COURT CIRCULAR.

The Privy Council appointed to be held by the Queen
yesterday was postponed until to-morrow (Wednesday).
The Queen and Prince Albert, attended by Lord
Alfred Paget and Captain the Hon. Dudley de Ros,
visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester
yesterday afternoon, at her residence, Gloucester
House. _ _ _ _ _

Prince Albert rode on horseback in the forenoon, at-
tended by his Equerry in Waiting.
Her Majesty had a dinner party at Buckingham
Palace in the evening. The company included the
Hanoverian Minister and Countess Helene Kleiman-
segge, the Austrian Miuister and Countess Colloredo,
the Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury, the Earl of Eg-
linton, the Earl of Desart, Lady De Tabley, Lard and
Lady Foley, and Vice-Admiral Sir George and Lady
Seymour.

A meeting of Ministers was held yesterday afternoon
at the Foreign office, Downing-street, which was pre-
sided over by Viscount Pal►xerston.
A deputation from the Board of Guardians of Cam-
berwell parish had an interview yesterday with the Pre-
sident of the General Board of Health, at his office,
Whitehall. The deputation consisted of Messrs. Green-
away and Beattie, Dr. Webster, and Messrs. Barruck,
Waterlow, and Irvine.

We regret to learn that the Duchess of Leinster's late
attack was of an apopletic character. She is now some-
what revived, but still far from convalescent.
The Earl of Glengall is still at Bretby Park, where
his lordship has remained since Christmas. The noble
earl continues in a very weak state, and is not expected
in town at present.
Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. Hugh Percy arrived at
the Earl of Beverley's mansion in Portman-square yes-
terday, from the Crimea. The gallant officer has been
through the whole of the campaign, and was wounded
both at the Alma and at Inkerman. In the former
action he was shot through the arm, and at Inkerman
he sustained a severe wound on the temple, apparently
from a flintstone. Colonel Percy leaves town to-morrow
for Torquay, where the earl of Beverley has been staying
since Christmas.

DEATH OF LORD KENYON.—We regret to announce
the demise of this nobleman, who expired at his seat,
Gredington Hall, in Flintshire, on Sunday last, at the
venerable age of 78. The deceased lord was son of the
first baron, who was a distinguished judge, and filled
the office of Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench in 1788.
He succeeded his father in 1802, and is succeeded by his
son, the Hon. Lloyd Kenyon (now third Baron Kenyon).
ACCIDENT TO THE BISHOP OF DURHAM.—An accident
happened to the Bishop of Durham last week at Auck-
land Castle, which has since confined the venerable pre-
late to his room. His lordship was standing before the
fire in his library in the castle, when it is supposed he
was seized with a fainting fit, to which it appears be is
rather liable. He fell forward against the grate, by
which he was burnt, though not severely. At his lord-
ship's advanced age the shock sustained by his system is
causing some anxiety to his friends. His condition is
described by the local papers as precarious.
MR. ROEBUCK'S COMMITTEE.—The Committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the Condition of the Array before
Sebastopol assembled yesterday afternoon, and unani-
mously elected Mr. Roebuck as chairman. The com-
mittee, on its rising, had not decided whether the public
shoeld be admitted during the inquiry.
MULES FOR THE CRIMEA.—A clerk from the War-
office has been ordered to Sinope, to superintend the
outlay of 50,0001. for the purchase of mules.
THE GUARDS.—The fourth contingent of the Brigade
of Guards for the British expeditionary force will not
leave London for the East until Thursday.

Colonel Daniell, of the Coldstream Guards, has pre-
sented the regimental library in Portman-street barracks
with 500 ♦olumes of choice works.

_
Admiral Nachimoff has just received from the Czar
the order of the White Eagle, as a reward for his ser-
vices at Sebastopol.
