Notice having been received in Lancaster that it was the I
intention of her Majesty the Queen Dowager to pass the
night of Tuesday last at that town, on her way southwards,
from a visit to the Lakes, a petition, signed by a number of
the inhabitants, was addressed to the Mayor, requesting him
to call a meeting, to take into consideration the best method
of showing their loyalty towards her Majesty. A meeting
was accordingly held, when it was decided that a procession,
led by the staff of the Lancashire Militia, preceded by a band,
and followed by the Mayor and Corporation, the clergy, John
o'Gauut's bowmen, the gentry of the town, the- clubs, and
public schools, should go out on the Green Area to meet her.
An express was immediately sent off to know at what time
her Majesty might be expected, and an answer was returned
that she would reach the town between'six and seven o'clock.
Every thing, therefore,_about the appointed time was in a
state of great forwardness, and the procession just ready to
start, when, lo! her Majesty disconcerted all their well laid
plans, by driving up Market-street, through the midst of the
procession, to the King's Arms, so quickly and so unexpect-
edly as scarcely to be recognised. As soon, however, as they
had recovered from the consternation which the unexpected
event had thrown them into, the procession.rnoYed up to the
King's Arms, when the Mayor was permitted to congratulate
her Majesty on her safe arrival at the county town. Soon
after this, to the inexpressible -ratification of the inhabitants,
her Majesty expressed'a wish to visit the,Castle and Church,
and shortly two open landaus drew up to the door of the
King's Arms. Her Majesty, accompanied by her sister, the
Duchess of Saxe Weimar, Earl Howe, and the Mayor of
Lancaster, J. Dockray, Esq., entered the first carriage, the
Hon. Miss Eden, and the Earl and Countess of Denbigh
following in the second, and proceeded up the Castle-hill,
to the Parade in front of the Castle, greeted all the way by
the enthusiastic cheers of the multitudes that had assembled.
Her; Majesty and suite alighted to observe the splendid
views from the Parade Walk, and then leaning on the arms
of the Mayor and the Rev. the Vicar of Lancaster, proceeded
through the churchyard, and entered the church, and after-
wards passed through the Vicarage, where her Majesty
re-entered her carriage and returned to the King's Arms.
The Exhibition (of which her Majesty is the patroness) and
several houses were illuminated during the evening.
About ten o'clock on Wednesday morning, her Majesty,
accompanied by the procession, in the order in which it was
intended to have been arranged on the previous evening, and
a great number of carriages of the neighbourini, gentry, pro-
ceedect from the King's Arms to the railway station, where
the royal railway carriage had arrived from Preston by a
special train. Everything being in a short time got ready,
the royal guest departed, cheered by the thousands of spec-
tators that had assembled to see her leave the town. Her
Majesty expressed herself much pleased with her recep-
tion, to the Mayor, and left £5O for the Lancaster Dispen-
sary, and £25 each for St. Thomas's Church and the church
building at Poulton-le-Sands.—A'esten Pilot.
