COURT CIRCULAR.-TUESDAY

Sir Robert Peel left his residence in Whitehall-gardens, at
half-past twelve o'clock yesterday, for Windsor Castle, to
have an audience of the Queen. Before leaving town, the
right honourable gentleman visited the Duke of Wellington,
at Apsley House, and had a long interview with the noble
duke. Sir Robert arrived at 'Windsor Castle in an open car-
riage, shortly before four o'clock, and had an audience of
her Majesty. The right honourable baronet remained at the
castle until five o'clock, and then took his departure for
town, arriving in Whitehall-gardens at seven o'clock last
evening.

Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, accompanied by his
Serene Highness Prince Ernest of Hesse Philippsthal and
suite, left town for Sudbury Hall.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge returned to
his residence at Kew, yesterday, from a visit to the Duchess
of Gloucester at Bagshot Park.
Viscount Melbourne arrived at his residence in South-
street, yesterday afternoon, at half-past three o'clock, from
a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle.
WiNnsou.—MONDAY.

This morning her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince
Albert took their accustomed walking exercise.
The Princess Royal has taken an airing.
Lord Alfred Paget, Lord Marcus Hill. Lord Robert Gros-
venor, and the Hon. James Howard have taken their depar-
ture.

This afternoon, at twenty minutes before two o'clock,
Lord Melbourne left the castle, in his travelling carriage and
four, for town ; and for the last time, let us hope, in the
character of Premier.

His lordship, as he rode through the town, looked exceed-
ingly sedate, and apparently resigned to the fate which has
so long awaited him.

Lord Melbourne's carriage was in waiting at the castle for
upwards of an hour before his lordship took his departure,
which was delayed during that period by an unusually
lengthened audience of her Majesty.

Sir Robert Peel arrived at the-castle, from town, in an
open barouche and pair, at half-past three o'clock, and im-
mediately afterwards had an interview with her Majesty,
which lasted nearly an hour.

It is stated, that the right honourable baronet was most
graciously and kindly received by his Sovereign. He took
his departure for London shortly before five o'clock.
Sir Robert was cordially recognised and greeted by several
of the inhabitants as he proceeded through the town to and
from the castle.

A curious " meeting" took place at about half-past two
o'clock this afternoon, on Hounslow Heath, between two no
less important personages than the premier dismissed (or
resigned, if it " sounds better") and the premier (then) in
prospective. The parties recognised and saluted-each other
as the carriages passed on.
The royal carriages were ordered to he in waiting at the
castle at five o'clock, for the purpose of her Majesty taking
an airing ; but they were countermanded for an hour, and at
six o'clock the Queen and the Prince, attended by several of
the household, took an airing, proceeding towards Adelaide
Lodge, and returning iu about an hour.
Her Majesty appeared in excellent health, and better
spirits than usual.
Wednesday next was the last day fixed upon for the court
to proceed, for a week or ten days, to Claremont, in order
that Prince Albert might enjoy some " sport with his dog
and gun" during that period ; but it is now uncertain if her
Majesty will proceed herself to Claremont, in consequence of
late political events. Should the Queen, however, abandon
her original intention for a time, it is more than probable
that his Royal Highness will not forego his long•anticipated
amusements in the field.
