COURT CIRCULAR.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent gave (for the
first time since the marriage of her Serene Highness the
Princess Hohenlohe) an early assembly, on Monday even-
ing, at Kensington Palace, at which was present her Royal
Highness the Princess Victoria.
The party included the Foreign Ministers and their la-
dies, and almost all the nobility and gentry in town.
The apartments opened on this occasion were the vesti-
bule, saloon, and two drawing-rooms. Her Royal High-
ness's servants in and out of livery lined the hall and grand
stairs.
The band of the Scotch Fusileer Guards were stationed
in the inner hall (which was ornamented with shrubs),
and performed several favourite airs during the arrival and
departure of the company.
The flower-garden leading from the vestibule was most
brilliantly illuminated with variegated lamps.
The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, attended
by their Royal Highnesses' household, received their di,-
tinguished guests in the vestibule.
Refreshments were served during the evening in one of
the drawing-rooms.
The Duchess of Kent, the Princess Victoria, the Prince
Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg, and the Prince of Leiningen,
visited the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday.
The Spanish Minister and the Dutch Special Minister
visited Viscount Palmerston yesterday at the Foreign"
office.

magnificent cloud, and promises she shall also go' en °lF-
dition that she returns by 12 o'clock. These terms are
agreed to, and Cinderella is attired in a most superb dress,
and conveyed to the Prince's Palace in a splendidstate car-
riage, drawn by two white horses, and attendedby a nume-
rous retinue of domestics in gorgeous liveries. The gran-
deur of Cinderella's departure drew forth the most deafen-
ing
applause from the audience, but it was only a foretaste:
of what was to follow. The second act opens with a vie:
of a grand octagonal cedar saloon in the Prince's palace'
fitted-up for the grand ball. This scene is the most nlag-
nificent and splendid we ever saw, and when the curtaiLno
was drawn up,it astonishedand delighted the audience, via
testified their approbation by loud and long-continued ay;
plause. This scene has been prepared on a scale of greaifit
depth, height, and breadth, than on any preceding t
°co
since the opening of Covent-garden Theatre, and is lue
minted by more than two thousand lamps. This seen
alone would well repay a visit to Covent-garden,for we are
