In the early morning and at intervals throughout the day the bells of St . George's Chapel and St .

His Royal ' Highness ' s birthday was also kept at Bagshot
Mansion , where the Duke and Duchess are at present residing , and in the afternoon the Queen and Princess Beatrice visited their Royal Highnesses , driving from Windsor Castle down the Long * Walk and through the Great Park en route . Her Majesty returning to the palace in the evening . Prince Arthur William Patrick Albert was born the ist May , 1 S 50 , and on the iSth of March iS 79 , marricd Princess Louise Margaret , daughter of Prince Frederick Charles of Prusia . On
Satui day some cattle from Zululand , presented to thc Queen by Sir Garnet Wolscley , arrived at Windsor by the Great Western Railway . They are handsome specimens of oxen , but exceedingly " small . " On their arrival at Windsor they werh taken to Prince Consort ' s Shaw Farm . The animals were in charge of some of thc Army Service Corps . STREET FIRE ALARMS . —On Thursday , the 30 th ult ., in Ludgate-hill and other streets in the City , and in
Blackfriars-road and other south Metropolitan thoroughfares , the first of the new street " lire alarms" were erected under thc supervision of the Metropolitan Board of Works . The "fire alarm" consists of an iron column , about a foot in circumference , not quite so high as a pillar letter-box , and surmounted by a circular box which will contain an electric apparatus . The column is placed , after tbe manner of tbe pillar letter-boxes , in tbe pavement of
the foot-way , painted red , and quite as conspicuous as the street letter-boxes . Convenient places , especially points most remote from a Fire Brigade station , will be selected for the erection of the " fire alarms , " on which are displayed these words on the iron rim round the circular dial of the box . The key of the latter will be always in tbe possession of the police-constable on duty , and , on the breaking out of a fire , he can , by opening the dial , and
handling the instrument within it in a certain way , communicate instantaneously with the nearest fire-station , indicating the street in which the outbreak of fire has occurred . This excellent arrangement will obviate the necessity of running off to the station , and , what is of the utmost importance in cases of lire , enable the firemen to have their engines at the place indicated almost immediately after the discovery of thc fire .
