WINDSOR CASTLE.

/ A late London letter in the Boston
Times gives the following description o.
of a portion of Windsor Castle -
The Queens Private Apartments, so
called, and those Of the royal house hold,
next visited. They are situated on the
east and south Of the Castle. The state
apartments are on the north side, and the
Round Tower is on the west side. The
Queens private entrance TO The Castle is
under a structure projecting about thirty
feet from the main building into the court
yard. Directly over the portIco IS the
Queens breakfast room, which contains
three very large windows locking into
the court yard the Queen is frequently
seen standing at one of these windows,
while large number of persons stop IN
the passage leading by the bronze statue
Of Charles the II, D., to obtain a glimpse OF
her. Her Majesty and the Court had
left the Castle for London but short time
before passed through the private apart

room after another but | was struck with

and stately magnlfCence which relgned

with splendid paintings by the most omin-

most sumptuous and elegant kind, and

A REMARKABLE DREAM.
so gratlhed

A singular story OF the salvation oil the
life Of young lady, who was on the verge
of the grave, through the instrumental
ty Of dream, is told by the st. Louis
Pennant, and with such reservations OF
its truth, that, despite the odor of im-
probability which surrounds it, we cannot
believe it to be intended for humbug.--
The scene Of the occurrence was one oil
the western cities of Mississippi, where a
young physician after exhausIIng his skill
and perseverance for the recovery OF a
young lady in imminent peril, called in
the aid Of a professional brother OF ma
ture age and greater experience. No BEN
eft, however, resulted 10 the fair patient
from their united labors and after every
effort had been resorted TO which the
combined wisdom Of the two physicians
could suggest, the case was given up as
hopeless. 1t was formally announced to
the inflicted family that the sutferlngs OF
the patient would end in death before
morning and it being late and the night
stormy, the two physicians were prevail
ed upon 10 take lodgings in the house I'M
til morning. Weary and disheartened,
they soon fell asleep; but in a few min
utes our young practitioner awoke from
strange dream. He had no sooner closed
his eyes in slumber than he dreamed he
had given the patient dose Of certain
medicine, the name of which we have for
gotten, which had Immediately arrested
the vomiting, and the patient had fallen
into sweet sleep, attended with very ia
yorable symptoms Of convalescence. He
reused his companion and told him his
dream. The other, however, treated it
with lghtness, and turning over, imme-
diately commenced snoring. Again the
other slept also, and again the same dream
identical in every particular, visited
him. This time he awoke his compan-
ion and seriously demanded that the med
icine thus pointed out should be tried
His request met with nothing but a sheer,
and suggestion that he had better get
up and try it himself Again both slept,
and again the same dream came upon the
young man and he awoke with feeling
almost OF awe creeping over him.
Rising quietly and dressing without dis
turbing his companion, he entered the
sick chamber and beheld the poor girl,
her eyeballs starting from her head, her
face Of purple hue, still vomiting vlo'
lentIy. 1t was evident she could not live
an hour. Selling brief pause in the

A touching and beautiful incident.-We
know not when we have perused more
touching and beautiful story than the fol-
lowing from the Hartford Courant:
1t was but yesterday that triend--a
young gentleman of fine intellect, OF a
noble heart, and one we'll known to many
of our readers-was suddenly snatched by
the hand of death from all the endear-
ments of life Surrounded by every thing
that could make existence pleasant and
happy-a wife that idolized him-the
summons came, and he lay npon the bed
of death But few short years ago, she
10 whom he was welded, placed a bridal
ring upon his finger, upon the inside OF
which he had few words privately en-
craven. The husband would never per"
nit the giver to read them, telling her
the day would come when her wish should
be gratifed, and she should know the Sc.
cret. Seven years glided away, and a
day or two since, when conscious that ne
must soon leave his wife forever, he CALI
ed her to his bed side, and with his dying
accents told her that the hour had at last
come when she should see the words up
on the ring she had given him. The
Young mother took it from his cold finger
and, though heart-stricken with grief, ca
perIy read the words" | have loved thee
on earth-I will meet thee in heaven"

LIBERTY, ONLY THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER sO3lsn

The Queens private terrace and the
beautiful flower garden, on the east side
oil the castle, Are only open to the public
on Saturdays'and Sundays Of each week :
Then iashionably dressed persons inns
prove the opportunity Of walking on this
terrace and in the garden and not unlre-
quentIy the Queen and Prince Albert walk
with the crowd as if they belonged to the
ordinary classes of society chatting and
laughing tie while, TO the grea. delight
OF every one.
The flower garden is laid out under
the direction Of George the Fourth, who
improved the Castle and grounds, at
a great expenditure Of John Bulls money.
The garden contains several bronze and
marble statues, two finely carved vases,
and in the centre is beautiful fountain.
A very large orangery has been construc-
ed beneath part Of the private terrace
The total len 9Th Of the errace walk from
the entrance gate Of the south terrace TO
the west Of the north terrace, is said to
be little less than one thousand yards, and
it forms one Of the finest promenades
have ever seen when thrown entirely o.
pen, and commands one Of the most exten-
sive, interesting and charming prospects
in the world
The parks aud lodges near the castle
are very beauti full, and deserve a length
ed descrlp tlon.
Eton College is situated in the town Of
Elton, but short walk from Windsor
Castle. The Thames divides Elton from
Windsor, and here it is very lovely as it
winds onward, bearing on its surface MA
NJ a beautiful swan. The total numbel
Of scholars now at Elton is said TO be a,
bout six hundred.
Several rooms Of Elton College are in a
worse state than any country school
house | ever saw. The sleeping rooms
are very filthy and contain very little fur
niture, and that is of the meanest charac
ter the bedSteads are chiefly square
troughs with the coarsest kind Of bedding
The common pine tables are deiaced by
the knives Of The mischievous Etonlans
and the few chairs mostly broken, and un.
fit for use, The school rooms are very
plain, containing ordinary pine forms and
these have been hacked in every possible
manner by the scholars, from the foun'
dation OF the college. Initials have beer
cut upon them in every part and many
probably carved by boys half century
ago, who are now distinguished men anC
who would be doubtless ashamed Of thes
actions Of their youthful days. Ever.
