COURT AND ,OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE,

We learn from the Glasgow Heratd the following
par tieulars of 'her Majesty s. route from •Edinburgh via
'Callender and the Trossachs to Loch Katrine on the 14th.
instant :--On entering' the lands of Lord and Lady
Willoughby D'Eresby, she will be received by his lord-
ship, and. conducted by him: through the Trossachs to
the loch. The water commissioners' party, including
of course all the members of the council,- with their
ladies, in -addition. to the ladies and._ gentlemen, who
will be-specially invited, numbering in all 250, or a
little beyond: it, will set out from Glasgow at seven
a.m. by special: train' for .Balloch, at the foot of Loch
Lomond. Here they' will embark on board a special
steamer, 'and aftertaking up the Duke and Duchess of
Montrose, at Balmaha, they will sail up to Inversnaid,
where theytwiltdisembark. At this point as many con-
veyaaces as possible will .'be musteredto carry the ladies, =
the aged, and possibly the lazy, over the hills to'
Stronathlacher, at the head of Loch Katrine ; but, of
course, it will be expected that the young and active
'should link along on foot. From' -Stronachlacher the
members of 'the party will find their way to the Blair-
hulachan Tunnel (e: distance of about two Miles), at
which point the waters are to be let ~ on, , either
by boat .or by walking along- the foot-road down the
side of the loch. On the hillside immediately above
the platform over, the tunnel, a gallery will be erected,
'from which the company will be able to witness all
that takes pla,Ce At this platform, which rises
right from the margin of the loch, her Majesty will land
from; the. Rob Roy steamer, descend to the mouth of the
tuntieb, if she, feels disposed, and then-perform the opera-
tion (which, we believe, will be a very easy one), by
which the waters will flow through the hillside, and
'thence career onwards to Glasgow. Tier Majesty and
suite will then take. refreshments in the commissioners'
'cottage, 'and afterwards return by Trossachs and
Callander route. . .
