QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.

DEPARTURE FROM EDINBURGH.

(From a Second Edition of the Edinburgh Obs ercer
of Tuesday.)
The sun dawned this morning auspiciously for the
further progress of Queen Victoria through these
northern districts of her empire. It being generally
known that her Majesty would leave Dalkeith Palace
this morning at nine o clock, and pass through Edin-
burgh on her way to Queensferry, many citizens
were on foot at an early hour in the morning, and
making inquiries as to the route she would take in
passing through or near the city.
Her Majesty's movements appear to be as punctual
as if regulated by machinery. The carriages were
ordered to be at the door of Dalkeith Palace at a
quarter before nine o'clock, and within a few minutes
thereafter she was on her progress northward. The
route her Majesty intended to take not being exactly
known, the general pressure was towards where it
was considered certain she must pass; and.shortly
after six o'clock this morning, the inhabitants began
to assemble at the head of Minto-street, Newington,
in the expectation that her Majesty would come
that way. The crowd continued to increase until
about twenty minutes from ten o'clock, when
her Majesty and suite made their appearance, and
were received with deafening cheers and waving of
handkerchiefs. The cortege then proceeded down
West Preston-street, by Hope Park, Buccleuch-
street, Bristo-street, Teviot-row, Lauriston, Home-
street, and Lothian-road. When opposite St. John's
Chapel, at a few minutes from ten, a Royal salute
was fired from the Castle, and answered by the
Daphne frigate. The thousands who by this time
had assembled gave an imposing effect to the scene,—
the air literally ra g with joyous acclamations. The
Royal party then proceeded along Queensferry-street,
and the Dean-bridge, to Craigleith toll-bar, where a
relay of horses were in attendance. The utmost re-
gularity prevailed throughout the whole line, the
police having ordered all carts and carriages to be
drawn aside to such places as would least inconveni-
ence the Royal progress. Mr. Sheriff Speirs met the
Royal party beyond Dean-bridge, and rode at a short
distance in front of her Majesty's carriage.
In anticipation of her Majesty passing onwards
from Dean-bridge, there were numerous individuals
and groups on the move along the Queensferry-road
from that point so early as seven o'clock ; and as a
friend of ours, who started at that hour in the same
direction, drove along, the pedestrians became nume-
:ous, and vehicles of all descriptions began to thicken
on the road, all in the same track towards the scene
of embarkation at Queensferry. The several roads
leading to the point of attraction were already
pouring in the population of the adjacent country,
in every variety of vehicle or on foot. The walls
of the plantation skirting the declivity on the Edin-
burgh road, began to be fringed with expectant
spectators, and clustering on the western brow of
Dalmeny Park, while, on either side of the inn, the
several classes of carriages were so arranged as to
keep the roadway and the area in front of the inn
completely clear for thg, approach of the Royal cor-
tege. The Sheriffs werFere long joined by the Earl
of Hopetoun, Lord-Lieutenant of the county, and his
brother, Mr. Hope, M.P., who, mounting their horses,
proceeded on the Edinburgh road to meet her Ma-
jesty. The Earl of Roseberry and Lord Dalmeny
also appeared on horseback, and Provost Wyld and
the other Magistrates of Queensferry took a station in
front of the inn at the top of the pier. The arrange-
ments made by the Sheriff for keeping order, and at
the same time affording the fullest accommodation,
were admirable ; and nothing could exceed the good
temper and courtesy of the policemen who were on
duty. The whole quay was kept vacant, as well as
the area betwixt it and the inn, and the bugle having
sounded about nine o'clock, the soldiers were in their
ranks facing the east in a line with the centre division
wall of the pier, while all who could not find room
elsewhere were spread out on the rocky beach east of
the quay, which was covered with a footway of
scarlet cloth from the upper to the lower end ; and
ere her Majesty arrived the assembled people were
clustered thickly all around in the most orderly man-
ner,
affording a pleasing picture of all grades of I
society among us.
Her Majesty arrived at Newhalls, amidst the cheer-
ing of the throng, and the waving of hats and blue
bonnets in abundance, precisely at five minutes to
eleven o'clock. Her Majesty was handed from her
carriage by Sir Neil Douglas, Commander of the
Forces, who, with.an aid-de-camp, had sometime pre-
viously appeared on the ground ; and Prince Albert,
alighting immediately, her Majesty leaning on his
arm, walked along the quay—the Lord Lieutenant
walking uncovered on her right hand, and the Earl
of Roseberry on the left of Prince Albert, and fol-
lowed soon after by Sir Robert Peel, Lord Aberdeen,
Lord Liverpool, and other distinguished personages
of her Majesty's suite.
The embarkation was in a few minutes accom-
plished, on board of the Queen Margaret steamer,
(the approach to the shore of a Royal steamer in the
offing being quite out of the question), and when the
Queen of the Wooden Walls of England stood on the
quarter deck of this humble bark, she was greeted
with renewed acclamations from the crowd, who by
this time had rushed along the quay in the ardour
of enthusiasm. These manifestations of loyalty, we
need scarcely add, were received by her Majesty and
Prince Albert with their accustomed grace and cour-
tesy. Only the Prince and two ladies accompanied
her Majesty in the boat, which bore her from the
shore of Lothian, and which took a westward sweep
for a considerable distance, partly perhaps to obtain a I
view of the surrounding beauties on either bank of
the Forth, and partly to afford time for the embarka- '
tion of the other official attendants, and the carriages
by another boat. For these another small steamer
and ferry boat were in readiness—and we were not a
little amused to see Sir Robert Peel takes his place in
the bow of the boat for the carriages. He was soon,
however, beckoned to the steamer. The tug and boat
cut right across, and having landed at the North Ferry
their passengers and freight, left the quay, while the
boat with her Majesty on board, after sailing east-
ward beyond InchFarvy, neared the pier, and disem-
barked at twelve o clock at noon, the Royal steamer
firing a salute, and the gathering on the quay and
heights of North Ferry greeting the landing by sig-
nals which we could see, but could not hear.

