THE ROYAL GEORGE YACHT.

- _
This beautiful model of a man-of-war vessel is
undergoing a complete renovation, and a number of
hands are employed, without intermission, to have her
finished for the reception of her Majesty. Dr. Reid,
the inventor of the most approved mode of ventilation,
was on board yesterday and to-day, personally super-
intending the laying of pipes for the free ventilation of
the vessel. The Royal bed has been removed to Lon-
don, and a new one, expressly made for her Majesty,
will be substituted. The interior of the state cabin is
superb, beautifully carved in the more prominent
parts, and richly gilt, having. a most pleasing effect.
It is lighted by five windows in the stern and two on
each side of smaller dimensions, of the finest plate-
glass. Round the whole of the interior are placed
ottomans and sofas the latter convertible into beds,
and by richly gilt rods, appearing at first as
supports for picture-frames, curtains of the most
graceful drapery are made to surround them. Near
the stern windows is a beautiful brass stove of a most
elegant pattern, in the form of a handsome covered
vase, the smoke descending behind the grate, and
finding egress at some distant part of the vessel. The
recesses are neatly fitted with shelves for bookcases.
The floor is covered with rich Brussels carpet of a
very chaste pattern, and in the centre stands a splen-
didly-finished round mahogany
.table. The Royal
bed-room is in keeping with the rich appearance of the
state cabin, the floor covered with the same Brussels
carpet, and 'very light 'and 'airy in its form, and in
every respect adapted for the comfort of her Majesty
during the voyage. It is entered from the
right of the state cabin by a spacious door, in
character with the dimensions of all the other
parts of this model of elegant ship-building. The
dining-room is also very handsome, but not so
highly ornamented as the other cabin, and conveys
an idea of the comforts which a small select
party of Royal and noble guests could enjoy while
gliding along on the surface of the seas that surround
our beloved island. The panels of the doors of the
State cabin are fitted with mirrors ; but her Majesty's
excellent taste and judgment appears to dislike them,
and they have been ordered to be covered, so that the
privacy of tbe.state,.eabin preserved, and not
have every movement of the forms of the occupants
presented to the eye in all, quarters. The deck of the
vessel is kept beautiful and clean, and being filled in
the seams with a white yet permanently hard compo-
sition; will not soil the most delicate shoe. At pre-
sent, while the work of renovation is going. on, the
deck is covered with canvass. The binnacle compass
is covered in in the form of a lantern, and surmounted
by a Royal crown. On the exterior of the stern is a
beautifully carved Royal arms, richly gilt; and alto-
gether the Royal George yacht is a vessel of which
we have reason to be proud ; and it is to be hoped her
Majesty will be so delighted with her voyage as to
order this fine pleasure vessel to be kept at Woolwich
for her Majesty's use.
