THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—A nufnber
of alterations and improvements am making in Ilolyrood
Palace, in anticipation of the royal visit. Amongst the
most noticeable of these is the conversion of the room ad-
joining the Throne-room into an evening drawing-room.
This apartment is to be handsomely furnished, and sane
splendid tapestry has arrived for the decoration of its walls.
'I his would seem to indicate that we are to have this season,
what was spoken FO much about during the two last, either
a levee or a drawing-room; for either of which, from the
alterations that have been made, Holyrood Palace is now
well adapted. So far as known, nothing has as yet been
definitively settled in regard to this matter. Mr. Lyon,
who holds an important situation in her Majesty's house-
hold, under the Lord Chamberlain, arrived at Holyrood
Palace on Monday evening.—Scolemaii.
SEIZURE DI A CIIILD AT CHURCH.— Tho walls
of Plymouth were, on Tuesday and Wedmwday, p'acanled
with a bill in the following terms :—" Lost or Kidnapped,
from St. Andrew's Chapel Door, Plymouth, at the expira-
tion of Divine Service yesterday morning, Adolphus Fre-
derick Jerningham, aged nine years. Ile is tall for his age,
fair complexion and hair, large light grey eyes, fresh colour,
was dressed in a dark cloth Jacket, purple alpaca waistcoat,
brown trowsers, purple and white neckerchief, and blue
cloth cap, with a band of the same colour. The boy, who
left the pew with his mother, was supposed to be following
her how, and wan missed only a few paces from the chapel
door. Whoever can give any information of him, will please
to communicate to the mother of the child, at No. 4, Wind-
sor Villas, Plymouth, or to the lies. George lladow, St.
Andrew's Chapelry, Plymouth.—Plymouth, Aug. 11, ISa."
The child is supposed to have been carried elf by its father.
It is the third child taken from Mrs. Jerninghum. The
following particulars of the easeare from the Pipitoleit
Jounial Mr. Frederick William Jerningham is a
Roman catholic, and a brother of that Miss Jerningham
who is at the head of the nunnery recently so notorious as
the place of incarceration of Miss Talbot. Mr. Jerningham
some years since married Miss Mangles, the daughter of
the late Rev. George Mangles, vicar of Lewanniek, Corn-
wall, and that lady subsequently conformed to the Roman
catholic faith. They continued to live together for some
years; but differences eventually arose, and a separation
ensued. In ISA while Mrs. Jerningham was living with
her mother at Southampton, she still retained pusses-
sion of her children, but one morning in the month
of March Mr. Jerningham was seen watching Mrs.
Mangles' house, and having a servant in his interest,
he got the door opened for him. The two children
Came down to breakfast, when Mr. Jerniugham
rushed into the passage, threw a bonnet and shawl over each child, and forcibly carried them off. The eldest child
had been very ill, and was taken away at the risk of her
life, as she had not recovered, and the medical man had
ordered that she should not leave the house. Miss Jerning-
ham, the abbess of the convent at Taunton, received these
children, though against the consent of their mother and
grandmother, on whom the children depended. They re-
mained at the convent until the stir in Miss Talbot's case,
when they were removed to the convent of Notre Dame at
Namur, iu Belgium, where they at present remain. Mrs.
Jerningham, some six months ago, left the church of Rome,
and took sittings in St. Andrew's chapel both for herself
and children. On Sunday last, while Mrs. Jerningham was
in St. Andrew's chapel, a stranger entcre I after the service
had commenced, and looking over towards Dr. Butter's scat,
where Mrs. Jerningham had recently sat before she was
accommodated with a pew for herself and children, said
that he should like to be put into the doctor', pew. He
then excused himself from going there, and asked to be put
near where Mrs. Jerningham sat. Ile thus became ac-
quainted with her position in the chapel, which was near
the south door, and he then took a seat just inside
the door, where he remained till the close of the
service. In due time Mrs. Jerningham came out of church,
being followed ILS she supposed by her children; but on
looking for her little boy he was no where to be found.
She then went home thinking that he might have preceded
her, hut he hod not come home, and as nothing could be
heard of him it was feared, and but too truly feared, that
tho poor little fellow had been seized and carried off. How
it could have been done, as the child was very much afraid
of his father, it is difficult to conceive, for although Mr. Jer-
ningham had not been seen here for some years, there were
many at the chapel who must have known him."
