THE QUEEN IN THE HLU.ULANDS.

On Wednesday afternoon Prince Arthur went I
to Loch Mulch and had a most auctorial day's sport,
having caught a large number of trout. On Thursday,
Prince Christian and others went out deer 'talking around
Lochnagar, and got fair sport. The da was one of the
finest that has been this season. 1 Christian,
accompanied by Princess Beatrice, went out and met
Prince Christian and party returning from the forest,
and all reached Balmoral late in the evening.
The servants of the Castle, down to the stable-
:am, having got permission, went oat to the pie.
tempted by the tine weather and Balmoral
was deserted by all save • few domestics. During her
Majesty's journey across the hills to Donade on Tuesday,
the luggage carriage proved to be too heavily laden for the
gale of wind, and broke down on the way. Another car-
riage and horses were speedily ordered from Balltez, but,
of mune, arrived too late for her Majesty's me that night.
The Elyin Courier gives the following accouat of her
Majesty's visit to his Grace the Duke of Richmond :
The inhabitants of the upper district of Banffshire
have this week been unexpectedly favoured with a visit
from our sovereign lady the Queen. As our. readers
an aware, her Majesty his been Terabit for the last
few weeks at her favourite reiddenee el World, and on
Tuesday la she paid a visit to the shooting-lodge of his
Grace die Duke of Richmond at Glenldea. As in the
year 1881, when her Majesty visited the capital of the
Grants, the visit to G'snbddicb was strictly private, and
many of the inhabitants on the route was not aware of the
royal presence having been amongst them until after the
carter royal The Ampliadrty left Balmoral on Tuesday morning
at eight o'clock. Leaving Balmoral on the south-west,
the royal the old high mad from Brim

wiles further on, 'the Don was crowed at • ern-
peratively short distance from its spume, whence the rind
winds over the considerable mountain range which
stretches from Ben-Msodhui to Cared). The neighbour-
hood of the Avon is reached at Tomhitcad, and from
theme the route changes from north-we sward to die
east, leading through Glenlivet and Miramar towards'
Dufftown. There were three carriages, the rivet contain-
ing her Majesty's piper and three of, the ("KO maids-in-
waiting. The second carriage was occupied by the Queen,
the Princess Liaise, Lady Churchill, mild Thomas
Biddulph. In the third carriage wasil:gOrtellf the
royal pertg ; and these three carriages, the
whole procession. The Queen's trust y servant,
John Brown, mur also in attendance. OW the route her
Majesty alternately rode and dross. • The royal cortege
did not pass through Tornintord, and the inhabitants only
knew of the Queen being in the' lorty when the first
carriage drove into the town for the Oirpiose of changing
horses.
The carriage containing the Queen rat the Primer
passed about a quarter of • mile east of Trimintoid, and
consequently the inhabitruita had net an qty of
showing their loyalty to their riovoragli- Artar Wang.
Tomintoul, the royal carriage halted, and Qmen and
others partook of luncheon, remaining meanwhile In the
carriage. After a delay of about half an boar the journey
was resumed.
It was the intention of theXoYal party, we believe, to
ride from Toinnavoulin right over the hiller Hicafiddish ;
but on reaching the former place they rant dissuaded
iron carrying out their intention by the head'rimekeeper
from Glenfiddich, who accompanied the reyal party, and
acted as guide along the route. Taking his savior they
proceeded to their destination via Weaker, Glen'rinnes,
end Dufftown.
• lathe district of Glenrinnes the iskaatints% like those
of Olealivett were quite unaware writ.ft imago* late to
manifest their loyalty that . her Majesty Queen Victoria
was passing through their glens.
In Dafftown' however, a rumour get Arad in the
morning to the effect that her Itajetty bad left Balmoral
that day for Glenfiddich, but it was q..e uncertain
whether she would pus tluough Dufftwern at all—indeed,
the reverie was considered probable 6 even in some
quarters the rumour was diegredited. drgether, hence
no great preparations were made by ,tbe inhabitant'.
The lint authoritative. aanounserent. ref the far

was Made" when the AIM carriage pinta- through;
at about half-past 4 o'clock, and stopped for • few
minutes on the square. It then became known that
the carrier, abstaining her Majesty Queen Victoria, the
Princess Louise, and suite would follow in about 20 mi-
nutes. The whole of the gthabitanta were consequently
on the alert, and the braiaMind tinned out in honour of
• the occasion. Half an houridapsed after the first carriage
had passed, and still there was no agramersof the Queen,

little put five, however, all doubts were set at rest
by the appearance above the market stance of the
Queen's carnage. The band bad taken up its shadie am
the square, and as soon as the carriage on spot
they struck up, " God save the Queen." A lusty cheer
also rose from the crowd which bad assembled, and to
thee marks of enthusiasm on the part of her subjects
her Majesty responded with her usual graciousness—
' lifting her veil and bowing, and waving her hand to
the enthusiastic! crowd. The Queen was dressed is deep
mourning. The carriage drove through the villas' at full
speed ; but the windows of the carriage which the Queen
and the Prircess Louise occupied were large, and thus a
very good passing glimpse was got by the inhabitants. The
royal carriage was drawn 'by two horses. After paring
Duff town the carriage went at a much slower pace.
Olenfiddich was reached in less than an hour after
leaving Duff town—vix., about six o'clock. The Duke
of Richmond was waiting to receive her Majesty. We
believe that the Duke, supposing that the original
intention of going over the hills would have been
carried out by the royal party, bad gone a long way on
I that route to meet them, and only returned to Glenfiddich
in time to receive the Queen. The last carriage, contain-
jog the luggage of the royal party, broke down • few miles
above Dufftown, and it was between three and four o'clock
in the wowing before this ferriage reached Glee ddich.
On Wedesday the royal party visited Auebindoun, and
picnicked at the Hill of Bigmain, opposite the old Castle
of Authincloun. Blackwater lodge was also visited by
the Queen and party, the Duke of Richmond a 'company-
Mg her Majesty in all her °amnions. On Thursday tee
Queen drove out in the neighbourbeod of the Lodge. Oa
Wednesday, Sir Thomas Bildulph visited Datitown,
sad called at several of the drapers shops in the village,
sad among others at that of Miss Gordon, where he pur-
chased a Rob Roy tartan plaid.
Oa Thursday, the Queen lunched at the Elf Cairn in
the deer forest of Glentiddich, the property of the Duke
of Richmond.
Our Elgin correspondent writes that her Majesty took
her departure from Glenfiddich about ten o'clock, passing
Duiftown, where there were great demonstration of
loyalty. About eleven o'clock she proceeded back to Bal-
moral in the same way and by the same route as she came
north, but much more publicly. Large numbers of people
assembled here and there on the roadside, all anxious to
set • sight of her Majesty. The Queen arrived safely at
last night.

