Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by the Princess Beatrice, left London on the 23th March for Italy, where she will resile for some time. The Villa Clara — situated between Baveno and Stresa — which has been put at the Queen's disposal by Mr. Charles Henfrey, has undergone in some respects almost a renovation. It was furnished sumptuously enough before, one would have been tempted to think, but the host of such a guest did not think so, and all the resources of artist, of decorator, and of upholsterer have been alike taxed, and ceilings, walls, and floors have put on a braver show of designs, hangings, aud carpets respectively.
