Ibr Court.
THE King held a council at Brighton on Monday afternoon ; which was attended by Lord Melbourne, Lord Palmerston, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord John Russell, Lord Minto, Mr. Poulett Thomson, the Marquis of Conyngham, and Lord Albemarle. The Council sat only for about half an hour. The Ministers dined with his Majesty ; whose behaviour is said to have been unusually courteous. The next day, another Council was held, attended by the same Ministers, and in addition by Lord Denman ; when the Recorder made his report of the prisoners under condemnation in Newgate.
The severity of the cold has prevented their Majesties from taking their usual exercise in the open air this week. The apartments of the Dutchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria in Kensington Palace are ordered to be in readiness for their reception on the 13th of January.
