Her Majesty and Prince Albert attended Divine
Service yesterday forenoon at Esher Church. The demonstra-
tions of attachment that she received along the road all the way
to Claremont on Saturiay, and on her way to the Church yes-
terday, must have been highly gratifying to her Majesty.
We hear with deep regret that the Earl of Dur-
ham has had a relapse, and is now quite unable to attend his
place in the House of Lords. The Noble Earl has not quitted his
house for the last three weeks. His physicians have recom-
mended his taking the waters of Carlsbad; and, if able to
travel, he will go off, with Lady Durham and his family, in
about a week.—Morning Chronicle. [Surely, within 4‘ the
last three weeks," we have seen Lord Durham named in the
Court Circular as a guest at one of the Queen's entertain-
ments ?]— Spectator. The Countess of Durham and Lady
Mary Lambton were at her Majesty's ball, but on that day the
Earl of Durham was confined to his bed. The Court Circular
certainly did state that the Earl of Durham was himself at the
ball. That statement was, however, erroneous. —Morning
Chronicle.

LORD BROUGHAM.—The Noble and Learned
Lord is expected at his mansion to-morrow evening from
Cannes.

DEATH OF LIEUTENANT-COLONEL LYSTER,
or THE GRENADIER GLIARDS.—In the American papers
brought by the Great Western, we find the following para.
graph :—" Lieut.-Colonel Lyster, of the Grenadier Guards,
was found dying in his bed, on the morning of the Ist instant,
at the Globe Hotel, Quebec. Before the medical gentlemen
sent for could arrive life was utterly extinct. Lieut.-Colonel
Lystcr had arrived the day before, in command of the batta-
lion, and rode at its head from the wharf to the Citadel. Al-
though very weak, he was able, on alighting at the hotel, to
transact regimental business.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN OT-
WAY.—A very serious accident happened, on Friday evening,
in Hyde Park, to Captain Otway, of the Royal Navy, eldest
son of Admiral Sir Bobert Otway, Bart. Captain Otway was
riding a very spirited horse in the grass field on the left of Rot-
ten-row, when the animal reared up, shied at the hurdles, and
at the same time, in consequence of the rider bearing the reins
too tightly, both went over. Captain Otway fell on his back,
and the horse upon him. By the concussion great internal in-
jury arose, but no bones were broken. Captain Otway was
immediately conveyed to the rooms of Colonel Cavendish, at
the Knightsbridge-barracks. Mr. Lane, the resident surgeon
at St. George's Hospital, was the first medical attendant ; but
shortly after Sir Astley Cooper and Sir Benjamin Brodie ar-
rived. Bleeding and fomentations were resorted to, the patient
suffering the most acute agony. Lord Clarence Paget, who was
riding with Captain Otway at the time of the melancholy occur-
rence, sat by the bed of the sufferer during the whole of Friday
night. On Saturday evening Sir Robert Otway arrived from
Sheerness, and the Gallant Admiral has remained at the bar-
racks ever since, except for a short period yesterday, when he
went to bring Lady Otway and her daughters to the melan-
choly scene. We lament to state that last evening there were
hut faint hopes of his surviving through the night. Captain
Otway is about 30 years old, and a great favourite in the navy.
The Queen has sent repeatedly to learn what hope the medical
gentlemen entertained.
ANTI-CORN-LAW DINNERS.-011 Wednes-
day last, the North Cheshire Anti-Corn-law Association, ac-
cording to previous announcement, gave a public dinner to Mr.
Archibald Prentice, Editor of the Manchester Times, in ac-
knowledgment of his valuable gratuitous services as an Anti.
Corn-law Lecturer, in North Cheshire. The dinner, which
was got up in excellent style, and reflected great credit on the
worthy host, Mr. Weatherby, took place in the George and
Dragon Inn, Cheadle, and was attended by about sixty gentle-
men, including several strangers from Manchester. It was in-
tended that Absalom Watkins, Esq., should have presided, but
though that gentleman was present, the delicate state of his
health made him decline the duties of the chair, which was
ably filled by James Watts, Esq. After the usual routine loyal
toasts had been disposed of, Mr. Absalom Watkin proposed the
health of Mr. Prentice, in a most eloquent speech, in which,
with a delicacy and propriety peculiar to himself, he paid a just
tr,bute to the public services of Air. Prentice on various oc-
casions, and especially on the Corn-law question. Mr. Pren.
tice replied in a speech full of feeling and intelligence, in which
he expressed his determination to go forward in his exertions
to benefit his fellow-men, under the cheering impulse of the
high approbation of a man like Mr. Watkins, and the company
then assembled. Many excellent speeches were delivered in
the course of the evening. An excellent spirit of zeal in the
Anti-Corn-law cause characterized the whole of the proceed-
ings, which terminated about half.past ten. On Thursday
evening a public dinner was given to Mr. Prentice, in the same
place, by one hundred of the working men of the neighbour-
hood, and was characterised by the same spirit.
BASTENNE BITUMEN COMPANY.--A Scial
General Meeting of the Shareholders in this Comppe
any, was
held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, yesterday,
when the Report of the Directors, with the statement of ac-
counts, was read. It appeared that the prospects of the Com-
pany, although uninfluenced by the great depression which has
reigned over the monetary affairs of the kingdom during the
last two years, are now, by the exertions of the Directors,
placed in a prosperous position, as far as regards the future
operations of the Company. Advantageous arrangements have
been made with most influential persons in the United States of
America, Russia, Germany, and other Continental countries,
for the supply of the manufactured material ; and in this king.
dom the novelty of its application has disappeared, and its
great value in various ways has been fully substituted. The
feeling which pervaded the meeting was strongly in favour of
the absent Shareholders to respond to the call of the Directors,
and place them in a position to carry out, with every due effect,
the many contracts which have been presented to them, but
which have been retarded by the want of sufficient funds. A
further indulgence to the 6th of June was granted to pay the
call of 1/. ; after that date, all shares not then paid up will be
forfeited, and the Directors will be empowered to re-issue them
at the rate of 1/. Is. per share. Thanks were then votedto
the Directors, for their past exertions.
ST. DAVID'S, EXETER.—The police have
only recovered the plate, but all the offenders engaged in this
daring outrage are now iu custody. not
