be Court.

ON Thursday afternoon, Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg, accompanied by his elder brother the hereditary Prince, arrived off the Tower, in the steam-ship Antwerp. Two of the Queen's carriages were in wait- ing, and the two Princes were conveyed first to Buckingham Palace, and then, after a short delay, to Windsor Castle. Prince Albert's visit will be taken as confirmation of a current report that he is to be the Queen's husband.

Her Majesty continues to enjoy, apparently, excellent health. She rides and walks as much as usual, with members of the household and -visiters at the Castle.

Queen Adelaide went to Windsor on Monday, and returned to Bushy Park on Wednesday. Lord Melbourne remains at the Castle, and Lord Palmerston spends most of his time there. The Marquis of Nor- manby left town on a visit to the Queen on Thursday afternoon.
