THE QUEEN'S VISIT Tp NORTHAMPTON. —Our
readers will learn with inexpressible delight that our de-
servedly beloved and popular Queen will pass through
this town on her way to Burghley, on Tuesday, the 12th
instant. It is understood that the Lord Lieutenant and
the High Sheriff will meet her Majesty and Prince Albert
at Weedon. The royal visit to Burghley is not expected
to exceed three days. It is not improbable that her
Majesty, in her way back to Windsor, may pass through
Peterborough, where the preceptor of her youth is now
the much honoured and esteemed Bishop. We have been
led to understand that at, or previous
,to her Majesty's
arrival at Kettering, the troop of Yeomanry under the
command of Captain Maunsell, M.P., will probably have
the honour of becoming her Majesty's escort. An ex-
pression used by her Majesty on Monday last, wherein
she declares that the " relief of the indigent, the ad-
vancement of science, and the extension of commerce,
were objects near to her heart," together with the ex-
ample of Prince Albert in his encouragement, as
farmer, of agriculture, show the real blessings which
peace and a mild reign are producing upon the country,
and upon man's affections and feelings. A county meet-
ing, we hear, will be called by the High Sheriff, when
we shall witness the first public declaration of loyalty
with which her Majesty's arrival will be greeted. We
will only repeat the hope we expressed last week, that in
this town the example of her Majesty should be fol-
lowed by a " relief of the indigent," so that the poorest
family in our streets may have a happy home on the day
when Owl
r liinthhearted Qneen honours their town with
her presence.—Northampton Herald.
