TYE KING'S COURT.

BRIGHTON, Pas. 4.
I sent you last night a considerable enumeration of the
distinguished persons present at the Grand Juvenile Ball at
the Palace. The families of the distinguished personages,
;C:11ly to the notification, between the ages of four and
,) as before mentioned, numbered about two hundred.
Dancing was suspended soon after ten o'clock, and the ju-
veniles were conducted to the baniuetting-room, where re-
freshments.ware served to their MAJIBTIIII, the Petit-
eness, the two Princes GIORGI, the Duchess of CUM-
SIMLA D, and the company generally. The at-
tentions of her MAJUTT to her youthful guests were of
the most fascinating and enduring description, and must
have made a lasting impression upon the minds of all present.
The ball-room was soon the scene of action, and dancing re-
newed with undiminished ardour. At 12 o'clock their MA-
JUTIES, the Royal Family, &c. Mt down to a sumptuous
supper, combining every rarity and delicacy the country could
▪ ; after which they returned to the ball-mom, where
dancing was kept until two o'clock, when their MAJESTIES
retired, and were soon followed by the entire company.
Their MAJBSTIZS appeared in good health and charming
spirits. and delighting was the influence which their affabili-
ties and condescensions produced.
After the repast the younger members of the happy throng
retired, many reluctantly, while those of riper years re-
mained, and again figured joyously in the merry dance, is
which the two Princes Groans were active and skilful par-

ticipators.
The graceful exercise during the latter part of the enter-
tainment was also pursued by the polished adults : but the
company generally began to retire soon after one o'clock,
their M A JISTI Se and Royal Snits having witbdrawn earlier.

The remembrance of this royal fete will long live in the
hearts of those happy beings, for whose entertainment it
was given, and adds another to the many instances of kind
and paternal regard evinced by their majesties towards the
rising generation.
The company at the ball last night are at this time sac-
' cessively leaving their names at the Palace.
Mr. CHARLIE' Goan had the honour of being included in
the Evening Party at the Pavilion last night.

The weather is tempestuous, the wind in the S.W. with
driving rein. The carriages are ordered to the grand en-
trance of the Palace : it is probable, therefore, that their
MAJZSTIRS will take a ride.

On Wednesday a numerous and respectable meeting took
place et the City of London Tavern, of the merchants and
blinkers of London, Sir R. Glyn in the chair ; at which it
was resolved to present petitions to both Houses of Parlia-
ment, " to adopt some measures of temperate reform, with
a view to preserve and improve our existing institutions ;"
and also" to implore the aid of Parliament in assisting the
Government in their expressed intentions of effecting a re-
trenchment in the public expenditure." Earl Spencer was
requested to present the petition to the Lords, and Alderman
Thompson to the Commons. Several most influential names
are already attached to the petition.
A meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Devises
was held on Wednesday, at the Bear-inn there (R. Wayler,
Esq. in the chair), to consider the propriety of petitioning
Parliament for reform and retrenchment. Several gentlemen
addressed the meeting on these subjects, aßer which resolu-
tions were proposed, complaining of the undue influence
exercised in returning members to the House of Commons,
which, they elated, could not truly represent the nation,
while it, the House, continued in its present condition,
They also alleged that the members for the county of Wilts•
were, in fact, returned by 660 voters, though the 13 bo-
roughs which possessed the elective franchise, contained a
population of more than 36,000 persons. Some forcible re-
marks were made in favour of reform by several gentlemen,
and one of them, speaking figuratively of the vessel of the
state, aptly remarked that its principal timbers were infected
with the borough rot. A petition founded on the above
resolutions was agreed to.
A meeting was held on Monday last at the Town Hall,
Sberborne, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament to
reform the representation of the people in the House of
Commons.

The following are the reeolutions that were passed:
“ 1. That the representation of die people is the Howse of Gomm
