THE COURT.

Her Majesty is said to be again in an interesting situa-
tion.

According to private letters from Paris, the Duke and
Duchess of Nemours may be expected in London on
Monday next, on a visit to her Majesty and Prince Albert.
Her Majesty will hold a privy council at Windsor Castle
on Friday next, the 10th instant, at three o'clock, when
it will be ordered that parliament be further prorogued
from Tuesday, the 14th, to some future day, then to meet
for the dispatch of business.

On Saturday his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accom-
panied by Colonel Wylde, visited the Polytechnic Institu-
tion. His royal highness first examined and witnessed
with great interest experiments made with Armstrong's
hydro-electric machine, after which the dissolving views
and the opaque microscope were exhibited ; in the latter
his royal highness seemed to take particular interest,
and more especially in the representation of her Majesty,
from a daguerreotype picture by Beard, placed in an or-
morlu frame. After taking a general view of the institu-
tion, his royal highness departed for Windsor.

AMERICAN DEBT.—The facetious Sydney Smith has
addressed a letter to the Morning Chronicle on the repu-
diation by Pennsylvania, of its state debt. In the course
of it is the following caustic paragraph, " I never meet a
Pennsylvanian at aLondon dinner without feeling a disposi-
tion to seize and divide him—to allot his beaver to one
sufferer and his coat to another—to appropriate his
pocket handkerchief to the orphan, and to comfort the
widow with his silver watch, Broadway rings, and the
" London Guide," which he always carries in his pockets,
How such a man can sit himself down at the English table
without feeling that he owes two or or three pounds to
every man in the company I am at a loss to conceive ; he
has no more right to eat with honest men than a leper has
to eat with clean men. if he has a particle of honour in
his composition, he should shut himself up, and say, " I
cannot mingle with you ; I belong to a degraded people
—I must hide myself; I am a plunderer from Pennsylva-
nia."

vain endeavoured to :get him to remain quiet, while the
g another attempt was made, but it was ineffectual, and,
The gentleman had a son, a child of between three and
four years of age, who observed what was going on from a
window. Being missed shortly afterwards, search was
made for him, and, to the horror of his father, the little
fellow was discovered stooping down within six inches of
the horses's heels, with a pair of scissors in his hand, at-
tempting to cut off the hair. For some time the parent
stood thunderstruck, unable either to move or speak, and,
fortunately, the child seeing him, ran over to him. The
horse, which stood perfectly quiet, now and then looked
behind him, appearing to be mightily pleased with the
puny efforts of the little operator.—Somerset Gazelle,
