r. ') "co,

We have already stated that his MAJESTY was
expected at Carlton Palace, this week, preparatory to his pro-
ceeding to Brighton for the Christmas. The King will come to
town from Windsor Castle this day,. Orders for his Majesty's
reception at St. James's Palace, as well as at Carlton Palace,
were yesterday given. There have been very extensive alterations
and improvements proceeding at St. _James's Palace for some
time; those portions of the Palace which were injured by the
tire, and the other portions which covered the archway along
which the public used to pass from the Park to St. James's_
street, and which abutted upon the German Chapel, have
been entirely taken down. There is now a complete open
space between the Palace, and the Chapel, and Marlborough
House (Prince Leopold's town residence, but it is notyet open
to the public. The alterations in the Palace of St. James's are
of a still more important nature. His Majesty, who is here,
as well as at Windsor Castle, showing regard to the residences,
manners, and plans of his revered anti venerable father, in-
tends that the Drawing Rooms, Courts, &c. should be held
at Saint James's Palace, as was the case in the late King's
reign. The fire at the Palace, and the progress of time,
with their united efforts, rendered it impossible to hold Draw.
ing-rooms, &c. at St. James's; and therefore the requisite
repairs of the Palace afforded the opportunity of making
such desirable alterations as to enable his Majesty to hold
Drawing-rooms and Courts at this Palace; and this improve.
merit of the Palace became the more desirable in consequence
of the state of Buckingham House, and the contemplated tem-
porary removal front Carlton Palace. In St. James's Palace,
four large and grand rooms have been formed that will answer
all the requisite Court purposes, having entrances front the four
courts of the Palace, anti separate staircases for the company to
retire to their carriages across the garden to the " drive" of
St. James's Park. These rooms (all the alterations having
been carried on under the superintendence of the Board ot' Works) are now in a state of considerable forwardness ; and as
it is expected that the King will inspect them previously to
his leaving town for Brighton, orders were given accord-
ingly yesterday. The Yeomen of the Guard, too, received
orders to be in attendance at St. James's Palace, preparatory to
the King's return. The King would not have remained at
Windsor Castle so long, but his Majesty had anxiously in-
spected extensive improvements and repairs that are now going
on there. There will be forthwith a Council at Carlton Palace,
to receive the Recorder's Report, to sanction the results of several
Courts Martial that have recently been held, to receive the dif..
fer;:nt 1l inisters, to name the new Judges, &c. His Majesty will
also hold a Court. The King in a few days will leave town for the
Royal Pavilion at Brighton, where his Majesty will remain over
Christmas, making the Pavilion the scene of many festivities—
of a juvenile ball, &c. Directions have been sent to make pre-
parations for the Royal reception. His Majesty, it is at pre-
sent expected, will remain at Brighton through January. Ile
will then return to town to agree to the Speech for the opening
of Parliament on the 3d of -February and his M ajes will open the Parliament in person, should his health perntty it...
Owing to the pulling down of the old house of Lords, on the
site of which, in Cotton-garden, new Parliament-offices, rooms
for records, rolls, Acts, &c. are now building, the Royal en-
trance to the House of Lords is in a very incomplete state. The
King has never been to the House since the new Royal entrance
anti portico for the carriage were built ; and now there is no
communication between the Royal entrance and the robing
room, which leads directly to the throne in the House of Lords.
The continuation from the new staircase to the Painted Cham-
ber, which remains, and which is in direct line with the robing
room, is part of the improvements now building under the daily
inspection of Mr. Soane, the architect, and the Chief Surveyor
of the Board of Works. These buildings, particularly what
is requisite to complete the line of communication for the King
between the entrance in Palace-yard and the painted chamber-
and robing room, will proceed with all possible rapidity. They
are expected to be completed by the opening of Parliament.—
The Xing, it gives us great pleasure to add, enjoys good
health ; and he has of late frequently exercised In Windsor
Park on horseback.
