THE COURT.

The Queen and the Prince Consort returned to Buck-
ingham Palace, from Worsley Hall, near Manchester, at
twenty minutes before three o'clock on Thursday after-
noon. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness were accom-
panied by the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Prince
Alfred, the Princess Alice, and Prince Frederick William
of Prussia. In attendance were Lady Churchill, the Hon.
Eleanor Stanley, the Lord Chamber'ain, Colonel the Hon.
C. B. Phipps, Major-General the Hon. C. Grey, Colonel
F. H. Seymour, Baron de Moltke, Mr. Gibb, and Lieu-
tenant Cowell. Tne royal party proceeded from the

by a detachment of Light Dragoons, to Buckingham
Palace, where the Queen and the Prince Consort were

MISHAP TO THE QUEEN'S CARRIAGE.—On Thursday
afternoon, as her Majesty, with her august visitors, was
passing down St. James's-street, on their way to Bucking-
ham Palace from the Euston-square station, one of the
horses in the Queen's carriage, which was proceeding at
rather a rapid pace, suddenly fell. A police-constable at
once rushed at the horse's head, and many other persons
rendered assistance. The animal soon got on its legs,
and, as it had received but a slight injury, the royal
cortege proceeded on to their destination.
Yesterday afternoon (Friday) his Majesty the King of
the Belgians arrived by special train from Dover at the
Bricklayers' Arms Station, where his Majesty was met by
the Prince Consort and his Royal Highness Prince
Frederick William of Prussia, and proceeded with several
carriages and four, with outriders in scarlet liveries to
Buckingham Palace. In attendance were Lord Byron,
Captain the Hon. Dudley de Ros, Colonel F. H. Seymour,
Baron de Moltke, &c.

The Emperor and Empress of the French will probably
sojourn in Manchester two days. Their visit is expected
to take place within the next six weeks.
DEATH OF THE EARL OF MORNINGTON.—This peer died
on Thursday, after a brief illness, at his residence in Lon-
don. He was son of the third earl, and born in 1788. In
1812 he married the eldest daughter and co-heir of the late
Sir James Tylney- Long, Bart., whose name he thereupon
assumed. The proceedings consequent on that alliance
brought the earl's name prominently before the public
many years ago. His wife died in 1825, since which Lord
Mornington has been again married. The constableship
of Maryborough Castle, and the -rangership of Epping
Forest, become vacant by the demise of the noble earl, who
is succeeded in his family honours by his son, Viscount
Wellesley, now fifth Earl of Mornington.

The Post believes it is the intention of the Emperor and
Empress of France to visit the Art Treasures Exhibition.
They will probably sojourn in Manchester two days.
CONSTANTINO PLE, June 20 —The government circular
confidentialy addressed to the foreign diplomatie agents
maintains the right of the Porte to the Island Perim, and
expresses a hope that the English will evacuate.
A considerable trade is springing up in Californian wine.
The grapes an excellent, and those who profess to be
judges assert that every description of wine, from ordinary
claret to sparkling champagne, may be manufactured from
them.

ACCIDENTAL DRAT!" OF A READER.—Ort Wednesday
evening an inquest was held before Mr. Wakely, at the
Poor-house, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, London, on
the body of Joseph Edward Watkins, aged 32, of Exeter,.
street, Strand, a reader employed on the Morning Star.
The body of the deceased was frightfully disfigured and
decomposed. From the evidence addueed, it appeared
that the deceased was sitting on the taffrail of the steamer
" Starlight," and when just off the Pimlico pier he fell
overboard. A rope and a boat hook were put out, but
being, as it is believed, stunned by the blow, he was
unable to avail himself of either. The body rapidly
disappeared, and was not recovered until Monday night.
The jury being of opinion that the evidence as to identity
must wait the at'endance of the mate, &c., to complete it,
the coroner adjourned the further hearing till Tuesday
next.

