THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES AT ABER'

GELDlE.—Picnicking seems to have been the ruling
amusement of the Prince and Princess during the past
week. The weather, though unsettled and showery, has not
prevented them enjoying the usual amount of outdoor re-
creation. The Prince, nothing daunted by the passing
showers, persistently pursues his new favourite pastime,
deer-stalking, and not unfrequently has he tried the lungs
of his more elderly keepers to follow him on the hills in
pursuit of game. On Saturday week the Prince was out
shooting at Inv ergeldie, and succeeded in taking down three
noble stags, which he exhibited to the Princess that even-
ing by torchlight on the lawn in front of the castle. On
Sunday they both attended Divine service, when Dr. Fow-
ler, of Ratho, near Edinburgh, then on a visit to Crathie,
preached an eloquent sermon. In the afternoon the Prince
and Princess drove to the wood east from Corbieha', and
took tea among the heathy. Monday being a day of rain,
the Royal party stayed mo:Itly inside. On Tuesday the
Prince was again among the hills, and brought down a
fine deer, which was afterwards shown at the castle. The
Prince and attendants drove to the Garrawalt and took
luncheon. On Wednesday the Prince, Princess, and suite
drove to Garmundie, a hilt on west side of Balmoral, and
lumthed, returning late in the afternoon. In the evening
a ball was given to the servants and gill:es of the Prince at
the Castle. In connexion with the jottings, it may not be
uninteresting to notice that,though the Prince and Princess,
more especially the latter, almost daily hov'r round Bal-
moral Castle for a while, they have never yet been inside
—the notion in the locality being that the Queen, " the lady
of the manor," wishes them not to enter until she is there
herself to receive them. The Hon. Mrs. Coke has left Aber_
geldie as lady-in-waiting, being succeeded by the Hon,Mrs.
B ruce.—.4 berdeen Herald.

TELEGRAPH TO INDIA COMPANY (LIMITED,)--
The report of the directors, to be submitted to the
proprietors at an extraordinary general meeting of the
company on the 18th of September, 1863, stAtes that the
directors having received the first half-yearly payment of
£1,250 from Messrs. Glass, Elliott, and Co.. under the
arrangement for working the Alexandria and Suez line,
which was approved by the shareholders in February last,
have summoned a special general meeting for the purpose,
of declaring a dividend. They recommend that a Oividend
at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, be
paid to the shareholders for the half-year ending the 30th.
June, which will absorb £1,135 out of the amount received
from Messrs. Glass, Elliott, and Co., leaving a balance of
£ll5. They state that there is no reason to fear a recur-
rence of the failure which interrupted the traffic on the
Malta and Alexandria line for a few weeks. They have re,
ceived the concession for the construction of the El Arish
line referred to in the last report, and a new company has
been registered under the title of the Syrian Telegraph
Company, by which it can be carried out whenever it is
considered advisable to do so.

PERSPECTIVE MACHINE.— The invention of
Christopher Wren, a mechanist of great geniusr
better known to the world at large by what he did than by
how he did it, is thus described in the .Phil. Trans. for.
1669 (No. 45). The eye looks through a pinhole at the
point of sight, and the hand carries the end of a
pointer
over the outline to be traced. If this pointer moved on a
glass plane it would trace out the picture ; but no Oar .
interposed—the picture plane, with drawing-paper on it, is
at the side, and the motion of the pointer, by a simple
parallel motion contrivance, is communicated to a pen or
pencil. This is the only machine which I happen to hav©
met with for continuous tracing of outline.
THE REGISTEATIONS.—The Metropolitan Regis-
trations have been appointed. Mr. Beall, the

son will revise the lists of tho city of Londen on the 23d
