A story comes to us from Scotland,' which, we are sorry to say rests upon un impeachable authority, and it is one that must make us blush for our felloAV-coun trymen. As is Avell knoAvn, her Majesty, in accordance with the traditions of Scotch Presbyterianism, invariably Avorships, Avhen at Balmoral, in the little parish church of Crathie. There one of the most powerful rulers in Europe may be seen Avorahipping with some of the hum blest of her subjects, all alike suppliants at the throne of the King of kings. Jt is well that such should be the cade, and we should be very sorry if so admirable a cus tom had to be discontinued ; but it is cer tain that it will have to be stopped and a private chapel used at Balmoral, unless the inquisitive hordes of tourists who in fest the Highlands mend their manners. It appears that for some time past the Queen and the members of the Royal family who attended Divine service in Crathie church have been much annoyed by the crowds of inquisitive and imper tinent snobs who have attended there, not for the sake of public worship, but simply for the satisfaction of staring at Her Majesty. This annoyance culminated last Sunday, where there was, of course, an additional attraction expected in the Duchess of Edinburgh, who has gone on a visit to her Royal mother-in-law. Cra thie church Avas much crowded on the occasion Avith a well-dressed mob, Avho filled up the aisles and pews, and so great was the crowd that several ladies screamed out and fainted. We all know what a fashionable crush is, and very edi fying the spectacle must have been in a quiet little parish church near the Queen's Highland home. But the worst has to be told. The Royal personages, hearing, Aye presume, that they were to be thus an noyed by this miscellaneous horde of snobs, stayed away from Crathie Church, and had a quiet service to themselves at home, and when the news that they Avere not coming got wind we are told that " a perfect stampede of intending Avorshippera took place." There Avere "loud and free expressions of disgust" and disap pointment, and as the service commenced scores of people left the church.
