Cbc Court.
The King came to town on Thursday, for the pyirpose of hading the Levee, originally proposed for Wednesday, but pOtponed to Thursday on account of the Fast-day.
A successful attempt was made at the LeveeitO evade the regulatiert
which directs no petitions to be read on such o&-asions. Lord Mount- Edgecumbe, who had an Anti-Reform petition from some Magistrates I in Cornwall, and Lord Kenyon, who had an Anti-Education petition
from the Archdeacon and Clergy of the Isle of Ely, contrived to get
the petitions printed on the backs of their respective cards' and so had them read in spite of the regulation. Such petty tricks, playa elsewhere, would only merit laughter—played in the Royal presence; 1 they demand graver treatment. If Lords will behave rudely there; they must be debarred from entering. The King returned to Windsor immediately after the Levee. The. Princess Louise is still in great danger. Nothing can exceed the tender- ness of attention paid to her by her royal aunt. Queen Adelaide is • it good woman—we hope she will never be a politician.
