TEE Comer AT Bantomt..—On Monday evening
last, her Majesty, who wee accompanied by her Royal
Highness the Princess Helena, and the Hon. Lady Augusta
Bruce, lady in waiting, drove through Braemar vii. Lavern',
to the " Black Colonel's Cave," in the wilds of Gleneye.
Here, having alighted from the carriage, her Majesty
descended into the rocky den, which, 300 years ago, was,
for some considerable time, the safe retreat of the pro.
scribed and outlawed Colonel Farquharson of Inverey—
hem:a the agnomen it burs to this day, " The Black Colo-
nel's Cave." The cave is a most romantic and delightfully
secluded spot, and stands close to the Eye stream, which
winds like a serpent through the green glen. It consists of
a narrow ledge of rock, only accessible from one point,
overhung by a frowning, rugged precipice, festooned with
wild herbs and creeping plants, which thrusts itself
forward over the den at an angle of about 90 degrees. Her
Majesty and party, after a very interesting exploration of
this famed rocky fortress of a once brave Highland chief-
tain, partook of a sumptuous luncheon, and returned vii
Braemar to Balmoral about half-past 6 p.m, Horses were
changed both in going and returning at the Invercauld
Arms Hotel, under the personal superintendence of Mr.
Fisher.—Dundce Adrertiser.

TO LIVERPOOL -It ix reported that the Prince of

visit Liverpool and make himself in some degree familiar
with the vast extent and wonderful resources of the port.—