We understand that her Majesty intends to return
from her excursion to the Highlands on this day week,
after which she will again honour the Duke of Buc-
cleuch with a residence of five days.
THE ROYAL VOYAGE TO SCOTLAND.
We have seen a letter from an officer on board the
Royal squadron during the passage, which we hasten
to communicate to our readers. It must be remem-
bered that it is a private letter to a brother officer,
and not intended for the public eye; but, as contain-
ing authentic information on a subject in which all
feel so deep an interest at this moment, we trust we
shall he excused if we have committed a breach of
confidence in transferring it to our columns :
" Leith Roads, Sept. 1, 1842.
" God be praised ! Her Majesty arrived safely in
Leith Roads at half-past 1 o'clock this morning, and
at 9 landed safely at Granton Pier, warmly greeted
by thousands of her loyal Scotch subjects.
" The Rova 1 passage has been as favourable as
could possibly have been expected; not an accident
or a delay of any sort or kind ; not a rope-yarn
strained, nor even a carriage scratched. The news-
papers will already have told you of the embarkation
at Woolwich, on as unpromising a morning as I ever
witnessed. But the rain held up at the moment that
her Majesty approached, and not five minutes elapsed
between alighting from her carriage and being under
weigh in the Royal yacht—precisely at five minutes
before 7 o'clock.

" On entering Long Reach, and finding the river
tolerably clear of shipping, Lord Adolphus Fitz-
clarence ordered the Shearwater, Captain Washing-
ton, to take the yacht in tow, and the Black Eagle
to tow ahead of her ; and in this manner we pro-
ceeded, the three ships in line, without once slacken-
ing the halsers, till we dropped anchor in Leith Roads
in 66i hours from Woolwich.

