Buckingham palace was thronged with most respecta-
bly dressed persons, and the greatest interest was mani-
fested to obtain a view of her majesty and her illustriog
consort. Shortly after one o'clock, the carriages of tof
foreign ambassadors and ministers, the great officers
state and the household, and those having the privilege
of the entree, began to arrive in quick succession. The/
all came in full state ; the splendour of the equipages, 813.!
gorgeous liveries of the servants created universal selgilf..
ration and presented a most brilliant spectacle. The 14
ferent members of the royal family came in full stater,
shortly before two o'clock. Sir R. Peel and most o,f.
the other cabinet ministers also arrived at the palace about
the same time. The speaker of the house of common'
arrived in state a few minutes before two. Her rusiesti'

three of the royal carriages, escorted by a detachment o'
the Royal Horse Guards Blue. On arriving at St•
James's Palace, the band stationed in the gardens PlaYie
the national anthem. As the royal corle'lle proceeded
through the park, her majest) and the prince consorti/r
loudly and enthusiastically cheered, which the sovereign
and his royal highness garciously acknowledged by repel'',

prince appeared in excellent health and spirits.—Standard,
RATHER AWKWARD. At her Majesty's levee o.ll_
Wednesday, several gentlemen were disappointed in them
presentation to the Queen, in consequence of not having.
borne in mind that the court was in mourning for the
demise of Prince Albert's father. The difficulty was easilY:
obviated by the officers of the army and navy, the house-
hold, deputy-lieutenants, &c., by placing crape round the
left arm ' • but not so with those who were dressed r
claret-coloured coats, with steel buttons, white silk stock'
ings, &c.

HER MAJESTv'-
-levee for 'l-

THE QUEEN'S NEW SUMMER HOUSE.—Six Of the
frescoes, which have been some time in progress, to de-
corate the new summer temple in Buckingham Palace
gardens, are completed. The poem illustrated is tbe
Masque of Comus. The eight artists charged with their
execution are, Messrs. Eastlake, Leslie, Stanfield, Ettlr
Maclise, Uwins, and Sir William Ross. The building
a rustic octagon, standing on the top of an artificial bill.
LIBERALITY OF HER MAJESTY.—It is stated the
" Lady Augusta Fitzclarence, sister of the Earl of Mun-
ster, is to be united to Count Boude, a Swedish noble-
man of large fortune and very ancient family." The
large family of the Fitzclarences (the progeny and des':
cendants of his late Majesty William IV. by Mrs. Jurdeh,,„)
are now in the receipt of £25,000 a year (some say 00V
XlO,OOO per annum, butwe think the sum we have name
nearer the mark), which is liberally divided moot
them, to support their state and dignity, by Her Maiesl7
the Queen. We may observe that the Queen has, in the
most handsome and liberal manner, contributed to the
Fitzclarence family, ever since her accession to the throne!,
the same amount yearly which was allowed to the sever'
members by her illustrious uncle.— Times.
THE LATE DUKE OF SAYE-COBURG GoTHA.--1
have to record, with feelings of deep regret, the result .
a careless accident which has deprived the world of a fine,
work of art, and his Royal highness Prince Albert of ett
of those solaces under his heavy parental loss which ouu
those can appreciate who have suffered a similar bereave
went. The bust of his late lamented father, comple.tr
at Windsor Castle by Mr. Francis, under the imniecilete
superintendence of the Prince himself, has been uttery ;
annihilated and destroyed through the negligence of tb
•
person employed to convey the model to town, in order
to its execution in marble. The carrier who was to be"
stle charge of this valuable parcel was called to Windsor Ca ~;s
on Friday week, and not only shown the nature of i!'e
trust, but informed of the great care that was requier,4
for its conveyance to the studio of the sculptor. Judge "
that sculptor's surprise when, on being called up early
Saturday morning to receive the results of his an%ieh„
tv
labours, to find them a heap of ruins. The case in whlej
the bust was contained had been thrown from end to
and side to side till the plastic modeller's clay had lost ri;
living form it possessed at Windsor, and become
less mass of gray mould.
