embezzling money to the amount of 1601., the property
of his master. The complainant had of late pur-
chased a number of dilapidated houses, which were

charges are to be preferred against, the prisoner, he was

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 yesterday down
Glen Tilt to the Forest Lodge, his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert driving e 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-past 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 be a Royal salute in honour of the arrival
of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge at
Black 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 oble 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 Iladdo 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. Romains 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.
