Salutes and ARRESTING A WORKMAN.—A case of great im portance to working men was decided by the Wolverhamp ton magistrates on Thursday. Messrs. Farmer, of that town, had ( - riven notice to the men in their employ that they contemplated a reduction of the prices hitherto paid for a certain description of work. The new terms were accepted by some of the men , but re j ected b y o thers , among the latter being George Humph ri e s , who at , once quitted th e premises, and proceeded to Birmingham, where ho obtained employment. Messrs. Farmer, thinking that their men were bound to give 14 days' notice before leaving, obtained a war rant against Humphries ' who was arrested, and conveyed back to Wol ver h a m p t on , i n char g e of an officer. The magistrates, however, decided that the iklessrs. Farmers had made an ' important mistake, and that their notice of the reduction was a virtual cancelling of the engagement under which Humphries had entered their service. The charge against the man was, therefore, dismissed, Messrs. Farmer being condemned in costs. It was announced at the same time that Humphries intended to bring an action against his late employers for false imprisonment ; but the difficulty was arranged in court, Humphries compromising the mat ter by the acceptance of £5, 4 - ~~ - ~rz . -.0 , • .. .::, - ,,g. , :t. - - , )0 4i ' . • ~. - ~,7- \ .s. 6 ~i -,,..., • .. ~.../ 4' . ..„ . .e.,-,.. r _-, . 0 ~,i,m , 4... il?4, - 70 , .-- -,,,,, i,v4,, .., ~ 41,31•3, 4 ,,,...._ , . , ...-.., . - ...., ~./ . , vavii„orr,§ , ~".--s , • ,,l it ~ ., 94 ..,...„. t, ,i , t r.. ) ,,* ..,..,,,,,,„.„..,. ,„ , - - 1 4 :,.

MOROCCO The Ghraltar Chronicle of the 19th publishes the following letter from its correspondent at Tan gier, received by her Majesty's steamer Vulture " Tangier, Sept. 18, 11 a.m. " Both from Fez and Mequinez it is announced that many people, in the form of deputations, had left their cities to meet the Sultan. " From Rabat nothing is known, in consequence of the foot runners, who convey the letters, being intercepted by hordes of Moors, who destroy the correspondence. This proceeding indicates that the country is not, on the whole, tranquil. "The accounts which the Moors bring from Ceuta are of course that in every attack they repulse the Spaniards and come off victorious. More than one Moor has been observed congratulating a Bedouin for insuring to himself Paradise by killing an infidel in the war, or taking part in executing one of them " In case of a rupture between her Catholic MaL jesty's Government and that of his Sheriffian Ma jesty, Mr. Blanco, the Spanish Charge d'Affaires, have to take his departure, and the Spanish subjects who may not be willing to follow him will remain under the protection of the French .flag, as was the case at Tetuan, where' the Spaniel' Vice consul having withdrawn, Mr. Nahon, the French consul, took under his protection the Spaniards who remained, as well as the faluchos of that nation which were in the harbour. " Her Majesty's steam-sloop Vulture returned from the coast, and left shortly afterwards for Gib raltar. Consequently you will learn the, news she conveys there, perhaps with more exactness than the particulars I could communicate. "The three Portuguese men-of-war are still here. The Prince has not as yet come ashore. Mr. Celan°, the consul, has been several times on board." We (Chronicle) glean the following particulars concerning the cruise of her Majesty's steam-sloop Vulture, which returned yesterday morning (the 18th inst.) from the coast of Barbary : " On the Bth instant her Majesty's steam-sloop Vulture, Capt. F. A. Campbell, left the Rock and proceeded to Tangier, apprehensions being enter tained respecting the safety of the British subjects residing in the empire of Morocco. Three Spanish men-of- war were lying at Tangier when the Vul ture arrived, and in the course of the evening they were reinforced by two others. Considerable ex citement prevailed on shbre, and rumour represented a large body of Kabyles a few miles outside the walls, ready, on a given signal, to rush into the town with a view to pillage. The gate of the tofu was vigilantly guarded, and a loaded fieldpiece was in waiting anxious to give the marauders a warm reception. In the course of the night firing was heard in the streets, and every eye from the har bour was directed towards the repeated flashes. After a little time the conclusion was come to that the firing was merely part of the celebration of a Moorish wedding. " That night the Vulture, having on board the English Vice-Consuls of Saffi. and Cassabianca, left for Mazagan, where she arrived at Saturday morn ing. A meeting of European residents had already determined that measures be taken to defend them selves to the last, and a supply of powder from the English steamer made their preparations complete. All the ivomen and children had been sent on board a Portuguese vessel. Sunday morning the Vulture landed the Vice-Consul of Saffi, and the same day arrived at Mogadore, where the Vice-Consul reported all quiet. Next day the Vulture saluted the Moorish flag with 21 guns, which was returned.. Every where along the coast evidences of a good feeling were observed towards the English. Contempt for the Spaniards is generally expressed ; and the other day, when a Spanish man-of-war attempted to enter the harbour on the south side and got aground (since got off), the expressions of the de lighted Moors were anything but complimentary. On the 14th the Vulture left Mogadore and next day anchored off Saffi. On arrival the Moors saluted with 21 guns, which was returned. Several of the Governor's family went on board, and seemed delighted to see theittEnglish friends. On a previous occasion a great number of officers had taken coffee at the Governor's and Dr: Duigan had been instrumental in effecting a cure in the case MC of au infant child of his Excellency ; which accounts for the cordiality existing between the Governor's family and the English. " On the 16th the Vulture was again atMazagan. Firinc , had been heard in the direction of Azimoor, and the videttes of the Mazagan corps could be seen on the hills looking out for the enemy. The Go vernoor of Azimoor is