Viz Court.

THE history of the Court is destitute of incident. The Queen, weather permitting, has taken her usual daily walks with Prince Albert.

The Prince went out shooting near Virginia Water on Saturday ; to Cranbourne Tower on Wednesday ; and hunted with the harriers on Thursday. The visitors at the Castle have been Viscount Canning, Captain Sey- mour, Sir Henry Wheatley, and the Earl of Lincoln.

The Dutchess of Cambridge rode over from Kew to visit the Dutchess of Gloucester on Monday ; the Duke of Cambridge did so on Tuesday and Thursday. Prince George of Cambridge arrived at Kew, from Leeds, on Sunday ; he returned to Leeds yesterday.

The Times contradicts a paragraph which has appeared in the papers intimating that the Dutchess of Kent would hold the drawing-rooms during the approaching season, in order that the season might not be abridged by the Queen's confinement.
