Tilt QUEEN OF PORTUGAL.

At three-quarters past one yesterday the Queen
of Portugal set bUt from Lord Lncan's house for the
Castle at Windsor. She was dressed in a superb
,tObeof lace, haying the portrait of her father, set in
' beautiful diamonds, and all the decorations of the
Portuguese and Brazilian orders. Her Majesty and
Suite passed through the town exactly at two.
The King has seen no company for several days;
hot has he for the last fortnight taken his customary
airings. Hitherto his Majesty's removal from the
!I/elusions of Windsor Forest into the heart, as it
*ere, of this town, does not appear to have wrought
a corresponding change in his mode of life. The
Castle does not as yet present any of those exter-
"l indications which denote the abode of Royalty,
e%cepting en state occasions ; but preserves its usual
40mbre, uninhabited aspect, 'with masons and car-
Pantere at work in every direction. The King sees
and is seen by no one, and has not been outside the
Castle gates since he fast took up his abode within
theni so that bet for the rejoicings of the trades-
People, arid the occasional meetings of the Cabinetoentils at the Castle, a poison might exist some
time here without suspecting it to be the chosen seat
of Royalty.
