People, official and non-official, are anxiously looking out for the
ar- rival of the Queen. She is expected to reach Edinburgh on Tuesday afternoon, pass the night at Holyrood, and start again on Wednesday morning. Her intended route is described in the following paragraph of the Aberdeen Journal-
" The Royal party will start from Holyrood in the morning at half-past eight, and proceed, via Stirling, Perth, and Forfar, to Stonehaven. After lunch, her Majesty will travel by carriage, taking the Slug road to Ban- ehory ; and will reach her Highland home probably about seven o'clock in the evening. Several of her Majesty's servants, with some horses, carriages, and a large quantity of luggage, arrived at Aberdeen on Monday evening, per Earl of Aberdeen steamer, from London, and have since been for- warded to Balmoral."
Many of our readers will regret to learn that there is not only a chance but a strong probability that Mr. Macaulay will not take his seat for Edinburgh. It is confidently reported that the state of his health is such that his medical attendants have advised him to refrain from making any public appearance whatever.—Aberdeen Herald.
