(rbc Court.
THE King inspected the troops at Windsor on Sunday morning ; and atterwards, in company w:th the Queen and Lords Frederick and Adolphus Fitzelarence, attended divine service in St. George's Chapel.
On Monday, his Majesty visited the Duke of Cumberland at Kew, where he lunched; and returned to Windsor in the evening. Their Majesties arrived at St. James's Palace on Wednesday fore- noon. The King soon afterwards held a Levee ; which appears to have been thinly attended. Among those present, were the Minister from the King of Greece, Monsieur Tricupi, the Duke of Norfolk, Earls Howe and Fitzailliam, the Bishop of Rochester, and Mr. Abercromby.
On Thursday, the Queen held a Drawing-room at the Palace. The Duteliess of Kent and Duke of Gloucester went in state. Sir John Conroy, as usual, attended the Dutehess; and Colonel Higgins the Duke. There was a very numerous attendance of Foreign Ambas- sadors, at the entre levee. Among the general company were, the Marquis of Westmeath, the Marchioness of Conyrigham and Choi- mondeley. The Earls of Lincoln and Surry, the Countesses of Sefton, Roseberry, and Denbigh, Lords Byron, Stafford, Ebrington, and Kenyon, Sir jail Campbell, Sir Charles Pepys' Messrs. David Latonehe, John Wood, Staveley, and Stewart Mackenzie. The presentations were rather numerous : but we do not find many names of note among them.
The Princess Victoria has not recovered from a cold under which • she has lately been suffering : she could not attend the Drawing-room. The Queen, attended by the Duke of Gloucester and the Earl. and Countess of Denbigh, went to the Ancient Concert on Tuesday evening. The Duke of Gloucester had a grand dinner-party on Saturday. Among the company, were the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Salisbury, Earls Howe and Shaftesbury, Sir John Becket, Mr. Cloker, Mr. Iferries, Mr. Baring, Mr. Holmes, Sir Robert Wilson, and Sir Edward Kerrison.