THE RECTOR OP TURWESTON AND HIE TREATMENT
. or A Doo.—The Rev. Mr. Harley stated in hie letter to the
j Times that the Secretary to the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals offered to withdraw from the
prosecution on the morning of the day when the case was
heard by the magistrates, but to this he (Mr. Harley)
could not consent, his character having been, as he thought,
so unjustly assailed. This statement is flatly contradicted
by the secretaii, who writes: "At the door of the court
I was questioned whether, if the rector would tender an
apology, I would withdraw the charge. I said I could not
I comply with this application without permission of the
bench if even I felt disposed to do so ; but that I did not
feel disposed. If I could yield to feelings of eompaision
for the defendant on that day and withdraw proceedings,
it would be clear that a prosecution ought never to have
been commenced. I added,—' If Mr. Harley be sorry for
what he has done, and will plead gull' y, and publicly ex.
press his regret, and thus prove publicly the justice and
the success of our proceedings, we, who only want to pre-
vent the repetition of the pet, shall feel bound not unne-
cessarily to press for punishment or exposure, but we shall
consent to a nominal pesalty, if asked to do so, by the
bench; but withdrawing the charge is out of the question.' "
ALLEGED WIPE MURDER AT Boor•z.—Alexander
Brown, a boiler maker, living at Bootle, wasarrested on
Saturdi morning on the charge of baring murdered his
wife. It would appear that about 9 o'cock on Friday
night the prisoner went home and beard his wife and her
mother talking at the top of the stairs about • pen=
named Gilmour. His jealousy was aroused, as he suspected
that his wife was too intimate with • man of that name,
and he went upstairs and struck her a blow on !hear, when
she ran downstairs and fell in the corridor. She was Picked
upandtaken to a neighbour's house, where she died in about
twenty minutes afterwards. About tea minutes part 12
o'clock police-constable 386 was on duty in Stanley road,
when he saw the prisoner and another man standing at
the corner of • street, and overheard the prisoner say, "
have been at sea three years, and I and my wife have had a
falling out this evening, and I struck her on the head and
knocked her downstairs, and I think I've killed her." He
also said that there ware some papers at his house belong-
ing to him, and if be got them he would leave town alto-
gether, and not come back any more. He was at once ar-
rested and brought before the magistrates, and remanded
till Wednesday.

SUPPOSED PERLINOUTRAGS IN HOLBORN.

An affair, curious in its incident., but likely, it
is to be feared, to end fatally, has taken place in Holborn.
The actual facts, as distinct from the rumours given in the
daily journals, will be found in our Bow-street police re-
port in another column.
'The unfortunate man M'Donald, up to a late hour last
evening, was still alive ; but such has been his extreme
danger that Superintendent Burk, of the IL division of
police, has thought it necessary to proceed to Bow-street
to lay the facts before the presiding magistrate, in o der
that this dying deposition might be taken. Accordingly
Mr. Flower attended at the University Hospital on Satur-
day, where a narrative of the whole transaction was re-
peated by M'Donald, and committed to writing by the
magistrate's clerk. The detective police from Sootland-
yard, acting under the direction of Inspector Thomp-
son, are taking the most active steps in the matter. The
following is the deposition of WThinald take. by Mr.
Flowers. He spoke so faintly that it was with the grimiest
difficulty he could be heard. He rid:—My name is
Edwin M`Donold, and I am a musician in the band of the
2nd Life Guards. I live at 12, William-street, Regent's-
park. I entered a public-boas in Southampton-row about
one o'clock tide morning, and salted for something to

be readily understood that Groves was seen by the two
informers already referred to, and the police sergeant to
whom the application was made on the night they were
at the London Pavilion, and those persons have identified
him.
The informer also identifies Groves as the man who
threatened to shoot him some time ago, and also es
being en active agent in the Fenian organisation in Dublin,
1865. After being duly cautioned by Inspector Thonisoci,
the prisoner admitted he was near Vernon-place at one
o'clock on Saturday morning, and that he had been at the
Turk'. Head. His lodgings were subsequently searched,
and there was found a number of papers re-
lating to Fenienism—a form of the Fenian
oath in the prisoner's handwriting, • large quan-
tity of bullets and cartridges fitting Treater's
middleoised revolvers, and also • patent revolver loaded
and capped, and in the bore of which the bullet that was
shot through poor M'Donnell exactly fitted. The pistol
that was picked up by the Irishman previously referred to
also carried the bullets found in Groves' lodgings. The
prisoner was taken tart night to the University Hospital,
and Di'Dotinell, after carefully scrutinising him, said his
features were exactly like, but he hardly seemed so tall.
