Seft. 23,] 



THE NEWSPAPER. 



arriving at the confluence of the two rivers, where the 

 Tummel first falls over the rocks into the Garry, Her 

 Majesty was eitremely pleased with the meeting of the 

 waters. The view at this spot is singularly beautiful, 

 and not being within the beaten track of tourists is 

 seldom visited. The Fall was increased in magnificence 

 by the immense body of water which came rushing down 

 in torrents from the mountain streams. After having 

 passed three quarters of an hour in viewing the beauties 

 cf this spot and the immediate neighbourhood, Her 

 Majesty walked back to the carriages and returned 

 to the CaBtle. On Wednesday Her Majesty rose 

 early and took her usual morning walk in the 

 grounds, accompanied by the Prince and the Princess 

 Royal. At eleven o'clock, Her Majesty and the Prince, 

 attended by two servants with led ponies, left the 

 Castle on foot, and, unattended by any of their suite, 

 forded the Garry and proceeded to climb the hill of 

 Tulloch, which overhangs the back of the Castle. Her 

 Majesty succeeded in attaining the summit of the rocky 

 mountain, a work of much labour, as some parts of the 

 hill are almost perpendicular. Her Majesty and the 

 Prince in their descent mounted their ponies at the foot 

 of the hill, and cantered back to the Castle at 12 o'clock. 

 On returning from their mountain ramble, Her Majesty 

 and the Prince partook of a luncheon, and in the after- 

 noon drove out in the neighbourhood in a carriage and 

 four, preceded by outriders. During the afternoon Her 

 Majesty accompanied the Prince into the park, where 

 His Royal Highness shot a fine buck. The carriages 

 were ordered at three, to convey the Royal party up the 

 Vale of Glen Tilt. Her Majesty there had an oppor- 

 tuity of seeing the remote solitudes and magnificence of 

 Highland scenery in all its wildness. The Prince, who 

 was on horseback, preceded Her Majesty, with a small 

 cavalcade, consisting of his noble host and some of the 

 gentlemen of the Royal suite. The foresters had been 

 out during the morning, and the red deer were seen in 

 countless myriads pouring over the craggy precipices, 

 roaming unrestrained through these rocky fastnesses as 

 Her Majesty drove through the glen. On Thursday 

 morning the Princess Royal, accompanied by Mdlle. 

 Charrier, her governess, rode out in the grounds. The 

 Prince shot another stag in the Home Park, not so 

 large as that on Wednesday, but still a splendid animal. 

 The Royal party afterwards walked out in the grounds. 

 The Marquess of Breadalbane arrived in the course of 

 the day from Taymouth, by invitation from the Queen. 

 The Hon. Fox Maule and lady also passed through 

 Blair, and left their cards at the Castle. The jeweller 

 to Her Majesty also arrived from London. About four 

 o'clock, Her Majesty, accompanied in the carriage 

 by the ladies of her suite, and by the Prince and Lord 

 Glenlyon on horseback, drove up for about three miles, 

 where, sheltered by the woods which there appear to fill 

 up the valley, they could have a view of the deer that 

 the foresters had been out in the course of the day driv- 

 ing in that direction. They had not to wait long. In 

 the course of a quarter of an hour a troop of about fifty 

 of these graceful animals appeared on the very ridge of 

 the hill, peering down into the valley below. The sight 

 was the most beautiful that could well be conceived. 

 Their forms were brought out in distinct relief against 

 the sky above the sharp, clear, and well-defined outline 

 of the hill-top ; and every movement could be discerned 

 even by the naked eye, as these graceful creatures tossed 

 their antlered heads, and appeared to 6rruff the gale. 

 Now they moved in a compact mass slowly down the 



according to her invariable custom since her residence at 

 Blair Athol, rose at 7 o'clock, and shortly afterwards was 

 seen taking her morning walk in company with Prince 

 Albert and the Princess Royal. The Princess gambols 

 about the grounds in great glee with her young playmate, 

 the Master of Glenlyon, a beautiful little boy, with fine 

 silken hair, attired in the Highland costume. Her Ma- 

 jesty took a ride after breakfast, and after luncheon pro- 

 ceeded with Prince Albert to take another drive up Glen 

 Tilt, where preparations had been made for his Royal 

 Highness to go deer-stalking. Her Majesty was exceed- 

 ingly anxious, if possible, to witness the sport, and her 

 Majesty's pony had been sent on before with one of Lord 

 Glenlyon's gillies, in order that she might alight from her 

 carriage, and ascend the rocky brow of the hill, where a 

 more favourable opportunity might be obtained of seeing 

 the herds of deer. Lady Glenlyon had preceded Her 

 Majesty up the Glen, and the Queen was accompanied 

 by Prince Albert, Lady Canning, Lord Glenlyon, Lord 

 C. Wellesley, and Sir E. Bowater. On arriving at 

 Lochlass, which is a considerable distance up the Glen, 

 Her Majesty and Prince Albert mounted the gray ponies, 

 and climbed along the rugged and precipitous sheep- 

 walks which lead to the summit of Cairnchlamman, or 

 the Hill of Gleds, so called from its being the favourite 

 resort of hawks, which are called "gleds" in this part 

 of the country. The wind unfortunately was not fa- 

 vourable for deer-stalking, and not one animal was shot, 

 but Her Majesty and the Prince succeeded in attaining 

 the loftiest point of Cairnchlamman, upwards of 2001) 

