THE COtill,T.

WALaiER CASTLE, Nov. 23.—T0-day brae clear
and cheerful, affording a delightful contrast to the wet
and gloomy character of Wednesday.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert took their usual
walk this morning after breakfast, first proceeding
nearly to Kingsdown, and thence towards Deal Castle,
returning to the fortress at Wahner, at the expiration
of about an hour.

Both her Majesty and the Prince looked remark,
ably well.

—;_thel3rincess Royal was taken for an airing along
the beach, as usual, attended by the Dowager Lady
Lyttelton.

RoYal Highness Prince Albert, attended by
Lord C. Welleslev, Colonel Wylde, the Hon. C. A.
Murray, and Mr. a. E. Anson, left the Castle between
ten and eleven o'clock, for Betshanger-park, to attend
the meet of the East Kent foxhounds, which had been
appointed to take place in the neighbourhood of
. . _

\-4-almer (about four miles hence), inconsequence of
its having been notified to Mr. Brockman (who has
the superintendence of the pack) that it was probable
the Prince would honour the hunt this day with his
presence.

The meet was more numerously attended than upon
.any former occasion, upwards of 150 of the neigh-
bouring gentry and yeomen of East Kent being pre-
sent, and all well mounted.
• The hounds soon found,, in a plantation close to
Betshanger-park, but the fox, instead of going right
away, ran a ring, going up close to"the horse of the
Prince, and then made off at a good pace towards
Eastry, and was killed within half a mile of the vil-
lage. The Prince, who rode his favourite hunter
Hannibal, was up at the take. Reynard's brush was
presented to his Royal Highness by Mr. Brockman,
and the Prince returned to the Castle with the trophy
buckled to his saddle. The scent lay excellently, and
breast high throughout the run (over about six miles
of fine open country, without a fence), of nearly
six miles.

The hounds shortly afterwards found a second fox
near Waldershore Park (the residence of the Earl of
Guildford), which afforded a capital but short run,
and was killed near Updown.
The Prince has three of his hunters at Walmer
from Cumberland Lodge, in addition to Hannibal,
ridden by his Royal Highness, viz., Negotiator,
Reading, and Divan, which were ridden respectively
by Mr. G. E. Anson, Lord C. Wellesley, and colo-
nel Wylde.
It had been arranged this morning for several of
the members of the Royal Household to have pro-
ceeded in the Fearless Government surveying steamer,
Captain Bullock, to the Thunderer, for the purpose
of inspecting the vessel; but a report having reached
the Castle shortly after 12 o'clock, that there was
sickness on board of an infeCtious character, all com-
munication with the ship and the fortress was in-
stantly commanded to be cut off.
Three of the boats of the Thunderer, fully manned,
which had put off for the beach to convey the mem-
bers of the Royal Household on board, were in-
stantly ordered to return as soon as they had neared
the shore, and were not permitted to land.
The alarm created at the Castle arose from the fact
.

that a lad named Crow (one of the crew). who had
been vaccinated a short time since, had manifested late
last evening some symptoms of spurious small-pox.
The eruption which had displayed itself was of that
trifling nature, that it was really scarcely discernible.
However, after a day or two the question will be set
at rest whether it be the small-pox or not.
It is now stated that the Court will leave in the
course of next week for Windsor Castle.

There will be no addition to the Royal dinner party
this evening, which will be confined to the members
of the Household.

FLYNIOUTH MUNICIPAL ELEC

- -
TIONS.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
In your paper, a few days since, a paragraph ap-
peared with regard to the accession of strength gained
by the Tories of this borough in the late municipal
election, I have to report a gain,on the side of the
Liberal interest. A Tory member of the Corporation,
being also one of; Sir J. Graham's recently-elected
Magistrates, having been obliged to retire from the
Council, an election has this day (November 22),
been held in the only
,professedly Tory ward in the
town, viz., St. Andrew's, but how much it is mis-
represented by being so named, has been proved by
the result of the day's poll,which has placed that well-
known and long-tried Liberal, David Derry, Esq., in
a majority of sixteen above Mr. Scott (a proprietor
of the newly-established Tory paper, published in
this town), the young gentleman selected by the
Tories, to secure whose return neither time, trouble,.
expense, nor any of those arts for which Conservatives
are famed have been spared. The utmost efforts of
the " Conservative Association" were put forth—some
were threatened, some bribed, others locked up to
prevent their votes being recorded for the Liberals—
but all the party have now to do is to endeavour to
console themselves, for having laboured and toiled
in vain.

DREADFUL ASSASSINATION AT BRUSSELS.—We
find the following in the Independant of Brussels of
Sunday :—" Last night at eleven o'clock, some say
this morning at one, a tragical event occurred at the
residence of Mdlle. Heinefetter, the prima donna of
our. theatre. M. Caumartin, whose father was Mem-
ber of the Chamber of Deputies in 'France, was at
Mdlle. Heinefetter's with M. Alme Sirey, the author
of a celebrated law work, and whose father was an
avocat of the Court of iCassation. A violent dispute
111'11Ion athes wsoofrad. cwanee,
aroser between them. M. Caumartin, who had with
asrteahabsseudreAcil*thSairteiri aCndauhmeardtiiend,
alter having committed this • M.
crime, fled in M.
Sirey's carriage. The police
had taken place about a quarterwas apprised of what
. of an hour after-
wards. The most active search was made for the
murderer, and this mor • rung all the gates of the city
were closely watched." The Obse
rvate ur says—" M.
Sirey, who had come to Brussels for a week, had
accompanied Mdlle. Heinefetter to a concert, and
v
re-
turned home with her to supper when the oncert was
'
over. M. Caumartin, his fellow-countryman, supped
with them. Whilst they were taking •
their wine a
violent dispute arose, and M. Caumartin, rising sud-
denly, plunged the sword of his cane into the body
of 111. Sirey, who had contradicted something that he
had said. M. Sirey was only able to exclaim "Je
suis frappe," and died instantly, the instrument hav-
ing traversed the region of the heart. M. Caumartin
proceeded immediately to Dr. Allard, and entreated
him to attond the unfortunate Sirey, but it was too
late. He was cold when the doctor arrived. On
learning this fact, M. Caumartin fled, and it is not
known what is become of him. It is said that a
third guest, who received M. Sirey in his arms when
he was stabbed, was so affected that this morning he
was unable to utter a word." In another account it
is stated that M. Sirey, who was 29 years of age, was
married, and the father of a family. He resided in
Paris, in the rue Llfitte.
Intelligence has been received of the wreck of the
barque Argyll, of Waterford, Robert Power, master
bound for Quebec. She went ashore on the 15th ult.
at Louisburg, Cap Breton, and the captain perished,
there is too much reason to fear, with all the crew
about 16 in number. Several of the bodies were re-
covered immediately afterwards. There were no pas-
sengers on board.—Dublin Paper.
The Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel is expected in
town this afternoon, from Drayton Manor, Stafford-
shire, the return of the Right Hon. Baronet being
hastened by the receipt of the gratifying news re-
ceived overland from India and China. There will be
a Cabinet •Council either to-morrow or Saturday,
when the other • members of the Cabinet will most
likely be in town. The Earl of Ripon, Earl of Aber-
deen, Lord Stanley, Lord Fitzgerald, and Sir James
Graham, are the only Cabinet Ministers at present
in town,
