REJOICINGS AT WINDSOR.

Extensive preparations are in progress for a general
illumination throughout the town on the evening of the
christening. Numerous flags, banners, and
.other appro-
priate devices will be displayed by the inhabitants during
the day, which will be one of universal rejoicing and
festivity.
A grand dinner will take place at 5 o'clock in the
Townhall (the Mayor in the chair), for which upwards
of 100 tickets have been issued. The stewards, 22, com-
prise several of the Magistrates, Aldermen, and Mem-
bers of the Town Council, and other of the principal in-
habitants.

In order that the humbler classes should be enabled
to rejoice upon this festive occasion, 1,000 families will
be supplied on the day preceding with meat, bread, tea,
coffee, and ale, in the average proportion to each of 61b.
of meat, 3 half-quartern loaves, 2s. in tea and coffee,
and 6 pints of ale. This expense will be defrayed by the
gracious donation of her Majesty of 3201.
The subscriptions of the inhabitants, amounting to
nearly 2501. more, will be distributed to the same number
of families in coals, the whole being under the direction
of a Committee appointed at a public meeting of the
inhabitants. The persons who will thus be benefited
amount to upwards of 4,000.
The supply of the benevolenCes of her Majesty is to
be entirely confided to the Royal tradesmen in the town,
viz., four butchers, two bakers, three grocers, and one
brewer. This arrangement (of which her Majesty
doubtlessly knows nothing) has naturally created great
discontent in the minds of other Windsor tradesmen in
the same lines, who consider that, upon a public occasion
of this nature, such favours should be fairly and equally
divided amongst the whole. It is so with the donations
of coals, paid for out of the town subscriptions, the
several coal-merchants each supplying a portion.
On the Thursday following the christening there will
be a public ball in the Town-hall to celebrate the event.
Ralph Neville, Esq., M.P., the Mayor, Capt. Bulkeley,
Ist Life Guards, and 20 of the most influential inhabit-
ants, officiating as stewards.
On the next evening a grand vocal and instrumental
concert will take place in the Theatre Royal, in aid of
the Building Fund of the Windsor and Eton Literary
and Scientific Institution (patrons, their Royal High-
nesses Prince Albert and the Duke of Cambridge, the
High Steward of the Borough), conducted by Dr. G. J.
Elvey. Amongst the numerous vocalists engaged are
Miss Rainsforth, Mr. Wilson, Mr. W. Harrison, and Mr.
J. Parry. The orchestra will consist of upwards of 70
performers, comprising the bands of the Royal Horse
Guards and the 72d Highlanders, who will execute the
whole of the music commanded to be played in St.
George's Hall during the banquet on the evening of the
christening, and selected by his Royal Highness Prince
Albert.

A battery will be constructed in the Bachelor's-acre,
upon which will be mounted the ordnance of the Cor-
poration, and Royal salutes will be fired during "the
great, the important day."

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT
AND ‘, ITS PRACTITIONERS."
Within the lastlfew days the qualifications of some of
the "practitioners' of the Insolvent Debtors' Court have
been before the public, in the investigation of a person
before Mr. Commissioner Bowen, who had " acted" in
several cases to bring the insolvents before the Court,
The subject has been under consideration for many years.
and rules have been adopted by the Court to prevent the
business of " agents," which was formerly carried on to
a great extent. Some years ago it was a very common
occurrence for several " clerks' to answer for an attorney
as the cases were called on, and it was feared that they
in fact employed the attorney on the schedules, giving
a certain " fee" for using his name. A short time ago
it was elicited that a " clerk" who had acted in cases
which had been sadly neglected, had been an auctioneer
and a tailor. He had taken the benefit of the Act, and
was remanded for " eight months." The Commissioner
told him he was a most improper person to interfere in
the cases of insolvents, and ordered no more papers to
be received in the office from the same individual. On
the following day the Commissioner said he had before
him " four" schedules of the same person. The Court
investigated the conduct of the attorney, who declared
that he was the actual party, and had sot lent his name.
The Court eventually ordered him to complete the ne-
glected cases, telling him his future position in this
Court depended on the manner in which he conducted
himself. The " clerk" was dismissed from the Court,
and the attorneys were warned against employing him.
He was told that if it had been proved he had acted in the
name of the attorney he would have been sent to Newgatei

