HER MAJESTY AT STOWE.
STOWE, THURSDAY AFTERNOON.—ShortIy after her
Majesty had arrived at Stowe yesterday afternoon, and
while the tenantry and labourers were still in front of
the mansion, her Majesty took the arm of the Duke of
Buckingham, and walked along the colonnade. The
Duchess of Buckingham took the arm of Prince Albert.
It is almost unnecessary to say that the royal party were
cheered in the most enthusiastic manner by the people.
Both her Majesty and the Prince repeatedly bowed to
them. and they repeatedly expressed their extreme gra-
tification at the warm and affectionate greeting they
met with from the tenantry of their noble host. Indeed,
of the whole of the reception given them in Buckingham
and its neighbourhood, it may fairly be said that it has
not been surpassed in loyalty and magnificence in any
part of the kingdom yet visited by her Majesty.
The dinner party last night consisted of her Majesty,
Prince Albert, the Duke and Duchess of Buckingham,
the Marquis of Chandos, Lady Anne Grenville, Lord
and Lady Jersey, Lady C. Villiers, Lord and Lady De-
lawarr, Lady Mary West, Lord and Lady Orkney, Lord
and Lady Southampton, the Marquis of Breadalbane,
Sir Thomas Aubrey, Sir Robert and Lady Peel, the
Earl of Aberdeen, Sir James Graham, Mr. and Mrs.
Roberts, Lord and Lady Nugent, the Marchioness of
Douro, Miss Kerr, Colonel Bouverie, General Wemyss,
Dr. Buckland, Captain Carrington, the Rev. Mr. An-
drews, Mr. Anson, and Mr. Smith.
Iler Majesty and the Prince sat at the centre of the
table, the Duchess of Buckingham at the right of the
Prince, and the Duke of Buckingham on the left of her
Majesty.
A large sideboard at one end of the dining-hall was
covered with massive gold plate, and one at the opposite
end could scarcely be seen under the silver plate with
which it was loaded. The table service was also of gold,
and in the centre stood a large and elegant piece of gold
plate, with carved figures, illustrative of the pursuits of
agriculture. This was a present to the Duke from the
people of the county. This piece of plate is called the
Chandos testimonial. In the room there is also a piece
of silver plate, executed in the most exquisite style for
spirit and animation, representing the death of Sir Gren-
ville Temple, an ancestor of the family, in the civil wars.
It represents him engaged (on horseback) with four foot-
soldiers.

The band of the Life Guards played during dinner,
and also in the evening.
In the course of the evening her Majesty and the
Prince, and the guests generally, passed through the
principal apartments of the mansion, which, as the
many persons who have visited Stowe are aware, are
crowded with objects of the most interesting character.
The pictures, particularly, are some of the finest and
most valuable in this or any other country. Too much
praise could scarcely be bestowed upon the fittings-up
and internal decorations of the mansion, which are cha-
racterised by the utmost elegance and splendour.
Her Majesty expressed her admiration in very strong
terms. Stowe is certainly distinguished from many
other mansions of the nobility which are visited by the
public for the richness of their contents, in the air of
comfort which prevails amidst all the splendour. It
ooks less like what is commonly called a " show place "
than many of them, and more like a residence.
The weather has been decidedly favourable through-
out the day. Her Majesty and the Prince rose so early
as half-past seven o'clock, and breakfasted alone. The
royal party attended Divine service precisely at nine.
Tho Rev. Mr. Andrews officiated, and read a portion of
the morning service of the Established Church. Her
Majesty and her Royal Consort occupied the gallery
above, while the nobility and attendants were arranged
below. Mr. Rowell, from Buckingham, presided at the
organ, and Mr. Smith, the librarian, officiated as clerk.
At about half-past ten the Prince, accompanied by the
Duke of Buckinghatn, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Jersey, the
Marquis of Chandos, Lord Orkney, Colonel Bouverie,
Captain Carrington, 4ord Delawarr, and Mr. Anson,
repaired to a battue which took place at Gurnsey-hill, and
Paper-mill Spinny preserves near the mansion, which ,
had been rigidly kept this season for the amusement of
his Royal Highness, should he, as was fully expected,
honour Stowe with his presence. Beaters, to the number
of about fifty, under the command of an experienced
hand, hand, were made to enter at the extreme end

abundant opportunities for displaying his skill werq

that the beaters received the word of command they'
marched forward, keeping so close together, side by
side, that their sticks might have touched. A regu-
lar running fire" instantly commenced upon the
devoted hares. Out they rushed from every quarter-1
so many that it was often impossible to " stop" more
than one out of half-a-dozen. The ground immediately
in front of the shooters became strewn with dead and dying ; within a semi-circle of about sixty yards from
his Royal Highness the havock was evidently greatest.'
The gun was no sooner to his shoulder than the animal was dead. In other cases wounded hares vainly endea-4,
voured to limp away, but every provision had been made
to avoid the infliction of prolonged torture. Keeper I
were in readiness to follow up and kill such as were
maimed.
It was curious to behold the evident reluctance with!
