WINDSOR COURT CIRCULAR.-WEDNESDAY

This morning her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince
Albert took their-usual ride to Adelaide Lodge.
Afterwards. the Prince rode into the park on horseback to
see the beagles hunt. His royal highness was attended by
Sir Edward Bowater and Col. Wemyss. About five o'clock
this afternoon his royal highness drove the Queen out in the
park in a pony phaeton, attended by Lady Portman, the Hon.
Misses Paget and Lister, and Admiral Sir Robert Otway, in
a carriage and four, and followed by General Bowater,
Viscount Sydney, and Colonel Wemyss, on horseback.
The royal party passed through the town, entered the park
at Hudson's-gate, and returned to the castle by the new road
and Park-street.
The Princess Royal took a carriage airing, and passed
through Thames-street, Eton, and Slough.
The Earl and Countess Rosslyn took their departure from
the castle this morning.
At eleven o'clock this morning the engineer of the London
Steam-carriage Company was again to exhibit one of the car-
riages to his Royal Highness Prince Albert ; but, in conse-
quence of his not being punctual to the appointed hour, the
Prince declined seeing it, and gave orders that it should not
be admitted into the Long Walk. In then proceeded along
the London-road, but broke down before it had reached as
far as Frogmore Lodge.

We have learned the following further particulars of the
late unfortunate duel which took place at the Lucca Baths,
from a source on which we can place every reliance The
origin of the misunderstanding between Dr. Crooke and Mr.
Plowden appears to have been of long standing, but the im-
mediate cause of the duel occurred at a ball given by the
bachelors at the Lucca Baths, where Mr. Plowden was in
conversation with a lady, when Dr. Crooke came up and
offered him a gross insult. Mr. Plowden requested his friend,
Mr. ___..—, to ask for an apology from Dr. Crooke, which being
refused, left Mr. Plowden no alternative except that of
requesting an early meeting to be appointed. It was agreed
that the parties should proceed, at the termination of the
ball, across the Modenese frontier. The principals were
placed at 12 paces distance, and fired upon a given signal by
Crooke's second. The parties fired almost simultaneously,
the fire of Mr. Plowden taking an unfortunate effect. The
parties shook bands, Dr. Crooke making use of the words
' I forgive you, you have acted rightly.' Mr. Plowden and
his second then left the ground and returned to Lncca. Dr.
Crook; who was surrounded by several of his friends, who
had accompanied him to the ground, was conveyed back to
the Lucca states, where he lingered until the evening follow-
ing. When the melancholy circumstance was made known
to the Duke of Lucca, who entertained a strong feeling of
friendship to Dr. Crooke, he observed to those about him,
that Mr. Plowden was forced into the unfortunate affair,
adding, If you drive me into a corner, what can Ido but
defend myself.' "—Times.
