THE records of the Court newsman show that "the season"
has fairly commenced both for business and pleasure.
At a Privy Council, on Saturday, fully attended, a proclamation by the Queen was ordered to be issued, prohibiting the exportation of munitions of war and machinery available for war. On Wednesday, her Majesty held the first levee of the season in St. James's Palace. It was attended by a very large proportion of military men. The Queen and Prince Albert have visited the Zoological Gardens, and the studios of Mr. Foley and Sir George Hayter. They have been thrice at theatres—the Princess's and the Lyceum : the children accom- panied them to the Princess's.

He has also visited the Crystal Palace at Sydenham. Among the visitors at Buckingham Palace, have been the Duke and Duchess d'Aumale and the Princess of Salerno.
