THE ROYAL VISIT TO ARUNDEL

CASTLE.
Annum, FRIDAY.—The Queen has expressed her-
self highly Owed with the visit to Pctworth House
Yesterday, mad his Royal Highness the Prince Consort
was equally; gratified in viewing the rare assemblage of
works of art brought together in that splendid seat.
Colonel and Mrs. Wyndham received the illustrious
party, which comprised, is addition to the Queen and
Prince Albert, the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, the
Duchess of Sutherland and Lady Caroline Leveson
Gower, the Duchess of Bedford, the Marchioness, of
Douro, Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, Viscount
Morpeth, and the Hon. Miss Napier. Her Majesty and
the Royal Prince were conducte over the principal
suite of rooms by the Gallant Colonel and Mrs.
Wyndham.
After the planting of the trees yesterday afternoon,
the Queen and Prince were conducted to the orangery,
by the Duke of Norfolk, from
inspected
whence her Majesty and
party proceeded to the ancient church, and
what remains of its former splendour and :architectural
magnificence. Most of the interior of the building is in
a state of decay, originating in rough treatment by the
soldiers of Oliver Cromwell, who deprived the splendid
tombs of all their enrichments, and converted the edifice
into a stable. It was nearly five o'clock before the royal
party left the church, on return to the Castle.
The Duke of Wellington, when out riding yesterday,
proceeded as far as Littlehampton, and visited the bat-
tery at the mouth of the river Arun. His Grace, who
was accompanied by the Countess of Ellesmere, was
received by Lieutenant A. Wall, of the Coast Guard,
of whom the Noble and Gallant Duke made numerous
inquiries.
The Earl and Countess of March, the high sheriff of
the county, Mr. W. T. Mitford, the Rev. G. A. F. Hart,
and the Rev. M. A. Tierney, had the honour to join the
dinner circle last evening. The party at the banquet was
in other respects precisely the same as on the previous
evening.
The Queen retired shortly before ten o'clock to the
state saloon, where her Majesty and the ladies were
subsequently joined by Prince Albert and the remaining
guests.
The Distin Family, the well-known performers on the
Sax horns, had the honour to play a selection of their
favourite pieces to the royal circle. Miss Loder also
performed on the pianoforte in the presence of the
Queen.
At the conclusion of the first part of the programme
the Distins retired for a brief interval.
Her Majesty and the illustrious party then joined in a
" carpet dance," the Queen and the Earl of Arundel and
Surrey opening the quadrille with Prince Albert and
Lady Adelisa Howard, visa vis. The military band was
stationed in the corridor.
The royal party again commanded the attendance of
the Distin Family, when the remaining portion of the
programme was concluded.
A country dance then took place in the library ; the
dance comprising eleven couple. Her Majesty gave her
hand to the Duke of Norfolk, and Prince Albert danced
with Lady Mary Howard.
After partaking of refreshments in the corridor at
twelve o'clock, the festivities terminated by the retire-
ment of her Majesty and the Prince Consort to their
private apartments.
This morning the Duke of Wellington took his de-
parture for town shortly after nine o'clock, the Noble
and Gallant Duke proceeding on horseback to the rail-
way station at Littlehampton.
Lord and Lady John Russell left for the metropolis
previous to the departure of her Majesty, and Viscount
and Viscountess Palmerston closed their visit this after-
noon.
At half-past nine all was in preparation for the Queen
and Prince Albert departing for Osborne House. A
troop of the Arundel and Bramber Yeomanry Cavalry,
commanded by Captain Sir Dent Goring, Bart , with the
full band of the corps, mounted, entered the quadrangle,
and took up a position directly in front of the porch
which forms the principal entrance to the castle. Captain
John Abel Smith, M.P., Captain Evans, Lieutenant M.
T. Smith, Mr. Montefiore, Mr. Grey, Mr. Gratwicke,
and other officers of the regiment, were also present in
full uniform.
The royal carriage entered the court-yard a few
minutes before ten, and punctually at that hour the
Queen, attended by the Duke of Norfolk, followed by
Prince Albert and the Duchess of Norfolk, descended
from the staircase, and after taking a final leave of the
Duchess, her Majesty and the Prince Consort entered
the carriage, the band striking up the National Anthem.
A royal salute was fired from the artillery in the park
on the departure of the august visitors, and the royal
standard, which had floated from the keep, was lowered
as the royal carriage passed the precincts of the castle.
In the other royal carriage were the Marchioness of
Douro and the Hon. Miss Napier, lady in waiting and
maid of honour to the Queen, and the equerries in at-
tendance, Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. Charles B. Phipps
and Colonel Bouverie.

