Elle Court.
THE most remarkable point in the official record of the Court gossip this week, is that Lord Melbourne's name is scarcely mentioned. On Sunday afternoon, he is reported to have walked oil Windsor Terrace with the Queen ; hut not a syllable is said of his whereabout on Mon- day, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Nevertheless, England's Prime Minister was at Windsor all the time; as we learn from the Iowa gossip of great men's doings, that despatches were forwarded to him there almost daily, and his return to London has not been men. tioned. Though his colleagues have transacted business "at Lord Melbourne's office," the Lord himself was not there.
The Queen, attended by Lady Lyttleton, and escorted by a party of Royal Horse Guards, visited the Princess Sophia at Kensington Palace, on Monday. Her Majesty has taken morning rides whenever the weather permitted. There is at present very little company at the Castle. The time for the departure of the Court to Brighton dues not seem to be positively fixed: both the 8th and the 13th instant are mentioned.
Queen Adelaide landed at Gibraltar on the 14th ultimo. She was received with royal salutes from the ships and garrison. Sir Alex- ander Woodford, Governor of Gibraltar, paid her Majesty devoted attention. After viewing all that was remarkable in the fortress and the neighbourhood, she reembarked on the 18th of October, for Malta.