" As we advanced down the river the day became
beautifully fine ; numberless vessels followed, all
dressed with flags. At Gravesend colours of every
nation were displayed by the shipping, the bells rang
a merry peal, the people loudly cheered, and the guns
of Tilbury Fort welcomed Ocean's Queen' with a
Royal salute, recalling the stirring times of Raleigh,

the scene extremely, noticing the various objects of
interest as they were pointed out by Lord Adolphus
Fitzclarence, and bowing repeatedly to the cheers of
the private steamers, which one after another ranged
alongside the yacht, and after taking leave with three
deafening huzzas now wheeled round, and retraced
their way towards London.
"The Royal George,
you are aware, is a beautiful
vessel; but, perhaps,
she was never seen to greater
advantage (except when under sail) than surrounded
by the steam flotilla which accompanied her ; her
light and beautiful form; which reposed on the water
like a swan, her yards admirably square, every rope
as taut as a harp-string, and her lofty and graceful
spars towering far above all, with the Royal Stan-
dard, ' the Meteor Flag a England,' floating majesti-
cally from her maintop-gallant masthead, completed a
model of symmetry and grace. •
Vie xpladion now bore away down the Swill, the

two steamers as beforementioned towing the yacht, fol-
lowed by the Rhadamanthus, Lightning, Fearless, and
Monkey, placed in order of sailing on each quarter of
the yac.lit, and accompanied by the Vestal, Trinity
yacht ; which latter excited general admiration by the
seamanlike manner in which she took up her position
and kept it throughout the whole of the voyage.
" Passing the remarkable Maplin Lighthouse, built
upon iron screw piles, apparently in the middle of the
sea, and receiving a ioyal salute from Walton-on-the-
Naze, the squadron arrived off Harwich harbour (the
safest on the eastern coast of England, and where, in
case of bad weather, we must have sought refuge) at
five o'clock. Here it was met by the Orion and River
Queen, Ipswich steamers ; the former, having on
board the Mayor and town authorities of Ipswich,
ranged up alongside, playing the national anthem, and
greeting her Majesty with loud huzzas. A little be-
yond we passed through a line of revenue cruisers,
under the command of Captain Jerningham and
Lieutenant Smith, R.N., who manned their rigging
and gracefully lowered their gaff top-sails and flags to
the Royal standard, while hundreds of white pocket-
handkerchiefs which loyally fluttered in the breeze, and
the thrilling cheers of an equal number of manly
hearts, proved their devoted attachment to their lovely
Queen. Foremost among them we distinguished a
group of youthful children, who, having imbibed
loyalty with their mother's milk, stretched out their
little arms towards their beloved Sovereign, and lisped
a blessing on her Royal head.
"Onwards swept the Royal yacht—Bawdsey,'Or-
ford, Alborough, were rapidly passed in succession,
and the last rays of the setting sun fell upon the con-
secrated yet crumbling towers of Dunwich, and illu-
mined all that now remains of the thirteen churches
of the former capital of the kingdom of East Anglia.
"At midnight we rounded the extreme eastern
point of England, guided by the brilliant light of
Lowestoffe, and, passing round the back of Yarmouth
Sands, steered through Ilasborough Gat, while the first
beams of light left upon the lofty cliffs of Cromer,
indistinctly seen through the morning mist.
"At nine o'clock we passed the Dudgeon light -
vessel, about thirty miles from Cromer, at noon were
off the Humber, and at five o'clock we had a glorious
view of the projecting view of the promontory of
Flamborough head, which boldly resists the waves of
the German Ocean, and affords the valuable shelter of
Bridlington Bay, to the numerous shipping which
trade along the eastern coast of Great Britain.
" The sea, during the whole of this time, was calm
as a mirror, and her Majesty and the Prince were
early on deck, enjoying the morning air. Shortly
after breakfast a telegraphic message announced that
Her Majesty and the Prince were perfectly well,' a
message which, I need not tell you, was received by
the whole squadron with three hearty cheers ; a signal
was then made, by command of her Majesty, to in-
quire after the health of the ladies, the Duchess of
Norfolk and Miss Paget, who were on board the
Black Eagle ; the answer was, With duty to her
Majesty, quite well.' A similar question was made
to the Lords in Waiting, &c., who were on board the
Rhadamanthus, the answer to which caused general
merriment throughout the squadron, All well, and
the Lord Steward eating monstrously.'
" By means of Watson's signals the Royal yacht
communicated with the station at Flamborough Head;
and, I believe, received news of the health of the
Royal infants. I have not mentioned that out of
every port along the coast, boats, and sailing vessels,
and steamers, came to pay homage to their Queen ;
but, perhaps, the most remarkable were the Aldbo-
rough yawls, which rowed out a long distance off the
land, and cheered manfully as we passed them close
alongside, about nine o'clock—and on the Humber a
simple fisherman, with a venerable bald head, held up
a fine fish with oth his hands, as the only homage he
had to offer to his Queen ; this act was kindly ac-
knowledged by Prince Albert..

