THE QUEEN'S 'PROGRESS TO WINDSOR.
_ .

KENSINGTON.—The birthplace of her Majesty was, yester-
day, one scene of bustle and animation. At daybreak the
morning was ushered in by a merry peal from the bells of the
Old Church, on the steeple of which .a large Union Jack,
decorated with white favours, was hoisted. The decoration,
with laurels, myrtle, and other evergreens, of the splendid
triumphal arch, which was, on Saturday, erected at the en-
trance of the town, was also proceeded with, and by ten
o'clock it presented a most beautiful and splendid appear..
ance. On the summit was placed a large Imperial Crown,
supported by the royal arms in burnished brass, having un-
derneath a large white rosette, circled by a wreath of roses.
On either side were the initialletters of her Majesty and her
illustrious consort, each supported by a large rosette, and
around the arch were suspended festoons of laurel, &c., de-
corated with white favours. At each end were flags, on which
were inscribed " Britons rejoice,"' and " God bless them."
Other flags were also exhibited. Flags were displayed from
nearly every house-: some testimony of loyalty was exhibited
from all.
About 11 o'clock a large number of persons, most of them
wearing white' favours and rosettes, assembled in front of
Kensington Palace, for the purpOse of witnessing the de-
parture of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex to attend
the royal nuptials. At half-past .11 a troop, of life guards ar-
rived to escort his royal highness, who entered his carriage at
15 minutes to 12
o'clock, when he was greeted by the most
deafening cheers. His royal highness looked remarkably
well, and was dressed in a field officer's uniform, wearing his
collars and orders, and was accompanied by one of his equer-
ries.

At half-past one o'clock the children of the parochial, na-
tional, and Sunday schools, sat down to a substantial dinner
of roast beef and plum-pudding, which was provided for them
in the large rooms of the national schools. The entertain-
ment was attended by the venerable Archdeacon Pott (the
vicar,) the Rev. H. Penny, and a large number of the sub-
scribers to the fund for the purpose to which her Majesty
had kindly forwarded £4O, the Dunhess of Kent £2O, the
Duke of Sussex £5, and-the Princess Sophia £5. The school-
rooms were most tastefully decorated with evergreens and
flags, bearing appropriate devices, and the recipients appeared
highly delighted with their treat. The children of the infant
schools had Also a supply of cake and oranges provided for
them.
