Zbe Court.
Tim Queen has continued to gain strength, without having suffered any relapse. The Princess Royal is also, according to the bulletins, " in a most satisfactory state." The last bulletin was issued on Tues- day; her Majesty's convalescence being so far advanced as to render fitrther publication unnecessary. The Globe of Thursday explained, that " her Majesty is able to remove front room to room, but, of course, is not yet considered to be what is ordinarily understood by clown stairs.'"
The time of christening, and the name of the Royal baby, arc fond themes of loyal speculation. The Standard fixes January for the christening ; when the Queen Dowager will be godmother, and the Princess be named Adelaide Victoria Alexandrina. The Globe post. pones the ceremony to a later day, after the meeting of Parliament; when noble lords and honourable gentlemen will be at hand to enjoy the fide.
In the mean time, vast numbers daily. seek the self-conferred dis- tinction of getting their names recorded as callers at the Palace. The Queen Dowager arrived at Marlborough House, from Sudbury, on Saturday. On Tuesday, her Majesty visited the Queen. Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar accompanied the Queen Dowager front Sudbury, and embarked on the same day in a steam-packet for Antwerp.
The Queen Dowager and suite left London yesterday morning, by the railway, for Sudbury Hall.
The Duke of Sussex visited her Majesty and Prince Albert on Thursday. On Saturday, the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Cambridge re- turned to town, from Frogmore Lodge, where they had been engaged in arranging the affairs of' their deceased sister. A Windsor correspondent of the Mominy Chronicle states, that a large portion of the property of the Princess Augusta is to be sold by public auction. The same correspondent adds-
" Although, when the twoltoyal Dukes administered to the effects of her Isle Royal Highness, in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, on the 14th Novemlier, the property was sworn to be under 70,0001., it is not expected that it will realize any thing like that sum. The stamp 'duty paid upon the letters of administration was only GM/. The plate, (which has been sent to town,) with the hooks, and other valuable property of a like portable nature, will be sold in London."
The Dutchess of Kent has been daily at Buckingham Palace. The Dutchess of Kent has given directions to have a splendid coverlet made for the infant Princess Royal, to be presented on the day she is christened. It is to be composed of the richest green satin lined with white silk, and ornamented with flowers and embroidered in a manner perfectly unique. The decorations are to be superb in the extreme, and several ingenious females are employed finishing it against the time it will be wanted. The whole is to be composed of British manufacture, and the work completed by English artists and their assistants. The pattern drawing coloured for the coverlet is very beautiful.—Morning Chronicle.
It is reported that Dr. Locock received the sum of 1,000/. for his ser- vices at the accouchement.
