THE VISIT OF THE QUEEN TO
PORTSMOUTH.
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY EVENING.—The first place in-
spected by his Royal Highness Prince Albert yesterday, who
was accompanied by Duke Ferdinand, Prince Augustus,
and Prince Leopold, (and not by the Duke of Wel-
lington, as was stated yesterday), was the block manu-
factory, where a ten-inch single block was taken in its rough
state and perfected in a few minutes, in his presence. The
next place visited was the anchor forge, where one of the arms
was put to the shank of an anchor weighing four and a half tons,
belonging to an 80-gun ship. This was effected in six minute,.
The royal party next saw the copper rolled, and copper nails
made, and afterwards went over the inside of the Prince Albert
nosv on the stocks. His Royal Highness was then shown the
other vessels that are being built. His Royal Highness re-
turned to the Admiral's house about six o'clock.
A slight mishap occurred to the Duke of Wellington while
on board the St. Vincent—a mishap which might have been
attended with very serious consequences to the illustrious
General. His Grace, on going down the hatchway, missed his
footing, but fortunately recovered himself when he had fallen
but a couple of steps, sustaining only a trifling hurt on the knee.
The banquet last evening was of the most sumptuous de-
scription, and a port:on of it was, it is right to state, composed
of numerous presents which had been made during the day by
the tradesmen of the town.
The illuminations were very general —almost every house,
in fact, in the main thoroughfare, from the Point to Land-
port, a distance of about a mile and a half, being lighted tip.
Among the illuminations were numerous ingenious and elegant
dev:ces in variegated oil lamps and transparencies. The rain
arid wind that prevailed were a sad disappointment to a large
number of those who had taken immense pains to emulate
their neighbours in the splendour of their illuminations.
The Common-hard, which those acquainted with Ports-
mouth will recollect faces the harbour, presented to
the inhabitants of Gosport a very brilliant appearance,
At ten o'clock the ships in the harbour were illumi-
nated, under the orders of the Lords of the Admiralty. The
yards, mast-heads, rigging, and ports, were hung with white
and blue lights, the Sr. Vincent having the extremely bril-
liant long lights invented by Captain Stevens, of the Royal
Marine Artillery. The effect was very grand, and her Majesty,
who viewed the illumination from the Admiral's house, ex-
pressed herself much pleased with it, particularly noticing the
splendid appearance of the long lights. Among the more
conspicuous of the illuminations were those at the Governor's
house, the Barracks, the Custom-house, the George Inn and
the Star and Garter, the latter o: which has been known for
the last century as a naval house. The floating bridge was
also illuminated, and the effect, as the bridge moved to and fro,
was extremely novel and pless:ng.
Added to the attractions of the evening was a variety of
fireworks let off from the Semaphore, different parts of the
town, and the shipping. From the latter a considerable num-
ber f rockets were fired off.
Her Majesty retired at the usual hour (eleven o'clock) and
rose shortly before seven this morning.
Shortly after eight o'clock this morning, his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, accompanied by Duke Ferdinand, Prince Au-
gustus, and Prince Leopold, embarked at the Dockyard in
the Admiralty barge, and crossing over to Gosport, spent some
timtin inspecting the victualling department.
Wer Majesty held a levee at half-past nine o'clock, and re-
ceived va,kves of the naval officers belonging to the vessels
lying in the harbour.
At a few minutes before ten o'clock three of the Royal car-
riages drove into the Dockyard, and her Majesty and the Royal
p3rty proceeded in them to the jetty. where the Black Eagle
was lying in readiness to proceed with the illustrious visitors to
the Queen, at Spithead.
Her Majesty embarked on board the Black Eagle precisely
at ten o'clock, a Royal salute of twenty-one guns being fired
from the Admiral's ship, St. Vincent. As her Majesty stepped
into the steamer, the cheers of those who had been so fortunate
as to obtain orders of admission into the Dock-yard, were most
enthusiastic.
Her Majesty was accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, the Duke of gaze Coburg and his two sons Prince
Augustus and Prince Leopold, the Duke of Wellington, Lord
Liverpool, Lord Haddington, Count Schomberg, Captain
Zaitsch, Lady Portman, Hon. Mr. Anson, Hon. Sydney Her-
bert, Sir George Cockburn, Sir Wm. Gage, Admiral Sir E.
Codrington, and the three Misses Codrington, Col. Buckley,
Col. Wylde, Sir Hercules Pakenham, Captain Codrington, and
nearly the whole of the distinguished dinner-guests at the
Admiralty House last evening.
Notwithstanding a thick drizzling rain fell at the time of
her Majesty's embarkation, the distinguished party remained
upon deck. Her Majesty occupied a prominent seat upon deck,
and was greeted with repeated bursts of most enthusiastic
cheering from those who thronged the jetty and every availaMe
space skirting the harbour. The scene was rendered peculiarly
interesting by the anxious care and solicitude with which the
" hero of a hundred fights," in a spirit of devoted loyalty and
attachment, protected his fair mistress from the inclemency of
the weather by holding an umbrella above her.
The splendid band of the Royal Marines struck up " Rule
Britannia," as the Black Eagle, which was commanded by
Commander Blowe, quitted the harbour for Spithead, and
royal salutes were fired from the platform arid Fort itionck-
ton. Astern of the steamer was the Admiralty barge, with
the flag of the Lord High Admiral, Admiral Co. rington's
barge, and other barges bearing various Admirals' flags or
having their pennants flying.
Upon arriving off Spithead, the Royal party proceeded
round the Queen, 110, Formidable, 84, and Alfred, 50, and,
having fully viewed those fine vessels, the Black Eagle brought
to. They afterwards went on board the Queen, and remained
in her upwards of an hour and a quarter.
Upon her Majesty approaching Spithead the sides of the
Vessels were manned by the officers, and the yard-arms pre-
sented a gallant array of " hearts of oak." The Admiralty
ship Alfred fired a royal salute, and the r )yal standard was
struck in the Black Eagle and hoisted on board the Queen.
Her Majesty and the illustrious party were received by Ad-
miral Sir Edward Owen and Captain Rich, with the other
officers, on board the Queen, and a splendid dejeuner a la
fourehelte was laid out upon the tables in the state cabin.
They were conducted over every part of this noble ship,
which has above 900 men on board, and will sail on Sunday
next for the Mediterranean. Her Majesty and her Royal Con-
sort expressed themselves in terms of admiration at the state
of the vessel and the appearance of the crew, who were about
to have their dinners, consisting of soup and " three-water.
grog" served out.
The distinguished visitors remained to see this proceeding
carried out, when her Majesty tasted the soup and grog,
and remarked with a smile that the latter " was not
strong enough." About a quarter to one o'clock the Royal
party returned to the jetty of the Dockyard, at which time
Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence and a number of fashionablos were
upon tie King's stairs, and heartily greeted her Majesty.
The Royal visitors having entered three carriages, imme-
diately drove up to the Admiralty House, where her Majesty
and Prince Albert partook of a substantial luncheon.
Previous to her Alajesty's return from Spithead, the Mayor
and Corporation of Portsmouth had arrived at the Dockyard in
thirteen carriages, to present addresses to the Queen and
Prince Albert.
The addresses were carried up by D. Howard, Esq., the
• Mayor , the Chamberlain, E. Jackson, Esq., and Town Clerk,

