THE Queen and Prince Albert have remained in quiet at Osborne House enjoying almost daily exercise; though their privacy has been somewhat invaded by public business.
Her Majesty held a Privy Council on Saturday. Prince Albert and many of the Cabinet Ministers attended. It was ordered that the Parlia- ment be further prorogued from Thursday the 2d October to Thursday the 27th November.
After the Council, the Ministers returned to town; except Sir Robert Peel, who remained as a visiter. He departed for town on Tuesday, on his way to Drayton Manor.
The Queen Dowager and the Dutchess Ida of Saxe Weimar paid a visit to the Queen and Prince Albert on Tuesday. They travelled by the South- western Railway, embarked at Southampton in the Fairy steamer, and landed at Osborne. After partaking of a dejeimer, Queen Adelaide and the Dutchess were conducted to Cowes by Prince Albert ; and reembark- ing, they returned to Bushy Park by the same way as when they came.
The Queen Dowager and the Dutchess Ida repaired to Marlborough House on Wednesday. On Thursday, they visited the Dutchess of Glou- cester.
The Queen and the Dutchess, with the Princesses Anna and Am6lie, left Marlborough House yesterday, for Witley Court in Worcestershire ; tra- velling by the Great Western Railway.
