HER MAJESTY AT BLAIR ATHOL.
BLAIR ATHOL, WEDNESDAY.
The Queen and her Illustrious Consort, accom-
panied by the ladies of her suite, Lord Glenlyon,
Lord Charles Wellesley, &c., went ye,terday down
Glen Tilt to the Forest Lodge, his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert driving he pony phaeton.
There being no post from London yester-
day, the Queen set out at the unusually
early hour of two o'clock, and the royal
party reached the lodge at half-pa3t three,
where the Queen and her suite partook of luncheon,
which had been sent on in the morning by Lord
Glenlyon. The foresters had been sent out at an
early hour to drive in the deer, but the wind being
unfavourable they were extremely shy, and after
some hours spent in endeavouring to come within
shot, during which her Majesty rode with Prince
Albert some distance on her Highland pony, the
sportsmen were obliged to return to the lodge, the
entire sport of the day being a hind shot by Lord
Glenlyon. The Queen returned to Blair Castle at
seven o'clock.

The firing of cannon was distinctly heard yester-
day on the hills to the north of Blair Athol, which
was said to he a Royal salute in honour of the arrival
of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge at
B'ack Mount, a splendid shooting lodge belonging to
the Marquis of Breadalbane, situate near Glencoe, the
site of the celebrated and infamous massacre of that
name. His Royal Highness is expected to be present
at the golf match to be held at the North Inch of
Perth, on Saturday next.
The Earl of Aberdeen left the Castle this morning
for Laggan, the seat of the Marquis of Abercorn, to
whom the Noble Earl is about to pay a short visit.
He will return to Blair Castle to-morrow night.
It is said that one of the huntsmen in charge of the
otter hounds has been dispatched to Haddo House to
procure some otters, there being none in the neigh-
bourhood of Blair, and the Prince having expressed a
wish to witness the exciting sport of an otter hunt
before leaving the Highlands.
It is now stated that the Queen will leave Blair
Castle on Tuesday next, at half past eight or nine
o'clock, so as to arrive at Dundee between two and
three in the afternoon, which will be within two
hours of high water. Preparations were being made
for a luncheon on a right royal scale for the Queen
and her suite at Dundee, but her Majesty will not
alight, but go at once on board the Royal yacht,
which will proceed immediately down the Frith of
Tay with the other steamers of the Royal squadron.
The Queen took her usual walk this morning in
the grounds of the castle, accompanied by Prince
Albert, and the Princess Royal on her Highland
pony. Her Majesty, it is said, spends at least ten
hours every day in the open air, and the pure and
bracing air of the Highlands has had the most bene-
ficial effect upon her health.
A. large supply of silk, woollen, and velvet tar-
tans, of the finest texture and most novel patterns
has been sent up within the last two days from,
Messrs. Romain 3 and Patterson's and Mr. James
Smith's establishments at Edinburgh, for her Ma-
jesty's inspection. Mrs. Smith is herself the
bearer of a very beautiful and costly velvet tartan
dress, as a present to her Royal Highness the young
Princess, which she will to-day crave permission to
submit for her Majesty's approval.
Another excursion to Glen Tilt is projected for this
afternoon, but as the wind is unfavourable it is pro-
bable the royal party may take some other route.

FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 24.—The King and Queen, with the
royal children and suite, arrived yesterday, at Lacken,
from Ostend.
Yesterday was the first day of the anniversary of the
Revolution. The weather was most unfavourable to the
celebration of the national fetes. To-day the weather
has been tolerably fine, and the horse-races have gone
off very well. There was a great assemblage of spec-
tators, but by no means so many carriages as at the races
in July, and very few ladies in the reserved seats on
the stand. Every arrangement was made in the royal
box for the arrival of their Majesties, but no member of
the royal family was present. The ceremony of laying
the two stones of the sluice at Nieuport, which are to
receive the inscription, appears to have been very
brilliant.

