The thousands of persons who last night visited
the west-end of London with the idea of seeing something
extraordinary in the way of illuminations were greatly dis-
appointed. The leading thoroughfares—such as Pa
St. James's-street, Regent-street, the Haymarket, &a.,
usually on these occasions one blaze of light—were almost
in their usual state, the illuminations being few in number
and entirely confined to the tradesmen immediately con-
nected with the court. The club-houses, without one ex-
ception, exhibited their usual gloomy state at this season
of the year, not another light of say description being
visible. There were but eight tradesmen in Pall-mall from
Trafalgar-square to St. James's Palace, and but six in St.
James-street, who had illuminated, and these only with a
plain star, one or two having in addition the initials of
'• P. W." The streets above-named and those adjacent were
crowded with pedestrians and vehicles, and much surprise
and disappointment was expetwed at the paucity of the
illuminations. Between sixty and seventy of the court
tradesmen dined together last everaug at the St. Jamee's-
hall. Mr. Graves, of Pall-mall, presided, and Mr. Melton,
of Regent-skeet, was in the vice-chair.
The coming of age of the heir apparent was celebrated by
the inhabitants of the royal borough of Windsor yesterday
with every demonstration of loyalty and respect, although,

agreeably to the wishes of her Majesty that all rejoici;ge
connected with the court should be dispensed with for
twelve mouths from the death of the Prince Consort, the
customary ringing of the Castle hells aid firing of the royal
salute by the Castle bombardier did not take place. The
inhabitants, on learning that it would not be distasteful to the
Queen to give expression to their loyalty on this important
event, caused a salute of 101 guns to be find in the Bache-
lors' Acre, their houses to be decorated with • profusion of
flags and banners, bearing various appropriate devices, and
merry peals to be rung from the parnth church of St. John
throughout the day, and then brilliantly illuminated their
houses in the evening. At noon the Ist Battalion of Cold-
stream Guards, under the command of Colouol Airey,
marched from the barracks to the Long Walk, where they
fired a feu de joie, and me three cheers in honour of the
day.
The troops stationed at Aldershott celebrated the event
by firing a feu de joie in honour of the occasion. The
division turned out at eleven o'clock in review order, and
proceeded in the direction of the Long Valley, apparently
with the intention of forming up there ; they halted, how-
ever, on Burn's-plain, as the valley, owing to the recent
rains, presented a sea of mud, precluding the possibility of
military movements. The troops were drawn up as follows :
Royal Hone Artillery co the right flank, infantry (too regi.
mean) in two lines, two brigades in front and one in rear.
The cavalry brigade was also drawn up in line in rear of the
former. At oat o'clock C and CI, batteries Royal Horse
Artillery fired a royal salute of twenty-one gone, the infantry
firing the first round of the feu de joie immediately after the
seventh gun, and the second and third round in like maouer.
Between the rounds the beads of each regiment, massed to-
gether in brigades, struck up the National Anthem. Three
hearty cheers were then gives for his Royal Highness, the
troops presented arms, the bands again playing the
National Anthem, and the interesting ceremony was
brought to a conclusion. During the day the royal standard
was displayed at headquarters.
At Oxford the suspicions event was eeMbeated by the
ringing of the various bells on Sunday and yesterday. Great
di appointment at there being nopubbe rejoicing exists in the
University and city, where his Royal Highness enjoys the
utmost popularity, and from the appearance of things in the
town when our parcel left them was every indication of •
public demonstration both by "gown and town." The
authorities of the University, anticipating mmething of the
kind, have espied • numerous body of special constables.
At Cambridge the coming of age of his Royal Highness
was observed throughout the day by firing mid joy.peals
es the bells of the principal churches. At the usual
quarterly meeting of the tows council, after some local
matters ha bees sited, en address to hie Royal Highness
the Prises of Walls apes the attainment of his majority
was adopted by the annuaiL