 feet high, and, perched on this dizzy eminence obtained a 

 magnificent view of the vast domains which belong to 

 the house of Athol. In ascending these rocky moun- 

 tains, nothing appears to daunt Her Majesty, and the 

 gilly who leads the pony often pauses, and looks along 

 the craggy precipice, as if fearful to conduct his precious 

 charge into the midst of such dangers ; but Her Majesty 

 orders him always to go on, and keeps her seat with the 

 same composure as if she were cantering down the long 

 walk in Windsor Park. It is said that Her Majesty has 

 even expressed her intention of ascending the barren 

 mountain Ben-y-Gloe, a feat which but few persons in 

 the neighbourhood have ever accomplished. The Mar- 

 quis of Breadalbane left the Castle for Taymouth at 

 half-past six, a.m., and Sir James Clark also left for 



Dunkeld On Sunday Her Majesty and Prince Albert, 



accompanied by Lord and Lady Glenlyon and the 

 suite, attended divine service in the parish church. 

 The building, which accommodates between 500 and 600 

 persons, was crowded to excess, a large number of 

 strangers being present, not only from the surrounding 

 parishes, but also from Dunkeld, Perth, Dundee, Glas- 

 gow, and other towns. All sorts of vehicles, coaches, 

 phaetons, gigs, and dog-carts, were in requisition, and 

 kept pouring in their occupants from an early hour in the 

 morning ; the result of which was that large numbers 

 were disappointed of admission. Her Majesty arrived 

 shortly after 12, escorted by her Highland Guard, and 

 took her seat in the Royal pew. The anxiety to see 

 Her Majesty was very great, so great as to overstep 

 church decorum, the people, especially in the galleries, 

 often rising from their seats to get a view, and staring at 

 the Queen and the Prince with unseemly pertinacity, 

 notwithstanding the hushing murmurs of the gentry of 

 the neighbourhood. Lady Canning, Lady Glenyon, Lady 

 C. Cocks, and Lord Glenlyon, attired in his Highland 

 dress, occupied the front seats of the pew. In the back 

 seats were Lord Aberdeen, Lord Liverpool, Lord C. 

 Wellesley, Sir E. Bowater, and Sir J. Clark. Her Ma- 



hill, when their forms became indistinct and blended r „ 



with the heathy slopes ; but presently they turned again, I jesty "wore a black silk dress, with a shepherd's plaid 



crested the hill, and then moving for some time along 

 the ridge, they again disappeared on tho opposite side. 

 In about half an hour, a troop, increased to between 

 200 and 300, again appeared, and again every eye was 

 fixed upon their motions. It seemed to be the object 

 of the drivers to keep them on the crest of the hill, 

 where their outlines could be most distinctly seen, so 

 that for a considerable time the herd were seen to move 

 almost in single file along the top in one direction ; then 

 a portion of them stopped and turned back ; and lastly 

 the whole herd bounded back again, though not appa- 

 rently alarmed, and finally disappeared. Of the whole 

 herd three only were now left, and men were observed 

 gaining the wind of them from various points of the 

 hill, as if deer-stalking ; but no attempt was made to 

 shoot them, as it was understood that the object was 

 merely to show Her Majesty the deer in their wild state— 

 an object in which they completely succeeded. Her 

 Majesty did not return to the Castle until nearly 

 7 o clock. Lord Ereadalbane dined with Her Majesty 

 in the everiug. On Friday morning the Queen rode out 

 on a pony for tnx^ hours shortly after breakfast, and 

 returned to the Castle at 12 o'clock. The carriages 

 were ordered to be in readiness at 3 o'clock to oS^ 

 vey Her Majesty again to Glen Tilt. Her Majesty 

 was so struck with the magnificence of the scene 

 on Thursday that she expressed a desire to pene- 

 trate still farther into the Glen, on the road towards 

 tfraemar, the forest of which is now leased to the Duke 

 of Leeds. Her Majesty was driven in the pony phaeton 

 by Prince Albert ; Lord Glenlyon, Sir E. Bowater, Lord 

 C. Wellesley, the Marquis of Breadalbane, Lady Glen- 

 lyon, and Lady Canning teing also of the party. Lord 

 Glenlyon's phaeton followed the cavalcade, which 



thrown over her shoulders, and a white crape bonnet. 

