been made, and which now carries the passenger
traffic across the river far above the level of the
houses, and at an alticude from the v.,ater, for which,
I believe, there is no parallel in the world.
That great 01-j,ct being completed, there still re-
mained to ha achieved a grand termini scheme, into
which ail the various northern lines of railway should
run which converge at Newcastle-upon-Tyne. That
great desideratum has now been supplied by the
erectio❑ of an extensive and magnificent structure, to
be henceforward called the Central Railway Station,
which has been this day opened to the public.
This building, erected on a locality called the Forth,
is of a crescent shape. The roof, which is composed
of cast-iron and glass, is divided into three compart-
ments, is supported on metal pillars, and extends over
the whole area set :Tart for the purposes of the
station. There is a spacious and commodious platform
on each side of the line, and a fine suite of offices on
the north side.

Long before the hour (half-past twelve) at which
her .111,9esty was expected all tne available area of the
station was occupied by an immense crowd of well-
dressed people, the greater part of whom were ladies,
who had come far arid near to catch a glimpse, how-
ever fa-Into:if their Sovereign, whilst, as far as the eye
could reach away beyond the station, the populace
had congregated in inappreciably large numbers for
the same purpose.
A convenient space, on which was erected a raised
platform, covered with red cloth, to facilitate the
descent of her Majesty and the approach of the civic
functionaries of Newcastle and Gateshead, was
marked out opposite the main entrance, and
protected by barriers from the crowd. Within
this privileged space the baud of the 33d Regiment of
Foot was stationed and played several lively airs at
intervals, which served to beguile the tedium of wait-
ing the arrival of her Majesty. Detachments of the
same regiment under the command of Colonel Pole
were placed at intervals along the platform ; and
strong detatchments of the local constabulary kept
back the " pressure from without " outside the sta-
tion. The civic functionaries of Newcastle and Gates-
head, headed by Joseph Crawhall, Esq., and George
Hawkes, E,q., their respective mayors, also mustered
in great force, and occupied places within the space
to which I have referred. A great number of the
resident and neighbouring gentry were also present
to greet her Majesty on her arrival, among whom we
noticed Earl Grey, the Hon. Mr. Grey, the Hon,
Thomas Liddell, Mr. Hutt, M.P. for Gateshead, Mr.
Bell, M.P., and hi r. Ogle, M.P. for South North-
umberland, Mr. P. Howard, M.P. for Carlisle, Sir
Walker Trevelyan, and many others.
The entrance to the station was tastefully festooned
with evergreens, and from almost every conspicuous
point within view of the station banners waved grace-
fully in the breeze, many of them bearing expressions
of welcome and good-will towards her Majesty.
Precisely at twenty minutes to one o'clock a gun
fired from the battlements cf the old castle signalled
the arrival of her Majesty at the Gateshead station,
on the opposite side of the Tyne, and though a con-
siderable distance intervened, the cheers which
greeted her Majesty's arrival at Gateshead were dis-
tinctly audible at the central station at Newcastle.
At a quarter to one o'clock the train conveying the
Queen moved slowly and majestically into the new
station, amid the most enthusiastic shouts of welcome
from ie thousands there assembled that ever rung in
human ears. On the approach' of the Queen's car-
riage within the station every man present uncovert d
himself, the ladies waved their 'handkerchiefs, and
again and again shouts of welcome rent the air.
Earl Grey, Lord-Lieutenant of the county of
Northumfferland, and Sir Walter Trevelyan, the
High Sheriff, stood uncovered on the raised platform
to receive her Majesty. Before the train stopped,
Sir George Grey stepped out and joined them.
Earl Grey opened the carriage door and her Ma-
jesty and Prince Albert immediately alighted. This
act was the signal for another enthusiastic and pro-
longed round of cheering. Her Majesty and Prince
Albert, both visibly affected by this welcome, bowed
gracefully on all sides to the assembled multitude.
They were accompanied by the Prince of Wales and
three other of the royal children. The scene and the
excitement at that moment were the most thrilling we
ever remember to have witnessed.

The Mayors of Newcastle and Gateshead then led
the way to an adjoining room, her' Majesty, Prince
Albert, and the Royal children, following, where a
dejeuner had been prepared for them, of which they
partook, her Majesty having previously received
the address presented by the Mayor of Newcastle,
given above.

Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the children, pre-
ceded and accompanied by the civic officers, then
returned in the same order to the platform. Shouts
from the multitude again resounded on all sides,
which her Majesty and the Prince graciously ac-
knowledged; and having returned to their carriage,
they stood at the window visibly moved, and made
their obeisance to the people by whom they were so
rapturously eheered.
Her Majesty, the Prince, and the Royal children,
were attired in deep mourning. The whole of the
royal party appeared in excellent health and high
spirits.
At a quarter past one,lhaving:stayed half an hour at
Newcastle, her Majesty proceeded, amidst the cheer-
ing of the populace, on her way to Berwick, where
she opened the magnificent viaduct which has been
recently erected there across the Tweed.

EDINBURGH, THURSDAY.
Her Majesty arrived here in perfect safety at five
o'clock.

At Berwick she inaugurated the magnificent new
viaduct over the Tweed as the " Royal Border-
bridge." The reception was of a very enthusiastic
character, and the scene altogether was very impos-
ing. Addresses from the towns of Alnmouth and
Dunbar were presented to her Majesty through Sir
G. Grey on her road, and on the arrival of the train
here the whole of the population turned out to wel-
come her. _

The display was among the grandest and most
striking the metropolis of Scotland has ever witnessed.
The slopes of Arthur's seat, round the base of
which the Royal party passed in procession, were
covert-d with thousands of spectators; and amidst
loud cheering and under the protection of ber body
guard of Royal Archers her Majesty was conducted

DARING ESCAPE.—On Monday forenoon, about
eleven o'clock, a prisoner named Jamieson Bremner or Smith,
alias William Macfarlane, made his escape from the gaol at
Greenock, where he has for a.,me time been incarcerated
wait( g trial for shopbreaking. The mode by which the
exit was effected was as follows :—He was in the exercising-
hall at the time of his escape, and had only been left alone
for a few minutes while the warder went to the gate. In
that short time he contrived to extract some nails which
fastened down the window-sash, and succeeded in wrenching

from which he climbed the wall of the dung-heap, and
sprang on to the boundary-wall, and dropped into the street.
An old beggar who sits at the Sheriff Court-hall witnessed
the descent of the convict, and gave information to one if
the criminal officers, but the prisoner had got a fair start
before he was followed. Information was also given to the
police, who likewise gave chase, but, notwithstanding
all
their efforts, he got clear off.—Glasgow Chrfiticle.
