arranged that no delay occurred between
Windsor and Waterloo station, nor from there
to Chiselhurst. At'Chiselhurst, where since

number Of visitors had arrived, her Majesty
was received with silence, but with every
manifestation OF respect BY the great con-
course of English and, French gentlemen and
ladies'. Carriages from Camden House were
In waiting, and the Queen was at once driven
to the residence Of the Empress Eugene, who
| had ,by this time recovered to some extent her
usual composure, met her Majesty at the
principal entrance ana they embraced with
affectdonate tenderness. The Queen was con-
Quoted by the Empress into bOudOir upon

| very affecting, and when the Queen took her
leave and entered her carriage she was weep
