Cbe Court.
THE King takes advantage of every interval of fine weather to ride into the country. The Dutchess of Gloucester, Lady Mary Fox, the Countess of Mayo, and Miss d'Este, have been his companions in these rides during the week.
The principal guests at the Royal dinner parties have been the Mar- quis and Marchioness of Cholmondeley, Earl St. Vincent and Miss Jervis, Captain George Pechell, Captain and Miss Maitland, the Earl and Countess of Errol, and Miss Bagot. A Cabinet Council was held at the Palace yesterday afternoon, which was attended by all the Ministers.
His Majesty will return to St. James's Palace on Monday week, for the purpose of opening the session of Parliament the next day. He intends to remain four days in town, and then to return to Brighton ; from which place he will take his final departure for the season on the IDth of next month.
The Dutchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria visited the Victoria Theatre on Wednesday, and the Adelphi on Friday evening, to see the pantomimes.
The Duke of Cumberland, attended by Lord Charles Wellesley, ar- rived at his apartments in St. James's Palace, on Wednesday after-
noon. As birds of prey smell carrion afar off, he probably had distant indications of the much-wished-for change in the Cabinet, by which poor Billy Holmes was hoaxed. His Royal Highness and the Duke of Gloucester will be present at .a meeting of the Conservative Mem- bers of Parliament, which is to be held at Apsley House on Monday the 3d instant.
