Tug Constr.—The Court is in residenoe at Windaor,
and the Court Circa ir rays it is doubtful whether the
Royal family will visit Balmoral before tho latter end
of June or the commencement of July. There is little
doubt but that the Princeas Louise will hold the draw-
ing room thia season, for, although the Prinama of
Woks continues to improve, it will be some time
before alio can undertake any duty that will involve
great fatigue. It is, we believe. the intention of the
Princess to return to Copenhagen with the queen of
Bennotrk, it being tire opinion of her medical attend-
ants that (ho charge to her native air will have a ti.o.t
beneficial effect, and tend to a al eedier recovery in their
Royal patient. at hop bet bee been atipplicil to the
Prinoess, which enables her to obtain some natural
rest.

Tee KENO OF DENMARK received • deputation on
Tuewlay of Danish gentlemen resident in London, to
present a loyal address. The King, in reply, spoke
net; freely on delicate political topics. He maid te was
sorry that he could not say anything very encouraging
or reassuring upon the 'whitest which was nearest the
heart of all Danes—that of their brethren in Sleawick.
He feared it would be some time before that mutter was
settkd. Even the new principle of nationality which
now prevailed everywhere /soured to be diareearded in
their case, where• nationality woe torn as-under. With
dei p emotion, he said he bad received, up to the latest
time, proofs of the most unflinching fidelity to Denmark
on the part of the inhabitants of fileswick, and even in
the southernmost and entirely German districts it was a
common saying if the people that they would " rather
die with Denmark than rot with Prussia."
Tii E PRINCEBB OF WALF.B.—The progress of her Royal
I ig linesinia) s The La neeneentinuea satisfactory, though
alow. the still requires and receives the most careful
attention on the part of the surgeons in charge of her.
Er. Prescott Hewett has been associated with Mr. James
Paget in Attendance upon the Princes., and a visit is
paid twice daily by these gentlemen. The prevalent
rumour that Sir William Zergusson bee seen the Royal
patient is not correct. —l'he B Silt Med.eal Journal
regrets to state that during the past weak there
has been very little progress in the condition of the
kneejoint of Her Royal Highness the Princess of
Wales. There have been slight alternations, but the
present condition is very little in advance of that which
se reported last week. On some nights the Princess
has slept well ; at other times her rest has been dis-
turbed, and there have becu periods of pain. lb.
general health of the Princess has not, however, we are
liAppy to learn, suffered during the week; and medical
men will know how to appreciate this important And
favourable feat. The lamb is still confined in splints, and
slung, to give it ease. We hope in our neat impression
to give • more entirely satisfactory report.
