A ROYAL GIFT.-It will be remembered by those
who have recently visited Windsor that among the many
improvements now in progress in that favoured town is the
formation of a new road to Datchat intersecting a portion of
the Park on the north side of the Castle, which road, in
connexion with a bridge crossing the Thames near Black-
pots, now nearly completed, will considerably shorten the
distance from Windsor to that pretty village; between this
road and the Thames there are nearly 10) acres of the
Home-park, the whole of which has just been given up by
her Majesty for the sports and recreation of the inhabitants
of Windsor. This important event was celebrated on Friday
last by a grand cricket-match between the new-formed
Home-park Club" and the officers in garrison here, which
fur:Waged in favour of the former, and a dinner of the in-
hanitants took 0644 tia, eyeatho,
