THE COURT,

WINDSOR' SUNDAY EVENING.—The severity of the wea.
ther during the past week has prevented the Queen taking
her accustomed carriage airings in the vicinity of the great
park. Her Majesty, however, accompanied by his royal
highness Prince Albert, has promenaded for a short time
each day in the grounds attached to the castle.
Prince Albert enjoyed several hours' shooting in the royal
preserves on Monday, Wednesday, and yesterday. His
royal highness, accompanied by Lord Charles Wellesley,
Sir Frederic Stovin, Color.el Bouverie, and Mr. G. E. An.
son, had some excellent sport yesterday morning at Cran.
bourne.

Her majesty, after attending divine worship to-day in the
private chapel at the castle, walked with Prince Albert, un-
accompanied by a single royal attendant, through the park
to the new riding school, and returned to the castle to lun-
cheon at two o'clock.

It is most gratifying to observe that both the Queen and
the Prince were looking remarkably well.
The Earl and Countess of Delawarr, accompanied by their
accomplished daughter, the Lady Elizabeth West, took their
departure from the castle, yesterday ; the noble earl having
left instructions for the completion of numerous arrange-
ments connected with the royal christening.
In orderto give every facility for the completion of some
alterations in the private apartments, rendered necessary to
be made for the forthcoming important and joyful event, the
court will take its departure from the castle on Tuesday next,
for Claremont, where it will remain, according to present ar-
rangements, until Saturday. His royal highness is desirous
of enjoying some sport " with his dog and gun" in the well-
stocked preserves of his royal uncle the King of the Belgians.
The young Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal are
both in the enjoyment of very excellent health.
Quadrilles, gallops, &c., were introduced at the Castle on
the evenings of Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, her .and

A Goon EXCUSE.--4n the Court of Sessions, in Scotland,
the judges who do not attend, or give a proper excuse for
their absence, are, by law, liable to a fine. This law, how.
ever, is never enforced, but it is common on the first day of
the session for the absentee to send an excuse to the Lord
.President, Lord Stonefield having sent such an excuse, on
n the president mentioning it. the late Lord Justice Clerk
Blaxfield said, in his broad dialect, '' What excuse can a
stout fellow like him hat ?" "My lord," said the president.
"he has lost his wife." The justice, who was fitted with a
Xantippe, replied, " Has he ? that is a gude exouee; I vial
we tkli a' the ;stns."
