Tam Queen and her family returned to Windsor on Thursday, after an absence of seven weeks. Her Majesty left Balmoral on Wednesday, and proceeded to Edinburgh. She slept at Holy-rood Pekoe that night, and at half-past seven on Thursday morning set out for England. A goodly number of people, and a body of soldiers, attended her Majesty to the station ; where Sir George Grey replaced Lord Panmure in attendance on the Queen. At Berwick the Mayor and Corporation received her Majesty, and a new engine was attached to the train. At Bitten there was a second change of engines ; and here Earl Grey appeared on the platform and conversed with the Queen and Prince Albert. At Newcastle and Darlington fresh engines were put on. Her Majesty stopped at York to lunch ; and here she was re- ceived with much ceremony, Lord Mayor Meek and Sir Harry Smith being present. At Doncaster a fifth engine was hooked on to the train, while her Majesty shook hands and chatted with Lady Mary Wood. At Peterborough the Earl of Westmoreland was in attendance, and a sixth engine was attached. The train finally stopped at the goods-station, Maiden Lane ; having-performed a journey of 402 miles in ten hours and forty minutes—five minutes less than the time laid down in the pro- gramme. At:the goods-station the carriages were placed upon the rails of the North London line ; and thus her Majesty was enabled to reach Windsor by railway without a break in the journey. She arrived at Windsor Castle at a quarter before eight o'clock. The Prince of Wales came up from Osborne the same day, and re- joined his mother at Windsor.
