COURT CIRCULAR.

OSBORNE, MONDAY.
The Queen and his Royal Highness, accompanied
by her Serene Highness the Princess Hohenlohe and
the younger branches of the Royal Family, took
their usual walks and drives in the grounds at Os-
borne this morning.
At two o'clock this afternoon her Majesty and the
Prince, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, Prin-
cess Royal, Prince Alfred, and the Princesses Alice,
Helena, and Louisa, and her Serene Highness the
Princess Hohenlohe and the Princesses Eliza, Ade-
laide, and Feodora, and Prince Victor, and attended

•Iphus

Fit z'cla'rence.

Shortly before the arrival of the royal yacht near
the Spit buoy, a shore boat, with six or seven per-
sons on board, proceeding to the Grampus frigate
lying at Spithead, had, it is supposed, in a sudden
squall, unfortunately upset, and the accident having
been perceived, the yacht was instantly by her Ma-
jesty's command stopped, and her barge lowered, and
happily succeeded in saving two individuals ; a third
was picked up by the boat of the revenue cruiser ; but
in spite of every exertion made by the barge of the
royal yacht and some others, it is feared that three or
four lives have been lost by this unfortunate accident.
Her Majesty remained on the pier, in the Clarence
Victualling-yard, until the return of Lord Adolphus
Fitzclarence with the above melancholy account, ren-
dering it useless to delay proceeding to Windsor
Castle, which place her Majesty reached about seven
o'clock.

WINDSOR, MONDAY.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent received
the Queen on her Majesty's arrival at the Castle ; the
Royal Duchess having arrived some time previous
from her residence, Frogmore house.
The Hon Misses Murray and Macdonald, Maids of
Honour in waiting, Lord Elphinstone, Lord in wait-
ing, and Colonel the Hon. A. N. Hood, Groom in
waiting, were in attendance at the Royal entrance on
the Queen's arrival.
The august party was escorted from Chertsey to
the Castle by the 2d Regiment of Life Guards—
Lieutenant Lumley commanding the escort from
Chertsey to Egham, and ,Lieutenant Oxley from Eg-
ham to Windsor Castle.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING,

MONDAY.

We mentioned in our last that the starters for the
Cesarewitch were not expected to exceed six-and-twenty;
the probability that such will be the maximum is in-
creased by the withdrawal of Lanesborough, who was
scratched last night, under circumstances not very cre-
ditable to his owner. Lanesborough, it is well known,
had been backed to a large amount by Mr. Murphy's
friends, and, as was generally supposed, by himself al,o.
lie was at Newmarket looking well, and according to
Mr. Murphy's own statement, was good enough to win.
A suspicion, however, got abroad yesterday afternoon,
that his appearance at the starting•-post was not by any
means certain, and it turned out to be well founded, for,
about half-past ten o'clock last night his owner entered
the subscription room, and stated that, as a great deal of
money had been got on, and not a guinea for himself, he
should not allow him to start, unless 20 to 1 was belt, d
him to 700 Z. The purpose of this preposterous demand
was so evident, that no one attempted to make an offer,
and it did not take anybody by surprise when it was
officially announced, a few minutes after 11 o'clock, that
the horse had been scratched. It is rather singular that
Mr. Murphy should not have discovered sooner that his
money was not on, and equally so that, only a few hours
before the declaration, he had advised the gentleman, in
whose stable Lanesborough stood, not to mind anything
that was said or done, for that he had never trained so
good a horse, that he was quite well, and that "all New-
market should notprevent his starting," upon the strength
of which gratuitous information the gentleman alluded
to afterwards took 700 to 100. It is also a little strange
that he, the same afternoon, told Mr. Gully that he had
backed the horse, yet refused that gentleman's offer of
2,00C1. for him, and I,OOOL more if he won! Whether
Mr. Murphy's money was on or not, it is pretty clear
that his exchequer will not suffer from keeping his
horse in the stable. The effect of this occurrence was to
raise Surplice to 3 to 1.

The weather to-day has been very unfavourable, but
we see no reason to change our opinion that it will be a
bumper meeting. Our report of the first day's racing,
although the number of events, and the time between the
last race and the departure of the train, necessarily &bort,
will shew that the entries were unusually large and the
sport ample; the unprecedented number of horses in the
town is a guarantee that there will be no falling off as
the meeting progresses, and that the final, or " Hay and
straw" week, will be a monster gathering. The cheap
and first class trains have brought a great number of
passengers, and the town is fuller than we have known
it for years. Many of the nobility are here, amongst
them Lord Jersey and others, whose absence of late
years has been a source of regret to the habitues of New-
market. Should the arrival to-morrow approach any-
thing like the estimate, the crowd to see the Cesarewitch
run for will be "prodigious." The legitimists look for-
ward to it with terror.
