THE KING AND HIS COTJRT.—Their Majesties partook of a (1E:Winer
at the villa of the Marquis of Londonderry on Saturday. On Monday they partook of one of a more novel and interesting character, on London Bridge. To this we shall recur by and by. It might have berry sup- posed that public curiosity was pretty well satisfied on Monday ; but on Tuesday, when their Majesties went down to the House of Lords togive the Royal assent to the Queen's Dower Bill, the crowds in the Park, notwithstanding the wetness of the day, were as great as they were on the day of the King's first appearance as a Sovereign. His Majesty looked extremely well on both occasions. It is customary for the Queen to express her thanks to Parliament for the provision made for her : Queen Adelaide made her courtesies with the simplicity and grace that attends all her doings. Among the auditors at prayers on the occasion of the Royal visit to Parliament, the collectors of news have been at pains to note the ex-Bishop of Autin,—Prince Talleyrand: his Excellency is misrepresented if his orthodox feelings were deeply affected by the heretical service. On Wednesday, the King held a Levee ; when M. Van der Weyer was introduced, and delivered his credentials as Ambassador from the King of Belgium; and the Lord Mayor, now Sir John Key, kissed hands on his being created a Baronet. The following gentlemen had also the honour to be introduced on the occasion:
