The Illoniteur of this morning says :—" According
to a telegram from Madrid, dated the 21st inst.,

does not appear to have any fears as to the issue
of the movement, which it looks upon as sup
pressed.

MADRID, Aug. 23

The Queen's Visit to the Borders.

KELSO, Wednesday Evening.
As intimated by telegraph, the Royal train was
an hour and 40 minutes late on reaching Kelso sta-
tion this morning, not coming in till 11.20. The
delay is ascribed to a fact calculated to occasion no
little anxiety in the public wind. It was, it is said,
discovered only yesterday evening that the new state
carriage of her Majesty is built too wide for the
bridges, or some of them, on the Waverley route.
Providentially it was suggested to examine whether
or not this was the case, and the gauge of the car-
riage having been taken, it was applied and found
to be too large for the structural works on this line.
Whether the new royal carriage be too large, or the
works on this railway be too small, there is presented
to the public mind a new source of danger in rail-
way travelling, and a peril just escaped of a mo-
mentous kind. It had on Tuesday been arranged
that the programme should be so far altered as that
the Queen, instead of stopping at Riccarton, should
breakfast at Carlisle, but this could only account
for a small portion of the long delay that occurred,
nor could it account for the fact that at Carlisle the
Queen's new saloon carriage was replaced by another
of smaller dimensions, in which the journey was
satisfactory accomplished.
The Queen and Royal party were received at the
station by the Duke of Buccleuch, Lord-Lieutenant
of Roxburghshire, also by Major-General Hamilton
and the members of the North British staff ; Colonel
Roche, Inspector of Volunteers ; and Capt. Graham,
Aide-de-Camp ; Mr. Rutherford, Sheriff of the
county ; and Mr. F. Russell, Sheriff Substitute.
The party from Floors Castle to meet the Queen
were the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe, the
Marquis of Bowmont, and Lord Charles Innes Ker.
Sir George Douglas, commanding the local adminis-
trative battalion of Volunteers, was also at the sta-
tion, and Captain Boycott was in command of the
escort of the 14th Hussars.

The party at the station passed the time as best
they could during the prolonged detention ; while
the people on the line of route waited with admirable
order and patience. The playing of the Volunteer
and other bands was the only amusement during
the interval, but there is a pleasure in seeing and
being seen, and, notwithstanding the unexpected
delay, the ranks of the people lining both sides of
the way, and which had been formed and consoli-
dated before nine o'clock, remained unbroken till
the Queen passed through the town.
At 15 minutes past 11 a gun from Roxburgh
Castle indicated that the Royal train had passed
Maison Dieu, about a mile west of Kelso. In a
minute or two the Royal train drew up at Kelso
Station, where Her Majesty was received in a very
neat pavilion. It was hung with red and white
calico with green fringe, with tartan hangings out-
side, and was lined with rich conservatory plants,
sent for the occasion by the Duke of Buccleuch.
Mats of heather were spread over the crimson
carpeting for Her Majesty in alighting from the
train and ascending to her carriage. On Her
Majesty stepping out the Duchess of Roxburgho
knelt, and as her Grace rose up Her Majesty most
affectionately kissed her. The Queen then turned
to the Duke of Roxburghe, to whom she held out
her hand, which his Grace kissed, and then turning
to the Duke of Buccleuch paid him the same com-
pliment. Her Majesty seemed in good spirits, and
evidently in excellent health. A ringing cheer arose
from the assemblage as the Royal party left the
station, which they did in the following order :-
1. The Queen's carriage, containing the Queen,
Her Royal Highness the Princess Christian, her
Royal Highness the Princess Louise, and the
Duchess of Roxburghe.
2. Barouche.—Her Royal Highness Princess
Beatrice, his Royal Highness Prince Leopold, his
Royal Highness Prince Christian, and the Duke of
Roxburghe.
3. Landau.—Lady Churchill, Lord Charles Fitz-
. roy, the Marquis of Bowrnont, and the Duke of
Marlborough.
4. Chariot.—Prince Christian Victor and two

you all the days of your life, and that your dwell..
ing place at last be in the House of God for ever,'
is the earnest prayer of your Majesty's most humble,
loyal, and attached subjects the magistrates and
inhabitants of Kelso.—ln name and by their autho-
rity, " G. CRAIG, Senior Magistrate."
Her Majesty's progress onwards to Floors Castle
was a continuous triumph. She arrived at Kelso
at 11.35, and reached Floors about 15 minutes
afterwards. As she alighted the royal standard was
displayed on the tower, which was the signal for a
royal salute being fired from Roxburghe Castle.
The afternoon was spent by her Majesty in a
walk through the gardens of Floors, and in com-
memoration of her visit she planted a young tree in
the terrace in front of the castle. Her Majesty took
tea in the ladies' parlour, adjoining the conserva-
tory with the Duke and Duchess and several mem-
bers of the royal party. His grace's band, under the
leadership of Mr. Oliver, played in the east end of
the terrace during her Majesty's visit to the grounds.
In the evening there was a general illumination
in Kelso. The town-hall dome was lit with paraf-
fin lamps, the bridge on the Floors side was out-
lined in light, and Floors Castle was also illumi-
nated. On a signal being given the beacon fires on
the hill tops over a wide extent of country were lit
up, there being no fewer than 13 bonfires on the
Duke of Roxburghe's estates, and the fires may be
said to have ranged from the Eildons to the Cheviots.
EDINBURGH, Aug. 22.

To-day the Queen spent the whole of the fore-
noon within the grounds at Floors, and at 10 mi-
nutes past 3 drove to Melrose Abbey. In the town
of Melrose vast crowds from Galashiels and neigh-
bouring places had assembled and gave Her Ma-

jesty an enthusiastic reception.
After spending some time among the ruins of the
Abbey the Royal party drove by Dornick Tower to
Abbotsford, three miles distant. At Abbotsford
Mr. and Lady Victoria Hope Scott received Her
Majesty and conducted her through the apartments
of Sir Walter Scott.

On the return journey the Queen drove by the
north bank of the Tweed to the Floors, which was
reached after dusk and in the midst of heavy rain.
We understand that on further inquiry it was

found that the Queen's State carriage would pass
along the Waverley route, and an experimental
journey was made with it to-day from Carlisle to
Tarbert, and it passed the bridges with ease. There
has been an error in the gauge applied to the works
on the line.
