THE KING.—His Majesty and the Queen arrived, as had been
ex- pected, at the Brighton Pavilion r,it Saturday afternoon. Prince George of Cambridge accompanied his Royal uncle and aunt, and the Duke .of Sussex preceded the party. The King rode out On Monday, and the Queen indulged in her favourite exercise of riding on the same day. The drives and rides of the Royal Family have been repeated during the week whenever the weather invited them. The marriage of Miss Fitz- clarence with Lord Falkland, which was to have been celebrated to-day, is put off till Monday. It Is hardly necessary to add our sincere wishes of a merry Christmas to the kingly owners and lordly guests of the. Pavi- lion, when so many of the elements of happiness combine to render it merry.

same troubles. .
