PREPARATIONS AT WINDSOR FOR THE RE-
CEPTION OF HER MaiEsT v.—Her Majesty having ex-
pressed an anxious desire that the new riding-house should
be completed at the earliest possible moment, Messrs.
Grissell and Peto, the contractors, had guaranteed that the
building should be fit for the use of the Queen by this
day. The only work required to be perfected was the
plastering a portion of the interior walls ; but the late
severe frost retarded the operations of the workmen for a
short time. Should the present severe weather continue,
it is not improbable that her Majesty's departure from
Buckingham Palace for the Castle may be postponed for
a few days beyond the time originally fixed upon by her
Majesty. It is fully expected that the ceremony of the
christening of the Princess Royal will take place at
Windsor. The alterations and other arrangements con-
nected with the Royal ki:chen are fast approaching towards
completion. The whole of the culinary arrangements
will be perfected by this evening. Upon the arrival of
the Court a public meeting of the inhabitants will be held
-
for the purpose of voting congratulatory addresses to her
Majesty and Prince Albert on the birth of the Princess
Royal. " Better late than never."
