I*2£ Maiesty then paced the deck for a little time, wd O n approaching the pier at the rxtrcmi-y of the lighthouse, where vast numbers of the people had conircwted, the parted with the two ladies in waiting wiih whom she hnd been, up to this, in conversation, locked towards the crowd, ran along the deck with the iprighilineit of a young %M t and, with the agihty of a tailor, ascended the paddle-box, which, as our readers are awarf, is a tolerably high one, and wai almost at Its top before she was observed by Prince Albert, who for si time previouily had been standing on iti sum. mil viewing the surrounding scenery. Her Mi.j«ijr On reaching the platform wai assisted by Prince Albert, and tnkinff his arm, aha gracefully waved her right hand towards the people on the pier, and in return was greeted by the plaudits of thousands who crowded towards the extremity of the pier. The Government Gazette, published in Dublin on the 11th August, stated the Queen's intention to create the Piince of Wales Earl of Dublin, as a testimony and a record of the healthful satisfaction which her Majesty had derived from the loyal feeling and kindness with which she had been received by the inhabitants of that metropolis, and m order to establish a connexion between hii Royal Highness and her Maje ty's Irish subjects. After a run often hours from Kingston, the Koyal squadron entered the waters of Belfast, and anchored soon after five o'clock, on the morning of the 11th of Anausr, off Cragavad Roads. At balf-pait one o'clock the Queen, Prince Albert, and Sir George Grey. Earl Fortescue, and the Royal suite left the Victoria and Albert ynht in jn open boat, and pro. ceeded on board the Fairy, and steamed up to the Cuitom-house quay, where the Mayor and other corporate authorities were received on bourd. The Mayor of the industrial capital of Ireland pre-i-ntedanaddreis of welcome, and her Majesty waa pleased fo confer on him the honor of k«g*«J The Queen on landing pasied .through High-street, Castle-street, and Donegal-streel, accompanied by Sir G.Grey and the Royal suite, and precedtd by the Mayor visited tht Linen-hall, the Deaf and Dumb Institution, the Zoological Gardens, and the Queen s C °Notbing could exceed the enthusiasm of the populance. All that affectionate loyalty or chivalrous derotion could suggest was maintained throughout the entire t't the Royal progress. , Her Majesty returned to the Cnifom-howe and reembarked on board the Fairy at six o clock. After a somewhat boiaterous passage from Belfait, the Royal squadron anchored below Greeneek. A short time before noon, on the 14ih of Anguit, her Maiesty ariived ac Glasgow, in the Fairy, with the Vixid in her train, after having been received 10 her pßssige up the Clyde, with the warmeit demonitrations ofhtarty and delighted loyalty. . . . The honours, affectionate addresses, and other loyal demonstration* of which her Majesty and the Prince Consort were the objects, during their short sojourn in Glasgow, filled nearly two columns of the Times. Before her departure for Glasgow, her Majesty and Prince viisted Faculty-hall, and then, taking tbeir teatt in a special train on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company's Perth line, reached the last mentioned city at half-past three in the afternoon of the 1 4t'i of August. Her Msjesty only intended to sleep at Perth, and to start for Balmoral on the morning of the 15th ; l>ut the shortness of her Majesty's visit did not prevent numerous loyal demonstrations by the inhabitants of Perth. By special arrangement, M. Julien's fine band were stationed at the railway terminus to await the Queen's arrival, but Her Majesty csrae in so much sooner than expected that ihe band had only just time to strike up the National Anthem. When her Majesty stepped on the platform, she at onre recognized the accomplished leader, and exclaimed •• Oh ! here's Juiien." The Royal party were accompanied by Sir G. Grey, Sir J. Clark, Colonel Gordon, Lord Fortescue, Mr. Amon, and the two Lndies-in-Waiting— Lady JoneJjn and the Hon. Miss Daw ion. The latest account left her Majesty at Caitleton of Braemar, whence another stagje would conduct the Queen to her beautiful Highland retreat at Balmoral.
