HER MAJE

BLAIR ATtiOL, MONDAY, SEPT. 16.
The rain continued to fall without intermission

throughout the whole of yesterday, but the incle-
mency of the weather did not deter her Majesty
from attending Divine service at the village
church. A number of workmen had been engaged
until a late hour on Saturday night in fitting up
the chieftain's pew, which, on this occasion, was
destined for the use of her Majesty. Fresh cushions
I were placed on all the seats, and it was lined
throughout with red velvet, and every preparation

that the most careful attention could devise was
made, to render it fit for the reception of its illus-
trious occupant. With that punctuality for which
every member of the Royal Family has been so emi-
nently distinguished, her Majesty arrived at this
humble place of worship a few minutes before the
commencement of Divine service. Lord and LadY
Glenlyon, in their britschka, preceded the royal
party, and shortly after the arrival of his Lordship,
one of the royal close carriages, with a pair of horses
and a single outrider, was seen driving rapidly
down the avenue which leads from the prin-
cipal entrance to the castle. The guard of Athol
Highlanders, who were stationed at the gate which
has been recently erected presented arms as the royal
carriage drove along the road; and Lord Glenlyon,
accompanied by several of his noble relatives and
clansmen, including the Master of Strathallan, Sir
David Dundas, Kier of Kindroggan, Oswald of Dun-
nikier, Captain Drummond, &c., all of whom were
attired in the national costume, were drawn up out..
side the porch of the village church to receive her
Majesty. His Royal Highness Prince Albert,
Viscountess Canning, and Lady Caroline Cocks, were
also in the royal carriage.
On alighting her Majesty was conducted by her
noble host to his Lordship's pew, and shortly after the
arrival of her Majesty, another of the royal car-
riages drew up to the church, containing Lord Aber-
deen, Lord Liverpool, Lord Charles Wellesley, Mr•
G. E. Anson, and Sir James Clarke, all of whom
occupied places in the hack of the royal pew. Upon
these feudal principles also, which, even upon the pre-
sent occasion, were not departed from, places were
assigned in the back of the pew for Lord Glenlyon's
steward, and some few of the principle members of
his Lordship's household. The Highland Chieftain,
with Lady Glenlyon, sat beside Lady Canning in the
front seat with her Majesty.
Divine service then commenced according to the
Presbyterian form of worship. A psalm was first
sung, in excellent time and tune. The clergyman'
Mr. Irvine, then delivered an extempi bre prayer, aft er
which another psalm was sung, and the sermon fol-
lowed, Mr. Irvine taking his text from the thirteenth
verse of the fifth chapter of Matthew, " Ye are the
salt of the earth,"
Mr. Irvine's sermon was a plain, straightforward
discourse, devoid of all flourishes of rhetoric, IT
was delivered in a broad Scotch accent, but Mr,
vine's enunciation was so clear and distinct, that every'
word was perfectly intelligible to the English portion.
of the congregation. We were happy to find that
the clergyman had the good taste to abstain from these
pulpit panegyrics and personal allusions, which,
so
former occasions of a similar nature, have heen.h
distasteful to her Majesty. In the short prayer wale
followed the sermon, and which concluded the servin_,,'
the Queen and the Royal Family were mentioned, r:11:
a matter of course, but beyond this there vvas Pe of
lusion, either directly or indirectly, to the presence
the Sovereign amongst the congregation. ist-
After the service, according to a custom still
log in some parts of Scotland, wooden boxes
beattachere
to thin poles, and called " ladles" by the Scotch, we r
handed into all the pews, in order that every tneln ds
of the congregation might contribute his mite too°
the support of the parochial poor. Her Majesty aPoi
peared to look with great interest at this method
collecting alms, and Prince Albert was evideTe
anxious to contribute, but a plate being placed at ',
kirk door, at the entrance to the chieftain's Pe o o,f
enabled her Majesty, the Prince, and the mernbeorsf the
the suite, :to leave their donations on going out
church.
At the conclusion of the service her MajestY
conducted to her carriage by Lord Glenlyon' her
umbrella being held over her Majesty to protect I'
from the rain, which continued to pour in ceasek:.shs
torrents. Her Majesty was fortunately provided ;Ili

its noble maker, in his usual unassuming style,
merely states, that the metal, only just polished, was
Isf a pretty good figure, and that with a power of 500,
'e nebula known as No. 2 of Messier's catalogue
Ivac3 even more magnificent than the nebula N 0.13 of
'essier when seen with his Lordship's telescope of
three feet diameter, and 27 feet focus. Cloudy
weather prevented him turning the leviathan on any
tiler nebulous object.
Thus, then, we have, thank God, all danger of the
metal breaking before it could be polished overcome.
aLittle more, however, will be done to it or with it for
:411e weeks, inasmuch as the Noble Earl is on the
e of quitting Ireland for England, to resign at
York his post as President of the British Association,
tld. to visit his noble relatives at Kilnwick and at
rrighton. This done, he returns to Ireland; and I
at )01c forward with intense anxiety to witness its first
eevere trial, when all its various appointments shall be
,°repleted, in the confidence that those who may then
I": present will see with it what man has never seen
f°re. The diameter of the large metal is six feet,
andmanageable
its focus 54 feet. Yet the immense mass is
"lwanageable by one man. Compared with it, the
