FATAL OCCURRENCE.—Last evening, shortly after
six o'clock, the following dreadful occurrence took place
in the Walworth-road, by which one person was killed,
and another so seriously- injured, that little hopes are
entertained of his recovery appears that two per-
sons, of the names of Thomas Grey and -- Stringer,
the former an assistant in the employ of his brother, Mr.
Grey, linon-draper, of the Waterloo-road, the other a
carman in the same gentleman's employ, were proceed-
ing in a light cart along Trafalgar. street, Walworth-
road, when they accidently came in contact with a post
at the corner of the street, by which they were both
thrown from their seats into the road, and a heavy waggon,
passing at the same moment, the wheels went over the
chest of Mr. Thomas Grey, and left thigh of Stringer.
Several persons on the spot hurried to render assistance,
but it was of no avail in the case of Grey, as he wail
quite dead. The other was immediately removed to the
nearest surgeon's, where it was found that the leg above
the knee was so crushed, that it is feared amputation
must. be resorted to, as the only means by which his life
can be preserved

HER MAJESTY'S LANDING. —At .70/
TEN o'CLocK, A.M.—The Royal yacht approached
Granton Pier this morning about eight o'clock, towed
' by the Black Eagle Ind Shearwater steamers. At
seven o'clock in the morning the signal gun was fired
from the Castle, and even at that early hour the
streets and the whole line of road leading to Granton
was thronged; but it being generally believed that
; the Royal party would not land until at least eleven
o'clock, thousands were quite unprepared for the un-
expected turn that circumstances took.
At a few minutes past eight the Royal yacht came
alongside of Granton Pier, and her Majesty and his
Royal Highness Prince Albert immediately after-
wards landed, in quite a private manner; indeed,
the 53d infantry and a squadron of the Inniskillen
Dragoons had pit arrived in time to aut:cipate the
event. The Royal Archers, the Queen's body guard,
were too late.
The Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council had
been summoned at an early hour ; but little dreaming
of the precipitancy of the Royal movements, they
were on their way to the barrier, when they were
informed that her Majesty had entered the gate, and
was far on her way through the city. As for the
other public bodies, none of them had even assembled
at the rendezvous, far less taken any part in the
Royal cavalcade.
Her Majesty entered an open carriage and four,
Prince Albert taking his seat on her left hand. The
Queen was attired in a pale blue dress with a pink
satin ea3ed bonnet and a white late shawl lined with
pink. Her Majesty wore her hair braided. Prince
Albert wore a large travelling cloak, with red collar,
and a white hat. Her Majesty and his Royal High-
ness looked remarkably well ; and notwithstanding
the early hour of the morning, and the dulness of
the weather, thousands were assembled at the Pier,
and received the Royal Pair with loud and enthusi-
astic shouts of welcome. Her Majesty bowed in the most
) courteous and affable manner to the crowds on each
'side, and Prince Albert repeatedly took off his hat
and acknowledged the cheers of the multitude. Two
other open carriages, containing the Ladies in Wait-
ing, and others of the Royal suite, followed her Ma-
jesty's carriage. A party of the Inniskillens pre-
ceded, and another followed the Royal cortege ; the
53d Infantry followed. At half-past nine o'clock,
when her Majesty was passing the statue of George
IV. in George-street, a Royal salute was fired from
the Castle. .
Sir Neil Douglas, Commander of the Forces in
Scotland, rode close to the Royal‘carriage, attended
by several of the North British staff, The Royal
Archers, the Queen's body-guard, were on their way
to Granton Pier when thay met the Royal cortege,
which they joined, walking in single file on each side.
Her Majesty's carriage moved at a very smart pace,
so that the Archers and Infantry had to march at
double quick time in order to keep up with the
cavalcade. • -

