ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY

(BY EXPRESS.)

WOOLWICH, HALF-PAST Two o'cLocm

The royal squadron has just arrived, and her
Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Princess Royal
have this instant landed, under a royal sa-
lute, after, as we understand, a most bois-
terous passage. Her Majesty was received en
her landing by Sir George Cockburn and the officers
of the Dock-yard. The royal carriages are in
waiting to take her Majesty and suite to the Great
Western terminus at Paddington, from whence they
will proceed by special train to Windsor.

WOOLWICH.—The Artillery division of the Hon.
Artillery Company, under the command of Captain
Iselin, with Lieutenants Rooke and Lewis, marched from
the Armoury House, in Finsbury-square, on Tuesday
last, and arrived on the practice-ground at half-past
eleven o'clock, and immediately commenced firing from
a battery of light six-pounders, at the range of 650 yards,
directed towards a target six feet square. Upwards of
sixty rounds were fired with a precision which must have
been gratifying to the commanding officer, to whose in-
troduction of an improved method of drill, this success-
ful result, so eminently creditable to the corps, is mainly
to be attributed. The steady and soldier-like marching
and general bearing of the non-commissioned officers
and gunners, were much admired by those who wit-
nessed the progress of the detachments and the practice
of the day.
THE DUKE OF C A MDRIDG E. —Last night his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, accompanied
by his Serene Highness Frederick Hereditary Grand
Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, and suite, arrived in
Edinburgh per railway from Glasgow, on their return
from Inverary, where the distinguished parties had been
participating in the festivities consequent on the Mar-
quis and Marchioness of Lorn's arrival at that place.
On the arrival of his Royal Highness and suite at the
railway terminus, about nine o'clock, they proceeded in
a carriage and four and carriage and pair to Douglas's
Hotel. It was understood that the party intended visit-
ing the Castle and other objects of interest in the city in
the course of to-day. It is said his Royal Highness in-
tends to leave Edinburgh to-morrow morning about nine
o'clock, for Etal House, Northumberland, the seat of his
nephew Lord Frederick Fitzclarence.—Edinburgh Ob-
server of Tuesday.
BRIGHTON, OCT. 2.—At two o'clock to-day three
of her Majesty's private carriages, containing the Prince
of Wales, the Princess Alice, and Prince Alfred, accom-
panied by Lady Lyttelton, and attended by the nurses,
drove from the _Pavilion to the railway terminus, where
the royal party were received by the Hon. Mr. Murray,
Master of the Household, and Mr. Thompson and Mr.
Cooper, two of the Directors of the Railway Company.
A carpet was laid from the carriages to the special train,
across which the Prince of Wales walked very leisurely.
The party having taken their seats, and the private car-
riages having been placed upon trucks and attached to
the rear of the train, the engine, which was driven by
Mr. Cubitt, took the train in tow, and started from the
terminus precisely at a quarter past two o'clock for New-
cross, whence the royal party were to depart in the pri-
vate carriages for the Paddington station of the Great
Western Railway, and thence by special train to Slough,
where they were to resume the private carriages and
proceed to Windsor. The quarter to two up-train, which
Was somewhat behind its usual time of starting, was
ordered to remain in the siding at Hayward's-heath, so
as to leave the main lino open for the uninterrupted
progress of the special train. The train consisted, as on
the arrival of the royal children three weeks ago, of the
state carriage, which is magnificently fitted up, with a
table in the centre compartment, and placed between
two first-class carriages. The engine was decorated
with the royal standard, and the train started amid the
cheers of the spectators. We are happy to add that the I
royal children are enjoying excellent health.
SHIPMENT OF SHEEP FOR SCOTLAND.--A novelty
was witnessed yesterday forenoon at Bore's Steam-
packet Wharf, Wapping, in the shipment of 211, live
English rams and ewes on board the Dundee, Perth,
and London Shipping Company's steam-ship London,
Capt. Ewing, for Dundee. The novel shipment is for a
gentleman in Fifeshire, named Clark, who intends culti-
vating the English breed of sheep in Scotland.
