TEO T•ou r t.

THE Court has conformed to the universal practice in the great world, and left town for the Easter holy days.

On Wednesday, at half-past three o'clock, the Queen and Prince Albert took their departure front Buckiagham Palace, for Windsor Castle, in a carriage and four, with outriders in scarlet liveries, escorted by a party of the First Regiment of Life Guards, and followed by four more carriages and four, conveying the infant Princess Royal and the Royal suite. The party arrived at Windsor at a quarter past five. The little Princess was held up to the carriage-window to receive the welcomes of the good folks of Windsor ; which she did at first with ones, but the Royal countenance was more gracious before the Castle was reached.

The Queen resumed her pony-phaeton rides on Thursday, accom- panied by Prince Albert on horseback.

The Princess Royal, in the language of the Court Circular, " was taken out an airing" yesterday, for the first time.

The Dutchess of Kent left Ingestre House and joined the party at Windsor on Wednesday.

On Wednesday morning also, at a little after ten o'clock, the Queen Dowager, attended by her suite. set out from Marlborough House for the London and Birmingham Railway Station at Euston Square, pro- ceeding in a special train to Sudbury. Hall.

Prince George of Cambridge departed for Dublin on Thursday.

We have every reason to believe that it is the intention of her Majesty, and her illustrious consort his Royal Highness Prince Albert, to visit several of the principal provincial districts during the ensuing summer ; and the intimation we had last week the satisfaction of giving with respect to the expected arrival of the Queen's hounds in the New Forest, has been followed up by the assurance we have received from well-informed circles, that arrangements are making in Lyndhurst and its neighbourhood for the reception of the Royal party, with a numerous suite of distinguished personages.—Salisbury Herald.

Last week, the Council of the Zoological Society made a present to the Queen of four fine Barbary doves, which have for some time been at the menagerie The birds are distinguished by a corona' round the neck. Both at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle the Queen possesses a well-stocked aviary of British and exotic birds.

On Thursday, the usual distribution of the Royal Maundy Bounty took place at Whitehall. The recipients of each sex were tweuty-two, the number of years that the Queen has lived ; and they received 1/. and twenty-two silver pennies ; besides 11. 15s. to each woman, as com- position for the old clothing which used to be given, and 1/. 10s. in lieu of provisions which once formed part of the bounty. On Monday and Tuesday, the Royal Minor Alms were distributed to upwards of 900 persons, who received five shillings each ; and also the Royal Gate Charity of thirteen shillings each to 168 persons, all above the age of sixty years, except in a few cases of a special nature, such as blindness and great affliction.

Except the bare fact that the suspected thief has surrendered, little new has transpired respecting the robbery at Windsor Castle. This person, Richard Lovegrove, who had decamped, returned to Windsor on Monday. He first went to the residence of his brother, and thence to the Castle, where he surrendered himself to the authorities. It is said that he has made some extraordinary disclosures. The Lord Chamber- lain was immediately sent for from London, and he arrived in Windsor in the afternoon. He held a consultation with Mr. Saunders the Inspector of Palaces, Mr. Banister the Mayor, and Mr. Blunt, one of the borough Magistrates. They were closeted together fur more than an hour. What took place did not transpire.

The Lord Chamberlain, attended by Mr. Vizard, the Crown Solicitor, and aided by the Mayor and Mr. Blunt, pursued the investigation on Tuesday ; when the prisoner and two or three witnesses were examined. Reporters were excluded ; but from the hint or two which has escaped respecting the evidence, nothing of importance was elicited. It is understood that the investigation will be resumed today.

The following list of some of the stolen property has been furnished to the Metropolitan Police from the Lord Chamberlain's office— "1. The whole of the silver from the top and frame, and also the legs of a silver table.

"2. Four ornamental cornices (studded with silver devices); also the (silver) crowns and two (silver) figures, from a glass frame. 3. The ornamental head of a glass frame, composed of silver plate, embossed with foliage, surmounted with a (silver) crown. "4. Two silver cupids from a glass frame; also the (silver) crown surmount- ing the frame. 5. A pair of silver fire-dogs (very .massive.) " 6. A pair of silver fire-dogs 29 inches high, with figures of Diana and another on the tops; the base formed of mermaids, cupids, &c. (This pair of fire-dogs is likwise extremely massive.) "7. A pair of (silver) candelabra."

Several things have been found packed up, as if for removal by the thief.
