THE KlNG.—Yesterday his MAJESTY con-
siderably extended his dinner party at St. James's Palace,
and this day the number of royal and distinguished guests
will be more numerous than it was yesterday; but to.
morrow the enter tainment will be upon a large and mag-
nificent scale, and will include the Knin's Ministers, their
Ladies, all the friends and associates of his MAJESTY, the
Ambassadors, and the Duke of ORLEANS and his son. In
the evening there will be a grand ball and supper, at
which, it is said, the young Queen of PORTUG A L and her
suite will be present. Next Tuesday is the day fixed upon
by his MAJESTY to leave town for the Royal Cottage ;
there have, however, been so many changes made in the
royal d..tprrnination, that it would excite very little Sur.

prise if the period for the departure of the KING '
were to be
deferred for a few days longer.

On Monday her Royal Highness the Duchess
of KENT had a dinner party at her apartments in Ken-
sington Palace. Amongst the guests were the Prince
LEOPOLD, the Princess SOPHIA, &c. The Tyrolese family,
RAmea, were in attendance, and were received by the
royal and distinguished party in the most flattering manner.
After their performance, her Royal Highness was gra-
ciously pleased to accept of an offering (the portrait of the
great patriot HoFint) ; in return for which, they were,
presented with valuable presents—such as a golden cross
set in pearls and stones, the portraits of their Royal High-
nesses, &c., and were dismissed with the most friendly as-
surance of satisfaction at their performance.

His MAJESTY will give a grand dinner to a
numerous party to-morrow, at his Palace in St. James's.
The same evening a Ball will be given to the juvenile
branches of the Nobility and Gentry.
The Duchess of CLARENCE, the Duchess of
.SAYE WEIMAR, and the Prince and Princess of SAXE
WEIMAR, visited the Princess AUGUSTA yesterday morn-
ing, at her residence, in the King's Palace, St. James's.
The whole party afterwards proceeded to the Adult
Orphans' Concert, at the King's Concei t-rooms, Hanover-
square.

Prince LEOPOLD entertained the Duke of,
ORLEANS and the Duke DE CHARTRES to dinner on Sun-
day, at Marlborough-house, Pall-mall. There were pre-
sent, to meet their Highnesses, the LORD CHANCELLOR
and Lady LYNDHURST, the Duke of WELLINGTON, Earl
GREY, Viscount MELVILLE, Lord HILL, Lord and Lady
DURHAM, Mr. Secretary and Mrs. PEEL, the CHANCEL •
Loa of the EXCHEQUER, and Sir GEO. MURRAY.

Viscount PEDRO BIANCA (late Minister
.rom the Emperor of the BRAZILS to the Court of France)
has arrived in town from Paris. The Viscount has been
presented to the young Queen of PORTUGAL, and had in-
terviews both on Monday and yesterday with the Duke of
I ORLEANS.

The Earl of DARNLEY has presented a peti-
tion, claiming the " Dukedom of Lennox," to his MA-
JESTY, praying his MAJESTY to cause inquiry to be made
into the same. The KING forwarded it to the House of
Lords, as is the usual course in such cases ; and their
Lordships hare directed it to be referred to a Committee
of Privileges.

A Nottingham Correspondent says that the
Nottingham Yeomanry are out and training, but that they
are not very well pleased at the reduction in their pay. kg
CLARE ELECTION.—We understand that a
meeting of certain Aristocrats of Clare took place in
Dublin on Friday.—Major-General Sir AUGUSTINE Fzrz-
GERALD in the Chair. It was, we are told, resolved, that
Mr. VISEY FITZGERALD should be memorialed to offer
himself as a candidate, and that a trusty band of deputies
should forthwith proceed to Clare, to use all endeavours
in their power to obstruct and invalidate the registrie% of
the O'Connellites. There were, we understand, only, very
faint hopes entertained by the knowing ones that a suc-
cessful, issue would attend this experiment.•—Dnbliu

RADICAL REFORM.—We understand, on
good authority, that the Gods of Covent-garden have
accepted the Chiltern Hundreds, to make room for the
Devils in the one shilling gallery, for the benefit of the
Printers' Pension Society this evening.

ST. JAMES'S PARK.—The scheme of acquir-
ing a penny each from every person who wlsted to rest his
limbs in a chair in St. James's Park, is likely to turn out
a complete failure, the Commissioners of Woods and Fo-
rests having given orders for 160 circular benches to be
placed in the most shady situations round the varins
trees, for the accommodation of the public, gratin. On
Saturday several were fixed, and on Sunday we oticed
the penny chairs were kluiost deserted. The remainder
of the seats will be laiace4 as soon as}Bey
can be got ready.

GARDENs.—The Colonel of
KENAINGTON-._
th 4 cgiw.eat 11"-rtoyid Horse Guards has issued orders for
't14"11" P,`. the above Regiment to attend Kensington-
gar'.s every Tuesday and Friday during the present
'7.fason. On Friday last the band took their station near
the Palace, and continued playing favourite airs from four
to six o'clock in the afternoon, to the extreme gratification
of the numerous elegantes who were enjoying the delight-
ful promenade. The musicians complain that they have
no objection to the public hearing their music, gratis, during
the promenade, but that it materially affects them, by pre-
venting their attending to their theatrical engagements OR
those evenings.

Mr. KEELEY and Miss GOWARD ha',e for
some time been united in the bonds of "holy 17,atrirnony."
The first regular announcement, hwev°7l., of that im-
portant event is, we understand, rear rued for the open-
ing- of the English Opera-house. when this young lady
will have her proper cognomen_ in the bills of the play.--,