The scaffoldings-along the line were scarcely half
filled, few imagining that her Majesty would be so
early astir and in the midst of her subjects; never-
theless, the greetings along Pitt-street, Dundas-
street, and Prince's-street, were loud and reiterated,
her Majesty and Prince Albert continuing without
intermission to acknowledge the homage ; but so rapid
was the pace, so early the hour, and so unexpected the
whole affair, that we need not say, the effect fell far
short of what might have been expected, had the
landing been delayed for an hour, and ample premo-
nition given. As it was, the authorities, and indeed
every one, were taken by surprise, and those who did
obtain a sight of their Sovereign, owed it to their good
fortune, for public arrangement there was none.
At the time the Royal cortege passed the Register
Office, thousands were pouring along the South and
North Bridges, but only to meet with disappointment.
Numbers rap to the Calton Hill, in the hope of obtain-
ing a glimpse of the interesting spectacle, but, with
few exceptions, were baffled in their expectations.
The Celtic Society, in the full costume of their re-
spective clans, under the command of that spirited
young Nobleman the Marquis of Lorne and Islay as
their Lieutenant, were drawn up in front of the
Waterloo Hotel, where they saluted her Majesty in
Highland fashion. The garb of the Highlanders is at
all times imposing, but upon this occasion the dresses
were more than usually splendid.
We cannot convey any idea of the scene which fol-
lowed. People looked at each other in foolish amaze-
ment ; and various of the public bodies, who were in-
dividually repairing to their respective rendezvous,
were arrested on the spot, and stood looking around
them with vacant gaze.
The Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council, in
their doubt and extremity, ordered their carriages to
drive round to the Regent-terrace, so as to intercept
the Royal progress ; but in the circumstances they re-
ceived no special notice, beyond the gracious acknow-
ledgments which were paid to all around. We should
have stated, that in proceeding along Princes'-street,
the Royal carriage stopped for a few seconds opposite
the monument in the course of erection to the me-
mory of Sir Walter Scott. Here the cheering was
tremendous, and her Majesty looked around in appa-
rent astonishment at the preparations made for her
reception.
The Town Council are now in deliberation with
closed doors, and we understand an animated discus-
sion is going on, the result of which we shall endea-
vour to give in a third edition, along with any other
farther particulars which may reach us. At present
the streets are crowded with people.
Half-past Eleven.
We have just learned that the Town Council have
come to the resolution of proceeding to Dalkeith
Palace in a body—we presume to wait on Sir Rober
Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, and the Duke of Bue-
clench, with a view of soliciting an audience of her
Majesty, and receiving the Royal pleasure as to a
procession and other proceedings to-morrow.
Mercury Office, 3 P.M.
The following public notice has been issued by the
Lord Provost :
" Owing to the early hour at which the Queen
landed this morning, the arrangements made yester-
day for informing the public of her Majesty's entry
into the city could not be carried through ; and the
Council having subsequently met, resolved on pro-
ceeding forthwith to Dalkeith Palace, with the view
of representing to her Majesty their regret that the
keys had not been delivered at the Barrier, and that
the public had not had the anticipated opportunity of
testifying their loyalty and devoted attachment to
her Majesty.

" JAMES FORREST, Lord Provost.
" Council Chambers,

" Ist September, 1842, One o'Clock."
Her Majesty and Prince Albert arrived at Dalkeith
Palace about eleven o'clock, entering by the Lugton
approach. The beautiful demesne was thronged with
ladies and gentlemen, admitted by tickets, who en-
thusiastically cheered the Royal pair. Immediately
on the auspicious event being announced in Dalkeith,
the bells rang a merry peal, and a union jack was
hoisted on the steeple. The town was crowded to
excess, and great preparations are making for a ge-
neral illumination this evening.
THE DRAWING ROOM.
When our Reporters left Dalkeith, the Lord Pro •
vost and. Council were still in the Palace ; but they
were informed, from authority, that it had been de-
cided by Ministers, that the Levee announced for to-
morrow at Holyrood House, should not take place,
in consequence of its having been represented, by
medical authority, that scarlet fever prevailed in the
vicinity. In these circumstances the Queen has re-
solved to hold a Drawing-room at Dalkeith Palace on
Monday, resting there from the fatigues of her voy-
age during the whole of to-morrow.
Bailie Richardson and Adam Black, Esq., arrived
at the Palace, about one o'clock, in a carriage and
four, with state liveries, and shortly after were fol-
lowed by nearly the whole Members of Council in
open carriages, that containing the Lord Provost
be:mg drawn by six horses.
The Duke of Argyle, with some members of his
fitriily, arrived at Dalkeith Palace about half-past one
&end:, to pay his respects to her Majesty. By the
way, we may mention here, that if . the Queen had
extended her tour to the country of the Macallum-
more, his Grace was expected to turn out 1,560 High-
landers, to whom his kinsman, the Chieftain of Islay,
would have added 500 more.

