Account of the Great Fire Mt Windsor Castle.
[From the London Times, March u.
On Saturday night, March 10TH few hours after the
arrival of the Royal Family at Wind Castle alarm
ing suddenly broke out in their private apartments
which are situated IN me prince o. waiess aow a
den and slopes which familiar to the daily readers
of the Court Circular. On its ground Dor stood the
ment and here Majesty and the Prince dined alone
Saturday their custom on the day OF their arrival
at the castle.
They had concluded their repast and retired to ad
joining apartment when dense volumes of smoke sud
denly appred The domestics that fire had originated
behind the woodwork Of the dining room. Every
ton to extngush it, but We regret to that
the efforts made not successful until considerable
destruction Of property bad taken place We are glad to
be enabled to state that her Majesty has not suffered
from This alarming Occurrence and that her wonted self
possession under circumstances SO trying did not for
moment forsake her.
|. would appear thabe damage done has been extern
sive for from the fire Originating behind the wainscot
ing and spreading thus from apartment to apartment it
found impossible to eAtinguish it until an immense
body Of water had been expended The Prince Of Waless
Tower is completely Quilted the roof being destroy
ed and the flames pene rated into portions of the Bruins
wick Tower, which adjoins, doing much injury there
also.
The apartments which have chiefly suffered are about
dozen bedrooms and the gothic dining room.
The whole Of the valuable furniture of the Red Draw
ing room, which placed in great jeopardy
fully removed by the soldiers and the Lord
men, and little mage is done it, with the exception
of the breaking of Of the glass Of the magnificent
chandelier The plate rooms are situated Immediately
underneath where the fire raging, but it not
considered necessary to remove any portion OF the plate
as the rooms were made hreproof 1t did not appear,
however, that they waterproof, from the quantity
which poured into them from the ceiling.
In very few minutes after the alarm first given
the tuseer Guards seven hundred strong had doubled
mand of Colonel Williams, followed with their barrack
engine. The soldiers behaved manfully mounting
the roof of the tower owing the furniture with
the utmost from the apartments contiguous to the
grafton while Others using their utmost
tions at the engines
AT about II the fire was its height when nearly all
the following engines had arrived the North terrace
and were the tower from various directions
The Windsor Castle the Windsor Parish, Messrs. Jen
nings, Hevlles, Red's the Infantry barracks, the
Cavalry barracks the Eon and the Slough An express
also despatched from the Castle to the London Fire
Brigade, which arrived with powerful engines under
the superintendence of Mr. Rradwnod at two o'clock IN
About this time the FIRE partially got under but
not totally exDgushed before four O'Clock Fortu.
nately there plentiful supply of water from the
Crapbourne tank which had only been laid on to this
part OF the caste in the autumn of last year or in ell
probability the whole OF the castle would have been
down. The frost intense during the night as
derahy to retard the acton OF the engines while
doubt favored the action Of the flames They appear
have spread with great rapidly and force and to have
resisted for al unusual time the immense volumes Of
ter thrown uron them
The fire is said to have originated from furnace fue
situated at the basement at thePrncs Of Waless Tower
for the purpose of heating the air which warns the
Gothic dining room and many other apartments in this
tower. No estimate has yet, of course been formed
OF the loss which will fall chiefly the Lord Cham
berlans department The most praiseworthy zeal
was exhibited by all engaged in exngushng the flames;
and with two exceptions Of slight injuries, no one
appears to have been seriously hurt The preserya-
ton OF the castle from the imminent danger
which threatened it, is naturally of special
thankfuness to the Inhabitants Of Windsor; but it
will be heard with loyal satisfaction throughout the
country in every part Of which the destruction of the
greatest Of royal residences would have received
national calamity. His Royal Hehness Prince AL
bert was present until the last also the Hon.
Colonel Grey, the Hon Colonel Biddulph and the Hon
Colonel Phipps. The Queen and the royal family who
had retired to their private apartments at the southeast
part Of the castle remained there the whole of the night
The royal family remained at the castle and were visited
by her royal highness the Duchess Of Kent who came
from her residence at Frogmore early nine O'Clock
yesterday.
