HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO
WALMEa CASTLE.
SUNDAY.—This morning, at twelve o'clock, her
Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert at-
tended divine service in the Duke of Wellington's
small dining-room, now used as the drawing-room.
The Rev. Mr. Wilberforce, Vicar of Walmer, offi-
ciated. The whole of the. Royal suite were present.
The boisterous stormy weather prevented her Ma-
jesty leaving the Castle to-day.
The Prince of Wales and Princess Royal have been
detained within the Castle from the same cause.
At three o'clock, notwithstanding the wind and
rain, his Royal Highness Prince Albert walked for
some time on the beach with his dogs. His Royal
Highness was attended by the Hon. C. A. Murray.
The Royal dinner party this evening will include,
in addition to the Royal suite, Mr. and the Hon. Mrs.
Anson, covers being laid for thirteen.
On the night of Friday a strong south-west gale
started the anchor of the Thunderer man-of-war,
about 30 fathoms; there was no damage, however,
done to this fine vessel. Several merchant vessels
lost their anchors, and ran into Ramsgate ; yesterday
three Post-:Bee packets from France, after landing
their mails, took refuge in the sluices, and returned
in the afternoon. The wind continues strong from
the same quarter. The Post-office packet the Courier,
Captain Langlois, which left Calais at two on Satur-
day afternoon, landed its dispatches at Deal, instead
of landing them at Dover. Vessels outward bound
are collecting in the Downs in great numbers, from
their not being able to get down the Channel.
About one o'clock a Lisbon steamer, outward-
bound, hoisted a waft for a boat; seven men instantly
put off, and were observed to reach the vessel, and in
less than ten minutes the boat disappeared and the
vessel bore back to the Margate roads.ppe The Prince
of Wales boat was instantly launched, when they
discovered the wreck of the Talley, but could hear no
tidings as to the fate of the crew.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALIALYESTERDAY.
THE DERBY.—The only striking alteration on this
event is the increase of the offers against Scott's lot, con-
sequent by the death of Mr. George Clark, on the dis-
qualification of Philip and Abernethy ; the other fa-
vourites in that stable are, individually, stationary. The
betting was neither brisk nor important ; it extended,
however, over a tolerably extensive list, and resulted in
an improvement on Aristides, and a decline of ten points
each on Amorino and the Oxygen colt. The closing
prices were-
-5 to 1 agst Scott's lot—taken and afterwards offered
14 to 1 agst Sir G. Heathcote's lot—taken
8/ to 1 agst Mr. Blakeloas A British Yeoman
20 to 1 agst Colonel Peel's Murat—taken

25 to 1 agst Lord Eglinton's Aristides—take 30 to 1
30 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Progress colt

40 to 1 agst Mr. Bowes's Cotherstone
40 to 1 agst Mr. Griffith's Newcourt
50 to 1 agst Sir G. Heatheote's Amorino

We learn with deep regret, that Mr. Councillor
Robertson died between seven and eight o'clock yes-
terday evening. He has been in bad health, we be-
lieve, for two years or more, but his complaints,
which had been partially subdued by medical treat-
ment, returned suddenly about ten days ago, and
with a violence which too surely prognosticated a fatal
issue. The warm interest he took in public affairs
induced him to attend the meeting of the Council on
Friday, when he was evidently unfit to be abroad ;
hut from that time his strength sunk rapidly. In him
Edinburgh has lost one of the best and most useful
citizens she ever possessed.—Scotsman.
If we rejoice in the selection of Mr. Robertson
Gladstone to fill the civic chair in the current year,
it is not that we have in the abstract any preference
for one Tory over another to occupy our high places.
But we have other and better grounds on which to
rest our satisfaction with the choice which has been
made. Mr. Gladstone has identified himself with a
principle for which we have long been struggling.
He has pledged himself in the face of our Council,
bigots and fanatics, teetotallers or " fragments," that
if the exclusive system of education, now unhappily
re-established in the Corporation Schools, is found
not to answer in conferring its benefits and advantages
upon the children of the poor of all denominations, he
will move for a return to a more Christian system,
which shall have Gospel charity, not sectarian hate,
for its groundwork.—LiverkPool Albion.
MR. CHARLES NEWM*N s BANKRUPTCY.—Friday
was fixed for the final examination of the bankrupt,
who resided at Cogges-hall, where he kept and hunted
a pack of fox-hounds with great spirit. The bank-
rupt attributed his insolvency to the circumstance of
his having been induced to become a large Share-
owner and Managing Director to the Anthracite Coal
and Iron Company near Carnarvon, and for which pur-
pose he had deeply mortgaged his estate. In two years
and a half the subscribed capital of the Company
was nearly 57,0001., which was all speedily ex-
hausted, and debts were contracted, for which the
works were mortgaged to the further amount of
25,0001. The Company was soon after dissolved, and
the works and liabilities have since been disposed of.
The mortgagees sold off the whole of the bankrupt's
property, and there, now remained enough to pay the
general creditors about 7s. in the pound. The
assignees being satisfied with the bankrupt's accounts,
be was declared to have passed his final examination.
—Cambrian.
BELL ROCK LIGHT HOUSE.—During the late
heavy gales which have done so much damage to
shipping, particularly between the 19th and the 23d
ult., the sea sprays appear, by the monthly returns
from the Bell Rock Lighthouse, to have risen upon
the building to the height of from 60 to 90 feet every
tide. While this heavy sea ran, one of those great
detached masses of stone familiar to the lightkeepers
by the name of " Travellers," was forced across the
rugged surface of the rock, about 100 yards to the
lighthouse, where it destroyed part of the cast-iron
landing-wharf. This stone measured about 7 feet in
length, 3i feet in breadth, 21- feet in thickness, and
must have weighed about 4 tons. To prevent mischief
by the movement of these great stones, the light-
keepers are provided with quarry tools, with which
they broke it up and arrested its progress, but it was
no easy task from the run of the sea. The heaviest
seas which visit the Bell Rock are froth the North-
east, but the present gale was chiefly from the North-
west; and it is not a little remarkable that the Frith
of Forth was but little affected during this storm above
the Island of May,
COMMITTAL OF A MAN FOR STEALING HIS OWN
PROPERTY: —A labouring man, named Matthew Leo-
nard, was brought before a county Magistrate at
Stockport on Thursday, charged with felony, under
the following circumstances :—The prisoner, who re-
sided at Castle-bill, Bredbury, had lately had his fur-
niture distrained upon for rent; the property being
removed from his house to a school-room, in which
the er
place it was safe on Monday. On the following
morning, all the property was missing ; p

room

veyed it to Stockport, where it was afterwards found
by Galley, the Bredbury constable, at the house of

trial.-111anchester Guardian.
WHOLESALE INFANTICIDE.—The adjourned inquiry
into the mysterious and horrible cases of wholesale
child murder at Ruardean, in the Forest of Dean,
the particulars of which we published last week, was
resumed on Wednesday last, before Mr. John Cooke,
Coroner, and in the presence of sacral of the Magis-
trates of the district. The evidence adduced was
similar to that to which we adverted last week, and
no new fact of a material nature transpired. The
Jury expressed an opinion that if further time were
allowed, additional evidence might probably be ob-
tained, and the inquest was consequently ad-
journed till Wednesday next, the 16th instant,
In the meantime, Thomas Yapp continues in custody,
and a policeman also remains in the house where the
tragedy was committed, in order to take charge of the
woman (Francis Bennett) who continues in the same
state of ill-health which we reported last week.—