Her Majesty, according to previous arrangement, granted
the Mayor and Corporation an audiance in the drawing-room
of the Admiralty House, when the following loyal and dutiful
Address was presented to her :
"TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
" Most gracious Sovereign, •
" May it prease your Majesty,—We, your Majesty's faithful sub-
jects, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the borough of Ports.
mouth, humbly beg leave, on an occasion of much joy and grati-
fication to the inhabitants at large, to approach your Royal person,
to offer to your Majesty the grateful homage of loyal and affec-
tionate subjects, and at the same time to express the deep sense
we entertain of the honour which your Majesty and your Illustrious
Consort have been pleased to confer on this ancient borough by the
visit that allows to us the opportunity of tendering your Majesty
our unfeigned respects, and which at this particular juncture cannot
fail to be peculiarly gratifying to those engaged in the naval branches
of your Majesty's service, and to all who may be in any manner
connected with them.
" We desire most earnestly to assure your Majesty of the lively
interest we feel in all that concerns your Majesty's welfare, and we
ardently pray that your Majesty and your Royal Consort may long
continue to enjoy every earthly blessing; and that your Majesty's
reign may be eminently distinguished by being successfully direct, d
to the advancement of the prosperity and happiness of the nation.
" Given tu.der the common seal of the borough, the 28th day of

To which her Majesty was graciously pleased to return the
following reply
" I thank you for this loyal and dutiffil address.
" It is with great satisfaction that I have availed myself of an
opportunity of visiting this ancient borough, and of personally in-
specting establishments intimately connected with the naval ser-
vice of the country, and with the glorious success that has so re-
peatedly shed-lustre on our naval annals."
The address to his Royal Highness Prince Albert was then
read by the Town .clerk as follows :
"To HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT FRANCIS AU-
GUSTUS CHARLES EMANUEL., DUKE OF SAXE, PRINCE OF
SAXE COBURG AND GOTHA.
" May it please your Royal Highness,
"We, her Majesty's faithful subjects, the Mayor, Aldermen, and
Burgesses of the borough of Portsmouth, desirous of testifying the
sentiments we entertain towards your Royal Highness, as the illus.•
thous consort of our Most Gracious and beloved Sovereign, beg
leave most respectfully to assure your Royal Highness that it affords

joyous satisfaction we feel, in common with all classas; of her Ma.
iesty's subjects, in having the honour of her Majesty's presence with
your Royal Highness amongst us.
" Given under the common seal of the borough, the 211th day
of February, 1842."
His Royal Highness returned the following answer to the
address :
" I thank you sincerely for this address.
" It is with no ordinary interest that I have availed myself of
this opportunity of visiting Portsmouth, a town which is so closely
associated with many of the proudest days of our naval history from
the prominent position it holds in this great naval country.
" I shall always look back upon this interesting visit with plea-
sure upon the loyal cordiality with which we have been welcomed
by the inhabitants of Portsmouth."
Congratulatory addresses were agreed to by the inhabitants
of Portsmouth and Gosport ; but upon application being made
to the Queen for the purpose of learning when it would please
her gracious Majesty to receive the same, an answer was re-
turned by the Hon. Mr. Anson, stating that time would not
permit her Majesty to receive them personally. and that her
Maji sty was therefore desirous they should be sent to her
through the Secretary of State.
1 he following are the Addresses agreed to by the inhabitants
of Portsmouth, upon this memorable and interesting occasion :
TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
