Zcl Illustrious Consort, Prince Albert took their de-
Zrttire from Buckingham Palace, and proceeded to St

‘l,lt Was also the first similar occasion upon which the
139tIcer has officiated in the capacity of Lord
Of hrteerlain and the Earl Fortescue as Lord. Steward

returned.through the midst of the company in the state
rooms, stilt carrying their charts and drawings, and left
the Palace.
the drawing-room commenced with the reception of
diplomatic corps, and at the head of the foreign
Ministers appeared the Count de St. Aulaire, the French
Ambassador. His Excellency wore the order of the
r glen of Honour ; the Countess de St. Aulaire wa
os
it?t Present, but the Countess Dietrichstein, the wife f
e Austrian Ambassador, and several other ladies of
'flerent Ministers, were present.
The Princess Callirnaki, wife of the Turkish Minister,
vas present, for the first time at a public court.
Lady Palmerston attended in the diplomatic circle to
14
treduce to the Queen Mrs. Bancroft, wife of the
American Minister, and some other Ministers' ladies,
Ago
were presented for the first time.
t4.(ifter the reception of the diplomatic corps the gene-
cornpany were admitted to pay their respects to their
vereon,
The attendance was most brilliant, and the costumes
do the ladies were of great beauty, elegance, and splen-
dour, of every variety of colour and texture, and as the
pr:t of the Sovereign is the truest index of the
that
mode, it may not be uninteresting to state
th figured silks and satins predominated much over
those of a single colour, and had a very rich effect.
these
velvet suffered by the comparison with some of
of lace
most beautiful fabrics. The dress itself was often
Iftee or some other light material over satin ; but it
tt la the train—that especial characteristic of the court
dress—that the opportunity for the display of the
Choicest manufacture of the country occurs. One of
exceptions to silk, satin, and velvet, was Lady
Fra,neee Sandon, whose train was of silver tissue shot
An green, and had an effect at once both magnificent
tll'l brilliant. Another lady had a train of purple and
gold tissue, which was also very beautiful. Among the
;elver trains those of the Baroness Brunnow and the
Countess Dietriehstein, the one of ruby coloured velvet
with a deep and very elegant border embroidered in
ver, and the ether of scarlet velvet, with a magnifi-
cent deep bordering of gold, were pre-eminent for their
sect- The young ladies who were to be presented,
generally appeared in some simple colour, trimmed
merely with a ruche or artificial flowers. Among the
dresses a
the magnificent point lace dress of the t cuntess
or
Dundon ld must not pass unnoticed. Indeed, her
La,
lyship's whole costume had a most striking appear-
-11,111 te• The diamonds with which she was adorned were
Placed on bright green leaves, both in the stomacher
and in the wreath on the head. and it is impassible
to
"aßgerate the agreeable and beautiful effect which
tteh an arrangement produced. The Honouraole Ars.
Montague was another instance of the mixture of
Jewela with green leaves with a similar effect. The
(tisplay of diamonds both on the dresses and on the head
Were generally very magnificent. Among the more
Costly and superb jew, is may be noticed those worn by
the Countess of Renfarly. Lady Guernsey wore a row
of orient pearls of immense value, a bandeau of fine
brilliants, and other valuable jewels. The diamonds and
costume of Mrs. Samuel Platt were very beautiful. Mrs.
Cornewall and her daughter wore rows of pearls of great
`ague. The Counters of March appeared in a very hand•
some tiara of diamonds. Lady Eleanor Balfour's dress
displayed a mass of the most magnificent jewels ; and
Mrs. William Stuart wore a necklace of brilliants, with
a cross suspended of very large size indeed. But mag
nifieent as these were, there were no diamonds at the
d rawmg-room at all to equal the necklace worn by the
Baroness
Irtulees North ; every stone was in itself a jewel of
faatertnous value. The costumes of the Duchess of Bed-
ford, Lady Peel, the Countess of Jersey, and Lad-
e;letnentintt Villiers, the Countess of Clarendon, the
Countess of Radnor, and Lady Palmerston, were re-
Inarkable for richness and elegance, and for the jewelled
"laments with which they were adorned.
Pre-eminent above all the costumes of the court in
splendour and beauty, was that of the Queen, who wore
a dress of white satin, trimmed with gold lace, most
tPlendidly ornamented with diamonds.
Her Majesty also wore a most magnificent train, richly
trimmed with gold lace.
,The Ladies of her Majesty's Court, including the
"nehess of Sutherland (Mistress of the Robes), and
lost of the Lathes of the Bedchamber and the Maids of
Honour appeared in drosses of great elegance, and of the
most costly description. . I
Among the Ladies presented to her Majesty were—
viscountess Ilardinge, Viscountess Falkland, Lady
Charlotte Eliot ((l daughter of the Earl and Countess
alinte), Lady Guernsey, Lady Rolfe, Lady Dundonald,
Dire.R olleston, Miss Ilobhouse, Miss Canning (daughter
'lnf. Sir Stratford Canning), Miss Adam, Miss F. Liddell,
'lts, Parke, and Miss E. Goulburn.
'rho Deeeees of Bedford, the Duchess of St. Albans,
the Marchionesses of Ormonde and Chohnondeley, the
9ountesses Delawarr, Gnanville, Morley, Dalhousie,
poachers, and Re:thirty, the ready Mayoress, Miss Bur-
dett o,,uttl, and a very numereus list of toe nobility and
gentry were present at the reception.
In respect of the gentlemen present, the uniforms
presented the usual gay and splendid appearance,
"'erred for the most part with gold embroidery. The
I)uke of Wellington app-ared in his Field-Marshal's
uniform. The Illustrious Duke appeared in excellent
health, •

