COURT CIRCULAR.

BALMORAL, SEPT. 13.
The woods near Balmoral were driven for deer yes-
terday.
Her Majesty and the Princess Royal drove in an open
carriage, attended by the Hon. Mary Bulteel, to meet
his Royal Highness and the party returning from
shooting.
The dinner party yesterday included her Royal High-
ness the Duchess of Kent, Count Alexander Mensdorf,
and Lady Augusta Bruce.

MAIIRIAGB IN -HIGH LlFE.—Yesterday morning were
married, at St. George's, Hanover-square, by special
licence, Captain Francis Augustus Plunkett Burton, of
the Coldstream Guards, only son of Rear-Admiral Ry-
der Burton and the Hon. Mrs. Ryder Burton, to Sarah
Charlotte Elizabeth S. Erle-Drax, daughter of J. S. W.
S. Erle-Drax, Esq., M.P., of Charborough-park, Dor-
setshire, and Mrs. Erle-Drax, whose father, Richard
Grosvenor, was nephew of the first Earl Grosvenor.
After the ceremony the happy pair left town for Kent,
and from thence proceed on a Continental trip.
The Earl Granville, Lord President, on closing his
attendance on the Queen at Balmoral Palace at the end
of the week, when his lordship will be succeeded by
Lord Palmerston, will proceed on a tour of visits in the
Highlands, having, we presume, received an invitation
to join the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland's parties at
Dunrobin Castle ; the noble earl, on returning to Lon-
don, intends, with the countess, to make a brief conti-
nental tour.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Cambridge and
the Duchess-Dowager of Cambridge were expected to
leave the Marquis of Breadalbane's,_„Taymouth Castle,
yesterday, en route to the south.
His Excellency Lord and Lady Cowley are giving a
series of dinner parties at their pretty villa at Chantilly;
his lordship occasionally returning to the Embassy to
receive dispatches from Lord Clarendon, and to transact
diplomatic business with the French Minister for Foreign
Affairs.

His Excellency the Russian Minister and the Ba-
roness Brunow have arrived at the residence of the
Embassy, in Chesham•place. It is rather strange that
neither the Russian nor the Turkish representative in
England is a native of the country from which he is
accredited.

THE TURKISH EMBASSY.—His Excellency the Turkish
Minister and Madame Musurus are at present staying
at the Bedford Hotel, Brighton.

THE GOVERNORSHIP OF THE BAHAMAS.—It is re-
ported in political circles that this post is eagerly desired
by upwards of a dozen members of Parliament. The
office is the first of importance which has fallen to the
disposal of the Duke of Newcastle.

GOVERNORSHIPS OF MADRAS AND BOMBAY.—Yes-
terday a Court of Directors was held at the East India-
house, when James Thomason, Esq., at present Lieu-
tenant-Governor of the North-West Provinces, was
appointed Governor of Madras ; and the Right Hon.
Lord Elphinstone, G.C.H., Governor of Bombay.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT AND TRUE BENEVOLENCE.—This
morning, at about a quarter to eleven o'clock, as Dr.
Parkes, of No. 31, Great Marlborough-street, was pro-
ceeding in his carriage through Drury-lane, one of the
horses, a spirited young animal, becoming restive,
plunged most violently, and while a man, a carpenter,
named Howard, was in the act of crossing the road,
be was knocked down by the horses, by which, beside
other injuries, he sustained a serious dislocation of the
right shoulder. Dr. Parkes immediately alighted and
attended to the injured man. Refixing in its place
the dislocated shoulder, and giving the poor man a
sovereign, he conveyed him home to his lodgings in
his carriage, when he desired that every comfort should
be at his expense provided him, and left, promising to
continue to visit and prescribe for him till he quite
recovered. _ _

THE LATE ACCIDENT TO THE LORD MATOR.—Yester-
day the Lord Mayor, for the first time since the collision
at the Hornsey station of the London and Great North-
ern Railway, took his seat on the bench. His lordship
appears to have suffered more severely than was sup-
posed, the middle part of the bridge of the nose having
been so severely injured, that his medical attendant
thought it advisable to truss it up. The cartilage of the
nose is not broken, but respiration from that organ still
continues difficult, and accompanied by pain. The Lord
Mayor describes the accident as one of a most fearful
character, but, as is known, the first thing he felt was
his being thrown foremost in the carriage at the time of
the collision ; he also felt a severe wound on the leg,
which he considered of no importance, although blood
flowed copiously from it. The surgeon, however, thought
otherwise, and after a little time he found he could not
stand.
FALLING BUILDINGS.—Yesterday morning the pre-
mises, 18 and 19, Ludgate-hill, in the respective occu-
pations of Mr. Croft. corsetmaker, and Mr. Bond, fur-
rier, were discovered to be in a state of instability. The
dwellings stand on either side of the narrow thorough-
fare called St. Martin's-court, leading from Ludgate-hill
to the Broadway, the walls fronting which bulged con-
siderably, and presented a threatening appearance.
It was deemed advisable at once to shore up the
premises last evenings. This was securely effected, and
all further cause of apprehension removed. Last evening
