Cnurt.
THE Royal Family remains at Osborne, enjoying all the appropriate summer pleasures. On Monday and Tuesday, the Queen, Prince Albert, and the children, embarked on board the Fairy, and cruised off the Isle of Wight. The Queen inspected Mr. Thompson's newly-invented marine life-preserving seat, and Mr. Cunningham's patented method of lowering and reefing topsails. Last Saturday, Prince Albert, accompanied by General Sir Frederick Smith, went in the Fairy on a visit of inspection to the new works now in the course of erection for the purpose of defending the entrance to the Solent by the Needles. The Queen and Prince Albert drove to Newport on Thursday afternoon. The Earl of Aberdeen returned to town yesterday, from a visit to her Majesty at Osborne.
