His Excellency wore the order of the r glen of Honour ; the Coun tess de St. Aulaire wa o s i t ?t Present, but the Countess Dietrichstein, the wife f e Austrian Ambassador, and sev eral other ladies of 'flerent Ministers, were present. The P r i ncess Callirnaki, wife of the Tur kish Minister, vas prese n t, for the first time at a p ublic court. L ady Palmerston attended in the di p lomatic circle to 1 4 treduc e t o the Queen Mrs. Bancroft, wife of the American Minister, and some other Ministers' ladies, A go were presented for the first time. t4 .(ifter the reception of the diplomatic cor p s the gene cornpany were admitted to pay their res p ects to their ver eon , The attendance was most brilliant, and the costumes do the ladi es were of great beauty, elegance , a nd splen dour, of every variety of colour and text ure, and as the p r :t of the Sovereign is the tr uest index of the that mode, it may not be uninteresting to state th figured silks and satins predomina ted much over th ose of a single colour, and had a very rich effect. th ese velvet suffered by the compariso n with some of of lace most beautiful fabrics. The dress itself was often I ftee or some other light material o ver satin ; but it tt la th e t ra i n —that especial characteristic of the court dre ss—that the opportunity for the displ a y of the Choicest manufacture of the country occurs. One of exceptions to silk, satin, and velvet, was Lady Fr a,neee Sandon, whose train was of silver tissue shot An green, and had an effect at once both magnificent tll 'l brilliant. Another lady had a train of purple and gold tissue, which was also very beautiful. Among the ;e lver trains those of the B aroness Brunnow and the C ountess Dietriehstein, the one of ruby coloured velvet w ith a deep and very elegant b order embroidered in ver, and the ether of scarlet velvet, with a magnifi cent deep bordering of gold, were pre -eminent for their s ect- The young ladies who were to be presented, g e nerally appeared in some simple colou r, trimmed m erely with a ruche or artificial flowers. Among the dresses a the magnificent point lace dress of the t cuntess or Dundo n ld must not pass unnoticed. Indeed , her La, lyship's whole costume had a most striking appear -11,111 te• The diamonds with which she was adorned were Placed on bright green leaves, both in the stomacher and in th e wreath on the head. and it is impassible to "aßgerate the agreeable and beautiful effect which tteh an arrangement produced. The H o nouraole Ars. Montagu e was another instance of the mixture of Jewela with green leaves with a similar effect. The ( tisplay of diamonds both on the dresses and on the head W ere generally very magnificent. Among the more Costly and superb jew, is may be noticed those worn by the Countess of Renfarly. Lady Guernsey wore a row of orient pearls of immense value, a bandeau of fine brilliants, and other valuable jewels. The diamonds and costume of Mrs. Samuel Platt were very beautiful. Mrs. Cornewall and her daughter wore rows of pearls of great `ague. The Counters of March appeared in a very hand• some tiara of diamonds. Lady Eleanor Balfour's dress displ a y e d a mass of the most magnifi cent j ewels ; and Mrs. William Stuart wore a necklace of brilliants, with a cross suspended of very large size indee d. But ma g nifieent as these were, there were no diamonds at t he d rawmg-room at all to equal the neckla ce worn b y the Barones s I rtulees North ; every stone was in itself a jewel of faatertnous value. The costumes of the Duc hess of Bed ford, Lady Peel, the Countess of Je rse y , and Lad e;letnentintt Villiers, the Countess of Cla rendon, the Countess of Radnor, and Lady Palmerston, were re- Inarkable for richness and elegance, and for the jewelled "laments with which they were adorned. Pre-eminent above all the costumes of the court in splendour and beauty, was that of the Queen, who wore a dress of white satin, trimmed with gold lace, most t Plendidly ornamented with diamonds. Her Majesty also wore a most magnif i cent train, richly trimm e d with gold lace. ,The L a die s of her Majesty's C ourt, including the "nehess of Sutherland (Mistress of the Robes), and lost of the Lathes of the Bedchambe r and the Maids of Honour appeared in drosses of great elegance, and of the most costly description. .

