BURLEIGH, Nov. 13.—0 n her Majesty's arrival

the family, in the north entrance-hall. Her Majesty
saluted Lady Exeter most affectionately. Her Ma-
jesty, the Prince, and the suite, then proceeded round
the corridor to the drawing-room, where the guests
were assembled.
Her Majesty shortly after retired to her private
apartment, and at seven o'clock honoured the High
Sheriff of Northamptonshire with an audience, to re-
ceive the address from the gentry, clergy, freeholders,
and inhabitants of that county.
At eight o'clock the company left the grand saloon
for the banquetting-hall, Her Majesty took the arm of
her noble host, and was followed by Prince Albert

bert occupying a seat on the right of the Queen, and
the Marquis of Exeter sat on the left of her Majesty.
The Marchioness of Exeter sat on the right of 'Prince
Albert, the Duke of Bedford occupying the next seat,
supported by Sir Robert Peel. Lady Portman sat
on the left of the Marquis of Exeter, Lord Burleigh
occupying the next seat, and in turn supported by the
Marquis of Granby.
The Duke of Rutland faced her Majesty, having
the Duchess of
-Isedford and Lady Willoughby
d'Eresby re':vectively on his right and left. •
The ,janquetting hall is upwards of fifty feet in
Itr.r,jn, twenty-eight broad, and exceedingly lofty.
It is lighted by a magnificent bow window on one
side, from which is obtained a delightful view of the
pleasure gardens surrounding the mansion. In the
recess of this window stands a superb wine cooler or ,
cistern of massive silver, weighing 3,800 ounces.
Upon a sideboard at the south end of the room, be-
neath a remarkably fine window, ornamented with
richly stained glass, representing the family arms and
the insignia of the Most Noble Order of the Garter,
was a magnificent display of gold plate, some of which
was presented to the family by King James 11.,
Queen Anne, and George I.
At the north end of the room, at an elevation of
upwards of twelve feet, is the music gallery, capable
of accommodating about fifty performers, and it is
said that there are few rooms in the kingdom more
excellently constructed to give effect to musical
sounds.
The hall is lighted by ten superb Gothic chande-
liers, in character with the decorations of the apart-
ment, which are suspended from the roof.
During dinner the splendid band above alluded to
played the following pieces :
Overture, " La Sirene," Auber ; Recitative and Air,
" Holy and great" (Mount Sinai), Neukomm ; Quad-
rille, " Zampa," Jullien ; selection from the Bohemian
Girl, Balfe ; Madrigal, from "Fair Rosamond," Bar-
nett; Edward Walzer, Labitzky, composed in honour
of the Prince of Wales.
The banquet was of the most superb description,
and the table was covered with a profusion of gold
plate, and rich vasses filled with choice exotics.
The following is a list of the company who sat
down to the banquet :
Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness
Prince Albert.
In the royal suite were the Lord Chamberlain,
Earl Delavvarr ; the Master of the Horse, the Earl of
Jersey
!
; La:lY f*rtman Lady in Waiting on her
Majesty
.ne Hon. Miss. Liddell, Maid of Honour to
the queen ; Colonel Buckley, Colonel Wylde, and
Mr. George E. Anson.
-The generilcompany included the Duke of Rut-
land, the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, the Marquis
of Northampton, the Marquis of Granby, the Earl of
Aberdeen, Sir Robert Peel, Earl Spencer, Lord
Stanley, Lord and Lady Willoughby D'Eresby, Lord
Thomas and Lady Sophia Cecil, Lord and Lady
Charles 'Wellesley, Lord Lovaine, Sir George Clerk,
Mr. P. S. Pierrepont, the High Sheriff of Northamp-
tonshire (Sir Henry Dryden), Mr. and Lady Caro-
line Tumor, Mr. and Lady Louisa Finch Hatton,
Captain and Mrs. Spencer, Mr. Maunsell (Colonel of
the Northamptonshire Yeomanry Cavalry), Mr. Staf-
ford O'Brien and the Rev. Mr. Atley, private chap-
lain to the Noble Marquis.
The family circle included the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Exeter and Lord Burleigh.
After the banquet,
The Marquis of Exeter gave " The health of her
Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria," which was
responded to by the company, who rose from their
seats simultaneously, the band playing the national
anthem.
The Noble Marquis next gave " The health of
his Royal Highness Prince Albert," which was re-
ceived with similar honours, the band playing the
Cobourg March.
Shortly afterwards her Majesty and the other
ladies retired to the drawing-room, the band playing
the National Anthem, and here they were speedily
joined by the gentlemen. The evening was passed in
social converse, in which her Majesty and the Prince
Consort took a prominent part. The Queen was
during the evening several times engaged in conver-
sation with her noble host and hostess.
The Coldstream band, after the banquet, took up
their station in a saloon adjoining the principal
drawing-room, and during the evening played several
favourite airs.
At a quarter to eleven o'clock, her Majesty retired
to rest in the apartment prepared for her reception, of
which so much has already been said. Her Majesty
was conducted to the apartment by her noble host,
preceded by the state pages in their full dress liveries.
A s the Queen retired, the band stationed in the
marble hall played the National Anthem, the tones of
which, thrilling through the various corridors of the
mansion, had a remarkably pleasing effect.
And thus closed the first day of Queen Victoria's
visit to Burleigh.
This morning the Queen rose at an early hour,
and breakfasted with the Prince Consort in her pri-
vate apartment.
Before taking breakfast, however, her Majesty, ac-
companied by Prince Albert, proceeded to the private
shapel of the mansion (where the other guests had
already assembled) to perform her morning devotions.
The chapel is a beautiful apartment, ornamented by
a variety of superb carving by Gibbons. Arranged
on each side are ten antique figures, as large as life,
in bronze.

It is asserted that Queen Elizabeth, when a visitor
at Burleigh, regularly attended Divine service in this
chapel, and that it was her custom to place herseir",32
the left side, nearest the altar, which has ever since
been distinguished by the appellation of Queen Eliza-
beth's seat.

This morning the weather has been very unfavour-
able. 'Vi vi rain h ..ttA fallen-vvithout 'intermission since
midnight, and still continues.
It had been arranged that a battue should take place
thiq morning in the well-stocked preserves of the
Noble Marquis, and the game had been especially
preserved during the last few days far the purpose of
increasing the sport, but the rain up to this time has
prevented any of the party from leaving the mansion,
though the keepers and attendants hold themselves in
readiness to attend at a moment's notice.

Marquis, who, it wi be recollected, was born on the
anniversary of the birth of tin; Prince of Wales last
