THE COURT.
[From tbe " Home .News "June !2t>tn.J The Queen left Balmoral on- the 2nd of June for Windsor Castle, where she arrived on the 3rd. "During Her Majesty's stay at Balmoral,' says a weekly coatemporary, " she was favoured with remarkably fine weather ; the season and the climate both combined to present this favourite seat under an entirely new aspect. But Balmoral, in all things, was too intimately associated with memories of the late Prince Consort not to call up frequently a painful sense of her bereavement to the royal widow in spite of the brightest sunshine. Many little external alterations — the result of the directions of the Prince when he left Balmoral in the autumn — , as well as rearrangements in the private rooms, not unfrequently produced a fresh outburst of sorrow. The first visit must, necessarily, have been a painful one to tbe Queen." At Windsor her Mrjesty took daily drives inthe vicinity of the park. She is not yet, however, equal to much walking exercise, or to any exertion beyond the transaction of necessary business. •• • After her return to Windsor, the Queen fr«
puently visited the Royal Mausoleum at Frog* more, and appeared deeply interested in the qrogress of this intended resting-place for her Koyal Consort. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales arrived in England at noon the 14th June, on his return from the East. He had reached Paris from Marseilles at a pretty late hour on the llth. On the morning of the 12tb his royal highness, accompanied by Earl Cowley, Sir Charles Phipps, Colonel Keppel, and Major Teesdale, set out for Fontainbleau. The Emperor Napoleon, accompanied by his aidedecarap went at noon to the railway station to meet the Prince, while the Empress awaited him at the Palace of Fontaiubleau. The Prince break* fasted with the Emperor and Empress, and the party afterwards had a carrige drive iv the forest. At half-past three o'clock, their Majesties reconducted the Prince to the railway station, and a special train conveyed him to Paris. The Prince of Wales left Paris for Boulogne on the. 13th. On his arrival at Boulogne the weather was so bad that it was thought advisable to put to sea, and apartments were therefore taken for the night at the Hotel dv Bain. Next morning he crossed to Folkstoue in the Admiralty yacht, Vivid. A very great number of persons were present on the quay and on the platform, bat the corporation ofFoikstone did not present any address.
