Cbr Court.
THE King and Queen arrived at St. James's Palace, from Brighton, on Wednesday afternoon. Soon afterwards, his Majesty held a Privy Council ; at which Lord Segrave was sworn in Lord Lieutenant for Gloucestershire, Mr. Hanbury Leigh for Monmouthshire, and Mr. Williams for the county of Brecon. The Sheriffs for England and Wales were finally appointed. His Majesty's Speech for the opening of the Session of Parliament was settled ; and a proclamation was ordered for the issue of silver fourpences.
Ott Thursday, the King proceeded to Westminster, in the usual state, to open the session of Parliament. The Royal procession left the Palace about half-past one, and returned soon after three. The King looked well. The weather was very bad—plash, plash, drizzle, drizzle, the whole day. In the evening the King inspected some plans for the new Ilouses of Parliament.
Yesterday, his Majesty received the Address of the Peers ; and this day the Address of the Commons will be presented.