The Guard of Honour at Dalkeith is composed of
a party of the 53d Infantry. Flags are flying on the
rainpart of the venerable ruin of Craigrnillar Castle,
on ,:te the favourite residence of the unfortunate Mary.
.air Robert Peel reached Granton Pier at an early
hot ti• in the morning, and as soon as the Royal yacht
mart! alongside, the Premier went on board, and, after
reni ring the usual homage to her Majesty, he en-
te,iiL into conversation, which appeared to be carried
on, 'on the part of the Queen, with great liveliness and
cot ieescension. Soon afterwards, his Grace the Duke

of .3uccleuch joined the Rt)yal party, and remained
for some time in conversation with her Majesty and
Pri 34 .e Albert, while preparations were making for
the I loyal landing. On her Majesty stepping into the
carAfge her Royal Consort affectionately asked
whi efer she would desire the carriage to be open or
coy af •ed ? Upon which her Majesty replied, " Oh,
no: :at all, unless it rains more."

A "e have previously spoken of the many disap-
poi n tments arising from tlr.l early hour at which her
gtesty came on shore. Among others, her Grace
the, .Duchess of I3uccleuch, the Mistress of the Robes,
ws s driving in from Dalkeith Palace towards Gran-
ton,--; and never suspecting that her Majesty had left
the _Royal . yacht, her Grace was proceeding by the
L anon road, while the Royal cortege was proceed-
it by the Regent-road, on the other side of the
C lton Hill. On her Grace seeing that her mission
I tail been thus rendered fruitless, her carriage was
nediately turned, and drove with all speed back

o Dalkeith Palace, in order to-be there in time to
receive the Queen.
Her Majesty suflVtecti a good deal from sea-sick-
,,,,,4aess4uriug_the voyage, which compelled her, as far
as possible, to keep on deck, where a couch was pre-
pared for Fier accommodation. This may account, in
sonie d.egat e,'lfOr the Queen's anxiety to get ashore as
soon as possible.

FOURTH EDLTION.
MERCURY-OFFICE, FOUR O'CLOCK P.M.
The Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council have
lust seturned from Dalkeith Palace, and on reaching.
the Royal Exchange were received with great cheer-
ing by the populace. The Lord Provost, from his
carriage, addressed The collected crowd, stating gene-
rally that her Majesty had been graciously pleased to
depart f:orn all her arrangements in order to please
her people. That the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and
Council had been received courteously and most,,po-
litely by her Majesty; and that she had expressed
deep regret for the disappointment which had been
occasioned this morning.—(Cheering.) Her Majesty
Lad previously fixed to go north on Monday, and
to hold a Drawing-room on Saturday; but in con-
sequence of the strong and attached feeling dis-
played by the people of Edinburgh, she had re-
solved so far to disappoint the Marquis of Breadal-
bane, Lord Willoughby D'Eresby, the Earls of Kin-
noun and Mansfield, and all the Grandees of the
kingdom, in order to gratify her loyal subjects.—
(Great heering.) There was now to be a proces-
sion on Saturday, a Drawing-room at Dalkeith Pa-
lace on Monday, and her Majesty would proceed north
on Tue..,day. In regard to the arrangements for the
process-ton of Saturday, the precise line had not vet
been arranged, but his Grace the Dtike of Buccleuch
was to communicate the arrangements to the Town
Council to-morrow morning, so that all the citizens
might know where to see their Sovereign— (Renewed
cheering.) His Lordship then read the following
memorandum :—" Upon waiting on her Majesty's
Ministers this morning, at Dalkeith Palace, we had
the satisfaction of learning, that her Majesty had been
previously pleased to anticipate the wishes of the
Town Council and the people of Edinburgh, and had
signified her intention to pass from Dalkeith to the
Castle on Saturday next, entering the city by the
Palace of Holyrood, and passing *tithe Canongate."—
(Tremendous cheering.)
'fhb Lord Provost and the other members after-
wards adjourned to the. Council Chamber, where his
14ardstip repeated the statements he had made to the
nn front of the Exchange. The Council
Rollin and the Quadrangle were completely filled
luring these proceedings.