unpopular, and he had sent a considerable amount of dollars to Mazagan for safety On the evening of the 16th the Vulture landed Mr. Woolridge,Niee-Consul, at Cassabianca, and next day arrived at Tangier. Three Portuguese men-of war, one Spanish, and one French were there." Intelligence had been received at Gibraltar from Tangier, announcing that all the European'Consuls' gardens in the vicinity of that city were destroyed by fire on the night of the 13th, The garden of the British Charge d'Affaires, which was considered one of the largest and most beautiful in the country (ad joining that, of the Spanish Consul's), had on .its site a summer residence, out-offices, &e. It is sup posed that this act of incendiarism was committed by the mountaineers out of revenge for havingbeen prevented from pillaging the city a few days before. The correspondent of the Chronicle says,— " Tangier, Sept. 15. - • _ " The night before last the Moors set fire to some of the gardens belonging to the European residents which they have for the recreation of their families ; but, thanks to the friendly assistance of the popula tion the flames were quickly extinguished without much damage'being done. This act of incendiarism has shaken the confidence which was manifesting itself, and there can be no doubt the act was pre meditated, for an occurrence of a similar kind rarely happens here. " Sept. 1.6.--t--A Portuguese squadron, composed of three men-of-war, have cast anchor in the bar, which, it is said, is under the command of a Prince who, in all probability is the Duke of Oporto, but having just arrived no particulars have transpired." A letter from the same correspondent, received by the French Government steamer Phare, commu nicates some interesting particulars concerning the dispute pending between the Spanish Government and the Moors : - " Tangier, Sept. 13. " When the news of the death of the Sultan be came known, Sidi Mohamed El Katib, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, sent several despatches to Mr. Blanco, the Spanish Charge d'Affaires. The object of this proceeding was to get the ultimatum with drawn, alleging as he did two powerful reasons. First, because he could not, until his confirmation by the new Sovereign, receive him in his official capacity ; and secondly, that perhaps the Emperor would accede to all the claims made by Spain, and therefore there will be no necessity for the ultima tum. Mr. Blanco refused ; but it seems he consulted, by means of the telegraph at Algesiras, his Govern ment, who have approved of the withdrawal of the ultimatum until his Sheriffian Majesty's disposi tions are known. Sidi Mohamed El Katib continues at Tetuan. He has not come to this place as was supposed by the Gibraltar Chronicle of the Bth inst. ; but the person who arrived here in the Red pole is Erzini's Moor. Said Guessus. " The presence of the Spanish steamers' and the news daily brought from Algesiras respecting the troops destined to make an attack on their terri tory, which are in that town, causes not the least impression on the Moors. " Sept. 14, 8 a.m.—Mr. Drummond Hay has ar rived in the French steamer Egyptien. We are glad he has come in such good time. It is the gene ral belief that, by virtue of his influence with this Government, he may succeed in effecting an, ar rangement, notwithstanding all the noise the Spanish papers have been making about the affair, refusing all mediation, &c. Little attention is paid here to all this. Should Mr. Drummond Hay s.ue ceed in preventing a conflict whic h could but bring misery on the poorer classes of the empire, it would be adding another to the many important services already rendered by him to this Government and his countrymen, and for which at .the same time they offer the tribute of their most profound respect and gratitude." The master of the Spanish felucca Santa Ana, which had arrived at Gibraltar from Nemours, took there the following report of an engagement between the French troops and the Moors on the frontier near that garrison, of which a short account has previously- reached us by telegraph " The Moors on the frontier, having made an in cursion into the French territory, cut all the tele graph wires and committed other ravages at . a small town two leagues from Nemours ; in conse quence of which the French General ordered part of the forces stationed at Nemours, which then numbered about 15,000, to attack them, which they did on Sunday morning at 5 o'clock- The attack ing party WA chiefly composed of Zouaves. The THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1859. HER MAJESTY'S ENTERTAINMENT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION. The visit paid by 200 members of the British Association to the Queen's Highland'home, on the invitation of her Majesty, will long be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to be of the number present in Balmoral on Thursday last. It will be in the recollection of our readers that the in vitation was originally limited to the members of the general committee of the association. It was afterwards extended to life members of the associa tion, to gentlemen who had read papers during the late meeting of the body, and to the officers of sec tions, precaution being, however, taken by the executive of the association that the entire number to whom invitations were issued should not exceed 200. It is not believed that this limitation was at the command or even the desire of her Majesty or his Royal Highness the Prince Consort. It is sup posed to have been the act of the council of the learned society to which this distinguished honour was paid, who apprehended that at so ahort a notice sufficient posting accommodation could not be had to convey more than 200 from Banchory, where the Deeside Railway ends, to Balmoral, a distance of 33 miles. This was, however, a mistake. A larger number might have been carried down on similar terms as those charged by the association for the conveyance of the members to whom they had dis tributed invitations. At all events, parties might have gone by the ordinary public 'conveyances, or by vehicles hired on their own account; and there can be no doubt that the limitation and the mode of distribution