The second carriage contained the Duchess of Buccleuch
and the Duchess of Norfolk ; and shortly afterwards, others
containing officers and domestics connected with Her Ma-
jesty's household followed.
On arriving at the entrance-gates to the dockyard, the
Royal carriages were surrounded by the workmen of the
establishment, who, at the request of Her Majesty, had
granted to them a holyday. They expressed their gratitude
and loyality in loud and continuous cheers, which Her Ma-
jesty and Prince Albert acknowledged by repeated bows.

HER MAJESTY'S PROGRESS TO TOWN.
Upon the Royal cortege leaving the dockyard Her Majesty

Greenwich: Her carriage proceeded at a quick pace, Pre-
ceded by outriders, and escorted by a detachment of the Bth
Hussars, under the command of Captain Rolles. On passing
the Royal Hospital, Greenwich, the veterans of that institu-
tion hoisted the Royal standard, and about 1,000 that were
drawn up on the lawn with their officers strove to excel the
demonstration of loyalty that the boys of the Naval School
opposite, to the number of 800, manifested as Her Majesty
passed. The band of the Naval School played the national
anthem, and on the spire of St. Alphage Church proudly
waved the Royal standard. The Royal carriages proceeded
through Deptford, Peckham, and over Vauxhall-bridge,
through Hyde-park, to the terminus of the Great Western
Railway, at Paddington, weere Her Majesty arrived at a
quarter-past eleven o'clock.

DEPARTURE BY RAILROAD FOR WINDSOR

The directors of the Great Western Railway Company, to
prevent any delay, had directed a special train to be in readi-
ness for her Majesty's use from seven o'clock on Friday
evening, and the principal officers of the company were kept
in attendance during the night. The engine chosen on this
occasion to give the impetus to the Royal train was the
" Erebus," which was decorated with a large Union Jack at
each of the four corners, whilst a profusion of laurels
adorned the top and sides of the boiler, &c. The temporary
platform on the side of the line, used by the down-trains,
which has been before used, was again brought into reqisi-
tion, and every preparation made for the accommodation of
of the Royal party. Shortly after eleven o'clock a messenger
from the admiralty arrived at the Railway with information
that a telegraphic despatch had been received from Woolwich
that her Majesty and Prince Albert landed at the dock-yard
at half-past 10 o'clock , and would reach Paddington shortly be-
fore 12 o'clock. By half-past 11 a large number of elegantly-
dressed females, friends of the directors, who had been
admitted by tickets, had taken up a position on either side of
the platform, which was covered by handsome crimson car-
peting ; and precisely at a quarter twelve o'clock the advance
of the escort entered the terminus, The Royal corage con-
sisted of two of the Royal carriages, each drawn by four
horses, proceded by outriders, and escorted by a troop of
the Bth Royal Hussars. Her Majesty, who, although
apparently labouring under the effects of considerable fatigue,
apppeared in the.enjoyment of good health, was dressed in a
tartan silk dress, and was received on alighting by Mr.
Charles Russel, M.P., the chairman of the company, Mr.
C. Saunders, the secretary, and Mr. S. Clerk, the superin-
tendent of the line, by whom she was conducted to the Royal
saloon carriage, which, with two other saloon carriages
and one of second class, formed the special train. Her
Majesty. we rejoice to say, appeared in high spirits, as did
also her illustrious consort, Prince Albert, whose sun-burnt
countenance gave him a much older appearance. At eleven
minutes to twelve o'clock the engine was put in motion. and
the Royal train, which was accompanied by the above officers
company, sped on its course to Slough amidst the enthusiastic
cheering of the persons assembled.
