THE COURT, &e,

WINDSCM, Jan. 28.—Her Majesty's dinner party,
yesterday, included a distinguished party of visitors.
Her Majesty's private band was in attendance, and
performed in the drawing-room. The Queen, with
Princess Alice, walked and drove in the Home Park,
and visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of. Kent at
Frogmore. Princess Helena and Princess Louisa rode
in the Riding-house. His Royal Highness the .Prince
Consort went out shooting. Viscount Sydney and
Colonel Wetherell had the honour of accompanying the
Prince.

His Royal Highness the Prince Consort inspected it
brass gitn, captured from the pirates of Borneo, which
has been mounted on an appropriate carriage at Wool'
with. Colonel Tulloh, superintendent of the Royal
Carriage Department, attended to present the ,gun. It is
to be placed, by her Majesty's command, at Windsor
Castle.

PRINCE ALFRED EXPECTED AT CORFU.-By the latest
dates from Corfu, we learn that preparations were making
at that place for the reception of Prince Alfred, who was
daily expected there from Malta, in the Euryalus. The
authorities had received directions to confer with Major
Cowell as to the ceremonials to be observed with reference
to the royal cadet. United Service Gazette:
The Prince of Wales arrived at Verona on the 22nd.

i'Velle;,---onpreitig(74 authority, thatthe statement
which has gone the round of the daily press,. about the
visit of the Queen ton assist at the christening of her
grandchild, in the Prussian capital, is incorrect. Should'
events be favourable, the Princess Frederick- of Prussia
will come to England some time in the spring, to visit
her august parents;—Spectator.
The King and Queen of Prussia are taking advantage
of the fine and bracing weather to see all the curiosities
of the Eternal City. They have been to the top of the
Ccelius to visit there the convent of the Passionists, and
have visited for the second time the Basilica of St. Peter
in the Vatican. Those who-were in attendance on. their
Majesties could not fail to' remark that the King pre-
served distinctly all his remembrances, from the period of
his former visit to Rome in 1828. His health is evidently
improved. The Queen paid a visit to the Grand-duchess
Mary of Russia at the Hotel di Londra.
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess
d'Aumale are staying on a visit with Frances Countess
Waldegrave and Mr.;llarcourt, M.P., at Nuneham Park,
where a distinguished circle of guests are assembled.
THE BALL AT THE TUILERIES. —A Paris' letter in the
Nord of Brussels says : —" A great difference was per-
ceptible between the general aspect of the last ball at the
Tuileries and the first. Evidently less anxiety was felt..
The foreign presentations took place as usual before their
Majesties entered the ball-room, and the Emperor was
observed to converse frequently with Baron de Hubner_
Many eyes were turned towards them, eager to catch
from the expression of their countenances what was the
subject of their conversation. M. de Persigny also
talked very gaily with the ambassador, who withdrew
immediately after, his court being still in mourning.
The Emperor and Empress entered at a quarter past ten.
At midnight their Majesties came into the grand gallery,
and after having made the tour of it, took their seats in
the middle and a waltz was danced before them. Their
Majesties soon after left the rooms and retired ; the
Emperor, having been shooting in the morning, was
fatigued, and no official quadrille took place. The toilette
of the Empress was as usual most beautiful ; her hair
was ornamented with leaves and diamonds. The Emperor
wore. the uniform of a general of division, and 'his
decorations in diamonds."

MARRIAGE OF PRINCE NAPOLEON

At Turin, on Sunday, Jan. 30, at eleven o'clock, the
marriage of the Princess Clotilda with Prince Napoleon
was to take place. Mgr. d'Ancennes, Archbishop of
Verceil, had received an intimation that he was to perform
the ceremony in the Chapel Royal. The departure of the
will embark for Marseilles. The city of Turin has voted

aanxtigeaddstcillii-ess to Prince Napoleon, and the Chamber of
Deputies have voted unanimously, and without discussion,
the law relative to the dotation of the Princess Clotilda.
The Prince went out shooting with the King. The
Chamber will not sit on the day of the departure of the
Princess for Genoa.

At the sitting of the Piedmontese Senate on Tuesday,
the president, the Marquis de Sostegno, informed his
colleagues that the King had announced to the deputa-
tion which had gone to the palace to present the address,
that a matrimonial alliance was about to take place
between the Princess Clotilda and Prince Napoleon of
France. The president said :
" His Majesty added that in concluding the marriage
in queition, he was actuated by the conviction that he
was ensuring the happiness of his well-beloved daughter,
at the same time that he was drawing closer the ties
which already bound him to the powerful Emperor of the
French, who supported with such brilliancy an inheri-
tance of glory. In the name of the Senate, I congratu-
lated his Majesty on the august alliance which he was
about to contract, and expressed the sincere desire of the
Senate that every happiness might attend the Princess
Royal. I also assured the King that the Senate would
always show the greatest readiness to respond to the
solicitude of his Majesty for the well-being and grandeur
of the country."

This land wage was received with loud cheers

The members of the Municipal Council of the city of
Turin, and forty communal councillors, had the honour
to present to her Royal Highness the Princess Clotilda a
rich work of art in silver, beautifully wrought. The
mayor of the city addressed Prince Napoleon in a speech
rgmarkable for its patriotic sentiments; and his imperial
highness, in reply, declared that he would do all in his
power to promote the happiness of the daughter of the
King, the worthy inheritress of the virtues of an illus-
trious and heroic family ; and requested the mayor to
assure his fellow-citizens, in his name, how sincerely ha
prayed for the happiness and future prosperity of Sar-
dima.

DEATH OF TILE EARL OF RIPON

We have to announce the demise of the Earl of Ripon,
who died at an early hour on Friday morning, at his
villa at Putney Heath. The deceased Earl had been ill
for the last three weeks. but about ten days back his
indisposition assumed such a serious form that the
eminent medical gentlemen at once pronounced his case a
hopeless one. The lamented Earl continued gradually to
sink, and at a few minutes after one o'clock on Friday
morning he expired. The Countess of Ripon, and
Viscount and Viscountess Goderich, who had been unre-
mitting in their attention to the noble invalid throughout
his illness, were present at the dissolution of his lordship.
The late Earl of Ripon's public and political career had
extended over 40 years, and during that period he had
occupied some of the highest offices in the government,
for, in addition to having been once, for a few months,
First Lord of the Treasury, he had been a member of the
cabinets during the administrations of the Earl of Liver-
pool, the Right Hon. George Canning, Earl Grey, and of
the late Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel.

EXTRAORDINARY AND USEFUL INVEN,TION.—There is
nothing that housewives complain of with. greater truth-
fulness, than the breaking •of some favourite piece of
glass, valuable china, or earthenware. In hundreds of
cases such things cannot be matched, and of course cannot
be mended. The latter want has been obviated by as
extraordidary and effective invention, by Mr. Adshead, of
Derby Pottery, near Derby .It is a cement that may be
said to heal, in a perfect manner, all cracks and breaks ia
the articles spoken of ; and not only in these, but in mar-
ble, alabaster, &c. The benefit of this article need not
be dwelt on. We have seen some of its effects at Mr.
Hall,
t fr 2e
Hall's, our neighbours, and the glass that has been
cemented by it is stronger in that part than in any other.
The article is very cheap, and no house can be long without
it. Mr. Hall is the agent for its sale in Liverpool, and
all interested can judge for themselves, by looking in at