fixed upon by the council gave rise to much discontent amongst the general body of mem bers. The gates of Balmoral were thrown open with Royal hospitality on the occasion, and all who en tered, even the most humble, were regaled with right Royal abundance. But in saying this now we are rather anticipating what is to follow. Six o'clock was the hour named for the starting of the special train which was to convey the favoured 200 to Banchory. There had been a gene ral breakfast in Douglass' Hotel at rive, and in three-quarters of an hour after the invited had mus tered in strong force at the railway station. At a few minutes past six the engineer's whistle screamed, and the train set off under the most favourable auspices —a genial atmosphere, a sunny sky, and a " merrie companie." The road by the Deeside to Banchory is very beautiful. About three miles from Aberdeen is Banchory House, the residence of Mr. Thompson, convener of the county of Aberdeen. This was the house at which his Royal Highness the Prince Consort stopped when ho visited Aber deen to open the meeting of the British Association. Some three miles farther on is the Roman Catholic College of Blairs, the only establishment of the kind which the professors of that religion have in acot land. On the lands of Cutler, nine miles Trom Aberdeen, the line crosses the burn of that name, and runs quite close to the remains of a Roman camp, called Norman Dikes, and supposed to be on the site of the Roman town and station of Devusia. This was, as may readily be supposed, an object of great interest to the archceologists w who were of the party. Several mansions of Scottish gentry meet the eye between the burn of Culter and Ban chory ; the most remarkable of which is Crathes Castle. the residence of Sir James Hornett Burnett, Bart., of Legs. This is a fine old Flemish build ing, and looks down from the :fight on a sloping mass of thick woodland rich foliage. The banks of the Dee are exceedingly picturesque from this to Banchory, about 17 miles from Aberdeen, and which the special train reached at about seven o'clock. Here there were six vehicles with four horses each waiting to convey the members of the association to Balmoral. Two of them were ordinary stage coaches; the other four were omnibuses of very large size, such as are to be seen in Glasgow and other large Scotch towns. Some ladies and.gentle men—for be it observed that there were ladies of the party, though we are not aware that there are ladies on the general committee or amongst the officers of sections, or that any of the fair sex read papers at the late meeting—had conveyances pro vided for themselves and friends, but travelled in line with the associates' carriages. Several ladies graced the roofs of the latter. Soon after seven the whole cavalcade left Banchory without any of the party having partaken of the breakfast which the proprietor of the refreshment rooms had prepared for them. On the road more than one benevolent philosopher expressed his sympathy with the caterer who had Euch a quantity of eatables left upon his hands in a place where the sale of even such com modities cannot be very brisk; but as will be seen hereafter, that disappointed individual contrived to compensate himself when he got the savans into his hands on their return at night. Banchory, the point from which the Queen and the royal family invariably post to Balmoral when proceeding to the Highland palace, is a rather straggling village ; but the country about it is very pretty. A very grand prospect is had from the Bridge of Feugh, at which the Dee is joined by the Feugh, which comes roaring down from the mountain and dashes its moss-stained foam over the huge rocks that lie beneath and at either side of the bridge. To the north rises the magnificently wooded hill of Sculthe, topped by a tower, from'which an exten sive view of sea and mountain scenery is had. The first village of any size passed through by the com pany is Kincardine-O'Neill, which is about eight miles from Banchory and 26 from Aberdeen. From this to Aboyne is five miles more, and here the phi losophers, who had been waxing hungry for some time before, literally " pitched into" breakfast. It is a matter of no small credit to the resources of :he Huntley Arms," the inn of this village, that . _ the proprietor was able to comply with an unex pected demand for 200 breakfasts. Having nourished " the inward man," the company re mounted, and entered the wild heath called the Muir of Dinnet. A stream which crosses this deso late ground is generally accepted as the boundary between the lowlands and the highlands. Here the mountains commence to appear in their gran deur. The hill of Morven is the highest in this direction. It is round and somewhat flat in the outline, and from the road where the traveller catches a glimpse of the Loch of Kinnaird, where there are the ruins of a castle supposed to have be longed to Malcom Canmore. A little beyond this several high mountains appear one after the other till the traveller is almost surrounded by hills, the tallest and most distant of which is the famed Loch nagar, the summit of which is 3,800 feet above the level of the sea. To many of the company, as they saw the noble mountain for the first time, there at once came the remembrance of Byron's splendid lines, commencing— " Away ye gay landscapes, ye gardens of roses I In you let the minions of luxury rove ; Restore me the rocks where the snow flake reposes, ' Though still they are sacred to freedom and love. Yet, Caledonia, beloved aro thy mountains, - Round their white summits though elements war, Though cataracts foam 'stead of smooth flowing fountains, I sigh for the valley of dark Loch na garr. A little further on, and the poetical gave place to other feelings ; for as the party approached Balla ter the clouds opened, and down came such rain as can be seen and felt only in the Highlands. To say that it " rained," would give but a very meagre idea of the downpour that in a few minutes had percolated Scotch rugs, saturated waterproof hats, and' given to all the outsiders the appearance of a company en route to hot baths, after having been rescued from drowning by the timely exertions of the Royal