COCKS'S CELEBRATED READING
SAUCE, which is so highly esteemed with Fish, Game, Steaks,
-oups, Grills, Gravies, Hot and Cold Meats, and unrivalled for gene-
al use, is sold by the most respectable dealers in Ilsh and sauces.

prescribed kuncls silk-gin cords were placed at the
extremity lof each stand, and the intermediate
space kept open for the Princo and Princess was
covered with a handsome crimson carpet. A fine
c,dlection of red and white catnelias in full blossom
was arrang-A on the platform in front of the Royal
recepfon room, and over the door blazed a lum -
nous gas s•ar. One of the stages intended for spec-
tators was appropriated to the Eton boys, who mus-
tered upwards of 700 strong; and above their heads
appeared a tasteful display of banners and laurel-
'wreaths, together with a splendid device in gold
lamps, on which, in large and brilliant characters,
" Congratulatur Etonct, ' shone out conspicuously.
The second
.stage was occupied by hundreds of the
most distingnished ladies and gentlemen of the
neighbourhood. A place within the more privileged
enclosure was assigned to the Mayor and his col-
leagues in the magistracy, and in their itnmidiate
vicinity were Col. the Hon. Cecil Forrester, of the
Royal Horse Guards Blue, and several of his brother
officers. AAT nse concourse was also collected out-
side the station, anxious to catch the most transient
glimpse of the Ros al cortege.
Shortly after half-past 4 o'clOck a detachment of
the Scots Fusilier Guards' under the command of
Col. Paget, ,marched Tutu the station-yard to form
a guard of honour for the R yal party. At 10
minutes past b o'clock the tidings were circulated
That the Royal pair had just left: Paddington, and
the generals xpectancy momentarily increased. The
telegraph next announced that the train had passed
Slough at 5.36, and the excitement of the assem-
blage had reached its climax, when in six lariTf
minutes later the shrill sound of the engine driver's
whistle broke upon the ear. This was the signal for
a spontaneous outburst of enthusiastic cheers, the
shouts being caught up and renewed again and
again along a lengthened line of spnetatbTit
Ahaid' this; tumultuous din, during the whole of
which the tremendous hurrahs of the Eton boyi rang
out loud and clear, the special train drove slowly up
the platform. The youthful bridegroom instantly
alighted and gave his hand to his bride. The ap-
pearance of the Royal pair oa the platform elicited
redoubled manifestations of loyalty, and the
whole scene was indescribably heart-stirring and
affecting. The youthful and illusAious ohjects of
all t,iis enthusiasm appeared deeply moved at the
thorough heartiness of the welcome accorded them,
and testified their gratitude by repeatedly bowing
to the assembl ige. Having shaken hands and ex-
changed a few words of recognition with one or two
of th • principal personages on the platform, Prince
Frederick William led his youthful bride into the
Queen's reception room, through which they had
to pass in order to reach the carriage which stood
in waiting to convey them to the Castle. The
horses which brought this vehicle to the station—
two handsome grays—had been removed to make
way for the Eton boys, whose enthusiasm had im-
pelled them to solicit the honour of drawing the
Royal carriage through the town to its destination
—an offer which was graciously a cepted by its illus-
trious o,:cupints. Some twenty or thirty of these
fervid youths having yoked themselves in front of
the chariot, and a greater number lending their as-
sistance to propel it from behind, the cortege moved
off under the escort of the Fusi ier Guards, whose
fine band struck up the National Anthem. lts
route, which lay through the High-street and up
Castle-hill, was brilliantly illuminated, and along
tt ihteu detryiement voci-
a vast mul-
titude, who rent
theit waaq. accompanied
withtheir v
e
voci-
ferations. Arrived at the Castle, the Royal pair
took up their abode in the Lancaster Tower, where
an elegant suite of apartments had been specially
fitted up for their reception.
The townspe >pie celebrated the auspicious event
by a bill hen in the Town-hall, wh sh was
gorgeously illuminated for the occasion. The
poorer inhabitants, to the number of 1,800, were
also regaled with subAantial fa•e, and vocal and
instrumental music, in a tent specially ereLited for
the purpose ; and 2,000 poor children of the town
are to be gratified with a similar entertainment to-
morrow (Tuesday). A liberal subscription has beea
raised to defray the expense of these festivities.
