HER MAJESTY AT BURLEIGH.

BURLEIGH, Nov. 13.—0 n her Majesty's arrival
last night at Burleigh she was received by the Mar-
quis and Marchioness of Exeter, Lord Burleigh, and
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
with the Marchioness of Exeter, the other distin-
guished company following in succession.
As her Majesty entered the. banquetting-room,
the band of the Coldstream Guards, who were
stationed in the gallery, played the National Anthem,
which was continued until all the guests were seated.
Covers were laid for forty persons.
Her Majesty sat in a state chair, placed in the
centre of the table, his Royal Highness Prince Al-
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 Bedford and Lady Willoughby
d'Eresby respectively on his right and left.
The banquetting hall is upwards of fifty feet in
length, 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 tree
pleasure gardens surrounding the mansion. 7,--1 the 1
recess of this window stands a superb wine cool!.:,-r or
cistern of massive silver, weighing 4,800 ounces.
Upon a sideboard at the south end of the room, be-
neath a remarkably fine window,
richly stained glass, repres-.,:nung t ornamented with
he family arms and
the insignia of the 11J
.ist Noble Order of the Garter,
was a magnific. t-., en
display of gold plate, some of which
was present
P. 4 to the family by King James 11.,
Queen Arne, and George I.
At.cue north end of the room, at an r.:levation of
dPWi.rds 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 Delawarr ; the Master of the Horse, the Earl of
Jersey; Lady Portman, Lady in Waiting on her
Majesty ; the Hon. Miss Liddell, Maid of Honour to
the Queen ; Colonel Buckley, Colonel Wylde, and
Mr. George E. Anson.
The general company 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 prineipal
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.
As 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
chapel 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 herself on
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. The rain has fallen without intermission since
midnight, and still continues.
It had been arranged that a battue should take place
this morning in the well-stocked preserves of the
Noble Marquis, and the game had been especially
preserved during the last few days for 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.
The christening of the infant daughter of the Noble
Marquis, who, it will be recollected, was born on the
anniversary of the birth of the Prince of Wales last
year, as at present arranged, will take place this even-
ing at six o clock, the ceremony being performed by
the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Peterborough,
who has already arrived here.
It has been stated that her Majesty had signified
her intention of standing sponsor, but this report is
stated to be incorrect.
The sponsors will be his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, Lady Sophia Cecil, and Lady Middleton.
The dinner circle to-day will include the following
distinguished company, in addition to the royal party,
covers being laid for exactly the same number of
guests :--
The Duke of Rutland, the Marquis of Salisbury,
the Marquis of Granby, the Earl of Aberdeen, Sir R.
Peel, the Earl and Countess of G ainsborough, the
Earl and Countess of Aboyne, Lord Stanley, Lord
Brooke, Viscount and Viscountess Alford, the Lord
Bishop of Peterborough and Mrs. Davys, Lord Lo-
vaine, Lord Thomas and Lady Sophia Cecil, Lord and
Lady Charles Wellesley, Sir George Clerk, Sir John
Trollope, Sir William and Lady Middleton, Mr. P.
S. Pierrepont, and Captain and Mrs. Spencer.
The Duke and Duchess of Bedford and Lord and
Lady Willoughby D'Eresby left Burleigh this
1119ruilig.

Earl Spencer, Mr. and Lady Finch Hatton, Sit
Henry Dryden, and Mr. Stafford O'Brien, took their
departure last night.
Sir James Graham is expected to-morrow, and
several other visitors, among whom may be mentioned
the Countess Delawarr and Lady Mary West, Lord
and Lady Lilford, Lord and Lady Hood, Viscount
Milton, and Mr. Fitzwilliam.

The rain, which at this time (three o'clock) is still
falling, has thrown A temporary gloom over the town
and neighbourhood.

