THE COURT.

Some of our Kentish contemporaries have announced that
preparations are making for the arrival of the Queen at Wei-
mer Castle. We can assure our readers no symptoms what-
ever are, us yet, apparent of a royal visit to that place ; and,
moreover, the new yacht is preparing for sea, with all possible
expedition, in order to enable her majesty to visit the princi-
pal seaports in her dominions, during the ensuing autumn--

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT.—We are in-
formed that his Royal Highness Prince &belt has fixed
Wednesday, the I9th of July. for his visit to our city, to be
present at the launch of the Great Britain, the stupendous
sister ship to the Great Western. We have little doubt he
will be accompanied by a splendid retinue ; neither do we
doubt that the directors will seize the opportunity to bring to
Bristol the members of the Cabinet, the Lords of the Admi-
ralty, foreign Ambassadors, and the principal persons of the
Royal households. Mr. Hazard, we find, has charge of the
banquet to be given on the occasion at the company's works.
We congratulate our fellow-citizens. and all the west of Eng-
land and South Wales, on the prospect before them for one
of those displays of loyalty for which Bristol has ever been
conspicuous. Mr. Hazard says he has to make arrangements
for a splended supper,-a main accompaniment to a ball at.the
Victoria-rooms, on the nieht of this auspicious day, when
Mr. Weippert's services will ba in request.—Bristol Mirror.
THE INTENDED ROYAL MARRIAGE.—The nuptials of
her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta of Cambridge with
his Serene Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Meck-
lenburg Strelitz are, it is understood, now finally arranged
to take place on Wednesday the 28th instant, (next Wed-
nesday fortnight). It is anticipated that the interesting
ceremony will be performed at Buckingham Palace, and it
is already known that the illustrious bride and bridegroom
will proceed, after the conclusion of the ceremonial, to the
residence of the Duke of Cambridge at Kew, to spend the
honeymoon. At Ken' arrangements are already in active
progiess for making the auspicious occasion a general holiday;
and in order that all classes of her Majesty's,subjects may
join in the general rejoicing, dinners will be given to the poor
of the neighbourhood, the houses will he decorated with flags
and evergreens, triumphal arches will be erected, royal sa-
lutes fired, and in the evening the leading and most influential
of the inhabitants will dine together, and the houses will be
brilliantly illuminated.

`We understand that Lord Granville Somerset and his as
sociates have at length sent into the treasury a report res-
pecting the Customs Department of the port of London ;
but of course the contents will not be suffered to transpire
until the Lords of the Treasury have had time to consider
the recommendations of the commissioners. The domestic
calamity which has just befallen the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer will necessarily delay the matter for a few days.—
Standard.

There was a considerable number of ladies, amongst them
Lady Lyndhurst, below the bar of the house of lords on
Friday night. Some of them called upon Lord Brougham,
who had been engaged in animated conversation with them.
for a speech. His lordship most obligingly consented, and
had the honour of exhibiting to the King of Hanover the
extraordinary versatility of his principles. His majesty, no
doikbt, still entertains a very lively recollection of some of the
noble lord's earlier performances.—Globe.

The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone's appointment to the
presidency and the Earl of Dalhousie's to the vice-presidency
of the Board of Trade were completed at the Privy Council
held by her Majesty at Buckingham Palace on Saturday last.
These appointments are made by minutes on the command of
the Sovereign in the books of the Council merely. Mr. Glad-
does not, we understand, receive any profit or emolument
from the presidency of the Board of Trade ; and the state-
ment which has been circulating in the Irish papers, that the
Earl of Dalhousie is indebted for his appointment to his con-
nection by marriage with his Grace the Duke of Wellington,
is, we we are enabled to add on high authority, without the
smallest foundation ; the illustrious duke had, we are assured,
no more to do with the appointment than Mr. Fox Maule, the
noble earl's Whig kinsman. Connection by blood or mar-
riage with the Duke of Wellington is by no means the readi-
est or the easiest step to official employment or promotion,
as indeed more than one of his grace's relatives can testify.
