THE KING AND QUEEN.—Their Majesties have passed a week of

more than usual gayety. About one o'clock on Monday, they arrived at St. James's from Windsor, for the purpose of visiting Covent Garden Theatre. The preparations for their reception were of the most splendid description. " The staircase," says the chronicler of the Court, " was illuminated by an or-mozslu (we use the Court spelling as well as phraseology) chandelier, and also by lamps on marble stands. Two Life Guardsmen were stationed at the door of the Saloon, dressed as Cuirassiers ; over the door was the Royal arms. In the centre of the Saloon was a superb or-moulu lustre, furnished by Mr. Brookes. Two state chairs of white and gold, and twelve others of a similar descrip. tion, were arranged in the Saloon. The Royal arms, gilt, were over the window. The ante-room was fitted up with flutings of amber and white, with draperies of crimson damask. There were several ottomans of crimson damask trimmed with gold-coloured silk lace corre- sponding with the draperies. The Royal box was fitted up in a similar splendid style as when their Majesties honoured this theatre a short time ago with their presence. There were two state chairs for the King and Queen, and two small chairs for the juvenile Princes of Cum- berland and Cambridge." The juveniles had dined with their Majesties on the occasion. Previous to the King and Queen's arrival, some zealous partisan of Lord John Russell's bill hung out a placard, containing something about "Patriot King," and " Reform ;" but it was soon re- moved by the police of the theatre. Their Majesties arrived at seven o'clock ; and were received, as they have always been, with an enthu. siastic welcome. The theatre was extremely crowded; but the doors were not beset at so early an hour as on the last occasion of a Royal visit. The candidates for admission did not assemble in force until half- past five, and in a short time after the crowd had began to thicken the doors were thrown open. The Royal party sat the whole of the per formances out, and seemingly enjoyed the whole, but more especially Cinderella with very lively zest. On their arrival and departure, they were loudly cheered, by a great number who stood straining their eyes, even at the noon of night, to catch a passing glimpse of Royalty. The sounds of " Reform " mingled harmoniously with the glad acclamations shouted in King 'William's praise.

On Wednesday, the King held a levee. At one o'clock, the Lord Mayor arrived in his state coach, accompanied by a number of members of the Corporation, for the purpose of presenting the City address. The Lord Mayor's procession consisted in all of about a hundred and thirty individuals. The address was received, according to custom and right, by the King on the throne. The address was read by the Recorder. It expressed in very strong terms the gratification of the Corporation at the introduction of the Reform Bill, and tendered the warm thanks of the City of London to his Majesty for his paternal care in selecting a Cabi- net by whom so beneficial a measure had been introduced into Parliament. His Majesty's answer, we were informed on Monday, would be of the most atisfactory kind to the friends of Reform. On constitutional principles, the King could not allude to a measure still in progress in Parliament ; but without directly alluding to the Bill, the answer spoke- plainly enough the wishes of his Majesty for its success. It was as fol- lows— return you my warmest thanks for this dutiful and loyal address. I receive with the most lively satisfaction the assurances of your loyalty and attachment to my person, together with the declaration that the confidence which I repose in my present Ministers is also felt by the citizens of this great and wealthy metropolis. You may rest assured that I shall always consider the measures which may be proposed to me, either in my executive or legislative capacity, with reference only to their tendency to maintain the honour and dignity or my crown, to support the true principles of the constitution, and to promote the union and happiness of my people."

An address from the Livery, to the same purport, was also presented to his Majesty, and very graciously received. The following presentations took place at the levee.

In the evening, the King and Queen honoured the Marquis of Lon- donderry with their presence, for the purpose of standing sponsors to his Lordship's infant daughter. The preparations at the Marquis's splendid mansion were not unbecoming the rank of the royal guests. The exte- rior of the house was brilliantly illuminated in coloured lamps, with a large cushion crown, and the name of the child, " Adelaide," beneath. So says the Court newsman : we should have been inclined to pay a better compliment to the Marquis, than to detract from his loyalty even in favour of his parental affection. We would rather say the name was that of the sponsor Queen than of the unchristened babe. The Queen arrived at Holderness House about seven o'clock ; the King did not arrive until ten. The baptismal ceremony was performed by the Arch- bishop of York. The infant was christened Adelaide. The royal visi- ters retired between twelve and one.

On Thursday, the Queen held her second Drawing-room. Several addresses were presented on the occasion ; and among others, one from the ministers of the German Protestant Churches, and one from the Royal Society, headed by the Duke of Sussex as President. Her Ma- jesty soon after took her station in the state-room in front of the throne, and on the left of the King; where, after the usual reception of the dis- tinguished parties who possess the right of entrée, the following ladies had the honour to be introduced.

We have already expressed our lack of knowledge touching those wonderful improvements hi the rude and simple covering which'served to veil the fallen beauties of our general mother, and by which the taste and ingenuity of her daughters have, as woman can always contrive to do, converted weakness into strength and defect into perfection. We shall not, therefore, venture to speak of the garments of the ladies who passed in review before her Majesty on Thursday, ill other than general terms. They were very line, very striking, and did honour to their wearers and their makers,—principally, of course, to the latter ; for it is, we believe, generally acknowledged, that it is more difficult to make a petticoat than to put it on. We give the dresses of the Royal Family.

The Queen—A handsome white and silver brocaded dress of Spitaltields mannfac- tore, elegantly trimmed with it rich silver embroidered wreath and bullion fringe ; train of violet velvet, lined with white satin, and trimmed with silver bullion, the body and sleeves ornamented with blond and diamonds. Head-dress, feathers and diamonds.

The Landgrarbie ef ffesscliemburg—A black satin dress, magnificently trimmed with blond ; rich black satin train, lined and trimmed to correspond. Head-dress, plume of black-ostrich feathers; blond laee lappets; ornaments, diamonds and pre- cious stones.

The Duchess of Kent—A white satin dress trimmed with a flounce richly embroi- dered in gold, and surmounted with a wreath of gold and white flowers, the body and sleeves embroidered to correspond; train of gold tissue lined with white satin. Head-dress, feathers and diamonds. Duchess of Cumberland—A splendid Court robe of gold lama, worn over rich white satin, blond epaulettes ; a very splendid train of rich velvet, of the couleur cra- moist, richly embroidered in gold of a massive nature. Head-dress, a splendid Court plume of fine ostrich feathers, and a truly regal suite of diamonds, consisting of-tiara, 8to. ; lappets of blond.
