COURT C ERCULAR.

WINDSOR, TifußsDAY—The Queen and Prince Albert
walked for some time this morning, previous to the Prince
leaving the Castle to hunt with his harriers. The Princess
Augustus and Leopold of Saxe Cobourg accompanied his
Royal Highness, and Mr. Anson, Lieut.-Colonel Wylde,
and le Baron de Freiberg, attended.
Her Majesty and her Royal Highness the Princess Augus-
tus of Saxe Cobourg rode out in a pony phaeton, to see
the hunt, about noon, followed in a pony landau by Lady
Portman, Lady in luting ; Hon. Miss Stanley, Maid of
Honour in Waiting ; and Madame Angelet, Lady in Wait-
ing to the Princess Augustus. Lord Charles Wellesley was
in attendance on horseback. The whole of the illustrious
party returned at two o'clock.
The Duke Ferdinand of Saxe Cobourg visited her Royal

The Marquis of Salisbury and the Right Hon. Sir James

the Queen.
Prince Albert honoured Mr. Lane, a mnnnfacturer of Bir-
mingham, accompanied by Mr. Muntz and Mr. Spooner, the
Members for the borough, with an audience this day, when
the former submitted a pair of magnificent pole screens for
presentation to the Queen, and a sumptuous chess-table, as a
present to his Royal Highness. These articles are of a com-
pletely new manufacture, being composed partly of papier
maths, partly of mother-of-pearl, and partly of glass. A
patent has been taken out for the manufacture, no specimen
having yet been offered to the public. The Prince made a
minute examination, and inquired into the mode of manufac-
ture. Specimens of the invention in all its various stages
were produced. His Royal Highness was graciously pleased
to express great satisfaction, and condescendingly accepted
the screens on the part of her Majesty, and the chess-table
presented to himself.
Mr. Muntz, M.P., Mr. Spooner, M.P.,and Mr. Lane,
after partaking of refreshment at the astle, returned to
town.

The Duke of Cambridge and Prince George went to Rich-

ceived yesterday at the Colonial-office.

DRURT-LANE THEATRE.—Nothing is now talked
of in theatrical circles but Wallace's new opera, which will
be produced here to-morrow evening. The composition has
been found to be of so high a character, as to require a great
increase of numbers in the orchestra, which will. therefore,
present a most formidable !appearance. The house will be a
complete bumper.
PROBABLE VACANCY IN THE REPRESENTATION OF
CAMMUDGE.—The lamented death of Sir John Mortlock
will afford Ministers an opportunity, of which no doubt they
will gladly avail themselves, of shelving Mr. J. H. T. Man-
ners Sutton, by transferring his valuable services from the
Home-office to the Excise ; so that what with his sinecure,
a salary for doing next to nothing, and sundry other odd
pickings from the public purse, our amiable Member may
set himself down quietly for the remainder of his life, con-
sider himself a tolerable fortunate individual, and, like his
friend, the Rev. Mr. Crick, bless his stars that he was
" born a Tory." Some time before the news of Sir John's
death had reached Cambridge, a letter had been received
from Mr. Adair, announcing his intention of visiting Cam-
bridge to pay his respects to his old friends and future con-
stituents. The Hon. Gentleman may, we believe, be ex-
pected about the middle of next week, and we make this
statement that it might be considered that his visit was
entirely owing to the probable vacancy in the representa-
tion of Cambridge. The electors will, no doubt, have ample
apportunities of meeting Mr. Adair during his sojourn here,
and, let our election come when it may, he is ready to take
the field.— Cambridge Independent Press.
MILITARY MONUMENT.—At the meeting of the
Edinburgh Town Council on Tuesday, a letter was read, ad-
dressed to the Lord Provost, dated Camp, near Poonah, 13th
Sept., and signed by Captain M'lntyre, 78th Highlanders, on
the part of the commanding officer of that regiment, request-
ing permission to erect a monument in the Assembly-hall of
St. Giles's Church to the memory of the officers, soldiers,
women, and children, of that regiment, who died at Sinde
between the 10th September, 1844, and the 4th March,
1845 (the day of ti,,e regiment quitting the country), amount-
ing in all to 29 officeo, 496 non-commissioned officers and
soldiers, 47 women, and 124 children—in all, 669 souls. The
sum collected in the regiment for the purpose of erecting the
proposed monument was about 120 guineas. The Council
agreed to the proposed monument being erected in the
Cathedral of St. Giles, and referred to the Lord Provost's
committee to arrange the details, and see the matter car-
ried out.
SINGULAR FIDELITY OF A DOG.—Yesterday after-
noon some boys and girls were playing near the canal in
Britannia-fields, when one of them, Emily Seymour, slipped
and fell into the water, and was about sinking for the last
time, when large Newfoundland dog, the property of Mr.
West, Lower-road, Islington, plunged into the water, and
suceeded in• bringing the child safely to shore. At
shec was thought dead, but by the aid *of a warm bath, &c firs t
