THE QUEENS TRIP To IIRELANDs--Hs Majesty
and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince of
| Wales, and Prince ALBEIT left Osborne on Satur-
day morning at nine o'clock. Proceeding by the
route of BaSingStoke; bennington, and Trent VAL
ley to Chester, they arrived at Holyhend in safety
at half past six in the evening. The few incidents
| of the iourney5are soon todd The Hon. Francis
Scott, Colonel Henderson,, one of the directorss
Mr.. Scott, the manager, and Mr. Goodson, otthe
Southw eStern provided for the safety AID comfort
ofthe royal travellers from Southampton to Bnsing-
toke. Here they were received by Mt. RUSSELL,
the Chairman of the Great Western, MI. Brunei,
Mr.. Saunders and Mr. Go0ch At rapid rate the
train swept along, SCARCELY islackening its speed
even in presence of the sedate towers of Oxford,
and conSgning its precious freight othe keeping
of the narrow guage at bennington.
The North-Nestern, represented by Captain
Hush, Mr. Mcconnell, Mt. TreYethick,s Capt.
BruyereS, and another gent eman, now took up the
running, and along the rich lands of Warwick
shire and the valley ofthe Trent, the train dash
ed northward. Each station had its band ofdeter-
mined aud loyal sight-seers, who chetred and wa
we'd their hats and handRerchiefs at the mere
glimpse OF their Queen. She passed among them
very much after the fashion of sunbeam, for the
steam chariot of the present time is not unworthy
i'll speed of The horses of Phaeton, and has the adj
dllianal advantage Of notsetting the world on tire
At the few places where the engine drew up
for water, the crowd ofspeetators was very dense,
and where guard of honor, military or militia
could be mustered, salute WINS forthcoming.
The only pause made on the route-and that
not exceeding thirty minutes-waS at Tamwortb,
where tile Royal party had an elegant luncheon,
and Mr.. Burgis, fthe Chester and Holyhead Com
pany, took charge OF the tram from Chester, and,
throughout the distance Travelled, punctuality.
and speed highly creditable to the authorities of
the different lines were maintained. The Royal
family, on arriving at Holy head, embarked with
out moments delay on board the Victoria and
Albert, which was lying at the port to receive
them, and which at once steamed out into the new
dock, 20 join the squadron. Her Majesty remain
ed there quietly OH Sunday, aad crossed the chan
mel to Kingston Hurbor yesterday (Mon9ay) NOR
ming.
The WEATHER IN ENoLAND.-TLe weather has
been more unsettled during the week; bright sun
ny days alternating with lIriSk showers and high
winds; but the quantity Of water fallen has not
been very great, and, SHOULD we have more bright
warm days, no harm will have been done even to
the wheat crop still out in the fields. The reports
OF the crops generally throughout the country are
of veIy favorable character, the chief drawback
being the diminished breadth of land in wheat
tllage. The reports Of disease in the potato crop
appear TO have been considerably exaggerated; for
although this mysterious soourge has undoubtedly
reaapeared, and in sOre pluces with much viz
uence, there are very large supplies of excellent
quality available for consumption. The spirit OF
speculation has, however, been active in this Sta
pie commodity, and prices have, in consequence,
gone up, circumstance of not unusual occurrence
at this season of the year.-LiperpoOl STANDARD,