Humane Society. The ladies who rode on the roofs stood or rather sat it gallantly. Several of them opposed propositions for taking them in side, and declared that they liked it, as it made them feel that they were " doing" the Highlands in the orthodox manner. This tremendous rain stopped in about twenty minutes or half an hour after its commencement as suddenly as it had come on ; the sun again shone out brilliantly, the roofs were cleared of drenched rugs, hats and caps were shaken, and it was unanimously agreed that the scenery looked nothing the worse of the shower. A short stay was made at Ballater, which is 24 miles from Banchory, and nine from Balmoral. It is a beautiful village. Tho Rock of Oaks, or in the vernacular, " Craigendarroch," a steep round hill, rises from the village to a height of about 800 feet. At the base of the hill stand s M ona lt r i e House, the residence of one of the Farquharson family. Craigendarroch is separated from a loftier and more precipitous rock by a very picturesque chasm known as " the Pass of Ballater." On the south side of the river stands the farmhouse of Ballatrich, in which Byron lived for some time. On every side the scenery from Ballater to Balmoral is magnifi cent. There are two roads along by the Dee ; the one on the north bank is that by which the party of British associates travelled. Within about a mile of Balmoral is Abergeldie Castle, which is usually oc cupied by the Duchess of Kent when the Queen is at the Highland Palace, but which, during the pre sent season, in the absence of her Royal Highness, has been placed by her 'Majesty at the disposal of Lord J. Russell, who with his family is at present occupying it. This castle is splendidly situated. It lies by the side of the river encircled by birch trees, and surrounded within a distance of a few hundred feet by lofty mountains. The building is an irregular one, surmounted by a square tower, the turrets of which have a good effect, as they start up here and there amongst the tall trees, which are in great luxuriance about the castle. The road runs very close to the house, but between them flows the river, which is crossed by a rope and cradle bridge. This rustic contrivance adds an additional charm to this enchanting residence. Continuing on by the north side of the Dee the party reached the village of Craithie. This village is a very small one indeed. It consists of not more than a score of cottages and a very unostentatious looking church. This is the one in which her Majesty and the Royal household attend Divine service. The cottages are all of the better class. A few yards beyond the church the river is crossed by a new and very simple-looking iron bridge. This bridge leads directly to the principal entrance to Balmoral, which is not more than about 100 yards from the south end of it. The gate and lodge at this entrance are of the most unpretending character. Two piers, some six or eight feet high, support a plain iron gate; a modest looking lodge, built of granite, stands to the left. Through this gate the party entered without alighting, and were conveyed to the palace, which is situated at a short distance from the entrance to the demesne. The reversion of the lease of the Balmoral estate was bought by the Prince Consort in 1848, and in 1852 the fee simple was purchased by his Royal High ness from the Fife trustees for a sum of £32,000. The new castle has been erected at the expense of his Royal Highness. It stands near the margin of the Dee, which here flows by the base of the moun tain range of Craig-an-Gowan, and the royal resi dence is on a peninsula. It is of the Scottish baronial style of architecture, modified in some of the details so as to combine the more bold and pro minent features of the ancient stronghold with the more domestic character of modern times. The design is two separate blocks of buildings connected by wings. At the east angle is a tower thirty-five feet square, and eighty feet high. i This is sur surrounded by a turret, which is ascended by a circular staircase. The top of the turret is 100 feet from the ground. The main entrance to the castle is on the south side. The north side faces the Dee. The north and west of the structure are both very ornamental, the granite, of which the entire build ing is constructed, being on those two sides highly finished off with carved corbellings, riband and rope mouldings, &c. The architecture on the south side is very simple, but the granite' is all dressed in ashler work; and the castle, standingas it does in the midst of giant mountains, seems in every way a fitting residence for the Sovereign when dwelling amongst her North British subjects'. Refreshments were served up to her Majesty's visitors on this oc sion in a fine apartment at the north side of the castle. It is unnecessary to say that they were supplied on a scale of queenly hospitality, and in cluded all that any could expect to find in such a place. The liquids included even the national sti mulant, Scotch whisky, as well as the choicest wines, and nothing in its way could exceed the attention shown by her Majesty's domestics to the Royal guests. The visitors from Aberdeen arrived about two o'clock, and at about half past two the Queen and Royal Consort with the Prince of Wales, Prince Arthur, the Princess Alice, the Princess Helena, and the. Princess Louisa came out to the terrace on the west of the Castle. Her Majesty wore a dress of Stuart tartan, with a light grey cloak and straw bonnet. The Princesses were at tired in dresses and cloaks somewhat similar to those of her Majesty, their tartans being of a smaller pattern. Their Royal Highnesses wore round black hats. