The Empress at Church.

--When at the town of Dunkirk, in Scotland, the Empress Eugenia worshipped God in the new Protestant Cathedral or Parish Church of the ancient city. A correspondent writes:

‘ "There were two other ladies and two gentlemen. They were in the Duke's seat.--Everything was just the same as it no person of importance was present. The Duke of Atholi and Miss McGregor were in their accustomed places, and the servants behind them, as usual. Mr. Wilson preached from Luke XIX. 9, from the words. 'This day is salvation come to this house.' And in the prayer, after our own Queen and Royal family, he prayed for a blessing for that royal lady who is now sojourning in our beloved country, and that God would be pleased to bless her visit for the object sought — that she would soon be restored to her usual health, and that her visit might also tend to cement the friendship of the two great nations, &c., &c.; but he took no notice of her being present in our assembly. So quietly was everything done that no one knew anything about it until they saw her coming into the church, and there was no one staring."
