The Countess of Burlington has succeeded the Marebioness of Lansdowne as Chief Lady of the Bedchamber to the Queen. This change, the Ministerial papers declare, was made in pursuance of an arrangement determined upon some time ago. Neverths less, there was considerable reluctance to promulgate the fact. ft was first mentioned in the Spectator, on Saturday last ; but, for res, sons easily guessed at, the Downing Street papers did not notice it for some days, and then only when taunted by the Tories on the sub, ject. Notwithstanding the assertions of these veracious gentlemen, as have reason to believe that there was a little bit of " tiff" at Court on the resignation of the President of the Council's Lady.
The good people of Kensington have been quite charmed with are.
port that the Queen will occasionally reside at Kensington Palace; of which she has doubtless some pleasant recollections, and where it may
turn out that the happiest days of her life were passed. The loyalty of the Kensington shopkeepers, however, has nothing sentimental m it. Prospect of increased custom, bills at the Palace, and the gayety which the court of a youthful Sovereign would give to an otherwise dull village, cause their "satisfaction."
