FURTHER ACCOUNTS.

The squadron, on leaving the Nore, and upon
rounding the aplin Sands, bore away in a north-
easterly direction, the Lightning and Shearwater
steamers still towing the Queen's Royal George
yacht. Upon its arrival off Walton-on-the-Naze, at
about a quarter past four o'clock, a Royal salute was
fired from the pier-head, amidst immense cheering
from the hundreds of persons who' flocked round the
passing fleet in crafts of all descriptions. The
weather at the time was particularly fine, with aslight -
breeze blowing from the east. At a quarter past five
o'clock the Royal squadron arrived in the Sound .off
the entrance of Harwich Harbour. here it was met
by the Orion and Queen steamers, tastefully deco-
rated with flags from stem to stern ; the former hav-
ing on board the Mayor and town authorities of Ips-
wich, and the other an excusion party. The military
bands on board immediately struck up the national
anthem, and as her Majesty and her Illustrious Con-
sort passed, they were greeted with loud huzzas. Her
Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert were
upon deck, and gracefully acknowledged the cheers
by repeatedly bowing. The Royal yacht, seen after
leaving Harwich, hoisted her foremast staysail and
jibsail, the wind having veered a point or so round to
the south-east ; the Lightning and Shearwater steam-
ers still, however, continued towing, followed in the
rear by the Fearless, Monkey, and the rest of the Go-
vernment steamers forming the squadron. At half-
past seven o'clock it passed Aldborough and Orford-
ness, and the last accounts received of its progress
are, from Yarmouth, quarter past ten, p.m. The
Royal yacht was then proceeding through the Roads.
All the steamers had lights hoisted at their bows and
mast-heads, and when off the town, Bengal lights
were burned on board of the Lightning and Shear-
water steamers, which illumined her Majesty's yacht
and the whole squadron, presenting from the shore a
most imposing sight. The weather was still fine, and
ve little sea prevailed.,
WOOLWICH, AUG. 30.—1 n connection with her
Majesty's arrival at Woolwich• yesterday morning,
and embarkation for Scotland, it is but justice to state
that the authorities acted most liberally in granting a
holiday to the whole of the workmen employed in the
Dockyard. It appears that immediately after the
Royal George yacht had proceeded down the river,
deputations were appointed from' the workmen in the
various departments to wait upon Admiral Sir George
Cockburn, G.C.8., First Naval Lord, previous to his
leaving the Dockyard for town, and having obtained
access to his Lordship, they represented that it was
usual on all occasions when a crowned head visited
or embarked at the Woolwich Dockyard, to obtain a
holiday. The Gallant Admiral received the deputa-.
tion in the kindest manner, and having consulted with
Captain Sir Francis A. Collier, Kt., K.C.H. and
C. 8., the Superintendent granted the request of the
workmen, and they immediately left the yard, but
not before giving three cheers for her Majesty and
three cheers for the Admiral and Sir Francis Collier.
The depot of the 87th Regiment has been ordered to
embark at Hull for Edinburgh, to be present during
her Majesty's stay in Scotland. Her Majesty's fa-
vourite greyhound and terrier dogs were taken on
board one of the vessels yesterday morning to be con-
veyed to Scotland.
