CO Court.
" STATE affairs '• not only interrupt the pleasure's, but interfere with the devotions of our young Queen. The Courtly chronicler relates, that on Sunday last the Queen did not attend divine service in St. George's Chapel, but had Mr. Gossett to officiate privately before her- self and her august mother. The service was probably short as well as private; as, on the same authority, it is mentioned, that " her Majesty did not leave the Castle, but was engaged the greater part of the morning in state affairs."
The guests at the Queen's small dinner-parties consist almost en. tirely of members of the Household. On Wednesday, however, there was the pleasant variety of Lord Melbourne and Lord Glenelg. There is to be a grand banquet at Buckingham Palace on the 27th instant, in celebration of the birthday of the Duke of Sussex.
