BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—After the banquet
given by her Majesty on Monday evening, there was a dance,
in which her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Duke and Duchess
of Roxburghe, Lady Fanny Cooper, the Duke of Devonshire,
and other fashionables joined. It was kept up until half-past
two yesterday morning. The Queen's chamber musicians
played all the new quadrilles.
The Venerable Dowager Cour.tess of Cork w:11
entertain the Prince and Princess of Capua, Lord and Lady
Dinorben, and a select circle at dinner to-day, in Burlington-
street. In the evening there will be a select and fashionable
addition to the party.
The Duke of Rutland will receive a numerous
party of friends during the ensuing week, at his princely resi-
dence, Belvoir Castle. The Croxton Park races commence on
Wednesday next, which is rather unfortunate, for the Queen's
drawing-room is on the following day, and will probably de-
prive that isrillit..nt meeting of a portion of the rank and beauty
which always characterize those meetings.
His Serene Highness Prince Ernest has been
obliged to postpone his visit to Badminton. It is said that the
exertion of Euglish fox-hunting was found by the Prince to
be rather fatiguing, the hunting nn the other side of the Chan-
nel being chiefly in forests. Our large hedges and ditches are
rather startling to those who are not accustomed to them, and
if, as we understand, his Highness has come home minus a
front tooth from the sports at Deene, we do not wonder at his
requiring a little rest.—Morning Herald.
Lord Gardner will remain at Melton-Mowbray
until the close of the season, when he will return to town, and
take a mansion.
Lord Haddo, eldest son of the Earl of Aber-
deer, quits this country shortly for an extensive tour on the
Continent.
THE RUSSIAN EMBASSY.—We understand
that some changes are to take plac' in the personnel of the
Russian Embassy. M. de Kisseleff, the Charge d'Affaires, has
orders to return to St. Petersburgh, and shortly leaves this
country. Al. de Berg has been appointed Principal Secretary
by his Excellency Baron Brunow, and Count Nesselrode is to
be attached to the Embassy. Count Strogonoff continues at
Ashburnham House.

versation with the Princess Lieven. Ihe Prince de Wurtem-

FORTUNE DIVINING EXTRAORDINARY.
To dive into the mines of futurity, and bring from thence a
knowledge of our after-fate, had never been brought to perfec-
tion until the appearance of the wondrous Egyptian astrologer,
introduced nightly by the WIZARD of the NORTH. This
mystic prcstigator of events to come consults his hieroglyphic-
impressed volume, and reads in its occult pages the future for-
tunes of the anxious inquirers.
CARD-SWINDLING DETECTED. . .

In the present time, when so many unwary victims arc hourly
and daily lured on to wretchedness and indigence, by theinsi-
dious wiles of treacherous and dexterous gamblers, it behoves
every ono to visit the Wiza.d of the North, and witness his
expose of the celebrated " Sauter la Coup," which has been
the ruin of so many unfortunate individuals, but which the
Wizard now lays open to the world in so plain and simple a man-
ner, that after his expose an infant may detect a cheat. The
Wizard's success Las been so tremendous, that to accommodate
the immense cr)wds who visit his performances, he has been
induced to enlarge the Boxes. He will open his arcanic

LONDON:
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1840.

Again the Corn-laws were the subject of a brief dis-
cussion in the House of Lards last night on the pre-
sentation of petitions, and the Duke of RICHMOND.
annoyed no doubt by the exhibition of the agricultural
labourers before the Delegates, tried indirectly to ob-
viate the effects of that striking evidence, by quoting
the increased number of Savings' Banks depositors.
He did not say how many of them were agricul-
tural labourers, nor how many were " flunkies,'
and other ministers to the luxury of the
aristocracy, who, no doubt, thrive amidst the ruin of
industry. Several Noble Lords took part in the brief
debate, and the Duke of CLEVELAND professed himselt
favourable to an alteration of the law.
The Kni. of ABERDEEN announced his inteaticn to
bring in, after Easter, as the Ministers had declined, a
Bill for settling the Intrusion Question in the Church
of Scotland.
A short debate also took place on the Canada Clergy
Reserves. The Bishop of ENETER, in moving for some
papers on that subject, attacked, as is his wont, an
absent man—the Governor-General of Canada, obtain-
ing nothing by his motion, but an addition to the noto-
riety he already enjoys. The papers, with the excep-
tion of the legal opinions of law-officers, were granted.

The question of Privilege was again brought before
the House by the ATTORNEV-GENERAL in the absence
of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The SERGEANT•AT.ARMS

with a notice of action by Mr. Howanu, and the AT-
