VISIT OF THE QUEEN TO INVER-

literally covered with flowers, and greet ,of every
description, culled from the treasures ol :he " leafy
month ;" in addition flags are streaming from every
available point of projection.
A Congregation was called at the Senate-house, at
eleven o'clock yesterday morning, for the incepting
of such graduates as intend to proceed to the degree
of M.A. on Tuesday. Of these there are about one
hundred and fifty, and contrary to expectation 49nly
one B.A. was created.

The fittings of the interior of the building and the
general arrangements for the accommodatidn of the
multitude who will seek admission at this grand point
of attraction are complete as far as the capacity of
the Senate-house itself is absolutely concerned. It is
capable of holding from 1,500 to 2,000 persons at the
utmost; and tickets are issued to the amount of nearly
4,000. This, however, is not the registrar's business.
He grants the tickets to those (the M.A's.) who have
a right to ask for themselves and their fair friends,
and the accommodation must rest with the Senate-
house sindicate. The result is plain, and, according
to the old saying, " first come will be first served,"
there will be a mortal crush on Tuesday morning.
There are a couple of troops of the 2d Life Guards
down here, together with the band of the Scots
Fusilier's. Head-quarters, the Bull. Officers or the
Guards Colonel M'Dougall, Captains Vyse and
Blane, Lieutenants Wingfield, Tollemache, Longford,
and King. The following is a copy of the Laureate
Wordsworth's
INSTALLATION ODE.
INTRODUCTION AND CHORUS.
For thirst of power, that Heaven disowns—
For temples, towers, and thrones—
Too long insulted by the spoiler's shook,
Indignant Europe cast
Her stormy foe at last,
To reap the whirlwind on a Libyan rook. -

War is passionS'OslbOa—seTstENg°amit.e,-
Madly played to win a name.
Up starts some tyrant, earth and heaven to dare;
The servile million bow;
But will the lightning glance aside to spare
The despot's laurelled brow?
CHORUS.
War is mercy, glory fame, -
Waged in Freedom's holy cause—
Freedom such as man may claim
Under God's restraining laws.
Such is Albion's fame and glory,
Let rescued Europe tell the story.
RECIT. (ACCOMPANIED)-CONTRALTO.
But, lo! what sudden cloud has darkened all
The land as with a funeral pall?
Tho Rose of England suffers blight;
The flower has drooped the isle's delight,
Flower and bud together fall,
A nation's hopes lie crushed in Claremont's desolate ball.

A/R- SOPRANO.
Time a chequered mantle wears,
Earth awakes from wintry sleep;
Again the tree a blossom bears—
Cease, Britannia, cease to weep!
Hark to the peals on this bright May morn,
They tell that your future queen is born!
SOPRANO, SOLO, AND CHORUS.
A guardian angel fluttered
Above the babe unseen,
One word he softly uttered,
It named the future Queen :
And a joyous cry through the island rang,
As clear and bold as the trumpet's clang,
As bland as the reed of peace—
" Victoria be her name !"
For righteous triumphs are the base
Whereon Britannia rests her peaceful fame.

QUARTETT.
Time, in his mantle's sunniest fold,
Uplifted on his arms the child;
And while the tearless infant smiled,
Her happier destiny foretold:—
" Infancy, by wisdom mild,
Trained to health and artless beauty,
Youth by pleasure unbeguiled
From the lore of lofty duty;
Womanhood in pure renown,
Seated on her lineal throne;
Leaves of myrtle in her crown,
Fresh with lustre all their own.
Love the treasure worth possessing
More than all the world beside,
This shall be her choicest blessing,
Oft to Royal hearts denied."
RECIT. (ACCOMPANIED)-BASS.
That eve, the star of Brunswick shone
With steadfast ray benign
On Gotha's ducal roof and on
The softly flowing Leine;
Nor failed to gild the spires of Bonn,
And glittered on the Rhine.
Old Camus, too, on that prophetic night
Was conscious of the ray;
And his willows whispered in its light,
Not to the Zephyr's sway,
But with a Delphic life, in sight
Of this auspicious day.
CHORUS.

