SCOTLAND.

The Queen and the Prince Consort have driven out, among other places near Balmoral, to Alt-na-Gusach, Lochnagar, and the falls of the Quoich; Mr. Walpole accompanying them. The Prince Consort has continued his operations against the deer, and the Prince of Wales has been grouse-shooting. Prince Alfred arrived at Balmoral on the 28th September.

The Queen has given a ball to the servants and gillies in the new Ball-room. The Court were present for some time.

It is expected that the Court will return from Balmoral about the 15th of October. The weather continues highly favourable for deer-stalking, but the Prince Consort has not been so successful in the forest this year as he was in former seasons.