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, and Prince Arthur were attired in the full Highland costume, their plaids being of the Stuart tartan. In front of the terrace is a flat green award. This was ap proached from the terrace by a flight of steps, whch were, on this occasion, covered with scarlet cloth.l At the head of the steps was a beautiful little military tent, inside and also in front of which were seats for her Majesty and the Royal family. At the foot of the steps on the grass were also seats for the same illustrious personages. These chairs and couches were all covered in rich scarlet leather. Here and there about the ground in front of the Royal tent wore other tents, to the nnmber of about a dozen, and of various shapes, which were so arranged as to form within their boundary a grassy space on which the Highland games were to be gone through in presence of the Sovereign and her visitors. The largest of the tents was to the north of the play ground, and was a very splendid affair indeed. The Queen and the Royal family stood under its shelter during a portion of the games. When her Ma jesty came from the castle and took up her position in front of the Royal tent the scene in Balmoral demesne was a groat one. In front of her Majesty stood at short distances apart three Highland clans —the Duffs (Earl of Fife's), the Farquharsons (Mr. Farquharson s, of Invercauld), and the Forbeses (Sir C. Forbes's), all in their peculiar costumes, at tended by their pipers, and headed by their chief tains. The Duffs curried very warlike looking spears, which added greatly to the picturesqueness of their appearance. To her Majesty's left, but in the hollow below her, was the band of the 93d Highlanders, who played " God save the Queen," as her Majesty approached to the edge of the ter race. Behind the clans, but still in front of her Majesty, and in a position to see all that was going on, stood the tenants on the Queen's and the neigh bouring estates, who were by her Majesty's gra cious command admitted, without any exception, to witness the games her Majesty had commanded for the amusement of her visitors. The strains of the military band were almost drowned in the enthusiastic, though respectful, greeting which the clans and the people gave the Queen when she appeared amongst them, His Royal Highness the Prince Consort was also loudly cheered. In the Royal party was has Royal Highness the Count de Flandres, and near the august personages were Lord John Russell, Lady and Misses Russell, the Earl of Elgin, the Earl and Countess of Fife, Mr. Farquhar son, Mrs. Farquharson, and the Misses Farquhar son of Invercauld, the ilon. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, Sir James and Lady Clark, and many other dis tinguished persons. Her Majesty had in the most condescending terms intimated her desire that the members of the British •Association, her visitors, should be accommodated on the terrace in her im mediate vicinity. When the Queen had signified her Royal pleasure the games commenced by that of " throwing the hammer." Men from each of the clans took a share in it, and after a display of great strength and agility on the part of all, the first prize was awarded to one of the Forbes men. The prizes consisted of claymores, dirks, horns, and plaids, all provided at the expense of her Majesty. The claymores and dirks - were of beautiful work manship, and richly mounted. The mountings on the horns were also very costly. When the Queen was informed of the name of the victor she descended to the foot of the step', and taking the prize pre sented it with her own hand. The next game was " throwing the caber." The caber is a large and heavy pole, about twelve feet high, somewhat flattened at the top, and heavier at the bottom than above. This is lying flat upon the ground, when the High lander comes, and taking it by the heavy end raises it to an upright position, the top being, of course, very considerably above his head, and the part he holds being on a level with his breast. He poises the pole, which has very much the appearance of a young tree stripped of the bark, for a few seconds, and dm, with an effort of much muscular force and adroitness, throws it from him, at the same time heaving it into the air above. The feat to be achieved is to make the pole perform a somer sault and. fall flat at the greatest distance possible from the thrower. The display is a mostinterest ing one to the spectators. In the first place, you watch with great eagerness the skill of the High lander in balancing the pole into a favourable posi tion far the heave. He moves about under it like an acrobat, till it is quite perpendicular with the earth. You then see by the display of muscle on his back, neck, shoulders, and arms, that all his strength is being summoned for the coup. A second or two more and the pole is floating in the air, the heavy end going slowly up to change places with the lighter, but sometimes, alas ! for the gal lant fellow who has thrown it, to fall back again just as it has reached a perpendicular! When this takes place the buzz of excitement on the part of the spectators gives place to a scarcely expressed, but unmistakeable demonstration of sympathy. But in the majority of cases the heavy end goes clean over, and a warm expression of approbation, though without cheering, which is never indulged in till the Queen has given the signal for it, greets the manly fellow who has accomplished the feat. The palm is given to the Hercules who has both caused the great pole to perform the somersault and thrown it the greatest distance from him. But besides the chief prize het' Majesty bestowed two others at the end of each game performed in the Royal presence. Throwing, or, as they call it in the Highlands, "putting he stone," followed. This was done in the ordinary manner known in England; the stone was, however, of great weight. A very exciting contest succeeded, namely, a foot race, in which some 10 or 12 High landers contended. This to southern and foreign eyes was an extraordinary scene. The Highlanders who ran wore no coats or jackets, but were in their shirt sleeves. Only two out of the entire number were burdened by shoes or stockings. They ran bare-footed, bare-legged, and bare-headed. They I were started from the edge of the terrace, and left of the Queen, and proceeded on for about a quarter of a mile in the direction of the wild pass of Inver cauld, which, with its overhanging and noble cliffs, faces the side of the castle on which her Majesty stood. The appearance of so many kilted men with their bare legs and feet, with their hair float- , ing distractedly in the breeze, rushing at full speed amongst the giant mountains that looked down on , them from every sde, was