 Before the minister entered the pulpit, Mr. Peacock, the 

 precentor, published the banns of marriage for the first, 

 second and third times of asking, between Mr. Irvine, 

 the minister of the church, who preached on the previous 

 Sunday, and one of his fair parishioners. After this ma- 

 trimonial proclamation, divine service was commenced by 

 the Rev. Dr. M'Leod,one of Her Majesty's Chaplains 

 for Scotland, and minister of St. Columba, at Glasgow, 

 where the service is performed in Gaelic, for the accom- 

 modation of the vast number of Highlanders who throng 

 the streets of that commercial city. Dr. M'Leod at- 

 tended at the request of Mr. Irvine, who did not wish to 

 make his public appearance in the pulpit immediately 

 after the announcement of his intended marriage. After 

 the usual service according to the Presbyterian form of 

 worship, Dr. M'Leod preached an excellent sermon from 

 the 11th to the 14th verses of the 2d chapter of Titus. 

 The sermon was delivered in a broad Scotch accent, and 

 was a favourable specimen of the style of preaching which 

 at present prevails in the Scottish Presbyterian Church. 

 It contained a defence of the cardinal doctrine of C* 1 **' 

 nistic Christianity, viz., the inseparable unia» between 

 God's free ffrace aniLmar*'- »<~4^ratreoT life. Dr. M'Leod, 

 like his predecessor, had the good taste to abstain from 

 any allusion to the presence of Her Majesty among the 

 congregation. The concluding prayer was delivered with 

 an earnestness which came home to every member of the 

 congregation, and a distinctly audible Amen was heard 

 from every corner of the church when Dr. M'Leod 

 prayed with heartfelt fervour that Her Majesty the 

 Queen Victoria might long wear her crown, and that she 

 might yet see many happy days, and that at the last, 



Prinrp . tk . A . . ^jesty and the Prince Albert, the noble host and hostess, and the suite, 



Prince both expressed themselves delighted with the 



beautiful diversity of the scenery. The Royal party did 



not return till 6 o'clock. On Saturday Her Majesty, [day 7" Her Vajest^ ~ w^ the 



returned to the Castle. Her Majesty and the Prince 

 did not leave the precincts of the Castle during the

 Highland pony ascended a hill beside the Castle tit 

 she might have an opportunity of witnessing the groust 

 shooting of Prince Albert. la a short time Histoid 

 Highness brought down six brace, after which the roval 

 party returned to the Castle. In the morning the Princ> 

 shot another stag ; he finished it with two bullets th* 

 first not having completed the work. Lord Glenlvon 

 also took three shots at it, but missed with all On 

 Tuesday, Her Majesty again proceeded to Glen Tilt aj 

 Lord Glenlyon, at an early hour in the morning, had 

 gone down to the Castle to inform the Prince that the 

 weather would be favourable for deer-stalking. Her 

 Majesty being desirous to witness the sport, resolved to 

 accompany the Prince, and shortly after breakfast the 

 cavalcade left the Castle and went through the Glen up 

 to the Forester's Lodge. Her Majesty alighted at the 

 Lodge, and remained there for some hours, whilst the 

 Prince and Lord Glenlyon issued forth on their expe- 

 dition. The Prince was, however, unfortunately, unsuc- 

 cessful, and was compelled to return after a blank day. 

 Her Majesty continues in the enjoyment of excellent 

 health, and has derived considerable benefit from the 

 fresh air, and absence of restraint and ceremony. The 

 Highland guard are continually on duty— day and night 

 — in detachments of twenty, which relieve each other 

 every two hours. The sentinels at the principal gate 

 allow no one to pass who has not a written order from 

 Lord Glenlyon. On Saturday his lordship's brother, 

 the Hon. Captain Murray, was refused admittance, 

 on the ground that he had not such an order. 

 A sturdy Highlander on guard insisted on the usual 

 pass, and that not being forthcoming, Captain Murray 

 was told that he could not be admitted, upon which 

 he at once retired, saying that he should tell his 

 brother how well the guard did their duty. It is 

 expected that Her Majesty will leave Blair Athol on 

 Tuesday next, the 1st October, as Her Majesty will 

 be thus enabled to reach Windsor before the arrival of 

 King Louis-Philippe on the 6th inst. There is now no 

 doubt that Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and a portion of 

 the infant Royal family, will pay a visit to the Isle of 

 Wight during the autumn. Osborne House is in course 

 of preparation for the reception of the Court, which is 

 expected to arrive there immediately after the departure 



of the King of the French. 



The Royai. Family.— The Duke of Cambridge and 

 his son-in-law, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh 

 Strelitz, are making a tour in Scotland, and have been 

 on visits to Drumlanrig Castle, Hamilton Palace, Scone 

 Palace, and Inverary, during the week. His Royal 

 Highness passed through Glasgow on Monday. Their 

 Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess 

 Alice, and Prince Alfred, will leave the Pavilion at 

 Brighton for Windsor Castle on Monday or Tuesday 

 next ; Her Majesty, it is stated, having abandoned the 

 intention of visiting Brighton in the Royal yacht pre- 

 viously to her return to Windsor. ™»«f*r
