THE COURT.

THE KING OF HANOVER.

The Court Gazette states, that her Majesty has had the
• good sense to break through the cold forms of court precedent,
and set an example to mothers by nursing the royal infant.
Prince Albert has been elected Lord High Steward of Ply-
mouth in the room of the late lamented Duke of Sussex. fliit
royal highness's nomination was proposed by a conservative,
and seconded by a whig member of the corporation.
His Majesty the King of Hanover held a levee on Satur-
day, at one o'clock, at his residence in the Ambassadors'
Court, St. James's Palace, for the reception of the Foreign
Diplomatic Corps.
Her Majesty, it is said, will give one state ball at Bucking-
ham Palace previous to the birth-day drawing-room axed for
Thursday, 6th of July. Her Majesty's grand dinner at the
palace, on Wednesday, is in honour of the King of Hanover.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert were to visit Drury Lane
Theatre in state last night (Monday). They have not visited
either that'or Covent Garden Theatre in state since their
marriage in February, 1840.
An alliance is spoken of in the higher circles as likely to
take place between the second daughter of a noble earl who
held a high office in the Melbourne Administration, and the
eldest son of a noble lord and grandson to a Scottish earl of
large possessions. The lady is travelling in Italy with her
noble relatives, but the ceremony, it is said, gill take place
in England.
The Queen will hold a chapter of the most ancient and
most noble order of the Thistle, on Tuesday afternoon, at
Buckingham Palace, when the most noble the Marquis of
Bute, lord high commissioner to the General Assembly of
the Church of Scotland, and the Right Hon. the Earl of
Mansfield, will be elected into the order, vice his Royal
Highness the Duke of Sussex and the Earl Abergavenny, de-

REBECCA AGAIN.—ALARMING STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
--Warrants of distress were issued against the parties fined
for defrauding Water-street gate, and the constables Pro-
ceeded to execute them. They reached Brmcbwith about
seven o'clock this morning, where theywere informed
that
Samuel Bowen was only a lodger with his father, and bad no
effects of his own. The constables then left towards Talog,
but when on the way there they heard the sly of a horn
and immediately between two and tbree hu red persons
assembled together, with their faces bhickened,
some dressed
with their coats turned, so as
in women's caps, and others
to be completely disguised, armed with scythes,
and all manner of destructive weapons which they could lay
their hands on, and after cheering the constables, defied them
to do their duty. The constables then bad DO alternative
but to return to town without executing the warrants. The
women were seen running in all directions to alarm their
neighbours ; and it is supposed that some hundreds more
were concealing themselves behind the hedges; and did not
intend to make their appearance unless their services were
required. We have just seen a person who came through
Talog this morning, and when he passed the village the whole
country seemed to be aroused and waiting the arrival of the
constables, who were going to levy on the premises of John
Harries, of Talog mill, for the amount of the fine and costs
imposed on him by the magistrates for noo-payment of tolls.
There could not have been less than.two hundred persons
assembled to resist the execution of process. and vast num.
bers were flocking there from all quarters. Our informant
states, that on his approaching Talog, a man passed him on
horseback, blowing a horn as a signal to the Rebeceaites to
repair
thither. Various other mounted messengers were
scouring the country and sounding the tocsin of alarm. They
told our iuformant that it was their determination to j.
another levelling visit to this neighbourhood this night for
puose demolishing the gate. The magistratesfor
met
the Town-ball at twelve o'clock to-day, to take the at

with his usual delicacy, took this opportunity,
the true state of the case. George the Third,

secured to him and his successors, and that the junior mein_
bers of the royal family should be suitably provided for. -
The king, we need not say, faithfully fulfilled his part of
the bargain. The hereditary revenues have for eighty
and more formed part of the public income. But has the
nation gained or lost by the bargain ? About ten years ago
Sir R. H. Inglis moved for a return of the hereditary
revenues, by which return it appears that the nation had
gained—we are afraid to say how many mions, but the gain
is certainly enormous, and it is such as irfeft to the junior
branches of the royal family, as great part of it must have
been but for the bargain between the king and parliament,
would have rendered them—numerous as they were in George
the Third's reign—incomparably the richest subjects of the
crown. When, therefore, a demand is made in behalf of any
of these junior members, it is a demand not of favour, but
of right—a demand of the fulfillment of a bargain by %chid,
the country has been a prodigious gainer. As to Mr. Hume'.
notable project of robbing the King of Hanover, because his
majesty is an independent sovereign, the answer is, that the
King of Hanover's British revenue is his patrimony, se-
cured to him by his father—a patrimony over which the
parliament has no more rightful power than it has over the
Duke of Devonshire's estates, and we suppose Mr. Hume
does not claim a power over that.
