POSTSCRIPT.

SATURDAY.

An electric message from Edinburgh states that the Queen and Prince Albert, at an early hour yesterday morning, ascended to the summit of Arthur's Seat. The Prince at one o'clock laid the foundation-stone of the National Gallery ; and the ceremony, which attracted an immense concourse of spectators, was very imposing.

In the afternoon, her Majesty visited the splendid new Hospital founded by the late Mr. Donaldson in the suburbs of the city, for the education of three hundred destitute children. She was most enthusiastically re- ceived on her route.
