THE QUEEN'S JOURNEY TO IRELAND•

Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by the
Prince Consort, Princess Alice, and Prince Arthur,
and attended by a numerous suite, will leave Os'
borne on Wednesday next for Irelan(l.
Her Majesty will cross from the isle of Wight to
Portsmouth in the Elfin steam yacht, and disem-
barking at the Clarence yard, will enter a Royal
special train, which is timed to have Gosport at
quarter to 10 o'clock, and arrive at the Holyhead
station at 6 45 p.m. The Victoria and Albert steam
yacht will be alongside the, Holyhead pier in readi-
ness to receive her Majesty on board.
The total distance from Gosport to
(310 miles) will thus be accomplished, exclusive of
stoppages, in 81 hours, at an unform speed of 39
miles an hour. Holyhead

The train will be made up by the London and
North-Western Railway Company, who have pre-
pared a superb new saloon carriage for the use of
her Majesty. The directors and officers of the seve-
ral railways traversed by the Royal party will at-
tend the Queen over their respective lines ; but Mr.
Cawkwell, general manager of the London and
North-Western Railway, will accompany her Ma-
jesty throughout the whole journey.
The Royal train will be preceded at 15 minutes'
interval by a pilot engine, and in order to insure
perfect safety no other engine or train of any kind
will be allowed to travel on the main lines between
the Bushbury Junction and Holyhead within 30
minutes of the time named for the passing of her
Majesty.

The Royal train will be provided with a means
of communication from the last break-van to the
engine.

It is announced that on this occasion the public
will not be admitted to the stations along the line
of route, and no cheering or other demonstrations
on the part of the companies' servants is to
be allowed, the object being that her Majesty
shall be perfectly undisturbed during the journey-
The Queen, if the weather be at all favourable,
.
will cross to Kingstown on Wednesday evening
and, with the known speed of the Victoria aid Al-
bert, her Majesty may be expected to arrive at the
Viceregal Lodge before midnight, though unforei
seen circumstances may possibly delay the ItoYa
dieembarottkion until Thursday morning.
