London, Aug 2o.-The Queen is to arrive ut Balmoral
this afternoon for stay OF three months. accompanied
by Princess Beatrice and Prince Henry Of Batten-
berg and the Duke and Duchess Of Connaught will
join the party at the castle for few days The
Queen has rather suffered in health from the recent
extreme heat. but will, no doubt be soon put right
by the bracng air Of upper Deesido. Osborne is by
no means desirable abode In hot summer weather,
and indeed the air Of the Soent Is always TOO re-
taxing for the Queen. who Invariably gets somewhat
out Of health after few weeks residence In the Isle
Of Wight. There is . glare about Osborne in sultry
weather which Is very trying and neither In the
house nor In the grounds has 1t been easy OF late "

ATTENDANCE OF MINISTER'S AT BALMoRAL.
hear that the Queen Is much disposed to discon-
Hnue tho practice OF having Cabinet Minister con-
SANITY In attendance at Balmoral. During the last
two years communication between Balmoral and Lon
don has been much facilitated, and documents which
leave Whitehall at O'Clock on Monday arc In the
hands Of the Queen carly the next morning and back
In London before the public onices open on Wednes'
day. Her Majesty has also . private telegraph wire
which runs direct from the castle to London so that
her resdencc In the Highlands causes no interruption
To the transaction OF public business. During tie
rule that either the Prime Minister or one Of the Sec
retares OF State should always be in attendance on
Her Majesty, except when the Court was at Bncking
ham Palace or Claremont. Then the attendance Of
Minister at Windsor Castle was dispensed WITH and
after few years. at Osborne; but Ministers have al
ways continued to visit Balmoral not. however, with
the former regularity. the Queen Is often there for
weeks together without member OF the Cabi
net being at the Castle. There is really no prac
deal object IN having Minister in attendance on the
Sovereign unless Of course, there is crisis In public
eIsirs.
LORD HoUGHToN'S APPOINTMENTS.
Lord Houghton has taken all the old hands at
CAstle Dublin. who, 10 use legal phrase attorned
- him quite readily as they had TO Lords Aber-
deem, Londonderry and Zetland, being like the Vicar
Of Bray so far as politics CO. There was, however,
one exception In the State steward Lord Langford,
who resigned his appointment and as the Office is
customarily filled by peer peers eldest son, and
Is semi political In It's complexion, Lord Iioughton
has q very small body TO select from.
THE QUEEN FILLED THE GREAT OFFICES.
The great offices and all the household posts have
practically been flied up by the Queen herself as Mr.
Gladstone placed them entirely at Her Ma)estys
disposal and requested that she deal with them exactly
as she pleased. A well-knOwn peer was suggested
BY Mr. Gladstone for OF the great Offices but his
appointment vas vetoed by the Queen which was
awkward for the Prime Minister, who, hear, had
already inumated to the nobleman In question mat
this high posi- would be offered him.
TILE Discomfort OF THE WELSH.
Dir. j. f. Ellis, having been complimentcd with
a Junior lordship OF the Treasury, assures AIS en-
ughtened constituents that the Ministry Is the most
friendly to Wales that has evor been formed This Is
ell very fnc; but the movement which was known
last session Tafys revolt" and which caused so
much uneasiness TO the Separatist Whips, Is likely
TO be considerably stimulated by the undisguised
discomfort of several prominent Welsh members. who
are full OF resentment against MIR. Gladstone.
SIR LYON rLAYYAIR's ELEVATION.
Mr. Gladstone did very clever thing when he
proposed to the Qasen the occsaion Of his Visit
TO Osborne that Sir Lyon Playfair should be made
q peer. Her Majesty was delighted, as Sir Lyon
has always been persona grata at Court; for be
was a great favorte with the Prince Consorf. VINO
constantly employed bin in various ways during
the last ten years Of his life. They became ac-
ouainted during tho exhibition OF 1851, and con-
siderable intimacy was the result Tho elevation
OF Playfar Is, therefore, very acceptable 10 TIC
Queen; but It keenly exasperoed the Irish members,
who have not forgotten that when the now peer was
temporarily acting as the Chairman Of Committees
he rutllessly suspended them EN- masse

Sir Rainald Knightiey Is believed TO have accepted

formerly refused peemge. and there was probably no
sersod since the death Of Perceva when Tory Prime
Minister would have declined 10 grant cOronet either

belonged to the old extinct school Of Tories who swore
by Lord Eldon and the Duke Of Wellington and NJ
