Qumr Vic-roma, accompanied by the Prince Consort, Prince Alfred, the Princess Alice, and Prince Louis of Hesse, visited the Prince of Wales at Oxford, on Wednesday, took luncheon at Frewin Hall, the residence of the Prince, went over the Colleges and Museums, and re- turned to Windsor Castle in the evening. On Monday, her Majesty visited the Smithfield Cattle Show, and afterwards called on the Empress of the French at Claridge's Hotel. The Queen and Prince Consort have ridden out on horseback several times ; and the Prince Consort, accom- panied by Prince Alfred, Prince Louis of Hesse, and Sir Charles Wood. Her Majesty gave audience to Count Apponyi, Ambassador from the Court of Vienna, when he presented his credentials. The list of guests at Windsor Castle includes the names of Prince Louie of Hesse, the Belgian Minister and Madame Van de Weyer, Sir Charles Wood, Mr. Frederick Peel, Mr. Henry George Elliott, Captain Denman, Lord Clarence Paget, and Dr. Philpott. The marriage of the Princess Alice with Prince Louis of Hesse Darm- stadt, at one time denied as premature, at another as baseless, ie at last completed so far as the negotiations are concerned. The happy event, as we trust it will prove to be, will take place in the spring.
