THE COURT. -+-- TEE Court is nominally held at Balmoral, but here, says the correspondent of the Edinburgh Courwnt, the Queen is distinguished for the absence of every- thing approaching to ostentation or parade. A sub- dued quietness seems to pervade the_ whole establish- ment, so much so that it is almost difficult to realise the fact that the Queen of England, the sovereign of the mightiest empire that the sun shines upon, is dwelling in the midst of us. Her Majesty is frequent- ly seen walking by the river, accompanied by one of the princesses or a lady in waiting, attended only by a. footman, or driving out with a retinae not dis- tinguished from any private lady. It is the exhibition of these simple tastes and habits that has endeared her Majesty so much to the unsophisticated inhabi- tants of Deeside. „ PREVIOUS to their Royal Highnesses departure for Scotland the Prince and Princess of Wales stayed at Marlborough-house, and proved in the most gratifying manner that everybody was not out of town. They paid a visit to the Crystal Palace, where they lunched. They also went to the Adelphi to see the wonderful acting of Mr. Jefferson. Another day, and upon the last evening before their departure from London, they dined a.t Gloucester-house with the Duke of Cambridge. Both were in excellent health. On Friday evening the Princess of Wales, with the infant princes, Albert Victor and George, and the Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse and their children, accompanied by the Princess Hilda of Anhalt, left the Euston- square terminus of the North-Western Railway by the 8.40 limited mail express for Aberdeen, on their way to Abergeldie. Here were two saloon carriages to the train for the Royal party, and two additional carriages for the suite and attendants. There was no crowd or press on the occasion. The general manager and other head officials were present, and the Royal train started on its journey at the exact time. Their Royal Highnesses and suite arrived at Aberdeen about one o'clock on Saturday afternoon. After a stay of a few minutes, during which the Deeside engines were affixed to the Royal carriages, the parties drove off for Aboyne, to post thence to Abergeldie, which they reached shortly before four o'clock.. xr. PRINCE AMADETJS, second son of his Majesty ivmg Victor Emmanuel, arrived in this country on Saturday afternoon, upon a visit to the English Court. Prince Amadeus, who is travelling" under the title of Count Pollenzo, was accompanied by his Excellency the rarquis d'Azeglio, Count Maffei, and the Marquis do Baldo. The route taken was viá Calais and Dover, where the Royal travellers arrived by the mail boat at half-past three in the afternoon. Mr. S. M. Latham, vice-consul for Italy at that port, received his Royal Highness on landing at the Admiralty Pier; and Mr. E. T. Way, of the South-Eastern Railway Company, escorted the party to a saloon carriage attached to the company's mail express train then upon the pier. Precisely at 3.45 p.m. the train conveying the Royal visitor left Dover for Charing-cross.
