THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO WALMER

CASTLE.
WALmER, SUNDAY.—Yesterday the unsettled state
of the weather prevented-her Majesty from-taking her
accustomed walking exercise.
His Royal Highness Prince Albert walked out on
the beach for a short time.
Sir J. Clarke arrived at the Castle in the morning.
This morning. her Westy walked out with his
Royal. Highness Prince Albert on the beach upwards
of two hours. Her Majesty and the Prince, after
walking as far as Deal, returned by the sea-side to
King's Down and back to the Castle.
The Princess Royal was taken an airing.
Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Al-
bert attended Divine service this morning, 'N IliCh was
performed in the Castle by the Rev. Mr. Lane, rector
of Deal. Lord Charles Wellesley, Viscount Sydney,
Col. Wylde, and most of the suite were prezent.
There Will be no addition to the Royal dinner party
this evening.
Viseount Sydney takes his departure on Tuesday
next.
The inhabitants of Ramsgate, Sandwich, and
other places of interest in this neighbourhood, have
been anxiously expecting the honour of a visit from
her Majesty, and, consequently, have been in a state
of preparation for several days past to give the Queen
and his Royal Highness a welcome reception. So
much, however, depends on the fineness of the weather,
that no day can' be positively named when her Ma-
jesty will honour her loyal subjects in these parts
with a visit.
It is expected that the Prince will accompany Capt.
Bullock in the Fearless surveying steamer to Rams-
gate; and, should the Weather take a favourable chance,
there is a great probability of her Majesty going to
this port by the same conveyance.
To-morrow, at nine o'clock in the morning, the
Thunderer will dress ship—at noon fire a Royal salute
and man yards—in the evening illuminate, by light-
ing each port.
Mr. Brockman's fox hounds will throw off on Wed-
nesday next near the Telegraph, Tilmanstone, about
' five miles distant from Walmer, for the convenience of
Prince Albert, should his Royal Highness wish to
hunt on that day.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT BLENHEIM.—The following
account of this unfortunate affair is sent us by a Cor-
respondent :—" On Thursday morning I was going
through the park, when I heard the report of a gun,
and passing through Coombe Lodge was told that
Eliott, the park and gamekeeper, had shot a young
woman. It appears that Eliott was shooting at a doe,
and this poor girl was wooding at a distance of 554
yards ; the keeper missed the doe, but unfortunately
shot the poor girl through the chest; it was purely
accidental, and Eliott is a great deal distressed at the
occurrence. The poor girl, whose name, I believe is
Oldacres, was conveyed to the George public-house at
Hamborough, and a Coroner's inquest was to sit
yesterday morning. It is a curious circumstance that
this poor girl's brother was killed about twelve months
since on the railroad." Since we received the above,
we have obtained the particulars of the inquest which
was held yesterday before James Westhall, Esq.,
Coroner for the county, from which it appears that
when the melancholy accident took place, the keeper
was near the High Lodge, shooting deer with a rifle,
and that the poor girl, who is only 13 years of age,
was picking up wood near spring Lock-gate, a dis-
tance of 554 yards, 330 of which are very thickly in-
terspersed with trees, which prevented the keeper see-
ing the deceased, when she was struck by a ball,
which entered hor left breast, and caused irstant
death. It appeared, on examination, that the ball
must have glanced off some hard substance. Some
men passing at the time, attracted by the screams of
children, picked her up, but found she was quite
dead. After a long and patient investigation, the
Jury returned a verdict of " Homicide by -misad-
venture," accompanied by an expression of their
opinion, that the keeper had not used due caution
when shooting in the park at the time of picking up
wood; it being stated that the Duke of Marlborough
had given positive orders that no deer shall be shot
on what are called "woodinz days." We are pleased
to hear that the Duke and Duchess on hearing of the
sad accident, sent over to the family, and did what
they could to alleviate their misery by liberally admi-
nistering aid.—Oxford Herald.
HENLEY BANK.—On Saturday a meeting of the
creditors of Messrs. J. D. and T. Lydall, proprietors
of the Henley Bank, was held at the Town-hall. J.
Dixon, Esq., Mayor, was called to the Chair. He
entered into a full detail of the banking concerns of
the firm, and the causes of their suspending payment.
He said that their London agent having refused to
pay their notes yesterday week, in consequence of a
party who was indebted to the bank having neglected
to lodge with the agent a certain sum of money that
he had promised to pay in, they were obliged to sus-
pend payments. Ile, however, assured the large body
of creditors present, that there were full assets to pay
20s. in the pound sterling, and that Messrs. Lydall
deeply regretted the inconvenience that arose to
many persons from the interruption that took
place. The assets of the bank were overdrawn
accounts, 8,4551. 16s. Bills due, 2,7851. Os. 3d.
Bills coming due, 3,194/. 17s. 7d. Cash in the
hands of Messrs. Parker and Co., 1,5001. Cash at
Messrs. Grote's bank, 401. Cash in the Henley
Bank, 401. Total, 16,0151. 13s. 10d. The liabilities
were as follow :—Due to creditors, 9,6401. ss. Bd.
Notes in circulation, 4,8951. Due to Messrs. Grote's
bank, 7,6161., for which freehold property was held as
security to the amount of 995/. per annum • and there
was a further incumbrance of 2,0001. on that freehold.
Messrs. Grote held good bills to the amount of 5,5001.
From this statement, observed Mr. Dixon, without
touching the freehold, there were Lona
,fide assets to
pay 20s. in the pound sterling; and the freehold pro-
perty was estimated at the value of 30,000/.—(Hear.)
In conclusion, he lauded the Messrs. Lydall for their
integrity, and Called upon Mr. Parker to explain how
the liabilities of the bank would be paid. Mr. Parker
expressed his conviction that the assets, independently
of the freehold property, were amply sufficient to
pay off all the liabilities of the bank. The proposi-
tion he had to. make to the creditors was to pay 10s.
on the 19th of next month, ss. in the following Feb-
ruary, and the last ss. before La_dy-day. Alessri.
Mallett, W plomstead, Campion, Shelton, Hunt, and
others, expressed themselves perfectly satisfied, and it
was unanimously resolved that the creditors had every
confidence in the solvency of the Messrs. Lydall, and
expressed their willingness to accede to the proposition
of Mr. Parker.
EXTENSIVE HIGHWAY ROBBERY.--Information has
been received in the metropolitan police district that
cattle-dealer,.
oofn
St.W emdnaersydasy, about two miles
from Tiverton by three men, who robbed him of Cnoigrnhwt alrbtN3vairs.sTto.pjpoednes,
up-
wards of 500/. in s overeigns and notes of the Bank
of England, Stanley and Co., and the East Cornwall
Bank of Messrs. Foster, Cooke, and Co. Two of
the robbers wore short smock frocks, and appeared
to be stout men about five 'eet eight inches high.
The other man was short and wore a dark-coloured
jacket. A reward of 501. has been offered for their
apprehension.
KENDAL TRADE.—The demand for goods in several
branches of the trade of this town, is fair. We believe
thatthere are not many orders on hand. Dealers, in the
present day, require their orders fulfilled much sooner
than formerly. But at present, in woollens, linseys,
and hosiery, a good many goods are making. We
wish the demand may continue.--Kendaqiercury.
