A Recent Visit TO Windsor.
BY FREDERIKA BREMER.

Will Queen Victoria drive out to-day we
euquired from some of the castle attendants.-
No one could say positively; the Queen had
gone out on horseback several times last week,
perhaps also to-day she might ride out IN the
afternoon.
We had already been two hours at Windsor
it was now past three in the afternoon, and as
we wished to reach home before dusk, and as we
saw no signs Of royal cavalcadc, for that day.
we reluctantly determined to wait no longer but
to set out on our homeward way. We went
down to the carriage which had drawn up below,
outside the iron gates, the nearest approach TO
the castle. Here we found about hundred
persons assemblhd mostly Of the lower class,
although we'll dressed, who appeared to be walt
ing for something that was to come from the
castle, towards which they looked up.
We had just taken our seats in the carriage
when we heard 1t said, "The Quern is coming"
So it was Queen Victoria with Prince Al
bert, aud their attendants came riding down,
from the castle, and on towards the iron gates
which opened for them. We drew up our car
rage in order to see the Qaeen as perfectly as
possible; and that was not difficult, for she
came on slowly and looked quietly around her.
She was dressed in black, closely fitting riding
habit black riding hat, wi hout veil or orna
;nen, and rode upon brown borsc. 10 the
left of the Queen rode Prince Albert; on her
right an elderly gentleman who looked like
German After the Queen, upon pony, rode
her eldest son, the young Prince Of Wales, no
one on either side after him came a state'y
lady vnd two gentlemen. with three servants fol-
having. All were dressed in black, all rode
upon brown horses. The whole cavalcaGe

Have we a Bourbon Among us ?

There has been in the papers, from time to
time. brief items stating that the Rev. Eleazer
Williams. missionary among the Indians at
Green Bay, Wisconsin, was the verltable Dau
pbin Charles LOUIS, son Of Louis XVI. and
Matle Antonelte, whose death by scroiula was
reported to have taken place in 1875, but con-
Corning whom, there have always been rumors
that he was still alive. The evidence produced
to show that the Rev. Mr. Williams is the son
OF Louis, is very remarkable. The chief point
in II rests upon the assertions Of Williams, him
sell, tnat the Prince de Joinvle when he visited
this country, had an interview whh hun and en-
deavored to obtain from him resignation OF the
crown of France in favor OF Louis Philippe
But there is other evidence strongly corroborntlng
tins, from other source. We give the summing
up of the evide nee by the author OF an article

New York)-in The February number of Put
nams Magazine, and nay, hereafter, quote th'
account OF the alleged interview between the
Prince and the clergyman.

The PROSPECTS OF THE CRoPs IN ENGLAND.
The London Mark Lane Express states that
under the combined inference of heat and mois-
ture, the various crops have improved in ap-
pearanee, and the reports from the agricultural
districts are already of a more cheerful charac-
ter; at the same time, the estimates of the prob
able result of the harvest are not by any means
sangune. The extreme shortness of the breadth
of land under wheat renders it very improbable
that the produce of that grain can, under al
most any circumstances, prove large, and the
period to which the sowing of spring corn was
unavoidably delayed, is certainly against an
early or productive year. Still, with an au-
spicious summer, the result might be better
than anticipated, and merchants having profit
r ed by past experience are not hkelyto be temp
ted into speculative investments on the chance
Of possible deficiency after harvest. Should
the foreign supplies fall off however, and the
consumption of bread continue as great as it
has hitherto been, the value of wheat would
probably improve even if nothing should occur
from now to harvest to give rise to apprehen-
sions as to the crops.