His Grace the Duke of St. Albans wore his badge, as the Hereditary Grand Falconer of the Crown, suspended from a gold chain round his neck. One of the most. beautiful uniform.; worn at. court wa that of a nobleman in the suite of the Austrian Arnbae savior, who was hahited in the Hungarian costume, richly decorated with precious stones. The other foreign eentleinen res. nt appeared in the different uniforms et their respective countries, enhancing by contrast the el fen of this eta , assecubiage, thronged, as it was, with distinguished officers in naval and military service. The company assembled in the drawing-room and Queen Anns s roam the former being appropriated to e-se having the privilege of the entrée, and the latter to the general company. A: ter to. entree company h paid their respects r. the Sovereign, the doors of' given Anne's room were ern , d, and the general company w• re admitted a:io passed on to the Throne•room, where her Majesty, ac -..reseedee he tier Royal Consort, received her distill. guished Yisitors. tier Niejes was surrounded by a brilliant Calla, com posed of the Royal Family, the whole of tie ladies of the Royal Household, the great officers of State, a number of 'he Cabinet Ministers, and several of the principal officers of her Majesty's Household. As the la,lies passed in succession before the Queen the:r names were announced to her Majesty by the Lord Chamberlain, and in cases of a first appearance to Court, or on their marriage, had the honour of being presented to her Majesty. Retiring from the Royal presence by a different entrance, as usual, in the Throne room from that by which they approached, the com pany, after paying their respects to the Sovereign, retired to the drawing-room, portrait gallery, and grand banquet-room; the two former of which, ewing to their crowded state. became almost impassable towards the close of the Court. When the whole of the company had passed before tl , e Queen, the doors of the throne-room were closed. Her Majesty and Prince Albert remained a short time longer, and then took their departure from St. James's to Buckingham Palace, escorted, as at their coming, by a warty of Life Guards. A euard of honour (Life Guards), accompanied by their band in their state uniforms, with the silver kettle drums displayed, were in the large court-yard of the palace, the band playing a few bars of the national anthem on the guard taking up its position. The band then left for the garden entrance to receive her Majesty with the usual honours on her arrival, after which they rejoined the guard and played some favourite pieces during the reception.

The Quce:a and Prince Albert appeared on their return in high spirits, and apparently very much amused at something that had occurred, both enjoying a hearty laugh, which tended greatly to increase the enthusiasm with which their departure was greeted. The principal portion of the spectators remained, after the return of the Royal Family to witness the ittede parture of the company until the last carriage ud St. James's Palace at seven minutes p ast four o'clock, when the crowd gradually dispersed. We may avail ourselves of this occasion to announce that an opportunity, by the express command of the Queen, is about to be offered to the public to gaze upon every member of the Royal Family. For a considerable time Winterholten has been engaged in paintinee what may be denominated a " family group" of the'Royal Family, in which picture each of the illustrious group are taken in the size of life. There is also a second picture by the same artist, pre senting a portrait of the Prince of Wales as the Sailor Prince. By command of her Majesty, preparations are being made for the public exhibition of the se splendid paint ine s in the great banquetting room at St. James's Palace. The arrangement, we believe, is, that the public shall enter through the iron gates, leading from Pall mall to St. Jam:-!s's Park, and so into the corrisler and and up the grand staircase, and so on to the hapcpietting room, frotn which they wdl retire by the entrée stair case into the Aaibassudor's Ceurt. The approaches to the Palace were admirably and efficiently kept by the new police. Her Mejests's Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms were on duty in the Stete-rooms. The Queen and Prince Albert, attended by the Royal Suite, afterwards ',turned to Beekingham Palace. lier Royal Highness the Duchess ul Kent was pre vented from attending the drawing- roem by a severe cold.

We have received Cape Town journals to the 20th of January, containing intelligence from the frontier to he 9th. The latest intelligence from head-quarters, some where near the Kei River, repre , ents tht Governor and Colonel Somerset as active and succeseul in following up Cabus Congo's people, and his qbstinate brother Pato. Ills Excellency had crossed the Kei with a strong and wcll•appoinwed force, and with a firm determination to obtain some compensation for the losses of the colonists and the expenses of Government. Ills Excellency had demanded of Kreli 15,000 head of cattle as a i.enalty for his treatment of the British, resident agent, and for permitting the cattle carried off from the colony to be driven into his territory, of which is affirmed the Governor has the most ample proof. With regard to the military movements the accounts state that Colonel Somerset has made a further capture in Kreli's country of 2,000 head of cattle, and that Pato very narrowly escaped capture. This notorious chief, with a number of his followers, got surrounded during a thick mist, Colonel Somerset himself being so near as to discharge a pistol at him, but unfortunately without effect. One or two other shots were fired at him, but still he seems to have escaped unhurt. Th‘ result of this affair is stated to be about forty of the enemy killed, and the capture of the number of cattle stated. Accounts from the districts of Somerset and Graaff Reinet state that that part of the country bad been visited by some of the most frightful thunder-storms ever experienced in that quarter. Much damage has been done to the standing crops, whole corn fields being washed away in some instances. Much loss has also been • done to stock. One farmer, Mr. J. Malan, in Zwager's Hoek, had 1,600 sheep washed away and drowned. Mr. Hartzenburg, it is said, has lost nearly all the stock he possessed, and many other farmers have lost stock. The hail which accompanied the rain is described as being tremendous—whole tracts of country over which the storm passed were stripped of vegetation —the Karoo bushes being literally pounded, and the bark stripped off the Mimosa trees. The Sunday river has not been known to he so full for ten years—•the Vogel, Little, and Great Fish, and nearly all the smaller rivers are flooded over the banks. There is a general order, we are informed, congratulating the troops on the probable speedy termination of their labours—the tribes west of the Kei having been subdued, and the only re sisting chief having been driven with loss over that river. It is said that the 90th, 91st, and 27th regiments will go home immediately. The dispatches to his Excellency the Governor, an nouncing his supercession, and the appointment of Sir Henry Pottinger, reached him at Butterworth ; and a communication has been forwarded to Port Elizabeth for her Majesty's ship Nimrod to be in Waterloo Bay on the 14th, to receive his Excellency, who thus purposes to avoid the fatigue consequent on the overland route. DEATH OF SIR HENRY CARDEN, BART.—This baronet died suddebly at, his residence, near Tersplemere, county Tipperary, on Tuesday last. He had reached his 89th year.

