THE QUEEN'S MIT TO IRELAND.

OSBORNE, AUG. 21.

Her Majesty and his Royal Highness the Prince
Consort, their Royal Highnesses Prince Alfred,
Princess Alice, and Princess Helena, left Osborne
this morning at a quarter before nine o'clock, fur
Holyhead. _ _

The suite in attendance comprised Lady
Churchill, the Hon. Victoria Stuart Wortley, Miss
Hildyard, Lieutenant-General the Hon. C. Grey,
Colonel the Hon. Sir C. B. Phipps, Major Du
Plat, Major Cowell, and Dr. Jenner.

Earl Granville and Viscount Sydney will join
the Royal party on the road.
Their Royal Hignesses Prince Arthur, Prince
Leopold, Princess Louise, and Princess Beatrice left
in the afternoon for London, and will proceed to-
morrow to Holyrood Palace, en route to Balmoral,
where they will await her Majesty's arrival.
Their Royal Highnesses are attended by Lady
C. Barrington, Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. D. de
Ros, Major Elphinstone, and Sir J. Clark.

The Royal train was timed to reach Leamington
at 1 17 p.m., and stay there for 20 minutes. Abou.
that time the train glided noiselessly into the
station, and stopped exactly opposite the suites
of rooms which had been fitted up for the Royal
party and their attendants by the Great Western
Railway Company. Mr. C. B. Fryer, district
superintendent, and Mr. Chapman, district engi-
neer, were waiting on the platform to receive
the distinguished visitors, who were immediately
conducted to the refreshment rooms. Her Majesty
the Queen, the Prince Consort, Princesses Alice
and Helena, Prince Alfred, Earl Granville, Colonel
F. Phipps, Major Cowell, and three equerries sat
down to a substantial luncheon in a State apart-
ment expressly fitted up for the Royal party ; and
about 20 attendants were similarly provided for in
:+nother room. The retiring and d, essing rooms were
elegantly and appropriately decorated.
The Royal train, while passing over the 121 miles
of the Great Western Railway from Basingstoke to
Bushbury Junction, near Wolverhampton, was in
charge of Mr. Kelley, superintendent of the southern
division of the line, and Mr. Gooch, locomotive
superintendent. The line was kept perfectly clear
for 15 minutes before the approach of the train, and
this arrangement rendered unnecessary the use of
a pilot engine over the Great Western line.
The Royal train arrived at the Bushbury Junc-
tion of the London and North Western Railway at
2 38, two minutes before time, and left at 2 42,
three minutes nefore the time set down on the
Royal time-bill. At this point the Great Western
line terminates and runs into the London and
North Western. In consequence a change of en•
gines and drivers became necessary, and five
minutes were allowed for the purpose. Only four
minutes, however, were occupied. Arrived at this
junction, her Majesty had accomplished 1621 miles.
To receive her Majesty on her entrance on the Lon
don and North Western line, were Mr. Moon, the
chairman; Mr. J. P. B. Westhead, M.P., deputy-
chairman; Mr. Hardman Earle, Mr. S. A. Thompson,
and Mr. J. A. Tinue, all directors ; Mr. E. C. Stuart,
secretary ; Mr. G. P. Neele, traffic superintendent
of the Birmingham district; Mr. H. Woodhouse,
superintendent of the locomotive department; Mr.
R. S. Norris and Mr. H. Lee, engineers ; Mr. J. 0.
Binger, traffic superintendent of the Chester and
Holyhead ; Mr. R. S. Mansell, traffic superinten-
dent of the portion of the line north of Stafford ;
and Mr. J. Ramsbottom, locomotive superintendent
of the northern division, by whom the London and
North-Western engine was taken charge of at this
point, and who drove the train to Holyhead. In
addition to the gentlemen named, Col. Hogg, the
chief constable of Staffordshire, accompanied the
train from Wolverhampton.

KINGSTOWN, 11 P.M.

The Royal yacht, with her M jesty and the Prince
Consort on board, arrived safely in Kingstown har-
bour shortly after half.past 10, having made the
voyage from Holy held in little over three hours.

(From the Scotsman)
VISIT OF THE ROYAL FAMILY TO
SCOTLAND.

The younger members of the royal family who,
as was announced some time since, are to precede
their royal parents in their visit this year to Bal-
moral are the Princesses Louise and Beatrice, and
Princes Arthur and Leopold. Their royal high-
nesses will leave London by the ordinary express
train from King's-cross Station at nine o'clock on
Thursday (this) morning, and will be attended by
Lady Caroline Barrington, Colonel the Hon. Dudley
C. F. de Ros, +jor Elphinstone, Sir James Clark,
Bart., Physician in Ordinary to the Queen, and the
members of the suite. The royal children will travel
from London by the ordinary route of the Great.
Northern, via Peterborough, Doncaster, York,
&c., to Berwick, which will be reached about 6.25
p.m. A stoppage of a few minutes will be made
here, during which tea will be served to the royal
party. The journey will be resumed about half-
past six, and the train 'sill reach Dunbar (where
another stoppage takes place) at 7 13. and will
arrive at St. Margaret's Station, Edinburgh, about
7 55. Here the royal party and suite will leave
the train, and, with their attendants, drive through
Holyrood Park to the Palace. The royal party,
we believe, will remain in Edinburgh over
Friday, and resume their journey to the High-
lands on Saturday morning, leaving St. Mar-
garet's Station by a special train at 8.45 a.m.,
proceeding by the usual route to Balmoral. No
authentic intelligence has yet been received of the
route to be taken by her Majesty and the Prince
Consort, with the remaining members of the royal
family, in their journey to Balmoral from Ireland.
Various statements on the subject have appeared in
the English and Irish papers—all indicating that
her Majesty would pass through Edinburgh en
route to Balmoral. We have reason to believe, how -
ever, that the Queen will not this season pass
through the city on her journey to the North, and
that our citizens will not be gratified by a royal visit
tilt the return of the Court from the Highlands, which
this year will be later than usual, in October. As the
extended and improved accommodation at Holyrood
—to which we recently referred—will be generally
completed before the return of the Court from
the North, it is to be hoped that the Queen and
Prince Consort will prolong their stay at the
Palace, and that his Royal Highness will preside in
laying the foundation-stone of the New Industrial
Museum, in the development of which he takes so
warm an interest. It would be most gratifying
also if the Prince would at the same time perform
the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of the
new General Post-office. The commanding position
of this new edifice would admit of a public demon-
stration on a•greater scale than the as yet compara-
tively confined site of the new museum, and both
being national institutions, such an inauguration
would be highly appropriate.

Two SIDES TO A QUESTION —A funny incident
is related as having occurred in Brighton during the race
week. A party of gentlemen connected with the turf were
staying at one of the hotels, and were amusing themselves
in the balcony of their sitting room, when it suddenly gave
way, and one of the party, to his intense astonishment,
found himself descending in it into the street. Very for-
tunately he reached the ground unhurt, and coolly walked
up stairs to his companions, who congratulated him upon
his narrow escape, and were not slow to blame the proprie-
tor for his neglect in having his balcony in such a rotten
state as to endanger life. The proprietor, however, took
quite a different view of the matter, and when the bill %vas
sent in it contained an item, "To injury done to balcony,
The money was not paid.
