Tim Queen and Prince Consort left Balmoral at nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, and proceeded by the North-eastern Railway, to Edinburgh. Although the Grampians were covered with snow, the Queen travelled to Banehory in an open carriage. Her Majesty was accompanied by Prince Alfred, Prince Arthur, the Princess Helena, and the Princess Louisa. Lord Stanley was the Secretary of State in attendance. At the promi- nent stations of the railway the people, headed by those of eminence in the neighbourhood, assembled in considerable numbers to pay their spon- taneous homage to the Sovereign. The Royal party reached Holyrood at twenty minutes to seven in the evening ; passed the night at the palace ; started again at eight o'clock next morning, and arrived at Windsor Castle at twenty-five minutes before nine in the evening.
