THE QUEEN AT CRATHIE CHURCH.

BALIATIM, Aram' 20.

The royal ftmly pursn3 here the life' of a country
rquite's houthi.cl', with this dis.inction, that they create
apparently less stir and commotion in the neighbourhood of

Since her arrival the has gone but twice beyond them. On
S.sturiae she vi;ited Hrkhall, where Sir JIWICII Clark is now
re tidinq.with his foxily.
O' Sunday, her Majesty, accompanied b' Prince Albert,

trimm.ii with scarlet cloth, The whole edifice had under-
gone t; fic:al pur:fication, in anticipation of their pre-
s nee. landing, which is by no means large, we
filed, but not to excess. A very long walk to church is not
thought much of in the country, rprcially in the Highland
districts. The dwellings of some of the parishienera are by
no means in cloth contiguity with the church. Crathie is a
parish of wide extent, though the population is compara-
tively small.
Tith incumbent of the parish eftliated. The whole gervita
was mom concluded, and the sermon, which was very
short, was perhaps a fair average specimen of the quality
of the instruction which our rural congregations receive.
The congregatirn behaved with the utmost propriety and
deroruw. A staid soluirry and attention pervivied the whole ;
and we wets glad to see there was not —what we fearcdthere
might have been—any rude, unseemly goring at the pew
where the Queen was seated, such as would have annoy
her. Before the benediction was pronounced, the collection
was mode through the congregation, and the elder wl o hid
th,.t pert of the church—a grave, intelligent looking man—
with all formality of demeanour, shoved kis " ladle" be-
fare the royal perry—a phenomenon, however, with viola
they last year mode acquaintance, so that their wonder was
now abated. The like propriety marked the departure of
the Queen as was displayed on her artival.—From the

OFFICIAL PAYMENTS.—In issuing an order strictly
enjoining the immediate discontinuance of a practice
has been found to exist at some of the ports, of making
advances to officers end persons out of the public money, on
amount of pensions, salaries, and 'newsmen, the eushms
authorities have desired it to be distinctly understood that
they do not intend that the practice if pat ing monthly the
retired allowances of superannuated inferior iifffeers, under
the general regulation leaned in S. ptember, 1817, /holed be
discontinued, nor the pensions of widows, or eau small pen.
stone; which have hitherto been paid monthly; but they base
directed that such allowances and pensions be paid mcnthly
in Ware, and not treated as straws payments, but taken
credit for at the time as regular Pernents.
ACCIDENT ON THE RICHMOND RAILWAY.—An at.
cident took place on this line of railway late on Tuesday
night, that might have been attended with meet serious. it
not fatal resign, and which was mainly owing to the negli-
Fence of the company. The 10 o'clock down train, consist•
tog of seven carriages, and which stops only at Putney on ita
Ontll6ll to Richmand, bad got a few yards beyond D) er': -
lane, Putney Lower-common, a level crossing, when the
engine came in collision with a horse, and the shock
was so great as to throw the contra caning., a se-
cond elms one, completely off the line. Henry Field,
the engine-driver, with the assistance of the etch. r
and
_guard, uncoupled the carriage which had
got off the metals from the three hindmost carriages, and
proceeded with that portion of the train to Barnes anti's,
when, with considerable trouble, the carriage which had
been forced off was righted, and the train backed to the
other carriages, the inmates of which mese, as may be sup-
, poetwi, very much alarmed. There were only two gentle-
men in the carriage that had been thrown off; but, beyond
a severe shaking, they experienced no hurt. The following
morning the cartage of the hone was found lying by the
side of the line, horribly mangled, and the heart, which had
been torn out by the collision, was lying nearly five yards
distant. The hone, which was the property of a Mr.
Whiting Putney Lowernamsnon, was sinned at 14 guineas,
, and bad been turned out on Barnes common only half an
heath previously. It was e admit, from the hair of the horse
remaining on the gate in Dyer'islane, that the animal had
pushed the gate open, It not having a proper and secure
fastening.
