MAY 10. BRIGHTON!, May 4 .—Yesterda7 afternoon the Prince Regent took a carria g e airing as fur as Shore ham, accompanied by Lord William Gordon. This was the first time of his R)yal Highness, leaving the Palace since his indisposition with the gout. His Royal Highness walked with a more firm step to the carriage door than cou:d be anticipated, considering the short lapse of time since the bulletins have beet, discontinued. His Royal Highness continued his carriage drive for upwards of two hours. The Duchess of Kent, we are happy to say, has enjoyed good health since her arrival at Kensington palace. Her Royal Highness takes an airing daily in a phaeton, for about an hour and a half, and in general is driven by her Royal Consort.