something that carried one's mind back to the ancient Britons, as we may suppose them to have been in the days When the efforts of Agricola were directed to keeping them in order. A line was kept along the return quar ter of a mile by men of the 93d Regiment of High landers, who stood at distanees of a few paces from each other, and held small flags. All the runners came home at a capital pace, but one of the 'Duff men was, in sporting phraseology, " a good length" in advance of his competitors, and received from the hands of her Majesty the first prize, in the shape of a splendid tartan plaid. The dances followed. They were in great variety, and some of them were certainly altogether new to most of the Queen's visitors, though they did not " astonish the natives." The Abbe Moigno, ono of the distin guished foreigners present, remarked that he had seen somewhat similar dances in Brittany. In some instances six or eight of the clansmen danced, in others only two. The sword dance was one of those which attracted most attention. There was something very pretty in seeing ,men from each of the three clans dancing together with such cor dial good feeling, after the contests in which they had previously been engaged. Her Majesty and the young princesses appeared to greatly enjoy this portion of-the-nmeements. The Queen seve ral times gave the signal for applause, and bowed graciously to the Terpsichorean mountaineers, who displayed their agility for her entertainment and that of her visitors. The whole was brought to a close by four young gentlemen, sons of Highland chiefs, who danced iu splmidid style, and in a manner perfectly characteristic of their clans. Her Majesty and the Royal family then bowed in the most gracious manner to the Highlanders and all others assembled in the demesne. The Duffs raised their spears, and the men of all clans took off their bonnets and flourished them over their heads whilst they gave three tremendous cheers for the Queen, followed by three for the Prince Consort, and three for the Prince of Wales. The people joined in this demonstration, which was altogether spontaneous and heartfelt. The band of the93d then struck up the National Anthem, and the Queen and Royal family retired to the castle. It was now precisely half-past five o'clock. The members of the British Association found their car riages in waiting by the south side of the palace, and in a few minutes more they were all under weigh. On passing along the avenne through the Queen's grounds, and on coming out at the entrance gate they were greeted with loud cheering by her Majesty's tenantry. As they crossed the bridge over the Dee the Duff men were marching along spear in hand, and presented a very imposing ap pearance indeed; they cheered the members of the 'association and received a cheer in return. While the games were being performed there were one or two light showers. Her Majesty took no heed of them, and did not seem to even think of an umbrella until one was handed to her by the Prince of Wales. It was a general remark that the Queen never looked better nor happier than on this occasion. The same observation applies to her Royal Consort. Several photographic apparatus were placed in desirable positions for taking views of the various scenes that presented themselves in the Royal grounds during the day. To what extent the artists succeeded we cannot say. The members of the Association arrived at Ban- 1 chory soon after eleven p.m. Here, at the railway refreshment rooms, they , found plenty to eat and drink. On asking the price of any article the in quirer was informed, " Oh ! sir, everything is to be paid for afterwards." From this reply, and from the fact of the persons in attendance declining to take any money then tendered to them, it was sup posed that this entertainment had been provided tit the expense of the association. This, however, proved to be a mistake; for when the company were seated in the railway carriages, a man came round and demanded and received one shilling for every cup of tea or coffee consumed, and sixpence for one or two biscuits. On being remonstrated with for this excessive charge, and- for the manner in which the ladies and gentlemen had been thrown off their guard, he coolly said, "We have not the British Association here every clity." The special train left Banchory at twelve, and reached Aberdeen at ten minutes before one o'clock. THE RIFLE CORPS MOVEMENT. YORKSHlRE.—Communications have just been received from the Secretary for War, through the medium of Earl Fitz williatn, Lord-Lieutenant of the West Riding, containing the information that her Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to approve and accept the services of the two compa nies of rifle volunteers already formed in Bradford, under the Act 44 George 111., cap. 54. The compa nies are to rank tin precedence as the sth and 6th Companies of the West Riding of Yorkshire Rifle Volunteers, and her Majesty has been graciously pleased to approve the following appointments of officers :-sth Company : Samuel Cunliffe Lister, Esq., to be captain ; Wm. Henry Salt, Esq., lieu tenant ; and Samuel Milne Smith, Esq., ensign. Joseph Farrar, Esq., to be supernumerary lieute nant on the strength of the company. 6th Com pany : William Henry Brayshay, Esq., to be coptain ;. Abraham Briggs Foster, Esq., (of Queens head), lieutenant ; and Henry Sagar Hirst, Esq., ensign ; John Little McMichan, Esq., to be hono rary surgeon of both companies. SOUTH HERTS.—ahc names of 61 gentlemen have already been sent in for enrolment as members of this cons. Donations to the amount of nearly £5OO, and annual 'subscriptions to the amount of £l5, have also been received. BERKSHIRE.— A few days ago the Lord-Lieute nant, the Earl of Abingdon, forwarded a latter to a committee of gentlemen in Reading interested in the formation of a volunteer rifle corps, and inti mated that Reading was the only town in the county in which the attempt had been successful. As there are numerous offers from mechanics and artisans, it is new proposed to form two other com panies, but a large sum will be required to enable the committee to supply them with uniform, arms, accoutrements, &e., free of charge. The first ex pense wittre.ach a sum of £l,OOO, and to keep the corps in a state of efficiency will require at least £5OO per annum. Mr. John Simonds, a gentleman living in the town, has promised a subscription of 100 guineas, and subscriptions are expected to come in liberally from the gentry of all parts of the county, in consequence of the failure to form corps in other districts. SCOTLAND.