SUICIDE OF A YOUNG GENTLEMAN.—A very extraor-
dinary and determined act of self-destruction occurred on
Thursday morning in Hyde-park. A youth of gentlemanly
appearance was noticed to pass over the bridge separating
the park from Kensington-gardens. He had proceeded
nearly us far as the powder magazine on the north shores
when he returned to about the centre of the pathway, and
took a spring over the parapet, into the Serpentine. An
immediate alarm was given, and the whole of the boats
belonging to the Royal Humane Society put off, but it
was some considerable time before the body was recovered,
when life 'wee apparently quite gone. Dr. Christia'a, the
medical attendant to the society, endeavoured to resusciate
the body, but without success. The deceased is the son
of Mr. Marshall, a gentleman residing at No. 151, Sloane-
street, Chelsea. At present no cause ov', be assigned for
the commission of the rash act, as he vas a most amiable
youth, only sixteen years of age, aIY,I greatly beloved by
his parents and connections,

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

REVOLUTIONARY ATTEMPT IN THE
KINGDOM OF NAPLES.

Yesterday,news reached Turin, and was instantly
transmitted to London and Paris, that the steamer
Cagliari had been seized by armed Italian insur-
gents while on on her way from Genoa to Tunis-
The insurgents made at once for the island Pouza,
over against Naples, where they landed and libe-
rated a number of prisoners.
The steamer was captured by a Neapolitan
frigate, and the King's troops were in pursuit of the
insurgents.

TURIN, JULY 2.
The iusurrectionary attempt at Leghorn has
been put down.
The steamer Cagliari, which had left Genoa for
Tunis, fell into the hands of the insurgents, who
attacked the island of Pouza, belonging to the Nea-
politan government, and set at liberty the persons
imprisoned there.

The insurgents, with the released prisoners, then
landed at Sapri, in the lower province.
Some Neapolitan frigates captured the steamer
Cagliari, and the royal troops pursued the insur-
gent band.
The political prisoners who escaped from the
Island of Pouza were abont 300 in number. In
conjunction with the insurgents from on board
the Cagliari, they attacked the Neapolitan gen-
darmerie in the province of Salerno, but were dis-
persed, and many of them taken. The remainder
fled.

FRANCE.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.

The opposition journals are remarkably silent
about the coming elections for Paris, but the Govern-
ment papers now strain every nerve to add to the
number of votes polled for their candidates last
time. Although affecting to scout the doctrine of
the Siecle that the political opinions of Paris give
the tone to all France, they know and feel that the
return of Cavaignac, 011ivier, and Darimon on Mon-
day next would produce an immense sensation, not
only in this country, but throughout Europe. Should
these republicans be elected (and it must be borne
in mind that they were all within two or three
hundred votes of being definitively elected on
the last occasion) half the members for Paris,
five out of ten, will be opposition men of the
most decided kind. And moreover, inasmuch as
the -Banlieue, Sceaux, Belleville, St. Denis, &c.,
where the electors are less intelligent and more
under government influence than those within the
walls of the city, are included in the ten circum-
scriptions, there will in the case supposed be five
opposition members out of eight for Paris, properly
so called. To prevent such a consummation every
possible means will be resorted to. Assuming the
impossibility of over-zealous functionaries finding
weans to tamper with the ballot boxes, which
many people do really think is impossible
in Paris, the result of the struggle is very doubt
ful. The legitimists and Orleanists who abstained
before have it in their power to turn the scale,
and I hear various reports as to what they are
likely to do. Several sections of them are, I am
told, frightened at the recent events in Belgium,
and intend, under the advice of the priests, to vote
for the government. On the other hand, some of
them who thought abstention the best policy dur-
ing the general elections feel it exceedingly diffi-
cult, now that they know that only a few
additional votes might ensure the return of the op-
position candidates, to resist the temptation of
doing the government the bad turn of dropping a
few bulletins into the urn in favour of the repub-
lican candidates. The democratic party continue
to be lukewarm towards General Cavaignac on
account of the prevalent belief that he will not
take his seat if elected. If he were to declare that
he would take the oath, it is confidently said that
he would come in at the head of the poll with
15,000 votes instead of 10,000.

The telegraphic despatch from Leghorn, mixing
_r xusetwy and
Naples and inferring something like übiquity in
the ship Cagliari, is very unintelligible; but I
learn from a good source that the fact of a rising
of some kind in the Neapolitan dominions is be-
lieved in official quarters.
