Her Ma je sty's Marine Excursion.— The Queen 

 and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Princess Royal 

 and a numerous suite, embarked at Woolwich on Mon- 

 day morning on board the Royal yacht for Scotland. 

 The usual salutes were fired from the batteries and ar- 

 senal as Her Majesty embarked, and the Lords of the 

 Admiralty and other official personages were in attend- 

 ance to superintend the arrangements. The yacht left 

 her moorings at 20 minutes past 9, and proceeded at half 

 speed down the river. The Black Eagle, which, as well 

 as the Royal yacht, had her steam up ready to start at a 

 moment's notice, got under weigh at the same time, and 

 followed in the wake of the Victoria and Albert. She 

 was the only Government steamer, among those which 

 had been selected to form the squadron to attend upon 

 Her Majesty, that was waiting at Woolwich ; the re- 

 mainder of the squadron had been previously despatched 

 with instructions to rendezvous and receive Her Majesty 

 lower down the river. At the time the yacht got" un- 

 der weigh to proceed on her destination, the weather 

 still continued unfavourable, so that Her Majesty 

 did not remain on deck more than five minutes. 

 Prince Albert did not go below, but took shelter in 

 the alcove abaft the starboard paddle-box, where he 

 could see the various objects that presented themselves 

 as the yacht pursued her course towards the sea. The 

 Earls of Aberdeen and Liverpool remained in the alcove 

 •with his Royal Highness, who wore a blue naval cap 

 with the gold band. Although Her Majesty was unac- 

 companied by any of the Government steamers, except 

 the Black Eagle, she was attended by several of the 

 most rapid of the river boats, which, notwithstanding 

 the unpleasaut state of the weaker, were filled with com- 

 pany anxious to accompany Her Majestv during some 

 portion of her voyage. At 10 o'clock the yacht was off 

 Erith. All the steamers proceeding to London, crowded 

 with passengers, as soon as they descried the Royal 

 stendard at the masthead of the yacht, passed her "as 

 closely as possible, and cheered her on her passage. As 

 she approached Gravesend, Tilbury fort fired a Royal 

 salute. The shores and piers at Rosherville and Graves- 

 end were denseiy crowded with spectators. Hitherto the 

 yacht had not been going at full speed, but when she had 

 passed Tilbury Fort she increased it to nearly its maxi- 

 mum. The attendant fleet of little steamers now became 

 as much an object of interest to those on board the vacht 

 as during the previous part of the voyage the Royal yacht 

 had been to them. No vessel that encountered the Vic- 

 toria and Albert last year waa able to compete with her 

 or keep company with, her for any length of time, when 

 she chose to leave them in her wake. Not so upon the 

 present occasion. The additional speed at which the 

 yacht was propelled did not alter the position of the little 

 river steamers which accompanied her. The Waterman 

 steamer No. 12 headed the squadron, No. ]o followed 

 immediately in her wake, and the Ariel followed her, 

 while the yacht was astern of the whole of them, and in 

 this position onward they sped, literally flying thraajrh 

 the water until they reached the Xore, where the Ocean 

 flag-ship at Sheerness fired a Royal salute. The yacht.after 

 leaving the Nore, altered her course and bore up to the 

 N.E., proceeding through the Channel between the Long 

 Sand and the coast, the Eclair steam-frigate, the Black 

 Eagle, and there.tof the Government steamers formin- 



a* ^ H y fT"? foUowin S i«**e*«teiy in her wake" 



