SCOTLAND.  The Crown Prince of Denmark.—The woman to whom his Royal Highness gave a sovereign when crossing Kessock Ferry is of the name of Gow, and lives in our neighbourhood. She nursed one of the younger members of the Seaforth family, and, as she advances in years, her good manners, it appears, do not desert her. On the Prince entering the boat, he saw no vacant seat, and none offered to make room for the "furrener ;" but Mrs. Gow rose, end with great politeness requested him to take her seat, which he did, and she was rewarded in the maimer already stated, and to her daughter he also gave a half sovereign. This gift, from so distinguished an individual to an old woman and her daughter, galled and mortified their less polite companions, and, we trust, taught them a good moral lesson. We presume the coins will be kept as an heir-loom in the family. The parties reside at the old porter's lodge leading to Dunglass.—Ross-shire Advertiser. We have much pleasure in announcing that Graham Moore, Esq., second son of James C. Moore, Esq., of Corswall, has been bequeathed the fine estate of the Manor of Monckton, in Gloucestershire, by the will of the late Mrs. Mitchell, aunt of Mrs. Moore of Corswall. We understand that Mr. G. Moore, in accordance with the conditions of the bequest, now takes the names of Mitchell and Esnieid. Presentation of a Whole-Length Portrait of the Most Noble the Marquis of Breadalbans.—On Monday the Town Council of Perth was convened, upon the solicitation of Mr. Alex. Hill of Edinburgh, to allow him an opportunity of gresenting to the city the full-length portrait of Lord Breadalbane, which has been recently painted by Mr. J. M. Barclay, an artist of Perth. The Lord Provost presided at the meeting, and introduced Mr. Hill, who addressed the Council in a neat speech, in which he requested his Lordship, in the name of the city of Perth, to accept of "this picture and its accompanying frame, as a humble offering of respect and affection for the place of my father's and of my own nativity." Mr. Hill's address was received with loud cheers. The Lord Provost returned thanks to Mr. Hill for his splendid gift to the city. Ayr Wool Fair.—A good many lots of wool were exhibited at this market on Tuesday. Prices were good, but the sales thaQook place were not considerable. As the market was no-E sufficiently advanced when we.,went to. press to enable us to give anything like proper quotations, we forbear doing so till next week—Apr Observer. Tweed Fishings.—During the week the fishing stations below the bridge have continued to be very productive. On Monday morning, at the Carr Rock, 120 fish were inclosed at a haul; on Tuesday, at Hallowstell, one of the stations near the mouth of the river, in three successive hauls, 131, 80, and 50 were brought to shore; and at Outwaterstell, 121 taken at a haul. The season for grilses is at present very promising. The small quantity of water at present in the river prevents the fish proceeding up any length; they are to be seen very plentifully sporting in the bay, and all that is wanting to induce them to ascend the river in greater numbers is more rain.—Berwick Advertiser. Suspected Child Murder—On Thursday week, about two o'clock in the afternoon, when two mason's labourers were going to draw water from the park, not burial place, surrounding the Rev. Mr. °Milan's church, they saw the naked body of a recently-born male infant lying quite exposed upon the hard bare road a few yards from the well, and nearly close to the wall bounding the thoroughfare from Irvine Place to Ramsay Street, or what is better known as the new thoroughfare. It must have lain there but a short time, as the well was a good deal frequented during the forenoon and nothing of the kind seen. The ye immediate notice to the masons working close by, —atter ran up and wee the brutality could thus throw over a height of day, and exposed to the gaze from many windows, a well formed and lovely infant, whose body bore evident marks of violence. The masons treated the body with great humanity, and while about to bear it away to their shed until they could inform the authorities, a lady, in passing, handed them her handkerchief to spread over its body. IsTo trace, so far as we know, has hitherto been got of the unnatural could such a brutal action, nor of authorities are on the lookspeedily to apprehend the  e shocked at wall, in the  _ who
