THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES AT ABER"
GELDlE.—Picnicking:seeme 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 lunge
of his more elderly keepers to follow him on the hills in
pursuit of gainc. On Saturday week the Prince was out
shooting at Invergeldie, 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. an
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 heather. Monday being a day of rain,
the Royal party stayed mostly inside. On Tuesday the
Prince was again among the hills, and brought down
fine titer, 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
lunched, returning late in the afternoon. In the evening
a ball was given to the servants and gillies 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 hover 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.
Bruce.—Aberdeen Herald.

TELEGRAPH TO INDIA COMPANY (LIMITED.)--
The report of the directors, to be submit ted 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 dividend
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 Axiah
line referred to in the last report, and a new company lute
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.

NOTRE DAME DE PARIS !—Carvers are restoring
hands, heads, noses, ears, fingers, toes, eze., to the statues
on the Port du Zodiaque of that Cathedral. _

PERSPECTIVE MACHINE.— The invention of
Christopher Wren, a mechanist of great genius,
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 en a
glass plane it would trace out the picture ; but no plane is
interposed—the picture plane, w ith 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 have
met with for continuous tracing of outline.
THE REGISTRATIONS.—The Metropolitan Regis-
trations have been appointed. Mr. Beall, the
barrister, will commence the revision of the lists for the
county of Middlesex on Friday next at Uxbridge, and
conclude at Kensington on the Bth of October. Mr. Han-
son will revise the lists of the city of Louden on the 23d
inst. The other metropolitan districts have been fixed.
By the Registration of Voters Act the revision must be
completed between the 15th of September and the Xist of
October. The forthcoming revision, it is expected, will be
contested in almost every place, as an opinion prevails that
a general election will take place before the next revision.
The fee to each revising barrister is 200 guineas.
The policeman Charles, who is charged with the
wilful murder of his wife, was further remanded at
Bury yesterday. On the 14th of February last, the body
of a woman was found in the canal at Pendlebury. It was
not identified at the time; Ibut a sister of Mrs. Charles, on
being recently shown some clothes taken from the body, at
once declared them to have belonged to the prisoner's wife,
who has been missing since the 13th of February. An
order for the exhumation of the body foind at Pendlebury
has been issued by Sir George Grey.

death on Friday evening. The officers of the fleet bad bet xi

tenant Gardiner, in spite of the remonstrances of his com-
panions, got upon the top of the carriage to smoke. This
dangerous freak cost him his life. He fell upon the line,
and hie head was crushed into a
" a shapeless mass."
