HER MAJESTY AT LOCH MUICK.
BALLATER, FRIDAY.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert,
accompanied by the Marchioness of Douro, crossed over
yesterday to the shooting•lodge on Loch Muick, where
It is propos( dto tarry for a short time. The party left
Balmoral a little before mid-day, and traversed the dia•
twice thence to the Loch, which is computed at seven
miles, though, as is proverbially the case in such mat-
ters, the estimate is found to be defective—mounted on
Highland ponies. _

As if there had been a lengthened preparation for this
visit, the little place has been made quite snug in antici-
pation of her Majesty's arrival. Everything about it
lies, under the tasteful superintendence of Dr. Robert-
ion, been put into a fine state of arrangement and repair.
Nothing likely to conduce to the comfort of the illustri-
ous visitors that could be obtained has been omitted ;
although the accommodation it affords is slight contrasted
with that they have been accustomed to occupy, and the
situation is sequestered to such a degree that some would
decribe it as dreary.
The juvenile members of the Royal Family remain
at Balmoral. The Prince of Wales has for some time
oeen an assiduous angler. If his success has not;beee
very great, bia patience and perseverance at least de-
served it.

The conjecture circulated that Brechin Castle would
be honoured with a royal visit rests on a slender basis.
Row it originated is easily explained. The shooting-
;rounds of Lord Panmure are contiguous to those pos-
sessed by his Royal Highness. They lie very close to
,he lodge which the royal party now inhabit. An invi-
tation was given to Prince Albert to go over them, which
cats been accepted, and he►,ce the removal from Balmoral.
line moors in the neighbourhood of Loch Muick are
richly stocked with game, and his Royal Highness may
anticipate capital sport.

THE WATERMEN'S AND LIGHTERMEN ASYLUM.
—Yesterday the President and Vice President of the
Almshouse Committee of this institution, made their an-
nual inspection of the establishment on Penge-common.
The result of their labours was very satisfactory, and
they expressed themselves highly gratified with the state
of the buildings, and the condition of the inmates.
AN " AMERICAN" EGG.—Mr. Horace Hands, of
Upper Middletown, brought to our office on Monday the
largest hen's egg that we have ever seen—measuring
fully nine inches by six and three-quarters! and weigh-
ing five ounces! We think this is the largest egg of the
kind that we have ever seen mentioned.—Middletown
(CC) Sentinel.
