HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO

SCOTLAND.

BLAIR ATHOLL, THURSDAY.

Her Majesty did not leave the Castle yesterday,
but retired at once to her ,apartments, and dined
in private with the Prince, as it was considered
advisable that her Majesty should enjoy some
repose after the very great fatigue which she has
recently undergone. Prince Albert, however, walked
about the grounds and explored some of the
precincts of the Castle. . His Royal Highness ex-
pressed himself much delighted with his new abode,
and gazed with admiration at, some of the most remark-
able features in the surrounding scenery, as they were
pointed out to him by his noble host. The Prince also
anticipates great pleasure from the deer-stalking,
which, it is expected, mill take place to-morrow
in the Duke of Athol's forest of Glen Tilt, adjoining
the noble forest of Brae Mar, which is now rented
by the Duke of Leeds. It is expected that her Ma-
jesty 41 accompany the Prince in his sporting expe-
dition, as there is an excellent carriage drive through
the grounds of Blair Athol], which penetrates for
12 miles through the Glen Tilt into the heart of the
forest.

As evening closed in, large bonfires were lighted
on the surrounding hills ; the rocky sides and
steep acclivities of Ben-y-vrackie glared with the
red flame, and the startled stags on the contiguous
haughs and braes were roused from their peace-
ful slumbers and raised their antlered heads to
gaze with mute astonishment at the fiery invader
of their wild domains. At eleven o'clock last
night the fire yet gleamed from these magnificent
volcanoes ; but this morning the huge hills awake
like giants, refreshed, having cooled their burning
brows in the morning air after their revelry
of the preceding evening. The mountainous sum-
mits of Ben-y-vrackie are now illuminated by the
morning sun, but the hoary head of the mountain is
at present concealed by the clouds, which will, how-
ever, have been swept away before her Majesty walks
forth to view her Scottish dominions.

According to present arrangementa, her Majesty
will remain here for three weeks, and may per-

haps prolong her sojourn for a month should the
fine weather continue ; but it is understood that
the duration of her Majesty's visit is contingent
upon communications from abroad. Lord Aberdeen
and Lord Liverpool will remain here for the pre-
sent. The Ladies in Waiting and Lord Charles Wel-
lesley will be in attendance on her Majesty. The
Prince is attended by Sir Edward. Bowater. The
attendants of the Princess Royal comprise the whole
of the inmates of Blair Athol'.

Should the Prince feel sufficiently recovered from
the effects of his recent journey, he will avail
himself of the fine weather, and leave Blair
Atholl shortly after breakfast, to have some
grouse shooting in the adjoining mountains. The
Scots Greys have been ordered back to their head
quarters, and the several detachments which formed
her Majesty's escort, will, in the course of the
morning, leave the quite homesteads where they
have been billetted for the last few days. As
her Majesty wishes to dispense with the tram-
mels of State during her visit, the services of the
Scots Greys will not be required, but Lord Glen-
lyon's stalwart band of Highlanders will form a guard
of honour for her Majesty during her present visit,
and the bright claymores are now gleaming in the
sun at every entrance to the Castle.—Post.

SPECIAL HOLIDAY TRAINS.
Within the last fortnight the following special
holiday trains have been conveyed along the Midland
Rail way, and others immediately connected with it :
A train of nearly 4,000 children, belonging to
Sunday schools of the Established Church, from
Sheffield to York and back. Scholars, Is. each;
teachers, 2s. each ; there and back.

A train of 4,000 children, belonging to the Lan-
casterian School, fum Sheffield to Hull and back.
Children, is. 6d. each ; teachers, 3s. each ; there and
back.

A train of the same number, belonging to the
Wesleyan Methodists, from Sheffield to York. Chil-
dren, Is. each; teachers, 2s. ; there and back.
A train of about s,soo—men, women, and children
.—from Sheffield to Hull and back. Grown people,
3i. 6d. each, there and back.
A train of about 2,500, and another of about 1,000,
from Sheffield and Rotherham to York.

-A train of 6,500, men, women, and children, from
Leeds to Hull ; the latter trains at proportionately
the same low fares.
By way of experiment, some months since the
Directors of the Chester and' Birkenhead directed
that double tickets should be issued, so that passen-
gers might go from Birkenhead to Chester by a train
at twenty minutes past ten o'clock each morning, and
return in the evening of the same day at half-past
eight o'clock ; the fare there and back being only one
shilling more than the usual fare one way.
Some weeks after the same plan was adopted from
Chester to Birkenhead and back, and at the same
fares. The results have far exceeded anything that
was expected.—Railway Chronicle,
