day on the Senate, to present 60,000 florins, as the subscrip-
tion from Vienna, 40,000 of these being the gift of the Em-
peror of A ti,tria. 1 enclose you the copy of a letter from that

THE SENATE TO THE EDIPEROR OF AUSTRIA.
" Mort August, most Powerful, most Gracious Emperor,
K rig, and Lord,—Your Imperial Majesty has been mos gra-
' thously pleased to express, through the medium of your Ma-
jesty's embassy, the most touching sympathy concerning the
conflagration by which God in his inscrutable wisdom, has
laid a great part of our town in ashes. Your Imperial Ma-
jt sty has at a moment when your Majesty's subjects wet e trot
spared from a similar calamity, been pleased to evince thissym-
pathy by a call for subscriptions within the whole compass of
your dominions. Ovemlielmned with feelings of gratitude fcr
the syrnyathy with which princes and people of the German
Fatherland have made the re-establishment of the well-being
of our city a national concern, we feel ourselves above all en-
couia,„,,ed to hopeful anticipations for the future, since the de-
scendant of the August Imperial House to which the citizens
of Hamburgh were immemorially attached has seen fit to af-
fix his imperial seal to the sympathy of the Fatherland. On
the mit oils wall of the ltathhaus the chiseled effigies of tt.e
Emperors yet lock out from the ruins: so will also in our
hearts the nand of the most devoted feeling which survived
the dissolutMn of the empire, not weakened in prosperity, but
invigorated anew by the sympathy shown us in the hour of ad-
versity. We remain, with profound veneration, your Im-
eriat Majesty's most faithful, the Senate of the free Hans
'1 own, Ilamhurgh,
(Signed) " BARTELS, Dr.,
President of the Senate."
REPLY FROM THE EMPEROR TO THE SENATE OF HAMBLIRGII.
Well Respected and Right Wise,— The letter by which
you expressed to me your feeling concerning the measures
taken by me after the fatal conflagration, has given me true
satisfaction, inasmuch as it proves to me that my sincere desire
for the well- being of the free city and its inhabi.ants is truly
appreciated. My Minister will to-day acquit himself of the
commissien of delivering to you the first results of the collec-
tion in my capital, in w hich I have mys If participated. Re-
ceive once mt.re the assurance of the painful.participation with
which 1 received the tidings of the misfortune that has fallen
upon Hamburgh ; as also, on the other hand, the expression of
the cheering hope which 1 nourish that, with the help of God,
and the whole fatherland, the ancient unanimity of the town,
and the energy of her respectable burghers, will soon cicatrise
t ese heavy wounds. Gladly do I renew to you also on this
occasion the assurance of the most perfect esteem, with which
I remain, (Signed) " FERDINAND."
Vienna, June 2, 1842."

IEER MAJESTY'S FIRST TRIP BY

RAIL

On Monday her Majesty the Queen, for the first time, re-
turned from her sojourn at Windsor Castle, accompanied by
her illustrious consort, Prince Albert, Count Mensdorf, &c., by
way ut the Gnat Western Railway. 'the intention of her
Majesty to return to town by railroad was first intimated to the
authorities at Paddington on Saturday afternoon, and in conse-
quence preparations on an extensive scale were ordered to be
made for the transit of the Royal pair from Slough to the Pad-
dington terminus, which were carried into effect with the
gnatest secrecy. Immediately after the departure of the day
mail train from Paddington, at a quarter past ten o'clock, the
Roy al train, consisting of the " Phlegethon" engine and tender,
drawing the Royal saloon in the centre of two Royal saloon
carriages, preceded by a secknd-class carriage, and followed by
three carriage trucks, started from the terminus at Paddington
for Slough, which station they reached shortly betore eleven
o'clock. Previously to, the departure from Paddington, the
Royal saloon, the fittings of which are upon a most elegant and
magnificent scale, were tastefully improved by bouquets of rare
flowers arranged within the carriage. At Slough, the Royal
'arty on their arrival at the station a few minutes before twelve
o'clock in six carriages, were received by Mr. C. Russell (the
Chairman), Mr. F. P. Bartrvr, one of the Directors, and Mr.
C. Saunders, the Secretary of the Railway Company, and con-
ducted to the splendid apartments at the station designed for
the reception of Royalty. Her Majesty, however, during the
delay necessarily occasioned by the placing the carriages
of the attendants on the trucks, &c., proceeded to the line, and
examined the Royal Saloon, inquiring very minutely into the
whole of the arrangements, and precisely at twelve o'clock the '
train left Slough for Paddington, Mr. Gooch, the principal of
the locomotive department, accompanied by Mr. Bruner, the
engineer, driving the engine.
At Paddington by 11 o'clock the centre of the wide space
apportioned for the arrival of the incoming trains was parted
off fear the reception of the Royal and illustrious visitors, and
covered by a crimson carpet, wh ch reached from one end of
the platform to the other • the whole of the arrangements for
the reception of the Royal being under the superintend..
ence of Mr. Seymour Clark, the Superintendent of the line,
assisted by Superintendent Collard, of the Company's police.
Captain Hay, the Assistant Commissioner of Metropolitan
Police, and Superintendent Lincoln, and a large party of the
D division were also present. Before 12 o'clock large num-
hers of elegantly-cressed ladies, consisting of the families and
friends of the Directors and officers of the Company, were
arrived from the
ranged on each side of the part apportioned for the arrival of
the Royal train, and at five minutes before 12 o'clock her
