The rumour recently whispered about to the
effect that the Emperor Napoleon and the King of Italy
were to have an interview at the camp of Somma, towards
the middle of next month, is, we aro given to understand
totally devoid of foundation.
There is little probability of the Emperor being
present at Cherbourg for the naval review (postponed till
the Ist of September)—the proceedings at which review will
include experiments on a grand new cannon breech-loader
of great magnitude, the invention of his Majesty.

The Prince and Princess of Wales left Perth en
route for Abergeldie on Saturday forenoon, at 15
minutes past eleven o'clock. When the royal pair
had taken their places in the railway saloon car-
riage, Mr. Greig, of Glencarse, presented to the
Princess a bouquet of beautiful flowers, vehich her
Royal Highness graciously acknowledged. The
royal train left the station amid the enthusiastic
and prolonged cheering of those assembled on the
platform.
At the Perth and Coupar-Angus stations, scarcely
a person was to be seen. Indeed, it did not seem
that many knew it was the royal train which was
passing, for here and there at sidings, a little
distance from a station, might be seen servants who
never raised their heads when the carriages swept
past.
The royal train drove into the Ferryhill Jane"
lion, Aberdeen, at two o'clock sharp. As the train
steamed into the junction a loud and hearty cheer
was raised by the multitude, and immediately and
very courteously acknowledged by the Prince. The
cheering being repeated again and again, the Prince
took the Princess by the hand and led her for-
ward, when she also graciously acknowledged the
hearty reception given her. The Prince, who
seemed in excellent health and spirits, conversed
very affably with several persons in the station, but
the Princess, it was generally remarked, looked
pale, and as if somewhat wearied. The train re-
mained about ten minutes at the junction, when the
Deeside Company's engine having been attached, and
the directors taken their places, the train moved
out of the station amid loud cheering and the waving
of hats and handkerchiefs. Except two or three
minutes at Banchory, there was no further stoppage
until the train reached Aboyne, at about 3.l°'
There was also a considerable number admitted
within the station, and as soon as the Prince and
Princess stepped out of the saloon carriage a loud
cheer saluted them, which was repeated on their
appearing outside. An open travelling carriage
was wasting for them, and they immediately took
their seats in it. A detachment of the Marquis of
Huntly's Volunteers, under Captain Davidson, acted
as a guard of honour here. After a few minutes'
delay, the carriage containing the Prince and Prin-
cess drove off, loudly cheered.
The nest stoppage was at Ballater, where the
horses were changed. A triumphal arch had been
erected here, with the motto, " Welcome to High-
land Hearts and Homes." A number of the Far-
quharson clansmen also turned out to meet the
young Royal couple, who were received very
warmly. Abergeldie Castle—which has been re-
cently re-decorated and furnished anew for the
Prince and Princess—was reached at 5.30. The
Princess wore a Victoria tartan poplin dress, a short
lavender-coloured jacket, and white straw bonnet.
The weather, which was rough and somewhat
rainy in the early part of the day, cleared up bean-
