ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AT
WOOLWICH.-(THIS DAY.)

(ANOTHER ACCOUNT.)

• The announcement that her Most Gracious Ma-
jesty and Prince Albert would disembark some time
this day at Woolwich, from her excursion to Blair
Athol, attracted, as is usual on all such occasions, a
great number of persons to that town, to get a glimpse
of the royal personages. It was stated that her Majesty
would arrive at Woolwich before noon, but long
ere that time large crowds were assembled in the town,
which were continually augmented as every fresh
steam-boat from London arrived with its crowded
deck. Groups of persons were to be seen in all direc-
tions near the point of debarkation casting anxious looks
down the river. They were, however, doomed to a
long disappointment, for it was not till half-past one
that the firing of cannon from the Waterman steam-
boat, No. 12, announced that the royal yacht was in
view.

The different official persons whose duty it is on
all such occasions as the-present to receive her Ma-
jesty, and the different officers of the garrison, were
prepared from an early hour ito'receive her Majesty ;
and when it became known that the royal yacht was
approaching, every arrangement for her reception
was executed in the most prompt and orderly
manner. As the splendid and powerful steam-
vessel appropriated to convey her Majesty and
her Royal Consort on their marine excursion neared
the, pier, a salute was fired from the Royal Arsenal,
and the band played the National Anthem. The
9th bat t Ilion of the Royal Artillery and the Sappers
and Miners were drawn up in front of the Arsenal,
and the Royal Marinep-were drawn up at the Dock-
yard, where her Majesty landed. It was now two
o'cloek, and a vast concourse of persons were assem-
bled in the Dockyard to welcome her Majesty, after
her sojourn in the north. Her Majesty, on landing,
was .received by Lord Bloomfield and Sir G. Cock-
burn, and several other officers of both services. The
bend played the Nationcl Anthem, and a salute
was fired from the Dockyard as her Majesty landed,
And loud and hearty cheers greeted the royal per-
sonages as they passed through the crowd of specta-
tors who were assembled on the occasion. Little
more than three week ssince we had occasion to
observe, with regret, that neither the Queen
nor Prince Albert looked as well as we
are sure her loyal and loving subjects would
wish; but we are now happy to state that the northern
air and the sea breezes seemed to have agreed with
the royal couple, for as her Majesty appeared " fresh
from ocean," she seemed to enjoy the best health.
Her Majesty looked extremely well, as did also Prince
Albert. There were five carriages in readiness, and a
party of the 17th Lancers, Rho arrived in 'Woolwich
yesterday from Hounslow, which formed the royal
cortege. They were drawn up at a short distance
from the pier. Her Majesty and Prince Albert and
the Princess Royal entered the first carriage. The
Earl of Liverpool,. the Earl of Aberdeen,
ant the other individuals who accompanied
her Majesty, occupied the other carriages, which
drove to the terminus of the Great `Western Railway,
at Paddington. At Greenwich the usual preparations
were made in honour of her Majesty by the authori-
ties there; and along the road from Woolwich to the
terminus at Paddington her Majesty was received
with every demonstration of respect and affection.
