The Court was most crowded yesterday, and dis-
played considerable variety ; scarlet and royal purple
velvet dresses, and richly embroidered satins, were
innumerable, and !with, being the first drawing
room in spring, all the variety of that enchanting
mason was embraced by the youthful votaries of
fashion in their dresses. White crape dresses, or-
nauiented with beads, were worn by many; cc-
lonred crapes and baronets were general ; green.
pick, and primrose, prevailed. Ainongst the pre.
seutations were the Misses BANKS, daughters of Mr.
BANKS, M.P. for Corfe Castle. It was the first

fashionable world, their dresses were alike, and
displayed taste and splendour, viz.:—
Primrose sonnet petticoats, with broad silver fringe on
the right side, a crape drapery of the atone colour, richly '
embroidered, the ground in silver ereacests; Oa the left, a
small drapery, alsu embriAlered is crescents, sod ted up
by silver chains, cords, and tassels • also a drapery bow the
shoulder, which had a beautiful effect train of primrose
sarsiset, trimmed with silver fringe and the finest poitit lace.
Head-dress, a small bandeau of primromitestht is, cunt a most
spit:said plume of the same ‘iriour, with diumusils.
The Countess of CRAVEN'S appearance at Court.
yesterday, excited munch curiosity. She did not
go with any ostentation or pomp. She went iii
new chair, attended by two liititmen, in new white
livery. Her MAJESTY received her in the most
condescending manner. The whole of the Noble
Earl's relatives were present upon the occasion.
The Noble Earl conducted the Countess to the
Chair, and was particularly aseeetive to her during
the whole time.
