HER MAJESTY AT BLAIR ATHOL.

'LAIR ATHOL, MONDAY.
The disappointment yesterday throughout the village
of Blair Athol was unbounded. It was impossible to
shake the i nplicit belief which had firmly fixed itself in
the minds f the people that they would see their Sove-
reign once more amongst them at the village kirk. All
the villagers in the neighbourhood, and even the people
about ,the Castle, were under the impression that her
Majesty would go to the church; but we were yesterday
enabled to inform our readers that the Queen would not
again expose herself to the annoyance which she was
compelled to submit to during Divine service on the pre-
ceding Sunday, and the result has proved the authen-
ticity of our information. The church was again in-
vaded at an early hour, but the object of a portion of the
congregation or rather audience, in attending Divine
service, was most palbably obvious, for, whelk the car-
riage drove up to the church, with Lady Glenlyon, Mrs.
Drummond, and the Hon. Miss Murray, several persons
left the church. Some, however, who came to stare, re-
mained to pray, and the newly-married minister, Mr.
Irvine, delivered an excellent sermon. His bride was
also present, and came in for a large share of the staring
which had been intended for her Majesty. .

Lord Glenlyon's pew was also occupied by Lord
Aberdeen. Lord Charles Wellesley, Lord Liverpool,
Sir James Clark, Lady Canning, and Lady Caroline
Cocks, remained at the Castle in attendance upon her
Maj esty.
The Queen did not leave the precincts of the Castle
daring the whole afternoon.
The Princess Royal did not accompany her Majesty
in her promenade. The service of the Church was read
before her Majesty in her private apartments.
Great preparations are going ou for the departure of
the Court, which will take place at nine o'clock to-
morrow morning. Several baggage waggons, "guarded
by Athol Highlanders, with bright claymores and tar-
gets, left Blair Athol this morning for Dundee. The
third division of the Highland guard, consisting of
twenty-four Highlander; preceded by their piper, have
marched this morning for Dunkeld, under the command
of Mr. Oswald, of Dunnikier, and Mr. Small Kier, of
Kindroggan ; they were also accompanied by Captain
the Hon. James Murray, on horseback.
Her Majesty will stop at Dunkeld, and go over the
beautiful grounds around the unfinished mansion, which
was commenced by the Duke of Athol. Those grounds
are of immense extent, and of unrivalled beauty, and
form one of the principal objects of attraction in the
neighbourhood of the picturesque town of Dunkeld.
The Highlanders who have marched to that town this
morning, will form a guard of honour for her Majesty
during her brief stay there, which, it is expected, will
not exceed an hour. The detachments of Scots Greys
have already arrived at their respective quarters along
the road to Dundee.
Prince Albert left the Castle shortly after breakfast
this morning, with Lord Glenlyon, for deer-stalking in
the glen near to the Castle. His Royal Highness has
become a complete venator—but unlike the venator of
Horace, who was tenerce conjugis imnzemor, his Royal
Highness invariably returns at an early hour in the af-
ternoon to drive her Majesty along the high road ; ex-
cepting on those occasions when he has been accompanied
by her Majesty during these sporting expeditions. The
Prince will return to the Castle at two o'clock, at which
hour the royal carriages are ordered to be in readiness.
Her Majesty continues in the enjoyment of excellent
health.—Post.
