lIYDROPATLIIC ESTABLISIIMENT,.SUDBROOK PARK, NEAR

R ICIIM ON D.
lIYDROPATHY.—The British Public are in-
formed that the above Institution has been completed under
the immediate direction of Dr. WEISS, in order to convince the pub-
lic mind that drugs so highly injurious to the human system may be
altogether dispensed with in the cure of disease. Dr. Weiss (for-
merly the associate of Vincent Prlessnitz) is well known throughout
Europe for the wonderful cures he has for many years past effected
by the water treatment. That beautiful domain Sudbrook Park, for
centuries the residence of the Dukes of Argyll, forming part of Rich-
mond Park, Surrey, has bean taken of the Crown and converted into
an Establishment of the first order, which is now in full operation.
The terms vary from Three Guineas and upwards, according to the
apartments. This sum includes board, lodging, and professional at-
tendance.
Dr. Weiss may be consulted daily at Sudbrook Park (Fridays ex-
cepted), when he attends at 28, Sackville-street, Piccadilly, from
Eleven till Four.

BOTANIC WATER and BEAR'S GREASE.
When the hair is becoming thin and falling off, the only effec-
tual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-
named articles, applied alternately—the botanic water to cleanse the
roots from scurf and as a stimulant, and the bear's grease as a non-
risher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of bear's
grease for renovating and preserving she hair, Mr. Catlin's account of
the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the
North American Indians, would be a sufficient answer.
ROSS and SONS, 119 and 120, BISHOPSOATE-STREET, who
first introduced the use of bear's grease into this country, and who fat
and kill the animals, recommend the public .to purchase none other
but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances
are their obtaining a spurious article. All vegetable oils applied to
the hair are worse than useless.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOT-

LAND.

Dundee, Wednesday, Sept. 11.
The royal cortege was received at Dundee with
every demonstration of respect, and proceeded at once,
escorted by the Scots Greys through Cupar Angus
to Dunkeld, where her Majesty remained for a short
period at Grant's Hotel. With the romantic scenery
surrounding this picturesque town her Majesty was
familiar, having been received there by Lord Glen-
lyon the year before last, when visiting Taymoith
Castle. The royal carriages were ordered shortly before
twelve, and her Majesty having re-entered her cha-
riot cast a long look of astonishment and admiration
at the sublime scenery around Birnam Wood, which
is now curtailed of its fair proportion of " leafy
boughs," which we suppose have never sprung up
again since they were lopped off and carried to
Dunsinane by Macbeth's opponents. The carriages
then went on to Moulinearn, from whence her Ma-
jesty was escorted by Lieutenant Phillips, with his
detachment of Scots Greys. The postilions were or-
dered to drive slowly in order to afford her Majesty and
the Prince as opportunity of remarking some of the
magnificent objects which burst upon their view at
every turning of the road ; on entering the pass
of Killiecrankie, the scene of Claverhouse's exploits
with the battlefield where he closed his usefu
and eventful career, her Majesty ordered the
postillions to walk their horses, and appeared to be
overwhelmed with delight and admiration at
the beauty of the surrounding scenery. The carriages
then drove on slowly to Blair Atholl. It is expected
that her Majesty will not leave the mansion during
the afternoon. Lord and Lady. Glenlyon have been
invited to join the royal dinner party, which will be
strictly private.
His Lordship, with Lady Glenlyon, will occupy
the residence of Captain Macduff, his Lordship's
factor, during the sojourn of her Majesty at Blair
Atholl. Captain Macduff resides in a picturesque
cottage in the grounds of Blair Atholl.

