cipal apartment in the octagon or Brunswick
Tower is a breakfast room. From a corridor
branch off the various apartments intended for his
Majesty's visitors. It will take a considerable
time vet, however, before these apartments
are entirely or suitably completed. The
corridor itself exhibits even now a very
splendid appearance, and displays upon its sides
already some .10 or 50 of the best specimens of
Canaletti, besides -several family pictures by
Zolianv and Zuccarelli ; together with some
whole-length portraits of Nelson, St. Vincent,
Lord Moira, &c., by modern artists. Much of
space, however, still remains unoccupied upon
these walls, nor is it yet understood whether or
not his Majesty's small but splendid collection
of the DutCh and Flemish school, lately exhi-
bited at the British Gallery, will be placed here,
or whether their ultimate resting place is in-
tended to be the new 'Waterloo Gallery. His
Majesty's collection deposited here would add
,greatly to the interest of this splendid Palace,
for there is little doubt but that his Majesty's
condescension would allow the Gallery, as well
as the State apartments, to be viewed by the
public under proper regulations. The workmen
are at present chiefly employed in St. George's
Hall and the grand ball-room : the former is a
remarkably lofty and spacious building, inferior
only in the magnitude of its dimensions to
Westminster Hall itself. The grand ball-room
is entered at about its centre, and the spectator
walking up towards the great Gothic window by
which it is lighted is at once impressed with feel-
ings of awe and wonder as he surveys the dis-
tant country from this grand and lofty eminence.
The arrangements of the kitchens, confec-
tionary, and other culinary offices, are principally
situate in the north-cast angle, and are all of the
most complete and convenient description.
In none of the apartments of the Castle of
which we have spoken, are as yet to be seen the
means by which they arc to be lighted at night ;
but, besides the various other artiricial lights that
will of course belong to such rooms, it is under-
stood that they are to be lighted and ornamented
by splendid chandeliers suspended from the
ceilings, where, indeed, already may be seen
f.ixed the staples or loops for that purpose. The
ceilings themselves are of the most beautiful
stucco work, for the most part divided into com-
partments of white and gold.
Mr. Wyatville may indeed well rest his fame
upon these works ; for, without in the least
rftering the style and character of the original
building, he has so admirably adapted and ar-
ranged the whole, that it is equally replete with
convenience as it is with splendour.

ARRIVAL of the QUEEN of PORTUGAL.

Her Majesty arrived at Grillon's Hotel, Albe-
marle•street, shortly before seven o'clock yesterday
evening, having in her suite Sir William Fremantle,
the Treasurer of the King's Household, Lord Clin-
ton,one of his Majesty's Lords in Waiting-, appointed
to attend the Queen during her stay in this country,
the Marquess and Marchioness de Palmella, the Bra-
zilian Minister, and the Marquess de Barhacena, The
King's Guard, who were selected to serve as a guard
of honour to her Majesty, had not arrived at the time
her Majesty arrived, -but reached Albemarle-street
from their guard-chamber in the King's Palace, St.
James's, a few minutes afterwards, and were drawn
up in a line opposite the house. Soou after her
Majesty's arrival, the Marquess and Marchioness de
Palmella and the Brazilian Minister took their leave,
and returned to their respective residences.
In the course of the evening the youthful Queen
appeared at the balcony of one of the windows of the
drawing.room, and was enthusiastically cheered by
the assembled multitude.

(ANOTHER ACCOUNT.)
Yesterday morning, at a few minutes after eight
o'clock, her Majesty, the infant Queen, and suite
left Bath, escorted by a troop of yeomanry cavalry,
who accompanied tier us a guard .of honour for 12
miles; after which the cavalcade, consisting of four
coaches and four, and two chaises and pair, proceeded
at a rapid pace, without any other delay than that
occasioned by the changing of horses, until they
arrived at Newbery about one o'clock, where they
remained an hour, during which time her Majesty
and suite partook of refreshments, which were in
readiness, and proceeded on their route to London.
At half-past six o'clock her Majesty and suite
drove up to Grillon's Hotel, which was splendidly
fitted up for her reception ; and so great was the
concourse of persons who were collected in antici-
pation of her arrival, that it was with considerable
difficulty her Majesty could be removed in the arms
of one of her distinguished attendants from the car-
riage. In about a quarter of an hour afterwards a
guard of honour arrived in front of the hotel, but
too late to perform any other duty than that of
placing two sentinels at the door; previous to which
the Marquis Palmella, who accompanied her Ma-
jesty from Bath, was unable to proceed to his car-
riage ; but just as lie was entering it, the young
Queen, in compliance with the repeated calls of the
assembled multitude, amongst whom were many re-
spectably dressed persons, appeared in one of the
balconies, and bowed repeatedly in the most affable
manner, which was acknowledged by immense
cheering, clapping of hands, and waving of hats.
At twenty minutes after seven her Majesty left
the drawing-room, leaning on the arm of Lord
Clinton, preceded by the Marquis Barbacena, and fol-
lowed by Sir William Fremantle and suite, and
went down the grand stairs to the dining-room,
where covers were laid fur twelve persons. Lord
Clinton sat on her Majesty's right, and one of her
Maids of Honour on her left; Sir William Fre-
mantle and several others of her Majesty's suite also
had the honour of sitting at the Royal table, one
being laid in an adjoining room for the pages, &c.
Her Majesty is tery fair, and rather tall for her
age ; she wore a brown cloth dress, with two rows
of buttons down the front in the form of a riding-
, habit ; she likewise wore a cap fully trimmed with
lace, which was tied under the chin. She partook
of very little at dinner, and about half-past eight
o'clock retired to the drawing-room, where she had
some coffee, and immediately after went to-bed, ap-
parently'very much fatigued.
Up to ten o'clock numbers of persons continued
in front of the hotel, and, much to their shame, kept
!up a constant uproar for the Queen to re-appear. It
is to be regretted police officers were not also placed
in the street, as they would certainly have done
more than merely keeping a clear passage to the
hall-door.

THEATRICAL CRITICISM.—The following
morceau (which, by the way, is written upon paper which
has a strong odour of usquebaugh and peat reek) has been
sent us through the twopenny post. We conclude that we
are hound to insert it:—" Mr. ANGUS MACGREGOR,
through the medium of the Morning Journal, presents his
compliments to Mr. CoorEa, of Drury-lane, and will feel
exceedingly
obliged if Mr. CoorEß will do him the favour
to promise never again to perform the pia of Rob Rog.
Mr. Mac:GREGOR bas no desire to hurt the feelings of Mr.
CoorEß, who, he doubts not, is a pretty man enough in
his own sassenach way, but he cannot resist apprisim,,
Mr. CoorEß that, in case he should again threaten to per-
form the part, he, Mr. MAcc RECOR, will not he answer-
able for the consequences, conceiving that, according to
highland practice, he has as clear a right to murder the
actor as the actor has to murder the character of one of
his countrymen.—Scotch Wharf, Wapping, October 5,
