EDINBURGH.

Her Majesty's first day's journey was completed
within ten or twelve minutes of the expected time, the
whole journey. of 399 miles, from King's-cross to St.
Margaret's-station, having been accomplished within ten
hours and a half. _ _

The way from St. Margaret',-station to Holyrood was
lined by the stla Dragoon Guards, the Royal Artillery,
and Rifle Brigade, the Artillery exhibiting in the park a
battery of six guns, with full. equipment of horses and
carriages. An immense throng lined all the way to
Holyrood. Her Majesty is proverbially fortunate in
gettieg good wtathtr here, but never did she enter
Edinburgh on a finer evening, or meet a happier recep-
tion. The hills were still illuminated by a dazzling sun-
shine, while the parks and slopes were animated by a
large and loyal assemblage, and dense lines of faces
gazed at and cheered the royal party as they passed
along at little more than a walking pace.
The Palace of Holyrood was reached in about-ten
minutes. Outside, the splendid band of the Rifles played
the anthem, and a guard of honour presented arms
The High Constables were ranged on both sides of the
portico, and within it her Majesty was received by the
Duke of Buccleucb, Sir Benjamin Hall, the Lord Pro-
vost, Rec.
After a short interval her Majesty and Prince Albert
left their apartments and proceeded in company with
Sir B. Ha 'l to inspect the improvements that are being
made around the palace, and with which her Majesty,
we believe, expressed herself much gratified: A lame
extension is being made to the palace garden, and
various improvements are likewise being effected within
the palace.
The dinner party in the evening only included Sir
Benjamin Hall, in addition to the royal suite.
On Saturday morning her Majesty, Prince Albert,
and the royal chair-en left Edinburgh en route for Bal-
moral. About a quarter past nine o'clock the royal
party, attended as they were on Friday, left Holyrood
Palace, and at hall-past nine the royal train left the
station amid the cheering of the spectators. The train
reached Stirling about 10.40, Perth at 11,40, and the
railway journey to Blairgowrie was completed at half-
past 12 ; the royal party proceeding in post carriages
thence to Balmoral.
