THE history of the Court is not very eventful this week. On Saturday, the Queen, accompanied by the Princess Royal, and attended by a small suite, left town for Claremont, in two carriages and four, with an escort of Horse Guards. Prince Albert went to the annual dinner of the Royal Academy, and drove down to Claremont at night. On Monday, the Prince came to town, and attended a rehearsal of the Ancient Concert at the Hanover Square Rooms; and, after calling at Buckingham Palaces went back to Claremont. The whole family-party returned to town on Tuesday.
Her Majesty gave an audience, yesterday, to the Judge-Advocate- General.
On Wednesday, Prince Albert gave a grand dinner to his brother Directors of the Ancient Concerts, at Buckingham Palace, and then repaired with them to fulfil his duties for the evening. The Queen, numerously attended, was present at the concert. Yesterday, Prince Albert presided at a meeting of the Fine Arts Commission; and visited the London Library, in Pall Mall ; of which he is patron.
The Queen and Prince Albert visited the Queen Dowager on Thursday. Queen Adelaide is convalescent. The bulletin of Saturday was the last, and it stated that the arm was slowly recovering from the attack of erisypelas. Her Majesty drove out on Monday, in an open harouche; and on Tuesday visited the Dutchess of Gloucester.
The Dutchess of Gloucester is "going on very well." Her Royal Highness took a carriage airing on Thursday. The Dutchess has re* ceived frequent visits from the Duke of Cambridge.
