Ett Cwt.

The King and Queen have passed, as appears by the accounts frorn Brighton, a very quiet, and, we have no doubt, for that reason a very happy winter. 'There have been few parties of any .kind, andalmost none on a great scale. The quidnuncs attribute this plain and pleasant mode of living—in his love of which the King greatly resembles his father—to the illness of the Queen ; an illness which has been so fre- quently announced, that we have been first led to doubt, and next to dis- believe it altogether. If illness did exist, it could not be very severe ; it does not seem to have operated as a bar on any occasion of business or amusement. Others attribute the domesticity that has prevailed at "the Pavilion to a principle of economy ; a great virtue in a King, for what he spares lie spares not for himself but for his people. It is stated that certain artistes, as they are called, that bad flocked to Brighton in the hope that the same system of idle and useless expense that prevailed in the household of the last Sovereign would be continued in that of King William, have, after much waiting and disappointment, been fain to take their departure. / This is one of the Irmts-of-consi---- derate management; that-it-will-ntbst rejoice the public to learn. It was the reproach of George the Fourth, not that he spent more than he should have done—for John Bull is greatly indulgent in the case of 1 kings—but that the money which flowed to the court treasury from the pockets of the industrious, was permitted to be drawn out of it by the idle and the worthless, for purposes which the wise could not contem- ;platelvithout derision, nor the moral without disgust. William the 'Fourth acts after another fashion : his expenditure is not seen in bauble palaces, or in the jewels of a titled dernirep. "The public," says the Brighton Gazette, "well knows that the King has always evinced a most liberal and charitable disposition - but they are not aware of the extent of private charity bestowed on individuals of this town at the suggestion of the King. Certain members of the establishment have beers deputed by the King to inquire into the distresses of poor families, who, if found. fit objects of charity, have been relieved from the Royal purse ; and, in morer than one instance, the Sheriff's officers have been removed from their premises by the private bounty of the King of England." Deeds such as these are written in a book which will long outlive the records of Mr. Nash's office and the memorandums of Sir Willianz Knighton.

At the Court which preceded the Levee, the Dublin Corporation Anti- Reform address was presented to the King on the throne. The Court Circular, holding fast the form of sound words, says it received a most gracious answer : the "gracious answer" we shall notice by and by.

After the Levee, a Chapter of the Bath was held, at which 'Ad- mirals Tremayne and Bladen Capel were instituted Knights Com- manders.

A Privy Council followed, for the purpose of introducing Sir Wil- liam Garrow, who has received that high distinction on his retiring from the Exchequer Bench. The report of the judgment on Captain I'Vatrington was submitted to his Majesty's approbation at the same Council ; which, from the business that preceded it, was prolonged to a late hour in the day.

Ensigns—Evatt, Farrant, Hon. T. Murray. In the evening, there was an illumination in honour of her Majesty's birth-day, by the.. Royal tradesmen and the Clubs ; alas ! the lames shone in the pages of the newspapers only. A darkness like that of

Egypt settled down upon the Metropolis early in th'e evening, and crowns and mottoes were alike shrouded from the view of' the straggling and bewildered passengers, who ventured on business or pleasure to -feel their dubious way through the palpable obscure.

It is understood that their Majesties will honour the two Great Theatres with their presence next week. Monday and Thursday are

the days, according to present report. The Duchess of Gloucester has been considerably indisposed.

The Duchess of Kent' and the young Princess, who again reside at Kensington Palace, are pretty regular in their promenades in Hyde Park. On Thursday they visited Covent Garden Theatre.
