Witinsou, WEDNESDA T.—The Queen arrived at the
Castle yesterday afternoon, at half-past six o'clock. Her
Majesty came in an open carriage, and was accompanied by
her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and the Mar-
chioness of Normanby (lady in waiting).
lu the two other carriages which followed that of her Ma-
jesty were Lady Gardiner (lady of the bed-chamber), the
Hon. Misses Pitt and Murray (maids of honour), Baroness
Lehzen, Lady Mary Stopford, Lord Torrington (lord in
waiting), Major Keppel, Hon. Mr. Murray, Hon. Colonel
Cavendish.

The Royal party proceeded to the Castle by the lodge op-
posite to the Long Walk, but we have authority to state that
it was the Queen's intention to have passed through the
town; and it was owing to a mistake that the officer com-
manding the escort conducted her Majesty by this entrance.
The Earl of Albemarle arrived at the Castle shortly be-
fore her Majesty.
The principal inhabitants of the town illuminated their
houses in honour of her Majesty's arrival.
To-day the Queen did not ride out.

het attendants, walked on the terrace and in the slopes.

WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—Her Royal Highness the Princess
Augusta, attended by Miss Wynyard, came to the Castle to-
day from Froginore Lodge, to pay a visit to her Majesty.
The weather having been unfavourable during the day has
prevented the Queen leaving the Castle.
