BRIGHTON-SUNDAY.

The numerous workmen employed at the Pavilion are
engaged night and day in preparing it for the Royal
visitors, who purpose arriving on Wednesday next.
Yesterday Mr. Somers Clarke, the Vestry Clerk, re-
ceived the following letter from the Earl Delawarr:—
" Lord Chamberlain's Office, Feb. 4, 1842.
" Sir,—The Queen will arrive at Brighton on the 9th
inst., and although it is her Majesty's wish to enjoy as
much privacy as possible during her stay at the Pavilion,
she is unwilling to check any demonstration of public
feeling that the inhabitants may wish to show.-1 have
the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
.4DELAWARR, Lord Chamberlain."
" Somers Clarke, Esq., Brighton."
The High Constable, in consequence of the above
letter, has officially announced the day fixed for her
Majesty's arrival, and the arrangements for receiving
her Majesty
.and Prince Albert. The High Constable
invites the articular attention of her Majesty's loyal
subjects!at Brighton to the letter of the Lord Chamber-
lain, and in pursuance of the resolutions of the town
meeting, held on the 4th instant, informs the visiters and
inhabitants of Brighton, that it is intended to make the
following arrangements for the public reception of her
Most Gracious Majesty the Queen and Prince Albert:—
Banners will be placed at the streets leading into the
London-road from the Pavilion to the Hare and Hounds,
and all persons coining into the town from the northern
direction will find access by the Montpellier-road or
Rose-hill. No carriage or horsemen will be allowed
within the banners.

The Members for the borough and the public autho-
rities will assemble at the Northern entrance to the Pa-
vilon. The line from the Pavilion to the Hare and Hounds
will be kept by inhabitants, who will be distinguished by
white wands.

In the evening there will be a general illumination,
and a display of fire-works, by Jones, on the Steyne, in
honour of the auspicious event.
The public joy will be further demonstrated by a grand
ball at the Town-hall, on Thursday, the 10th inst., the
anniversary of her Majesty's marriage, to which the
gentry and inhabitants are invited.

The apartments prepared for the Duchess of Kent are
the same that were occupied by the Princess Augusta,
and are quite ready.
A detachment of the 2d Scot's Greys, under the com-
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Clarke, leave here to-mor-
row, to proceed to Cuckfield, in order to escort her
Majesty to Brighton on Wednesday.
From the preparations making it is expected the il-
luminations on the night of her Majesty's arrival will
be on a very grand scale.

The Right Hon. Sir James Wigram, Vice-
Chancellor, and M.P. for Leominster, is fifth son of Sir
Robert Wigram, Bart., formerly Member for Wexford,
and grandson of Margaret Loftus, sister to Viscount
Loftus, whose son was first Earl of Ely.
The celebrated match between Lord Maidstone
and the Hon. Mr. Villiers, for 200 sovereigns, which has been
o long delayed by the frost, comes off to-morrow, over the
Ashby-de-la-Zouch steeple chase course (shout four miles)
This match excites intense interest, from the known high eha-
racter of the horses. Mr. Villiers is slightly the favourite, but
the writer of this paragraph is of opinion that Lord Maidstone
will win.
