SOME anxiety, mingled with ,pleasant anticipation, was created on Monday evening by the report that the Great Officers of State, always summoned to be near the Queen at her accouclunent, had received -intimation, on :Sunday evening, that their-attendance might be demanded in a few hours. The Court newsman, however, has made no refcronee to the incident, and -perhaps it was founded on a loyal excess of expectation in the journal which exclusively described it. Her Majesty drove out as usual, and walked in the gardens of the Palace, on Monday ; she has taken carriage exercise each day Mime ; and she maternally presided on Thursday over a party of the young friends of her children, invited to celebrate the seventh birth- day of her second daughter, Princess Alice.
Thursday was also the seventy-fourth birthday of the Dutchess of Gloucester. The Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and Princess Alice, went to congratulate her, and to institute pretty comparisons of ages on the coincident birthdays. The Duke of Cambridge honoured the Countess •of -Jersey with his company on Wednesday evening. The Queen of the Belgians and the Dutchess of Orleans arrived at Dover on Thursday. The Dutchess of Orleans with her sins, the Count of Paris and the Duke of Chartres, and the Queen of the Belgians, have joined the circle of Louis Philippe at Claremont.
