THE QUEEN'S MOVEMENTS.
[PEE PBBSS ASSOCIATION.] (Received 9, 9.30 a.m.) London, March 8. The Queen has ordered the ranks of Irish regiments in future to wear on St. Patrick's Day a sprig of shamrock in their head-dress. The order has been made to commemorate the gallantry of the Irish regiments serving in South Africa. The Queen stays at Buckingham Palace from to-day till Saturday. While on her visit to Ireland she will reside at the Vice-Regal Lodge, Dublin. (Received 9, 9.55 a.m.)
London, March 8, The Queen visits Ireland early in April. The visit will be of a private character. It has no political complexion, and is undertaken at the Queen's own spsntanoous desire. It is hailed with enthusiasm by all classes in Ireland as a gracious tribute to the Irish soldiers' valour, and sympathy with the families of the killed and wounded in South Africa. (Received 10,1.50 a.m.) London, March 9. The Queen visited London. At Her Majesty's invitation, the members of the Lords and Commons awaited her in the |quadrangle of Buckingham Palace at noon. Her Majesty was radiant, and was, filled with emotion at the spontaneity of London's fervour, which equalled the Jubilee celebrations. Alter resting, she traversed the city with Princess Beatrice and Princess Christian. Her Majesty officially received the ancient ceremonial on the Temple stairs and traversed Holborn. Flags and tricolour favours were universally displayed.
The Irish newspapers are uniformly respectful to Her Majesty's I nationalism, and have cordially acknowledged the .Queen's courage in braving, at her advanced age, the rough passage across the Channel. t Several hope that her visit will be a prelude to an extension of Home Government. Mr. Redmond, in the House of Commons, expressed much gratification at the Shamrock badge for Irish regiments, and said it was a graceful recognition of their valour in the field'. The venerable Sovereign would receive chivalrous hospitality, but that would not imply an abatement of Home Rule demands.
