THE KING.—The fete of Friday, last week, was one of
the most splendid and numerously attended that ever took place at Brighton. The tickets of invitation amounted to 750; and the guests at the Pa- vilion and officers of the Household, added to the members of the Royal Family, made up about 150 more. The Duke of Sussex, the Prime of Orange and a select party, dined with his Majesty. The company invited to the fete began to arrive about eight, and for several hours the setting down continued without even a moment's interruption. The King retired, as is his usual custom, early ; but the Queen continued to honour the company with her presence until nearly two o'clock. The ball did not finally break up until about five.
The following distinguished personages were present on the gay oc- casion.

Numerous as were the invitations on Friday, it appears that the selec- tions were considered .t.) have been improperly made. The greatest pos- sible displeasuie has .been manifested by those that were not invited, and on Saturday the departures were beyond precedent numerous. Brighton seems in a fair way to lose rather than gain by the fete. Among those not invited, is said to be the Dutchess of St. Albans'. Her Grace gave a large party the same evening. She used to figure at the late King's parties ; why she does not at the parties of William the Fourth, we leave those that are skilled in such profound subjects to dis- cover. His Grace of St. Albans, as Hereditary Grand Falconer, was invited, and refused to attend. He could not well do otherwise, unless he preferred obedience to his King to obedience to his wife,—which no man that loves his ease would rashly do. 011 Monday, their Majesties gave what may be termed a political' dinner. The principal guests were the Premier, the Dukes of Rich- mond and Devonshire, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and Lords Holland, Carlisle, Goderich, Althorp, and Howe. The Earl of Errol and Earl Howe were sworn in as Privy Councillors on Tuesday, at a council held for that purpose. Their Majesties visited Stanmer Park, the seat of the Earl of Chichester, on Wednesday; and on Thursday the Royal party visited the Duke of Devonshire at Kemp-Town.
A splendid juvenile ball was given at the Pavilion on Thursday night. The little-great party amounted to 414 happy individuals. The invita- tions to the parents requested them to bring all the younger brandies of the family, from four to fourteen.
It is confidently stated in the best.informed circles, that the recent conference of Ministers with his Majesty, on the.subject of the impor- tant questions of Retrenchment and Parliamentary Reform, were most satisfactory.—Morning Chronicle. Much has been said relative to the late visit of the Duke of Welling. ton at Brighton. The following will, however, set at rest all speculation as to the pOlitical nature of the Duke's journey. His Majesty invited a military party to meet his Grace at dinner ; after the removal of the cloth, his Majesty, having filled a bumper, said, "The King of England knows nothing of politics except when in his closet. He now gives the health of the Great Captain of the Age—his Grace the Duke of Wel- lington.' " This judicious remark answered a double purpose; it ope- rated to convince the Duke that his Majesty's confidence in the present Ministry was impregnable ; and it also served to convince Earl Grey and his colleagues, that the Royal trust reposed in them had not "moulted one feather.' —Briyhton Guardian.
