Arrival OF the British
Queen.


The Belgian Steamer, British Queen,
arrived at New York, on the 2sth of Sept.
bringing dates to the llth ultimo. The
Queen brought so passengers. We give
below all the news of any importance.
"ihcre is no news of Importance in the
English papers. London as the Chronicle
expresses 1t, was ''out of town."
The papers continue to fill column after
column with the details of Queen Victora's
visit 10 Scotland, where the greatest loyalty
mas been exhibited. At Edinburgh, she
was welcomed in speech by the Duke of
Hamilton and Brandon, Lord Lieutenant
OF the county of Lanark, and addresses
without lumber also presented. From Ed
inburgh the Royal party proceeded TO Perth,
thence TO plymouth Castle. the seat of the
Marquis Of Breadalbane, W here real High
land reception awitcd them. From four TO
five hundred Highianders escorted them in
full costume, with pibroches blowing, and
the nobility of thess land following in the
rear.
! The next stepping place for TIE ROYAL
visitors was at lruiannnd Castle, the seat
ct Lord WillcUghby, thence 10 Stirling, and
back TO Edinburgh.
The departure of the Queen from Edin-
burgh on her return 10 England was fixed
for the 10Th.
The royal visit has not been without ac-
c;dcnt. however. Advantage was taken of
her Majesty's presence in Edinburgh to lay
the foundation stone of Victoria Hall, and
the buildings erecting for the General AS
semhly of the Church of Scotland.
The anxiety TO see the Queen attracted
so large concourse of spectators that the
scafolding gave way, killing one person,
ard inInring more or less seriously some
J fifty or more.
There was report current that the King
of Hanover had died. This report. howev
er, turned out to be premature. The King
was dangerously i'll, but not dead.
! The disturbances in the manufacturing
and mining districts were slowly subsiding
more slowly in the latter than in the for
mer A considerable number of the mills
had resumed work, but there were still ma
ny standing idle, the employers and opera
tives not being able TO agree upon terms
Many of the miners still hold out.
Nulttudes of the parties arrested at VA
rious places have been tried. convicted and
sentenced to divers grades of punishment
At York there were 80 brought up at once
for sentence.
The accounts from France are also with
out the slightest interest.
The Duchess of Orleans had suffered
from severe attack of illness which was
not mentioned in the Paris papers until she
was much better.
From Spain the only item ofinformation
is the announcement in the Madrid Gazette
of the 2sth, of the opening of new loan of
40 millions OF reals payable on the produce
of the Almaden quicksilver mines after the
Rothschild contract.
There are reports of a widening of the
breach between the Emperor of Russia and
the King of Prussia, in consequence of the
refusal of the former to mitigate the tyran-
nv exercised against the Poles.
On this head we make from a London
paper the following extract:
The Prussan State Gazette officially an
nounces that the King of Prussia, on his

the Gar any material change in the pro
hibitive system of Russia, thereby destroy
ing the hopes that might be formed of the
late Russian ukase being the opening of a
freer state of things There is even tone
of complaint in the Prussian official article,
natural enough, when il is considered that
Prussia possesses the sea ports and the
mouths of the rivers which run from Poland,
and which are the natural connection of
that ancient country with the sea. Such
state of things cannot last Either Rus
STA must succeed in destroying the Polish
tongue and name and nation, or Prussia by
resuscitating all their vital parts of Polish
existence, for the resuscitation of a Polish
empire.
{ The sovereigns and governments of these
countries may remain ON terms of friendship,
but the nature of things tends to fend,
