THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO
SCOTLAND.

(From the Scotsman.)

The announcement that the Queen is about to visit
Scotland, has been hailed with lively satisfaction by
her loyal subjects in this part of the kingdom. Such
an event has, we believe, been for a considerable time
past in contemplation. Her Majesty has, we under-
stand, expressed a desire that-her visit should be at-
tended with as little display as possible ; and the short-
ness of the time allowed for preparation, is probably
intended to prevent unnecessary and expensive pa-
geantries. On the present occasion, therefore, there
will be less external magnificence than on the visit of
George the Fourth, twenty years ago. We need not
look for the same muster of Highland clans. Scot-
land's mighty poet and romancer will also be wanting
to animate the scene, and shed on the Royal presence
the lustre of his genius and name. Nevertheless, We
confidently anticipate that the reception given to her
Majesty will be worthy of a hospitable and generous
people, and there will, we know, be ensured for her
the highest demonstrations of attachment on this, her
first visit to the Scottish capital.
Her Majesty is to leave London on Monday week,
the 29th inst., in the Royal George yacht, attended
by two ships of war, and is expected to reach Gran-
ton Pier on Wednesday. She will be accompanied by
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and other illus-
trious personages, including probably the Duke of
Wellington, and if the state of the country will per-
mit of their absence from head-quarters, Sir R. Peel
and Sir James Graham. On landing, the Royal party
will proceed to Dalkeith Palace, the seat of the Duke
of Buccleuch, where they will remain during the
whole of Thursday. On Jh ridav, the Queen will hold
a drawing-room at Holyrood, the ladies to appear in
morning-dresses, an arrangement intended to pre.
vent the ostentation and expense of Court costume.
There will, of course," be a numerous assemblage. of
noblemen and gentlemen in uniform, and a strong
muster is expected of the Queen's Body Guard, the
Deputy-Lieutenants of counties' and other personages
of note. On Saturday. her Majesty and suite will
visit the principal sights of the metropolis, and on Sun-
day attend Divine service in the High Church.
Having thus honoured the metropolis, the Queen
will proceed on Monday to Scoone Palace on a visit
to the Earl of Mansfield. She will afterwards visit
Lord Willoughby D'Eresby at Drummond Castle,
the Earl of Kinnoul at Duplin Castle, and the Mar-
quis of Breadalbane at Taymouth Castle, where ex-
tensive preparations are making for her reception. In
her route, she will see some of the finest of our High-
land scenery, including Dunkeld ; and, after a week
thus happily spent, the Royal party will return to
Dalkeith Palace, on Monday, the 12th proximo, and
re-mbark the next day for Woolwich.
A special meeting of the Edinburgh Town Council
was held yesterday, when a committee was appointed
to make the necessary arrangements for the reception
of the Royal visitors. The strongest desire was mani-
fested by all parties to render these as complete as
possible, and to welcome her Majesty in a style
worthy of the capital of Scotland. This is a feeling
in which all good subjects will participate. We hope,
however, that the Committee will not suffer their
loyalty to get the better of their prudence, as we are
sure that any very costly display—which, indeed,
the city can ill afford—would, in the present state of
the country, be at variance with her Majesty's
wishes. We do not profess much sympathy with that
sort of utilitarianism which seeks to abolish altoge-
ther those external splendours in which so many find
enjoyment ; but while we hold that our young and
popular Sovereign should be welcomed with enthu-
siasm, we should regret to see such profuse extrava-
gance as attended the visit of George the Fourth,
when, among other follies, 5,0001. was added to the
city debt, to furnish out an entertainment in the Par-
liament House. Our loyalty will be best shown by
respecting the judicious desire of her Majesty, that her
visit should partake more of a private character than
of an affair of state.

ROYAL PROGRESSES.
THE QUEEN DOWAGER'S INTENDED VISIT
TO MALVERN WELLS.

0 liquidi cristalli, onde s' etingua
L'ardente sete a miseri mortali.
Ma piu salubre e, se tra vive pietre
Rompendo l'argentate, e fredde cora
Incontra it nuovo sol, che, it puro argento
Co' raggi indora.