TRIESTE, SEPT. 16.—Yesterday evening when his
Rajesty the Emperor heft the theatre, which was splen-
didly decorated, and where he was received with the
greatest enthusiasm, thousands of people followed the
carriage through the illuminated street to the Palace,
before which, we may say, without exaggeration, half
the population of Trieste was collected. On a sudden
the whole scene was illuminated with Bengal lights and
coloured fire-balls ; the people singing in chorus the
national hymn, and at the end gave vent to their feelings
in a stormy, long-continued, and repeated Evviva, when
their Majesties appeared at the windows and saluted the
people. This morning, at nine o'clock, their Majesties
left the city amidst the salutes of artillery, ringing of
bells, and the acclamations of the people, crowds
of whom lined the streets through which their Ma-
jesties passed, the grateful recollection of whose
visit will not be easily effaced. At the first
stage, Santa Croee, their Majesties were received by the
magistrates of Trieste and a great number of citizens,
who had hastened before them, in order once more to
express their gratitude and respect. The Empress was
pleased particularly to testify to the Directors of the
Austrian Lloyd, her satisfaction with that fine institu-
tion. We have some hopes that their Majesties will
again visit us.

VIENNA, SEPT. 16.—The Court Gazette of the day
before yesterday at last publishes the notice that Mar-
quis Potnlucci, Admiral in Chief, Commander of the
Navy, at the head of which he had been for many years,
has retired on a pension. It is affirmed in the higher
circles that be is extremely affected concern-
ing the affair of the two Bandeiras, he having
placed too much confidence in one of these un-
nappy fanatics. This Bandeira was one of his
aid-de-camps, and enjoyed his confidence in such a
degree that he opened all letters re►ating to the service
All at once the Marquis received an intimation from
Vienna that Bandeira was implicated in dangerous poli-
tical intrigues, and that he would do well to have
him closely watched. A second order came from
Vienna directing him to have Bandeira arrested. Ban-
deira of course suppressed both letters and took his mea-
sures accordingly. He proceeded with his brother to
Trieste, there obtained by a stratagem the passport of a
merchant, who has been called to account for it, and
rent in a merchantman to Corfu. Such is the statement
given in certain circles, which we give without warrant-
ing its correctness. The father of the two Bandeiras is
said to have considered similar hints which he received to
be mere chimeras. He felt so much confidence in his
sons, as the Marquis did in his aide-de-camp, that he
could not believe so insane an enterprise. It is probable
that Bandeira being warned by Mazzini in London, sup-
pressed the letters from Vienna to the Marquis.
BERLIN, SEPT. 19.—We hear from Halle that prepa-
rations are making there to receive, not only our King,
' but the Kings of Saxony and Hanover, Prince Charles
of Bavaria, Prince John of Saxony and family, the Here-
ditary Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar, the Duke of
Sleswig-Holsten-Sondesburg, several Austrian and Eng-
lish Generals, two Hanoverian and one Brunswick
General arrived before our King at Halle and the
neighbouring town. several Russian officers of the
General Staff are also come to attend the reviews which
have been much hindered by the rainy weather, with
thunder and lightning, which set in the day before yes-
terday, and still continues.
We hear from Camenz that Princess Albert is again
going to Italy, where she intends to make a long stay in
the beautiful villa Sommariver, near Trevisa, which she
purchased last year.
STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 17.—1 t is understood that the
coronation of their Majesties will take place on the 28th
of this month.—Hamburgh papers, Sept. 24.

A FATAL INDULGENCE.—A few days ago, at
Perth, a young boy who was sent home from the market
by his grandmother, with a bottle containing whisky,
made free with it o❑ his way, and got so into:,:icated that
he had to be carried to his mother's house in a state cf
insensibility. lie was put to bed, and appeared to sleep
soundly till next morning, when, on endeavouring to
awaken him, he was found to be speechless from lock-
jaw. lie expired in the course of the day.
