Tlionost still quiet, Windsor Castle has been somewhat more enlivened by company this week, and company of an interesting kind : the affianced pair, as they are understood to he, the Princess Augusta and the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg.-Strelitz, went to the castle on Tuesday, to remain for a visit to the Queen, with the Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary. Select dinner- parties, on a somewhat more magnificent scale than usual, have en- tertained the Royal guests. The Dutchess of Kent joined the circle; and Sir Robert Peel, who arrived at the Castle on Monday, was of the party till Thursday, when he returned to London.
• The Dutchess of Cambridge accompanied the Princess Augusta and the Grand Duke to visit the Dutchess of Kent, at Frogmore on Wednesday.
• The Queen has walked a good deal this week. - Prince Albert rode with the Duke of Cambridge to Swinley Lodge, on Wednesday, attended by the Marquis of Exeter, Sir Robert Peel, and the Hon. Charles Augustus Murray ; and the party enjoyed the sport of shooting. On Thursday, the Prince and the Grand Duke hunted with the harriers in the Great Park.
The Royal guests, the Cambridge family and the Prince of Mecklen- luirg-Strelitz, left the Castle yesterday morning for Kew.
It is now understood to be settled that the Court will leave Windsor fbr Brighton on the 8th of November.
An important epoch has just arrived in the life of the Heir-apparent : his Royal Highness has just been weaned ; and, we are happy to add, has borne the deprivation well.—Globe, Oct. 28.
The Queen received, on Thursday, "a splendid hind-quarter of wild cattle beef," a present from Mr. Legh, of Lyne Park in Cheshire ; the breed being peculiar to Mr. Legh's estate.