Malvern, noted from early ages for its Holy
Well Waters, and which her Majesty► the Qeeen
Dowager intends to visit, lies, recorded as
a fertile spot, like a gem on the bosom of
Worcestershire. But its well, situated on the
side of the hill of the same name, is the greatest
of its attractions; and this is not the first time
that Royalty has visited it, or drank of its health-
giving waters.

- Et is a theme that could only be wrought out
by the poet, to describe the beautiful prospects
that are to be seen by the spectator, once arrived
at Malvern-hill. If a distant view delights, here
you may see the counties of Monmouth, Here-
ford, Radnor, Brecknock, Salop, Worcester,
Gloucester, and Stafford, together with many
market..towns. If you are pleased with a nearer'
view, the pear-trees of Worcestershire, at this
immediate season in full bearing, furnish a rich
summer scene. On the western side the apple-
trees of Herefordshire, with their purple hue,
make an agreeable variety; add to this the va-
ried ground, the beautiful but diminutive hills,
and' the rich, woods which improve the Here-
fordshire prospect. • If to the beauty of the situa-
tion be added the salubrity and pureness of the
air, Malvern for the summer months affords as-
desirable a residence as is anywhere to be met
with iii England.
The H oly Well, called Malvern Well, is situated
itbduta .quarter of a mile below the village. Its
waters are characterized by an extraordinary
purity, that makes it exceed in this respect any
other known. The purest waters in the city of
Worcester contains fifty times as much earth,
the hot well at Bristol twenty times, and the
spring at Henwick-hill, near Worcester, twelve
times as•much earth. As the best proof of its
excellent clearness Dr. Wall, after a very dry
season in 1743, evaporated three quarts of this
Holy Well waterin an open silver vessel, when no
residuum was left that could be. collected, only
the bottom of the vessel was tinged of a pale
yellow colour, which was considered to be some-
what of a bituminous or oily nature.
At the well is built a large house, with all
conveniences, for the reception of those who come
to drink the waters.

Perhaps nothing completer can be found of
Malvern than an ancient song made in praise of
this place and its waters, which is believed to have
been composed in the reign of James the First :

AN OLD SONG.
As I did walk alone
Late in an evening
I heard the voice of one
Most sweetly singing,
Which did delight me much,
Because the song was such,
And ended with a touch.
0 praise the Lord.
* * * *
Out of thy famous hill,
Fair Malverne, springeth
A water, passing still,
Which always bringeth
Great comfort to all them
That are diseased men,
And makes them well again,
To praise the Lord.
* * * *

Hast thou a wound to heal,
The which loth grieve thee ?
Come then unto this well,
It will relieve thee ;
. Here succour find from ill,
By money given still,
Thanks to the Christian will
0 praise the Lord.

A thousand bottles there,
Were filled weekly,
And many costrils rare
For stomachs sickly ;
Some of them into Kent,
Some were to London sent,
Others to Berwick went,
0 praise the Lord.

Malvern is said to derive its name from the
British word moel, signifying bald, and were,
alders, importing a bald hill with alders at its
base, which was formerly the character of this
place. Before the Conquest it was a wilderness
thick set with trees, in the midst of which some
monks, who aspired to greater perfection, retired
from the Priory of Worcester, and became her-
mits. The enthusiasm spread so fast, that their
number soon increased to three hundred, when
they formed themselves into a society under the
order of St. Benedict, and founded a monastery.
An opinion is abroad, that in Malvern-bill
exists a rich mine; for about the middle of the
hill is found a species of talc, resisting the
utmost violence of fire; some of the specimens
are of the nature of steatites, and others have
the splendid appearance of mica. In the year
1711, one William Williams, of Bristol, sunk a
mine about a mile from the town, on the top of
the hill, as you go to the Holy Well., He took
a lease from the Bishop of Hereford, sank shafts,
and built furnaces, but though he never ex-
tracted any considerable metal, he asserted that
both tin and copper were to be found.

