Her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Court, and the

The weather proving unfavourable, has prevented
the Royal Family leaving the Castle to-day.
Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to give her
approbation and sanction to the publication of a series
of views of the interior and exterior of Windsor
Castle, from drawings made expressly for her Ma-
jesty by Mr. Joseph Nash, in which will be repre-
sented the banquets, entertainments, and various
scenes of interest that occurred during the visits of

Saxony, and the King of the French, Mr. Nash
having been in constant attendance during the royal
visits, by her Majesty's command.

spection of his new model, representing an earlier
period of the battle of Waterloo, and which is now

Royal Highness remained a considerable time ex-
amining the details of this ingenious work, and was
pleased to express to Captain Siborne, in the most
flattering terms, the great gratification which the visit
had afforded him.

The Queen and Prince Albert left Buckingham
Palace at a quarter-past one o'clock on Saturday

HER MAJESTY AND PRINCE
ALBERT'S VISIT TO STOWE.

It had been announced that her Majesty would
leave Windsor Castle, to honour his Grace with a
visit at Stowe, on Tuesday, the 7th of January. An
alteration, however, has since taken place in the ar-
rangements which had been partly determined upon ;
and we have now the highest authority for stating
that her Majesty will arrive at the seat of the Duke
of Buckingham on Wednesday, the 15th proximo,
where the Court will remain until the following
Friday or Saturday.
FIREWORKS.—A grand display of fireworks will
take place at Buckingham on the evening of the 15th,
in honour of the Queen's arrival.
TEIUMPIIAL ARCllES.—Arrangements are being
made for the erection of no less than from six to
eight triumphal arches in the immediate vicinity of
the town. Splendid triumphal arches will also be
erected in the line of route between the county town
and the residence of the Noble Duke. Batteries,
consisting of field-pieces, will likewise be erected to
give her Majesty a right loyal reception upon her
entrance into Buckingham and along the road to Stowe.
ILLUMINATIONS AT STOWE HOUSE.—The whole of
the north front of his Grace's splendid residence will
be brilliantly illuminated with a profusion of va-
riegated lamps, under the superintendence of Messrs.
Reinke and Co., of London.—Observer.
The visit of her Majesty and Prince Albert to
Stowe, the mansion of the Duke of Buckingham, is
fixed for the 15th of January. The following week the
royal party will honour the Duke of Wellington with
their presence. It is not yet known whether the royal
guests will journey by railroad as far as Wolverton,
or whether they will travel the entire route in their
own equipages along the high-road to Buckingham.
There will be a general illumination in Aylesbury on

the joyous occasion. The Bucks Hussars, which his
Grace the Duke of Buckingham commands, a corps
of 400 " yeomen bold," will act as guard of honour.
His Grace's tenantry will assemble at Stowe to meet
her Majesty. There will also be 600 picked men
from the Duke's estates assisting on the occasion;
each will be clad in a white frock, and will have a
white wand in his hand. Should her Majesty arrive
after daylight, each man will bear a lighted flambeau.
The welcome, in fine, will be on the most splendid
scale.—Bucks Herald.