INTENDED REVIEW AT WINDSOR ON
.111

ARRIVAL OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA.
The three troops of. the Royal Horse Artillery lial.„e", -
the command of Colonel Dyneley, C. 8., will march from
Woolwich to-morrow for Windsor. On the first night
they will be billetted at Kingston, and on the secontl,,6t
,
Staines or its neighbourhood, to be in readiness on W
day of the christening, when their services will be re::
quired. One of the troops is a rocket troop, and the niel:
have been actively employed in making preparations f°`‘Tt
a grand display during their stay at Windsor.
The orders issued for the' Life Guards to hold theni. s
selves in readiness to attend the King of Prussia frost!
Greenwich to Wandsworth, where they will be relieve°
by the 11th Light Dragoons (Prince Albert's own
sars), and be by them escorted to Windsor, still retool'
uncountermanded ; and that is the present fixed route bf
which his Majesty the King of Prussia will proceed Wl'
mediately after landing at. Greenwich.
During the dense fog which prevailed on Wednesd%
morning, the Firebrand steam-vessel, in Aoing dtv
the river, came in contact with 'another large stee—i
vessel, and by the collision the Firebrand lost part
her figure-head. The Shearwater steam-vessel, one e'
the vessels composing the squadron, ran aground durini. ,
the fog in Northfleet-hope, and the Firebrand
Lightning steam-vessels had to remain there until the
Monkey arrived from Woolwich to assist in towing the
Shearwater off. The Monkey returned to Woolwich tir,';
day, and the others proceeded to Ostend. It is non
scarcely possible the King of Prussia can arrive in 0'
country before Saturday. It is expected theßoyal Pali'
I
will at once embark in the steam-vessels, and that tallay
will return without waiting for the company of the 4.".!1
ing vessels, and that the latter, after firing a Royal. 't'
lute in the British Channel, will return to their resPef.o
tire posts, owing to the unfavourable season of the Yomtli

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Rhadamanthus steam frigate and troop-sni
Master Commander Thomas Laen, left Woolwich
Monday afternoon for the Mediterranean. Captain DO;
lop anti 11 gunners and drivers, to complete the company
of the Royal Artillery at Corfu, embarked at the doe*"
yard here for a passage to their destination. Fifteef
women and about as many children, the wives and fans'
lies of the men of the Royal Artillery stationed at corfno
obtained a passage in the Rhadamanthus. Mawr
Vicars's company of the Royal Sappers and Miners, nea
the charge of Lieutenant Ford of the Royal Engineer*
embarked at the same time ; and it is a circtnstant.
worthy of record to show the steadiness of the c?.rPi;
' that not one single man of the company was absent from
the barracks on the previous evening after the usual
hour. Sixteen women and about thirty children, the
wives and families of the men of the company,vow
panied them on board for a passage to Corfu, where the!
are to be stationed. Three very respectable-lookil
females cried bitterly on being refused a passage 'with
their husbands, on its being ascertained, that althonk:
they might have been legally married, their husbah„,d.
had not asked the consent of their commanding ofiiee_L
an excellent regulation in the army to prevent the pv;
sibility of any soldier marrying twice or oftener, whif
might be the case if there were not a check of this nr
scription.
The Prince Regent, transport-:ship, has been at Dept,
ford for some time receiving stores on board, and II
ordered to drop down to moorings opposite the Boy„

early part of next week for Bermuda :—Major Moles'

Prince Regent transport, consisting of 90 effective met"
under the command of Captain Fenwick, Royal Eng.,i-
neers ; Lieutenant Jenkin and second Lieutenant GOP
of the Royal Engineers, have also been ordered to VII):