,v
ere will be a grand pyrotechnic display in the
front of the mansion th_l7i evening, under the direction
of Southby, and
.no illumination will be even more
brilliant than last night.
'fhb Inhabitants of Stamford will dine together at
the George Hotel, this evening, the Mayor being in
the chair, in honour of the auspicious occasion.
The following address from the Corporation of
Stamford to her Majesty will be presented to-morrow
before dinner :
" TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

" We, the mayor, aldermen, burgesses, clergy, and
other ministers, and the inhabitants at large of your
Majesty's ancient and loyal borough of Stamford,
most humbly and respectfully solicit permission to
approach your Majesty.
" We feel that we cannot adequately express the
deep sense which we entertain of your Majesty's con-
descension in honouring Stamford with your pre-
sence, and we desire most gratefully to acknowledge
the distinguished privilege accorded to us of thus con-
veying to your Majesty the assurance of our devoted
attachment to your Majesty's sacred person, family,
crown, and dignity.
" That your Majesty's life may be long preserved
for the happiness of your faithful subjects, that your
reign may be distinguished by the continued glory
and increasing prosperity of this great country, and
that a gracious Providence may visit your Majesty
and your Royal Consort with every personal and
domestic blessing, is our most sincere and earnest
prayer.
" Given under the common seal of the said
borough the 12th day of November, in the
eighth year of your Majesty's reign."
Another address will be presented to the Prince
Consort.

There will be a grand ball to-morrow evening, to
which all the principal nobility and gentry of the
county are invited.
The Court, as at present arranged, will leave for
Windsor Castle on Friday morning.

