THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.

DEPARTURE OF HER MAJESTY FROM WINDSOR CASTLE.
(Front 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.
In the ;other carriages were the Duchess of Norfolk, the
Lady-in-Waiting; the lion. Miss Matilda Paget, the Maid
waiting;
Honour
' • Colonels Bouverie and Wylde, Equerries in
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,
Lord 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
Earl of Jersey, Master of the Horse ; the Earl of Morton,
Lord in Waiting ; Colonel Bouverie ; Captain Meynell ;
urii°ll. J. C. Anson ; the Duchess of Norfolk, Lady in
" °king, 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-
companied 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 squadron 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.
S The Lightning steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander G.
nell.
The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master Commander S. B.
Cooke.
The Rhadamanthus steam-vessel, Master Commander T.
Lean.

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,
and she proceeded to her destination about half an hour after
the squadron had departed.
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 the Wolverine, 18 sloop, will, with all the yachts be-
longing to the members of the Royal Yacht squadron, 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 most of the distinguished visitors had
taken 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
In the garrison were drawn out and presented arms. On
the Gravesend shore, the inhabitants and visitors were
assembled in considerable numbers, notwithstanding the
unfavourable weather, and a general impression that her
Majesty would not arrive at so early an hour. The scene,
however, 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.

THE SORE.
The following was received by Watson's Telegraph this
Morning :
" The royal squadron, with her Majesty, his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, and suite, was off the Nore Light at 11
oclock this morning. Her Majesty's yacht, Royal George,
in tow by two steamers.
The Royal squadron was received at the Nore by a royal
salute from her Majesty's ship Camperdown (Admiral Sir
Edward Brace, C. 8.), the Pique frigate, the Daphne, and
other vessels with their yards manned.
" A great number of yachts, samers, an boats of all
"esoriptions, were assembled to see her Alajest d y pass. The
scene is described as being most animated. Wind from the
eastward, light breezes and fine.
In passing down the river her Majesty's yacht corarnu-
pleatesd with Watson's Telegraph Station, and reported
1,,„1' well." The royal squadron passed Herne Bay at
"a"-Post 12 o'clock.
gl At half-past 12 her Majesty's ships Pique and Daphne
were still at anchor off the Nore light."

LANDING OF THE ROYAL PARTY AT GRANTON.
The Royal George yacht will, we believe, be towed along-
side of this splendid pier, which will enable her Majesty to
Observe the extent of this magnificent structure,—a lasting
monument of the enterprise and public spirit of the Duke of
tfuecleuch. As soon as her Majesty has set foot on the soil
of Scotland, a royal salute will thunder from Leith Not.
echoed by the ships-of-war in the Frith, and re-echoed by
the Castle of Edinburgh. Her Majesty will be received by
the Duke of Buceleuch, Lord Lieutenant of the County, and
attended by a guard of honour, consisting of two companies
of the 53d Regiment, commanded by a Field Officer.
clothe Th landing-place at Granton has been covered with scarlet
~ and it is understood that the company on the pier to
receive her Majesty will be of the most select description, to
.event confusion and jostling; but to gratify his numerous
Plendsv a grand stand is erected by his grace's order, imme-
_itely opposite to the pier, covered with scarlet cloth,
7lience the spectators will have a complete view of the Queen
and her suite passing to the carriages. His grace, it is ex-
Peeted, will be accompanied by Sir Robert Peel, and other
officers of state.

CEREMONIES AT THE BARRIER.
A barrier has been erected at Pitt-street Toll-bar, where
It is the intention of the Lord Provost and magistrates to
the ent the keys of the city to the Queen, on the arrival of
cortege at this spot.

Council has been printed inn regard toe the arrangements to be
observed to-day.

'will be announced by a red flag from Nelson's monument,
and the firing of two guns from the Castle.
One hour afterwards the carriages will call at the houses of
the several Councillors, who shall hold themselves in readi-
ness to take their places, and proceed to the Council Cham-

be assembled within two hours from the giving of the
Signal. Each gentleman will be dressed in the following

We understand the deputation of the Town Council have
written to Sir Robert Peel at Dalkeith Palace,
regarding her
Majesty's entry into the city. The purport of the letter was
a request that her Majesty should proceed in an open
carriage,
and drive slowly through the line in procession. An An answer
is expected early this morning.

