TV's ''World News Tonight'' led the evening-news audience-popularity ratings last week for the first time in its history, excluding the atypical week of the Republican National Convention last summer. The newscast edged out ''The CBS Evening News,'' which has long dominated the ratings.

While the senior United States official began his detailed briefing on happenings at the summit meeting 40 miles away, his aides quietly scurried among the hundreds of attentive, news-hungry journalists in the auditorium. With whispers, nods and little torn pieces of paper as their tools, the aides were inviting selected journalists to ''private'' meetings in rooms upstairs. There, like a news assembly line, President Reagan's Cabinet secretaries and advisers, hurriedly flown to town for the meetings, gave journalist after journalist their detailed American version of events at the isolated meetings of seven Western leaders. Each meeting with a reporter carefully included a dose of ''inside'' information.Within an hour, complete transcripts of the briefings and broadcast interviews were available downstairs along with ''pool'' reports from reporters at the distant meeting site, Chateau Montebello.

LET all those who insist that television news is overly preoccupied with troubles and disasters hold their peace - if not forever, at least for the next week or so. Britain's royal wedding of Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer takes place on Wednesday, and the scheduled clutter of fluff is reaching unprecedented proportions. Many will doubtlessly find the bridal blitz diverting. Others, perhaps longing for another Mark Twain who might remind us of our anti-monarchist roots, may find the electronic frenzy disgraceful. In any case, coping with the usual summer-programming doldrums, television is diligently beating the drums for what NBC might call another Big Event. The extent of the planned coverage is almost staggering. On the morning of the wedding, of course, the three networks will be signing on at 4:30 or 5 o'clock with prominent members of their own royalty: Dan Rather, Barbara Walters, Tom Brokaw, David Hartman, Jane Pauley and Peter Jennings. They will be joined by an assortment of experts on British matters: Robert Morley, Peter Ustinov, Antonia Fraser, David Frost. The live transmissions are expected to last until about 9:30 A.M.

There were actually two conferences in Ottawa: the summit conference of the Big Seven, which was held down on the Ottawa River flat at the Chateau Montebello; and the Cellar Conference of the 1,500 media types, which was held in a basement on the summit of Parliament Hill. Following are notes from the cellar on the summit: * Symbols: Everything met the careful plans and timetable of the Canadian Government here except the clock on the magnificent Parliament Peace Tower, which like most peace structures these days is out of commission for repairs. It was stuck at 12 o'clock. Is it noon or is it midnight for the Alliance of the Free Nations? This is what the Seven, in their anxieties, would like to know.

The bitter takeover battle between the Nu-West Group of Calgary, Alberta, and the Cities Service Company heated up as Nu-West, the target of a Cities Services suit last year, filed a $1 billion (Canadian) counterclaim against the company and its president, Charles J. Waidelich. Attorneys for the Nu-West Group, a real estate and natural resources concern, filed the lawsuit Monday in United States District Court in Tulsa, Okla., where Cities Service is based, contending that Cities Service and Mr. Waidelich had illegally interfered with stock sales and injured Nu-West's reputation through ''the press, their lawsuit against Nu-West, their letters to Cities Service shareholders and other methods.''

As the House was voting today to condemn President Reagan's proposed cuts in minimum Social Security benefits, one Democratic strategist said, ''The press releases are already written that will be sent into the district of every Republican who votes against this bill.'' On the steps of the Capitol, Senator Alan Cranston, Democrat of California, was telling a rally of elderly people that only four Republicans had supported a vain attempt in the Senate today to restore that minimum benefit payment. The Democrats have been consistently frustrated this year in trying to raise issues and force separate votes on the Republican budgetcutting package. The Social Security issue provides their first chance to scuff up President Reagan's unblemished image, and they moved swiftly to do it, just a day after the President accused them of political opportunism.

Summarizing the proceedings at this seventh annual economic summit conference of the major industrial democracies, Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau of Canada maintained last night that each participant ''went some distance'' in accommodating the views of the others. But as the comments of officials from the conference nations made clear this evening at the meeting's conclusion, the distance traveled was in most cases little more than symbolic, and the deep economic divisions and differences of perspective, as expected, remained. What seemed important to the participants was a sense of heightened morale derived from the fact that, for all their disagreements, they could unite around broad objectives: free trade, improving the economic lot of the poor nations of the world and, above all, the need to be more sensitive to the potential adverse impact that each country's economic policies might have on the others. In the 2,000-word communique, moreover, there was language that each leader could point to as evidence that his or her perspective was reflected. In most cases, however, such language was a tribute to the artfulness of the drafters of the communique in finding phrases to submerge, rather than bridge, those differences.

International Israel linked a cease-fire in Lebanon to a broad withdrawal by forces of the Palestine Liberation Organization. The Israelis rejected a United States appeal for an immediate truce and reiterated their longstanding refusal to deal with the P.L.O., but they authorized Philip C. Habib, the special American envoy, to act as an intermediary in negotiations with Lebanon. (Page A1, Column 6.) U.S. diplomatic efforts were pressed to promote a truce in southern Lebanon. A senior Reagan Administration official said that preliminary reports from a meeting between Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Mr. Habib offered ''some basis for forward movement'' toward a cease-fire. (A1:5.)

International The United States criticized Israel because of the Israeli air strikes in Lebanon. Two top Reagan Administration officials suggested that the policies of Prime Minister Menachem Begin had set back American efforts to obtain a cease-fire and had made it more difficult to resume deliveries of F-16 jets to Israel. (Page A1, Column 6.) Israeli jets made four raids on two makeshift bridges on the coastal road between Beirut and Tyre. At least 50 people were reported killed. Farther north, at least 18 people were reported killed and an oil pipeline was set afire in two Israeli strikes. (A12:1-3.)

MURMURS of the coming Stravinsky centenary are already audible, even though the full roar of the 1981-82 season is still several months away. In late fall, CBS Masterworks will issue a 31-record extravaganza documenting its long relationship with the composer. This release might be subtitled ''Stravinsky on Stravinsky,'' since the composer either directly participated in or supervised all of these performances. The collection was made possible a generation ago when Goddard Lieberson as head of Columbia Masterworks (now CBS Masterworks) decided to record everything the composer had written or was to write. Lieberson died in 1977, Stravinsky in 1971. The earliest item here is the ''Piano-Rag Music'' recorded by the composer himself for Columbia's French affiliate in the 1930's. During his European years, Stravinsky did record intermittently on other labels. The CBS collection, however, embraces his recording history after he came to this country.