The Duke of Norfolk, on his illustrious visitors enter-
ing the royal carriage, mounted his horse to precede the
Queen as far as Chichester, and would afterwards ac-
company her Majesty to Portsmouth.
The Duke and Duchess of Bedford, the Duchess of
Sutherland, and Lady Caroline Leveson Gower, the
Marquis of Granby, the Earl and Countess of Elles-
mere, Viscount Morpeth, and Lord Brooke remain at
the Castle until to-morrow, when the party will se-
parate.

RETURN OF THE COURT TO OSBORNE HOUSE.
PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 4.—Her Majesty and Prince Al-
bert, attended by his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, the
Marchioness of Douro, the Hon. Miss Napier, Lieut.-
Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, and others of the royal
suite, and attendants, returned to Portsmouth, from
Arundel, this day at a quarter before one o'clock. The
Royal party travelled in three carriages, and were
escorted into the garrison by a detachment of the 12th
royal Lancers. Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir Hercules
Pakenham, K.C.8., and his aide-de-camp, met her Ma-
jesty about half a mile outside the Portsea fortifications,
and then led the escort into the dockyard. On her Ma-
jesty passing through Lion-gate, the royal standard was
hoisted. Her Majesty and the Prince and suite passed
to the King's stairs in the dockyard by the same route
as on Tuesday. Admiral Sir C. Ogle, Rear-Admiral Par-
ker, the captains and commanders of the ships in the port,
in full uniform; the officers of the Dockyard, the field
officers of the Engineers, Artillery, 2d and 13th Regi-
ments, and Royal Marines, were drawn up in attendance
at the King's stairs to receive her Majesty, and a guard
of honour, furnished by the Royal Marine Artil-
lery companies. The carriage in which her Majesty
and Prince Albert travelled was driven up close to
the passage leading to the stairs, and in two minutes her
Majesty, the Prince (having previously spoken to the
Admiral and General), and suite, were in the royal
barge, and the standard hoisted. The barge was steered
to the Fairy yacht by Captain the Right Hon. Lord A.
Fitzclarence, and the royal party stepped on board
cheered by the crews of the ships, and the numerous
spectators that were assembled in the dockyard. On the
royal standard being displayed, her Majesty's ships St.
Vincent, Victory, and Excellent fired royal salutes ; all
the ships in the harbour were dressed with flags. The
Fairy sipped the buoy rope at one o'clock, and in a few
minutes was out of harbour, cheered as she passed the
ships by their crews, who manned yards. At half-past
one o'clock the Fairy yacht was off Osborne Creek, the
tide admitting the royal party to land at that jetty.
The streets of Portsea, through which her Majesty
passed, and the dockyard were crowded with people,
who cordially welcomed her Majesty on her return ;
many houses were decorated with flags and evergreens,
and the approaches to the dockyard gates were kept
clear through the arrangements of the local police.
Her Majesty looked remarkably well. His Grace the
Duke of Norfolk having taken leave of her Majesty and
the Prince on the stepping into the royal barge, returned
immediately to Arundel Castle in one of the royal car-
riages, and the detachment of the 12th Lancers will go
back to Hounslow to-morrow.
