ST. MARTIN'S elmßut.—The intricate scaffolding
to the steeple of this church having been erected with
unusual rapidity, the work of taking down the damaged
part has already commenced, and a great quantity of
the stone has been deposited on the ground. On com-
mencing the task of demolition it was ascertained that
the whole of the steeple upwards from the part struck by
the electric fluid had been completely shaken, and that
the entire rebuilding of so much of it was imperatively
necessary. The process of taking it down is rendered
somewhat protracted, as each stone is lowered sepa-
rately. The gilded ball and vane that wore at the sum-
mit have been slung to the uppermost scaffolding,'so
that the trouble of lowering them and afterwards raising
them to their proper position has been avoided. The
services in the church have been resumed.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—We un-
derstand that special trains are ordered to be in readi-
ness, at a very early hour on Monday morning next, to

lute on board the Royal George yacht, Captain Lord
