THE COURT AT BALMORAL.

During the past week her Majesty has been en'
gaged in taking her accustomed drives in the nogli-
bourhood of the palace and throughout the district.
In honour of her birthday her Majesty caused On
customary presents to be distributed to the po°r

bounty is not confined to the deserving poor on the
estates of Balmoral, Abergeldie, and Birkhall, but
is given to others both on the north and south sides
of the Dee. On Saturday evening her Majestt an
Prince Leopold, attended by the Duchess of Athole.
and suite, drove from Balmoral on the south side of
the river Dee, through Braemar, and via Linn
Corriemulzie, and New and Old Mar Lodges, tn
visit the Linn of Quoich. Here a staff of gillies•
with ponies, were in waiting from the palace for the
royal party, who made a short tour from the falls
along the winding anq beautifully secluded Glee 431
Quoich. The evening was fine, warm, and delight'
ful, and the royal visitors seemed to enjoy the fine
mountain trip very much. They returned to.the
Highland palace via Invereauld House and Deeslde:
road. Her Majesty appeared to be in excellent
health and spirits.

At a special meeting of the Jedburgh Town Co'
cil, on Monday night, Councillor Boyd asked if it
was the intention of the magistrates to take all
action in the event of the Queen visiting the IP;
ders. The Provost, in reply, stated that he 13
been informed through a very good source that
all likelihood her Majesty would visit Jedburgh
and, should that be the case, every effort would, be
made to give her Majesty a propor reeePt'°-nd.
Councillor Hilsou suggested that the provost all
magistrates should form themselves into a 64.'14:
mittee, and put themselves in communication Vriv
the other public bodies, and to call a public meat"'
should they think proper. The suggestion W
agreed to.