" Onwards steered the gallant fleet as the shades of
evening closed on the white and conspicuous build-
ings of Scarborough. As the squadron passed along
the land, her Majesty from time to time referred to
the beautiful charts of the coast, which have been re-
cently published by the Hydrographic-office at the
Admiralty, and a copy of which was mounted and
folded in a convenient form expressly for this occasion.

" During the night the wind freshened from the
northward, and rather delayed our progress ; still we
passed along all the coast of Yorkshire and of Dur-
ham, and at eight o'clock on the morning of the last
day of August we stood in to the land at the entrance
of the Tyne, and had a distinct view of Tynemouth
Cliff and Castle; hence we continued alongshore about
five miles off the coast, passingc, Blyth, Newbiggin,
and Cresswell, backed by the heights of Simonside,
Bradham, and Shaftham, and the more distant range
of the great Cheviots, rising nearly 3,000 feet above
the sea.

" At two we passed close to Coquet Island, and had
an excellent view of the far-famed Castle of Wark-
worth. At three a Royal salute from Howick greeted
her Majesty as she passed, and the Percy banner,
gracefully drooping from the lofty tower of Alnwick
Castle, evidenced at once the loyalty of its owners to
their Sovereign and their devoted attachment to their
former Royal charge.

" Dunstanborough Castle next showed itself, and
shortly after the whole squadron swept, at the rate of
ten miles an hour, through the narrow passage be-
tween the Fern Islands and the main, having on the
left the stately structure of Bamborough Castle, re-
nowned for its charitable institution for shipwrecked
seamen, on the right the three Fern Island light-
houses, and the Longstone, the scene of Grace Dar-
ling's gallant exploit ; while, before us, on St. Cuth-
beth's iloly Isle,' rose the ruins of the Castle and
Cathedral of Lindisfarne— _

" A solemn, huge, and dark-red pile,
Placed on the margin of the isle;
The castle with its battled walls,
The ancient monastery's halls.'
This was, perhaps, one of the most interesting points
of the whole voyage ; the proximity of the shore on
either hand, the rapid speed of the vessels as they
swept past, hurried along by a strong ebb tide, the
mingled roar of the cannon of Bamborough Castle,
and the loyal cheers of the island fishermen who sur-
rounded the squadron in their boats, gave an animation
to the scene that it is difficult to describe, while the
classic associations connected with Warkworth and
Lindisfarne and the Tweed, the remembrance that
the antique and venerable ruins of the abbey and
cathedral church of Lindisfarne were once that ' holy
place' were episcopacy and Christianity were first
permanently established in Northumberland, were
well calculated to make a lasting impression on a
mind so susceptible of deep emotions as that of our
youthful Queen ; nor could it be entirely effaced from
some of our recollections, that only five days later in
the season, on this very spot, had occurred the fearful
wreck of the Forfarshire steamer, when 38 persons
perished, and caused us to offer up silently, yet fer-
vently, a prayer that no harm might happen to the
precious freight intrusted to our charge.
" Onwards sped the Royal bark, and, passing Ber-
wick-on-the-Tweed, her -Majesty for the first time
bad a view of her Scottish dominions, of Caledonia,
stern and wild' perhaps at first sight, but containing
within her mountain fastnesses and along the border
of her lakes a moral, brave, and educated people, as
devotedly attached to their Sovereign and their
country as any on the face of the earth, and grati-
fied beyond expression at the opportunity now
afforded them of testifying their loyalty to her Ma-
jesty in person.
" A light westerly breeze now enabled the yacht to
set her headsails; we rapidly approached St. Abb's
Read, and shortly after sunset got sight of the remark-
able mountains of the Bass-rock and the North Ber-
wick Law, and entered the Firth of Forth. 'Jere the

