FASHIONABLE. AND MISCELLANEOUS.

BRIGHTON, FEB. B.—His MAJESTY'S spirits are
so essentially amended, that his music, and evening's
converse with his suite, are now a source of exhilarat-
ing pleasure to him.

The Duke of Wellington, to return to town, left
the Palace at half-past nine o'clock yesterday morning.
His Grace was followed by Sir Herbert Taylor in the
earlier part of this day. The latter had the honour of
dining with the KING and suite last evening,- when
the grand concert-room was illuminated, but not the
hanquetting-room; dinner, at seven o'clock, being
served up in an apartment of smaller dimensions. An
erroneous opinion has obtained publicity,---and even
the press has been deceived by it,7-that the interior
of the Pavilion is gas-lighted ; but such is not the case,
and never has been. Chinese lamps, with oil, and
argand burners, ai e common in almost all of the rooms.
The magnificent lamps, chandeliers, and candelabra,
in the state apartments, have no supply from gas,what-
ever ; but gas is used, and with 'admirable effect,
on the exterior of the palace exclusively.
In addition to the Earl of Harrowby and Lord Vis-
count Melville, His MAJESTY gave the Duke of
Wellington an audience, after the Council, on Mon-
day evening.
Mr. Canning is not so well to-day as he was yes-
terday, but strong hopes are yet entertained' that he
will be convalescent in a day or two.
Lady Howard of Effingham, the Dowager Countess
of Newburgh, -Mr.-and Lady Ann Murray, Lord and
Lady Gage, the Marquis of Granby, and Mrs. Coutts,
left their names at the Palace yesterday and to-day. ,

The account of the state of the Duke of Sussex yes-
terday, was, " His Royal Highness was much better." The
Royal Duke, we regret to say, is-not yet able to leave hie room.
In the late Duke of York's • wardrobe,• the robes,
&e. worn by his Royal Highness when a boy were found, which
are understood to be the only robes 'remaining belonging to any of
the Royal Family, which they wore in their juvenile days.
Yesterday the Brazilian Charge d'Affaires transacted
business ut -the Foreign Office.
Wednesday the Earl of Harrowby gave the first
Cabinet Dinner since the Parliamentary season, which was at-
tended by all the Cabinet Ministers, with the exception of the
Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Liverpool, and Mr. Canning. The
Earl of Liverpool joined the party
.soon after dinner, having
dined early.
Lieutenant-General Sir Herbert Taylor, Military
Secretary to his Grace the Duke of Wellington, Commander-in-
Chief, held a Levee yesterday, at his Office, in the. Horse Guards.
Sir F. Burdett was again in the House of Com-
mons yesterday; he walked with a stick, and was evidently lame
in one of his feet.

Yesterday Julian Busby, Esq. was called to the Bar,
by the Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn.

A memorial to Francis Freeling, Esq. of the Gene-
ral Post-office, is now circulating, submitting to the Post-Master-
General the advantages that would result from extending the new
Mail from London through Lincolnshire to Hull,frcm thence to New-
castle, through Bridlington, Scarborough, Whitby, Guisborough,
and Stockton ; by which means the facility of intercourse with
those ports and London, &c. would be greatly increased. We
understand it is suggested, that the North Mail should leave Hull
at 5 p.m. or one hour after the arrival of the London Mail; and
reach Hull each morning about 9 a.m. in time for the London
Mail.—Lincoln Mercury.
