COURT CIRCULAR

-THURSD

The Queen' will hold a privy council, to-morrow afternoon,
at Windsor Castle.

The Duke of Sussex came to town, yesterday afternoon,
to pay a visit to the Princess Augusta. His royal highness
remained at Clarence House, St. James's, half an hour, and
left shortly before six o'clock. on his return to Wimbledon
Park, the residence of the Duke and Duchess of Somerset.
Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, the Duchess of Gloucester,
and the Duke of Cambridge-also visited the Princess Augusta
in the course of the day..

The following account of the health of her royal highness
was issued yesterday :

" Tee Princess Augusta has passed another restless and
disturbed night. There is no material change in her royal
highness's symptoms.

Clarence Rouse, September 9."
Her Serene Highness the Duchess Ida of Saxe Weimar,
accompanied by the Princes Armand and Gustavus, and the
Princesses of Saxe Weimar, and attended by their suites,
left Marlborough House, at six o'clock yesterday morning,
for the Tower, and embarked from the Queen's Stairs, on
the Ocean steam-packet, for Rotterdam.

Her Majesty the Queen Dowager left Marlborough Botise,
at half-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon, in an open
barouche and four, with outriders, for her residence, Bushy
--qe, Bushy Park. Her Majesty visited the Duchess of
at Gloucester House, in the afternoon, previous

day.

Lord John Russell is expected at the castle this evening.
Sir James Clark arrived this morning, and left the castle
this afternoon.

The following will be included in the Royal dinner party
this evening :—FI. R. H. the Duchess of Kent, the Princess
and Princess Therese of Dollenlohe, Lady C. Dundas, Lady
Charlernont, Baroness Spaeth, Madame de Hugel, Hon.
Misses Cavendish and Cocks, Lord Lilford, Sir NV. Lumley,
Sir E. Bowater, Captain Seymour Colonel Wemyss, Vis-
count Melbourne, Lord John Russell, and the Earl of
Surrey.

WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—It was rumoured
this morning that her Majesty was seriously indisposed, and
that it was necessary, in consequence, to send an express to
London, commanding the attendance of Sir James Clark.
Sir James arrived in flu. -e •L ___ • . .

„., L.isc uullibe or tne nay, and advised her
Majesty (as lam informed) not to leave the castle. In the
course of the afternoon the Queen, I am happy to state, was
considerably better, and Sir James Clark left about five
o'clock. Neither her Majesty, however, nor her illustrious
consort, ventured beyond the castle walls throughout the day.
Such is the extensive nature of the alterations in cor,tem-

elation at the stables and other outbuildings at Cumberland
Lodge, for the accommodation of the prince's stud, and at
Virginia Water, for his royal highness's dog-kennels, that it
is not considered politic to proceed much farther in the ex-
penditure of money without applying to Parliament for a
grant. Another grant must likewise be applied for (and ob-
tained, too !) before the new riding house, with its immense
stabling and coach-houses, can be completed in accordance
with plans upon which the buildings have been commenced.
The £70,000 voted by the legislature for this purpose will not
go half-way towards perfecting the works. Then there is
the expense to be defrayed of laying out upwards of twenty
acres of the Home Park in shrubberies and drives for the
private use of her Majesty and Prince Albert.—Morniny

—On Saturday night last a numb

-nteer public-house, Deansgate, Manchester, came out
street, two of the men to

ness the battle. During the disturliance, a young man atm
twenty years of age, named Thos. Brown, a tailor, of Bell's
Court, Wood-street, was knocked down, and fell with his
\head on the pavement. Shortly afterwards three policemen
came up, and the man who had knocked Brown down, ran
away ; the policemen then conveyed Illown to _Mr. Oilier's,
surgeoh, in Brazermose-street, who immediately got up; but,
as soon as-he saw the deceased, said he was dead. The police
subsequently apprehended the man who struck the deceased,
named Samuel Wisdom, and who is an overlooker at Mr.
Harding's mill, in Salford. An inquest was held on the
body, on Monday last, 'and the prisoner was committed to
take his trial at the next assizes, on the charge of man-

. The Hereford Times gives a portrait of Misters, the man
charged with the attempt to murder Mr. Mack re th at Ludlow,
and the Monmouthshire Beacon also has one. We cannot
say if either or both be like that person, but they are not at
all like each other !

THE FORTHCOMING DONCASTER ST. LEGER.—For the
great race, the St. Leger, only a moderate show is antici-
pated, and, taking everything into consideration, the horses
are below mediocrity. The great uncertainty as to whether
the flying Crucifix will stand a sufficient quantity of work to
go through a St. Leger race has no doubt acted as a great
check to the bettors on the race. It is to be hoped her noble
owner will, should her leg fail, give immediate publicity for
the sake of the unwary. My opinion is that Crucifix Will not
go to Doncaster. To proceed. That Launcelot is Scott's
Leger horse there now exists little if any doubt ; and few
will be bold enough to say that their stable this season has
been a weak one. Lauucelot's running for the Champagne
and Two-year-old Stakes at Doncaster last year, when no-
toriously in an unfit state to run, proved him a true and
honest racer; and his performance for the Derby justly en-
titles him to the foremost place in the betting (Crucifix, of
course, excepted). It was observed by an experienced New-
market trainer, and one who is not fond of a too great reduc-
tion in the system, just before the start for the Derby, that
Launcelot was too fleshy, and ought to have had at least two
more sweats. It is, I believe, very generally admitted that

away the prize. When I saw Launcelot at the last Liverpool
July Meeting, he looked amazingly fresh and well, and I
have no doubt at this period that he is at least seven pound:
better than when he displayed at Epsom. Hete I close my
remarks upon Launcelot by observing that he is rity fancy
for the Doncaster St. Leger, 1840. " The fiend is at mine
elbow, and tempts, saying to me, Good Launcelot, use
your legs, take the start, run away from the lot.' My con-
