customary drive and airing in the Great Park, Ili* Majesty

directions, for the greater convenience of enjoying his summer
recreations. His Majesty then visited the New Lodge and
Cranbourne, and returned by Sandpit-gate. The weather
yesterday was so extremely mild for the season, that the King
was nearly three hours absent from the Lodge. The phaetons

gusta has taken an airing in her carri:ige ; the Princess yester.

We are sorry to say the Duke of York was seized on Wed-
nesday morning with an attack of the lumbago. We are happy
to say his Royal Highness wits so much better yesterday as to
be able to ride out in his chariot.

The Duchess of Gloucester arrived in town yesterday, at
her house in Park-lane, and at half-past three o'clock her
Royal Highness left London on her return to Bagshot.
The Earl of Liverpool left his house in Whitehall on Thurs-
day evening for his seat at Coombe Wood, near Kingston,
Surrey. The Noble Earl did not return to town yesterday.
Yesterday morning the Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived
in town from Charlton, Kent, at:11 after transacting business
at the Treasury during the day, returned in the evening.

Music.—lt is highly gratifying to find that the
taste for the musical Soiries, of which we have recently taken
notice, is rapidly on the advance in this country. They origi-
nated, we understand, in the meetings of the performers of the
Opera at each other's houses for the purpose of private practice.
One friend, however, was admitted, and subsequently others,
as auditors, until what was at first a mere matter of business
became at length a vehicle of amusement for the different
friends of the artists. The two Misses MARINONI last night
received a select party of their friends, and presented them on
the occasion with a very interesting little Concert. DE BEG-
Nis, in requital for the aid which the younger sister has
afforded him on the nights of his Concert, added his powerful
and effective bass in several duets, &c. The fair sisters also
appeared to much advantage in the execution of the pieces
allotted to them, but more particularly in Rossixi's trio
Crude Surte with Toluti, whose pleasing tenor added much to
the effect. In the terzetto Signor Don Miccu di Canada Miss
FORTUNATO. :11 AR INO N I was highly effective, from the lively
and arch expression which her features gave to the words. We
have not room to detail the various duets, &c. which were de-
serving of notice, and must therefore content ourselves by ob-
serving, generally, that the whole was so well regulated as to
confer great credit on the judgment and talents of the two
sisters.
