ebe Court.
THE Brighton Palace is as dull as usual. In the morning the King rides out with General Thornton or the Countess of Mayo; and a few military officers occasionally dine with him in the evening : the only " " of note whom we notice among the guests at the Royal. table being Lord Wharncliffe. There are no senile or juvenile balls, no " grand" dinner-parties, no fetes. It is curious to observe, too, that the callers at the Palace are almost exclusively military or naval officers. His Majesty and the Queen appear to be shunned by the Tory us well as the Whig Aristocracy. How is this ? what can the King have done to make them all so sulky?
It is expected that the Court will return to London on the 18th in- stant. The King will hold his first Levee at St. James's Palace on the 1st of March ; and the following days have been fixed upon for the Queen's Drawing.rooms,—Thursday, April 13th; Thursday, April 27th, in honour of her Majesty's birth-day ; Thursday, May 18th; Monday, May 29th, in honour of the King's Birthday; Thursday, June lath ; and Thursday, June 22d.
