)yneley,

nt precisely iv u CIOCK, the trident bore up opposite toe
Dockyard, having been previously saluted by the field bat-
teries in the Royal Arsenal, as she entered Woolwich-reach.
The Earl of Haddington and Admiral Gage immediately
went on board from the pinnace of the William and Mary,
and the Admiralty barge, rowed by twelve rowers, went

alongside, steered by CaPtain Sir Francis Collier.
Her Majesty remained on deck under an awning some time,
in earnest conversation with the Earl of Haddington, until
the vessel was made fast to the moorings. The Queen then
went below, and about half an hour after her arrival descend-
ed the companion steps along with Prince Albert into the
Admiralty barge, and they were steered ashore by Captain
Sir Francis Collier, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of those
on board the different vessels and on shore. As her Majesty
came alongside, a great number had an excellent opportunity
of seeing the Queen. Her Majesty was dressed in a splendid
silk Stuart tartan dress, with two flounces at the bottom, and
had on a plain tartan shawl formed of large white squares,
surrounded by darker stripes, and fixed with a brooch in
front, exactly in the same form as worn in the Highlands.
As the Royal carriages quitted the yard, the troops pre-
sented arms, and the band played the national anthem, and
a Royal salute was fired from four pieces of artillery, brought
from the arsenal and stationed in the dockyard, under the
command of Major Sanderling.
The first carriage contained Her Majesty and Prince Albert.
We were happy to observe that the Sovereign and his Royal
Highness appeared in excellent health and spirits, although,
we understand, they suffered a little during the voyage from
the effects of sea sickness.

ANECDOTES CONNECTED WITH THE QUEEN'S

VISIT TO SCOTLAND.

(From the Glasgow Herald.)

During the Royal voyage to Scotland, his Royal Highness
Prince Albert having observed that the passengers of the
Monarch, one of the steamers that proceeded down the
Frith to meet Her Majesty, were amusing themselves with
dancing, directed the Queen's attention to the fact, when
Her Majesty instantly gave her gracious permission that the
crew of the Royal yacht might engage in similar amusements,
an act of condescension which the jolly tars very soon take
care to avail themselves of with infinite glee. One remark-
able circumstance may be mentioned in connexion with Her
Majesty's voyage, and it is this—that neither the Queen nor
the Prince were attended by any of the lar'Aes or gentlemen
of the household, but merely the usual domestics ; and per-
haps a more handsome compliment could not have been paid
to the internal arrangements of the Royal yacht, with which,
upon all occasions, Her Majesty appeared highly satisfied.
In Edinburgh, on Thursday, the day on which Her Ma-
jesty landed, some ludicrous scenes took place in consequence
of the incredulity of some of the parties who had purchased
tickets as to the intelligence that Her Majesty had passed
the spot in which they had taken up their positions. Hun-
dreds, who arrived long after the Royal carriage passed by,
tooktheir seats on the scaffoldings with the most imperturb-
able gravity, and sat in the security of their ignorance, for
upwards of half an hour, amidst the laughter and coarse
gibes of the lower class of the struggling mob, who in vain
assured them they had arrived too late. One old gentleman,
who had come from some remote part of Scotland, was ac-
tually immovable.
