COURT CIRCULAR.

OSBORNE, WEDNESDAY.
The intelligence of the sudden death of Mr. George
Edward Anson reached Osborne yesterday at about
one o'clock. This event has caused deep affliction to
her Majesty the Queen, and his Royal Highness the
Prince Albert, to whom he had been for nearly ten
years a confidential and attached servant.
Her Majesty's departure for Windsor, which had
been fixed for this day, has been postponed, upon the
recommendation of the Board of Health, in conse-
quence of the number of new fatal cases of cholera
that have occurred in that town.
Her Majesty proceeds to London on Friday next,
and will from thence visit her Majesty the Queen
Dowager at the Priory, Stanmore, and should the
efforts of the Board of Health to cleanse the part of
the town which is afflicted have proved successful,
will proceed to Windsor upon Saturday, where the
Royal children, who will remain at Osborne for the
present, will join her Majesty upon the same day.
The Queen and Prince Albert walked this forenoon
in the Park.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, at-
tended by Baroness de Speth, left town at half-past
twelve o'clock yesterday for the Priory at Stanmore,

ALARMING FIRE AT ALDERMAN HUMPHERY'S
WHARFS.—Between four and five o'clock yesterday
morning, as a person was passing the wharfs of Mr.
Alderman Ilumphery, at liankside, he discovered an
unusual smoke. Timely information was given to the
police, and messengers sent to the City and Southwark
engine stations. Several engines and firemen were in
quick attendance, and an entry having been forced, a
tire was found extending itself among the straw and
rubbish in the oil cellars, where an enormous stock was
deposited. The firemen were successful in soon allay-
irg tie fear of the neighbourhood, and fortunately, their
having been quickly called to the spot no doubt pre.
vented a most awful loss of property.
