Cbt Court.
THE King and Queen remain at Brighton, taking rides almost every day into the neighbouring country, hut seeing little company. Among the visitors at the Palace during the week, we find Earl Brownlow, Lord James Hay, Sir. Colin Campbell, the Marquis and Marchioness of Conyngham, Earl and Countess of Uxbridge, and Mr, and Mrs. George Dawson. Lord Brougham arrived at Brighten last Saturday night (he had been at the Lord Mayor's dinner, at Guildhall, in the early part of the evening); and had an audience of his Majesty on Sunday. On Mon- day he returned to town. On Wednesday, the King sat for his portrait to Sir Martin Archer Shee. The Duke of Gloucester and Mr. Alexander Baring take walks to- gether on the Grand Junction Road. This reunion is thought to be- token no good to the Administration,' to which his Royal Highness and the retired merchant are so bitterly opposed.
The Duke of Devonshire, being incapacitated by lameness for per. forming some of the principal duties of Lord Chamberlain, has twice tendered his resignation within a few weeks. But his Majesty has positively refused to accept it; and the Vice-Chamberlain, the Earl of Belfast, supplies the place of the Duke.
