THE REVIEW AT WINDSOR.

(1,1011 TIN

OF Taa DAILY ntwe.)
WINDSOR, TOLSDAY.
By the earliest trains this morning crowds of
visitors of all classes arrived from the metriipolis, sod berm
eleven o'clock the High-street and approaches to the Castle
were densely thronged with spectators. It was generally
empeoted that the Emperor and Empress, accompanied by
bir Majesty the Queen, and his Royal Highness Prime
Albert, would have been present at the meet, and this idea
was apparently confirmed by the fact of Mr. Davis and the
Queen's stag-huunds passing through the town. Instead,
however, of proceeding to Salt-hill, the Emperor and Em.
per, in company with her Majesty and the Prince Dotson,
walked upon the slopes. The Emperor then visited the
dairy and model farms, upon which new building' ey
moat intensive scale have recently been erected.

Shortly before 3 o'clock, the Meyer and Town Comma of
Windsor prim•. eded, is nine carriages, to the Castle, in their
°Meal robes, to present an address of congratulation to the
Emperor.

His Majesty was pleased to reply : " M►• Mayor, Ism
very much pleased with the statements contained in you
address, and I trust that the 'Clause so happily formed will
last for many, many years. I thank you for the hearty re-
ception I have met with in your town, but I am sure I can-
not take it to myself so much as to the circumstance of my
being the guest of your Queen. I was much gratified by
what I witnessed last night in your town, and I beg that
you will express to the inhabitants of Windsor how highly
pleased I was with their kindness and attention."
No sooner had the municipal cortege passed up to the
Cutle, than there was a general movement towards the
Great Petit, when it was known that a review of tits
Household Troops was to take place. The atten.
canes of spectators was enormous, and their eager,
nem to catch a glimpse of the Emperor and Empress
completely frustrated the attempts of the detachment of the
94th Regiment to keep the ground.

.
The Emperor and Prince Albert, in field menhirs eni•
form, attended by a brilliant staff, and accompanied by ha
Majesty the Queen and the Empress f the French, with
the royal children, visitors, and suite, in six open carriages,
arrived at !cur o'closk. The line was formed by
the following regiments:—Second Life Guards, Eoya
Mores Guards, the Carbinters, and two troops of
Horse Artillery. On the arrival of the royal cortege
on the ground, they were received with a royal
salute, the bands playing the " National Anthem" sad
" Partant pour la Syrie." After undergoing a minute is.
spection, the troops, headed by the artillery, marched put
in squadrons, trotted past by squadrons, broke into columns
of troops, countermarched and galloped past lett i■ front,
took up their original position, advanced by regiments from
both flanks, retired by troops from the right of regimeats,
and formed line to the rear on the leading troops covered
by artillery, advanced as echelon of regiments from the left,
changed front to the right on the heads of the regiments,
formed line on the 2nd Life Guards, attacked, broke
into column of troops to the right, and formed line
to the rear of the Second Life Guards, covered by artillery.
The brigade then made a charge, retired from the right of
regiments, and reformed line, advanced in parade order,
and saluted. The Emperor then rode out to the front, sad
addressed Lord Cardigan, who commanded the whole of the
troops, and cap d himself highly satisfied with the in.
spection. The charges were made with very great precise*
and compactness, and the firing of the artillery very rapid
indeed. The whole of the evolutions were performed in a
very admirable manner.
The review lasted for nearly two hours, and the royal Ind
imperial party returned by the Long Walk, about half-put
six o'clock. The walk was densely thronged on both sides,
and the cheers were vociferous and protracted.
