ale Court.
TAR King and Queen, accompanied by Prince George of Cambridge and the Earl and Countess Howe, went on Saturday to Bagshot Park, dine with the Duke and Dutchess of Gloucester. A party from the Castle, consisting of Sir Philip Sydney, Colonel Seymour, Sir F. Watson, and Miss Hope Johnstone, joined their Majesties at dinner.
On Monday, their Majesties took a ride to Kew ; where they re. mained some time. It is said that the King intends to reside there oc- casionally : he has ordered a range of stabling to be built for fifty horses.
His Majesty left Windsor on Wednesday for St. James's Palace, where he arrived about one o'clock. He soon afterwards held a Court; at which Prince Soutzo, Minister on a special mission from the King of Greece, was introduced by Lord Palmerston, and had the honour of an audience. In the course of the afternoon, the King gave audiences to the Hanoverian Minister, Lord Althorp, Lord Hill, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, and Mr. Stanley; and returned in the evening to Windsor, attended by Sir Herbert Taylor.
On Thursday, the King inspected the Cadets at the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. The Queen accompanied his Majesty.
Preparations are going forward for a grand state dinner, to be given in the Waterloo Gallery on Monday next, to upwards of eighty of the nobility and gentry. This will be the last state dinner at Windsor this season. Their Majesties' departure for Brighton is now fixed for Saturday the 26th.—Morning Post.
The orders for getting ready the apartments of the Dutchess of Kent and Princess Victoria, at Kensington, were countermanded last Saturday. Their Royal Highnesses will probably remain a fortnight longer in the country, and spend a short time at Claremont before they return to Kensington for the winter.
Prince George of Cambridge is expected to leave town next week, on a visit to his father in Hanover. He will probably be absent three months.
The Duke and Dutchess of Cumberland have determined not to visit Paris on their way to Berlin. Their Royal Highnesses are ac- companied by the Marquis of Douro, eldest son of the Duke of Wel- lington, and General Slade.
