THEIR Majesties had a full dress party on Monday evening, at the Brighton Palace, in celebration of the birth-day of the Princess Augusta. Among the principal guests were—the Earls of Clarendon, and Brownlow, Lords Maynard, Wharncliffe, and Cranstoun, the Bishop of Chichester, Sir George Grey, Sir William Ingilby, the Marchioness Cornwallis, Lady Brougham, Lady Jane Peel, and Lady Wharncliffe.
Whenever the weather is fine, the King and Queen and the Princess Augusta take advantage of it to ride and drive in the vicinity of Brighton. Lady Mary Fox or Lady Adelaide Hay seem to be the King's usual companions in his favourite drive to Shoreham. On Thursday, Lord Melbourne arrived from town, and remained till Friday afternoon, after having been closeted with his Majesty during the greater part of the time. There were frequent messengers des- patched to and from London while Lord Melbourne WM at the Palace.
