_; Saturday, August 14 The Queen In Belg...
_; _Saturday , August 14 THE QUEEN IN BELGIUM . Some particulars of the arrival of the Queen at Antwerp , on Wednesday , are given by the correspondent of the Times . There was a great crowd on the quays , who waited about patiently for many hours . The Queen arrived half an hour before King Leopold . " The Victoria and Albert steamed steadily ou about midway in the river , t _£ ll she came opposite the Porte de l'Eau , when her anchor plashed down and took hold of ground . The Queen could be distinguished on the deck , but she soon retired when it was evident the King had not arrived . The young Princes seemed in high spirits , and were running about the deck in their tiny sailors' hats and frocks and jackets as lightly as the merriest middies in the
fleet , but the closing shades of evening prevented the features of the officers and gentlemen on deck being distinctly visible from the shore . As soon as the first gun was heard at the station , Count Moerkerke drove off rapidly to the river-side , and at once proceeded oh board the yacht , and , after a stay of a few minutes , returned to shore , and Went back to the station . Two of the Royal equipages were drawn up near the landing-place , opposite to which was stationed two squadrons of the 1 st Lancers ( a fine wellmounted regiment ) , flanked by 200 of the 2 nd Chasseurs k Pied , the whole forming a very imposing body guard . The landing place , which is a sloping causeway by the quay wall , now rendered of considerable length by the falling of the tide , which was nearly at low water , was covered
with a carpeting in the centre , and in the open space cleared before it to the ground were the Count Gurowsky , the husband of the Infanta Isabella of Bourbon , and a circle of officers , gentlemen , and a few ladies . When Count Moerkerke returned to the station , King Leopold had not arrived , and it was half-past seven o ' clock when the pilot engine before the Royal train came whistling fiercely to the terminus . The King , who left Laecken at a quarter to seven , followed in about ten minutes , and was well received by the people . His Majesty , who wore a tight well-fittin g blue uniform , with large gold epaulettes , cocked hat and feathers , orders of Leopold , & c ., blue trousers with broad gold stripes , and large gilt spurs , seemed in very good
health . He was attended by two general officers and Lieutenant-Colonel Van Der Burght , and having hastily but courteously acknowledged the reception of the Burgomaster and of Messrs . _Masin , Director-General of Railways , and Strens , Chief Engineer of Railways , and tho _chcors of tho people , proceeded towards his carriage . Count Moerkerke , stepping forward , told him " The Queen has arrived . " Whereupon his majesty said , " Ah , vite done , vite / " and waa driven off rapidly to the port . Shortly bofore eight o ' clock King Leopold _embarkou on board tbo state barge—a vory handsome boat , white with gold mouldings—and wont on board the yacht , whero ho was received by Hor Majesty . "
The king , greatly to tho disappointment of his subjects , stayed on board the yacht to dinner , and did not return until ten o ' clock . " Tho next morning broko in tho most unpromising way—murky clouds flying clingingly over tho earth , and tho violent gusts of tho gale lashing tho Scheldt into foam , with frequent heavy drifts of rain whenever tho wind abated ; anil tho day by no means belied tho character of its dawn , for a wottor , windier , _nastior sort of noontide never visited ub in England , oven in tho full height of our summer . As tho morning gun fired , the threo steam frigates dressed with flags , undtowards eight o ' clock a crowd of tho poorer sort of persons gathered on tho quay in front of tho squadron . About the sumo timo a troop of Lancers
nnd lour or live companies of tho Foot Artillery , of tho 1 st Light Infantry , and of tho 2 nel Chasseurs « l Pied , preceded hy a brass band , marched down anel disposed _thomsolvos in front , of tbo landing-place . Tho water was low aa tbo tide was just on tho turn , consoquontly u groat deal of the sloping path from tho _boata to tho quay was loft uneovcrod , which men woro busily engaged in rendering fit for walking upon by tho aid of a carpet . Tho wind , howovor , took a groat animosity to tho carpet , and shook , anel tossed , anil boat it about violently , so that at last the workmen woro obliged to wheel barrows of stones , which thoy disborder tho oel
posed as a along _gos of tho tapestry , in ordor to enable it to resist such assaults . It was curiema to see umid such un _usaomblago of bright uniforms of general and inferior officers , of * burgomasters anel chefs of all sorts of departments , _theiso rough-lookirlg follows in _bleiusoH , hobbling about in thoir sabots m tho me . st unconcornod manner while they indulged in conversation with each other in a _dialoiruo of _Flemish , tbat sounded like a continuous stream of prola . no hwearing . Thon thoy woro _industrious in laying down barrels of sand along tho causeway , which tho wind would not suffer for any consideration ; and as even tho ingenious

