ftr Court.
THIS week the Queen has been accompanied by the King of the Belgians in her almost daily visits to the Exhibition. On Tuesday her Majesty staid later than usual, and, by arrangement, promenaded, leaning on the arm of her uncle, through the marshalled thousands of her subjects who already crowded the building. The people warmly, but restrainedly, ac- knowledged her recognition of them.
The Queen and Prince Albert, with the King of the Belgians, visited the Duchess of Gloucester, at Gloucester House, on Thursday morning, meeting there the Duchess of Kent ; and enjoyed the recitation of a favour- ite scene from At/raise, by Mademoiselle Rachel. Prince Albert accompanied his guest the King of the Belgians, on Mon- day, to see Mr. Wyld's model of the globe. On Thursday, King Leo- pold went to Claremont, with his children, and visited the family of the Countess de Neuilly. • Prince Albert was yesterday present at Harrow School, to hear the delivery of the scholars' speeches. The Queen held a Court and Privy Council at Buckingham Palace, on Wednesday. At the Court, M. Drouyn de Lhuys, the French Ambas- sador, presented his letters of recall.
