SCOTCH MORALITY,--The Scotch papers are in
Tney are in the deepest of holy horror
) because the Queen did not attend church in public on
Sunday week, and yet went out driving in the afternoon.
What would the gloomy observers of the Sabbath have
said if they had been on the road to Richmond about three
o'clock last Sunday afternoon? Indignation meetings
would have been held from Bremer to " nuld Reekie.,
The Prince and Princess of 'Wales had resolved to dine
at the White-lodge, and to entertain a small party
at their impromptu banquet, for it had only been thought
of the night before, after the Volunteer review. There
was no provender nor Italian cook at the White Lodge, E 0
that everything had to be sent out on Sunday. About
half-past two o'clock a private omnibus set cut from Marl-
borough. house, crammed with cooks, kitchen-maids,
hampers, and canvas and carpet bags. The side windows
were all open ; and in the centre of the 'bus sat le chef de
cuisine, arrayed in full official costume—white jacket, red
cap, &c. In his mouth was a short pipe, from which ascended
whiffs of tobacco not the most fragrant, as pipes were being
put out in the closing public-houses, and as West-end Lon-
don was obeying the calls of church bells tolling from a
hundred steeples. Many a pious eye was raised in wonder
and despair; and gloomy forebodings of a return to the days
lof George IV. disturbed many a religious soul. The fact
is, German manners prevail at court ; and, though the
Prince and Princess never miss attending church on Sun.,
day, like the Queen herself, they enjoy them'elves in the
afternoon, and have no scruple about a drive in the parks
and a quiet dinner party in the evening. The private opinion
of the Scotch Church that they cannot be among the pre-
destined does not seem to affect cheir spirits. The recep.
tion given to the Princess in Cambridge has been enthusi-
astic beyond all precedent of receptions of royalty in that
seat of learning ; and the cheers for the King of Denmark,
with the torrent of counter-groans for Earl h tn;sell, and
not a little significant as to the feeling of the manhood and
intellect of the country in respect of the Danish question,
and the conduct of our Foreign Minister in respect thereto,
A STRANGE VESSEL IN BELFAST.—Yestkrday,
about eleven o'clock, a strange looking craft put into our
quays. She came from the Clyde on her trial trip, and made
the passage at the extraordinary speed of twenty miles en
hour. She is very rough-looking in exterior, having, ap-
parently, received only one coat of paint; still she is about
es smart-looking a vessel as ever entered the port. Her lines
are very gracefully drawn, and she is very low in the bows,
as if made to plough through the waves. She has three
funnels in front of the paddle•boxes, two masts with no
rigging between—in fact she has scarcely any rigging at
all. Although only 1,000 tons burthen, her engines are
1,400 horse power. After making all inquiries we could
about her future occupation, we believe we aro correct in
stating that she has been purchased by a Confederate firm
in London to run the blockade it possible, and that Alobile
is her destivatien. She has no name painted upon her, but '
will, we believe, be known in future as " No. 27," Sh
left for the Clyde hut night,—,Belfaa Wing.
