1 IHE QUEEN has been at Windsor having , however , _ this week paid a brief visit to London . On Monday , the Prince and Princess of Wales left Sandringham iu order to pay their promised visit to the Duke and Duchess of Manchester . All along tho route the demonstrations of
loyalty were of the heartiest character . At Huntingdon , great preparations were made to welcome them . No less than five triumphal arches were erected , the station gaily decorated in tho usual fashion , and a guard of honour of
the Duke of Manchester ' s Volunteer Light Cavalry was drawn up , while tho other volunteer bodies in the neighbourhood were present under arms in considerable strength . On tho Eoyal cortege emerging from the railway station ,
the crowd were somewhat too demonstrative , following up the carriages in great numbers , and very closely . Having lunched at the Earl of Sandwich ' s residence , Hinchinbrook , the party continued their journey to Kimbolton Castle ,
which was reached about half-past o ' clock . Tuesday was devoted to hunting , their Eoyal Highnesses being greatly favoured in respect of the weather . The meet took place in a meadow not far from the Pertenhall cross-roads . Several good runs were obtained , and one old fox was run

into the park , and lost his brush close to tho Castle ; after which the guests adjourned to luncheon . On Wednesday , after inspecting the Duke ' s farm , and tho splendid herd of shorthorns which his Grace is forming , the Prince and party were present at a large meet of the Fitzwilliani
hounds , about four miles off , at Catsworth Gnidepost , Mr . Charles Fitzwilliam , Master of the Hunt , and all the leading patrons of sport in the neighbourhood being present , Capital sport was obtained . On Thusday , a grand ball was given in honour of tho Royal visit , and proved a great
success . Yesterday , it was arranged , should be devoted to hunting with the Cambridgeshire hounds . In short , tho visit has been one round of princely hospitality , and the
noble owner of Kimbolton , who , as our readers are doubtless aware , is Provincial Grand Master of Northamptonshire and Hunts , must have been highly gratified at tbe honour paid him by their Royal Highnesses .
Though the weather has latterly been less stormy and the waters Lave subsided to a great extent in many parts of the country , and notably in the valley of the Thames , thousands of acres are still inundated . The Prince of
Wales in his journey to Kimbolton fwm Sandringham passed through an immense tract of country , which had all the appearance of a lake . Indeed , even in tbe neighbourhood of Windsor , where there has been a subsidence of the waters , the country all round is more like a marsh , and
orders have been issued postponing the return of the boys to Eton , till the 24 th instant . The work of collecting money for the relief of the sufferers is going on bravely , and up to Wednesday the amount received by the Mansion House Committee had reached the very respectable total of
£ 7 , 200 . Local Committees have also been formed for administering relief , and though all that is lost may not be made good , we doubt not the funds raised will go a long way towards compensating the sufferers . But though the calamitous floods have abated , it is still necessary to adopt
precautionary measures , especially near the Thames , as a succession of high tides is expected at the end of the month . The work of raising the river wall to prevent the overflow of water is being prosecuted , therefore , with great vigour , especially in the neighbourhood of Nine Elms .
On Tuesday , the opening of the new hall of Balliol College , Oxford was commemorated by a grand banquet , at which were present some two hundred and fifty past and present members of the College , together with several distinguished guests , among them being the Archbishop of
Canterbury , the Bishop of London , the Dean of Westminster , Viscount Cardwell , Lord Coleridge , the Marquis of Lansdowne , the Earls of Donoughmore and Jersey , and the Right Hon . S . Cave , M . P . A succession of toasts of
the usual character was given , that of " Prosperity to Balliol College , " which was proposed by his Grace of Canterbury , being received with enthusiasm , and very happily responded to by the learned Master of the College , Mr . Jowett .
Bro . Clabon presided at the Quarterly General Court of the Boys' School , held on Monday . Twelve vacancies were declared for the next election iu April , the number of candidates being fifty-nine . A pension of £ 120 per annum was granted to the Collector of the School , who retires
after a long service of twenty years . Bro . Snow ' s proposition to erect extra buildings for the accommodation of fifty additional boys was withdrawn , the whole question of increased accommodation being referred to the House Committee , for their report to the General Committee , and
through the latter to the Quarterly Committee . We shall have occasion to refer to this subject at greater length on some future occasion . Mr . James Weir , a gentleman engaged in literary pursuits , and having Chambers at 50 Lincoln ' s Inn Fields , is
apparently not very partial to the music of chamber organs , afc all events not when the instrument is played in a suite of chambers immediately beneath him . It seems , how . ever , that he will have to endure the nuisance , unless Mr . Sanderson Corpe , the owner of the objectionable
instrument , will abstain from playing it when Mr . Weir is fulfilling his literary duties . Such , in fact , will be the effect of tho ruling of the Judge of the Westminster County Court , to whom Mr . Weir made application on Tuesday for an injunction to restrain Mr . Corpe from this
organ performance . Evidence was adduced by the plaintiff to the effect that this organ was a great annoyance , not only to Mr . Weir himself , but to occupants of other chambers in the same house , and that when it was played the vibration was very great . Tho instrument was described as 13 feet high , 10 feet wide , and 4 feet or 5 feet in depth ,