tators often in a giddy elevation. A park of large
leer, including several royal deer, is quite close to the
7astle. While ascending Glentilt, there is a carriage
(rive of ten miles, hut a distance of two or three miles
from Blair Castle leads within the boundless range
of the red deer, all which may give an idea of the
sequestered nature of the scene. Leaving Blair Castle
in this, the north •east, direction, for the public road
to Inverness runs within a short distance of the south
side, one may wander through a range of moun-
tainous scenery for forty or fifty miles, or until
reaching the eastern side of the Grampians in Aber-
deen and Forfar shires. The valley of Atholl, in the
vicinity of the Castle, presents the same features as
that around Taymouth Castle, or indeed the neigh-
bourhood of any great Highland territorial Lord ;
the valley and lower elevations all showing manifold
traces of art, enterprise, and wealth—the beautiful
meadows skirted with wood running up from the
bottom of the vale to the higher land, sometimes
topping the lower hills and the dark rugged scene in
the back ground, with one or two lowering mountains
limiting the view, as if nature, in its rude and mag-
nificent domain, still scorned and defied the efforts of
man with all the appliances of art.
As this visit is to be of a quiet, private character,
at least as far as a Queen can enjoy those privileges,
Lord Glenlyon has endeavoured to impress this feel-
ing on the population in this quarter. No heather
arches are to be seen along the road from Dunkeld,
as at Taymouth two years since, nor is any demon-
stration anticipated beyond a few bonfires on the
heights, and the reception by the 200 Atholl men,
who are fully equipped and drilled for the occasion.
There are halberdiers with Lochaber axes, and buckler
men, as at Dunkeld in 1842, the main body being
armed with the broadsword. Her Majesty's approach
will be telegraphei from Dunkeld, and two small
pieces of artillery, placed on a rising ground, within
200 yards of the Castle, will fire the royal salute. A
few artillery-men have been sent from Leith fort for
this purpose. Several marquees are to be placed on
the lawn for the accommodation of the Highlanders.
But so quiet did everything appear here last night,
and along the road, that had it not been for the sight
of dragoons quartered here and there, and busy clean-
ing their accoutrements, there was little indication
that the Queen of England was to he in this reaiote
quarter within a few hours. At the inns there was
plenty of accommodation, but this evening the bustle
will be greater. It may be recollected that.the Duke
of Buccleuch was five years lessee of Atholl Forest,
which he regularly hunted. His Grace will, there-
fore, probably aecompany the Prince in the deer-
stalking.

Blair Atholl, Half-past Eleven, A.M.
The day continues fine, and crowds of people are
arriving from the neighbouring districts, almost all in
their best native garb. Lord Glenlyon, fully equipped
as a chief, with an attendant in the Highland costume,
has just passed in his travelling chariot, on his way to
meet the royal party.
(From the Fifeshire Journal.)
We have the pleasure of presenting in another
column, to our readers, a full report of the gratifying
proceedings which took place on the occasion of her
Majesty's visit to Blair Atholl. Her reception, it
will be seen, was most loyal, gallant, and magnificent
—highly creditable to the city of Dundee and its
authorities. We sincerely sympathise with our good
brother of the Dundee Warder in the just indigna-
tion with which he has been tilled towards some
of his contemporaries, who have been sneering at
Dundee as a dirty hole, where our Queen could not
place her most gracious foot, and declaring that she
would never land there, go where she would. The
Perthshire Advertiser declared that she must land at
Perth, the beauty of the fair city being indisputable.
The Aberdeen Banner scouted the very idea of a
Queen of her Majesty's acknowledged good taste
landing anywhere except at Aberdeen. But the
Banner of Ulster (a paper famous for Irish black-
guardism, non-intrusion, and blasphemy) beat all
these authorities hollow, and told her Majesty to call
at Dublin—certainly a truly Irish way of getting to
Blair Atholl Our brother the Warder—who is no
fool, hut, on the contrary, has a considerable spice
of the devil in him, and can say a wicked thing
smartly enough when he is in an ill-humour (which
he always is)—thus handles his presumptuous Free
Church brother of Ulster:—

