Chr Court.
HER Majesty's quiet at Osborne was perfect during the past week : Sir James Clark, on his hebdomadal trip as sanatory preserver rather than restorer, was the only visiter.
The Queen returned to Windsor Castle yesterday ; and in the prepara- tions made for receiving her, one notes a mark of respect for him to whose memory Prince Albert paid so striking a tribute at the York banquet last week—the Queen's private band, "which has not played before the Court since the death of Sir Robert Peel," resumed its rehearsals on Thursday. The Duchess of Kent enjoys excellent health at Frogmore. The Duke of Cambridge left London, for Ireland, at the end of last week.
