COURT CIRCULAR.

The Queen of PORTUGAL arrived at Windsor Castle
yesterdeay afternoon, on a visit to their MAJESTIES. Her
AIAJESTY reached Bagshot about four o'clock from
Portsmouth, accompanied by the Duchess of BRAGANZA,
and attended by her Lady in Waiting, three gentlemen
of her suite, and Sir J. WHATLEY, one of the KING'S
Grooms in Waiting. One of the King's equipages was
in readiness for the QUEEN, having been sent from the
Palace at Windsor. The QUEEN immediately left Bag-
shot and proceeded to the Palace. On reaching the
Royal domain at the Windsor Park Gate a detachment
of Life Guards, who were stationed there, formed round
the carriage, and escorted her MAJESTY to the Palace,
which she entered by the great quadrangle. The King's
Guard, composed of the Grenadier Regiment of Foot
Guards, with their band, were on duty as a guard of
honour, and received the QUEEN with military honours.
His MAJESTY, attended by the officers of his household,
received the QUEEN on ber arrival, and conducted her to
the Royal apartments.

trious guest.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.-(ADELPHI.)

PLANCHE'S opera of the Court Masque, was repeated
at this theatre last evening, and with as much success as
on its first representation. Notwithstanding the improba-
bilities of the plot, it is a very amusing piece, and is likely
to be productive to the theatre. Mr. J. REEVE was plea-
sant enough in the character of Cantaselli, at least in
such parts of it as he knew, but he not unfrequently put
out the other performes by his verbal blunders. The
character of the music given to Mrs. WAYLETT is alto-
gether of the ballad kind, and was therefore extremely well
sung by her—but she really should consent to dress her-
self a little more in the style of the period which the opera
affects to represent, for in her present costume she looks,
compared to the rest of the performers, whose dress is very
correct, as if the vulgar and impossible threat of knocking
any one into the middle of next week had been executed
in her person, and that she had actually been thrown into
the middle of the next century. The concluding piece
was Bombastes Furioso. Some delay occurred in be-
ginning it, and the audience had already testified some
degree of impatience, when Mr. SALTER stepped forward
and announced with a ludicrous gravity of face, that Mr. J.
REEVE was from " sudden indisposition" unable to per-
form the part of Bombastes. A roar of incredulous
laughter followed this announcement. The substitution
of Mr. OZBERRY was not consented to, and finally Mr.
REEVE appeared. He was welcomed with much laughter,
the audience having evidently prepared themselves for the
pleasure of seeing how he would go through the part, and
the kind of pleasure they anticipated from such an exhi_
bition they must have had ample opportunity of enjoying.
