HER MAJESTY'S RETURN FROM SCOTLAND

It appears from the Scottish papers that her Majesty
was to set out on Friday from Arberikie for Fort Wil-
liam—the first stage of the royal route to England. Cap-
tain Turner, an able master employed by a steam com-
pany in Glasgow, was engaged to steer the Fairy yacht
from Fort Augustus to Inverness, and back to Tort Wil-
ham, on Thursday, when Prince Albert would join Her
Majesty. The royal party were to sail on Saturday
morning early, on board the Victoria and Albert, from the
latter place to the western opening of the Crinan Canal.
where the royal barge awaited them. The last stage of
the sea journey was to be performed from Campbeltown
Bay for Fleetwood, from which a railway ride of two
hundred and thirty miles would bring the royal party to
London.

Great preparations have been made at Fleetwood to do
ifonour to the royal personages. A beautiful archway,
neatly and appropriately decorated, has been erected from
the pier to the railway station, the royal arms being em-
blazoned over the doorway, with the inscriptions, " God
save the Queen," and " Welcome to Fleetwood." A
part of the wharf was converted into a saloon for the ac-
commodation of the authorities of the town, the directors
of the railway, and others. Here it was arranged the
Queen was to receive the address, and she was then to
pass along a covered way, erected for the occasion, to the
state carriage, which was stationed on a sliding in the
yard behind the landing place. The sides of this were
open and accommodation made on each side for parties who
could see her Majesty, the Prince, and the royal children
as they passed along it. Standing places were also made
in an adjoining yard, and along the sliding on which the
train proceeded. The whole of the way from the landing
place to the sliding was covered with scarlet cloth, and
the saloon was gorgeously decorated with floral and other
devices, evergreens, Sze. ; also the words " Duchess of
Lancaster " worked in laurel leaves. The whole town
was profusely adorned with. flags.
Fleetwood was full of company, for the conveyance of
whom from the interior, liberal and extensive preparations
were made by the railway company. Sir Hesketh Fleet-
wood, Bart., the founder of the town, and J. Abel Smith,
Esq..., M.P., who is largely interested in its prosperity,
were both there, as also J. Haywood, Esq., J. Wilson
Patten, Esq., members for the county ; Wm. Gale, Esq.,
the high sheriff, &c. The beds at the inns were all en-
gaged at handsome prices; the lodging-houses were full,
and the steam-packets in the harbour accommodated 300
persons with sleeping room.

LATEST PARTICULARS

tONDAY

It was fully expected that her ihjesty would have ar-
rived in Fleetwood on Sunday evening, according to the
arrangements which had been previously made, and to-
wards six o'clock she was consequently looked for by the
numerous visitors to that place. She did not, however,
arrive, and when the first railway train left Fleetwood
yesterday morning, the royal squadron was not in sight,
and no intelligence of its progress had been received at
Fleetwood. The general impression was, that the bois-
terous state of the weather had impeded the royal progress.

In the course of the day it was thought irobable that
the squadron would arrive towards noon, but the Isle of
Man packet, which arrived about twelve o'clock, reportod
that there was .no Appearance of the royal squadron, and
it was then considered almost cert&n that the voyage had
been deferred to yesterday, and her Majesty's appearance
was not expected until seven o'clock last evening.
On Sunday afternoon her Majesty's state carriage, ac-
companied by two other carriages, arrived at Fleetwood by
a special train from London. They were conveyed by an
engine belonging to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Rail-
way Company. This engine, which is named the "Prince
Albert," is an entirelytnew one, the present occasion being
the first time it has been used. It is of immense size, and
elegantly decorated for the occasion, having on it a mag-
nificent representation• of the royal arms.
All the preparations for her Majesty's arrival were com-
plete on Saturday.

ARRIVAL OF THE QUEEN

AT FLEEI'WOOD,

Last night ( Monday), at about ten minutes past six
o'clock, Her Majesty and the royal squadron entered the
port of Fleetwood. About three o'clock in the afternoon,
the Black Eagle was seen outside the river, in advance,
and the information was soon conveyed to the authorities
in Fleetwood that the squadron was approaching the
harbour. About the hour of five o'clock, the whole fleet
was seen about five or six-miles from Fleetwood, and the
intelligence was conveyed to Preston, Manchester, and
other places, by the electric telegraph. Shortly before
six the squadron entered the river, and its arrival
at the outer light house was announced by the firing.
of cannon. The royal squadron quietly made its way
down the channel, and soon passed the shore light-
housei, entering the harbour under a royal salute from the
cannon planted opposite the North Eastern Hotel.. On
her arrival opposite the pier, the Victoria and Albert
yacht cast anchor, surrounded by the rest of the squadron.
The squadron on its entrance' into the harbour was ac-
companied by a considerable number of the steamers be-
longing to the port, which, on the first announcement of
the royal party being in sighti had gone out to meet them.
Several, however, had left the port for that purpose in-the
early part of the day. The...appearance of the river,on the
approach of the squadron, and the vessels in attendance,
was most• animating, and the immense crowds of spec-
tators-on the shore rendered the sight altogether-exceed-
ingly imposing.
Her Majesty would sleep•last night on, board the royal
yacht, and, according to the latest accounts, the debarka-
tion will take place at ten o'clock this morning, when the
royal party will immediately proceed by railway to' Lon-
don. We learn that no stoppage whatever will take place
on the journey, except for the necessary changing of en-
gines, &c.,—that the engi- Albert," above.

Immediately on her Majesty's arrival becoming known
in Preston, the influx of passengers to Fleetwood was
very great at the station of the former place, Special
trains were announced with as much expedition as possi-

and again commence early this morning. The arrivals
from Manchester and thesurrounding district are expected
to be very great.
