The Queen arrived in London on Sunday; not by sea, but by railway. After the embarkation at Aberdeen on Thursday evening, the weather be- came so heavy, that the sea voyage was abandoned and the journey by rail was chosen. The Royal party landed again on Friday morning, amidst the renewed loyal demonstrations of the Aberdonians, and made the journey to Perth: the night was passed at the George Hotel in that city. On Saturday, the distance from Perth to Crewe in Lancashire was accomplished, by special train, in nine hours and a half; and the Royal Hotel received the travellers for the night. The journey from Crewe to London was performed next day in four hours and a quarter; and the Queen, with her family and attendants, arrived safely and well at Buckingham Palace, by half-past ten on Sunday morning.
The Queen and Prince Albert, with their children, left town on Monday, for Osborne; and arrived there at an early hour in the afternoon.