coming over the water,
had a beautiful effect.

" The breeze freshened from the north-west; but
the flood-tide enabled the squadron to make good
headway ; when off Dunbar, besides the illumination
of that town, and a Royal salute from the Castle, the
magnificent sight burst upon us, of beacon-fires
lighted on all the conspicuous Scottish hills, and
was imposing in the extreme. The night was
quite dark, but clear ; astern, were all the lights
of the several steamers, bending like a crescent
around the Royal yacht in the centre ; while on the
coast around, in East-Lothian, in Mid-Lothian, in
Linlithgow, in Fife, and Clackmannan, bonfires blazed
on all the remarkable heights, all announcing the
cordial welcome that awaited her Majesty from
Scotland and her Scottish subjects; while in Edin-
burgh, the summit of Arthur's Seat seemed a blaze
of fire, shedding a flood of light over the surrounding
heights and valley below, and giving an aspect of
wild grandeur to all its romantic scenery.
"It has fallen to my lot to witness beautiful illu-
minations in various parts of the world. I have seen
the cities of Rio de Janeiro, of Linua and of Santiago
lighted up in all their splendour; the city and all the
shores of the Bay of Naples, and even the dome of St.
Peter's at Rome, but I never remember anything that
has made so deep an impression as our passage up the
Firth of Forth on this occasion. The beautiful ex-
panse of water, the brilliant lights around, the rapid
speed of the vessels, throwing off the phosphoric waves
on either bow, as we passed along; the recollection
of the precious freight intrusted to our charge, and
the feeling that through the merciful Providence of
God we had been enabled to bring our voyage to a
happy end, all combined to render the scene one of
thrilling interest far beyond my powers of expression.
" Precisely at half-past one o'clock we dropped
anaor close to the island of Inchkeith."

BONFIRE on the TOP of BENEVIS.

Although the loyal inhabitants of Fort William
and its neighbourhood could not vie with those of many
other parts of Scotland, in the extent and variety of
their rejoicings, yet they resolved to outstrip every
other community in the loftiness of the pile they
should raise to welcome Queen Victoria's first visit to
this her ancient kingdom. Accordingly, actuated by
a keen spirit of loyalty, activity, and perseverance,
tar-barrels, and other materials were, with much dif-
ficulty and danger, conveyed to the top of " Old Ben,"
the highest mountain in her Majesty's dominions, and
a bonfire there lighted up, which, had the weather
been propitious, might have slanted down a cheering
ray of recognition and welcome on Benmacdhu, Ben-
lomond, the Ochills, or even Arthur's Seat and the
Castle of "Auld Reekie."

