WINDSOR.-WEDNESDAY.

Their Majesties, accompanied by the Duchess of Saxe-
Weimar, returned to the Castle from St. James's at six
o'clock last evening.
In the course of the eveninc, the following distinguished
personages also arrived :—Lord Denbigh, Lord and Lady

Capt. Campbell, Lord Elphinstone, and Mdlle D'Este.
This evening the Landgravine and the Baroness De Stein
are expected to arrive at the Castle.

Their Majesties took their accustomed exercise in the
Park this afternoon in open carriages. The King was ac-
companied by Lady Falkland, and the Queen •by the
Duchess of Saxe-Weimar.

On Monday her Majesty and suite will visit Oxford.
The Royal party will take up their abode at the Angel
Inn. After visiting the Colleges and various buildings of
that ancient city, her Majesty will proceed on the following
day to Woodstock, Blenheim Palace, and Strathfieldsaye ;
at the latter place her Majesty will spend the evening and
following day, and on Thursday the Royal party will re-
turn to the Castle. Great preparations are making on the
line of road to greet her Majesty.

plans, however, have, it is rumoured, met with obstacles.
King Frederick William, on the proposal being made to
him, inquired whether Prince William might not, on his
union with the Princess Olga, obtain that part of the king-
dom of Poland which is under the sceptre of the Czar ?
This suggestion seemed to be very displeasing to the Em-
peror Nicholas, who has no intention of relinquishing his
hold on Poland, neither have the .Poles any greater desire
to be under the dominion of a Prussian Prince than to re-
main under that of Russia. The Archduke Charles has
frequently assured his daughter that she should not be sa-
crificed to political views, and that she should be allowed
to consult her own feelings in the choice of a husband. The
Princess Theresa does not appear to have any inclination
to live in Russia ; and if she should refuse the hand of a
Russian Prince, she will certainly not offend her father."—
Galianards Messenger.

On Saturday, as Mr. Trefusis, brother to the Right
Hon. Lord Clinton, was on a shooting excursion in the
neighbourhood of Huish, with Mr. Smith, his Lordship's
steward, Mr. Smith's gun accidentally exploded, and part of
the contents was lodged in Mr. Trefusis' thigh. We are
happy to state the gentleman was not seriously wounded,
and is in a fair way of recovery.—Sherborne Journal.

TANNIN.-At the Monthyon meeting of the French
Academy, Dr. Toulmouche presented a memoir relative to
the action which plants containing tannin have upon the
neutralisation of tartrate of antimony and potash, and on
the consequences resulting from this action, which are en-
tirely contrary to those already admitted.

ENTOMOLOGY.—M. Vallot, of Dijon, has com-
municated to the French Academy of Sciences, a paper on
a new species of Tinea, the larva of which feeds on the
flowers of the Vicia eracca, and which he consequently names
Tinea eraccella. The singular form of the mantle covering
the sheath in which the larva undergoes transformation, is
the same as that observed by Reaumur and Geoffroy on the
leaves of the oak ; but, as the perfect insect is very different,,
Vallot supposes it to be a new species.

LIVERPOOL, COTTON-MARKET, OCT. 13.—The
business done in cotton to-day is unimportant.

On Saturday morning week, Captain James Robin-
son, in the Cherub sloop, trading between Hull and Ferry-
on-the-Trent, while riding anchor abreast of Witton, on the
river Humber, caught, on Witton-sand, a very large fresh

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—Sunday morning,

drawn ashore, and conveyed to the Bull's Head, when it was
found life was quite extinct. The deceased was discovered
to be a Mr. Wheeler, residing at the water-side at Ham-
mersmith, who it is supposed had been drinking on Saturday,
and accidentally fell into the water on his return home.

NEWMARKET SECOND 0 CTOBER MEETING.
Tuesday Night.

Further particulars of this day's races :
First Class Plate—Colonel Peel's colt made running_to the
top of the hill, where Marmalade challenged, and the two:wer e
clear of the ruck before they reached the cords ; a very fine
race ended in favour of the filly by a neck. Lord Berner's
colt and Annalinc were at the fag end of a tolerably long tail.
Second Class Plate.—After• some delay, occasioned by the
restiveness of the Varro filly, Posthaste took the lead at a good
pace, and although cloiely pressed by Calantha for the last
fifty yards, maintained it, and won by a head ; the last five were
beaten off.

A very strange and melancholy suicide recently oc-
curred at Milnthorpe, Leicestershire. Mr. John Benton,
yeoman, of Whassett, in a fit of temporary derangement,
descended into a well. He was seen and followed by his
brothers, who found him supportint, himself by the stones
linear the top of th water. They bad some parley with him
to persuade him to re-ascend, but he refused and plunged
in. They lowered a rope to him, but he refused to take
hold it, and before they could descend and get him out he
was quite dead.
FATAL CATASTROPIIE.--FIVE LIVES LOST
ON THE SHANNON.—Yesterday as Mrs. Gamble of Kilgar-
vey, near Borris-o-kane, was crossing the Shannon in a cot
from the Tipperary side to the county of Galway, in com-
pany with her son, Mr. Edward Campbell, together with
her two daughters, and a Doctor Noonan, who was about to
be married to one of her daughters, the cot upset about half
way across, and, melancholy to relate, the whole party pe-
rished, save the cot-man, who contrived to swim to shore.
Nothing could exceed the consternation which the loss of
this entire family caused in the neighbourhood where they
lived, as they were much beloved and resilected.—Dublin
Evening Mail.

Clearwell Stakes.—Marmalade made running, followed by
Slane, the Sandbeck colt, Alfred, and two or three others ;
Ellis lying in the ruck. By the time they had completed
two-thirds of the distance, Slane and the Sandbeck colt tired,
and gave way to Ellis, who went up to the mare, defeated ber
as soon as they were within the cords, and won cleverly by a
length ; Slane and Alfred were about two lengths.behind Mar-
malade, the former having about a neck the best of it, but the
others were beaten some distance from home. Only two were
placed by the Judge.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On the morning of Satur-
day, a married man of the name of David Goold, miner at
Clarkson pit, lost his life under very painful circumstances.
Whilst descending the pit by the rope, along with another
miner, and when at or near the bottom of the pit, the en-
gine went off by some accident, at which moment Goold's
companion leaped off in perfect safety, but Goold held on
for fear of making the leap, and on ascending with awful
rapidity, was heard to exclaim, " God have mercy on my
soul !" and the next moment was whirled over the top of
the wheel, and dashed down to the bottom of the pit,
which terminated his existence in a moment. Goold has
left a wife and family, to lament the loss of an industrious
and affectionate husband and father.—Edinburgh Evening
Courant.
