CHANGES.

vers, at their seat, Thoresby Park, from a visit to the Duke of New
castle, at Clumber Park; Mr. and Lady Elizabeth Dickens, at Brighton

The Duke of Beaufort will come to town on Mon-
day afternoon from Badminton, for the purpose of joining the
distinguished company at the Duke of Wellington's banquet.
In the course of 'the ensuing spring, a series of dinners and
concerts will be given, at the family residence in Arlington-
street, by the Noble Duke and his Duchess. The grand salon
has not yet been thrown open to the beau monde. For the
splendour of its decorations and furniture it is not excelled in
town.

Lord Canterbury's visit to town is understood to be
connected with his Lordship's claims for compensation arising
out of the destruction of some of his property by the fire at the
Houses of Parliament.

Sir Robert Peel, Bart., M.P., arrived in town on
Thursday, accompanied by Lady Peel and family, from Dray-
ton Manor, Staffordshire. We are happy to say the Right
Hon. Baronet is in excellent health. Although the Duke of
Wellington will give a grand entertainment, it is not the in-
tention of the Conservative leader of the House of Commons
to give a dinner on Monday to his supporters.
Sir James Graham, Bart., M.P., and Lady Graham
have arrived in town from their seat, Netherby, Cumberland.
Count Zichy has left town for Austria, in conse-
quence of the death of a near relative.

Lord and Lady Grantley have been placed in
mourning by the demise of Sir William Beechey, the vene-
rable artist, her Ladyship's father.
MODEL OF BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—On Thurs-
day, the 24th ult., a beautiful model of Buckingham Palace,
the workmanship of a self-taught artist, Mr. A. B. Tomlins,
of Woolwich, was presented to the Queen by Sir Henry
Wheatley for inspection, when her Majesty was most graciously
pleased to express her admiration of its Correctness, and to
consider it a work of great ingenuity.

The state apartments in St. James's Palace have
been re-embellished, preparatory to the commencement of
her Majesty's levees and drawing-rooms. The gardens and
shrubberies have been also put in order, by direction of the
Commissioners of Woods and Forests, who have lately taken
charge of the edifice.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Lucca, accom-
panied by Baron Ostini and Dr. Karina, returned to Mivart's
Hotel last evening, from a visit to Mr. and Lady Caroline
Maxse, at their seat, near Midhurst.
His Serene Highness the late Landgrave of Hesse
Homburg, Governor-General of Luxembourg, who has just
died at the seat of his Government, was collaterally related to
the Royal Family of England, his brother, the late reigning
Landgrave, having married her Royal Highness the Princess
Elizabeth, new the Dowager Landgravine. Prince Philip, his
brother, succeeds the Landgrave.
The Duke of Sussex met with a slight accident
while stepping out of his phaeton at Kinmell Park, but his
Royal Highness is going on well. On Sunday last a sump.
tuous entertainment was given by Lord Dinorben, in honour
of the birth-day of the Royal Duke.
