The Royal Family in the Highlands.

On Friday last her Majesty and party, from Bal-
moral, drove out on the north side of the river Dee,
via the mansion of Invercauld. At a short distance
beyond a divergence was made from the county road
to the north-west, through the dark, narrow, and
serrated profiles of the Slogan Glen, towards Ben-
a-bourd. Having proceeded for a few miles in this
direction;_the carriage was stopped, and the Queen
and party, assisted by ponies and guides from the
Castle, proceeded by the path to the wide level on
the crest of giant Ben-a-bourd. A delightful view
was obtained of the surrounding counties, as the day
was fine, and the atmosphere bracing and clear.
After a prolonged stay, the royal cortege descended
the mountain flank, returning home to Balmoral
late in the evening. On Saturday evening her Ma-
jesty drove through Braemar to the Falls of Corrie-
mulzie, &c., passing through the village on her re-
turn to the Castle at half-past six o'clock. A
Crathie correspondent writes :—On .Sunday the
Queen, their Royal Highnesses the Prince and
Princess of Wales, Princess Helena, and Prince
John of Glucksburg, attended Divine service in
the church of Crathie. There were also present
from Balmoral—The Marchioness of Ely, General
the Hon. C. Grey, the Hon. Mrs. and Miss Grey,
Colonel De Ros, &c. ; and from Abergeldie, Colonel
the Hon. Sir C. B. Phipps and Lady Phipps, Mr.
Albert Phipps, General, Mrs., and Miss Knollys,
&c. The Rev. Dr. Boyd, of St. Andrews, preached
a very able sermon from 2nd Corinthians, iii., 18.
The church was well filled, but not crowded. It is
reported on good authority that the Queen is to re-
main at Balmoral till the 23rd November.

His Royal Highness Prince Alfred passed through
Edinburgh on Monday forenoon on his way to Bal-
moral, where he will stay a few days, while the

TIIE ELOPEMENT IN STAFFORDSHIRE.--At Wed-
nesbury, yesterday, the magistrates investigated the

charge which had been preferred against David Rose and
Henry Rose, ironmasters, of having locked up and ill-
treated David Rose, son of the elder defendant, because
he hail eloped with one of his father's servants, named
Annie York, to whom he had got married before his

relations could prevent the ceremony, as they wished to
do. The proceeding had been instituted by the newly-

made wife, who alleged that her husband was kept from

. _
her by force. Sarah Langford, the young woman who
gave evidence on the first hearing of the case, repeated

her testimony, which it will be remembered was in favour
of the charge. The bridegroom, David Rose, was then put
into the box. The court was very crowded, and intense in-
terest was manifested_to see the rgay and self-willed bride-

groom. He appeared anything but a spirited or dashing

lover—more like a sneaking schoolboy. Ile stated that after

ho was taken home by his brother he willingly undertook
to go to South America, but, on receiving notice that he was
to sail on the next day, ho refused, because the notice was
so short. His father then boxed his ears, and he threw
himself on the floor, and, drawing a what-not upon him,

injured his arm and eye. He then went upstairs to his
brother's room, went to bed, and remained in the room
until Sunday afternoon. Being cross-examined, he said he
was sixteen years old on the Ist of December last, and
left school at Christmas to complete his education on the
Continent. Ho eloped with Annie York by arrangement
with her and the first witness. He went to York's house. •
Walked with her and her brother, who carried their
clothes in a carpet-bag to Birmingham. Thence they went
by train to Warwick. There the brother of the bride ap-
plied to several clergymen to marry them, but vainly
They were finally married at the office of the Registrar at
Kenilworth. He was under the influence of beer all this
time, but was sober. He had but one shilling when he
left home, and the brother of the bride paid the expenses
of the wedding tour. After the ceremony the bridegroom
said be put up at the Bear-Inn, Kenilworth, where hiS
brother henry found him. He willingly returned home
with him. His father gave him a choke as to the future,
and he elected to go abroad. To this intent he went to
Birmingham, and made an arrangement with a commercial
gentleman there to go out to South America in his interests/
his father undertaking to pay £2,000 with him. On the
Tuesday after the alleged assault the gentleman came for
him, saying the vessel would start next day. He became
sulky and refused to go ; and after his father and brother
had boxed his oars he went up to bed, and asked his
brother William to lock him in his bed-room. He did so,
and remained a willing prisoner until Sunday. Then
he willingly went on a tour in Wales, and knew nothing
of these proceedings until his return on Saturday. Ile
acknowledged, however, that while confined in his room he
pushed a letter under the door for his wife to the last wit-
ness. The Bench dismissed the case without waiting for
the defence. The crowd hissed the bridegroom, but syra-
pathised with the bride, as thoy separately left the court.
ACCIDENTAL EXPLOSION OF A SHELL.—On Mon'