SUNDERLAND, Nov. 12.—For some years past
there has not been so many ships in this port at one
time as during the last week. Not fewer than 700 vessels
were lying between the Lambton Staiths and the Low
Quay, so that the channel of the river could scarcely be
kept clear. Of this number from 250 to 300 sail were
laden, but could not proceed to sea in consequence of the
heavy storm which prevailed. On Friday last the har-
bourmaster gave public notice that all light vessels then
below the -oridge were to be removed to the upper part,
of the harbour, from lletton Staiths upwards, u.:::jd the
loaded ships proceeded to sea. The storm abated suffi-
cleary to enable ships to go to sea Saturday,
Few proceed out, and on Suway when a
u evening, Monday, and
to-day, all the lade
>1 have proceeded, so that the
harbour, though the scene of great bustle, is not now in-
conveniently crowded with shipping.
SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF AM ATTEMPTED ROB-
BERY AT THE ST. KATHERINE DOCKS.—During the
whole of Monday night several persons were seen by the
police to be hovering about Nightingale-lane, between
the walls of the London and St. Katherine Docks, and
as their appearance and manoeuvres were of a very sus-
picious looking character, a sharp look out was kept
upon them, but nothing was discovered as to their inten-
tions at the time. On Tuesday afternoon it was found
that the roof of the cigar floor, in the tobacco ware-
house at the St. Katharine Docks, was leaking, and that
a largo quantity of water was pouring into the place,
and it being known that the same always took place
when the gutter in the roof became stopped up during a
heavy rain, no time was lost by the Dock Company's
servants in obtaining the assistance of workmen for the
purpose of examining the same. On proceeding to the
root; the cause of the stoppage was discovered to bo in
consequence of eleven or twelve large bladders being
placed in the getter, and by their side several ropes and
other apparatus for assisting the robbers in letting the
same down the wall into the street. On the bladders
being removed to the dock-house, they were found to
contain brandy considerably above proof, and had evi-
dently been pilfered and intended to be removed on the
following night, if the curious discovery had not provi-
dentially taken place. We understand it has been since
found that the spirit was plundered from a ship re-
cently arrived in the Docks from Charente, and that a
hole had been bored in the forecastle of the vessel for the
pul•pose.
U NHEALTHINESS OF THE NORTHERN SUBURBS
THROUGH THE EFFLUVIA OF PONDS.—Yesterday a vestry
meeting of the parish of St. Pancras was held, for the
purpose of considering the application on the part of a
body of the inhabitants of Highgate, to be permitted to
divert the roadway, alter the drainage, and make such
other improvements in the Highgate ponds as would be
conducive to the better health and comfort of the neigh-
bourhood. Mr. Bird, the parish surveyor, in submitting
plans of the proposed alterations, said, a committee of
gentlemen had been formed for this purpose, and, ex-
cepting a sum of 651., which the directors and guardians
had already agreed to give towards so beneficial an ob-
ject, it would be carried into effect without expense to
the parish. The water contained in the pond was the
only water the inhabitants could command in cases of
fire. They were also very deficient there of water for
household purposes, and when the drainage was diverted
from its present course, the purity of the water would
be much greater. A vestryman said that great effluvium
arose from the ponds in their present state, and no doubt
seriously affected the health of the inhabitants. The
project would confer a great benefit on the district.
Mr. Morris thought that malaria was very prevalent in
the neighbourhood. The vestry, as conservators of the
health as well as the funds of the parish, were bound
to acquiesce in that which was likely to be a remedy
for the evil. The consent of the vestry was given to
the plan.
BEDFORD.--TESTIMONIAL TO MR. WHITE.—On
Tuesday, November 12, a public tea meeting was held at
the Castle Rooms, Bedford, at which about 200 influen-
tial Dissenters of the town and neighbourhood were
present, for the purpose of presenting to Mr. William
White a splendid silver tea service, as a testimonial of
regard for the able and successful manner in which he
had defended their civil and religious rights at the board
of trustees of the Bedford Charity, and in a series of
letters which he had written in a tract entitled " The
Bedford Charity not Sectarian," in reply to one written
by the Rev. Edward Swann, a clergyman of the Church
of England, who endeavoured to prove that " Dissenters
had no right to be masters in the Bedford schools."
The Rev. J. Jukes presided. He made a few prelimi-
nary remarks, and stated the object of the meeting.
Isaac Eiger, Esq., presented the plate, and delivered an
appropriate address. The meeting was afterwards ad-
addressed by the Rev. W. Alliott, Messrs. Mackenzie, T.
Kilpin, W. W. Kilpin, Barker, and Blower, of Bedford,
By Foster, Esq., of Biggleswade, and C. J. Metcalfe,
jun., Esq., Roxton-house. The plate bore the following
inscription :—" This Tea Service was presented to Mr.
William White by the friends of Civil and Religious
Liberty at Bedford and in its vicinity, for the successful
defence of their interests in a series of Letters, entitled
The Bedford Charity not Sectarian.' November, 1844.',
MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A NEWLY-MAR-
RIED MAN.—Yesterday week Joseph Ames, who has
been for some a book-keeper at the Bull, Aldgate, was
joined in wedlock, in Whitecha.pl Church, by a young
woman, several years his junior. On leaving the church,
Ames, addressing his bride, said, " You want to go to
the west end of the town, don't you ? But mind and be
back in an hour, and then perhaps we may go out toge-
ther." The bride promised to comply with his request,
and was about to part with him for an hour, when her
husband, as if recollecting himself, said, " Here, take
care of this, you may want it, and it may be of some
service to you ; ' and at the same time handed her a bag
containing 120 sovereigns, and also the marriage certifi-
cate, observing that the latter might be of use to her
also. Mrs. Ames proceeded to the west' end of the town,
and returned within the specified time to a public-house
which her husband had taken, and in which they were to
commence business on the following day, when, to her
great surprise, she discovered that her husband had not
been there. Sho remained for some time in the greatest
possible anxiety for his arrival, when a messenger
brought her a note, written evidently in much haste by
her husband, informing her that there was 1301. in the
bank, which she could have, together with some more
money in his trunks, and stating that she might :have
all, as well as his clothes, and that, in all probability,
she would never seen him more. It seems that he has
kept his word, for, up to yesterday, no trace of him had
been discovered.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—Two LIVES LOST.— MAR-
GATE, Nov. 12.—Late last night two brothers, Henry
and John Payne, left the pier for the purpose of fishing
for herrings. Not having come home at the proper
time, and not being in sight, considerable anxiety was
felt by their friends, which was at last increased by an-
other boat coming in with eighteen out of twenty nets
belonging to the missing boat (the Henry). Immediately
several galleys and other boats put off to sweep the part
of the fishing-ground they supposed the parties had
taken, when they very shortly found the unfortunate
men's boat, which, on being brought on shore, proved to
have gone over while sailing, sho having her sails set.
No doubt is entertained as to the fate of the two poor
fellows. They were as fine young men as any in the
place. Henry has left a widow but no family.
DEATH OF Mi.4.49ERGEANT ANDREWS.—This un-
fortunate gentlernan' avAio, it will be remembered, inflicted
a wound in his throat on Thursday last, expired yes-
terday morning, at his residence at Hampstead. The
Learned Sergeant, who was in his 73d year, was the
senior sergeant-at-law, and held his appointment by vir-
tue of a patent granted in the reign of George 111. The
Learned Gentleman, it is stated, had lately been exceed-
ingly melancholy, more particularly since the appoint-
ment of Mr. Sergeant Adams to the newly-created As-
sistant-Judgeship. He bad frequently adverted to that
subject, and appeared, it is stated, to think that he him-
self had some prior claims to the appointment.
ALL HALLOW FAIR.--This annual cattle market
will be formally opened this forenoon by the magis-
trates. Up to yesterday afternoon only one or two lots
had reached the fair ground at Gorgie Mains, but a
large amount of stock was expected to be forwarded by
the morning, and holders of stock are sanguine of realis-
ing good prices.—Edinburgh Advertiser of Tuesday.