Indeed it has long been a superstitious opinion
with the people of this neighbourhood, that
great quantities of treasure have been deposited
in times past, on this range of hills. The origin
of this is not easy to account for, but it has
been considerably strengthened by some casual
discoveries, particularly about finly years ago,
when a quantity of silver coins were found.
A peasant also, in 1650, as he was digging a
ditch round his cottage, discovered a coronet of
gold, set with precious stones. This of course
only added to the belief in this ignorant principle.

TASSO'S CURE FOR SPEAKING ILL.—The character
of Tasso has obtained the highest praise. It is said of
him that there never was a scholar more humble, a wit
more devout, or a man more amiable in society. Some
person reported to him that a malicious enemy spoke ill
of him to all the world. " Let him persevere," said
Tasso ; " his rancour gives me no pain. How much
better is it that he should speak ill of me to all the world,
than that all the world should speak ill of me to him."
OLD PIGEON.-Mr. Isaac Stubbs of the Dale, near
Kirkoswald, in Camberland, has in his possession a
wood-pigeon upwards of twenty-three years old. The
bird, for the most part, remains in the house, and fre-
quently has two very singular playmates—namely, the
sheep-dog and cat. The docility of the bird is truly
wonderful.

"IT IS VULGAR."—Lest I should forget to men-
tion it, I put down here a rebuke which, later in life, Sir
Walter gave in my hearing to his daughter Anne. She
happened to say of something, I forget what, that she
could not abide it—it was vulgar. My love, said her
father, you speak like a very young lady ; do you know,
after all, the meaning of this word vulgar ? 'Tis only
common ; nothing that is, common except wickedness,
can deserve to be spoken of in a tone of contempt ; and
when you have lived to my years, you will be disposed to
agree with me in thanking God that nothing really
worth having or caring about in this world, is uncom-
mon."—Life of Sir Walter Scott.

On Sunday a foreigner, a German, who was very
well dressed, and had a silver watch and guard, besides
a quantity of German coin in his possession, expired in
the Westminster Hospital. He died without being
able to State' Who or what' he was; and must be buried
by the parish unless this should be noticed by some of
his fri
ienndYLorkO-sntrFereitl Westminster, and so evidently in-
ay
evening the deceased was very
capable of taking care of himself, that the police con-
veyed him to the New-way station. He became so
much worse, that Mr. Pearce, the surgeon, was sent
for, and found him labouring under delirium tremens.
He advised that he should be immediately taken to the
hospital, which was done, and every attention paid to
him. He continued insensible up to the time of his
death, and the only words he was heard to utter were
something " Where is the captain ? I want to go
to sleep." He was an extremely well made man, about
six feet high, and twenty-five or twenty-six years of
age, with a fair and very engaging countenance, and
long auburn hair.
LEttit.--Snittatif Abciptirr TO CAPTAIN Bun-
DETT.—On Friday morning, while the 17th Lancers
were performing their field exercise, under the command
of his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, on
Woodhouse Moor, Captain Burdett, during the move-
ments, and when the troops were charging at full gal-
lop, was thrown from his horse, the animal stumbling
upon him. The unfortunate gentleman was so severely
stunned by the fall that he lay as if dead, and the utmost
anxiety was felt by his Royal Highness and the officers
of the regiment. After the lapse of a quarter of an
hour he was so far recovered as to be able to stand up,
and shortly after was conveyed to the barracks in a
coach.—York Courant.

the mills in Dervisbury are in full work. Government,

DERRY'S STEAM
VOYAGE TO CONSTANTINOPLE,

By the RHINE and the DANUBE, in 1840-41.

" Nothing can come more opportunely for the wants of our
summer and autumn tourists than this lively and agreeable re-
cord of A Steam Voyage to Constantinople by the Rhine and
the Danube.' It not only marks out one of the most pleasant
and inviting tours that can well be accomplished, but forms as
acceptable a companion as can be desired on the way—point-
ing out and commenting on all the objects most worthy of no-
tice. Lord Londonderry's interview with the young Sultan,
his private conversatkns with Prince Metternich, his residence
in the palace of Prince Esterhazy, and above all, his accom •
plished I,tdy's introduction to the harem of the Sultan's prime
sinister, afford descriptions, anecd les, and personal traits
which could scarcei have been looked for in the work of any
English traveller."—Evening Paper.