His Grace the Duke of St. Albans wore his badge, as
the Hereditary Grand Falconer of the Crown, suspended
from a gold chain round his neck.
One of the most. beautiful uniform.; worn at. court wa-
that of a nobleman in the suite of the Austrian Arnbae
savior, who was hahited in the Hungarian costume,
richly decorated with precious stones. The other foreign
eentleinen res. nt appeared in the different uniforms et
their respective countries, enhancing by contrast the el-
fen of this eta, assecubiage, thronged, as it was,
with distinguished officers in naval and military service.
The company assembled in the drawing-room and
Queen Anns s roam the former being appropriated to

guished Yisitors.
tier Niejes was surrounded by a brilliant Calla, com-
posed of the Royal Family, the whole of tie ladies of the
Royal Household, the great officers of State, a number of
'he Cabinet Ministers, and several of the principal officers
of her Majesty's Household.
As the la,lies passed in succession before the Queen
the:r names were announced to her Majesty by the Lord
Chamberlain, and in cases of a first appearance to
Court, or on their marriage, had the honour of being
presented to her Majesty. Retiring from the Royal
presence by a different entrance, as usual, in the Throne-
room from that by which they approached, the com
pany, after paying their respects to the Sovereign,
retired to the drawing-room, portrait gallery, and grand
banquet-room; the two former of which, ewing to their
crowded state. became almost impassable towards the
close of the Court.
When the whole of the company had passed before
tl,e Queen, the doors of the throne-room were closed.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert remained a short time
longer, and then took their departure from St. James's
to Buckingham Palace, escorted, as at their coming, by
a warty of Life Guards.
A euard of honour (Life Guards), accompanied by
their band in their state uniforms, with the silver kettle
drums displayed, were in the large court-yard of the
palace, the band playing a few bars of the national
anthem on the guard taking up its position. The band
then left for the garden entrance to receive her Majesty
with the usual honours on her arrival, after which they
rejoined the guard and played some favourite pieces
during the reception.
In the circle were the French Amba,ssedier, the Rus-
sian Ambassador, the Austrian A inbas.-ador, the Prus-
sian Ambassador, the Turkish Ambassador the Ameri-
can Minister, the Bavarian Minister, the .Peruvian
Minister, the Neap slitan Minister, the Hanoverian

The Quce:a and Prince Albert appeared on their return
in high spirits, and apparently very much amused at
something that had occurred, both enjoying a hearty
laugh, which tended greatly to increase the enthusiasm
with which their departure was greeted.
The principal portion of the spectators remained, after
the return of the Royal Family to witness the
ittede-
parture of the company until the last carriage ud
St. James's Palace at seven minutes past four o'clock,
when the crowd gradually dispersed.
We may avail ourselves of this occasion to announce
that an opportunity, by the express command of the
Queen, is about to be offered to the public to gaze upon
every member of the Royal Family. For a considerable
time Winterholten has been engaged in paintinee what
may be denominated a " family group" of the'Royal
Family, in which picture each of the illustrious group are
taken in the size of life.
There is also a second picture by the same artist, pre-
senting a portrait of the Prince of Wales as the Sailor
Prince.
By command of her Majesty, preparations are being
made for the public exhibition of the se splendid paint-
ine s in the great banquetting room at St. James's
Palace. The arrangement, we believe, is, that the public
shall enter through the iron gates, leading from Pall-
mall to St. Jam:-!s's Park, and so into the corrisler and
and up the grand staircase, and so on to the hapcpietting
room, frotn which they wdl retire by the entrée stair-
case into the Aaibassudor's Ceurt.
The approaches to the Palace were admirably and
efficiently kept by the new police.
Her Mejests's Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at
Arms were on duty in the Stete-rooms.
