COURT INTELLIGENCR.

TIIE KING.-At half-past ten yesterday morning, the
King, accompanied by Sir William Fremantle, left the
Castle, and proceeded through the different Parks, on a
general inspection of the rides and drives belonging to
them, which occupied his Majesty till half-past three
o'clock. On his return to the Castle his Majesty partook
of some refreshment, after which, a pony phaeton being
in readiness, his Majesty, accompanied by his Royal
sister, the Duchess of Gloucester, drove to the Royal
Lodge. The Queen and some of the distinguished visite!,
were of the party. Her Majesty rode on horseback. After
inspecting every part of the Royal Lodge, their Majesties
and illustrious party proceeded to Cumberland Lodge,
which they also minutely examined, as well as the ex-
tensive gardens and hot-houses belonging thereto. Their
Majesties expressed themselves highly pleased with the
good order and regularity that reigned throughout, and
with the rapid progress that had been made of late. This
forenoon their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess
of Cumberland, and Prince George of Cumberland, ar-
rived at the Castle, on a visit to their Majesties, a itl,
whom it is expected they will pass some time. The band
of the .sth Dragoons, stationed here, have been in
attendance every evening at the Castle.
The Duke and Prince George of Cambridge, accent
parried by the Landgravine of Hesse Homberg, embarked,

conveyed the Royal party to Deptford, where their Royai
Highnesses landed about five o'clock on Monday after-
noon, and immediately proceeded with their suite, in mix
carriages, to Cambridge House, Piccadilly, where every
thing was prepared for their Royal Highnesses' recep-
tion, although they were not expected till yesterday.
About ten o'clock the Duke of Cumberland, who had
been entertaining a party to dinner to meet Prince Au-
gustin of Prussia, came from his residence in the King's
Palace, St. James's, and made his congratulations to his
Royal relatives on their arrival.
The Princess Augusta came to town yesterday morn
ing, from her residence at Frogmore : and the Princess
Sophia, from the King's palace at Kensington. The
Princesses went to Cambridge House to congratulate th..
Landgravine, and the Duke and Prince George of Cam-
bridge, on their arrival in England.
The Duke of Cambridge, accompanied by his son,
walked out yesterday, and visited the Duchess of Cum-
berland at the King's palace, St. James's.
About four o'clock yesterday afternoon the Landgra-
vine, the Princess Augusta, the Duke and Prince George

The Duke of Wellington left town yesterday, for

Earl of Aberdeen yesterday, at the Foreign-office.
The Marquis of Santa Amaze, Ambassador from the
Emperor of Brazil, visited the Earl of Aberdeen on

the Foreign-office on Monday.
The patent has arrived appointing J. H. North Del.
to be Judge of the Irish Court of Admiralty, vice Sir J.
Barrington, dismissed.—Evening Post.
It has been matter of speculation whether the late
King's initials G. R. would continue to be used as the
initials of his present Majesty, as being the first letters
of the words " Gulielmus Rex ;" or a hether the letter
W. would take the place of the G. In the reign of
I King William the Third the initials W. R. were used,
and it is, no doubt, in the recollection of many of our
legal readers that, in the East window of Lincoln's Inn
chapel, there are the arms of King William the Third,
with the Dutch arms in the centre, and, at the outside of
the shield, the letters W. R.
His Royal Highness the Prince Augustus of Prussia
arrived in town, quite unexpectedly, on Saturday last.
His Royal Highness left Berlin with the intention of
going to Paris ; but, having heard, on his way, of the
momentous events in France, he altered his route for
London. The Prince honoured the Prussian Minister
with his company to dinner on Sunday, to meet a select
party of his countrymen.
It is an undoubted fact that the infatuated Charles, on
the very day of his flight to Saint Cloud, betook himself
to his favourite amusement of shooting; and that, on the
very same evening, he was playing at cards, while the
sound of the cannonade in Paris could be distinctly heard
in the room where he was sitting. This cannot fail to
remind one of Nero fiddling and Rome on fire !
An extraordinary meeting of the council of the Metro-
politan Political Union, summoned by special requisition,
took place last evening, at the Committee-room, Mr.
Abraham Booth being in the chair. A resolution passed
the meeting to the effect, that Messrs. Gale Jones and
Taylor, who had become members on the evening of
public meeting, had ceased to be members of the Union,
having spoken language discountenanced by the laws of
the Union.

On the second day of the Salisbury races, the country
people attacked the " thimble rig," and other black-leg
gentry, amounting to between 200 and 300, and, after a
regular engagement, drove them completely off the Course.
The Nuremberg Correspondent of the 2d contains
some speculations on the interference of Russia in the
affairs of Greece. Prince Lieven it appears had fallen
under suspicion, but was able to prove that he had acted
according to his instructions in the whole affair. It is
said he is to be made Foreign Minister. The Court of
Russia, the Nuremberg Paper adds, is determined to come
to a final settlement of Greek affairs without delay.
PRINCE POLIGN AC.—.LUDIC ROCS M MAR a.—The
arrival last night, at a late hour, of Count Potocki,
brother to the Countess Woronzow, at Mivart's Hotel,
Lower Brook-street, was the cause of a laughable
mistake, which excited some little confusion.
The Count and suite, it appeared, arrived about half-past
ten, in two carriages, direct from Paris, and during the
conveyance of the luggage into the hotel, a crowd
gathered around the equipage. The proceedings
in France still being uppermost in the minds of
all classes, and those engaged in the service of
the Count speaking French, some degree of
curiosity was excited among the by-standers to know
who the great personage was. The exteriors of the
carriages were examined, and the letters " S.P." being
found on one of them, it immediately struck several that
it could be no other than Prince Polignac travelling
ineog. This being whispered about, the belief became
general among those surrounding the Hotel, and the
news of the Prince's arrival in England was spread far
and wide. The rumour shortly reached us ; but, on
making inquiry, we were assured by the worthy pro-
prietor of the hotel in question, that the rumour was
without the slightest foundation, and that in truth Count
Potocki was the nobleman whose initials had been mis-
taken for those of Prince Polignac.
