THEIR MAJESTIES.

,From the E.:pre,s of Satturdiky.;

The King and Queen, we are happy to state, remain in the
enjoyment of good health. The state of the Princess Louise
nntinues essentially the same, although there occasionally
occur some of those fluctuations which form one of the dis.

tinguishing characteristics of the flattering, but too fatal,
ease under which she is suffering. Last night her Highnets
had a comparatively good night's rest, but to-day again any
hopes that might have been thus inspired have, we are sorry
to say, been by no means sustained ; and it is the opinion of
the medical men, that on the whole no alteration for the better
has taken place. To-day is the fifteenth anniversary of the
Princess's natal day: of course, under the present painful cir-
cumstances, all the usual rejoicings and congtatulations are
suspended, although we understand that the Queen, with a
kind solicitude to communicate any little gratification to her
afflicted young niece, presented herself to her bedside this
morning with a present of co,tly books. We understand that
her Majesty still entertains sanguine hopes of recovery. The

COURT CIRCULAR.

The Princess Augusta attended divine service yesterday
morning, at the Chapel Royal, St. James's. Her Royal High-
ness paid a visit in the afternoon to the Duchess of Gloucester,
at Gloucester-house.
• .
Divine service was performed yesterday, before the Dodieis
of Kent, and the Princess Victoria, and their RoAl Highnesses'
household, by the Dean of Chester.

A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday afternoon at the
Foreign-office, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl Grey, Viscounts Melbourne, Pal-
merston, and Goderich, the Right Hon. Charles Grant, Sir
James Graham, Lord Holland, the Duke of Richmond, and Mr.
Stanley. The Ministers remained in deliberation two hours
and a half.

Directly after the Council Earl Grey left town on a visit to
their Majesties at the Palace at 'Windsor.
Count Orloff, accompanied by Prince Lieven, the Russian
Ambassador, left the Clarendon, on Saturday, for the Palace at
Windsor, on a visit to their Majesties.
Mr. Van Buren, the American Minister, took leave of Vis-
count Palmerston on Saturday, at the Foreign-office. Mr. A.
Vail, Charo d'Affaires of the United States, was presented to
Viscount Pahnerston, on his appointment.

Prince Talleyrand, the French Ambassador, the Baron de
Wessenburg, on a special mission from Austria, and the Prus.
sian Minister, transacted business with Viscount Palmerston,
on Saturday, at the Foreign office.

The Right Hon. Poulett Thomson, Vice-President of the
Board of Trade, has been confined to his residence in Somerset-
place for several days past by indisposition.
Lord Durham came to town on Saturday morning from his
seat at Sudbrooke, Surrey. His Lordship returned to Sud-
brooke in the evening.

Viscount Palmerston left town yesterday on a visit to their
Majesties.

Both Houses met on Siturdav to enable the
Ministers to press forward the Sugar Duties Continuation Bill,
as the existing Act expires on Wednesday next, yet on Saturday
it still remained in the Commons. It was then carried to the
Lords, and their Lordships have directed their standing orders
to be suspended, to afford facilities for the passing of the Bill, so
that today it will have passed through all its stages. That
fact will be announced to the Commons to-night, and tomorrow
it will receive the Royal assent, by Commission. Sharp and
close work! .

Some foolish persons, for reasons which are
not apparent, have published a rumour that Lord Durham has
resigned. We allude to the report for no other purpose than
to assure our readers that there is not the slightest foundation
for it. The absence of Lord Durham from some of the Cabinet
meetings was probably the temptation which invited the false-
hood, and the reason of its being entertained by persons who
ought to have known the authors of the fiction too well to place
confidence in any thing they said. Lord Durham has been de-
tained at Sudbroke-park by indisposition, and was consequently
unable to attend the Cabinet meetings.—Times.
Lord Auckland has ju,t prepated a Bill, and
presented it to the House of Lords, " to Consolidate and
Amend the Laws against Offences relating to the Coin,

The M3r9l:is of A;lgiesea, Lard
the Earl of Mulgrave, and Lord Erskine, will be present in
the House of Lords, during the discussion on the Reform Bill.

