CHRISTMAS week presents little that is new in the record of the Court newsman. The Queen has walked out nearly every day. With Prince Albert and the children, she attended divine service in the private chapel on Monday.

Baron von Usedom, the Prussian envoy, was presented to the Queen on Wednesday. The list of guests at the Castle has included the Duke of Newcastle, Sir James Graham, Lord Canning, the Baron and Baroness von Usedom, the Earl of Clarendon, and the Marquis of Breadalbane.