Et-ROPE.
Bolthara?ly, 1844.

My dent FrlE,nds,—The blood of the gallant officers,
`i;olonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly, Englishmen
by birth; and that of Podderwisei a German; of Na-
selli, an Italian noblmnan ; and of a Greek gentleman
has beta shed at Bokhara by order of its ruler 1 and
I do not know whether I shall not also fall! and what
is more, two hundred thousand Persians sigh in
slavery in the land of Bokhara !

Philanthropists of Europe ! be roused to activity—
free the Persian slaves from captivity !
Bokhara is a beautiful country. Give liberty to the
slaves, and religion and civilisation to its inhabitants!!
Noble Bavarians, Prussians, people of Baden, and
Austrians, join with England and Russia to effect that
great work of redemption from slavery, and plant the
cross of Jesus Christ in the streets of Bokhara.

ASHDOWN PARK COURSING MEETING.

WEDNESDAY.

FIRST TIES FOR Cup.—Win-if-I-Can beat Bill Scott ;
Laurie beat Bodice.
FIRST TIES FOR DERBY.—Bras de Fer beat West-
end ; Almaviva ran a bye.
FIRST TIES FOR OAFS.—Laudanum (late Henbane)
beat Wits'-end ; Blessington ran a bye.
ST. LEGER.—Brocade beat Abelard. The other
courses were postponed on account of the incessant rain.

LOCAL LEGISLATION.—The Gazette of last night
extends to the extraordinary length of seven sheets, and
is almost entirely occupied with " notices" for Railway
Bills ; among which, some others of greater interest are
not unlikely to escape observation. The New Zealand
Company are to apply for enlargement and amendment
of the powers conferred by their charter, and for the
granting to them of " further and other powers, rights,
and privileges ;" and also " for regulation of the con-
veying of lands in the colony to and by the Company."
Several Inclosure Bills are mentioned—one for Not-
tingham. There appear to be projects for erecting a
new bridge over the Floating Harbour in Bristol ; for
enabling the London and Birmingham Company to raise
more capital : for the improvement of the harbours of
Harwich and Lowestoffe (in connexion with railways) ;
for regulating further the police of Birmingham ; for
giving small debt courts to Devonshire ; for the further
Improvement of Bridgewater, Newcastle, &c. Among
the plans connected with the metropolis, may be men-
tioned that for forming an embankment along the
Thames from Vauxhall to Battersea. New streets are
also projected from Westminster to Pimlico (abolishing
the " Almonries" and other low places in Westminster),
and from Lothbury to London-wall (with some " colon-
nades"), and other minor improvements.
WINDSOR JUNCTION RAILWAY.—WINDSOR, Nov.
13.—1 n consequence of the preliminary arrangements of
this undertaking having been commenced at so late a
period, yesterday being the last day for giving the usual
notices in the London Gazette, and so many questions
and interests of a delicate nature being involved, the
provisional committee came to the following resolution :
—" That inasmuch as the committee, after the greatest
diligence and anxiety, have not hitherto obtained the
definite consent of the Crown to their undertaking, so
as to enable them to proceed to Parliament in the en-
suing session, they have found it necessary to adjourn
their further proceedings until the subsequent session,
when they trust they shall be enabled more completely
to carry into effect the intentions of the promoters of
the project ; and that the secretary be requested to send
a copy of this resolution to the subscribers, who will
receive intimation of future proceedings at the earliest
moment."
• SIR HENRY POTTINGER.—On Tuesday morning
Mr. Gilpin, master of the Merchant Tailors' Company,
introduced by Major-General Dyson, waited on Sir
Henry Pottinger, to tender him the freedom of that Com-
pany, which has been the first mark of mercantile appro-
bation bestowed on Sir Henry.