It is said ihat Lord Getivile, it. aliswer i.o
the circular addressed by the Secretary of the Charles-street
Gang, has stated his inability to attend personally the debates
upon the Reform Bill, but that he has intrusted the opposing
clique with his proxy. Poor Lord Stowell, and the of
Lauderdale, both invalids, are likewise pressed to be in the
House, whilst the Bill is in the Committee.

The E,rl DoNotJghmore, the ~h 1 and tried
friend of Earl Grey, has, we understand, written to his Lord-
ship, offering, at the greatest personal risk and inconvenien,e,
because of his extreme ill-health, to leave his seat at Knock-
lofty, and come to London, should his vote be deemed essentia I
to the passing of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords.
PRINCE PAUL ESTERHAZY.— No-
bleman is expected to return to this country in about two
months. The chief object of his journey was to arrange the
financial affairs of a near relation, which had fallen into dis-
order ; but, on Ms arrival at Vienna, he was requested by the
Emperor to lay before the Cabinet his views of the Belgian
question, and of the general politics of Europe ; and it is to his
urgent remonstrances that we are chiefly indebted for the rati-
fication of the Belgian treaty by the Emperor of Austria, at the
advice of his Cabinet. Some very absurd statements have been
made as to the domestic business on which Prince Esterhazy
was required to return to his native country. It has been even
said that the family was in a state of ruin. So far from this
being the case, the net income of the relation alluded to now
far exceeds 100,0001. por annum ; and, through the arrange-
ments proposed by Prince Paul, it will, probably, in the course
of two or three years, be near double the amount of that suns.

As a proof that the most unpopula .ind tin--
pleasant duties may be performed in a manner to afford satis-
faction and to elicit respect, a dinner was given on Thursday
last at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, by the parishioners of
St. Mary-le-Strand, to Mr. Parish, on his resignation of the
collectorship of the parish rates, an office which he had fitted
more than fifteen years ; and a valuable piece of plate was pre-
sented to him on the occasion, bearing an inscription expres-
sive of the high sense they entertained of his services aria
character.

Coo. Orloff is expected to return to town
to.day, from a visit to their Majesties at Windsor, whither his
Excellency proceeded on Saturday afternoon, accompanied by
Prience Eleven, having previously paid an official visit to Earl
Grey, at the Treasury. The Noble Earl, Viscount Palmerston,
Prince Talleyrand, and Baron Wessenburg, were amongst a
select party invited to meet the Envoy, on Thursday, at Ash_
burnham, House. Count Woronzow also gave an elegant din-
ner to the Count and a distinguished party, on Friday, at his
house in Mancheld.street. The Marquis of Wellesley, Viscount
Sydney, Lord Hill, Sir Robert Peel, Sir James Kemp, and M,
Faick (the Netherlands Minister), were among the persons
of distinction who inscribed their names in his Excellency's
visiting-book, at the Clarendon, on Saturday. There is reasou
to believe that the Count's stay in this country will be more
prolonged than was at first anticipated, in consequence of the
King of the Netherlands persiiting in his demand of modifl
cations of the treaty ; and the refusal of Lord Palmerston and
Prince Talleyrand to allow any modifications to be made in the
present treaty, will render it necessary for Count Orloff to wait
for fresh powers from his Court.
The only son of the Doke of Hamilt,,n, who
is jk:st of age, will, it is said, be immediately created a Poor.
The Noble Duke and this highly promising youth arrived in
town a few days ago from Hamilton Palace.

place, Bath, has bequeathed the following legicies, viz., 1,0001.

Among the merchants connected with the
Peninsula, or with the Mediterranean, the' e is an almost total
suspensimi of business on account of the precautions adopted
against the cholera. Spain is particular. y strict on this head.
and has recently extended the prohibition to Liverpool as well
as London, through the suspicion that goods might be forwarded
thither for shipment, for the purpose of evading the operation
of the quarantine laws. Many houst4 in extensive business
have not sent out a single ship to that part of the world during
the last six weeks.
