Scandal has been busy about the Palace precincts. It has been rumoured that the Queen inflicted personal chastisement on one of her Ladies of the Bedchamber, for :mum trifling feult ; end that the lady in .question, Miss Davys, left the Palace in conseenteme. But Miss Davys is still at the Palace, and the ramour is contradicted. Another story is, that her Majesty hearing some evil report—a violent flirtation with a Court physician—of a lady who attends upon the Dutelless of Kent. commanded her to remain in her own chamber ; that the fair prisoner complained to her brother, a noble marquis that the brother demanded investigation, and would not be put off by the Premier's promise to make up the quarrel; that the result huts beon the restoration of the Italy to freedom and favour. We hare heard no contradiction of the latter story ; nor of another, in whielt the Queen, her mother, and the Duke of Wellington figure.
