THE LADY ELGIN DIsAsTER.-Three more
bodies have been recovered from the waters
OF Lake Michigan. The Chicago papers no.
tice number OF mistakes which have occur
red in the identification of the dead;
In one case the friends of a young man
samed ComerIOrd, were about 10 bury his
body with military houors, when another par
ty appeared upon the ground, ana proving
almost beyond rubt That IL was the BODY OF
a man named O'Brien, triumphantly bore it
aWay The clothing and articles found upon
the body tailed very nearly win descriptions
furnished of Comerford, Pierce and McAu-
life with the exception that IL was nnally as
cartained that both Pearce and McAulifle had
on shoes while on the body were found boots.
Comerford was supposed 10 have on boots, as
he had worn pair from the house, and white
socks, while on the body were founo TWO odd
socks. The friends of O'Brien, however, to
prove their claim to the body, brought the
pair Of boots Comerford had worn away from
home and which he had left at bootmaker's,
wearing away a pair of shoes purchased a.!
tha place and also two odd socks mating the
Ones found on the body.
The coronerk jury IN the case OF the loss OF
the steamer have rendered n verdict. They find
that the steamer and schooner had lights
placed on the night of the disaster in accord
ance with the requirements of The law, and
they consider the first cause of the collision to
be tn defective arrangement or the lights as
appoin ed by law to be carried on board sail
ing vessels. AS a further cause OF the disaster
they censure the second mate of the schooner
for not informing the captain Of the steamers
lights when he came on deck previous 10 the
collision. TREY further find that the second
mate was incOtn petent to manage tho schooner,
and censure Capt. Malliott for not coming To
anchor TO at certain what amount of damage
was done to the steamer. The jury are Of
opinion that all lake passenger boats should
be built with wHter-Iignt compartments, and
are con fiaent that had this been the case with

and Washington. The Chicago Press aud
Tribune gives the following account OF the
run from Detroit to Chicago:
The special train FIR the conveyance of the
party westward over The Michigan Central
Railroad was to leave at 10 A. NJ. Probably
most OF our AmeI lean railrCad officers would
be oaly TOO happy TO put these distinguished
Strangers iii receipt OF the utmost cOurtesIes
OF their lines, but this is contrary to the wishes
OF the party, who, 1t is understood, are ~
travel by special trains in English sty lie. and
pay the English first Class rate, equal to five
cents per nile Tor each passenger, and this
the sum paid yesterday TO The MIchi-
gan Central Railroad, or between $500 and
500 for The " hole party.
Ihe train consisted of the Directors car

for This occasion touched up and re-titted liz
some minor details, and furnished with dome

the line, aud i'll front OF this stiII the car char
tered by the Marquis of Chandos, not III Lord
Renfrew'S party, but thus occupying car
riage of his own tor the occasion.
The train lett Detroit al ~ a. NJ, Superin-
tendent Rice accompanying the party. A
splendid engine drew the train, and pilot
eugIue, ten minutes III advance, led the way
Out across The Peninsula SAFE. The run OF
3Sl miles was made IN 10 hours, Including i
few stops for wood and water and change o1
engines at Marshall. The sleepiug car was
used as a lar0er, aud for the attendants.
The car designed tor the use OF the Prince OF
" 1les and his parry, in Journeying from Cin-
cIunau TO Washington, has been nnlshed aud
sent on. Itis arranged In compartments, with
sitting room, sleeping couches, dining-room,
closets, &c aud at one end is an open yeran-
dab, which will accommodate a dozen persons
with seals, affoIdlng fine opportunity To
view the road and surrounding country. 1t
is SAID TO be the most beautiful car on any OF
the roads of the States, and for this reason II
has been rendered and accepted for the use OF

THE WAY THE QUEEN TRAVELS 1NCOG.-
On Tuesday forenoon, says the Inverness
(Scotlaud) Courier, gen tleman drove to the
door of the comfor table inn or hotel known
as the G rants Arms, in the centre of the open
square wbicn constitutes the village of Gran
town, the capital of Strathspey. He obtained
audience OF the land!ady, Mrs. Glass, and said
he wished to engage the whole house that
aight for newly married couple and their
suite. The worthy hostess demurred, as she
might thus exclude some of her best Gus TOM
ers; but the applicant was very civil as well
AS urgent, and gave assurance that the party
was "highly res pee table" There was no diff
ference as 10 terms, and Mrs. Glass was told
that she would be glad afterwards to know
that she had stretched a point to accommodate
the party. In these circumstances an arrange
ment was come TO, and the occupants of The
mouse at the time were politely ested to
board out for the night. The principals ar
rived in the eyening-apparently quiet people,
satisfied with every thing and every body q bou [
them. In a newly married couple such eq ua-
uimity might have been expected, but this
part of the affair was evidently hoax, and
had only the effect OF raising Cople lures
as to who the party might bej but this
point all the attendants were dumb. Next
morning at 10 O'Clock the carriages were
at the door, and the strangers took their seats
All being ready to start, Mrs. Glass was call
ed for, and Lord Churchill com mplimanted her
on the cleanliness and order of her establish
ment. The strangers. he said, had been very
comfortable, and the lady said she had never
slept more soundiy In her lite Il may now
tell you," said his lordship, as the principal
carriage drove away, THAT you have been en-
tertainiug her most gracious Majesty the
q ueeu aud the Prince Consort. They do not
wish this to be known, however. until abou
ten minutes after they have left" The royal
party then drove toward Castle Grant, The
residence Of the Earl of Seafeld, who, how
ever is at present at Balmacaan in Glen Ur-
quhart. They could not have done more than
drive around the park, as the carriages passed
back through Grnntown and took the road to
Tomin toul before the people recovered from
their surprise at hearing by whom they had
beeE visited,
