THE KING.
_....-

WINDSOR; JULY 6.—This morning his MAJESTY went
from his Lodge in the Park, in an open carriage, to the
Royal Castle, to meet Mr. WyArr, the architect, to in-
spect his plans for the alterations and improvements
about to be made on the spot. It was owing to the con-
stant attention which the ICING paid to the alterations
which have lately been made at the Lodge that caused
them to be executed and finished with so much promp-
titude. His Mikassry is expected to pay similar atten-
tions to the works as they proceed at the Royal Castle.
