HER MAJESTY.

--o--

The Prince of Wales, accompanied by the Crown
Prince of Denmark, rode out on horseback yesterday

morning.

The Prince and Princess of Wales, with Prince
Albert Victor and Prince George, accompanied by
his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh and his
Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Denmark, and
attended by the lady and gentlemen in waiting, left
Marlborough House yesterday afternoon for Titness
Park.

Sadden and Sel ions Iliners of Sir Minto

Farquhar.

It is with sincere regret that we record the serious
and sudden illness of Sir pinto Farquhar, one of
the members for the borough of Hertford. The hon.
baronet occupied his usual seat in the House of
Commons during the early part of the sitting last
evening, and was apparently in good health, but
quitting the house about six o'clock for the purpose
of visiting the library, on passing through the lobby
he fell down in a fit. Colonel Taylor and two or
three other members who witnessed the occurrence
at once raised him, and carried him to Mr. Brand's
private room, where the advice and atten-
tion of ' Mr. Clement, M.P. for Shrewsbury, and
Dr. Brady, M.P. for Leitrim, were at once afforded,
and the necessary restoratives applied. These were
so successful that at the expiration of about three
hours the hon. baronet was permitted to be removed
to his residence in Berkeley-square.
In answer to our inquiries there this afternoon
we learn that the condition of Sir Minto Farquhar,
although one to give the greatest uneasiness, had
this morning slightly improved. The answer to
inquiries at noon to-day at Berkely-street, the resi-
dence of the hon. baronet, was that Sir Minto was
somewhat better.

The Queen's Birth-Day at Gravesend.

This town, long the favourite resort of the citizen and
eastern London holiday-makers, has just'passed through a
_ _

week of unusual gaiety, the first portion of which wa;de.

voted to the Whitsuntide pleasure-seekers, while the middle
part of it was engaged by the throng of fashionable lovers
of aquatic sports, the occasion being the exciting races of
the Royal Thames Yacht Squadron ; and, then, Saturday
closing it up with the festivities consequent on the celebra-
tion of the Queen's birth-day. Steamboats and railways
brought their quota to swell the number of visitors, some
to the famed Rosherville Gardens, others to the Windmill-
hill, and then away through the beautiful fields and lanes
that lead to well-known spots. Tilbury Fort, that calls

to mind Queen Elizabeth and the Spanish Armada, still
remains to salute the lieges on their Sovereign's natal day,
fired off the accustomed "twenty-one" guns on Satrirday
with due punctuality, while tho craft in the bay, of all
s'zes, were profusely decorated with bunting of all colours
and all nationalities in hi:Lour of the day. The grounds

adjoining the Canal Tavern wero specially retained for the

accommodation of a large party of officers of the out-door
department of her Majesty's Customs, who arrived from
London with their wives and families, some by rail
and others by a steamer chartered for themselves. Land-
ing at the Town-pier, they proceeded to the rendezvous of
the band of their rifle corps (26th Middlesex), where they
were received by the band, formed of those officers of the
department stationed at the depot there. Shortly after
which, the amusements of the day commenced, consisting
of every variety usual on such days, including a cricket
match, quoit playing, running races, &c., but, though last,
not the least in its claims to be noticed, the humorous-
game of Aunt Sally.. The flagstaff portion of the field,
however, was the most extensive throughout the day,
where a covered platform was raised for the accommoda-
tion of the votaries of Terpischore. Here the Gravesend
officers' band was stationed, and its excellent performances
were fully appreciated, and fully in demand in playing
polkas, quadrilles, &c. - Tents with refreshments were not
wanting, and were duly visited for the comforts of thinner
man.

The day was charming, and the.utmost hilarity and
order prevailed among all present, and when afternoon
warned the traveller from London that a journey of 23
miles with an ebb tide was before them, it was with regret
that parting became inexorable, but before separating there
was a unanimous feeling expressed of the satisfaction the
entertainment afforded—much of the credit of which they
awarded to the kindness of the controller of the depart-
ment for his arrangement in detaching every officer that
could be spared to enjoy what is to them a rarity, a real
p •rf,,rmftnee of the Royal Anthem, the
revelry came to a finale, and, preparations being concluded
for returning to town, the band played them back through
the town to the pier,

THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS.—We understand that
the Chilian Minister in this country has demanded
his passports. When will our Government understand
that they cannot run with the hare and hunt with the
hounds ? As usual, they have blundered into a course

offensive to both the combatants. Spain is justly incensed
at Mr. Layard's language, and Chili is indignant at being
left iu the lurch at the eleventh hour, and given over into
the hands of her foes. It is the story of Denmark over
again. Another six years of Liberal administration, and
there will not he a Power in the world of which we shall
not have made an enemy.—A meeting of the supporters of
the Earl of Derby took place yesterday afternoon at the
residence of the Marquis of Salisbury. Upwards of 200
members of the Conservative party were in attendance
Mr. Disraeli addressed the 'meeting at some length, and
his remarks ware received with enthusiasm. It was unani-
mously resolved that Captain Hayter's amendment should
be supported by the entire strength of the Opposition.—