Belgians could not cover each particle of sand with a big stone , the result was , that the wind whisked it away , and sent the sand like snipe dust into the ears , eyes , mouth , and nose of the incorporated people and army . The river sloops and droggers went skimming over the river in all directions , heeling over in spite of their great weather boards , till one could get a peep into the penetralia of the cabins and cabooses ; and a few men-of-war boats tugged slowly about from ship to ship of the squadron , squashing through the swell , which , at times , was decidedly unpleasant . As the men-of-war lay nicely in line , at nearly equal distances from each other , with yards pointed to the wind ' s eye , and all flags flying , the river , in spite of the rain and storm , looked extremely picturesque . Sailors were busily engaged aloft in laying out the ropes for
manning the yards , to the wonder of the Belgians , who did not seem to nave a large view of the general utility or beauty of such a proceeding . Nor could they understand many _manejeuvres on ship-board , which resulted after the performance by the boatswain and his mates of very shrill pieces on the whistle ; but on the whole they agreed the sight was "joli effort bean , " and only wanted more cannon in view and ul fire to be well contented for their pains . The yacht presented little appearance of life , except among the men engaged in the ship ' s duty , nor could any of thc illustrious party on board be distinguished on deck . " About half-past 8 o'clock the roll of the drums at the end of the line of infantry , followed by a flourish of trumpets , announced the arrival of the King , whose carriage ,
preceded by one outrider , and followed by two equipages , drove rapidl y up to the end of the space cleared in front of the landing-place . The King , who was attended by a general oflicer , on alighting was received by the governor of the province , M . Jeichmann , the commandant of the district , the officer commanding the troops , the burgomaster , Count de Moerkerke , & c . Although it was rain " ing at the time , he proceeded to inspect the troops drawn up before the river , walking slowly along the line , and at times touching his hat in acknowledgment of the cries of ' Vive le Roi , ' the soldiers presenting arms as he passed , and the bands at each flank performing the ' Prabantois ' in turn . The King then took shelter , such as it was , under the poplar trees which line the quay , and remained for some moments in conversation with the staff" of _officers
around him . His barge , pulled by fourteen stout rowers , lay off the landing , but it was not used by His Majesty or by the Queen . Shortly before nine o'clock , the barge of the Victoria and Albert pulled round , and hooked on to the ladder which was lowered from the starboard quarter , and several other men-of-war boats hovered close to her stern . A little stir was visible on board , and signals were exchanged with the men-of-war . Then through the misty rain one could just make out the figure of a lady stopping down the ladder into thc boat , followed by four children , by a gentleman , and by an officer in full uniform .
" All at once the shrouds of the great steamers swarmed with men , and in an instant they were lying out on tho yards , holding on for bare life in thc face of the fierce wind , in all their holiday attire of white frocks and trousers ; a puff of smoke was whiffed out of one of the ports , and the Royal standard disappeared from the main of tho yacht , and took its place in the stern of the boat , which in an instant came dancing towards the land at a tremendous rate , preceded by a man-of-war ' s gig , to point out the way to the landing . Tho King walked hastily down the laneling , and received Her Majesty as she arrived with great warmth , and immediately turned back with her on hia
arm , and entered tho Royal carriage . Thc Queen looked extremely well , and seemed in excellent good humour , for she never ceased laughing as sho walked up thc awkward incline . Her Majesty ' s reception by tho crowd was respectful , but not enthusiastic . Immediately after her carao tho Princes and Princesses , His Royal Highness Prince Albert , and tho Duko of Northumberland . Lord Adolphua Fitzclaronco steered the boat and landed , bnt did not join tho party , which at onco proceeded to tho railway station . A special engine was in readiness , anel tho Royal party went off at onco to Laecken , whero thoy arrived at ton minutes past ten o ' clock . "
