SCOTLAND AND THE QUEEN.
There lias been much jealousy about the preference for Scotland always shown by the Queen, and especially manifested in the Edinburgh Review of volnuteeis. The Queen’s partiality for * Sandy ’ took its rise in the journey 7 made to the Highlands when, as a young and still submissive wife she accompanied Prince Albert there. It was the first long journey they made together, the first time they had been able to escape from the irksome surveillance of the Court, the first time they had been able to go away without being followed by a mob. Prince Albert then declared that the Scotch peop'e had one great advantage over the English and Irish—-they were more German; a trmsm which cannot be de> ied. The affect ion for Scotland became thus a double senthnent which had never d< : . creased As a proof of this homage she ordered the royal ensign of Scotland to wave over her head at the saluting point instead of the tirne-honond flag of the British nation.