While the bonfire blazed on the mountain a Royal
salute was fired from the old Castle of Inverlochy (now
the property of the Hon. R. C. Scarlett), around
whose ancient walls an immense concourse of people
had assembled to witness the rejoicings, and dedicate
a bumper of the real mountain dew (from Benevis dis-
tillery, the most famed for its whisky in the three
kingdoms) to the health, long life, and happiness of our
young Queen, and a hearty welcome to her and Prince
Albert, on the shores of old Scotia.
Apart from the cause of our rejoicings, the asso-
ciations connected with the spot—the old castle,
where treaties are said, once on a time, to have
been signed betwixt Charlemagne of France and
the early Kings of Scotland, with the battle-field
betwixt Montrose and Argyll immediately under
its walls, the noble river, and the wild grandeur of
the surrounding mountain scene, all combined to stir
up no ordinary emotions, and give no ordinary
character to the proceedings of this eventful day.
Notwithstanding the latter part of the evening was
somewhat damp and hazy, still this circumstance
neither checked the ardour nor concealed the loyalty
of the Highlanders. At this moment the mist hung
in dense columns around the rugged sides of " the
lofty Benevis," to within a short • distance of its
summit; over which now and then a passing cloud
obscured from our view the burning pile, which at
intervals blazed forth with Vesuvian splendour,
setting at utter defiance the dark shades of night
that now rapidly set in, while:each gun, as it boomed
forth its thunder to the mountains, followed by the
hearty cheers of the multitude, made the wild glens
of Locheil, Ardour, and Glennevis, echo back the
chorus with enchanting grandeur.
Thus passed by a memorable day in the West High-
lands, our regrets being loud and long that we had
neither Royalty to witness, nor Christopher North to
describe, the magnificence of the spectacle by which
we were surrounded.—Scotch Paper.

FUNERAL OF DR. IRELAND.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
It having been announced that the body of the late
Dean of Westminster would be interred immediately
after the usual Morning Prayers yesterday, shortly
after the opening of the doors the choir of the Abbey
was completely filled, and before the service was con-
cluded there was scarcely standing room. A few
minutes after ten the voices of the choristers were heard
chanting, as they entered the nave from the cloisters,
the opening sentences of the Burial Service, " I am
the resurrection," &c. The scene then became very
impressive, when viewed from the organ gallery ; a long
procession, headed by the almsmen and vergers, then the
choir, the Canon and Prebends, feathers, and the corpse,
followed by mourners, came slowly up the nave.
Upon the coffin being placed on tressels, just within
the gates of the choir, Prayers commenced, the 39th
and 90th Psalms being substituted for those appointed
for the day, and the lesson from the Burial Service for
the second for the day; these were the only deviations.
The Anthem was that selectedtfrom the latter part of
the 90th Psalm, and the whole of the choir being pre-
sent, the service was beautifully performed. At the
conclusion the procession was re-formed, and pro-
ceeded up the south aisle to the grave, which had
been prepared at the south-west junction of the nave and
transept. Here the choir and clergy formed a circle,
and the sentences, " Man that is born of a woman,"
were sung, accompanied by the organ, at which Mr.
Turle presided. The Sub-dean (Lord John Thynne)
then stepped forward to the foot of the grave, and read
that part of the service, " Forasmuch as it has
pleased ;" after which the singing boys chanted, " I
heard a voice," accompanied as before. His Lordship
then proceeded with the appointed Prayers, which were
followed by Croft's Anthem, " When the ear," at
the conclusion of which the blessing was pronounced.
This terminated a ceremony almost as imposing as
the last, which, but a fortnight since, occurred within
the same building, to the sorrow of many who had
for years participated in Dr. Ireland's extensive
charities.

GLENBUCSET, SEPT. 1.--A wish having been ex-
pressed by the Earl of Fife that the tenantry on his es-
tates should express their loyalty and attachment to our
gracious and beloved Queen on her arrival in the ancient
kingdom of Scotland, no sooner was this known, than
thd people of this
Parish, animated with one spirit
to mark their respect for their noble and generous
landlord, and love and attachment to their Queen
and country, met on the evening of the 31st ultimo, at
the top of Craignscore, 2,000 feet above the level
•of the sea, whence an immense bonfire gleamed far over
the surrounding country. The health and happiness of
our beloved Queen, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales,
