Zbt Court.
The Queen and Prince walk in the grounds, or ride in pony-phae- tons, with their guests ; and sometimes the Queen and the two Princes ride on horseback, and the Prince of Saxe Coburg Gotha accompantes them, with the ladies of the Court, in the phaetons. The children daily enjoy the air. - On Thursday, the Fifteenth Regiment of Foot was reviewed by the Queen and Prince Albert. The Queen wore a splendid riding-habit of purple mid gold, with the Order of the Garter, and a military cap; Prince Albert his Colonel's uniform ; and Prince Ernest the uniform of a Saxon General. A variety of well-performed evolutions drew a com- pliment to the Colonel, Lord Charles Wellesley, from the Queen and her consort.
The Second Regiment of Life Guards, commanded by Colonel Reid, had yesterday the honour of being similarly reviewed. The Dutchess of Kent went down to Frogmore Lodge on Tuesday, from Clarence House. Monday was the birthday of the Dutchess of Cambridge. The event was celebrated at her Royal Highness's residence at Kew. The Queen Dowager, accompanied by Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, and the Dutchess of Kent, the Dutchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Sussex, and Prince George of Cambridge, arrived in the course of the morning. A dejeuner was served to the illustrious party ; which remained at Kew until past five o'clock. After the dejeuner. the Duke and Dutchess and Princess Augusta went to see Herr Dlibler at the St. James's Theatre; and on Tuesday, the Dutchess and Princess were at the Italian Opera. - The Duke of Cambridge dined with the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion- house, yesterday.
The Times learns, "from an authentic quarter," that the many re- ports respecting visits to be paid by the Queen during the autumn are inaccurate; and that it is only known that her Majesty will visit the Marquis of Exeter at Burghley ; where preparations are making on a scale of great magnificence.
The Queen has appointed Mr. Partridge her Portrait-Painter Extra- ordinary ; and Prince Albert has conferred on the artist a similar honour.
An Isle of Wight correspondent asserts with much confidence, that the Queen Dowager will spend the coming winter in that island ; Steep Hill Castle, the seat of Mr. John Hamborough, being absolutely en- -gaged for the winter residence of her Majesty, who is to take possession on the 1st of October.— Times.
