WINDSOR, MONDAY. EVENING.—IIER, MAJESTY'S
birthday was celebrated in Windsor to-day by the ring-
ing of bells, the firing of cannon, ani a more than ordi-
nary consumption of " creature comforts." To write
by the card, the morning was ushered in by joyous peals
from the bells of St. John's Church, well seconded by
those in the tower on the Castle walls called " Julius
Caesar's Tower," and between them they continued
ringing nearly the whole day. At noon the corpora ion
ordnance thundered forth a royal salute in the Bache-
lor's-acre, answered by the royal guns on the Belvidere
battery in the Great park. At five o'clock, P.M., the
Mayor and Corporation, assisted by one of the borough
Members (Colonel Reid). and a large party of the prin-
cipal inhabitants and neighbouring gentry, did ample
justice to a splendid dinnersetbefure them by the artistes
de cuisine of the White Hart Inn, after which mart‘
loyal toasts were given and heartily responded to. There
were many other dinners in hononr of the day. As the
evening set in all the inns and princ,pal shops were
very evening
illuminated. Company still continues to
flock into Windsor, notwithstanding the state apart-
ments have ben closed, in order to prepare them for the
reception of the illustrious and distinguished persons ex-
pected to visit her Majesty and the Prince Consort
pending the races at Ascot; but the public generally,
however they may be disappointed at not seeing the in.
terior of the Castle, have had the unusual gratification of
being allowed free admission to the private parterre and
both terraces for the last three days, and the same pri-
vilege may also be enjoyed to-morrow. On Sunday
afternoon the parterre was so crowded with well-dressed
compsiiy that the band of the Ist Lite Guards were
glad to retreat up the flight of steps leading to the
°Astern terrace. To-morrow (Whit-Tuesday) is the natal
day of the infant Princess Helena Augusta Victoria, now
with tffe Court at Claremont, and it is possible, there-
fore, that the Court will remain at Claremont until the
following day, instead of returning to Buckingham
Palace, as stated.

TUE LATE Loss Or ELEVEN LIVES AT SEA.—We
lately quoted from the Inverness Courier an account of
three seamen and a woman having arrived at Inverness,
stating themselves to have been saved froni a ship burned
at sea. The account given by, the parties was circum-
stantial enough; but, unfortunately for the credulity et
our northern neighbours and the parties moat interested,
it turns out to be a gross fabrication. The Inverness
Journal says—" The parties are still inmates of the in-
&way ; but all the ingenuity with which they concocted
their tale of buffering was not sufficient to shield their
imposture from the suspicion of Mr. Macbean, our super-
intendent of police. He chanced to be in the country
when they arrived in town; but, on hearing the nature.
of their statements, he pronounced theta false, and com-
menced his inquiries. Tracing them from Beuly, he
found that they bad regaled themselves with three half-
mutchkins of whisky at Bogroy Inn, very likely to pre-
pare them for their debut at Inverness. Mr. Macbean
has since learned from his subordinate at Campbeltown
that some time ago persons answering to the description
of the impostors were crossed at Fort George ferry to
Ross-shire. The Campbeltown officer is expected in
town to-morrow, when be will confront them in order to
their identification. We hope that this gross attempt to
tamper with public sympathy will be punished with such
a severity, as will really deter others from committing the
like offences in future."
THE LATE ' FIRE FEAR THE POST-OFFICE.—Last
evening Mr. Wm. Payne, the City Coroner, and a jury,
assembled at the Bell Inn, Noble-street, for the purpose
:
of inquiring into the circumstances connected' with the
outbreak of the recent fire in Staining-lane, near the
General Post-office. Ann Taylor, of -9, Staining lane,
said that her house adjoined the one in which- the fire
originated, and which belonged to Mr. Falshaw, a paper
box manufacturer. On Friday night, about a quarter
past eleven o'clock, her attention was directed to the
premises by smoke issuing from the doorway. She
immediately gave the alarm, and informed Goddard,
the ward-beadle and engine keeper, of the outbreak.
Police-constable White Henderson (City force) said that
when the fire broke out there was nobody at home.
Mr. Falshaw, however, came home about three next
morning. He met him at the corner of Falcon-square,
and said to him, "You were wanted three hours ago ;
something has happened at your house." He inquired
what it was, and witness replied " The place has been
on fire." Mr. Fahhaw then said, " Why,l left no one
there ; how can that be ?" Witness was unable to tell
h-iw the fire began. John Scott, engineer at Watling-
street fire-station, said he was called to the premises at
ten minutes past eleven o'clock. lie repaired imme-
diately to the place with a couple of engines, and he
found the shop on fire, and the heat was Fo intense thAt
he could not stand upright. The flames were then
burning round the shop. Witness got on his knees, and
Tv.i by that means enabled to pour buckets of water on
the fire until the engines were set to work. After some
farther evidence the inquiry was adjourned for a week.