NESS AND SUTHERLAND.
, -(From the Inverness Courier.)
We have received the following information from a
source on which we place the utmost reliance :—" [he
Queen has taken Laggan from the Marquis of Abercorn
for the shooting season. The Court will remain there
from the beginning of August to the beginning of
September. Her Majesty, it is understood, will visit
Inverness on her way to Dunrobin, the second week
in September, coming down the Caledonian Canal
from Fort William." Nothing, we trust, will occur to
interfere with these arrangements. The royal visit
will afford unbounded gratification to all the Queen's
loyal subjects in the Highlands, and the proposed route
will enable her Majesty to see some of the finest scenery
is the Highlands. We may anticipate for the royal
party a magnificent " gathering of the clans." Since
the days of the fiery cross, no such rallying cry has
been heard as the name of the Queen, and from Ben
Nevis to Ben More, in Assynt, the whole population
will be poured forth to cheer every step of the royal pro-
gress. It is now two hundred and eighty-five years since
Mary Queen of Scots visited Inverness, and no other
British Sovereign has since penetrated into our northern
region. Mary found the gates of Inverness Castle shut
against her entrance ; for the Earl of Huntly had then
organised a powerful confederacy in opposition to the
Crown. Queen Victoria has fallen on calmer and hap-
pier days. All gates will be thrown open on her approach,
and from hall and cottage—from Dunrobin Castle down
to the meanest hut on the mountain side—there will be
heard only one voice of generous loyalty and affection.
The shooting lodge of the Marquis of Abercorn
stands on the margin of Loch Laggan, at Ard-
vreckie, on the property of Cluny Macpherson.
" The scale on which this lodge is erected," says
the author of the Statistical Account, " may be
inferred from the fact that it is taxed for sixty
windows." The interior accommodation is of the
most splendid description, and Mr. Edwin Land-
seer, in one of his visits to the north, graced the
walls of some of the rooms with the fruits of his
inimitable genius. The situation of the lodge;
and the whole of the neighbourhood, is picturesque and
romantic in the highest degree. Prince Albert will also
have ample scope for his favourite field sports. In ad-
dition to Laggan, the Marquis of Abercorn possesses the
adjoining ground of Glensheiro, the property of Evan
Baillie, Esq., on which there is also a handsome lodge.
The extent of his Lordship's Highland shootings may be
gathered from the fact, that his rental is very nearly
2,0001. per annum—the deer-forest alone being let for
1,3621.

This day, when Granta hails her chosen lord,
And proud of her award,
Confiding in that star serene,
Welcomes the Consort of v. happy Quota.
- AIR—CONTRALTO.
_ _

Prince, in these collegiate bowers,
Where science, leagued with holier truth,
Guards- the sacred heart of yottth,
Solemn monitors are ours.
These reverend aisles, these hallowed towers,
Raised by many a hand august,
Are haunted by majestic powers,
The memories of the wise and just,
Who, faithful to a pious trust,
Here in the founder's spirit sought
To mould and stamp the ore of thought
In that bold form and impress high
That best betokens patriot loyalty.
Not in vain those sages taught—
True disciples, good as great,
Have pondered here their country's weal,
Weighed the future by the past,
Learnt how social frames may last,
And how a land may rule its fate
By constancy inviolate—
Though worlds to their foundations reel,
The sport of factious hate or godless zeal.
AIR-BASS.
Albert, in thy race we cherish
A nation's strength that will not perish.
While England's sceptered line
True to the King of kings is found ;
Like that Wise* ancestor of thine
Who threw the Saxon shield o'er Luther's life,
When first above the yells of bigot strife
The trumpet of the Living Word
Assumed a voice of deep portentous sound,
From gladdened Elbe to startled Tiber heard.
CHORUS.
What shield more sublime
E'er was blazoned or sung?
And the Prince whom we greet
From its hero is sprung.
Resound, resound, the strain
That hails him for our own !
Again, again, and yet again;
For the Church, the State, the Throne!
And that presence fair and bright,
Ever blest wherever seen,
Who deigns to grace our festal rite,
The pride of the islands—Victoria the Queen!
* Frederic the Wise, Elector of Saxony.

building can be traced to no other cause than the one we

afford a more satisfactory reason for so destructive a