FOREIGN WOOL Ti DE, LEEDS, MARCH 26 —rro great extent of bibiness has been done in foreign wools this week, but the prospects for the spring trade appear more encouraging. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MARCH 26.—The transactions in wool this week have not been large, and are limited to a supply of the immediate wants of the manufacturers. _ WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, MARCH 2Q,—Though we cannot note any great increase in the sales of this week, we have certainly had more inquiry, and prices are fully as firm as last week. There is an opinion that we have seen.our lowest point for the present. LEDDS.—The cloth markets at both Cloth Halls have been of much tho same character as the mai kets during the last few weeks. The demand continues to be prin cipally for goods of low qualities for shipping ; but fine goods, considering the season, continue to be exceed ingly dull of sale. Prices continue steady, and the stocks moderate. Business continues to improve in the warehouses a little. The wholesale houses buy with the greatest caution. The country drapers are, however, purchasing very freely for Easter, and foreign houses are moving a little more than they have done for some time. On the whole, the prospects are considered more en couraging than might have been expected a, few weeks ago. BRADFORD MARKET, MARCH 25.—There is a steady demand for combing wool, and as the supply is a bare one, prices are firm. Short wools continue in good re quest at former prices. There is considerable improve ment in the yarn market, both for the home and cxpoit trade. The spinners are mostly working to order, and a considerable number of idle frames have been brought into requisition. There is a slight increase in prices. The business in the piece market has a stirring aspect. Large purchases still continue to be made, both for America and the Continent. We cannot, however, hear of any improvement in prices, which continue stationary. A deal of silk is now used in our trade. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVErINC have no decided change in our cloth market this week, though more inquiries, perhaps, by the larger buyers, but which, as far as has transpired, has led to no important transaction. As the staple is rather easier to buy, a correspond:ng reduction seems to be expected by our merchants, but which neither spinners nor manufac turers seem inclined to submit to—indeed profits are out of the question. The market closes firmly. BARNSLEY LINEN TRADE.—We are glad to have to note a slight improvement during this month, there having been a good demand for fancy hollands, so that the weavers have been generally well employed. We understand that there is a good amount of orders on hand, making the prospect for the spring months tole rably good. TRADE OF LEICESTER.—Tho London trade still con tinues very flat; country houses are making cautiously, and no improvement has yet manifested itself in the demand. Spinners are still working short time. Wools are steady. The cotton market is flatter, and one house has this week given notice of a reduction of one shilling per bundle from the last list.—Leicester Journal. THE LACE TRADE.—We have had a few buyers, and the market continues much in the same state vir•• last reported—rather quiet, without any change in prices. The weather is promising, and there is hope yet to be indulged of a fair spring trade. Provisions seem to have attained their highest price, and to be lowering in a satisfactory manner. This alone will improve the general condition of this and every other manufacture. - HOSIERY.—The hosiery trade is, if any change be observable, somewhat better, the demand havi Jg slightly increased. The velvet lace patent is still progressing, and we have seen specimens of good velvet made from the bibbin-net machine. A patent hat been obtained for making this article, both from the warp frame and the rolling locker bobbin-net machine. By the latter method the web is made from two distinct warp beams, and an instrument comes between the two, which cuts them into separate pieces, leaving a pile upon each. The warp-method has a shuffle. The making of muslin lace engages the anxious attention of most of the able mechanics, and great efforts are making to improve and extend this manufacture, for which we understand there are consi derable orders, ana the demand wilj.be more extensive when this excellent article becomes generally known.— Nottingham Review.

The weather is variable, with a great deal of rain, which has done infinite service to the country, particularly to the young wheats. There is a large breadth under wheat,much more than usual.