"He thinks Dublin should have obtained the pre •
ference over Dundee, and the selection of the latter
the two ports are concerned. Kingston he knows to
be vastly before Broughty Ferry, and Dublin immea-
surably preferable to Dundee, in all those adjuncts
that render landing-places or cities agreeable.' Our
Contemporary must confess, however, that Broughty
Ferry and Dundee possess one decided advantage
over Dublin and Kingston, inasmuch as they are in
the line of the most direct route from 'Woolwich to
Blair Castle, which the latter are not ; and as that
happens to be the place of her Majesty's destination,
this single property a great deal more than counter-
balances all the adjuncts' of which he boasts."
It is somewhat curious, by the bye, that the whole
of the papers which our brother abuses are Free
Church papers. Such, indeed, is the hateful charac-
ter of this sect that, when they can get no decent
person to ill-use, they fall upon and tear each other
to pieces. We have frequently reproved them for
their viciousness, but they take no heed to our ad-
monitions, nor even benefit by the example of good-
nature, benevolence, and politeness, which we heb-
domadally set before them. In fact, it is the nature
of this people—" Can the Ethiopian," &c. Now,
with regard to Dundee, we have this to say in de-
fence of her Majesty's conduct in going there, that
though internally it is an ill-regulated town, yet the
approach to it from the sea is admirable, and from the
'lay most beautiful—insomuch, that the Highlanders,
who see it in this way when they come from Perth,
call it, in the original language of Ossian, " The
City of Beauty." But if the Queen would see
Dundee In all its glory, let her get up to the beautiful
hills of Fife about Balmerino, and look at it across
the lovely Tay, where it lies like the vision of a city
such as may he met with in a magnificent and happy
dream.

COURT CIRCULAR.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester
returned to the residence of the King of Hanover on
Thursday, after attending the ceremony of the nup-
tials of Viscount Grimston with Miss `eland.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent took an
airing yesterday in an open carriage, from her resi-
dence, Clarence House, St. James's.
Miss PEEL.—Letters were received in town yes-
terday from Drayton Manor, Staffordshire, dated
Thursday evening, half-past six o'clock, giving a more
favourable account of the young sufferer. The report
of the medical attendant was more favourable, but
there was still considerable fever. The family were
less uneasy.
The Earl of Haddington has left town for Plymouth.

"Thet

Life of Sir David Wilkie." Dr. Gillespie having
Cults, and settled in that ancient seat of learning—
the city of St. Andrew's. His attention to the ad-
vancement of the pupils placed under his charge was
unceasing; and his devotion to the interests of the
University (in which he also held the office of clerk),
and of the city, and of everything in that historical
locality, could not be surpassed. lie lent a helping
hand to the Martyrs Monument, very recently
erected at St. Andrew's. Very few men had greater
versatility of imagination or power of satire ; and
few indeed could commit their overflowing
thoughts more easily to paper, ready for the eye of
the printer and the critic. Not long ago, we heard
Dr. Gillespie himself state, and state with some re-
gret, that many things from his pen were scattered,
if not lost, without preserved duplicates. There is,
however, a vast amounf of his writings, both in poetry
and prose, extant in the magazines of the day, as well
as in the newspaper press of Scotland, particularly in
that of Fife and Dumfries. We have beside us, for
next publication, a poetical communication from Dr.
Gillespie so recent in its date as Monday last. To the
Dumfries Courier he was at one time an occasional con-
tributor ; and his "Farewell to Cann veloseburn"—t he
record of his last visit to hi, birth-place as it has hap-
pened, will long hold a place in the remembrance of
his friends and admirers on the delightful banks of the
Nith. Earnesey, indeed, do we hope that some bio-
grapher will be found to favour the public with the
life and a selection from the works of the individual
whose death we now in sorrow record. Dr. Gil-
lespie was twice married, his former wife being a
daughter of Dr. Hunter, already mentioned; and his
second, who survives to lament his loss, a daughter of
the late Rev. Dr. George Campbell, Cupar-Fife, and
sister of the Right lion. Lord Campbell.—Fife-
shire journal.