—A general meeting of the Port- Glasgow Volunteer Rifle Corps was held in the parochial board rooms on the evening of Wednesday last, for the purpose of electing non-commissioned officers, &c., when the following appointments were made :—Hon. surgeon, J. Ellis Freeland, Esq., M.D. ; colout'-sergeant, Mr. Alex. Wyness ; secre tary, with the rank of sergeant, Mr. Daniel R. Mac lelland ; sergeants, Messrs. James Dunbar, M. Brown Orr, Andrew Harvey, and Peter Melville ; corporals, Messrs. Robert S. Wilson, Daniel C. Smith, Peter Buchan, Robert Freeland, jun. ; lance corporals, Messrs. John Kirkwood, Peter Thomson, jun., William Johnstone, and Andrew Arthur. The votes were taken by ballot. The commissioned offi cers were elected at a former meeting, of which due notice was taken. A committee hasbeen appointed to arrange measures for organising a brass band in connection with the company. During the last few weeks a number of new names have been added to the roll. Hitherto the corps has met for drill in the evening in the open air, but as the days are now too short for that purpose, arrangements have been made by 'which the members will be accom modated in an empty warehouse in Scanlon-street, which has been fitted up with gas for that purpose. A number of the members have been supplied with their uniforms, and at drill the corps presents a very smart, soldier-like appearance.

FLOGGING IN THE NAVY..—ThO following is an extract of a letter from her Majesty's ship Lapwing, dated 40 miles from Malta, 22d August :—" My dear Friend, — This is a very sad thing I am going to tell you, and like. wise others. One of our boys has cut his throat. The boy's name was john Knight. There was to be 20 dozen served out on board the Lapwing, all among boys, and he was to have four dozenover the back, with a cane, whipped with wax ends; he had been flogged last m onth. They kept the body till they got to Malta, and as soon as the anchor dropped they sent a boat to the hospita l for a coffin, and buried him without any court of inquiry. The I poor boy's back was black and blue from his former lashes. There is another boy that was to have been flogged a second time, but the doctor said he could not stand t-Z7 2 )) ,' mmittee great .havoe among the Moors, whohad collected in immense numbers, and brought away, the standard and honk -belonging to the Moorish chief, besides othet triiiihiei of war. The French lost some killed and had about 100 wounded,- A small craft was immediately despatched to Oran with an order for reinforcemen ts, as the'rken Cli.G en e ral was afraid to enter the Moorish territory with the force under his command. - The prevalent opinion was that not Joss than 50,000 men would be required, for 'that purpose. A small village, two leagues from Nemours, revolted against the French authorities ; but, some troops having been sent against them they succeeded in capturing up wards of 200 rebels, who have been confined in the two castles at Nemours. Great consternation pre vailed among the European population." The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 17th inst. says,— " The Commissary-General of the army in the neighbburhood, Don Jose Flores, arrived yesterday at Algeciras to take charge of his important duties. The Bourbon, or 17th Regiment of the Line, now at Algesiras, will proceed to Trifa on the arrival of other troops expected. A battalion of the expedi tionary troops was expected to move down shortly to the Spanish lines. It was currently reported at Algesiras yesterday afternoon that a telegram had been received from Madrid, to the effect that all the disposable forces of the Spanish army had been ordered to join the Morocco expedition. These troops would be replaced by the mobilized provincial battalions. We have been favoured from an authentic source' with the following ac count of the number and stations of the. Spanish expeditionary army destined to operate in Africa : —The regiments of the line Ist Rey, 1,400 min, and 17th Bourbon, 1,400, at Algesiras; 26th Albueta, 1,400, detachments at Algeciras, San Roque, Spanish Lines, Tarifa and Ceuta.; and_ the 34th Granada, 1,400, Los Barrios; 'The battaliont of Light Infantry Ist Cataluna, 700, Los Barrios ; 2d Madrid, 700, and 4th Barbastro, 700, Ceuta ; 51h Talavera, 700,13 th Simancas,7oo, and 19th Merida, 700, San Roque.

Sir,—Taking a naval officer's view of the above subject, I trust I may again be afforded space for a few words in reply to Colonel Simmons's further explanation of his"reason for wishing to man our navy principally with marine artillery in prefer ence to seamen. As in his last letter he admits that the " trained seamen gunners are as good as marine gunners,and from their being likewise seamen are preferable as gunners on board ships, being - able to do duty in their double capacity," 'I mill consider the ques tion of " Who is the right man P" as decided; the ordinary seamen have only-to be trained as seamen gunners, and a corps admitted to be preferable to a marine artillery is at once produced. The illustra tion made use of, though—" for the same reason seamen would be preferable in the engineer depart ment, instead of men selected solely for their me chanical skill"—is wholly erroneous, and in no way applicable, for, with the exception of the engineer officers, those in the engine -room have no mechani cal skill (unless " stoking" comes under such head) and are seamen. They are taught to hand, reef, and steer; they wear the dress of seamen, and have in every respect the same characteristics.. . , The question, therefore, is reduced- to this,—. whether, as the seafaring class of our pqpulation does not afford a sufficient supply of seamen' gun ners, it would not be advisable to recruit " less pre ferable" gunners that can be obtained from another class. Granting for the moment that