Cbe Cuurt.

THE chronicle of the Court this week is little else than a record of dinner-parties. The company at the Palace is not numerous, but select. The Queen confines her invitations almost entirely to the Whigs ; the Duke of Wellington being the only Tory whose name is given among the guests at the Royal table. The other distinguished persons honoured with her Majesty's invitations are Lord Brougham, Lord Byron, the Duke and Dutchess of Somerset, the Earl of Rehester, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl and Countess of Mulgrave, the Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde, Lord John Russell, and Lord Melbourne of course.

On Thursday evening, the Queen, attended by the Dutchess of Sutherland, Lady 13arham, and Colonel Cavendish, went to the Opera Buffo.
