HER MAJESTY AND PRINCE ALBERTS

VISIT TO CASHIOBURY.
Yesterday afternoon, the liveliest excitement was
manifest at Watford and its vicinity in consequence of the
visit of the Queen and her august Consortto Queen Adelaide
at Cashioburylark. The entire arrangement% were how-
ever conducted in so private a manner, that beyond the at-
tendance in the park of some hundreds of the respectable
inhabitants of the neighbourhood, the visit of her Majesty
did aot assume more importance than that of a private Inds,
vidual. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort came from
Windsor Castle by Uxbridge, where the homes were changed,
and on the arrival of the Queen at Harefield an escort of the
Harts Yeomanry Cavalry, under the command of Captain
Halsey, M.P., was in waiting to receive her Ma arty
with due honours. The yeomanry corps, preceded
Captain Robertson, chief of the county constabulary, escorted
the royal carriage, by the Pinner and Radii, road, to Batch.
worth-heath,and thence, through the Marquis of West-
minster's estate at Moor Park, to the main entrance towards
Watford, and, after passing along Hayden lane, entered the
park by the Casinoe-gate. A strong. body of the county
police force preserved orde- within the park. In
accordance with the expressed desire of her Majesty,
I not the slightest display was exhibited on the part of the
Inhabitants of Watford or Rickmansw. rth, so that the
Queen's visit was unattended by any public demonstration

whatever.
At eight o'clock dinner wrs announced, when the circle
comprised her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, her Serene Righness the Princess of Hesse, his
Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Mar-
quis of Ormonde, the Countess of Gainsborough, the Earl
Howe, the Earl of Denbigh, Lady Clinton, Baron Meysen-
bach, Baroness Scheel, Sir Horace Seymour, the How.
Miss Stanley, Sir Andrew earrard, Colonel Buckley,
Colonel Seymotir, Mr. G. E. Anson, and Miss Mitchell.
His Royal Highness Prince Albert sat on the Queen Dow-
ager's right hand, having on his right the Princese of Heise.
The Queen sat vie cl via Queen Adelaide, with Prince
Edward of Saxe Weimar and the Earl of Denbigh on either
side. The Earl and Countess of Clarendon, who were
honoured by an invitation to join the royal party at dinner,
were unavoidably absent, owing to the demise of her lady-
ship's aunt, the Hon. Harriet Grimaton.
Cashiobury Park belongs to the Earl of Eimer. There is
but little to herald of the mansion as it now exists, although
the late Earl of Essexwxpended a large sum of money in its
partial. restoration by Mr. Wyatt. But a small portion of
the original structure remains, and that so altered, that the
house is neither an old abbey nor ancient domestic country
residence. The cloisters, which were formerly the most
interesting part of the house, have been enclosed, to as to lose
all their former character; and the spacious chapel, years
bygone so much admired by visitors, has now been converted
into a sale d manger. Notwithstanding three alterations,
there are some very elegant apartments belonging to the
mansion. The collection of paintings which adorn the in-
terior comprise numerous family portraits of the Ca*
family, particularly that of the " Lion-like Cat,el" and his
widow, and two children, besides others by Lely, Kneller,
Vandyke, &e. In the collection are several masterpieces by
our nikoderu mists. The gardens of Ceahiobury have for

lengthened period maintained a high character from the
superior taste, combined with completeness, by which they are
distinguished, and no expense was spared by the late Err' to
render them inferior to none in this country. The variety
of shrubs and choice pants cultivated there surpass those of
even Chatsworth or Woburn abbey. The domain, with the
exception of Hatfield-house, is the largest in the county.
