HER MAJESTY'S RETURN FROM

BALMORAL.

The arrangements for her Majesty's reception at
Holyrood on Thur,day evening are making satisfac-
tory progress. In addition to the other preparations,
we believe it has been proposed to light a large bonfire
on the summit of Arthur Seat, which will illumine the
surrounding country, and have altogether a very
striking effect. We are happy to bear that the public
subscription set on foot to defray the expenses has
met with great success. It is also proposed, we be-
lieve, to illuminate St. Anthony's Chapel, and other
parts of Salisbury Crags, with the " Drummond
Light ;" and other pyrotechnic displays are spoken
of for the occasion. We regret, however, to under-
stand that the authorities have been obliged to give
up part of their design with the variegated lamps. It
was originally intended that the lamps should be
fortned into a variety of ornamental devices; but it
has been found that the strong current through the
valley would extinguish them, so that they will have to
be placed in ordinary gas globes, erected on posts
which are being raised for the purpose, 200 yards apart,
along the route from St. Margaret's station to
Ilolyroed. We believe that the effect of the whole
will be very striking ana beautiful. Her Majesty,
we learn, is to lunch at Stonehaven between one and
two o'clock on Thursday, so that the Royal party may
be expected here about six &clock. A cavalry escort
will await her Majesty's arrival at St. Margaret's, and
the way to the Palace will be lined with military.
The Royal party will leave for Osborne on Friday
morning, at eight o'clock.

THE DUCHESS OF KENT—ARRIVAL AT
DALMAHOY.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived
yesterday afternoon at Dalmahoy, the seat of the Earl
of Morton, where she is to remain for a few days.
Her Royal Highness left Haddo House, where she
had been on a visit to the Earl of Aberdeen, yester-
day morning at ten o'clock, pasting from the Noble
Earl's residence to Aberdeen. After lunching at
Roberts's Hotel, the Duchess left Aberdeen by rail.
way in a special train, travelling by the Aberdeen
line to Forfar - from Forfar to Perth on the
Scottish Midland ; from Perth to Larbert on the
Scottish Central; and from Larbert to Ratho on the
Edinburgh and Glasgow—the journey from Perth to
Ratho being accomplished in an hour and fifty
minutes. At Perth her Royal Highness was received
by Provost Dewar and Baillie Puller, of Perth, and
Captain Ronald, directors of the Scottish Central
Railway, with Mr. Johnstone, the manager ; and
Provost Sawyer, of Stirling, joined the train at that
city. Mr. Thomson, superintendent of the passenger
department of the Edinburgh and Glasgow line, ac-
companied the train from Larbert to its destination.
The train arrived at Ratho station at a quarter-past
six o'clock. Her Royal Highness occupied the elee
gant saloon carriage which was constructed some
years ago by the Caledonian Company for the use of
her Majesty, and which had been sent to Aberdeen
on this occasion for the special uze of the Duchess.
The Baroness de Speth accompanied her Royal High •
ness in the saloon carriage ; and Sir George Couper
travelled in one of the ordinary first-class carriages
which composed the train.
Her Royal Highness, on alighting, waa received by
the Eirl of Morton, who had arrived at the station
a short time previously, and was conducted 'by him
into the waiting-room (which was tastefully fitted up
for the reception of her Royal Highness), till the tra-
velling carriages on the train had been removed.
After remaining a short time, however, her Royal
Highness availed herself of the private carriage of the
Earl of Morton, in which she proceeded to Dalmahoy.
The Baroness de Speth and Sir George Cooper were
hi the carriage beside her Royal Highness, the Earl
of Morton accompanying on horseback.
The domestics of her Royal Highness remained
till the three carriages upon the train were landed,
and immediately proceeded in them to Dalmahoy.
The posting arrangements were under the superin-
tenlence of Mr. Isaac Scott, postmaster to the Queen.
As the time of the arrival of the distinguished
party was not generally known, there was not a great
crowd at the station, and the arrangements were of
the most satisfactory description. Mr. List, the active
superintendent of the county police, was on the spot,
and the best order was preserved.
We understand that the Earl and Countess of
Rosebery and Lord end Lady Belhaven met the
Duchess last night, at Dalmahoy ; and that a nume-
rous and distinguished party are to assemble to-day
(Tuesday), on the occasion of the visit of her Royal
Highness.
The Duchess, we believe, remains at Dalmahoy till
Thursday, when she will leave by the Caledonian
Railway, joining it at Kirknewton station, which is
distant about three miles from the residence of the
Earl of Morton.—Edinburgh Advertiser.

PURSUIT OF JuURNALISM UNDER DIFFICULTIES.—
A kindly sympathy prompts us to offer a hint calculated to
meet the difficulty under which the French journalists now
labour, in being obliged either to write tamely, or to expose
themselves to prosecution through the law, which compels
them to affix their names to their leading articles. Here is
a fragment of a model spirited leader relative to an imagi-
nary Ministry ; an article which, as far as the authorship is
concerned, would, we are bound to say, defy indictment :
" The consequences of Lord Mountbushel's accession to the
Premiership (Brown) are manifesting themselves with a ven-
geance (Jones). The funds—the nation's puree—are
(Robinson) falling fearfully (Tomkins). Discontent is
(Johnson) ripe at Manchester; fifty mills have already
closed, and the streets are thronged with (Snooks) frantic
crowds, exclaiming (Styles) Bread or (Kokes) Blood!
(Hopkins). A hundred thousand men have already assent-
bled at Birmingham, prepared, if need be, (Briggs) to march
on London (Hobbs). Now is the time, or never (Stabs).
Awake! arise ! or be for ever fallen ! (Milton). Raise the
song of the patriot in every street (DoliJs). Britons never
shall
13e slaves!" (Walker). Thus might liberty—goddess of
h • French press—dance a mighty pretty hornpipe in fetters.
—Punch.
