TIER MAJESTY A T BLAIR ATHOL.

ELAM, ATHOL, SUNDAY.
The sun continues to shine with undiminished
Splendour upon the roy:-_,.1 visitors at Blair Athol; the
geed fortune which has ~:niversally attended her Ma-
jesty in her travels, and in her progress through her
dominions, has been more than ever propitious upon
the present occa.ioh, aid the extreme mildness and
1„ miry w the weather is the subject of general re-
mark and mutual congiLttulation amongst the farmers.
A great number of Lord Glenlyon's tenantry, with
1)41 reapers, male and female, have been buisily oc •
copied during the last week in getting in the harvest
" his Lordship's es=tates, but a great deal of corn is
still standing in some of the more exposed portion of
the Athol domains.

Her Majesty, according to her invariable custom
al r.ee her residence here, rose at seven o'clock yester-
(lay morning, and shortly afterwards was seen taking
Lr morning walk in company with Prince Albert
and the Princess Royal. The youthful Princess
gambols about the grounds in great glee with her
3'"ung playmate, the Master of Glenlyon, a beau-
tiful litttle boy with fine silken hair and a pair
Tit. eyes that glisten like dew drops in the morn-
Ing sun. This fine little fellow bears a strik-
ing likeness to the Lady Glenlyon, and is always
attired in the Highland costume. In his rides about
the country on his Shetland pony, attended by a
groom and servant, he is always saluted and treated
with the most marked respect by the tenantry, who
regard him with that reverence and respect which is
al'‘ays felt in the Highlands for the chieftain's off-
aPring. The guard of Athol Highlanders always turn
tut to present arms to tile Princess Royal when she
first walks abroad in the morning, and then the prac-
tice is discontinued for the remainder of the day.
per Majesty is, as a matter of course, always treated
by the same mark of respect whenever she appears,
but Prince Albert has requested that the custom may
he dispensed with, as far as he is concerned personally,
43 his Royal Highness is in the habit of going in and
out of the Castle very frequently, and with that kind
consideration which he has invariably evinced, he
Fishes to rvoid giving any additional trouble or in-
t,fttivenience to her Majesty's faithful guard of stalwart
atighlanders.
On returning to the Castle yesterday morning her
4'lajesty partook of luncheon at three o'clock, and
Proceeded with Prince Albert to take another drive
Ill) the Glen Tilt, where preparations had been made
tor his Loyal Highness to go deerstalking. Her
Majesty was exceedingly anxious, if possible, to wit-
/leas the noble sport, and her .Majesty's pony had been
knt on before with one of Lord Glenlyon's gillies, in
°rder that she might alight from her carriage and
ks:tend the reeky brow of the hill, where a 1110F:1 fa-
troura,t,Nle opportunity might be obtained of seeing the
herds of deer. Lady Glenlyon had preceded her
kajosty up the glen, and the Queen was accompanied
Prince Albert, Lady Canning, Lord Glenlyon,
Lord Charles Waesley, and Sir Edward Bowater.
On arriving 2t Lacciass, which is at a consider-
ableA distance up the el"", her Majesty and Prince
the
mounted the gr-, ;,onies, and climbed *lig
walks which lead to
the
rugged and precipi:ot s sheep=
tie summit of Cairncl*mman, or the ijill of Gleds,
aO called from its being the favourite resort of hawks,
which are called " glecs" in this part of the country.
ha wind was not exactly favourable for deer-stalk,
tg, but her Majesty and the Prince succeeded in
attaining the loftiest point of Cairnchlamman, and
Prehedl on this dizzy eminence they obtained a mug-
lficent view of the vast domains which belong to the
Princely house of Athol.
It ascending these rocky mountains, nothing ap-
tears to daunt her Majesty, and the gillie who leads
te pony often pauses, and looks along the craggy
r,recipice, as if fearful to conduct his precious charge
.."ta the midst of such dangers; but her Majesty
orders him always to go on, and keeps her seat with
the sai-ne graceful nonchalance as if she were cantering
ftQ1,444 the long-walk in Windsor Park. Yesterday,
w
"" her 4lejesty and the Prince were
th "Perched high, above the world's streer,"
eY were certainly rip-441 by the extraordinary beauty
ra the scene for all the trouble sail 04 which they

tettion of ascending the barren mountain of Ben-y-

qfhtiourbood have ever accomplished, and the at-

that we should hardly think liar Majesty W 91114 Px-

I,,aJeaty's visit to Lord Breadalbane, -at Taymouth,
ts,t year, the most flagrant impositions were prac-
ti..ed upon unwary travellers, many of whom paid
t:el,guineas for a bed, and two guineas for permission
„, le down in a stable ; but notwithstanding the im.
gien- _ •
influx of visitors no such exorbitant charges
have been made here since her Majesty arrived at
Athol. Although many persons would gladly
~tir!tuit to such extortionate demands, the principle of

tpn, and those who have obtained rooms can retain
lett at a moderate rate.
hier Majesty will again attend Divine service at

rdaY, and Dr. Macleod, the minister of the High-
and church of St. Columba, at Glasgow, will have
the honour of preaching this morning before her Ma-

Parts of the surroundin4 country.—Post.

fivAL,UtMING ACCIDENT.—Monday afternoon, about
e clock, a very serious accident happened to the car-
-Liage and horses of Mr. Currie, the banker, in the Re-
gent's Park, which occasioned great alarm and excite-
-tient among the people assembled there. It appears that
the Carriage was being driven at a steady pace towards
e° New-road, when a fly, drawn by one horse, came
61, rough the Cambridge-gate in the same direction, at a
the
pace, and the wheel struck the near-side horse of
1e carriage on the shoulder, which caused both horses
tithe carriage to swerve to the off-side, and in doing so
Pole of the carriage snapped asunder, and the horses
e'ttue quite unmanageable, ran on to the foot-path, and
plunged and kicked in a frightful manner. The coach-
-1 having in vain attempted to stop them, jumped
f
kt (411 the box at the imminent risk of his life, and the
i'ic'treatt also descended from his place behind, and, after
•re
eY had liberated a lady, their mistress, who descended
t 43 tc, the carriage greatly terrified, they attempted
h quiet the horses and to extricate them from the
c,Efte4„e4s, but they were so entangled in consequence
all their hind-legs being over the splinter-bar, that
their efforts were of no avail, until Mr. E.
Lieuings, an artist, of Royal-street, Lambeth, and
ult brother, Mr. C. Hitchings, who were engaged in
forthting up a large fountain in the Colloseutn, rushed
h from the building, and extricated the near-side
4,9L8e, by cutting the harness. The off-side horse imme-
e,—`TY broke away, and in doing so knocked down the
h,-,inan, and the hoof of the horse struck him on the
:4! inflicting a severe wound, and rendering him in-
te“,,,kble- The animal then started off at a furious pace
during the New-road, knocking down several persons
