VIE QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND,

DEPARTURE OF DER MAJESTY FROM WINDSOR CASTLE.
(From Monday Night's London Standard.)
Her Majesty left Windsor Castle this morning about five
o'clock, and proceeded to the Slough Station, where the
state carriage, of the Great Western Railway was in readi-
ness to convey the Court by special train to Paddington.
Her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert and suite,
proceeded from Paddington over Vauxhall Bridge to Wool-
wich, attended by a military escort.
In consequence of the early hour her Majesty passed along
the line of road almost unobserved ; but when seen she was
loudly and enthusiastically cheered.

ARRIVAL AND EMBARKATION OF HER MAJESTY
AT WOOLWICH.
At a quarter before seven o'clock it was ascertained that
the Royal cortege was approaching. In a few minutes after-
wards a discharge of cannon from the Dock-yard battery
announced the arrival of her Majesty, Prince Albert, and
suite. The band of the Royal Marines immediately played
the National Anthem, and the soldiers of that gallant corps
presented arms.
Her Majesty and Court arrived in three of the Royal
travelling carriages and four, preceded by outriders, and
escorted by a detachment of Light Dragoons.
The Queen and Prince Albert occupied the first carriage'.
le the other carriages were the Duchess of Norfolk, the
Lady-in-Waiting; the lion. Miss Matilda Paget, the Maid
or Honour ; Colonels Bouverie and Wylde, Equerries in
waiting ; Capt. Meynell, and the Hon. G. E. Anson,
treasurer to his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The Earl
of Morton, the Lord in Waiting, arrived sometime previous.
On the arrival of the Royal Carriages, they drove at a slow
Pace down the Dockyard to the landing steps of the pier.
Her Majesty was handed out of her carriage by the Earl of
Delawarr, Lord Chamberlain, and the Earl of Liverpool,
Lora Steward, and was immediately conducted to the Admi-
ralty barge..
On her Majesty alighting his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge kissed her hand, and shortly afterwards gave a
most affectionate kiss on the cheek, bidding her farewell, and
wishing her a safe and happy voyage. Her Majesty was at-
tended down the steps by Sir George Cockburn, and handed
into the barge by the Earl of Haddington. Prince Albert
immediately followed.
The Queen and his Royal Highness appeared in excellent
health and spirits, and, as the barge proceeded to the Royal
yacht, they were most enthusiastically cheered. Her Ma-
jesty smiled•very graciously, and bowed repeatedly in answer
to the cheers with which she was greeted.
Her Majesty was attired in a blue silk dress, a white silk
bonnet, and wore a splendid shawl of Paisley manufacture.
His Royal Highness was dressed in plain clothes, over
which he had a military cloak with red collar, and had-on a
travelling cap.
Sir Francis Collier had the honour of steering the Admi-
ralty barge, and on its arrival alongside the royal yacht, her .
Majesty was received by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, and
was assisted up the accommodation ladder, that had been
rigged expressly for the occasion, and covered with flags, by
Mr. Breaks, the secretary to the senior officer in command.
As soon as her Majesty was afloat, the yards of the differ-
ent vessels that comprised the squadron and others in com-
mission in the river were manned, and formed a very impo-
sing and gratifying spectacle, and as her Majesty stepped on
board the royal yacht, the sailors loudly cheered. It was
caught up by the men of the other vessels and was continued
on the shores on both sides. The Royal standard was then
struck on board the barge, and immediately hoisted to the
'mainmast of the Royal George, and another discharge of
cannon announced that the Sovereign had embarked.
In a few minutes afterwards the Earl of Delewarr, Lord
Chamberlain; the Earl of Liverpool, Lord Steward; the
.arl of Jersey, Master of the Horse ; the Earl of Morton,
Lord in Waiting ; Colonel Bouverie ; Captain Meynell ;
J. C. Anson ; .the Duchess of Norfolk, Lady in
waiting, and some few other attendants on her. Majesty
and Prince Albert, were on board, and precisely as the clock
struck seven, the Royal yacht was under weigh, and towed
by the Monkey steamer, proceeded down the river amidst
the continued cheers of those assembled.
, As the Royal yacht moved on, the different vessels saluted
her by a discharge of guns.
Sir James Clarke, M.P., her Majesty's Physician, ac-
e°lllPanied the Queen on her voyage,, and will remain in
attendance until the court returns.
, On the Queen and Prince Albert entering the Admiralty
barge, his Royal Highness presented the crew with a purse
containing gold.
The whole of the souadron was under the command of
Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, the Captain of the Royal George.
It consisted of the following:—
The Shearwater steam-vessel, Captain John Washington.
The Salamander steam-vessel, Commander A.S. Hammond.
The Lightning steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander G.
Snell.
The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master Commander S. B.
Cooke*
The Rhadamanthus steam-vessel, Master Commander T.
e_an.

The Fearless, steam-vessel, Captain F. Bullock.
The Lightning steam-vessel was ordered by his lordship
to
Precede the Royal George, and consequently led the way
down the river.
The other steam-vessels followed in the wake of the Royal
Yacht, according to the seniority of their commanders.
The Salamander steam-vessel, being of larger draught of
water, was ordered off sooner ; but in getting under weigh
she fouled with the moorings of a hulk, and broke some part
of her paddle-wheel. The damage was speedily repaired,
an d she proceeded
dto her d
destination about half an hour after
the squadron had eparte.
Orders were given yesterday to have the " steam up" at
five o'clock this morning.
The steam-boats from London did not arrive in time to
witness her Majesty's embarkation. One boat proceeded
down the :river afterwards, but in 'consequence of the un-
propitious state of ,the weather it only contained a few pas-
sengers.
The Pique, 36, Captain Stopford,
The Daphne, 17, sloop, Captain James Onslow,
And tha Wolverine, 18, sloop, will, with all the yachts be-
longing to the members of the Royal Yacht souadron, join
her Majesty at the Nore, and attend her to Scotland.
The Camperdown, 120, flag-ship at Sheerness, has been
removed from her moorings to the Nore, to salute the Royal
squadron on passing.
By eight o'clock the town of Woolwich, had assumed its
Usual quietude, and 'nog he distinguished visitors_lad.
titit6l their departure.

GRAvEsEND.
Shortly after nine o'clock the Royal squadron hove in
sight. The Royal yacht at this time was towed by a second
steam-vessel, the Monkey tug being found insufficient in
Power.

, On her Majesty arriving off Tilbury Fort she was received
°Y a royal salute•from the guns of the fortress, and the troops
nt the garrison were drawn out and presented arms. On
the Gravesend shore, the inhabitants and visitors were
assembled in considerable numbers, notwithstanding the
IMfavourable weather, and a general impression that her
Ilajesty would not arrive at so early an hour. The scene,
nnwever, at this moment, was very animated. The royal
squadron was received with loud cheers as it passed, the
Gravesend steamers hoisted their flags, and the different
bands played " God save the Queen !" until the royal yacht
was out of sight.
