THE QUEENS AQUATIC EXCURSIOM

Yesterday forenoon, a short time bcf-ore 12 o'clock,
her MAJESTY, accompanied by Lady ANNE HA
TON, Lady CHARLOTTE LINDSAY, Alderman WOOD,
the Hon. KEPPEL CRAVEN, and the ether persons of
her suite, left lirandenburgh House, and proceeded
to the nearest place for embarkation, which is about
five hundred yards from her MAJESTY'S residence:
the party then went on board a State Barge, and
proceeded 'down the River, on their way to (Aileen-
wich, Woolwich, dec. The tide being adverse, the
barge was rowed by a steam-boat. it was nearly
halt-past two before they reached Waterloo Bridge,
when the to-wing-line was cast off from the steam-
yacht, and the crew of the Royal barge, taking to
their oars, proceeded without . her assistance, Mr.
SEARLE,• of Lambeth, acting as cockswain. The
barge was.decorated by a profusion of union jacks,
broad pendants, and streamers : she was Towed by
twenty men; all wearing scarlet uniforms, and state
caps of .blieck•-velvet.
The QulfitiOr approach was greeted by discharges
.of camusciffeinv the several wharfs on the banks of '
the RivelOtnd by joyful acclamations by the spec-
tators who Ilined the several bridges.
Immedittaely opposite the new erections for. the
Italian witnesses, inCotton-garden,tremendous shouts
of execration were raises', while the large guns on the
opposite shere at Stangate, fired a Royal Salute.
As -her-Maasstir proceeded down the River, the
crowds on iis.banks, and the boats on its surface, in-
creased Papielv Before her MAJESTY reached Lon-
don Bridge she boats fall of company, eager to ap-
proach the Royal vessel, were. so great as to inter-
rupt its progress, and the danger.was so'apparent, it,
became.neeessary to adopt mclans for keeping them
at a. di4titsee-4 :liut notwithstanding every precaution
a boat lwasowamped• near the barge, containing seven
persons, who narrowly escaped drowning.
The .front of the • Custom-House accommodated
thousands of persons, who had stationed themselves
for hours prior to her.itucsry's arrival at- that part
of the River; .and as the • barge passed •alOng, the
sailors in. the different ships huzzaed " The Queen
.for ever!" and hoisted their colours. Every demon-
stration Of joy.was paid on the occasion, and her
MAJEST' returned it with equal respect. •
On the.different banks at the side of the River;
crowds of persons-had assembled ; and here and there,
where a- small village was in view, the inhabitants
were to be seen near ,the banks, with their children
neatly dressed, and callingout," The Queenfor ever!
Caroline for ever!" 4fic.:auki waving their hats and
..bandkerchiefs.
The barge proceedea.en, until it arrived at Green-'
with HOspital. Within Side the railing crowds of
persons were. callected". tngrther, and. could be seen
in thousands for some distance. The utmost enthu-
siasm was here expressed by the spectators, and the I
waving of handkerchiefs, &c._.and the shouts of the.
people, had a most singular effect. Boats thronged
in numbers from this spot, and followed the barge
to Woolwich. On passing by Woolwich Dock-yard
the sentries presented arms, and remained in their
position until the barge passed by. .
Her MAJESTY then proceeded to the extent of.
Woolwich, amid the cheers of numberless spectators,
and it beirig half-past four her MAJESTY, &c. pro-
ceeded to dinner, after which her MAJESTY and the
rest of the company again made their appearance on
the top of the barge, and shortly after set out on
their return. On their arrival 2t Greenwich her MA-
JESTY'S carriage was in waiting, in which she re-
turned to London.
