BIRTHDAY OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL—The birth-
day of her Royal Highness was celebrated yesterday, at
Windsor, with the usual manifestations of loyalty. The bells
of the St. George's Chapel and the parish church rang mer-
rily, at intervals, from an early hour in the morning until the
close of the day. A royal salute was tired at twelve o'clock
from the Belvidere, at Virginia Water, and also from the
Corporation ordnance in the Long Walk. Her Majesty gave
a banquet at the Castle to celebrate the auspicious event.
Their Highnesses Prince and Princess Nicholas
Esterhazy and family, as well as the Earl and Countess of
Jersey, and Lady Clementine Villiers, who were to have
gone to Middleton-park, near Bicester, this week, are de-
tained in town from the circumstance that the scarlet fever
is very prevalent in the village at the present time. It is
doubtful if they go to Middleton before the second week in
the ensuing month. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge has been pleased to offer the Countess of Jersey and
her family the royal cottage at Kew until they can go with
safety to Oxfordshire.
The Right Hon. Sir Robert Gordon, G.C.8., is
expected at the Clarendon Hotel to-day, from his scat in
Aberdeenshire, en route to Vienna, to resume his diplomatic
functions at the Austrian Court.

VISCOUNTESS VILLIMIS.—We are happy to learn
that her Ladyship, by accounts received by the Earl of
Jersey yesterday from Upton House, was considered by her
medical attendants to be going on favourably, and as the
crisis a the fever bad passed, no danger was apprehended.
The eldest daughter cf the Noble Viscountess was also much
better.

THE LATE VISCOUNTESS CANTEEDURY.-ViSCOUTA
Canterbury, the Hon. Henry Manners Sutton, M.P., and Mr.
Sanderson, M.P., left town yesterday for Clifton, near Bris-:
tot, to attend the funeral of the deceased Viscountess. The
interment does not take place at Addington, Surrey, where
the family vault is, but at Clifton.
THE LATE DOWAGER LADY HOLLAND.-OH Mon-
day next the mortal remains of her Ladyship are to be re-
moved from Great Stanhope-street, to be conveyed to Ampt-
hill, Beds, where on the following day the funeral is to take
place at the parish church, where the deceased lady is to be
interred in the same vault with the late Lord Holland. Col.
Fox, M.P., Sir Henry Webster, and Lord Lilford, will attend
on „the mournful occasion.
The Duke and Duchess of -Richmond, and the
Ladies Caroline, Cecilia, and Augusta Gordon Lennox, are
expected to arrive in Portland-place on Friday next, from
Gordon Castle, N. 8., on their way to Goodwood Park, for
the winter.

The Duke of Rutland and a small party have been
enjoying the sports of the field at Cheveley Park, nearNew-
market. Lord George Manners left the Park to attend a
railway meeting in Cambridgeshire early in the week.
Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, Earl Cow-
per, Viscount and Viscountess Jocelyn, Lord and Lady
William Powlett, the Hon. William Cowiper, &c., with a dis.
tinguished circle, are staying en a visit to the Hon. Spencer
Cowper, at the Hon. Gentleman's seat near Lynn. The gen-
tlemen of the party had abundant sport on Thursday in
shooting over the preserves.
RATING OF PRINCE ALBERT'S FARM AT WINDSOR.
—A curious question is likely to come before the Windsor
Bench of Magistrates in connexion with the rating of
Flemish Farm, in the occupation of his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, which is situated within the parish of Wind-
sor. At a vestry meeting, held at Windsor on the 18th of last
September, a resolution was unanimously carried, to the
effect that it was the opinion of the parishioners that Prince
Albert having a beneficial occupation in Flemish Farm, his
Royal Highness is justly liable to pay all rates and taxes
due for tho said property; and that the collector be in-
structed to make application to the Prince for all arrears of
poor-rates due to the parish. All the defaulters, with the ex-
ception of his Royal Highness, were served with the following
notice on Thursday last:—" The period specified in the
notice left at your residence for the payment of the poor-rates
having expired, I beg to apprize you, that in default of im-
mediate payment, the usual proceedings will be forthwith
taken.—W. TOWERS, Collector." The Prince's rates still
remaining unpaid, we understand that an objection to the
summons, and to the issuing of distress warrants, will be
taken, upon the ground that as the Prince Consort has not
either paid his rates or been summoned, the whole proceed-
ings should be considered null and void. It will be interest-
ing to see in what way the Windsor magistrates will act in
the matter.

KING'S COLLEGE HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday a ge-
neral quarterly meeting of governors and directors of this
charity took place at the board-room of the hospital, in Por-
tugal-street, Lincoln's Inn, when George Jaques, Esq., was
elected secretary and house-steward, which othce was ♦acated
by the resignation of Mr. E. C. Stevens. In aid of the
funds of the charity a concert, on a very large scale,
will take place on Monday next, on which occasion several
eminent members of the musical world will afford their as-
sistance.

LEEDS CORN MARKET, Nov. 18.—Our arrivals
of all grain are moderate. There is a good demand for
wheat, and for best qualities of new red rather over Friday's
rates are obtained, while old fetches fully as much money;
the inferior descriptions of new are in more request. Barley
is taken off at prices quite as good as on Friday. Beans
slow of sale, and the turn lower. In other articles no alter-
ation.

THE GREAT BOAT-RACE BETWEEN POCOCK AND
CLASPER.—The great match for 2001. between Henry Clasper,
of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and William Pocock, of Lambeth,
appointed for Tuesday next, is the leading topic of conversa-
tion amongst aquatic men of all classes. The event is looked
forward to with very considerable interest, and there can be
no doubt, from the well-known celebrity of the men, that it
will be a most spirited race. So sanguine of success are the
friends of the parties, that both, in their turn, may be said to
have a slight call in the betting circles; indeed fancy and
favouritism have induced persons who speculate largely in
these matters to go to strange extremes, such as, in many
respects, are not warranted by circumstances; but the majo-
rity of the large sums depending upon the issue of this great
event have,
_ we are assured from good authority, been laid out
at even. The distance to be rowed is five miles, the race ex-
tending from Newcastle-bridge to Leamington Point.
SUICIDE FROM LONDON- BRIDGE.—Last night,
about twenty minutes past ten o'clock, a man ofcolo
named Joshua Parker, who resides in Joha-street, Bermond-
sey, and has obtained a living by vending chea
mounted the parapet upon the north-side of London-bridge,
and
ce was witnessed
and jumped into the river. The circumstance publications

A boat was speedily put off, but the body had not teen found

WESTMINSTER COURT OF SE WER S.—Tlic ordinary
meeting of this Court was yesterday held at the Court-house,
in Greek-street, Soho-square. The usual business of the
Court having been gone through, the proposition made by
Mr. Lebreton, and passed at the last Court, were brought
forward for confirmation. A letter was read from Mr. Doull,
the a'sistant-surveyor, complaining of the proposed plan for
his dismissal without any charge of misconduct having been
made or proved against him, during his service of ten 3 ears.
On the motion for confirming the resolution, passed at the
la,t Court, " That the present surveyor's department is in-
efficient," Mr. Leslie objected to such a course. After a
lengthened discussion, the resolution for the confirmation was
put and carried nem. con. The other alterations proposed in
the resolution, passed on Friday last, were then taken scria-
thn and passed. Mr. Lebreton next moved, " That from
Lady-day next the services of Mr. Doull, the present as-
sistant-surveyor, be dispensed with, and the office abolished."
'1 he motion was carried by a majority of seven to five, and
the Court adjourned.
A commencement has been made near Salisbury
in the formation of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth
Railway.— Wiltshire Independent.
