EV Court.
THERE has been rather more gayety at the Brighton Palace this week than the last. On Monday evening, their Majesties gave a dinner- party, to which the following ladies and gentlemen among others were invited—Lords Ripon, Byron, Decies, Teigrtmouth, and Bristol ; Ladies Cornwallis, Belfast, Mulgrave, Wharneliffe, and Onslow. On Tuesday, the Earl and Countess of Surry, Lord Western, Mar- quis and Marchioness of Conynghem, and Captain and Mrs. Pechell, dined at the Palace ; and in the evening there was a grand full-dress party, very numerously attended by the nobility and gentry at present an Brighton and the neighbourhood.
On Wednesday, Lord Granville, late Ambassador at Paris, had an audience of the King. In the evening, a party of naval officers dined with his Majesty. A report was circulated in the beginning of the week, by the Tories, that the Queen was likely to produce an heir to the Crown. Of course it was a calumny. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria arrived at Kennig ton Palace, from St. Leonard's, and the Duke of Sussex from Lord Dinorben's on Thursday evening.
