COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

HER MAJESTY'S MARINE PALACE IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT.—
Osborne House will soon become but a wing. The new buildings
are proceeding rap;dly, and are already up to the ground floor; the
new part will to appearance be about 80 feet square, with a large cir-
cular window fronting the east, and a terrace round the whole. Her
Majesty purposes attending Whippingham Church,and the pews are
to be immediately fitted up for her. The greater part of Barton has
been pulled down ; it was intended to repair and embellish it, and
workmen had'been some time employed on it for that purpose, when
the walls were found so weak that they were condemned, and the
new and old work all taken down ; the new buildings here are to
be in character with the old.
Moorings were yesterday laid down off Cowes for the royal
yacht. The former visits of her Majesty being only for short
periods, the steamers let go their anchors, but they have now re-
gular moorings, and everything appears as if royalty was about to
make this its permanent residence. Yet this town was never
before so dull at this season of the year, nor was there ever so
many of the lodging-houses unoccupied.
The meeting of the members of the Royal Yacht Squadron House
here on the 11th instant is expected to be more numerous than at
any similar meeting. There are several candidates to be balloted
for ; the noblemen and gentlemen elect their members by ballot,
but will not allow Members of Parliament to be elected so.