The City Assesors.
The ceremonial of the presentation of the Keys being over,
the carriages will drive forward in order, and each gentleman
will resume his place in the carriage in which he left the
Council Chamber. The carriages will then form part of the
procession.
The Council-Officer will attend to the arrangement of the
carriages at the Council Chamber and at Henderson Row,
and each gentleman is requested implicitly to attend to his
directions.

With regard to the procession from the barrier, the follow-
ing programme is given of the arrangement of the different
public bodies who are to line the streets to-day :
The High Constables of the City will attend as the official
guard of the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council, at the
east end of Henderson Row.

The Deputy-Lieutenants and Justices of the peace of the
city will attend on the other side of the roadway. The
Deputy-Lieutenants and Justices will assemble in the square
of the Royal Exchange one hour after the firing of the signal
guns from the Castle, and having chosen one of their num-
ber as Marshal-man, will proceed in a body to the place
above assigned to them.
The General and Resident Commissioners of Police will
proceed in a body, and take up a position on the east side of
the roadway immediately to the south of the Justices of the
Peace.

To the south of the Police Commissioners, and also on the
east side of the road, the Merchant Company and Guildry
will take up a position.
The Incorporated Trades of the City will take up a position
as they arrive, on the west side of the roadway immediately
to the south of Henderson Row.

All other bodies will assemble in such place of the City as
they themselves shall determine : and having arranged in
order, will have positions assigned to them, in single file, as
they arrive on the line of her Majesty's route.
The line of route by which her Majesty is to proceed by
Granton to Dalkeith Palace, about which some doubt has
hitherto prevailed, as no official communication had been
made to any of the local authorities, has been now arranged.
The royal cortege will proceed by Inverleith Row, Pitt, and
Dundas-streets, Hanover-street, to Prince's-street ; but
instead of halting at Holyrood, it will pass on by Norton
Place and Jock's Lodge, nearly to the entrance to Porto-
bello, where it will turn to the south, taking the road to
Dalkeith. This arrangement will allow full scope to the vast
concourse of spectators to get a view of her Majesty and
suite. No doubt it might have been more gratifying to us
had her Majesty's first entrance into the capital of her an-
cient kingdom been surrounded with scimewbat more of the
courtly pomp and parade that attended the visit of Geo. IV.,
but we must keep in remembrance that it is the express wish
of her Majesty and her illustrious consort, that her visit
should be conducted with as little public ceremony as it is
possible to observe consistent with the dignity of the royal
personages. It is for this reason that her Majesty dispensed
with the official services of the Lord Mayor of London ; and
for the same cause the addresses of the different public bo-
dies of Scotland are not to be received in person. Under
these circumstances, it would be unreasonable, however
strong may be the feeling of Scotchmen on the subject, to
complain that the present royal visit is not to be on the same
scale of splendour that we witnessed twenty years ago.
Meantime, there is every appearance that her Majesty is
to rective a most cordial and enthusiastic welcome from all
classes of her Scottish subjects, who are looking forward to
her arrival with unmingled delight. On every hand, prepa-
rations are going on with surprising activity. Tailors, shoe-
makers, hatters, mantua-makers, milliners, and indeed all
connected with fashionable apparel, are in full employment.
A splendid bonfire is in course of preparation on the crest of
Arthur's Seat, which, when set a-blazing, will be the signal
fop a number of similar fires on the tops of many hills
throughout the country. Not less extensive are the prepa-
rations making to gratify the wishes of the people to have a
sight of their Sovereign. The windows along the line of
road through which she is to pass are taking at sums vary-
ing from three to five guineas, the latter sum being a com-
mon price for one in a commanding situation. Then there
are galleries erecting in almost a continuous line along the
road from Granton Pier to the City barrier, in Pitt, Dun-
das, and Hanover-streets ; and again in Princes-street, along
the Regent Road towards Holyrood. Amongst the most
judicious of these arrangemonts, and one that must produce
a beautiful and pleasant coup d'ceil, will be the assemblage
of the youths attending the High School, who are to be ac-
commodated in front of that building, one of the finest of
the many splendid edifices that adorn the city. The Auxili-
ary Committee for building the Scott Monument are also to
erect a gallery in front of that site, the proceeds of which,
we have no doubt, will more than compensate any loss
which might accrue from the clearing away of their building
sheds, &c., during the royal procession.
Her Majesty and suite will proceed by way of Piershill
Toll, Duddingstone House, Niddry, and thence by the high
road to
