ROYAL VISIT TO SCOTLAND.
The newspapers are filled with accounts Of the
| Queens visit to Scotland. She appears to have
been received there with sober enthusiasm. She
Quilted London on the Monday morning, sailed in
the Royal George yacht, towed by two steamers,
and was remarkably pleased with the voyage, al
though she did not escape tho usual penalty OF sea
sickness, and, doubt, wished that if britannia
[ rules the waves" she would rule them n little
| stra,ghter, as the schcolmasler said. The Royal
| Squadron reached Lci,h on Wednesday night, and
| deferred landing until the next morning, September
| Tie Royal George was fitted up with more taste
| than splendor. The cabins were all ventilated on
DIR Reds plan, and, indeed. the vessel was rendered
! as pleasant for the voyage as It could be. The
Queen, with her usual good sense, commanded that,
during the voyage the usual requirements Of state
should be all dispensed with, os far possible
I Thus she was placed exactly on the footing ola
friend, rather than Queer. People kept their hats
on IN her presence-turned their backs to her now
and then-nnd treated her simply with the courtesy
/ due TO her sex rather than her rank.
The Qusen and Prince Albert had n sitting and

FOE the accommodation of oil her companions. In
the private room was a grand p,anofore, and in the
| Royal bedroom there was plain French bed, with
chintz hansings. Comfort. rather than ahow SEEM

The Royal pair took their meals, on ship board

nlrraiors of the events Of the voyage has carefully
! chroncled the fact that the Queen eat with keen
appetite, and that Prince Albert was quite knocked
up by sen sickness. Now and then the queen felt
squeamish, and the same historian gravey .ntions
proof Of her royal consideration that when she
did want the basin she employed the services Of
one ofthe usual attcndOnts nttiehed TO the vessel,
md not Of any OF her ladies in waiting!
Another reporter who thought it his duty to give
a minute account OF the voyage, was evidently at
loss how to mention that the Queen had been sea
SICK he managed 1t in this magnificent manner: AT
length, the rolling of the vessel produced the conse
quences usually resulting TO voyagers unaccustomsd
TO the sea. Our gracious and beloved monarch,
feeling that she upon the waters whose undi-
vided sovereignty is all her own, resisted the sensa
lions OF illness as long as she could-de,ermine1,
j: would appear, that Empress of the Ocean as she
is she would not WELD to them. But nature was
imperative, and her Majesty got sick. She speedily
recovered, however and shortly after assembled the
quarter deck, looking rather pale. Presently, shs
again felt il."-And so, carefully recording each
particular, this writer Informed the public Of how

On Thursday, Sept. !, at 9 O'clock exactly, the
Queen landed in Scotland. There were thou
sands Of spectators TO see her, but the Lord Pro

have received her, and rendered her the silver
keys of the Scot,h metropolis were not 10 be found
IL seems they had no idea that the Queen would
be such an eary riser, or would gait the ship Ie-

Dalketh palace, saw her, and received promise
that she would receive the keys in Ednburg when
she went TO the cty. That night Edihburg

were beautifully Illuminated.

Friday. Elimination was given, however, that scar

Albert passed Friday in comparative retirement
they lunched alone, and walked about the grounds.
In the evening they took drive to the county.
On Saturday, they mad, triumphant entry into
Edinburg, passing through the principal streets in
the old and new towns. The silver keys Of the
city were duly rendered by the Coip0i alton, and

worn by Prince Charles Stuart.
Sunday was passed in privacy, as is the custom
IN Scotland. IL was supposed the Queen would
have attended divine service in the principal Pres.
bytetiln Church Of EdinLurg but she preferred
having prayers by an Episcopal clergyman in the
drawing room OF Dilkeiih palace. In the after
noon, the Duchess of Buccleugh drove the QUEEN
through The Park in low pLiclon and pair, Prince
Albert and the Duke Of Bucceugh accompanying
them on horseback.
Monday was the gala day, All the nobility
and gentry Aocked to Dalketh palace, where The
drawing room was held. All sorts Of vehicles were
in requslllon-lrom the carriage and six to the hum
die donkey cart. The distance from Edinburg to
Dakeiih IS about miles, and the sum Of a guinea
and half was asked and given for the conveyance
of an individual in gig! Indeed, E1nburg could
not supply vehicles for the Accommodation Of all
who wanted them, and hundreds paid dearly for