At half-past 2 the squadron passed the" beacon on the 

 Gunfleet Sands, and at 3 was abreast of Harwich, where 

 a Royal salute was fired from.Lauguard Fort. There 

 were mulLituuea of persons assembled on the beach, but 

 the view of the squadron was very imperfect, the distance 



am^S l • m,lM - u At 0rfwd nes. f all the fishing 



smacks belonging to the place and the adjacent villages 



were moored in a line about five miles off the coast, and 



crowded with people of all classes, who were determined 



to give the Queen a hearty welcome. The whole of the 



crafts being decked out with colours, and the weather 

 extremely fine the scene was remarkable. At half-past 

 4 a black cloud of smoke to the southward indicated the 

 approach of the steamers, and soon afterwards the vacht 

 hove in sight, and as soon as she was abreast of the 'town 

 a buret of cheering welcomed her, and continued until 

 she had passed. Her Majesty was below, but Prince 

 Albert was on deck, with Lord Adolphus Fhzelarence 

 and others, and acknowledged the cheering bv bowin* 

 and waving his hand. At 5 the Royal squadron was off 

 Aldborough, and about it passed Soutawold, at a dis- 

 tance of about five miles from the shore. None of the 

 Bquauron of steamers were nearer than a mile from the

Ine ceremony 



considerable preparations had been made to welcome Her 

 Majesty, and a number of vessels had left the harbour at 

 an early hour to meet the yacht* At ten the squadron 

 was abreast of the castle, within two miles of the land, 

 headed by Her Majestv *s yacht, with the Royal standard 

 flying at the mast-head, when i Roy.d salafe was fired 

 from the port. After leaving Scarborough the yacht 

 continued the north-west track close in along the coast, 

 passing before 12 the Great Yorkshire Cliff, Robinhood's 

 Bcy,and Whitby, where similar demonstrations of loyalty 

 were exhibited. The squadron passed Tynemouth at 

 half- past three close in shore, loudly cheered by the 

 Tyne steamers, which went out to meet Her Majesty with 

 crowds of passengers. The passage from London to 

 Tynemouth effected by the Royal squadron is the 

 quickest on record. The distance,' 320 miles, wee ac« 

 complished in about 29 hours. The yacht reached Seaton 

 Roads at half past 4, and in an hour afterwards was run- 

 ning inside of the Coquet Islands and the coast of 

 Northumberland, the weather stiil continuing fine with, a 

 gentle breeze, and the sea almost a cal a&. Between 

 Druridge and Alnmouth the squadron was met by 

 numerous small vessels decorated with flags and colours, 

 and a steamer, similarly dressed, filled with company 

 from Wark worth, who hailed the Royal yacht with 

 cheering. . Both Her Majesty and Prince Albert were 

 promenading the quarter-deck, accompanied by the 

 Princess Royal, whose appearance elicited the most 

 intense curiosity. The cheering was long and continued, 

 and a salute of several guns was fired from the steamer. 

 Her Majesty and the Prince advanced to the larboard 

 quarter of the yacht, and acknowle< d the compliment 

 by repeatedly bowing. At 7 the Victoria and Albert was 

 abreast of Bamborough Castle, one of the squadron 

 steamers still considerably in advance. On clearing 

 South Sunderland Point their course was slightly altered 

 more to the westward, which by 9 brought them in the 

 vicinity t>f the Fern and Staple Islands, the spot where 

 the Forfarshire and Pegasus steamers were lost. At 

 midnight the light at St. Abb's Head was visible to the 

 south-west, and by 1 a.m. the Royal yacht was abreast of 

 it, steaming inside of the rocky bank in the direction of 

 Fifeness— a point of land at the extremity of the east coast 

 of Fifeshire, which separates the river Tay from the 

 Firth of Forth. Shortly before 2 o'clock, the Royal 

 yacht arrived at the entrance of the Tay, where she was 

 met by the steam ship Perth, brilliantly illuminated, and 

 decked from stem to stern with colours of every descrip- 

 tion. The Perth had been selected by the Trinity 

 Board House at Dundee to escort Her Majesty up the 

 Tay to Dundee, in accordance with the wish of the First 

 Lord of the Admiralty. The instant the Perth observed 

 the approach of the Royal squadron she fired blue lights 

 and rockets, which were answered by others further up 

 the Tay ; and, the atmosphere being remarkablv bright, 

 in a short space of time the news of Her Majesty's 

 arrival was known throughout Dundee. The yacht 

 anchored s^on after 3 a.m. It was supposed that Her 

 ?»Jyjesty might land at once, and the authorities, warned 

 by the fate of the Edinburgh magistrates last year, had 

 made every preparation in< case of such an event. As 

 soon as the arrival was known, a salute of 21 guns was 

 tired from Broughty Ferry, tar barrels were°lit, and 

 rockets thrown up. The Queen, however, did not dis- 

 embark till the morning was more advanced. Ac half- 

 past 8, Her Majesty, accompanied by Prince Albert and 

 the Princess Royal aod her suite, left the Royal 

 yacht and entered the state barge, which was steered 

 by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence. At a quarter to 

 9 o'clock, Hen Majesty lauded at the quay, where 

 she was received by the authorities. No salute 

 was fired, but this had been determined on for sufficient 

 reasons. The Royal party included the Duke of Buc- 

 cleuch, the Earls of Aberdeen, Liverpool and Jersey, 

 and their suites. The Black Eagle, the Stromboli, and 

 the Volcano steamers, accompanied the Royal yacht 

 W hen Her Majesty stepped ashore the yards were 

 manned, and the scene was animated by the cheering of 

 the sailors. Nor were the spectators behind-hand, for 

 they cheered most loyally. I a a few minutes Her 

 Majesty had reached her carriage, and the Royal party 

 drove off through the town amidst the vociferous accla- 

 mations of the people. Some were heard to grumble 

 that the carriage was a close one, and that the Queen 

 could not be seen ; and, what was to them perhaps as 

 mortifying, that Her Majesty could not see all the gay 

 prepar- , M made for her. The Roval carriages were 

 accompanied by a town procession, and by tho authorities, 

 and proceeded with the Queen to Dudhope church, where

 and the bells ia the church of St. Nicholas were rung.