the marine of England cannot, as now constituted, yield an ade quate supply of fighting seamen—which statement I should be sorry to affirm myself—surely it would be expedient, before deserting the source of all Eng land's greatness, to attempt rather to increase . the whole seafaring class of the country than to recog nise immediately the utter impossibility of obtain ing the most efficient style of men for our ships. This would be done by offering the superior in ducements in increased pay, Sze., which Col. Sim mons disapproves. If the mercantile navy were to offer corresponding advantages, the united compe tition would result in causing the peasantry and other labouring classes to fill the vacuum which is at present supposed to exist. Therefore, discussing the matter upon Col. Sim mons's own premises, I cannotsee that the necessity is yet proved for establishing a standing sea army. We all have our hobbies as to how men-of-war's men are to be coaxed from the merchant service and permanently established in the navy, and I have mine, but I have not entered into tlus.discus sion in order to air any pet whims I nifty have on the subject, or to advance suggestions which are not called for, but to combat what I think a - I -Cry dan gerous proposal, which could have been made by only an unprofessional man. The elements are the creation of nature, the engine is tho work of man ; let us remember how liable is the latter to fail us, and while adopting all its advantages, let us not rely solely upon it, but retain in their hill force that race of men who know how to meet the various cir cumstances of the fawner, who while skilled gunners are at the same time smart topmen, dashing boarders, and plucky English seamen ready for all work.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, FREDERICK A. MAxsE, Captain, RN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l should not ask for a corner of your well filled columns merely for the purpose of showing that Col. Simmons has totally failed to meet the objections to his views put forth by Capt. Alaxse and myself. Writing independently of one another (my letter was delayed by the inexorable Post office regnlations affecting Saturday night) , w e dis cussed the proposition of Supplying the place of seamen by marines in words the sense of which was substantially identical, though in graphic force of expression lam well content to yield the palm. I think that few naval officers will be found to differ from us, and I hope not many of the general public. It will be sufficient to point out that no notice has been taken of the arguments drawn"from the pecu liar fitness of the seamen for naval warfare ; in bad weather for boarding, for cutting-out expeditions, for the numerous emergencies occurring at sea, nor of the assertion that none can be spared from our present complement while masts and sails are still required. I will leave any naval man to judge whether the difficulty about manning the boats has been met. Nor did these remarks affect. Col. Sim mons's own example only, which I conclude he now allows to have been faulty, but applied to his general principle. I am, however, inclined to think that one small improvement might be made in the direction he wishes. Not one seaman can be spared, not one boy (for these are the embryo sea men), but some of the ship's artificers might perkap - s be drilled as marines capable of taking their turn at the guns. As these, however, are now employed in connection with the magazine, not much would be gained. One more remark may not be misplaced. Col. Simmons has been forced to admit that the trained seaman is pro tanto superior to the trained marine, but he argues that we should make the change he desires because the trained marine is bet ter and more easy to be got than the untrained sea man. Is he aware of the great improvement lately introduced by the continuous service system, and that every one of the men who enter under it will be trained to a point at least equal to that which could be expected of marines ? Furt her, the plans about to be adopted for creating a reserve force and for educating lads in mercantile ports involve gun drill as an essential portion of them. But I set out with saying I should not think it necessary to touch those points again. I write espe cially to notice Col. Simmons's condemnation of any approach to a co mpulsory system , however limited and regulated. H ere 'l cannot but think he is in error, though it i s by no means as demonstra ble as in the former case. • If he reads the evidence of those examined before the Commission for Man ning the Navy, he will find that, while all con demned in strong terms the old barbarities of im pressment, with its gross irregularities, its unlimited time and place of service, its absence of war-pay and p r ovision for men when suddenly turned adrik, yet many of the very best and least antiquated of our officers recommended different varieties of limited and regulated compulsoryservice. He will have ob served, too, that Gen. Shaw Kennelly and others insist on the necssity of applying the ballot, in order to procure a local, over and above the regular mili as essential in any $3 - s t e m of defence we may adopt. Now, if the p r inciple is once admitted on shore, why must it " lead to open resistanse" among w arrense ? Except on the immediate imminence of h registry and ballot would only act as col lecting the assigned proportion -of men together for drill at certain periods. When required every person would have his allotted place in the ranks of his country's diefe ders,an d when the difference between this system and the old impressment was once fairly understood, I believe the opinion of the public would clearly pronounce itself in its favour. I be lieve it may be shown that the pressgang, with all its horrors, was forced on the Government in the old war by the people themselves. If the safety of the country does really depend on the adoption of this, principle, it is certainly very undesirable that it should be simply pooh-poohed. But if so, this is a story, I maintain, we, are not,even then re duced to " tell to the marines.” ---I am, sir, your obe dient servant, A NAVAL OFFICEB,. Sept. 23. I
