DEPARTURE OF THE QUEEN
FROM SCOTLAND.

Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite left Blair
Athol at nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, passed
through Dunkeld and Cupar Angus, and reached
Dundee at half-past three. Her Majesty was re-
ceived by the local authorities, several of whom, in-
cluding
the Provost and magistrates, had gone for-
ward to Lochee to meet the royal cavalcade ; but
some accident happened to the vehicle which contained
the Provost and his companions, and they were ac-
cordingly prevented from taking their part in the
pageant.
On arriving at the superb structure in the form of
a triumphal arch, which was erected on the occasion
of her Majesty's landing here, her Majesty was
loudly applauded by the people. Her Majesty wore
a black silk dress and black bonnet, with a shepherd's
plaid thrown over her shoulders. The Prince was
attired in half mourning, as was also the Princess
Royal, who accompanied her royal parents as they
walked through the reckless crowds who thronged
the quays in unrestrained disorder.
At the top of the quay Dean of Guild Thorns apo-
logised to her Majesty for the absence of the Pro-
vost, and the greedy crowd, who are no respecters of
persons, and do not recognise the divinity which
hedges a Sovereign, began to press in upon her Ma-
jesty in awful confusion. Her Majesty preserved her
courage in the midst of all this danger, which cer-
tainly reflected much disgrace upon the authorities.
The 60th Rifles, however, who formed the guard of
honour at the Pierhead, seeing the imminence of the
danger, and the palpable insufficiency of the Dog-
berries and Verges, who quietly permitted this dis-
graceful scene to continue, came down towards the
floating pier, and kept the profanum vulgus at bay
with their bayonets.
With the crowd still passing around her, however,
her Majesty took a cordial farewell of Lord Glenlyon,
and he called out for the Hon. Captain James Mur-
ray, who came forward, and was warmly shaken by
the hand by her Majesty, and the Prince. Captain
Murray followed her Majesty to Woolwich in the
Eclair. Her Majesty having once more bid adieu to
Lord Glenlyon and his brother, Prince Albert led the
Princess Royal down to the pier, and Lord Charles
Wellesley and Sir E. Bowater handed her Majesty
to the barge, in which Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence
was in waiting to receive his illustrious charge. The
barge was then rowed off to the royal yacht, which
was smoking away in the offing; and within half an
hour the squadron got under weigh and steamed
down the Frith of Tay.
After a boisterous passage the fleet reached the
Nore at half-past nine on Thursday morning.
On passing Sheerness the Victoria and Albert was
saluted by the Camperdown flag-ship, moored at the
mouth of the Medway.

Off Shellhaven the royal yacht lay too and awaited
the arrival of the Black Eagle, which up to this point
had been about a mile in the rear. Here the latter
vessel took the lead, piloting the route of the Victoria
and Albert thenceforward to Woolwich.
The William Joliffe, Calais boat, the Red Rover,
the Duchess of Kent, and several other steamers met
the royal squadron in Gravesend Reach, and saluted
the presence of her Majesty, their respective crews
cheering the royal party (who still remained on deck)
most enthusiastically.

Ihe squadron arrived off Gravesend at a quarter
past twelve o'clock, and were received with a royal
salute from Tilbury Fort. Salutes were also fired
from batteries stationed at the various pier-heads; and
the progress of the royal yacht was observed by many
thousand spectators, who thronged every available
point along the shore from whence a glimpse could
be obtained.

The run from Gravesend to Woolwich occupied
about one hour and a half.

THE MA-MS.—SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 3.—The Royal
West India mail-packet the Dee left the river at 4 A.m.
this day, with the South American and West India
mails ; she was detained here since yesterday in conse-
quence of the mails from London not arriving until the
12 o'clock train last night. The Dee has 108 passen-
gers, 100 bottles of quicksilver, and 6,2241. in money.
The Oriental Company's steam-ship Oriental. Captain
Soy, left the docks this day at 4 o'clock for Alexandria,
carrying out the East India and China mails, also 130
passengers and a very full cargo of bale goods. The
Peninsular Company's steam-packet Royal Tar, Captain
Evans, left the docks at 3 o'clock this day for Gibraltar,
with the Peninsular and Mediterranean mails. The
Royal Tar has 131 passengers, including 99 men, con-
sisting of Sappers and Miners, for Gibraltar. This town
has been extremely full for the last two days, in conse-
quence of the vast numbers of passengers embarking,
together with their friends to see them off.
MRS. NISBETT.—It is said that the gentleman of
high rank in the Customs, to whom this celebrated and
accomplished actress is reported to be about to be united,
and in consequence of which she will not again resume
her professional duties, is Sir William Boothby, Bart.,
the Receiver-General of her Majesty's Customs, a gen-
tleman possessed of considerable private fortune, in ad-
dition to the emoluments arising from his official situa-
tion. If the report be correct, though her loss to the
stage, of which she was so great an ornament, will Le
much regretted, the public will doubtless be glad to find.
she has made so good an exchange for the anxieties and
labours of a professional life.
Tua ROYAL ALBERT.—On the 26th of August,
1842, the hull of a first-rate man-of-war, of 120 guns,
was laid down under the superintendence of Mr. Laing.
The frame is now half completed, and it is expected will
be finished by the end of the year. This noble vessel
will be larger in dimensions than any other ship ever
built in the world, and seven hundred tons more than
the Trafalgar, at present the largest ship in the British
navy. Sir George Cockburn and Admiral Sir William
Gage inspected the building yesterday morning, and both
gallant officers expressed in warm terms their admira-
tion of her appearance. This ship is being built on a
new and improved system, and in a stronger and firmer
manner than any other vessel which has been constructed.
THE VICTORIA PARK.—PUBLIC BATHS.—A Com-
munication is said to have been made from the Directors
of the East London Water-works to her Majesty's Com-
missioners of Woods and Forests, in which the former
very liberally offer to supply two or more fountains in
the Victoria Park with an abundant quantity of water
gratuitously, provided it is subsequently permitted to
flow into public baths to be erected in the vicinity for the
use and accommodation of the poor. Several benevolent
gentlemen, at the head of whom is W. Cotton, Esq., the
Governor of the Bank, are at present projecting a plan
for the erection of baths at the east end of the metro-
polis, where the poorer classes of society may be enabled
to obtain luxuries so conducive to health, and of which
they are at present totally deprived, at a charge com-
mensurate with their means.

GLASS BEADS.—Application having been made to
the Customs' authorities for the delivery of a large parcel
of beads or bugles of glass, the same having been pierced
half way through for the purpose of being formed into
breast pins, brooches, and necklaces, of which articles
large quantities are now imported, and sold in the ar-
cads and bazaars in town and country, which had been
entered as "glass beads" at the duty of ad. per lb., but
which the examining officers had detained as being liable
to the duty on " flint and cut glass," orders have been
issued for the geods to be delivered as " glass beads," as
entered, the Board considering that they had been cor-
rectly described by the importers, and directions have
been given to the officers to govern themselves in all fu-
ture importations of the article accordingly.
