COURT INTELLIGENCR.

BRIGHTON, WIDINZSDAYO.••IIis Majesty visited the foot barracks,
in Church-street, at an early hoer this mowing. He generally walks
in the Palace grounds every morning. Yesterday the Bing, accom-
panied by the Princess Augusta, the Marpavine of Hew Homburg,
and Lady Augusta Flue.larence, drove in an open carriage and four
for several hours. Her Majesty, the Duke of Cambridge, Prince
George, and Miss Fitsclarence, and suite, rode on horseback. Lady
Augusta and Colonel Frederick Fitsclatent*, are among the last ar.
rivals at the Palace. At three o'clock this day his Majesty, ac-
companied by Sir H. Taylor, Col. Frederick Fitrziarence, and Col.
D'Este, drove in an open carriage and four throughithe town for m-
ural hours. Her Majesty rode on horseback, with the Duke of Cam.
bridge, Prince George, and a numerous suite. General Jackson had
the honour of dining with their Majesties yesterday.

The sojourn of the King in this place will not, in all pro-
bability, extend to one quarter of the time which the good folks here so
confidently anticipate. Besides that I have good information to this
effect, the following true narration will serve to show that the rock
upon which they have founded their faith is one of sand ; and I venture to
give it more that it is not a little characteristic of the illustrious Personage
in question. A friend of mine, who arrived here a day or two ago by one of
the London coaches, overheard the following colloquy between the coach.
man and one of his Majesty's grooms, who sat on the box beside
him Well," said the coachman, " will your master stick to
the Pavilion as long as the Brighton folks say he shall ?"
" Humph ! the Brighton folks are fools, and know just as
much about it as I do; and that's just nothing at alL"—" But
they say he has given some of their nobs a Dort of promise to stay three
or four months." " But hasn't a man a right to change his mind ? I
should think so; and he's one as changes his mind whenever he likes,
and that's very often—and that doesn't stick at a thing If be takes
it into his bead. I shouldn't be surprised if we were all ordered
to pack off somewhere or other to-morrow."—" Well, but does not
be say that no other place agrees so well with his health ?"
" Humph! I only know just this; that none of us knows at break.
fast time where we shall have our dinners ; for we are obliged to hold
ourselves in readiness every day, to pack and be off at a minute's
notice." This seemingly satisfied the coachman, and silenced a fat
elderly townsman of our's, who sat behind him, and had prompted these
" spearing," at " one of the household ;" though he appeared to
think the information he had thus obtained by no means agreeable,
and not at all according to his notions of the "rights of things;" for
he sulkily observed—" It's my opinion that it would be d—d ungen.
tlemanly in any man that is a gentleman, whether he be a King or a
clown, to fly 4 from his word in that manner." No one expressed their
acquiescence in this opinion; and the economy of Prince Leopold be.
came the " topic of conversation," arising out of a remark of my friend
aforementioned, in admiration of two fine grays, the leaden in the team,
which bad, at one time, been the property and great favourites of his
Serene Highness. At present it is his Majesty's intention to make the
Pavilion his abode until the 26th of the next month, when he will
go to London, for the purpose of opening the Parliament, and
after a stay there of a week or a fortnight, return hither; but
for how long a time is • matter of utter uncertainty. His
Majesty is at present afflicted with rheumatism in one of his
hands, for the relief of which he is taking a course of warm baths.
31onsieur Mahomed has the honour of having his bath selected by bis
Majesty for the purpose. The Brighton tradespeople have good reason
to pray for a long continuance of the King amongst them, for, as I am
credibly informed, his Majesty, with that considerateness, liberality, and
impartiality, which are not amongst the least of his many estimable
qualities, has given directions that the patronage of the Court shall not,
as in the late reign, be confined exclusively to a few particular trades-
men, but that they shall all, as far as possible may be, experience in
their turns the benefit of supplying the household with their several
and respective commodities. Yesterday we had very stormy weather
here. That, coupled with the occurrence of one of those high tides
common at this season, caused some interest for the fate of the
remaining portions of the new wall under the East Cliff, and
many persons braved the wind and the rain, AM took their stations on
the cliff above, in the hope of having their curiosity gratified by wit-
nessing the demolition of what little of it does remain. They were, how-
ever, disappointed. This wall, the estimated expense of which wu
3,0001,
but which, although the Commissioners who were appointed
to superintend its erection, do not choose to confess as much, in
reality cost ten thousand, or something like it, was not yet finished
when the greater part of it yielded to the incessant assault of the wave,
and fell, carrying part of the cliff with it. Of course a new wall le
to be built, and there is much contention of parties respecting the
plan now to be adopted. The all-sufficient wisdom of the Commis-
sioner*, however, scorns alike the advice of their neighbours and the les-
sons of experience, and the new wall, as I am informed by a party
deeply interested in the matter, is to be erected on the same principle as
the last. Brighton continues as full as ever, but is not, as some of its in.
judicious flatterers would make it appear, so full but it can accommodate
in its most "leading streets and squares" as many fresh visitors as may
choose to make the experiment.

This morning as the workmen were elevating the new
statue of George the Third, in the Royal Exchange, the
tackle gave way and the statue came to the ground, which
materially injured it.

It is not generally known that the King expressed a strong
wish to save the life of late Captain Moir ; but that Sir ltobt. Peel,
feeling the unfortunate man was a fit object for example, persisted in his
determination, (in the absence of any recommendation on the part of
Lord Tcntcrden, who tried Moir,) to let the law take its course.
The Prince and Princess Carolath, with family and suite.
from Silesia, have strived at Mimes Hotel; also the Baron Muschwitz
and suite, from Breslow.

Prince Polignac'e children have left Slindon-honee. They
are now In Loudon with their aunt, the Hon. Mn. Macdonald.

bonne church, by the Rev. Robert Anderson, Capt. Edward C. Fletcher,
of the Ist Life Guards, son of Edward Fletcher, Esq. of Park-street,
London, and Contra, N. B. to the Hon. Ellen Mary Shore, youngest
daughter of Lord Teignmouth.
MFts OWEN'S MEETING.—The name of the Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs—Lord Aberdeen—was accidentally omitted
in our list yesterday, as one of the Committee appointed to carry the
important objects of that Meeting into effect. We ought also to have
stated, that all the resolutions, after the first, were put separately—and
that all of them were carried unanimously, except the first, upon which
an amendment was proposed ; but which was ultimately carried by an
immense majority.
The recent proceedings in France, and the signal defeat
which our Ministers have sustained in the elections just ended, have de-
termined them, in order to strengthen the Treasury Benches, to bring
forward, in the early part of the ensuing Session' one or two measures
of a popular nature. The first object contemplated is to neutralise the
sticklers for Radical Reform, and at the same time to secure the support
of the Moderates. This, it is calculated, will be effectually done by
presenting a member, perhaps two each, to Manchester, Sheffield, and
Birmingham; probably one or two other populous towns (why not
Brighton ?) may also be included. This sop for Cerberus will, doubt-
less, have its due weight with some ; with us, knowing the motives
which compel Ministers to take this step, it will be viewed as the sha-
dow of honest feeling, not its reality. The next temporizing step will
be to countenance a bill, which Mr. Brougham has been for some time
preparing, to regulate Church property. It is a motive of conciliation
which induces Ministers to aid Mr. Brougham in this important mea-
sure, and may certainly be considered as no silent acknowledgment of
their own weakness.—Brighios GoactM.
