COURT CIRCULAR.
The Queen and Prince Albert returned to Osborne on
Tuesday evening, after their excursion in the Fairy.
Major the Hon. Robert Boyle, Groom in Waiting to
her Majesty, arrived at Osborne, on Tuesday, from town.
The royal dinner party at Osborne on Tuesday in-
cluded his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen,
Earl Grey, and Lord John Russell.
Yesterday morning her Majesty and her Royal Con-
sort took their usual early walk. The Princess Royal
and the Prince:s Alice rode on the beach, and the I'rince
of Wales, Prince Alfred, and the Princess Helena, took
airings in the pleasure-grounds.
Lord John Russell left Osborne yesterday morning.
The Lord Chancellor returned to his residence at
Copse-hill, on Tuesday evening, from Osborne.
Viscount Palmerston arrived in town on Tuesday
evening, from Osborne.
Lord John Russell returned to his residence, at Rich-
mond, yesterday, from a visit to her Majesty.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO MILFORD HAVEN:
doubt as to the certainty of this auspicious event is now
removed, it is an acknowledged fact, inasmuch as the
Board of Admiralty have given the necessary directions
to the officers of Pembroke Yard for the occasion. The
Earl of Cawdor hastily returned to the country on Sa-
turdriy last, together with the Countess, &c., having
pla sed their family mansion enterely at her Majesty's
dis posal during the royal visit. The excitement it is
causing throughout the neighbourhood is beyond con-
ception. There is a rumour of a petition to her Majesty
being presented, to give a new name to the town.—
Weirliman.
T wo further failures of large amount were reported
yesterday morning on the Corn-exchange, the parties
being Messrs. Coventry and Sheppard, and Messrs.
Kir ig, Melvil, and Co. The liabilities were not stated,
but th ey are supposed in each case to reach to about
200,0001. Mr. Coventry was of the firm of Hunter and
Co ventry, which stopped in 1842, and King and Melvil
also stopped at that period. In the present instance great
effor is had been made to sustain both houses through the
cre'a it of their connexions, and the fact of these efforts
ha, ring failed augurs, it may be feared, somewhat unfa-
vol crably for the final result. The immediate cause of
sus pension of King, Melvil, and Co.' is stated to have
be, ;n the return of a bill of Lesley, Alexander, and Co.,
for 18,0001. Another suspension was also mentioned,
bu t it was a small affair, not exceeding 4,0661., and the
crs dit of the party had for some time been questionable.
T - le, total amount of the liabilities of the various firms
wl Lose failures have been reported on the Corn-exchange
du gyring the present 'pressure is now estimated at
1, 800,0001.
TEEBLESHIRE ELECTION. THE LATE SERIOUS
A comnsvr.—The latest accounts received yesterday
fr om Peebles state that all the sufferers by this most un-
tc ward accident are in as favourable and promising cir-
ci =stances as could be expected. Mr. Veitch, of Wood-
side, we understand, is the most serious case ; it was
fe erred that his fractured limb would require to be am-
pi 'tested. Professor Miller, however, we are glad to
he tar, has not found this to be necessary. Mr. Brown,
of Ne whall, and Mr. James H. Mackenzie have also re-
ceive Al serious injuries, but are doing well. Both candi-
d? ,t' is, it now appears, received injuries ; Mr. W. F.
M .t.Lckenzie having been bruised on the shoulder and
a' ids, and Mr. Gibson Carmichael, who at first was
t hourght to have wholly escaped, having been bruised in
tbe side. Mr. Robertson, W.S., got three ribs on his
3ft side broken, but he is recovering very well. Mr.
J ;olan Mackenzie, brother of the late Member, was also
Jirshtly bruised.—Edinburgh Advertiser of Tuesday.
