NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE principal event of the week is the removal of the Court from Windsor to Brighton, which took place on Wednesday. The Queen bad on that and the following day a specimen of John Bull's devotion to his Sovereign when the loyal tit moves hint strongly. The display in the yard of St. James's Palace on the day of her accession was necessarily on a small scale, though hearty and when her Majesty went in state to prorogue the Parliament, she met with a reception more respectful than enthusiastic. But at Brighton, which was made to hold about double its ordinary population, the delight was exuberant, and its exhibition unbridled. With the exception of the brief in- terval of WILLIAM the Fourth's popularity, halt' a century has elapsed since the loyal feelings of the English have had full score, and even WILLIAM was in bad odour with the Tories. But now, men of all ranks and parties unite in utl'ectionate ad- miration of the Sovereign ; and her popularity is ut its zenith. It would be ungracious to hint that it cannot last ; but it is to be hoped that her Majesty has some honest counsellor to warn her against the danger of relying too much on such displays as she witnesses at Brighton, and to keep her in constant remembrance that by the solid fruits of good government her reign must be distinguished, if she deems the good-will of her people worth preserving.
