RETURN OF THE COURT TO BUCKINGHAM PALACE
FROM THE ISLE OF WIGHT.—(THIS DAY.)—Her Majesty
and Prince Albert, accompanied by their seven illustrious
children, and attended by Viscountess Jocelyn, Lady in
Waiting; the Hon. Mary Seymour, Maid of Honour, Lord
Charles Lennox Fitzroy, Equerry; Colonel Myddleton Bid-
dulph, Master of the Household, and their usual domestic
retinue, left Osborne-house, Isle of Wight, this morning at
eleven o'clock, and embarked on board the Fairy royal yacht,
commanded by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, followed by the
Elfin, for Gosport, and proceeded to town by special train
on the South-Western Railway to the Nine Elms station,
whence they were escorted to the Palace by an officer's party
of the 13th Light Dragoons. Her Majesty will remain in
town until Monday the 7th June, when the Court will pro-
ceed to Windsor for Ascot races.

EXCITING SCENE ON THE SEEPENTINE—Yester-
day afternoon, between two and three o'clock, the following
exciting scene occurred on the Serpentine river whilst the
banks on either side were crowded with rank and fashion.
Two gentlemen hired a boat of Mr. Greaves, the boat owner,
and were amusing themselves by rowing about, when all
of a sudden one of the gentlemen stood up for the pur-
, pose of looking at a distant object. The moment he did
so he rolled a little on the larboard side of the boat, and the
vessel turned bottom upwards. The two gentlemen had the
presence of mind to cling to the boat as she floated on the stir -
face of the river, but in their anxiety to save themselves the
craft turned over three tim,s, and both would have been
drowned had it not been for the exertions of two watermen,
the station of the Royal Humane Society being some dis-
tance off. One was rowing a boat in which were a lady and
child, and the former, seeing the critical condition of the
two persons, beseeched the waterman to row towards them,
and if possible to save them. He did as requested, most man-
fully, when one of them laid hold of the vessel, and in his
anxiety nearly overturned it; but owing to the judgment of
the man in charge he was prevented, and the same water-
man pulled him into his vessel, whilst another succeeded in
saving the other. The lady and child were literally deluged
with water. The two gentlemen having been taken to the
Royal Humane Society's receiving-house, they were placed
in hot baths, and happily both recovered from the effects
of the immersion.

IMPROVEMENT AT THE BANK OF ENGLAND —The
governor and directors of the Bank of England have caused
a fountain to be constructed on a space of ground adjoining
the bank parlour, which will be in operation in the course of
a few days. The area on which it is situated was a vacant
site, but it will be converted into an ornamental garden,
which will be a considerable improvement to that part of
this extensive building. The basin to receive the water is
circular, and about 14 feet in diameter. It is formed of
Portland stone, and presents a very neat and chaste appear-
ance. The jet will be about 20 feet in height, the water
being supplied from an artesian well, sunk on the premises,
and which is forced by steam power into tanks on the roof
of the bank. The surplus water will then pass into the
sewer.

THE RETURN FROM THE DERBY,--It i 8 a face
worth noting that the day after the Derby has passed over
without the presentation of a single charge or complaint at
the Lambeth Police-court at all connected with that great
annual holiday.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON LOCH VENNACHAR.--On
Saturday last a party of pleasure took a boat for the pur-
pose of enjoyiug a day's sail on the water, when, in their
progress, the oar of one of the rowers dropped overboard.
Two or three of the party rushed to the side, in order to re-
cover the oar before the boat had passed by it, when their
weight caused the boat to overset, and, we grieve to relate, I
