest danger from the horse-riding would
result to nurses and children.
Sir J. SHELLEY, M.P., said his table was daily
covered with letters from his constituents and others,
begging him to use what influence he possessed to
prevent this act of Vandalism for the mere advan-
tage of the aristocracy being carried out. He
warned the right hon. gentleman that, if he per-
sisted, they would have to make an appeal to
her Majesty, as unless that was done an im-
pression would get abroad that her Majesty sanc-
tioned the proceeding, and it might lead to some
serious public disturbances on the working classes
and mass of the people, who felt that they were
being deprived of their rights.
Mr. EDWIN JAMES, M.P., agreed with Sir J.
Shelley that a persistence might lead to a popular
excitement, so deep was the interest felt in the
question. His owtr belief was that her Majesty
would not tolerate this proceeding.
Mr. BOYLE, Mr. ANTItOBUS, Mr. BANTING, and
other gentlemen addressed the Hon. Commissioner,
and contended that while the Ranger could restrict
these encroachments in Hyde Park, the only appeal
was to the Crown in places like Kensington-gar-
dens.

The Hon. W. COWPER combated the argument
that there was any distinction 'with respect to his
own authority in Kensington-gardens and in Hyde
Park, and he must say that the way in which the
name of hei. Majesty had been introduced by his
hon. friends, Sir 4.Shelley and Mr. James, he con-
sidered most unconstitutional and uncalled for. It
was on the Minister who advised a particular
course to be taken that the responsibility rested,
and in reference to the position he held he (the
Hon. Mr. Cowper) was fully prepared to take
upon himself that responsibility. He believed
that in carrying out this ride he was not only
paying deference to the feelings of the riding
public but of the walking public also. (" No
no.") As a proof of this he appealed to the
hundreds of pedestrians who daily delighted to
sit or walk and see the equestrians in Rotten-
row. The three points urged against this new ride
were its danger, that it destroyed the quiet of
Kensington-gardens, and also injured the beauty
of the gardens. He could not see that either of
these points was sustained. He must confess he was
surprised at the number of the memorialists, as
from what he had heard he considered people were
generally in favour of it. (No, no.)
In answer to Lord Enfield, the Hon. Mr. Cowper
admitted that no representation had been made to
him, either public or private, that equestrians re-
quired further accommodation for riding than
Rotten-row, but he had made the road on the prin-
ciple of giving pleasure to all classes. He further
said, if a good case were made out, he had no ob-
jection to make such alterations as would obviate
any supposed inconvenience or danger to the public.
The deputation then withdrew.
