THE KING ANG ms COURT.—The King gave a state dinner

'on Satur- day evening, to the Nulli Secundus club. The members are officers or have been officers of. the Coldstream Guards. About eighty of them at- tended the King on this occasion—the second time since his accession that his Majesty has entertained this highly honourable body. On Sunday, their Majesties gave a dejezine in honour of the birth-day of the Landgravine of Hesse Homburg, and afterwards a dinner to a select party at Bushy ; they returned to town in the evening.

The birth-day of the Princess Victoria was celebrated on Tuesday ; her Royal Highness completed her twelfth year on that day. In the evening, a grand ball was given at the Palace in honour of the joyous occasion, at which most of the younger branches of the nobility in town were present. The Princess danced with her Royal cousins, and also with Prince Paul Esterhazy, Prince George Lieven, and the Marquis of Granby. We note these particulars because they seem to negative the apprehensions of weakness or indifferent health that had been enter- tained respecting the Princess. On Wednesday, his Majesty held his weekly levee ; when the follow.

Yesterday, his Majesty held a chapter of the Garter ; when the rib. bon of that most distinguished order was conferred on Earl Grey,—than who, a worthier, and, we venture to prophesy, a more renowned knight, never buckled on the golden spurs. There was not, at the creation of the noble Earl, any vacancy in she order ; he will therefore remain an extraordinary- knight, until the course of years remove some one of the twenty-five, whose place will not be filled up. The practice is not with- out precedent to support it ; but if it were, such a Monarch and such a servant might well have established one. It is understood that the same mark of the King's esteem was tendered to Earl Grey when he became Premier, and at that time respectfiffly declined ; the second offer of his generous Sovereign it would have been most ungracious to refuse. Some of the journals have talked of Lord Grey's greediness of honours. Yesterday was the birth-day of Prince George of Curnberland ; who has now entered on his thirteenth year. The event was celebrated at Kew by a variety of rural sports, and his Majesty gave a dinner to the Royal Family.

The Gazette of Tuesday announced, that "the King has been pleased to grant to Frederick Fitzclarence, Esq. a Colonel in the Army, to Adol- phus Fitzelarence, Esq. a Captain in the Navy, and to the Reverend Augustus Fitzclarence, respectively, the title and precedence of the younger son of a Marquis of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland; and also has been pleased to grant to Sophia, wife of Sir Philip Sidney, to Mary, wife of Charles Richard Fox, Esq. a Lieutenant- Colonel in the Army, and to Augusta, widow of the Honourable John Kennedy Erskine, respectively, the title and precedence of the daughter of a Marquis of the said United Kingdom." Another proof that the key of the fountain of honour is at length in the Sovereign's keeping— that the King can now do what he likes with that which is really his ow/i!
