THE COURT. THE Queen, Prince and Princess Christian, and the younger branches of the Royal family are at Balmoral, vnjoying the rural scenery of that wild and beautiful country. One evening her Majesty, accompanied by the young Princesses, the ladies in waiting, and the Hon. Lord Charles Fitzroy, drove from Balmoral along the south side of the river Dee, through the village of Brae- mar. At a short distance beyond the village, along the Duchlaish Drive, emerging from the Glencluny and Cairnweil-road to Blairgowrie, the Royal party halted, and had a picnic amongst the heather on the side of the hill. After a short stay the Royal cortege drove through the Duchlaish," and by the Lion's Face," to the Highland Palace. The evening was delightful, and her Majesty appeared to be in excellent health and spirits. THE Prince and Princess of Wales are in Germany. The Court Journal says :—Her Royal Highness is taking baths at her house daily at Wiesbaden, and though her knee is quite stiff, her Royal Highness is looking better, and rather stouter. She takes drives daily, and may be seen on the balcony of her residence playing with her children. The Prince is everywhere. He bathes and breakfasts every other day at the Hotel de la Rose lounges, and chats, and gossips pleasantly and unaf- fectedly with his friends risks a few gold pieces at the tables, walks about in the crowds alone, takes his coffee under the trees atthe Kursal, and isnot in anyway annoyed either by foreigners or the English. He looks well, full of health and enjoyment, and has a pleasant, restless way of easily getting through the day. As the chasse 'oramenced in Nassau on the 24th, and there is plenty ? game, it is anticipated he will have some shooting in the Royal, formerly the Ducal, domains. The Prince and Princess and suite occupy three houses near to each other The King of the Greeks is also there. The Earl of Clarendon is seeking his annual relief from the gout. At Homburg we have the Prince and Princess Edward ot Saxe-Weimar, the Duke of Rutland, the Duke and luchess of Manchester, and a host of inferior titles. flt Baden-Baden the French, of course, predominate, And as the time for the races approaches, rooms become ;iore difficult to get, and their prices rise. During the races the Prince of Wales will be the guest of the Duchess of Hamilton at Baden-Baden. The Duke of Cambridge is at Rumpenheim, where he pays frequent risita to Homburg and Wiesbaden. THE apartments occupied by General Grey in and ad- joining the Norman gateway in Windsor Castle, looking into the tastefully-decorated flower-garden at the base of e Round Tower, have been undergoing considerable 'nlargement, repairs, and improvements for several iionths past-Mr. Salvin being the architect, and Mr. Meyers the builder. The alterations consist of the en- largement of nearly every room in the building, more particularly the drawing, sitting, dining, and bedrooms occupied by the family of the general. This part of the castle commands a fine and extensive view over the neighbouring counties of Buckinghamshire and Oxford- shire. The re-arrangement of the passages and the ex- tension of all the domestic offices has also been decided on the whole of which alterations will be completed by the return to the castle of the general, with her Majesty and Royal family, from Scotland, in October ext.
