BRIGHTON-TUESDAY,

Their Majesties will leave the Palace to-morrow morning
for St. James's, at nine o'clock.

Prince 'George, accompanied by his Preceptor, will follow
their Majesties in another carriage.
We have good reason to believe, from the number of
departures which have followed each other lately, in such
rapid succession, that our season is thus early drawing to a
close. It trill revive for a time should their Majesties re-
turn on Monday ; but the inhabitants take no steps by way
of getting up amusement-, to induce visiters to prolong their
stay.

his second grand entertainment in honour of the birth of
Prince Nriam-eddeen Khan, third son of the Grand Seig-
nior. The party included the whole of the Corps Diplo-
matique. There was again a splendid device on the exte-
rior of his Excellency's residence ; in the centre was a large
radiated Sun, formed of gold-coloured lamps, within which,
on an elegant transparency, was emblazoned the Sultan's
Cypher ; above this there appeared a brilliant Crescent and
Star. Under the whole was the motto commemorating the
birth of the infant Prince. Wreaths of laurel adorned the
sides of this elegant device. A military band was in attend-
ance, and performed throughout the evening.
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat yester-
day. The Lords present were Lord Lyndhurst, Mr. Baron

Lordship's only brother, Capt. Charles Grosvenor Hood, is
in the Grenadier Guards. The late venerable Viscount,
who, we believe, was Lord Chamberlain to her late Majesty,
Queen Caroline, was the son and heir of the Gallant Sir
Samuel Hood, created Viscount Hood, of Mutley, for his
brilliant conduct in the engagement with the French fleet.
MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.--The Hon. and
Rev. Robert Liddell, fifth son of the Right Hon. Lord
Ravensworth, of Ravensworth Castle, was married on
Tuesday last, at the Church of St. Mary-le-Bow, Durham,
to Emily Anne Charlotte, eldest daughter of the Hon.
and Rev. Gerald Valerian Wellesley, D.D., brother to the
Duke of Wellington, Lord Maryborough, the Mar4u!s
Wellesley, and' Lord Cowley. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Hon. and Rev. Gerald Wellesley, cousin of
the bride, in the presence of Lord and Lady Ravensworth,
the Hon. Miss Liddell, the Hon. H. T. and Mrs. Liddell,
the Hon. George Liddell, Mrs. Brooke Richmond, the
Rev. Henry and Mrs. Liddell and Miss Charlotte Liddell,
the Bishop of St. David's, Mr. and the Misses Jenkinson,
'Miss Cornwall, Sir Hedworth and Lady Williamson, Ed-
mund. Macdonnell, Esq.; Archdeacon, Mrs., and Miss

fast at the house of Dr. Wellesley, in the College, and the
happy couple soon afterwards took their departure for Sea-
ham Hall, the marine residence of the Marquis of Lon-
donderry, to spend the honey-moon.—Newcastle Journal.
HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.—The first concert
of the Vocal Society was given at the King's Concert-room,
on Monday night. Mr. T. Cooke was the leader,
and Mr. Goss was the conductor. A vast number of voca
lists were engaged to give effect to the chorusses, and in
addition to some delightful glees, many songs and airs were
given, Among the performers were Messrs. Edward Tay-
lor, Charles Taylor, Hawkins, Hobbs, Atkins, Parry, Balfe,
Morley, Fitzwilliam, Bradbury, Ransford, &c. ; Misses
Waodyatt and Hawes, and Mrs. Bishop. The instrumental
performers are of the first class. It is to be regretted that
in concerts of this sort soprano male voices should be intro-
duced to sing in unison with soprano female voices. The
uncertainty of tone of the former effectually mars the effect
of the latter ; and such was the case last night. This is an
evil which can be very easily avoided, and the sooner it is
avoided the better, In other respects this concert was of
the highest character, and deserved the high patronage
which, from the number and respectability of the company,
it appeared to have secured. The concert consisted of two
parts, and was selected from well-known and favourite cho-
russes, duets, and solos.

ELOPEMENT.—Monday morning a gay young
fox-hunter, son of a Captain
.m the army, eloped with the
only daughter of a Gallant Colonel, from near Chesterfield.
Their flight was discovered by a farm servant, who, on
going in the morning to work, observed something white
dangling from a bedroom window ; this was a pair of sheets
knotted together, one end secured to. the iron stanchion
of the window. The man made known the circumstance
to the family, when it ayes discovered that the young
lady was algOkAi without leave. The party started at
ahattt two in the morning in a gig, and proceeded at
the rate of eighteen miles an hour to Sheffield, whence
they dashed along in a chaise at a slashing rate for Gretna,
where the blacksmith riveted them firmly in the bonds of
Hymen. Tho eireumstance has been a source of great dis-
appointment to several gentlemen of the neighbourhood who
were paying court to the lady.

Clumber, tho seat of the Duke of Newcastle, has
been for the last fortnight a scone of much gaiety and fes-
tivity. Lord CornLormere and the Hon. Cotton Donking
departed last week, and his Grace is at present entertain-
ing tho Earl of Winchilsea, Viscount Maidstone, Lady C.

Hutton, Sir Thomas and Lady White, Colonel and the
Misses Rolleston, and other persons of distinction. The
grand drawing-room, one of the most superb and mag-
nificently furnished in the kingdom, will be finished in a
fow days.
COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—A dramatic ver-
sion of Victor Hugo's Notre _Dame de Paris, was last night
produced at this theatre, as it was during last season at the
Surrey. We need scarcely remind our readers of the chief
drantatiB p11401:lt of the original romance. - Once known,
they cannot be forgotten—via., a priest-demon, Claude
Frolic) ; a seraphic monster, Quasimodo ; a vestal gipsy,
Esmeralda ; a mad nun, Gudule ; a Captain, without
brains or heart ; and a King of the Beggars. Mr. H
Wallack was a very respectable monster, but yet be was
an Apollo compared to the curious being imagined by
Victor Hugo, and in losing his superlative hideousness, he
loses the contrrst to his exquisitely delicate sensibilit;.-,s,
and so loses the true power of
.the part. Mr. Collins was
at home in the Captain. The action of the piece was but
feeble till the last scene, where Quasimodo tags the priest
fairly down from the topmost tower of Not Dame. While
we cannot say that we were zrpmly
14ecteo by the main
action of this drama, 114- ItltAo acknawledgo that its accesso-
ries were 07,i34-40,, 40 41(1 their host to make up the de,
ficienPy. The gip.sies wore well dressed, well grouped, and
well (lanced throughout the whole affair, and we must do
the taleno-painter the i.istioe to say that ho had executed
his duty with spirit and taste, taking full advantage of all
the picturesqueness of the architecture of the middle age.
The house was quite full, and the repetition was an-
nounced by Quasimodo himself, amid pretty genqrkil and
warm approbation.
